I highly recommend Dr Max Excellent and caring dentist who takes his time and is patient every visit! read more

Dr Max is the best!!! I have been coming to him, ever since I moved to LA, 35 years ago!!! My parents have even gone to him, when they needed emergency dental work, on visits to the west coast! I wouldn't go anywhere else!!! read more

This has been my go-to dentist since day one! I've been coming here since I was a kid, and I'm not exaggerating when I say they deliver some of the best, most reliable dental work I've ever experienced. Every visit is smooth, professional, and honestly makes going to the dentist something I actually look forward to! read more

Dr. Adbel-Maqsoud has been my dentist since 2014 almost a decade, what I love of going to my annual check up is looking forward to be seen by the entire front/back office team and Dr. Adbel-Maqsoud. The personnel is friendly, courteous, professional and the most important the appointments are always on time. Dr. Adbel-Maqsoud is the most gentle, caring and a dedicated dentist to his patients. Takes time to listen, and performs his examination with excellent bed side manners. I trust his professional judgement and his recommendations. He is genuinely a very happy person. You can tell he loves his profession, and his laughter is contagious and makes you feel positive. Thank you, Gina, the entire front/ back office personnel and Dr. Adbel-Maqsoud for all these years taking care of my family and I. read more

This dentist is very good, actually excellent. He is adept at his work and very efficient. No pain, whatsoever. The dental assistants are efficient and courteous as well. I highly recommend their dental practice. read more

This review is way overdue. I don't like writing bad reviews but I would lie to share ours so we can at least let people know our experience. With all the dentists around your choice would not be good here. We paid over $8k for dental work, not to mention my husband's time. My husband was in severe pain and we found out his implants were not the right size and he had a severe infection as well. No pain kills were prescribed (maybe that was the office/clinic helps fault, but I don't know) it still falls on the doctor. And when we couldn't reach him. He had to bare the pain over the weekend. We went to another dentist who replaced them and they are good now but we had to pay another $6k out of pocket (the 2nd dentist was so much cheaper and he did a perfect job). I would NOT recommend this dentist. read more

Went in after a root canal. Dr Maqsoud cleaned it up and got it ready for next visit. Best dentist I have ever been to. From cleanliness to his staff to communication to compassion to friendliness. I remember dentist visits being a drag ad painful and uncomfortable, but with this doctor you won't have to think that. I finally want to go and take care of my teeth without it being a drag. 6 for this office and doctor. read more

This is probably the best way to explain a 5 Star review: I was telling my coworker that I am going to the dentist and that I'm having my fillings replaced. I've never had it before and she gives me her opinion blah blah. She says if your dentist is good you'll be fine. I respond with, "my dentist is the best" and she says "no mine is". We go back and forth on it and come to find out we were talking about the same damn dentist - DR. MAQ! I live in Santa Clarita, she lives in the valley and we both come to Burbank (since we were babies) for our dentist. Everyone in this office is so kind from Gina in the front (been there since day 1) to all the assistants. Schedule an appointment, come in, say hello, and get a wonderful "Hello, Habibi" from the best dentist. read more

Alaa Abdel-Maqsoud, DDS - BEST. DENTIST. PERIOD. - General Dentistry Near Me - Burbank, California

Briefly went to him a couple of years ago. He recommended a scary amount of work (replacement fillings, pulled teeth... ) and tried to convince me to do it right away or suffer horrible dental health repercussions. When I questioned him I got a lot of ego as Dr. Maqsoud attempted to project authority. I got a second opinion with another dentist who could not find any reason why Dr. Maqsoud created such an aggressive and expensive treatment plan. The whole experience was scary and sleazy. Always advocate for yourself and your patient rights with any doctor and don't be afraid to get a second opinion. I'm very happy with my new dentist (not Dr. Maqsoud) and a clean bill of dental hygiene. read more

Great dr! Makes you so comfortable. doesnt rush the work and felt as less pain as possible. Everyone here is super sweet and professional.

I and my family have been coming to doctor Alla for 30 plus years.he is an outstanding doctor and is detail oriented person.the staff is great and the work is above and beyond. read more

I've been to Dr. Max's office a few times and while his work that was done on me seems to be very well done (no pain or problems after treatment), his table-side manners need some (or a lot) of improvement. Let me start off by saying that the three times I have come in, Hannah has worked on me with Dr. Max and beyond exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond to explain the procedure, go back to my x-rays and answer all the questions I did not even know I had! She kept assuring me that the procedures would be pain free, gave me a few pep talks, and kept making me laugh and calmed me down prior to being worked on. Now back to the dentist...he is very....strong with his words. How he spoke to Hannah was unacceptable at many times. His tone while speaking to her was very demeaning and he scolded her many times while he was working on me. As I mentioned before, she was VERY welcoming, and hands down the best person for this job, and I may not know exactly why she was being scolded at, but I do believe that if something was done wrong that he should not be getting upset with her in front of the patients (let alone away from the patients). This not only put me in a very awkward position, but Hannah honestly looked sad and apprehensive while he was in the room. Although Dr. Max seems to be very good at his skill, he needs to learn how to treat his employees better or at the least not do so in front of patients. Not sure if I will continue to go back to him for future treatment. Hannah and other staff: A +++++ Dr. Max: C+ read more

If you are as picky as I am, I am sure you will be looking for the following before deciding on a dentist to work on your teeth: Cleanliness, Good technical skills, Capable, Trustworthy, Patient, Concerned, Explain recommendations, Information on dental health, clarity, Gentle, Has my best interest in mind, Good consistent care, Humor, Knowledgeable, Honesty and friendliness Good assistants from the minute you enter the premises to the end. A good receptionist, secretary, good assistants and hygienist, with a smile on their face, and a good sense of humor. Dr. Alaa abdel-maqsoud, DDS and his office is the place to be. I've been going there for over 20 years now and I have no plans on going anywhere else. read more

We have known Dr. Maq for about 27 years now. My brother who hated dentist with a passion recommended him and actually told us he's good... so that was worth checking out. My whole family and clan go to him now. My children, nieces and nephews love him. He is honest, good, funny, and gentle. His staff are awesome as well. Gina has been working with Dr. Maq for as long as we've been going there. So that tells you a lot! They have gotten better and better over the years. They do not overbook,so patients don't have to wait a long time and you are not rushed out of there. He is the BEST!!!! We too drive extra mile just to go there. Keep up the good work, read more

I had my first visit today and it was a really great experience. The staff was very friendly, helpful and seemed genuinely concerned about my comfort and health. This coming from someone who normally hates going to the dentist! Highly recommended! read more

Wonderful dentist always recommend him to family and friends. Staff is also awesome. My family has been going to him over 20years read more

What an exceedingly sweet and genuine man! I came here on several recommendations and I'm glad I listened to them. Everyone is right, his staff is super nice. Nicer than any staff I've ever experienced in any kind of doctor or dentist office. I was in a lot of pain and called and I was able to get an appointment right away. Dr. Maqsoud is honest and extremely knowledgeable. The man knows his stuff. He remembers what you talk to him about when you see him, he makes sure you are comfortable, and he takes his time with you, and he really cares about how you are doing in your life. If there is someone who can make going to the dentist easy and stress-free, its him. And again, his staff is wonderful. Go see him! He doesn't like to cause pain to his patients...lord knows why he chose to be a dentist then. read more

Dr. Max has been our family dentist for over 20 years! He's one of the most friendliest, funniest and compassionate people towards his staff and patients. Yet, he always maintains his professionalism. I would most definitely recommend him. You will never have to wait long. LOVE DR MAX!!! read more

I first came to Dr. Maqsoud about four years ago after avoiding the dentist for almost seven years. I was totally freaked out, not just about the condition of my teeth but also the possibility of being judged for them as well. He was so gentle and his bedside manner is calm and attentive. I've since recommended several friends and colleagues. There are two hygienists onsite, but I personally prefer Mona everytime. She's amazing too! read more

We have been to Dr. Maq.'s office in the past and have always been treated very well. Today we called in with a emergency and we're worked in first thing! We can't explain the appreciation we have for service providers like this! I also want to say that the office staff has always done an excellent job of handling the dental billing and cleanings are always A+++ read more

This place is the best I got my dental cleaning on 12/24/19 . They are all very nice .if I had to rate this place 1-10 I would say 10 -10 Dr max is the best I would totally recommend this place to every one. read more

Best darn dentist I've ever had in my life! If I didn't live in Northern California I would still come to see Dr. Max for all my dental needs!!! Love him and his staff!!! read more

I started going to Dr. Maqsoud last year and I have to say it was one of the best decisions I have made! Dr. Maqsoud is a wonderful dentist. He is attentive, caring, and great at what is he does. He doesn't just work away at your teeth, but instead while working he constantly checks in with you to ensure you do not feel the slightest bit of pain. The office is very clean and well-maintained. They also do a great job in reminding you about your appointments by calling you the day before/day of to remind you. Him and his whole staff are friendly and welcoming. I have already referred my friends and family. If you are considering going to the dentist, Dr. Maqsoud is your guy! read more

I will say that the office itself is clean and professional and the dentist seems to be a nice person. Also, the fillings I had done after my first visit were done well and he is very gentle. Here's why I'm giving him such a bad review and don't recommend him in any way. I went to this dentist every 6 months for about 4 years. He never checked my teeth after the hygienist was done cleaning them. Finally at my last visit he took a look because she suspected I had a cavity. He told me I had five cavities and needed them filled. I couldn't figure out how I developed five cavities in six months so I went to another dentist to get a second opinion. Dr. Maqsoud's office refused to email my x rays to the new dentist. Sure enough, the new dentist (who is highly recommended by family members) said I didn't have any cavities and that one Dr. Maqsoud said needed a filling already had one. I went back to this new dentist 6 months later and STILL don't have any cavities. I think Dr. Maqsoud is a crook. Shame on him for attempting to do dental work that didn't need to be done. read more

I want to write this review to fully give other people that may be interested in this dentistry. Today was my first time here and I had a wonderful experience thus far. The facility is very clean, I was greeted by the front desk associate with a smiling face and I was taken in right away. The person assisting me with my cleaning was Mona and she was AMAZING! Made me feel like my own mother was working on my mouth. So sweet, loving and gentle. She gave me some great advice about Flossing, brushing and most importantly, she gave me advice on how to overcome my opportunities with my teeth and turn them into successes. I will definitely be a regular here and consider this dentistry family, my family. read more

First time here--staff is friendly and welcoming. I've heard great things about the Dr. Abdel-Maqsoud, and I'm looking forward to getting on board with a trusted new dentist. This dentist is awesome, and he has the FRIENDLIEST assistants ever! Everyone was knowledgeable, kind and made me feel right at home. Excellent cleaning. read more

The last time I had a root canal 3 years ago scared me as a vein in my back left cheek was injected and my cheek was as big as a softball. Also I have always been a very anxious nervous patient in the dentist chair. Alaa truly is amazing. I knew I needed a root canal for 7 months and as the pain grew I searched and found Alaa. I explained to his office administer I was terrified of dentists so she had me in the day before the procedure for a brief 10 minute introduction. I asked Alaa many questions and he was very knowledgeable. The day of the procedure he made sure I wasn't nervous and kept coaching me through the worst fear of my life. He made sure I was never in pain and made jokes to make me feel at ease. He is amazing and now I will continue my several dental procedures with him. He and his staff were very kind, patient, and caring. read more

Dr Max is the best!!! I have been coming to him, ever since I moved to LA, 30 years ago!!! My parents have even gone to him, when they needed emergency dental work, on visits to the west coast! I wouldn't go anywhere else!!! read more

I have the worse fear and get the worse anxiety at any dental office till I started coming here. Not only is the entire staff so nice but the doctor makes me comfortable and doesn't scare me. I will only come here and he is the best dentist I've met out of at least 3 others that I tried. read more

Brought my daughter here for her first visit ever to the dentist and they couldn't have been more amazing! The office is great and the staff and dr are knowledgeable and so friendly. I highly recommend! read more

I cannot say enough great things about this dental practice. The staff is friendly, professional & made me feel comfortable during these COVID times. Coming from a past dentist who was a nightmare, I was very nervous and scared, but the dentist & hygienist were incredible and my issue cleared up just as they said it would. I would recommend this dental practice to anyone, especially if you are uneasy about going to the dentist. Truly the best!! read more

I had an appointment at 9 30 am and was told by 9 45 that the doctor was stuck in traffic and they had absolutely no idea when he was going to show up. I had to take time off work to come here and for no one to even call to give me a heads up and just keep me waiting is just extremely unprofessional. Not to mention no one even apologized or seemed to care they had me show up for nothing. The staff asked me if I wanted to reschedule since they had no clue when the dentist would arrive. I was already weary about this place since they actually have a sign in the waiting room that says they'll give people who give them a good review a $10 Starbucks gift card. Talk about unethical. Needless to say I cancelled all future appointments and am never coming back here again. read more

Dr. Maq and his staff ROCK when it pertains to dentistry. Also, Dr. Maq's laugh is very contagious, truly demonstrating laughter is the best medicine. Truly look forward to my appointments (as there is always enough gentle touch and novacaine used so no painful experiences). read more

I've been coming here for roughly 20 years. Dr Maqsoud is the best. He's great with kids, and the whole staff is friendly. It's always a pleasurable experience. read more

three weeks ago,Dr. Alaa hired me after job interview as a front desk receptionist and he told me that he will give me a week to talk to my manager from my other job to give them notice about my new job. and because of my school I cannot do two jobs so I have to quit the job to start my new job after i gave my manager notice, I called them and told them that I talked to the manager and a week later will be my last week working there, Jina the lady who works there she was on the phone with me and she said ok great, I will let the doctor know and we'll call you back. I waited some days and no one called from the office so I called them back and Jina again she answered and said Dr. is busy right now and he will call me as soon as he available and again they did not call me back. Two days later and it was December 18 I called them again about my shift when to start Jina told me to come on monday December 23 I was happy and purchased uniforms for the job and today December 20 Jina called me and told me that dr. doesn't want to hire anyone right now and probably after new year he will let you know!!!! And I was shocked, I was gonna get angry and wanted to start yelling on the phone. what kind of person are you Dr. Max? why you didn't tell me from the beginning that i don't want to hire anyone? you are Evil and have no self respect read more

I love this dentist! He was recommended by a few of my coworkers and I'm glad I listened to them. He was very knowledgeable and fixed issues with my teeth that I didn't think were possible (old fillings, sensitive gum issues). The entire staff is very friendly and I was given the best teeth cleaning I've had in a long time. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to see an experienced dentist. read more

Have been a patient for over 20 years, friendly staff, best dental work you can ask for. I highly recommend him.

I've been a patient for over 10 years and all the staff has ALWAYS been VERY polite and nice. Dr. Maqsoud is SUPER professional and always makes me feel very comfortable. read more

Come visit this office and you will only experience the smiles , friendly staff, awesome Dr Alaa whose face is always smiling, giggling and his work is super amazing .its a healthy environment to be around for sure . read more

How in the world am I the first to YELP this awesome dentist?! Unreal. Okay so here's the story morning glory. I, like most of you I'm sure, am not fond of going to the dentist. I mean really, what's to like about it? You get poked & prodded and scraped and sometimes even bitched at for lack of doing this or that. Bah. Also, I'm sure like most of you, I had over the years had the HARDEST time finding a dentist I liked. Either you don't have insurance & you can go to ANYONE yet you can't afford to or you DO have insurance & are limited to a couple of lame choices. Look no further!!! I'd had it with my last dentist & his shabby dirty office, as well as his mood swings and most of all his non English speaking staff (yes, ALL of them. I mean WTF? How do you expect me to make an appt. when no one understands me?) But I digress... I decided to make a bulletin on myspace asking every friend I had for their recs when my insurance changed, since picking one out of the provider booklet is ridiculously aggravating. As luck would have it, an old friend recommended his dentist... Dr. "Max". He said he was gentle, nice, close by blah blah blah. It was the fact he'd been going to him for the last 15 YEARS though that made me curious. I love this guy! Really, how often do you hear someone tell you they LOVE their dentist? :) I've been three times so far & each visit is better than the last. Dr. Maqsoud TRULY cares about each person that sits in that chair. He has a heart of gold, the patience of a saint, and the most gentle technique. You guys... I actually LIKED getting two fillings the other day! Yes, I swear. It was so easy! I would have gone back the next day if they'd said they forgot to do one. Oh and on that note, that's another cool thing about him. He doesn't lie. I'd been told I had like 20 cavities by last dentist, who was obviously just trying to swindle me for money. Dr. Max showed me on the computer screen that sits in front of the chair (which you can watch tv or movies on while they work YAY!) that I only had four!! Also when I went to pay for my fillings (white composite, not mercury) I paid MUCH LESS than I had at the last dentist. I asked why & she asked what they'd charged me at the other place. Again, I'd been swindled! That last dentist office was the equivelent of a mechanic who tells you there's things wrong with car that really aren't, knowing you won't know the difference. Bastard! I almost forgot to add that the teeth cleanings are just as easy & gentle as the fillings. His nurse does them & she's a doll :) She gives you headphones to watch the tv in front of you or listen to music. She's totally quick & you're not left feeling like your mouth has been raped. I finally am willing to go twice a year as I'm supposed to, instead of accidentally "forgetting"! To sum up... nice clean office, great staff, comfy chairs, computers to see your xrays right in front of you, tv & music, gentle technique. Please give Dr. Max a try... I promise you won't be sorry! read more
