Absolutely the worst dentist ever. I came here from a recommendation from campus dental and I…read moreabsolutely regret it. I wish I would've never walked in that door. I have now lost two teeth due to them. They said they were not approved by Medi-Cal. Medi-Cal said they were approved back in August. They have never called me not one time not one time since August to ask me how I was doing asked me about my teeth to let me know that they're waiting for approvals for any reason whatsoever. Every time I've called them it's been we're waiting for approvals. The work that I have had done there the dentist walks around like a commando directing orders at her assistance and she is extremely rude to them. I feel like they should file a lawsuit against her. She's awful just be warned before you go if they are horrible the dentist throws the tools on your chest as she's working on your teeth. The whole time that she is working on your teeth, she is giving the assistant a hard time she was telling the assistant to run run run and get her stuff.. Don't go here you will regret it. I have two teeth less due to their negligence and what am I gonna do? Go file a lawsuit with no money.

Took my 5 year old here and it was the biggest mistake! They say they work with kids but this is…read morenot a child friendly facility or experience or environment whatsoever! The female dentist was beyond disrespectful and rude to my child. The dentist poked her to numb her and my daughter did fantastic! The dentist then began to drill her tooth and my daughter felt scared due to the noise. The dentist got very upset with her and I could tell she was getting very irritated. She kept responding to questions with an ugly attitude. She then decides to tell us we need to go somewhere else. I said what was the point of putting my 5 year old through that trauma only to send us away. Mind you she also had me give her medication to make her sleepy/drowsy. She was upset at me because I didn't give her the dosage she wanted me to give. The pharmacist was very worried because she told us that was a high dosage for a 5 year old at her weight. I explained all that to the dentist so I already knew by her attitude that she was irritated and mad. She decided to proceed anyway. Again my daughter did fantastic but due to the dentist demeanor and attitude towards my child she made my child extremely uncomfortable and instilled fear and anxiety. My child said she couldn't breathe and that the drilling hurt. The dentist responded with her attitude that if that was the case then she was going to numb her again with the needle! I don't care who you are you never talk to a child the way she did! I myself was left with trauma and fear due to this awful experience. My child is having a difficult time now that I have to take her somewhere else. People please please do not allow your child to go through what my child went through. Please pay very close attention to the dentist tone and choice of words! If I could give no stars of course I would. The dentist also tried to put blame on me and my child for being uncomfortable. Of course we were uncomfortable she was a monster!! How could anyone do this to a child a child!!! I still think about it it's so disturbing to know that she will continue her practice like nothing. She even squirted water on my child just because my child asked her what the tool was and she said it's only water and squirts her! DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD HERE! The facility is dirty there was a flea on my child once she got into the seat. The furniture is disgusting clearly we know where the dentist money goes not into the facility because the rooms are gross and not kept up with. Pay attention don't waste your time.

Despite the challenge, Dr. Nouri remained patient, focused, and determined throughout the entire process, which took about two hours. During the procedure, she consistently checked on me to make sure I was comfortable and not in pain. Her care and attention truly made a difference. She did an amazing job getting a very stubborn tooth out, and I felt such relief once it was finally completed. Her assistant was also incredibly supportive and comforting, working seamlessly alongside Dr. Nouri the entire time. After the procedure, I was sent home with antibiotics and pain relief medication, along with clear instructions. At my follow-up appointment, Dr. Nouri carefully checked my healing, smoothed out part of the bone graft area, and made sure everything was progressing well. She took the time to explain everything in detail and genuinely cared about how I was feeling. The entire staff was warm, welcoming, and professional. They even found a charm that had fallen off in the chair and kindly texted me to ask if it was mine, letting me know they would safely hold onto it for me. That level of thoughtfulness meant a lot. I truly felt cared for and valued as a patient. Thank you to everyone at Modern Dental for such a positive & great experience.

I'm leaving this review because of the frustrating lack of communication and system failures prior…read moreto my appointment. While the office staff were perfectly fine in person, the process leading up to the visit was a mess. I called to schedule a second opinion and verified with my insurance that it would be covered. However, after arriving, I was told I had to pay out-of-pocket. Beyond the billing confusion, I never received the promised link for the new patient packet. Their online portal wouldn't confirm my submission either, so I had to print and bring the paperwork myself. The staff is okay, but the office systems and pre-appointment communication definitely need improvement. It is frustrating to have the office fail to communicate costs and fail at basic new patient onboarding. I would not recommend this practice if you value transparency.

Canyon Crest Dental (CCD) in Riverside is located at the Canyon Crest Towne Centre behind Hangar 24…read moreand across the gym, next to Dr Fishberg Family Vision Center. I came here a little over year ago to find relief for an unbearable toothache (which resulted in me getting a root canal and crown) that my regular dentist could not help me with and have stayed a loyal patient with CCD since then. In my experience with Canyon Crest Dental, they set the bar high compared to other dental offices for number of reasons: * Employees. They have happy employees ready to help. Even when walking in, they are ready to make sure you are checked in for your appointment. They always look polished and professional. They always have a smile and I like that! * Communication. Communication is great. They pick up the phone in a timely manner and help answer your question quickly. And they are ready to follow-up with you. Even by email, they are quick to respond to your question. * Appointments. Scheduling appointments is easy. And they have multiple reminders (e.g., text, email, etc.) leading up to the appointment to ensure your appointment is confirmed. Before I leave, they make sure I already have my next appointment in their system. * Cleanliness. It smells clean upon entering and appears clean as well. The aesthetic already puts you in a good mood even if you're anxious about a procedure. This makes me feel great about coming here. * Comfortable. During each visit, they made me feel comfortable and informed me about what they were doing throughout the process so that I can sit and let them do the work. They make sure you have shades on so you don't get the bright lights or gunk on you. I've also been offered a blanket to feel comfortable and was offered bottled water during my wait. * Professional. The staff wear earpieces to communicate with one another discreetly. It makes for a seamless process as you transition from the lobby to the exam room or to the payment office, etc. The staff is courteous and they ensure you are well taken care of. * Up-to-date. They stay updated with technology so I know they are using the latest and best devices. Even when Dr. Leoni left, they were quick to update their website, in-lobby television ads, and exterior window signage. Overall (and despite the money I've paid), I am a completely satisfied patient and I know I have found a great dental team. I started with Dr. Randal Leoni, who was patient and took excellent care of me and my teeth. I now have Dr. Andy Lou who helps to make sure I have the same great care. I really enjoyed the techs (especially Eva) who have helped with my dental work as well. Highly recommend if you're within the vicinity looking for a superior dental team (from front desk, to billing, to actual dental work, etc.) and a top tier company.

Update: 6 years later and I still have had nothing but amazing experiences for my deep cleanings,…read more6-month routine check ups and filings. I just had 2 small cavities taken care of yesterday and I went in there with such ease knowing I was in good hands based on my previous experience with Dr. Akkari. Once again, the whole process was completely pain free and I was out of there in less than an hour (the procedure itself was at most 15 minutes). Also, I cant understand why there are a few negative reviews about their receptionists. Rita has always been super sweet & I can't remember the other ladies name but they have always been super polite and helpful with scheduling, rescheduling, checking in & helping me get a referral to an oral surgeon. And as always, his dental assistants are kind & gentle as well.

I have gone back to my bank statements and submitted them along with proof of payment. Now there's an investigation to Assure all my payments are according to the fee schedule.

He says hi and how am I, goes over my x-rays, then just leaves. He doesn't tell me if I had any cavities or any of his findings. He just leaving to the next patient and has the dental assistant explain what the findings were. I have never had a dentist that didn't explain to me after the exam. It make me feel like I am not worth his time. Another incident, I went in to go get a filling and he stuck the needle in to numb me and it missed my whole gum completely and the liquid just leaked inside my mouth. It tasted gross. He came back later and I told him is it supposed to feel numb because it doesn't. I told him it must have leaked all in my mouth. The dental assistant had to explain to him what I was trying to say for whatever reason. I guess he wasn't paying attention so he had to re-numb me and never once apologize. So I am finding a new dentist that likes to converse with their patients.
