THANK YOU SO MUCH, DR. YASSAMY! This Tue my 84-year-old mother suffered a terrible fall that required urgent, traumatic dental care. Dr. Yassamy not only fit us into her busy schedule but went above and beyond in a way I've never imagined from any doctor. My mom's mouth was badly injured and needed immediate help. Dr. Yassamy contacted a specialist in La Cañada to quickly construct a mold of her teeth, coordinated with trauma specialist in South Pas, Dr. Goei, scheduled an appointment right away AND THEN PERSONALLY DROVE US TO DR. GOEI'S OFFICE IN HER CAR WHICH WAS AMAZING. WHO DOES THAT? I'VE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH EXTRAORDINARY CARE AND PERSONAL/PROFESSIONAL DEDICATION. DR. GOEI WAS EQUALLY INCREDIBLE, and we'll be leaving him a positive review as well. Our family is genuinely grateful for Dr. Yassamy's compassion, urgency, and selflessness. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we will try to return the favor. read more

I purchased a sleep apnea mouthguard from this office after being told it would be covered by my insurance. It wasn't. I ended up paying $5,000 out of pocket, and when the insurance denied the claim, I was left frustrated and never returned. Years later, I came back simply needing replacement rubber bands for the mouthguard. Not only did they refuse to provide them, but they also wouldn't show me how to attach them without scheduling--and paying for--another appointment. I left the office disappointed. The front desk staff was dismissive and rude. My husband posted a review recently about how upsetting this experience was for me. All I needed was a basic rubber band replacement. Today, I received a phone call from the doctor. I had hoped it would be a chance to resolve things professionally. Instead, she raised her voice, interrupted me repeatedly, and left me feeling deeply disrespected. I work in the medical field, and I've never encountered such unprofessional behavior from a healthcare provider. Patients deserve to be heard, not belittled. I cannot recommend this doctor. She was aggressive, dismissive, and unwilling to listen. Her approach to patient care needs serious reflection and improvement. read more

I have been going to Dr. Yassamy for many years now and I trust her with my dental health. She has done everything from basic dental care to veneers and I have never had any problems. She also helped with my root canal and is not afraid to refer me to a specialist when I needed additional help. Staff is friendly and the facility is spotless. All in all a cheerful environment to go to get your dental care. read more

Last Tuesday September 23 I was out for my weekday morning walk. I wasn't paying attention because I face planted on a corner sidewalk. Neighbors called the paramedics and I was in ER, ICU and then home. After I was released my son was able to arrange a late afternoon appointment that day with Dr. Yasamy so she could assess the damage to my teeth. She immediately arranged for implants for missing teeth and (which I've NEVER SEEN BEFORE) DROVE US HERSELF IN HER CAR to her oral surgeon , who then performed oral surgery THAT DAY! DEFINITELY above and beyond!!! Thank you Dr Yasamy. You are my rock Star. I'll give you an 11star rating with 10 being best! read more

I have been coming here almost my entire life. Even after moving I still choose to come to this dentist. The staff here is incredible! Everyone is so kind and knowledgeable, I know that I am in good hands whenever I come for a check up or procedure. read more

Arrogant and overpriced dentist. She comes across as warm and kind at first. I really liked her initially. Then I saw the real thing. I went to her for two years. She was rude to her employees on several occasions. It made me uncomfortable. She charged $8000+ for Invisalign. She didn't have any experience with Invisalign. She was new to offering Invisalign as a service and was learning on the fly as she was providing it to her patients. She didn't provide thorough Invisalign service as I learned after the fact from a friend who is a well-esteemed dentist in the area. I asked her why she charged so much more than others and she had no answer other than her superior USC education and her response was so rude and arrogant and emotional and off the charts I was absolutely at a loss for words. I would not recommend this dentist. read more

Totally knowledgeable and professional. Dr. Yassamy is dedicated to the dental and overall health of all her patients. I have been with her practice since she started in San Marino and will vouch for her work. I don't think one could find a better dentist. read more

More than a dentist this person is an artist.. Not that I would recommend this as a form of meditation, but I was just in her chair for three hours, and I felt like I was meditating...(when you're wearing headphones, listening to Pandora and Taylor Swift songs from Bridgerton it reallhelps) Painless, a great team, Committed to her craft... and when she says perfect as she comes to the end of the treatment, you know you got the best of the best Highly highly recommended can't thank her enough read more

This dentist is a scam artist. My wife had a custom mouth guard for sleep apnea made here. And the office told her it would 100% be paid for by the insurance. But in order to do it, she had to pay the entire amount of $5,000 up front. Because there's a process they have to go through to get it pushed through with the insurance. So she followed their lead. The mouth guard arrived. The insurance still had not reimbursed. But the office assured us they would. A month later, it was completely denied. And the office just said oops. Sorry about that. Not even a partial reimbursement or offer of office credit. Nothing. A year later, the rubber bands that hold the mouth guard together got disconnected. And my wife just went into the office to ask them if they could help show her how to reconnect the rubber bands properly. And they told her she would need to make an appointment in order to do that. They wouldn't just show her how to put on the rubber bands to the mouth guard she unnecessarily paid $5k for. She would have to pay to make an appointment for them to show her. First they stole our money. Now this! There are hundreds of great dentists in LA. Do your best to avoid this one unless you enjoy being robbed. read more

The last visit was very pleasant. Dr. Yassamy has a new dental hygienist who made my cleaning much less painful and much more enjoyable actually. Rosie is gentle and kind. Now rather than dreading going to get my teeth cleaned I will be happy to go; I will be eager to go because I know that teeth cleaning is so important to one's overall health and wellbeing. I highly recommend most competent Dr. Yassamy and her entire professional team. Addendum: I had the pleasure of returning to Dr. Yassamy's office again today for fillings. I realized dentistry is an art and Dr. Yassamy is a highly gifted dentist. She is caring, dexterous and incredibly sensitive to one's needs in dental care. You are missing out on one of "the greatest" dentists. Her office is conveniently located in San Marino. She has a staff extraordinaire! read more

I appreciate having no wait time in the waiting room. The new hygienist cleaned my teeth well with awareness of my sensitive areas.

Updated: 6/29/2015 After coming to see Dr. Yassamy for many years, I still give her service 5-stars. For the past year, I've been receiving TMJ treatment for my teeth grinding. At first, I was given a custom made night guard but Dr. Yassamy felt that there was more to the teeth grinding and recommended that I use an orthotic to fix my jaw alignment. I notice that I do not grit my teeth as much during the day as I used to. I have less jaw pain and sensitivity. Dr. Yassamy and her staff are caring, knowledgable and I still highly recommend their services. In fact, I make the 40 mile drive just to come here because of their expertise. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I originally started going to Dr. Goodreau in 2005 because my husband, his mother and sister in-law were going there and I had my share of shady dentists in the past. When Dr. Yassamy joined Dr. Goodreau's dentist office, I started to see her instead. She's very patient, and I appreciate that she explains each step and why she's doing what she is doing. She's very knowledgable and I would definitely recommend her to anyone! read more

Fary Yassamy, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - San Marino, California

I can't recommend Dr. Yassamy enough. I've been coming to this office for years and Dr. Yassamy finds the best people to work with her. I'm a nervous wreck just to get my teeth cleaned and even worse at the prospect of cavities etc. it is a pleasure interacting with her and her team! I also really like Dr. Yassamy's commitment to technology. Every time I visit they have new stuff and being a technologist I really, really dig that. It's small stuff like emailing reminders with a link to confirm the visit to the bigger items like their computers, digital imaging and other devices which mean they can see more and do more. She uses the newest materials which means when you have to have stuff done what they use is a better product, it's about quality and doing the best job not the number of patients they can pump out in one day, this also means it's a more relaxed atmosphere in the office. Since they focus on preventative dentistry it means I'm really only here for cleaning and care and not for the major repairs. The things Dr. Yassamy has recommended has been based on my individual needs and my wife's dental plan and needs are specific to her. This is how things should be. This is why I come back. More so, this is why I drive an hour to visit Dr. Yassamy and will continue to do so for a long time to come. read more

This was the most thorough annual dental exam I've experienced. Dawn was helpful and accommodated our emotional support animal who waited in the waiting room in his carrier. Dr. Yassamy explained what she observed, and addressed my concerns. Her assistant was also professional. read more

I have had Dr. Yassamy perform three procedures and she is very gifted at making the patient comfortable. I am a medical professional, and when I look for physicians and dentists for my own treatment, I want someone who is empathetic and experienced. Dr. Yassamy is both! read more

This dentist is really not ethical. I agree with the other reviewer who says she is greedy. Her technicians tried to convince me that I needed a $1,600 teeth cleaning - which is Insane. She also made me a terrible nightguard that was broken in the back and cut up the inside of my cheek. I called the office in terrible pain and was given the run-around with two or three different assistants and then the doctor. They had zero sympathy for me even though they knew that I had been having TMJ problems for months, and this was my third nightguard. They also tried to pretend that the nightguard wasn't defective. When I went to see the doctor, she said she had contacted her lawyer because I was so incredibly rude on the phone. I admit I was in a lot of pain and pretty upset, but her technicians and she really made up a bunch of boloney that was rotten and that I never said. She tried to have me sign some absolutely ridiculous paperwork about legalities (basically admitting she messed up big time and that I wouldn't sue her for being in total pain), and then she stole my nightguard right out of my hand in the office and refused to return it! She wouldn't let go of it, and grabbed my arm and her assistant grabbed my arm too. I had wanted to keep it as proof of her botched job, and send a picture to the California Dentists Board. After she and her technician assaulted me, I just gave up and took the check she had offered me off of the table, even though she had said I couldn't take it unless I signed legal paperwork. So in agony, and pretty blown away by the office behavior, I rushed with my husband to see his dentist - who is awesome and took impressions for a new nightguard right away - she is my dentist now! Then the story of the refunded money - she refunded for the nightguard as well as the work they had done too. I deposited the check - which they then cancelled, and my bank charged me a fee for that. Then they sent me another check, for the cost of the nightguard alone - and more legal paperwork that they wanted me to mail back to them! What a laugh! This doctor and her staff are quacks, greedy, suspicious, lying quacks. She tried to tell me that I couldn't report her to the California Dental Board because she was a member - my new dentist knows better! She is on the Board too, and anyone can be reported and observed for malpractice. If you don't want to be ignored, belittled, cheated, lied to, waste precious time, or trust your medical care to a completely terrible dentists office - go somewhere else. This place is rotten! read more

Dr. Yassamy took over the practice from Dr. Goodreau whom I had seen for many years. I do not quibble with Dr. Yassamy's technical skills nor her chair-side manner. My problem is that every time I (or my wife) went in I felt like I was being sold something. One time the doctor and I casually discussed the possibility of a certain future treatment. To my suprise after speaking with the doctor I was escorted into a room followed by a young woman prepared with a treatment plan and a financial commitment. Don't know if they are still there but the hygenists, Edith and Becky, are terrific as is my fav, Debbie, the receptionist. Anyway, we left the practice. read more

This was the best experience I've ever had at a dentist. Very thorough, kind and impressive. Really on top of their game. Can't recommend enough. A+ read more

This is my dentist. Love the staff. Been going here for past two years Dr Yassamy always takes care of me. She is very thorough and gentle. I was very impressed with the assistant Tamara. She's very personable and knows what she is doing. Office is very clean and very up to date. read more

Love the ambiance, the staff, and the service. They are upfront about costs and the thing i love most is that they try to get to know you. Most doctors and dentists I've seen, wants me in and out as fast as possible. Here they try to get to know me as a person. They are very friendly and informative. Been recommending to friends since my first appointment. Now only if i can find a doctor like them. read more

I have been going to Dr. Yassamy since she took the practice over from Drs Goodreau and Sundbye (who I also saw for several years prior to their retirements). She has spruced up and modernized the office in many ways both aesthetic and technical. It was a perfectly nice place before, now benefitting from a little feminine TLC. I like her practice a lot. I'm reviewing now because a couple of days ago I managed to chip a corner off my porcelain crown (in a non painful way, thank goodness). The office got me in the next morning, and I now have an invisible repair less than 45 minutes later, good as new. Dr. Yassamy is an excellent dentist, who repaired some bad work that had been done in the past (pre Goodreau/Sundbye). I had some amalgam fillings from long ago that were expanding and cracking my molars, which she gently repaired with crowns or new fillings--placing an emphasis on keeping as much original tooth as possible. Her hygienists are excellent with my kids, who both like the office as well. My youngest had a small cavity fix to a baby tooth that went without a hitch (he didn't even mind), no novocaine required. Dr. Yassamy is always brimming with information about the latest in dentistry research, and the classes she's taken (I ask, I am a curious person) and is cheerful and charismatic, with a cute accent. Since taking over this practice several years ago, she has put more emphasis on selling some services (whitening and invisilign), but I can't say I blame her when I see the insurance reimbursement rates on my statements. This is a business, and being a Dr. is not the lucrative no-brainer it once was. read more

Excellent dentist! Dr. Yassami is very good. Steady hands and always makes sure I am comfortable and not in pain. They do good clean work. Just finished a crown and I was in and out in a timely manner. Staff is very friendly and accommodates your schedule. Clean facilities and in a good location. Highly recommended! read more

Dr. Yassamy and her staff are great. It was very comfortable, quite, clean, efficient, and she did a great job. We will be back!

Dr. Yassamy performed a partial crown for me and it came out great! She was very thorough and careful. She was also aware of any discomfort I was experiencing during the procedure and did her best to mitigate any pain. Masks were also strictly enforced, they took temperatures at the front counter, and all of the staff wore proper PPE. Dr. Yassamy is an awesome dentist who made me feel heard and cared for. read more

I have been going to Dr. Yassamy for years and have always been very happy with her. She is very personable, gentle and knowledgeable. Her staff is always cheerful and more than happy to assist you in whatever you need. I live 45 minutes away now and still make the drive because I can't imagine going to anyone else. read more

Dr. Yassamy and her staff provided me with excellent and professional dental care. From the very first visit I was very impressed with a friendly greeting from the entire staff. The facility is immaculate. Mary is the best hygienist ever. Can't wait for my next cleaning. Overall I am a patient for life. Thank you Dr. Yassamy and staff. read more

Love Dr. Yassamy! She and her staff are super professional and you can tell they really do care about your dental health. When I popped off a temporary crown at dinner (totally my fault) they called me first thing the next morning to get me back in to put it back on. They're the best! read more

Dr. Yassamy is the the absolute best! She makes you feel so at ease and explains everything so well and easy to understand. Suzanne and the entire staff are fantastic and also make you feel at ease! I am a very anxious person and I could not feel any more calm than I do when I am at their office. It is almost like a spa. My smile looks amazing after just my first visit! Great for anyone looking for a modern, professional, friendly dentist office!! read more

They do not follow up when patients are referred to other specialists.... The office seems to be inexperience and Dr. Yassamy always feels the need to get her assistant opinion instead of relying on her own. read more

AMAZING!!!!! I absolutely love Dr Yassamy and her staff. She always makes me feel comfortable, relaxed, and generally cares about the well being of your teeth. The customer service in this office is top notch and I fully appreciate the little things she does to stand out above the rest. During the holidays she makes apple cider for her patients, has open houses to show how much she appreciates people, and strives to make her profession the best it can be. I have been going here for years and refer all of my friends. As crazy as it sounds, I wish I had to visit more often. read more

Courteous staff that care about your experience from the receptionist to the dentist. Explained procedures and offer comfort care. I'm glad I switch to Dr. Yassamy. read more

If I could 0 review!! We miss the previous dental office. Very unkind doctor, when you don't agree with her. Be careful, many very goods drs. around. read more

Dr. Yassamy is an excellent dentist -- during the six years I have been under her care she has done excellent work, even recognizing and correcting ill-fitting dental work done by others in the past. She is very caring and easy to talk to, which makes the experience of going to the dentist stress-free. In my experience, she has been very reasonable about working with my budget when designing a treatment plan. I highly recommend her! read more

Dr Yassamy is amazing. My family and I are patients of that office and we are all extremely satisfied with the level of service and expertise the office provides. Regardless of what type of work is done the experience is flawless. Would definitely recommend the place to everyone. read more

Brought my daughter in for severe pain on her jaw bone. As soon as I walked in, I felt part of the family, from front office to back office. We got a tour of the office and as we went into our room. My daughter was given a welcome letter and the cutest welcome gift bag. When Dr. Yassamy walked in she began to ask question and examen my daughter! she took her time gave us great information. Looking forward to our next appointment with her. She was so amazing, gentle, sweet, and very thorough! Will recommend her to anyone who is seaking a general dentist, or a TMJ specialist. Fell in love with her staff, Very sweet, professional and very welcoming! Thank you so much Dr. Yassamy and staff for everything!!! See you very soon :) read more

Dr Yassamy is gentle, highly sensitive to patient fears, and very attentive to detail. She will take the time she needs to get it right--not just right: PERFECT! read more

If there was a way to give more than 5 stars then I totally would. She's so great and gentle with my kids. My kids hate going to the dentist and we've tried everything from force to bribery. Then we found Dr. Yassami and she made my life so much easier. Now I have happy and healthy kids. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Yassamy for over 5 years. As a result it is with deep regret that I write this review. Though I do not question her experience within the field of dentistry, I take issue with her ethics, management ability and style. Since acquiring the business from Dr. Goodreau, over 5 years ago, the practice has slowly shifted in a different direction. Dr. Yassamy has more persistently and aggressively attempted to sell additional procedures. There has consistently been some type of sales pitch during each of my cleanings. More concerning are the pressure tactics and exaggerations used by Dr. Yassamy and her staff to convince patients of unnecessary treatments. Dr. Yassamy has sadly deviated from Dr. Goodreau's practice, which acted in the best interest of the patient. She is motivated by greed and is an unethical individual. The final straw came this week. Two weeks prior I had called to schedule my appointment for my yearly cleaning. When I went in, I was pleased with the hygienist, who I felt did a through job. However, when I went up to the counter, after my cleaning, to schedule my next appointment, I was surprised by the amount that was owed. I was then informed, after the fact, that a special cleaning had been performed. I found this concerning, considering I had never been made aware of what was done to my teeth and the fact that I never gave authorization. When I brought the issue to Dr. Yassamy's attention, she was dismissive and defensive. She stated that it was the patients responsibility to ask what treatment would be performed and that it was her common practice to perform procedures that were "necessary" for her patients. I explained that when I called in to schedule my appointment, I clearly stated that it was for a cleaning. I also explained that my concern was that I was not made aware of the procedure that was done and that I would incur an additional cost. She once again dismissed me and went on to say that she had been practicing for over 17 years and had never received a complaint. Based on other reviews, I find that statement to be false. I will not be going back to Dr. Yassamy's practice, and I would like to warn perspective and current patients to exercise caution. read more

After my dentist of nearly 30 years passed away, I wasn't sure who to consider but knowing Fary through Rotary I thought I'd use her services when I lost a crown. I wasn't disappointed. Fary took the time to explain each procedure and did her very best to ensure that I was comfortable. Her attention to detail and compassionate chair-side manner is reflected by her staff, as well. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Fary Yassamy to anyone in need of a great dentist! read more
