Dr. Arlene Joyner: A Paragon of Excellence in Dentistry and Human Compassion It is rare in life to encounter an individual whose professional brilliance is matched—if not surpassed—by their depth of character. Dr. Arlene Joyner, a distinguished dentist serving the Hawthorne, CA community, is one such individual. I had the extraordinary privilege of working for Dr. Joyner over two decades ago, at the tender age of 15, when she entrusted me with back-office computer and billing responsibilities across her two thriving practices in Hawthorne and Gardena. That experience was not merely a job—it was a formative chapter in my life, one that continues to shape my values, my career, and my understanding of what true leadership looks like. From the moment I stepped into her office, I was struck by the atmosphere she cultivated: one of warmth, dignity, and unwavering professionalism. Dr. Joyner’s compassion radiated through every interaction—whether she was calming a nervous child, educating a patient about their treatment options, or mentoring her staff with patience and grace. She treated her team not as employees, but as family. She extended trust and responsibility to me at an age when most would have dismissed my potential, and in doing so, she planted seeds of confidence and ambition that have since blossomed into a career in healthcare, culminating in the attainment of my Bachelor’s, MBA, and Doctorate degrees. Dr. Joyner is not simply a skilled clinician—she is a masterful communicator, an empathetic caregiver, and a visionary leader. Her ability to connect with patients of all ages and backgrounds, including those with special needs, is nothing short of extraordinary. She possesses that rare gift of making each person feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. Her chairside manner is gentle yet authoritative, her explanations thorough yet accessible, and her commitment to excellence unwavering. What sets Dr. Joyner apart is not just her technical expertise, but her humanity. She embodies the highest ideals of healthcare: integrity, compassion, and a relentless pursuit of doing right by others. Her impact on the community is profound and enduring. She is a cornerstone of trust in Hawthorne, a role model for aspiring healthcare professionals, and a living testament to the power of mentorship and kindness. Though I have since relocated and lost direct contact, the lessons I learned under Dr. Joyner’s guidance remain etched in my heart. She showed me what it means to lead with empathy, to serve with purpose, and to uplift others through example. I owe much of my personal and professional development to her influence, and I speak of her with the deepest respect and admiration. To anyone seeking dental care—especially for a child or adult with special needs—I cannot recommend Dr. Joyner highly enough. Her practice is not just a place of treatment; it is a sanctuary of compassion and excellence. You will not only receive outstanding care, but you will witness firsthand what it means to be treated with dignity and respect. Dr. Joyner is, without question, the best of the best!

The personnel and Dr. Joyner were excellent! My son has an overbite, so they offer sound feedback with his dentures and protective measures. Following the visit, my 7-year-old son was content. Always a pleasant visit
