Spent nearly $20k with Crispin on dental work. His office started to refuse to book cleanings with me if I didn't get updated X-Rays after a couple years - they wouldn't accept recent X-rays from my other dentist in NYC (where i live 1/2 time). I've just received a mystery bill for $227 with no detail. Looking forward to finding what this is for. read more

Dr Crispin required me to pay $881 in advance for models of my mouth and digital prints, just for him to be able to put together a treatment plan with estimate. He never provided an estimate. Instead, he rudely turned me away on the day of the appointment we had scheduled to discuss the treatment plan. He claimed that he didn't have enough time. When I was driving away I saw him standing by the garage door, doing absolutely nothing. I also noticed he had difficulty reading during my 1st appointment, therefore he doesn't have a sharp sight to be practicing. NOW HE'S HOLDING MOST OF MY MONEY. I gave him plenty of time to get back to me but he's ignoring me. I also spent $200 at a periodontist he recommended, which led to absolute no treatment due to Dr Crispin's behavior. DON'T TRUST THIS DENTIST. He was nice during my free 1st consultation. Afterwards, I was just a dollar sign. He sent me the print of his "treatment", claiming that's what I paid for. I can't do anything with it. All it tells me is that he turned me away bc he never had a treatment plan. read more

Bruce J Crispin, DDS MS - General Dentistry Near Me - Tarzana, California

Hi, about a week ago I chipped a tooth on the lower left side. I emailed Esthetic Prof. regarding my chipped tooth. I received an email response that I should call the office on Mon-5/11/20.No one picked up. Later in the day on Mon I did receive a return phone call back from Dr. Crispin's office. The woman made all kind of excuses--that they were short staffed. She gave me her cell phone#, but at this point in time, I do not want to return to Dr. Crispin's office to have any dental work done. In my original email I asked if the office accepts Delta Dental insurance. Have been unable to get an answer regarding my dental insurance. When I had work done at Dr. Bruce Crispin's office, I was barely out of the patient room and a bill would be presented to me by Marbely. I was then expected to pay in full upfront. Some of the bills were quite expensive such as $1200, $800,etc. Sometimes they would bring a credit card machine right into the patient room and take care of the bill right then and there. Appearance wise, it made their office look like they were hurting for cash. My regular dentist does take Delta Dental insurance and will mail me the bill which I always pay promptly. Esthetic Prof gives lousy service and poor quality dental work read more

They don't abide by the insurance rates. Always like to charge more. The sad part dentists must be taught to not be accountable. They need oversight. read more

Let me start by expressing my most sincere appreciation to Dr. Crispin, Dr. Kristi and the entire team of happy and helpful individuals at Esthetic Professionals. I came to Esthetic Professionals after finding an ad in the Valley Scene. I had been struggling with my dental insurance, shoddy dental work and ridiculous prices. After a few attempts to get a same day consultation for the summer resident student program, I finally got the green light to have an exam. Dr. Crispin was so straightforward and showed a true interest in helping me restore my smile. With only 3 weeks left of the program Dr. Crispin said he could fit me in to the program and told me that I "hit the jackpot"! He was SO RIGHT!! Dr. Crispin's guidance and hands on teaching to the Residents was impressive. I watched and listened to the way he communicated and worked alongside the class. The resident doctor who finished up my work (I cannot remember her name, Shiva?, her last name ends in "...dian") was so patient, kind and gentle. Marbley was most efficient and I could go on! Dr. Crispin and his team are committed to excellence and it shows! I am so happy and completely satisfied with the work on my teeth. The prices were reasonable and fair. Thank you! I can't wait to finish up the work. I recently saw the program is ready to begin again and I plan to be on top of the list. read more

Dr Crispin does extraordinary work. I could not be more impressed and thank full. His attention to detail and the pride he shows in his work makes him not only an artist but an true professional. I researched several doctors and so glad I selected him. His staff is well trained and provide great service. For someone like me who doesn't like to recommend doctors. I would recommend and refer anyone, even the most discerning, to Dr Crispin. Paul D. read more

Totally agree with Chris K. I think these good reviews are plants. Maybe his lawyer. He doesn't stand behind his work. He over charges for everything. He only cares about profit and his toys Teeth fell out. Damage not repaired. Placement of posts put in incorrectly Two Front Teeth he decided to put in my mouth were too big. Subsequently they broke the post. If you have cash to burn and want to get the soft sell con job. Go right ahead. He overcharges his students as well who are desperate to get qualified He's just a bad dentist. Who tried to lead people to believe he's brilliant. He got kicked out of UCLA. SO MAD. $$$$$$$ That's all. No care. read more

I have been searching for the right dentist and I've found him in Bruce Crispin! I love the office, the staff, the convenience and so much more. Dr. Crispin is very knowledgeable and has a wonderful way with patients. I'm very happy now and soon my smile will be too. Highly recommend! read more

Got a flyer to my home came in for a consultation what a amazing dr. Super patient and nice. They give you a tour of the place in house lab as well. Also a family friend recommended this place. read more

Dr. Crispin is the best! I have been his patient for 13 years and would not go anywhere else. He is the most amazing dentist, a world renowned specialist in reconstructive and esthetic dentistry, and at the same time a very caring and kind person. His facility, Esthetic Professionals, offers a fantastic service with utmost professionalism. Everyone in the office is super nice and friendly, and I am always treated as family there. The state-of-the-art offices contain a lab where the crowns and veneers are made with unsurpassed quality. My upper teeth were badly worn out after years of grinding them in sleep. I also wore braces as an adult for several years in order to correct a bite misalignment. Until I came to Dr. Crispin, every dentist I went to was telling me that I had to have corrective jaw surgery. Dr. Crispin not only corrected the misalignment in the bite by crowning my upper teeth, but also made my smile beautiful. I get compliments on my perfect beautiful teeth and smile everywhere I go. Dr. Crispin also made three bridges to replace the teeth extracted while I was a kid. They all function and look great. Dr. Kristi Crispin also works in the office, is a superb dentist on her own, and is extremely nice and friendly. Renee is the most friendly, fun, and masterful hygienist. She cleans my teeth perfectly every time. And Claudia at the front desk is always nice and helpful with anything. The entire staff is extremely caring, kind, and professional. They even send me a Christmas card every year. I am very grateful to them all for having beautiful, healthy teeth. read more

Dr. Bruce Crispin and Dr. Kristi (father & daughter team) are the most amazing dentists ever! They are so good that they actually have classes to teach other dentists their techniques in all areas. Yes, their fees are a little higher. But as the old saying goes, "You get what you pay for!" I'm frequently stopped and told that I have a great smile and beautiful teeth! Now, that's a true testimonial. They do it all...from Restorations, correction, crowns, root canals, etc. Their office is state of the art and a must see. I cannot recommend them high enough! read more

Every 4 months I gladly drive all the way from the city to Tarzana to have my teeth cleaning by Renee. She's the best! Renee is thorough, meticulous, and truly cares about me and my teeth. Dr. Bruce, Dr. Kristi, and the entire office staff are as professional and kind as can be. read more

I'm 73 and have had a lot of dentists over that span of years. I have to admit that my experience with Dr. Bruce Krispin, his daughter Kristi and the entire office staff was, at least for me, about as good as it gets. Going to the dentist is one of those experiences I rate up there with moving, or starting a new job. I'm pretty much a dental chair coward but all my anxieties slowly dissipated as Dr. Krispin talked to me about the condition of my teeth and what needed to be done. I got this feeling that I was with someone who really cared. The office staff are also incredible. read more

I went to Dr. Kristi who replaced all my silver and then did esthetic work on my teeth. She suggested that I have my gums repaired which made such a difference in my smile. Her work is maticulous and the kindness and painless dentistry she practices made it comfortable to go through the process. I have recommended her to everyone who compliments my smile. Dentists come from all over the US to be trained by her! The office has on staff "artists" who create anything and everything you need on the premises so you don't wait long for things such as retainers or a veneer. If you want a perfect smile, go today! You will be so happy with the results! read more

I was diagnosed with TMJ in the early 70ies. Since then, I have spent countless hours in the dental chair and thousands of dollars, worn every kind of night guard and dental appliance possible, while living in New York City, Chicago, Sacramento, and finally in Los Angeles, without ever having the problem solved-- until my local dentist recommended Dr. Bruce Crispin. His expertise as orthodontist, assisted by the (yes!) state of the art equipment at his facility, Esthetic Professionals, and his very knowledgeable and friendly staff are unsurpassed. He is not only the best dentist ever; he is also a warm, fun and caring person. I now have perfectly and beautifully reconstructed teeth, a balanced occlusion, and, after some 40 years of suffering, I'm pain-free, with a big smile! read more

The best staff, NEVER a wait, and the best care in the business. Dr. Crispin is the one who has probably trained the dentist you are currently going to. I have been going to him for 30 years and would not go to anyone else. read more

I've been thinking of how to word my feelings about both Dr.Kristi and her Dad. Along with, the great team of doctors, associates and team members. Everyone has been so helpful with getting my appointment's schedule, to both Dr. Kristi and her Dad, Bruce. Who both over looks the work of each doctor, stepping in when they see what could be a potential problem...and explain each of the the steps. It's just wonderful how they teach they're students.( great confidence booster). Explaining the procedures with me and the doctors. I don't mind at all that my procedures can take a little extra time. Cause everyone they're demonstrate patience and care in the work, that they do. So that I know when the work is finish, I'm leaving with the biggest smile and confidence...then what I came in with. I'm extremely happy with the trust that they've shown me. The office's, labs, and dental chair areas are kept at a high standard cleanliness. I'm also pleased that they talk with you through each step...and show the care in what your saying. It's a very friendly atmosphere. They even give you the remote to the TV...lol. When your in the waiting area go ahead and make yourself a cup of coffee or tea. Thank you - All in taking awesome good care of me. read more

Crispin must be paying these other reviewers - the work is awful. I spent a fortune for a complete restoration and all the work has had to be redone. Some of the teeth he worked on actually fell out. He is too busy with his own ego to care about your teeth!!! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Crispin for well over 10 years now. In my opinion, I think Dr. Crispin is by far the best dentist in town. He is exceptionally skilled, extremely meticulous, highly ethical, immensely empathetic of his patients' comfort, and has the unique ability to turn the normally dreadful dental experience into one that is not only tolerable but oddly enough pleasant - and dare I say enjoyable. His entire staff is equally amazing. As far as some previous reviews complaining about his fees, I can honestly say, I've utilized numerous dentists over the years that had half the skill set of Dr. Crispin and yet charged twice as much. Overall, the level of experience and quality Dr. Crispin brings to his craft more than justifies what he charges for his services. Additionally, in all the years I've been seeing him, he has never tried to upsell me - not once. In fact, he always opts for a sensible incremental approach to all procedures. Moreover, if a particular procedure turns out to require further work, he almost always will pro rate the new work to take into account what was already paid for the recent previous work. Most importantly, his work always stands the test of time. Dr. Crispin's temporary crowns are usually of higher quality than a lot of other dentist's permanent restorative work. So if you're looking for a dentist who provides extremely high quality results at a great value, I suggest you look no further than Dr. Bruce Crispin and the rest of his staff at Esthetic Professionals. read more

Esthetic Professionals, are just that, the best professionals I have ever had to deal with in dentistry. I'm sorry that I had to experience the worst before I found the best. The team has been exceptional. Please don't do what I did, check them first, you will be glad AND excited with the results. I can't hold my peace, I tell everyone, yes, it's worth the drive from LA, or whatever you are coming from around the city. Your smile should be priceless. They are fair, and no nonsense. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Bruce Crispin for over twenty years. I almost always have some hesitation in recommending any professional outside of my own (non-medical) profession (and even then I worry), but I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Crispin (as well as Dr. Kristi Crispin). He is highly skilled, which is evidenced by the number of his former students/now dentists from UCLA Dental School who see him as their personal dentist, from his thriving continuing education business for dentists, and from the care that he has provided to me. I also appreciate the fact that Dr. Crispin has many long-term employees, which also speaks well of his skill and business practices. One funny story that tells a little about him: years ago, Dr. Crispin was expressing some concern to me about the shade of a crown he was going to put in. Because of his comment, I pointed to a crown done by a former dentist, asked Dr. Crispin whether it was going to look like that, and he shot back "I would never do anything that bad." Once he put that crown in, I was unable to tell why he was concerned about matching the color to my other teeth. In short, he sets high standards of practice, and thankfully those standards have carried onto the next generation of his family as well. read more
