    Poor communication in office. Left message with receptionist for doctor to call. Not even a courteous reply. Seems too busy.

The ladies at the front desk are also super helpful as well. For insurance, they accept most PPO however they do not accept HMO or Medi-Cal so that's something to keep in mind when planning a visit. The place is well kept and clean. They have their own designated parking lot behind the building which is nice not having to worry about finding street parking. Before coming here, I was deciding between two dental offices and I'm happy that I went with Cedar Smiles.

He is incredibly kind, patient, and has such a calming presence. His staff and hygienist are just as amazing, literally the sweetest and most reassuring team. They never make you feel like you are asking too many questions or like you are a burden, which means everything when you have dental anxiety. The wait time is short, which helps so much with nerves, and Dr. Hakimi has the lightest hand when it comes to numbing. I honestly did not feel a thing. He is understanding, funny, fast, and efficient. He even gives you a stress ball if you need it. In my 32 years of life, I have never been this grateful to find a dentist I actually feel comfortable coming back to. Even when it is a traumatic sounding procedure, they make you feel safe and cared for. I have officially found my dentist for life.

    This review is years in the making. I don't typically write negative reviews, especially for small…read morebusinesses, because I understand one experience may not reflect the majority. But in this case, I feel it's important to share. I came to this office years ago after moving to Cerritos, right before my wedding, simply looking for a new dentist and a routine cleaning. They had great reviews, which is why I trusted them. From the start, I was told I had extensive issues--multiple cavities needed to be redone and several crowns were recommended. This was surprising to me, as I've consistently gone to the dentist and had never been told I needed such drastic work. Still, I trusted their assessment. The procedures that followed were some of the most painful dental experiences I've ever had. They took hours, felt extremely aggressive, and left me in severe pain afterward--far beyond what I've ever experienced with dental work. I have a high pain tolerance, and this felt very wrong. What was most frustrating was what happened next. I returned multiple times explaining that I couldn't sleep, eat, or function due to the pain. Each time, my concerns were dismissed and attributed to things like not flossing (umm I couldn't floss because of the extreme pain), which didn't make sense given the level of pain I was in. After pushing back repeatedly--especially with my wedding just days away--I insisted something was seriously wrong and requested further evaluation. It turned out I needed three root canals as a result of their prior work. Separately, the crowns that were placed caused ongoing issues. Eating anything with texture would cause gum pain, and I noticed unusual gaps that trapped food. When I brought this up, I was told the only solution was to redo the crowns at additional cost. My crowns also came off. Later, I happened to see a different dentist at the same office (a female provider who may have been temporary), and she immediately noted that the crowns had been placed at an awkward angle. She corrected them, and since then, I've had no pain and no further issues such as crowns falling off. I ultimately switched dentists and have not needed any major dental work since--just routine cleanings every six months, with no recurring problems. Based on what I went through--particularly the aggressive treatment, the outcome, and the dismissal of my concerns--I feel it's important for others to have full context before making a decision.

Cozy and home-like office Now the not-good stuff: 1. Initial appointment with exam and x-rays was time-consuming as it included unnecessary, extra exams (neither hubby nor I ever experienced). We aren't sure, but it seemed like exams for cosmetic upgrades and maybe(?) a way to bill hubby's insurance for additional exams. I waited for hubby to come out almost 2 hours later and we both felt pressured about his experience. 2. Hubby received a basic dental cleaning but it only lasted about 7-8 minutes. At previous dentists, it always lasted at least 25 minutes. There was no fluoride paste or even polishing. We know that some offices don't do the fluoride, but no polishing, post cleaning flossing, nor manual pick work seemed rather odd. Hubby said that the cleaning was no more effective than his daily flossing. 3. WORST: We received letter packets from his dental insurance every other week for about 2 months. They were appeal letters stating attempts to bill hubby's insurance for a premium cleaning (worth about $800), rather than the basic cleaning that he actually received (worth about $75, which insurance covered). So we don't want to make assumptions, but when you received a $75 fully-covered cleaning but see paperwork that the insurance received a $800 claim, it is an unnerving feeling. This was also a hassle because hubby had to call his insurance each time to let them know what actually happened. We both work, but even though I have more flexibility, I wasn't able to make calls on his behalf because the appeals were under his name and account.
