    Dr. Dardashti is one of the kindest humans not to mention be a fantastic doctor. I have two baby teeth that never had permanent teeth underneath and the first one started resorbing a few years ago. He did a beautiful job with the extraction, the implant, and the crown. We moved out of the city and just recently my second baby tooth started to do the same. He's so good that I'm driving into LA for the multiple visits required for the whole process just because he's that good! He is incredibly thorough, kind, knowledgeable, confident, and explains everything in such a comforting and reassuring manner. He also just redid his office space and it is so calming and luxurious, just the beautiful cherry on top for an already great experience!

    I was SO relaxed, I nearly fell asleep! 😀👍

    Dardashti did all three in one sitting the same day, while being extremely attentive to all of his patients.

    I had a fantastic experience at Blue Pearl Dentistry. From the moment I walked in, the entire…read moreteam--the front desk staff, dental technicians, hygienist, and Dr. Huang--was incredibly friendly, personable, and genuinely caring. What really set them apart for me was their willingness to take their time and explain everything. Understanding the "why" behind my dental health is so important to me, and their thorough explanations gave me the exact motivation I needed to follow through with my care. The office is equipped with the latest technology, which made the visit seamless. Best of all, I never felt rushed or pressured; there was absolutely no upselling. They truly took the time to learn what was important to me as a patient. I highly recommend Dr. Huang and the wonderful team here!

    NGL, it's worth the hype here…read more Good dentists are really hard to find. Sometimes when you're on Yelp, you'll see a dentist with 300 five star reviews, but then you'll see 10 or so one star reviews and you wonder what is going on. It really is hard to find an actual good dentist absent a personal recommendation. Blue Pearl (and Dr. Amna Hussain) were absolutely fantastic. They use really cutting edge tech to x-ray, photograph and diagnose. The pain of visiting the dentist is actually gone. Dr. Amna made it a point to vocalize everything she was about to do and why, which was cool and calming. The entire visit wasn't expensive at all (no insurance here) and Dr Amna made it a point to take the entire process I'm involved in slowly so we can take the proper course, which was appreciated. Overall, great visit. If I were to make the most minor of complaints, maybe there are too many text messages prior to visit, but I think that's a ZocDoc thing and my own thing about getting too many messages.

    Once again, my experience at Forever Smile Dental Care was EXCELLENT!!! Everyone lives up to the…read morename, caring! I've been with Dr. Shelyan for decades! There's none else I would entrust for my dental care. He doesn't just see me as a patient, but a friend! I recently went through a treatment called EMFace which is for TMJ relief. The initial treatment lasted for 6 weeks and I must say it was definitely worth it. It's geared to retrain the muscles within the facial area where TMJ occurs. Well, let me tell you, the treatments work. During the 20 min session, you're relaxed and by the 4th treatment I could tell the difference. Overall, I'm very pleased with the results and feel the difference. It was worth the experience!

    I've been a patient at Forever Smile since 2023, initially for Invisalign, and have always had…read moregreat experiences with Dr. Shelyan and the dental hygienists. Unfortunately, my most recent visit with the front office left me looking for a new dentist. I recently switched insurance and accidentally enrolled in a plan that Forever Smile doesn't accept. I apologized and acknowledged that it was my mistake, and said I would come back once I had insurance they accepted. The front office lady then told me it would be a $150 cancellation fee. As I was getting ready to pay the cancellation fee, she told me I could instead pay $180 out of pocket for the cleaning, which I agreed to. Once I got seated for my cleaning, the dental hygienist was getting ready to take my x-rays and I asked if that would cost extra since I'm paying out of pocket and I wanted the cheapest service. The hygienist checked with the front office and came back with a revised total of $145. I confirmed that amount, received my cleaning, paid $145, and left. As I was driving home, I received a text from the front office lady saying I had been charged the wrong amount and now owed an additional $35. I asked for an itemized receipt for both the $145 I paid and the new $180 total so I could understand the difference before paying. Instead, I was told they would only provide an itemized receipt after I paid the remaining balance. This did not sit well with me because, in our text conversation afterward, the front office lady said she had already removed certain services because she knew I wanted the cheapest option. However, when I was in the chair, the hygienist was preparing to take my x-rays until I specifically asked whether they would cost extra since I was paying out of pocket. That left me confused about what services had actually been included, what had been removed, and how the final amount had been determined. What bothered me most wasn't being asked to pay another $35. If there had been a genuine billing mistake, I would have paid it. What bothered me was being asked to pay more money while being refused an itemized receipt explaining why. Once I asked for the itemized receipts, it seemed the front office lady was no longer interested in pursuing the additional $35. I never received a response to my final message or any further follow-up regarding the additional balance. She also told me that no one other than her knew the office's fees. I found that unsettling and it further reduced my confidence in the billing process. As a customer, I don't think it's unreasonable to want to understand what I'm being charged for before making an additional payment. I also mentioned at the office that it would have been helpful if my insurance had been verified before my appointment since the office knew I had changed insurance and was returning because I had obtained new coverage. The front office lady replied that too many patients change insurance for them to verify everyone's coverage. While I understand they may not verify every patient's insurance in advance, it would have been a thoughtful gesture for a long-time customer in this specific circumstance. However, I realize it was my fault for getting the wrong insurance, which is why I was willing to accept the cancellation fee. Dr. Shelyan and the dental hygienists have always provided excellent care, and I appreciate the service they provided. My review is directed at the front office lady and how she handled the billing and customer service throughout this experience. The lack of transparency and communication ultimately caused me to lose confidence in the practice and look elsewhere for future dental care. I genuinely hope they improve this aspect of their business so it reflects the same level of care and professionalism that Dr. Shelyan and the dental hygienists provide.
