We were very kindly and patiently assisted by Emily who made me feel so at ease from the start with scheduling appointments and answering all my questions. Taylor and Ashley were so patient and respectful when assisting and coordinating the financial portion of our treatment and answering all questions. My children were both extremely nervous, but were quickly put at ease by Dr. Elias and his excellent bedside manners and calm demeanor, at their consultations. On surgery day and for post opp appointments, both our teenagers were treated and assisted with such personal care, patience, respect, and extreme kindness by Dyanne, Louis, Laura, Michael, Emily, Diane, and Dr. Elias. They went above and beyond making sure that our children were cared for, were safe, and never rushed the procedure or appointments. The follow up appointments were very helpful and reassuring to ensure that our children were following post care instructions and healing properly. It was a pleasure and great comfort, as a mom to teenagers, to have used SoCal Surgical Arts for our children's surgeries!

This is a long one, so strap in! For anyone who wants the highlights: I wasn't briefed on…read moreanesthetic, I 'woke up' during the procedure, it gave me nerve damage, and I was summarily and condescendingly dismissed. Dr. Farnad performed wisdom teeth extraction on me (all four) at my dentist's office and I can say with complete confidence it was the worst dental/medical experience I've ever been through. From minutes before the procedure to now weeks later it has been nothing short of traumatic. However, I have been reassured that my experience is 'completely normal' for this doctor, so I figured it would be in the best interest of anyone who wants to know that I share a little of what you might be in for! Before going into the exam room I was given multiple pages to fill out and sign, with the anesthetic portion left blank, I let the receptionist know that no one has discussed this with me so I didn't know what to write. She let me know that they would give me the full run-down when I got in with the doctor. Reader, this did not happen, sorry to say. I got into the room and within minutes monitors were placed and an IV needle was inserted into my arm. I'm not good with needles so I looked away when Dr. Farnad inserted the IV, and subsequently pushed whatever medicine it was that he gave me. Again, I want to stress, I had no idea whatsoever what was going to happen to me, so imagine my surprise when I WOKE UP in the middle of the operation. I learned later that I was given IV sedation, so I was never 'all the way out' but wherever I had gone during the first half of the extraction, I was definitely back. I remember every part of it: my hysterical sobbing, Dr. Farnad telling me to stop fighting him or it would take four hours, the male assistant brought in to hold my head still, my apologizing for fighting but 'it hurts so bad', then him giving me another shot in my mouth as he continued to have to break apart one of my wisdom teeth. At no point was it acknowledged that I was most definitely back in the room with them until afterward the assistant said, "huh, so THAT'S oral surgery," and when I responded saying that was an insane thing to announce to a patient, he commented to the other assistant "I'm surprised she's so alert," to which she said "Yeah, but she'll be out again as soon as she's in the car." Reader, again I have to inform you that this did not happen. Now we're weeks out from the surgery, and I'm experiencing absolutely mind blowing levels of nerve irritation in my chin. I went back in to speak with my dentist who let me know that it sounded like nerve damage, between the numbness and the painful tingling. (Note: the dentist brought up the nerve damage, not me.) Today I had the displeasure of going to a follow up with Dr. Farnad who showed up for our appointment an HOUR late. When I brought up the potential nerve damage he immediately dismissed me with a condescending "Oh so you let the internet scare you." Then he let me know that this kind of numbness and nerve pain was so common with his patients, he sees it all the time, and that the pain and numbness will be gone within the next two and a half months. He then asked the assistant for x-rays to see how it looked internally. This was when I really began to question his competence, because while looking at my x-ray he said: a) he left a cap in to not disturb the nerve, b) did not leave a cap in, he left a bunch of room for the nerve, c) was unable to tell if he had done a bone graft for me, and asked if I had paid for one to settle the matter. He then gave me his personal phone number and encouraged me to stay off the internet, because it's only going to scare me. Well sorry, I went back on the internet.

I absolutely hate the freezing part because 1) I can't stand needles, and 2) I don't like that numb-face feeling. But Dr. Hirasawa is incredible--I don't even feel the needle, and the numbness wears off so quickly! Allyson, the dental assistant, is fantastic! She got me settled in the chair with a super cozy blanket and asked me what was new in my life. She knew my fear of needles and had the suction ready so perfectly that I never once gagged--seriously, it's like magic. She's gentle, on top of everything, and makes the whole experience so much easier. Thank you, Allyson! This office is the best--you'll actually look forward to going to the dentist!

I had a very disappointing experience at Healthy Smiles Dental in Sherman Oaks and would strongly…read moreadvise others to proceed with caution. Before my appointment, no one reviewed or explained the charges for my deep cleaning. I have dual PPO insurance, and I know deep cleanings are covered, yet I was still charged a significant out-of-pocket amount. I was never informed that a laser would be used, nor that it would be an additional charge per quadrant. I assumed it was part of the standard procedure. This was never discussed or consented to prior to treatment. Even more concerning, my son and I were separated and taken to different rooms, and they proceeded to do multiple fillings on my son without ever informing me how many were needed or asking for my consent. No one came to explain the treatment plan before starting, during my own procedure, or afterward. As a parent, this is completely unacceptable. At no point was I given a clear treatment plan or cost breakdown for either of us. Despite having dual insurance coverage, I was still charged $621 out of pocket. When I asked for an itemized receipt, I was told they could not provide one, which is a huge red flag. This office feels extremely money-driven, with poor communication and questionable consent practices. I truly regret not paying closer attention to the reviews before booking here. Transparency, consent, and trust are critical in healthcare--and this office failed on all three. Please avoid this place and protect yourself and your family.

If you are going to need a tooth extracted, an implant or root canal this is the place to come…read more Unfortunately, my daughter inherited my genes...a small jaw that just wasn't interested in sharing any space. The squatters had to go, AKA - wisdom teeth...If we didn't extract them they would cause utter chaos to the rest of the permanent teeth. Dr. Lokot was very thorough in explaining the process and was easy to talk to. The consult included X-rays for $235. (it is not deducted from your procedure) We scheduled the oral surgery a week after the consult with Natalie. Again, she explained what to expect and the instructions before the surgery. Let me tell you, everyone here is SUPER NICE!!! They made this entire procedure so much easier. They asked us to arrive 15 mins before the surgery. Ella was done in 30 mins and ready to go home 30 mins later. (60 mins total) Susie, one of the surgical nurses gave us after care instructions, more gauze and the ice pack that went around her head. Natalie gave me the prescriptions for antibiotics, pain management and ibuprofen which I filled downstairs at the pharmacy while Ella was under sedation. By the time we got home Ella was feeling okay with little discomfort. By the evening she was pretty much herself. Woo hoo! She does have to eat soft foods and care for her incisions for the next week or so but I am very pleased with the overall outcome. Thank you to Dr. Lokot, Natalie, Cindy, Susie, Jessica and the rest of the staff. We appreciated your kindness. *Dr. Lokot called tonight to see how Ella was doing ! Who does that any more???! *Parking lot - they validate *Pharmacy in the same complex *They take Credit/Debit or checks. *They ask you to fill out paper work online before your initial consult. This saves a lot of time for both parties. *They do accept Dental Insurance if you have it. We don't since it's not cost effective for our needs.
