    I got a lower molar filling from dentist Hyeyoung Cho on Jan 9. It felt off right away, but since I…read morewas still numb, I wasn't sure if it was an actual issue. She told me to call back for a follow up if it persisted. Once the numbness wore off, the bite was definitely wrong. The filling felt too flat on top and didn't line up with my upper molar. I went back on Feb 20 for an adjustment, but Hyeyoung Cho came into the room with a hostile attitude. She basically started interrogating me. It's hard enough to articulate a bite issue since you can only go by feel, but her intimidating vibe made it so much worse. I felt so uncomfortable in the chair that I eventually just said "it's okay now" purely so I could get out of there and escape the hostile environment. After stepping out, I gathered myself and went back inside to try and resolve the issue one more time. The dentist practically yelled at me. She dismissively told me that if I wanted to get it checked, I should just go see another dentist. I have never had a professional act this way. You'd expect basic respect, especially when you're seeking help for discomfort caused by the dentist's own procedure. Her behavior was incredibly rude, showed a total lack of professionalism, and she outright refused to provide standard follow up care.

    Where do I begin, I'm the type of person that HATES the dentist and has extreme anxiety about being…read moreat one due to traumatic childhood experiences and I can confidently say this dental office has made me feel 1000% at ease. You can read my review of the other place I went to, to compare my night and day difference of an experience. My experience began when I arrived here for a second opinion from another dentist that I went to the day before that I had a completely awful experience at. I was able to book an appointment, got sent instructions for parking and how to find the office and a nice confirmation. The process was so smooth compared to my last place. I also very much so appreciate the questionnaire they made me take where I could share my dental history and general feelings of the dentist. I think because of this the doctors definitely took note of my anxiety being in the office. Upon arrival I was checked in immediately and before I could even finish signing my papers I was already called into the room. Unheard of. I was here because I woke up to an extremely inflamed face that was causing toothache, nerve pinching, etc and I assumed it was from a tooth abscess (self diagnosed through google lol). Dr. Azy was the one who saw me, she was warm and patient while also acknowledging my concerns. If you looked at my face you could see right away something was wrong with how swollen I was. The dental assistant took my x-rays and then she began my examination immediately after. Unlike the other location I went to, she was very careful about how she probed my face and always checked in to see if I was ok or feeling pressure. She even acknowledged that she didn't want to do too much to cause me more pain and explained what she thought it might be and even explained to me how the medications I got prescribed by the previous doctor would help (I got zero explanations from the other place and was almost taking them blindly) I got sent out with follow up instructions and scheduled another check in visit. Even after my visit Dr. Azy called and texted me personally to check up on me. It was so thoughtful and kind and really made me feel like someone actually cared about what was happening to me. Eventually my swelling went down and things completely healed, I came back for my checkup and was able to schedule additional services with them that I was due for: a cleaning and some cavities. I was told I need a deep clean from the other office and here they told me I didn't, I was also quoted for 2 additional cavities at the other place and had less here. I didn't have dental insurance but learned that they have their own in house dental insurance and I chose to go that route just from the experience I had. To follow up I eventually went to my third appointment and was seen by Dr. Nasiry. I really wanted to be seen by Dr.Azy just bc of the comfort I had with her but Dr.Nasiry and team took amazing care of me. From the welcome, injections, procedure, etc everything was done with such grace and kindness. Halfway through the process she could tell I was getting a bit anxious and she paused to give me a break without me even asking. The dental assistant that assisted was also amazing. He really took the time to make sure I had everything I needed and thoroughly explained everything before which really helped with my anxiety. If you are looking for a dental office that truly cares and feels like a well oiled machine I would highly recommend this clinic. It is absolutely one of the best dental offices I've experienced and that's coming from someone who would avoid a dentist like a black plague if she could. I look forward to my next visits now knowing that I'm going to be taken care of and not dismissed just because of my anxiety. I 10/10 would recommend both Dr. Azy and Dr.Nasiry in a heartbeat!

    I went in today for a routine dental cleaning, which I have done consistently twice a year for many…read moreyears. While reclining in the dental chair, my blood pressure was checked for the first time. I was informed by Sammy, the dental technician?, that this is a new procedure as the practice continues to update its protocols. My blood pressure was taken twice using a CVS store-brand cuff placed over a thick sweater. During the first reading, my arm was positioned hanging down at my side with my arm bent on the dental bed. I was not asked to rest it at heart level, nor was I seated with my feet flat on the floor, as is standard practice in most medical settings. The second reading was taken in the same manner, again over my sweater and arm hanging down. I slightly adjusted my arm position myself during the second attempt. Both readings were elevated, and I was told that my dental cleaning could not proceed. And...that's ok. What I found concerning is that upon returning home, I checked my blood pressure using two different machines BEFORE taking my medication. I took my sweater off, sat upright, feet on floor, and arm by chest/heart level. While my readings were elevated, they were SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the measurements taken at the dental office. If blood pressure readings are being used to determine whether routine dental care can proceed, it is important that staff are properly trained in correct blood pressure measurement techniques. To clarify, I do have high blood pressure, and my physician and I manage it carefully. In addition, I had not yet taken my medication prior to the dental appointment. However, my at-home readings were nothing comparable to those taken at the dentist. Had my blood pressure truly been as high as indicated at the dentist, I would have sought immediate emergency care, especially given that I am pregnant and aware of the seriousness such readings would pose. I am grateful that I rechecked my blood pressure at home for peace of mind. I even called my doctor, went in to the doctor's office, showed my doctor the sweater, explained how it was done...and my doctor said it was done incorrectly! *For transparency, a prior positive post about this practice was made after being offered a discount for doing so. At this point, I believe it may be time to seek care elsewhere.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was honestly one of the most unethical and…read moremisleading experiences I've had with a healthcare provider. I recently moved to Downtown Los Angeles and decided to try a local dental office instead of continuing to drive to my longtime dentist in the Valley. I thought I found a trustworthy office, especially since the receptionist and doctor were Iranian like me, which made me feel more comfortable initially. Unfortunately, that trust was completely misplaced. From the beginning, the receptionist was oddly pushy and pressured me to come in the same day despite me clearly saying I had a long workday and was exhausted. Looking back, that should have been my first red flag. Before my appointment, I sent over my insurance card. At absolutely no point did anyone inform me that this doctor was OUT OF NETWORK. No warning. No transparency. Nothing. When I arrived, they immediately proceeded with scans and X-rays without clearly explaining costs or coverage. They provided with a false estimate for my review, no words again at all again the costs may change based off the fact that we are out of network. I was then pressured into an expensive "deep cleaning" after being told that if I didn't do it, I could potentially end up with severe health consequences, even cancer. Fear-based tactics in a dental office are completely unacceptable. I paid around $1,300 out of pocket that same day for the treatment they strongly pushed. Then, a month later, I received an additional surprise bill for over $600 because, surprise, the office was out of network and many services were not covered. What made this even worse was the complete lack of professionalism afterward. When I tried contacting the office to discuss the billing discrepancy, my calls were ignored. I specifically asked to speak with the receptionist who handled my intake and insurance information, and I was repeatedly told she was "busy" and that she would call me back. She never did. Instead, I later received an email containing a completely different explanation of the charges and why I supposedly owed an additional $600. The explanations were inconsistent, unclear, and did not align with what was communicated during my visit. The issue is not whether I can afford the bill. I can. The issue is the principle, the lack of transparency, and the unethical way this office conducts business. I have been to multiple dentists throughout my life and have NEVER experienced a situation where an office withheld out-of-network information after receiving my insurance in advance, while simultaneously pushing expensive procedures without full financial disclosure. Patients deserve honesty, transparency, and informed consent....not pressure, scare tactics, and surprise bills afterward.
