Ya, I agree with the other poster. Dr. Is rude- answers his own calls and is not nice over the phone (is irritable)

I'm happy I found Dr. Shadi when I needed to take care of my wisdom teeth, it was a complicated…read moreprocedure, a challenging one. They were impacted, little infected, one of them passed through the nerve and the other was very close, I was scared but thank God I was in good hands. Thanks to Dr. Shadi the surgery went very well, the recovery was good and positive, I have to say when you are in good hands is not as painful or bad as looks like :) I have my braces on and I can be more happy about it, he's amazing!!! 100% recommend if you want a qualified professional taking care of your mouth.

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Dr. Sam Vahedi and his entire office…read more I had a tooth that previously underwent a root canal and crown years ago, and out of nowhere it suddenly broke one day. I immediately saw my general dentist, who recommended that the tooth be extracted and replaced with an implant. As you can imagine, I was extremely nervous and anxious about the idea of oral surgery. I reached out to Dr. Sam Vahedi's office, and from the very first interaction, they were incredibly accommodating and professional. They understood the urgency of my situation and scheduled me promptly, which immediately helped put me at ease. The moment I walked into the office and met Dr. Vahedi, I felt calm and reassured. He has a very confident yet kind demeanor that instantly builds trust. They performed a CT scan, and Dr. Vahedi took the time to thoroughly explain exactly what was going on and what the plan would be. He explained that the first step would be extracting the broken tooth, which had three roots. During the procedure, he carefully numbed the area. There was only minimal discomfort with the numbing, and after that, I truly did not feel any pain at all. I could feel some pressure and hear some crunching, but there was absolutely no pain. Throughout the entire process, I felt completely confident in Dr. Vahedi's technical expertise and knowledge. It was clear that I was in very capable hands, and sure enough, he did a magnificent job. His assistant, Heidi, was also wonderful--very attentive, reassuring, and kind. I was so relaxed during the procedure that they actually thought I had fallen asleep! That alone speaks volumes about how comfortable and stress-free the experience was. I will be returning in several months for the next steps of my implant process, and I am extremely grateful that Dr. Sam Vahedi is my oral surgeon. If anyone ever asks me who they should see for oral surgery, extractions, or implants, I will unconditionally and enthusiastically recommend Dr. Vahedi. An outstanding experience from start to finish.

This was my first time visiting this dental office, and my overall first impression was amazing! The office is clean, modern, and welcoming, and the receptionists at the front desk were incredibly patient and friendly. The wait time was also very reasonable, which I really appreciate because that isn't always the case at dental offices. My dental hygienist for this visit was Xochitl, and she was SO knowledgeable. I learned so much from her about proper dental care, and she even pointed out something I didn't realize I had. She gave me so many helpful tips and tricks for TMJ, enamel care, and water flossing. She was also super funny and relatable, which made the whole experience feel comfortable and enjoyable. Dr. Patel conducted my exam, and she was extremely thorough and professional. I could genuinely tell that she took the time to carefully assess my dental health rather than rushing through the appointment. She explained everything clearly and gave me a detailed treatment plan, which left me feeling confident that I'm in good hands. They even offered to sanitize and clean my night guards as a courtesy! I also loved learning that this is a women-owned practice. There was something really special about the level of care and attention I received, and I could genuinely feel the difference in the quality of care. Everyone took their time, listened, and made me feel like my dental health was truly a priority. I'm genuinely so excited to come back. Thank you to the entire team for making what can sometimes be an intimidating experience feel so easy, thorough, and welcoming!

It's super modern, beautifully run, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful from the moment you walk in. The hygienists are wonderful -- so knowledgeable and thorough. They really take their time explaining everything so you leave with a clear understanding of how to best care for your teeth. Dr. Homyak is an absolute rock star. She is kind, positive, supportive, and incredibly communicative, with a calm and thoughtful presence that immediately puts you at ease. If you're someone who feels nervous about going to the dentist, this is the place to go. Her approach is truly virtually painless. She uses advanced techniques and thoughtful methods so you're completely comfortable throughout the entire process, even before any injections. It's honestly amazing. I actually go to my appointments ready to relax, which sounds crazy to say about a dental visit, but it's true. They have blankets, a calming environment, and everything is intentionally set up to make you feel comfortable and cared for. You never feel rushed or anxious. The practice also offers the best in modern dentistry, including same day crowns and inlays, and they bring in an outstanding specialist for root canals. Everyone is gentle, attentive, and truly cares about your comfort. My whole family now goes to Dr. Homyak, and I feel so grateful that we found her. I always leave happy and well taken care of. Five stars all the way.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Alexandre Aalam and his team. I recently experienced a…read moredental emergency, and Dr. Aalam went completely out of his way to help me. From the moment I contacted the office, he was incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely caring. What stood out most was the personal attention he provided. In a stressful situation, he made me feel like a priority and took the time to explain everything clearly while ensuring I received the care I needed as quickly as possible. His expertise and calm, reassuring manner immediately put me at ease. It's rare these days to find a specialist who combines such exceptional clinical skill with such a high level of personal service. I am extremely grateful for the help he provided and would recommend Dr. Aalam without hesitation to anyone in need of periodontal or implant care. Thank you, Dr. Aalam, for your professionalism, responsiveness, and kindness. It made all the difference.

Dr. Aalam has responded saying that "We take feedback from our patients' experience seriously..."…read more And concludes that he would have been happy to discuss the matter at the time. That completely misrepresents the facts. He could have easily called me the next day and cleared the air. I am not interested in publicly hurting a man's career. But this has been on my mind, that if he hurts someone, I will feel guilty that I did not share this information. NOTE THAT HE DOES NOT ACTUALLY DENY HIS YELLING AND SCREAMING. Instead, he says "Yelling or inappropriate communication of any kind does not align with the environment we strive to provide for our patients and team members." Of course, it does not align with an environment that anyone would "strive to provide." No professional office would openly "strive to provide "an environment where a customer/patient is treated like that. It happened. There was at least one staff member who witnessed it. Plus the screaming was so loud, people in the lobby could have easily heard it. The man completely lost control. I raised the concerns in person at the time. His response is that the concerns should have been raised at the time. They were raised at the time. I quietly raised the issue that I have already signed a contract and put down a deposit. He went into a screaming rage. Really screaming. This is hardly someone who is happy to discuss any issues. There were witnesses, at least one other staff member in the room. Then he left the room and came back minutes later, screaming again. Even with a break, he could not get under control. He came back and showed me a ridiculous interpretation that the contract said all services must be completed in 30 days. (Of course, it really said that I had 30 days to accept the contract. ) I pointed out that the services could never be completed in 30 days. He responded "But you never made a deposit". His own records show that I had made a deposit immediately. This is not a guy who is happy to discuss any issues. It is a man out of control. There was another issue. A faulty CT scan, which he told me was a reason for a delay. Delays is his big thing. So I went to UCLA Health to get another CT scan. His CT scan was wrong. I was charged approximately $250 for an incorrect CT scan. But mistakes like that are possible and understandable. It's the losing of his temper that is why I am writing this review. There were other people in the office that day. They all saw it. A man who can lose control like that must have done it other times. My concern is that anesthesia is part of his treatment. That is a serious health risk. A man who can lose his tempter...if that happens during anesthesia, you're in serious trouble. Again, I don't want to mess with a man's profession. But I would feel guilty if he hurt someone, and I had not shared this information. He should have calmed down and contacted me and this could have been cleared up.

I was referred to Dr. Boudreau through my dentist. To keep it simple for those who do not wish to…read moreread a lot, I will state up front that this review and rating are primarily for my (poor) experience with a receptionist I have since learned is no longer working at this facility due to her weak work ethic and lack of manners. Despite such an experience, I have attempted to adjust my star-rating to represent what I think of Dr. Boudreau outside of my experience, which overall is that he truly cares what his patients need and tries to make amends for any less than stellar experiences had. Dr. Boudreau takes the time to speak with you during your consultation without any sense of urgency for the clock ticking and with an obvious interest in considering all the factors that influence one's health--not just factors under the narrow lens of dentistry. In any case, I will give a simple recount of my experience in the event that it helps someone navigate this--or any other--facility with greater success. We have a complicated health care delivery system, fragmented into silos by specialty and further fragmented between "medical", "dental" and "mental health" care. Dr. Boudreau seems accustomed to trying to bring them all together, which means at times, as logic would support, someone's dental care needs may intersect with their medical care needs. In his opinion, the extraction of my wisdom teeth had such an intersection. In line with that, the receptionist seemed to have wisely predicted that might be true by having asked for my medical insurance information prior to my first consultation. She figured it was wise for us to know if my medical insurance would allow me to be treated by Dr. Boudreau outside of his office IF I needed to go under general anesthesia. However, rather than letting me know in advance of my consultation that, in fact, Dr. Boudreau had no privileges (the right to practice) at any hospital that accepted my insurance, she allowed me to move forward with my consultation. Strike 1 for this lazy receptionist. During my consultation, I found that I liked Dr. Boudreau and felt I would be in good hands for my extraction, which he advised I do under general anesthesia. He told me the receptionist would submit a request for such an extraction to my medical insurance and call me as soon as it went through. In a week, I got a call, and the receptionist told me my insurance denied the request. When I called both my medical and dental insurance to question the denial, they told me no such request had been made. I called the office to try to sort things out, asking the receptionist to formally submit a request to my insurance, and she said, "I don't do that. I call the hospital the doctor likes and see if they accept your coverage. If they do not, you must pay in full or go somewhere else." WOW. BIG strike 2 considering she was not willing to do what's necessary/customary for me to receive treatment! In response to this, I asked her to have Dr. Boudreau give me a call directly so we could discuss the situation. Not a day passed, and she called me back and said that he could not make the time to call (I have since learned he never got my message, as he has made plenty of time now to explain the situation, which proves to me he would have called then.) I thus asked for a copy of my x-ray, to which she responded there would be a $40 charge. $40 for a $99 x-ray? I refused, and told her the least she could do after wasting everyone's time and putting me in a situation where I would have to get a second consult (and pay another co-payment) was reduce my need to also pay for a second x-ray. She obliged. (Note: I ended up getting a second x-ray at the surgeon I ended up using anyway--Dr. Ramin Shabtaie--as he has much newer technology, which he preferred to use to obtain an x-ray with much higher resolution. In all honesty, I don't know if this second x-ray was necessary, but it did show a lot more detail, which seemed helpful in seeing how close my oral nerves were to my wisdom teeth.) Bottom line: I had a very poor experience with the receptionist but a decent experience with Dr. Boudreau. In all fairness, if there is a new--and good--receptionist, I would recommend Dr. Boudreau. That said, I also recommend understanding your insurance in advance. This process has been very educational for me. I have learned that only in the most rare of circumstances will dental insurance ever approve going under general anesthesia (e.g., for children with Down syndrome, etc.). Many people instead pay for it out-of-pocket to avoid being present during the barbaric procedure of an extraction, which at the surgeon I ended up using would have cost about $160 in his office; I assume, had he wanted to do it at a nearby hospital, it would have cost more and involved using my medical insurance in some way. (Note: I ended up just going with local anesthesia for $45.) Know all your options in advance and get a quote!

I'm not even a patient and I have already had a negative experience with this doctor and his…read moreoffice. I have called multiple times at different times of the day and I always get the answering service who takes my message requesting an appointment. No one has ever called me back! I find it so odd that it's always the answering service and never a live person who answers the phone which leads me to question the legitimacy, validity, and professionalism of this doctor and his staff.
