A very happy customer. read more

Always so amazing here! From the staff the moment you walk in to Dr. Ibarra. They bring a different type of comforting care which is why i continue to come back. Always diligent and attentive. Thank you so much always! read more

I went for a cleaning and one of the dentists who work there damaged my tooth, I went to appointments and they couldn't find a problem, until they decided to do a root canal. The doctor didn't face me, he just told me with his secretary what I should do, they left me with a white paste and so I still can't eat on that side Be careful with the procedures that they do there. read more

I had an appointment at 11 am and they dont pass be till after an hour . I have things to do what is the point of an appointment if they do not pass u at the given time. Ridiculous read more

Amazing doctor, one of a kind and thinks outside the box very well. Well composed and handles everything smoothly. Very comforting and gives options to treatment approach. Professional at its best. Highly recommend this clinic read more

I can't praise Dr. Ibarra and his staff enough. This is what 40 years of experience will do. I came in for a wisdom tooth extraction. I didn't feel the shot nor the extraction. The next thing I knew the tooth was out and I was on my way out. The staff is welcoming and very kind. Recommending this Dr. to everyone. Thank you ! read more

Dr Ibarra did wonderful work on my smile. He crowned several teeth on my uppers and lowers. I had quite an under-bite and crooked teeth on my lowers. He did such a wonderful job that I have been getting compliments on my teeth for years.... from other dentists. I have moved three times in as many years and each dentist asks me who did my work. They were all very impressed with the quality of Dr Ibarra's work. I am sad to see that he is under appreciated by some of his patients, but it is fairly obvious that they are not giving him a fair shake. I have never (not in over 60 years) ever received compliments from other dentists about another's work. Dr Ibarra is worthy of praise and respect, and I would not give any credence to his detractors. read more

Dr Ibarra's office was great. The staff was professional,kind and very helpful. They go the extra mile to improve your smile. I would recommend Dr Ibarra to friends and family. You won't be disappointed, thank you Dr Ibarra, read more

100% best experience so far at a dentist . I explained I had anxiety really bad with dentist, and he so number me sooooo good, two teeth pulled in a matter of no time. Great great great customer service!!! Gentle. read more

See all

This is the worst most shady dentist office I've ever been to. During my first visit, I had to wait an hour for my x ray results. Why does that take an hour? They had then claimed I had 10 cavities and that I had to replace my crown because it was "bad". Mind you I do regular yearly check ups. So all that work seemed extreme. But my insurance was about to expire so I just said whatever let's do it. This is where things went from bad to worse. The lack of communication is mind boggling bad. They had claimed to have filled 4 cavities on my first visit. And I had to tell them no they didn't they only did 2. On my next visit I had to redo my crown, it took an hour for the dentist to see me. WHY ARE YOU OVERBOOKING. Whats the point in making appts. if you aren't going to see them at the time you make it. Waste of time. During this visit, they had also somehow cracked my filling. They told me they will fill it, but didn't, they only gave me a temporary crown. So a week goes by and my temporary​ crown fell out and I had a gap where a filling is supposed to be. So then on my next SCHEDULED visit they had told me the dentist wasn't there, that there weren't any scheduled appts for the day. How do they not write this shit down, unorganized, I had the card and everything that it was my appt day. So now I had to wait another week to see the dentist, with a missing crown and a missing filling. I told them on my next visit just give me the crown and fill in the gap and the assistant desk lady looked at me weird. They didn't write down that they broke my filling. WHERES THE COMMUNICATION. I get all that done on last and final visit the following week and I then end up going to a different dentist (Huntington smiles, awesome dentist btw) for a second opinion to see if I still needed to fill in the rest of the cavities. They told me all my teeth were fine. I really wholeheartedly hate this unorganized shady place. Just a shitty experience. read more

If you're into bad dentistry, this is it! Look no further! I had to have almost everything re done, and then some. Had to have a molar extracted because they did a lousy job and now have to get an implant or a bridge. read more

THIS PRACTICE IS A SCAM! Beware. I went there in December 2019. I had a small cavity in one of my teeth. The lady dentist there told me I need to do a crown and that I cannot do a refill. I was shock then she told me we could leave it there and monitor it. LEAVE THE CAVITY THERE (I'm guessing until it gets worse and I'll do a crown there!) She also told me I had to do a deep cleaning (which I missed the appointment and never came back there. I doge a bullet because I will have to pay quite a bit out of pocket!) Crown is very expensive and she straight up suggested it instead of other solution. VERY SCAMMY. Everything she wanted me to do was all on the expensive side that is unnecessary. Later on, I went to a different dentist and he told me the cavity was very minimal and I could just do the filling which I did. DO NOT COME HERE. They will tell you things to get you to spend money. Every time I thought about it I get very mad. I could have LOST most of my tooth and put a crown on it when it was just fine. I wish I could sue them and at least get that lady dentist license removed! read more

I went to this office a few weeks ago for a routine check up and ended being told I need a root canal and some other $600 dollar job. In total their charging me $1800 out of pocket, my insurance doesn't cover these procedures and the cheaper procedure that my insurance does cover they don't recommend because according to them will lead to a second root canal in time, how convenient, something doesn't add up here, I'll be getting a second opinion and see who I can trust. read more

I love this place as much as you can love a dentist! They do an amazing job! Quick friendly as painless as possible! I have gone to them in tears of pain and walked out smiling!! Recommend to everyone! read more

I'm no longer scared of the dentist thanks to Dr. Ibarra. I've had some bad experiences with other dentist & dread my visits. I was referred to Dr. Ibarra by a friend. Not only was my visit painless but quick. He shared some tips to help with my teeth sensitivity. The staff was friendly as well. Happy to share I no longer dread future appointments & referred my friends & family to visit Dr. Ibarra . read more

By far the best dentist ever. Super honest and very professional. I went in and then I started taking my kids in because other dentist would always be in a hurry and very rude. My kids and I love this place read more

This office is going through a huge renovation. I have had my fair share of dental offices and this is the only place that has reasonable pricing with great quality doctors especially dr. Moezzi read more

Dr. Arturo is simply the best! He is such a happy and kind person. He is very knowledgeable and patient! Best doctor ever!

yelp Saved me $1,500.00 co-payment!! This dentist office is a fraud!!! While waiting in the waiting area I yelped reviews and yuppp it's exactly how ppl describe it. I nearly tripped trying to run out of this place! read more

By Far The Best Dentist I've Been To. My Tooth Was Killing Me For Weeks I Was Soo Scared Of The Dentist, I Was Reccomended To Dr.Ibarra By A Friend So I Worked Up The Courage To Make An Appointment. I Was Greeted By The Receptionist i Let her Know I Was Kinda Scared and She Assured Me I Had Nothing. To Worry About As I Was Called The Staff Was Soo Nice made me feel right at home. Ended up needing an extraction. Let Me Tell You Dr. ibarra Has The best Hand I Didnt Feel The Needle After he instructed me to take a Deep Breath. And I Kid You Not He Had My Tooth In His Hands In 5 Minutes! I Highly Recommend Dr. Ibarra To Anyone Who Needs To See A Dentist from children to Adults!! Great Placee 10 Stars lol read more

DR. IBARRA - I'm very disappointed with this dentistry, I wouldn't recommend your dental clinic to nobody. Took my son there for Ortho and the job was incomplete, they referred me to another specialist and they ended up charging me $700 dollars more. They did this to a lot of the patients and they wouldn't assume there responsibility. NOW we have to pay EXTRA so they could finish the treatment. This is the WORST dentist clinic ever... I wouldn't recommend this clinic to nobody, very dishonest place. read more

This was a very uncomfortable and irritating experience for me. Ok for starters the receptionist weren't as inviting as I feel they should be to a first comer. The whole office itself looks very dingy and the equipment looks unsanitary, old and not up to date. After they gave me X-rays they seated me into my room. A guy came in to which I assume was the dentist but I wouldn't know because he didn't even introduce himself he just started giving me orders. So now I don't know this man that's examining my mouth. I get that the area is predominantly Hispanic but to speak Spanish in front of me to his assistant while examining me is unethical and unprofessional. Once he finished he told me "You have quite a bit of cavities." And said someone would come back and give me my options. He didn't elaborate or go over my x-rays as if I should just take his word for it mind u I don't even know who this guy is because he never made a introduction. Then this lady with a thick folder comes in and starts slamming huge finances on me for fill-ins. That's same day I changed my dentist. Hope this review benefits you, sorry for writing a novel. read more

The only reason I a gave this charlatan a star is because I could not post with out an entry. This office deserves no stars at all. This man is a fraud and a crook. The reason I say this is because I scheduled an appointment to meet with him for a condition they call TMJ. Upon arriving at his office I was told that he was out of town on an emergency but that I could meet with another dentist. They said I had to be x-rayed first. They charged me $50.00 and proceeded with the X-rays. I then met with the dentist at hand and was told by him that their office did not treat TMJ. He suggested that I go to the USC or UCLA school of dentistry which specialized in treating TMJ. Upon my protestations he summoned the office manager who told me that Dr. Ibarra had just left town on an emergency and would not return for a week and a half. She changed the story later saying she was not sure when he would ever be back. As soon as he did, she said, they would provide TMJ services. What she offered me were pain pills as a remedy. I left the office angrily because I had been swindled. I then received a call three days later stating that he was back and that I could see him. Given the lies and pain that I endured from his staff I would never go to see him or his staff again. read more

Was in downtown LA, had to have a molar removed, called a day prior, they gave me an expedited appointment the next day. While there, I didn't have to wait long and Dr. Ibarra came in, swiftly removed the molar (it was so quick, I said "is that it"), and he smiled and joked that it actually took a while. Gifted hands, was able to go to the office the next day with very little swelling. friendly service. If you live in DTLA or surrounding areas, this is the best dentist around. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS HELL HOLE!!! Lets start with the basics --I was a new patient, the victim of an automatic assignment of a random dentist thanks to my insurance provider. I did my research on this dentist and was turned off by the reviews. But I tried it anyway and approached it with a positive perspective because it could be a diamond in the rough. Boy was I wrong!!!!! I was not greeted by the receptionist, they were too busy gossiping away with their acrylic nails and chola co workers. She calls me up and gives me attitude about my previous dentist. I admit, it's been a while and could not recall my dentist name or location. She kept bantering me in a childish manner: Her: I need to know your last dentist name and number Me: I'm sorry, I really don't recall. Her: well you're going to have to remember it Me: it was a long while ago, I really can't recall the name of the- Her: well I need it Me: I understand, but I can't remember and my insurance- Her: ok but I need it. So damn unprofessional. I filled out those forms where I noted I have a latex allergy. Then they call me in for X-rays. The "dental assistant" who did them put on...you guessed it...latex gloves. I started sneezing and developed slight redness to my mouth. I ask her to not use latex and she said "aye ok" but kept on. She only spoke Spanish, and couldn't understand what I was saying. Then someone else came in and interpreted the x-rays. He said I needed two root canals, two cavities filled, and that the total cost would be over 2000 for porcelain fillings. They were attempting to gouge me, since I know porcelain fillings are the most expensive alternative. No other options were presented. They did say they have a payment plan. BTW none of the staff wore ID badges so I am unsure of who anyone was. I got the hell out of there. I would later call my insurance provider and complain about the horrible services. I was switched to an actual dentist, closer to my house, and was seen the following month. The results? Only needed an inlay due to a cavity underneath an old filling. She disagreed about the two root canals and couldn't locate this other second cavity. Listen to these reviews people!!!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!! NOT WORTH THE MENTAL ANGUISH!!! read more

Dr Ibarra and his Staff are courteous and professional. The office waiting area, patient rooms, back office and restroom facilities are impecable. There is a wait, but keep in mind he is only at the East LA location once a week, and he is a perfectionist and does quality work. read more

i went for a filling and endend up with a unnecesary root canal. very dishonest doctor. be careful

I went here with my dental insurance ( California Dental 595 ) which by the way is a very good insurance plan, co-payments are affordable $140 for Root canal molar D3330, post and crown D2954 $35 and D2751 $156 total $331 is the total price of my co-payments out of pocket expense for me, the insurance covers the rest, so why the hell was the person behind the desk charging me $1000 out of pocket for a $331 dollar job which by the way I confirmed with a California Dental representative, either the Doctors are in on it with her or it's her own little scam, but this person shouldn't be working there and people need to be fired or resign it's a fraudulent dental office, I've filed a grievance against this office with the dental insurance company because they tried to rip me off and still charge the insurance company plus an extra $669 from me which is unethical, if the dentists who work there are not aware of this please do something about it, this lady shouldn't be trying to extort money from me or anyone else the dental co-payments are set for a reason and no one should be taken advantage of, I always double check and do my homework, I'm glad I cancelled my appointment and I'll be requesting another primary dental office that will charge me the correct amount not $1000 dollars, you guys just lost a good patient/customer, now I know why that place is always empty no one wants to deal with lying thieves, I can't believe you guys are still in business shame on you all, what your office is doing is illegal sooner or later your illegal practices will catch up to you. If any of you reading this are into getting ripped off and over paying even with good insurance with low co-payments this is the office to visit they'll take an arm a leg and the shirt off your back, these ppl are 100% SCAMMERS. This review has been up a few weeks now, I wonder why the good doctor hasn't made a counter comment about how wrong I am or whatever, yup he's in on the scam. read more
