UNPROFESSIONAL RESPONSE FROM PLACE. ANOTHER REASON TO AVOID THIS COMPANY!!

Guadalupe G.

Came here for a consultation. Had the appointment at 9am and didn't see the dentist until 9:35am. Dentist came in, talked to me for five minutes. Didn't even put a glove on and did an exam. He went off the x-rays. Automatically told me he recommends veneers. Then the financing lady Jen came in and told me it would cost me $25,000! Thats insane! She said they aren't the cheapest or expensive place that does them. They act like their office is way better than anyone else and like their dentist is the best out there out of all the dentists. I definitely won't be back! UPDATE: been a while since my appointment and this is the response I got. NOT VERY PROFESSIONAL in my opinion. Another reason to avoid this place. Just because someone left them a bad review they attack that person. Not a professional place would do this.

First off, check out their Better Business Bureau profile. It's rated an F. Then ask yourself, should you trust an F rated business with your teeth/mouth? Back to one star. The responses from the team continue to be unprofessional. Facts: No one replied after I texted on 2/5 that I needed to reschedule due to a serious family medical emergency. I thought that was strange. No reply. Instead of being supportive or understanding what I received was radio silence. I called again about a week later on 2/15 and no answer. No text message reply either. I called again a month later on 3/16 during business hours and no response. What was I to believe? In addition, I previously texted asking about my claim on 1/11 and that text was ignored. I waited and provided ample opportunity before posting anything on yelp. Instead of helping me you "fired" me. Im a patient not an employee. Feel free to contact me if you are going through something similar.

I am truly sad to be leaving as a patient. Dr Kiyan has always been so amazing and kind. He really has changed my life for the better. I consider him a dental genius. Unfortunately his new employee Jen has ruined my experience. She doesn't feel like I am good enough to be his patient. I think it's because she keeps trying to sell me things I don't need. Now she has some type of resentment towards me because I've kindly declined. On a Tuesday I called to reschedule an appointment. On Wednesday I don't hear back. I waited until Friday to text that I was disappointed and I felt ignored as a patient. Finally, after waiting a week, I get a call back from Jen. As soon as I say "hello" I can tell she's pissed off. She very rudely asked what I wanted. I told her I had been waiting for a week to get a call back. She said "we I'm calling now. What do you want?". I told her I was shocked by her tone. I've worked in the medical field for a long time and I've never experienced this. Her response was "well if you don't like it you can apply as front desk.." I was extremely surprised by her attitude. She also said "I won't apologize for not calling because I'm not sorry", & "it's a free country you can go somewhere else". I had been a patient here for over 5 years so I know this is NOT the standard care they offer. I asked multiple times to speak to Dr Kiyan. She wouldn't even give me his email! " How is it possible for the patient not to be able to contact the Doctor?! This woman has no idea how to speak to people. She is beyond condescending and she will with out a doubt loose Dr Kiyan lots of business. Dr. Kiyan if you are reading this, please feel free to contact me. I know you've worked extremely hard to get where you are and I believe you would want your patients to have a good experience. Unfortunately I feel like this is my only way of reaching you.

I've been coming here for about 2 years, and Dr. Kiyan has been amazing! I was pregnant and about to deliver any day when I really needed a root canal. He moved everything around to do what he could to get me in, and I could not be more thankful! I was able to recover from giving birth without having to worry about my teeth or any pain/discomfort. Scheduling is always so easy, and they always work with me to get me an appointment ASAP. A MAJOR plus is they are covid cautious and require masks! He has also been amazing about not pressuring me into unnecessary dental treatments during cleanings. He gives me the best tips to prevent cavities for next visits as my teeth are prone to them. Best dentist I have been to yet. Thanks for everything!

Floss definitely knows how to make you feel at home. Amazing team and Dr.Kiyan is phenomenal. I was 100% comfortable after him explaining each step and what to expect. The technology used is top notch! I just fell in love with myself all over again. Thank you. Btw, I got a gum lift, gum lightening, teeth whitening, and 10 Porcelain Veneers.

This is how Floss treats their customers!

I'll let you read the email I received after complaining about "extra" charges, decide for yourself if this is the kind of place you want to trust. I never write reviews, but this seemed warranted and hopefully helps others.

Some might say, "it's a vibe" Those that talk like that would be correct but it's a bit more than just a vibe. There no condescending attitude or dental hygiene shaming that happens in most dental offices. Everyone here is professional, positive and friendly. Most importantly, when they are hands on, they are very gentle. I've had a lot of dental work done here, from crowns to veneers to my quarterly cleanings and I've always been extremely happy with my experience. In all honesty, I don't even remember who I was before I started coming to floss but I'm certainly happy with who I am!

Natalie S.

I have been coming here for 3 years and I absolutely love it. My teeth are always super clean and they're on top of keeping my teeth healthy and white. I suggest their annual treatment plan it's such a good deal. Thanks for always giving me the best care floss

This practice is absolutely professional from the time you come in to the time you leave. Dr Kiyan definitely knows how to select his staff wisely and it shows from my visitation(s). Initially, my brother was the only one who was doing the procedure for his veneer but after a few days there, I decided to get teeth whitening as well. Hopefully I can make some time to go back just to experience it all over again. Jennifer brings so much light to the office by being thorough and communicating with me. Mary ( I think that's her name ) that did the whitening procedure for me IS THE SWEETEST and so professional. Mary was constantly checking up on me every few minutes to make sure there was no discomfort and I appreciate that because I hate the dentist! After I was done, Dr.Kiyan came in to make sure I was happy and satisfied before letting me go ( which he didn't need to ). That just shows so much patient care. Thank you to the whole Floss Team

Monee R.

I contacted Floss after following their work for many months on Instagram. From photos alone you can see there is a significant difference between Dr. Kiyan's work and other dentist. After admiring their work from afar I contacted them and was offered a virtual consultation. The process to get in the chair was quick and easy. I had never been confident with my smile and I was determined to only visit someone who would care as much as I do about my teeth. I had 12 veneers placed and I can now smile with confidence! There is so much more to say but a picture is worth a thousand words so I'll post my before and after. Thanks Dr. Kiyan, and staff!

Karina M.

I've had a gummy smile my whole life and never knew there was a way to fix it. Until I was informed of a lip reposition surgery by my dentist, and I decided I needed to find someone I could trust. After doing research I found Dr. Mehdizadeh and set up a free consultation. He made me feel so comfortable as well as the before and after pictures on Instagram. This was a big decision, but I'm so happy with the results. 100% recommend getting this procedure. It's a life changer.

My experience started good but ended bad: I first went to floss around November 2020 to have a discolored tooth internally bleached. I had a great experience there, everyone is very nice and treats you very well. Dr. Kian was great in making sure I was happy with the results of the bleaching of the tooth. After that tooth was done I had a cleaning done at their office and the hygienist had some concerns about old fillings in 4 of my molars. Dr. Kian took a look and suggested that the fillings be redone with ceramic. I agreed and went through with having ceramic fillings put into the 4 teeth. Dr Kian did the drilling of my teeth but had someone else place and bond the fillings to my teeth. It's easily a two person job to place and bond these filling but he left one guy to do it. While placing one of the ceramic fillings I started to gain feeling in the tooth. I was in excruciating pain as the tooth was no longer numb and I could feel everything. I stopped him twice and told him how painful it was but he told me it would be over soon and kept working. After having the ceramic fillings put in I started experiencing pain in the teeth while chewing and extreme sensitivity to cold, that I had never experienced before coming to Floss. I couldn't even chew an apple without pain. I expressed this to Dr. Kian and he thought the bite alignment was off so we tried to correct the bite alignment a few times, but that did not help with the pain or cold sensitivity. So finally we decided to remove the fillings in 3 of the 4 teeth and put new ones in again himself. They didn't charge me to re-do the ceramic fillings, which I greatly appreciated. The pain subsided in the 3 teeth after being re-done but they are still more sensitive to cold than they used to be. After having the 3 teeth redone I noticed that the 4th tooth was also experiencing pain while chewing. I only ate very soft foods for months while trying to figure this out and have it fixed so I didn't realize that the 4th tooth was also affected until I started eating harder foods again. After many appointments at Floss and an overall bad experience I decided to go to a new dentist. The new dentist took a look at my X-rays and pointed out in one of the teeth with the ceramic fillings done at Floss had a gap in between the ceramic filling and my tooth and that it would have to be redone. The new dentist also suggested a crown or a root canal and a crown for the 4th tooth that was still causing me pain, because the nerve of the tooth is so irritated at this point. I'm just overall exhausted with the whole experience at Floss, I went to countless appointments, having to take time off work to fix a problem that I shouldn't have had to begin with, and spent $5,700 on 4 ceramic fillings 2 of which still have issues and have to be redone. I wish I never had the ceramic fillings done at Floss. I spent half of 2021 only eating soft, room temperature or warm foods, because anything cold or hard caused me a lot of pain. I just recently had a root canal done on the 4th tooth at my new dentist and I was talking with the specialist who was performing my root canal and he said Floss had hired him but that he left Floss after one day because he didn't think they were well prepared in his opinion.

This is where Jennifer sent her personal comments to me after the "Termination of Care" letter.

Kimberly S.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! I admit that I was tricked by all the fake before and after posts on Instagram! And I fell for the gimmicky pics with "D" list celebrities. So I agreed to pay over $16,000 for 7 upper veneers and 1 crown that previously had the root canal done plus whitening and a night guard. (Apparently Dr. Kiyan doesn't know what a night guard is because he gave me Clear Correct Aligners instead.) My insurance had already approved the crown replacement through another dentist but I decided to go with Floss and get them all done at once so they would match. For some reason Floss could never submit the claim correctly to the insurance for payment. So, that turned out to be an additional charge out of pocket. After the trimming down of the original teeth, I was sent home with a temporary one piece "flipper" secured in place. I was told that the permanent veneers would be ready in about 2 weeks. The temporary appliance was uncomfortable and smelly because water and food particles would get stuck between it and my gums. Then about 4 weeks into wearing it, it broke in half and fell out. Every day I called to see when the permanents would be ready and finally after about 6 weeks they were. Below are pictures of what I looked like when I had to go to work without teeth because the temporary fell out. Btw, I am a Flight Attendant and see many people every day. So about 3 months after getting the permanent veneers, one fell out! Not only could they not see me to fix it for over 3 weeks but they charge $180. What?! I just paid $16,000 and it falls out and I have to pay to get it fixed? I figured if I have to pay, I will go to my regular dentist and besides he can probably see me sooner. So, I did but after looking at it he would not touch it and reccomended that I just pay the $180. I went back to Floss where the dental assistant, not the dentist, fixed it. Then about 6 months later another one fell out! I mean, I have to go to work looking like this, without teeth!! This time when I called Floss they made an arrangement to get me in quick but before my appointment I recieved an email titled "Termination of Care" in which they describe a breakdown of trust and respect and that a therapeutic relationship no longer exists! What!? They don't trust and respect me? All I did was pay a lot of money for their trash services!! Then, another email that was from the same person, Jennifer, who signed the letter from her personal account that says, "Say goodbye to another nightmare" What is going on? I don't understand? Is this a professional dental office? Why would she call me "another nightmare"? The next day, I obviously did not go to the appointment so I got a message wanting to know why I didn't show up. What? Why would I go back to a dental office that sent me a letter saying they don't trust or respect me and called me a nightmare in an email? I have seen many other bad reviews on here that some how get removed. And, if they can't get them removed, this Alex just slanders the reviewer. So, I can't wait to see what she has to say about me!

Dr. Kiyan is legit! I actually had braces when I was younger and then was too cool in high school to wear my retainers...which resulted in my teeth getting pretty messed up again by the time I turned 30 haha. I found out about Floss through a friend who recently had her teeth straightened by Dr. Kiyan so I figured maybe it's time I committed to getting my teeth straightened again. I figured this experience would be similar to every other boring Dentist/orthodontist office experience, but upon my first visit I soon discovered that Dr. Kiyan's office is like a modern, hip-orthodontist office with a super friendly staff that's fun to talk to haha. Dr. Kiyan himself is also really easy to talk to and has been great about answering the 500 questions I have every time I come in to pick up new teeth alignment trays haha. He really knows his stuff and explains to you all of your options during your first visit. He is super honest and upfront about what to expect with the plan you choose (straightness of teeth, bite, what will work best/look best for your facial features), which I really appreciated. I ended up doing 3 months of braces (to save some time and jump start my teeth alignment) followed by a year of Clear Correct. A few other things to note that might be helpful in making your decision to come here... 1. The staff made it really easy to accommodate my schedule (I live kind of far and work even farther) so that was cool 2. They use this high tech teeth scanning technology to get super accurate 3D imaging for your teeth instead of doing a physical teeth mold. From what I read this is a more accurate method to getting your teeth straight. 3. Floss is also a dental office so you can get your teeth cleaned there too! read more

I just finished up 18 months of Invisalign and at the end of my treatment, I realized I wasn't thrilled with the shape of my eye teeth. The braces moved them as much as possible, but it just wasn't a shape that I was happy with, so I decided go invest in bonding to fill in the gaps of my pointy canines. So I looked up the best cosmetic orthodos in San Diego, and after consulting with two docs, I knew FLOSS was it! Their offices are immaculate and their staff is phenomenal! I'm so grateful with the outcome of my cosmetic bonding that I highly recommend them to everyone for ALL of your dental needs! read more

Highlight: They Love Learning, Too. Experience: A smile holds a lot more than a simple hello. There is an entire process to the mechanics of our mouth and how we use our teeth. Considerations: At Floss Dental Studio, education comes before any procedure takes place. The team explained the physiology of teeth in easy to follow language. Additionally, it helped when they explained the steps that it will take for a smile to stand out. What helps even more is knowing that the team at Floss Dental Studio is constantly learning, right along with you. Rather than settling with their expertise, it is exciting to hear what the team has learned since the last visit. It is encouraging to hear the team get excited about what is available as techniques and materials improve. read more

A great thing keeps getting better and better. Because of the pandemic, I took more time off than I'm proud of between dental visits. Yet when I went back just recently, it more than confirmed every good feeling I had about floss. Love this place! Dr. Kiyan is brilliant, passionate, patient and relatable. He truly takes time to answer questions and make sure you understand and are comfortable with everything related to your care. And he's hilarious! The one time I went and got a second opinion, the experience sent me practically running back to floss to do everything they recommended. Not only was Dr. Kiyan's advice spot on, the office vibe compared to the second-opinion place was infinitely better. Huge kudos to the new team! I liked them all, especially Sara, the hygienist. For one thing, we both had a good laugh when I told her nicely that I don't like being chatted up. She respected that. For another, she is a good mix of friendliness and authority. She knows her stuff and expects me/inspires me to take even better care of my teeth. Super-thankful to have Dr. Kiyan and his new team in my corner.

After my first consultation with Dr Kiyan I knew he was the person I could trust to transform my smile. He's extremely knowledgeable, experienced, honest and personable. He came up with a personalized plan including intensive whitening and 10 veneers to achieve the best smile while still looking natural. The entire process took 2.5 months to complete and I couldn't be happier with the results. The entire journey was painless and I even looked forward to every appointment thanks to the incredible team.

After nearly 4 different dentist offices, I'm so happy I finally found one that I will go to permanently. I had a superb experience here twice now. The first one was a consul w/ Dr. Mehdizadeh. He is so genuine, patient, knowledgeable and informative. He made a point to ask several times if I had any questions. I appreciated everything he did during my first visit. Yesterday, I had a cleaning w/ Amanda. It was the best cleaning I've ever had! She's very skilled at dentistry. I appreciated how she really focused on scraping every tooth to ensure each one was perfectly clean. They even give you a warm cloth to wipe your face at the end of your appointment followed by the best chapstick ever on your way out :). read more

Dr. Mehdizadehis incredible. I had to get a front tooth extracted due to a crack. Being a front tooth, I wanted to make sure I found the best option, and I'm confident I did. During my consultation, Dr. Mehdizadehis thoroughly went through my treatment options and explained the entire procedure, timeline, costs and never rushed through anything. It's clear that he stays up to date with modern dentistry and techniques. His staff is also beyond helpful. My schedule has been a mess, and the staff has been able to work through everything that has come up. The extraction was simple and painless and am actually looking forward to the rest of the procedure. Floss is completely different than standard dentistry's that are run like a business. At Floss, the emphasis is put on you and only you. Hands down best dental experience. read more

I've had various TERRIBLE dentist/orthodontist, so when a close and trusted friend recommended Floss to me, I was up to try it. I am SO HAPPY I did! The staff is very friendly, the office is bright, clean, well kept and has a cozy feel to it. I had crowns another dentist office had put on a couple teeth, which had fallen out not even 2 years later. When I came in to have them redone, I could tell Floss was going to do a great job because the temporary piece didn't fall out, like it did at the other office! I've also had teeth cleanings here, and minor fillings. Never have I felt like I was being taken advantage of and I definitely feel like everyone at Floss cares and are highly qualified. Definitely try them out if you're in the area and looking for a good, honest, dentist office! read more

Where can I begin? I was told about Floss from a friend of mine who had gorgeous teeth/smile and she told me she got veneers, whitening and some other stuff done at Floss. So I looked into Floss, plus I needed a new place to go to. Even though I don't live in La Jolla, I decided to just go and get a cleaning and see how I liked it. This was roughly 5 years ago. And I'm still going there! I know that I have nothing to stress about when I am with them. I feel and know from the years now that I am well taken care of and they all know what they are doing and feel I am in good hands and safe. I never have to worry if they don't know how to do something. It feels good to not have to get second opinions and feel wishy washy on where to go or get what done and are they good enough and is the price right? They all really work with you, are there to help you with all your questions and personal situations. I have no need to look elsewhere and I can confidently recommend or just gloat a bit about where I go. I am a happy Floss patient. Thank you! read more

Do not come to this office unless you want to get scammed. I went in for a consultation to ask a professional what I needed for my gummy smile. The doctor recommended a lip repositioning. It sounded like all my problems would be fixed and I asked the doctor "so I don't have to cover my mouth anymore when I laugh?" He said "nope!" Well I still have to cover my mouth when I laugh because it didn't work whatsoever. AFTER the fact I was told that over 50% of cases are not successful! No where during my consultation did he mention that 3 out of 5 lip repositionings or more than 50% are UNSUCCESSFUL! If I would've known the risks I WOULD'VE NEVER BOOKED THE PROCEDURE! Instead, they hid this information from their patient to make some quick money. Not to mention their communication is HORRIBLE! I tried getting help about my case 3 times and no one would call me back. Then finally they scheduled me an appointment to go in and speak with the office manager. She said she would talk to the doctor and help my case out because she knew I was a student that saved up for 1.5 years for this and was really sad about the surgery not working. She mentioned maybe they could offer a different procedure since this didn't help and said she would get back to me the next day. It took over 2 weeks to hear back about my case and that's with me texting/calling to check in throughout. Turns out I waited for nothing because she called back basically saying there's nothing they could do and that apparently the doctor wrote in his notes that he mentioned 3/5 are unsuccessful. This is a LIE. It was not mentioned in our consult yet they documented that it was anyways, which is negligent and unethical. Because again, if I would've known the risk of failure was so high, I would've never booked it. Then she proceeded to SHAME ME by saying "Well patients usually do their research before booking a procedure." I responded by telling her that I came to their office for a PROFESSIONAL opinion on what will work best for me, all patient education and ALL THE RISKS should be communicated to the patient, that is what a competent doctor does. She then rambled on about her failed liposuction, which was completely irrelevant to my case, and not to mention inappropriate and unprofessional. I asked for a partial refund and got denied. I didn't want to leave a negative review because I hate doing that, which is why I waited until I heard back from them before I did. But they gave me no choice, my experience with this doctor was beyond unprofessional, I was completely taken advantage of. Don't get a lip repositioning with this doctor, he expects you to do his job for him. Do your own research. And if you do decide to go with him, at least don't pay in cash because they'll totally scam you. I learned the hard way. Hopefully other doctors educate their patients on each and every procedure, as well as the risks involved, rather than just telling them what they want to hear to make a quick profit. They took an oath for a reason, they need to be held to higher standards. read more

Before I came to Floss I was really upset with my smile and insecure for the first time. I had gotten braces as a teen to close my gap but it re-opened, plus my dentist at the time shaved two of my teeth when it was discussed to possibly get veneers only as an adult. I felt botched :( After a lot of research to prevent a similar situation , I decided to come to Floss a year ago . During my consultation I got a detailed plan for my smile goal and a payment plan. My treatments included getting Invisalign to fix my bite so my gap could close properly. I was also able to whiten them at the same time by adding a gel to my trays . During that process I got a gum lift as well in order to fit the veneers I planned to get( 4 in total). A year later, I finished with Invisalign and my wisdom teeth started forming. I got all 4 removed at the same time under anesthesia. After that I finally got my 4 veneers. As you can see in the picture my natural teeth shape/ smile was kept , which was a big must for me . I wanted them to look as natural as possible . I definitely would recommend Floss for anyone who wants to invest in their smile and get any surgical procedures . I think for most, situations like this can be extremely nerve racking . My gum lift and wisdom teeth removal healing process was quick and pain free . I surprisingly didn't take any of the prescribed pain killers after my wisdom extraction. I only took ibuprofen if I started to get a small headache . A big thank you to Dr. Kiyan and the rest of Floss . read more

I started following Floss on Instagram, swooning over the beautiful restoration and veneer work that Dr Kiyan was performing. After a few months, I decided to take the leap and contact them. I filled out the online questionnaire and that same day I was in their chair. My experience from day 1 has been first class. Before Floss, I had never had any sort of dental work (except braces as a child). The Floss staff made me feel comfortable and confident in my decision to go forward with a gum lift, whitening and veneers. They offered a great financing option and the whole process to my new smile took just a couple of months. To say my new smile is incredible is an understatement! I've been back for cleanings since last summer and the Floss team continues to impress. The work they do is life changing for many. For me, they took something I was self conscious about and gave me a new confidence. You cant put a price on that. Thank you Floss Team!!! read more

She checks in throughout and remembers you're a person in the chair, not just teeth. I really appreciated being talked through parts that might pinch, vibrate, feel pressure, etc. They're clearly a busy clinic but I never felt she was rushing or annoyed. I really think this is a great place to go especially if you have fear or uncertainty about the dentist. I also would recommend Max if you're nervous about deep cleanings. I asked them to put him as my preferred hygienist, along with Ayah since she was great with my wife. Delilah did a fine job but everyone has different preferences and I just felt better with Max's approach. He explained everything, told me when I could close my mouth. provided a diagram marked with where I can't floss for 10 days due to antibiotics, provided verbal encouragement, and was also skillful at the injections needed to prep for my fillings after the cleaning). The dentist is not cheap but I felt I got my money's worth with all the attention and time taken. Parking is easy early in the morning, although it does cost money.

UPDATE: THEY DELETED MY REVIEW ON GOOGLE AND BLOCKED BOTH MY ACCOUNTS ON INSTAGRAM! Confirms how much they care about Instagram (visit their page to see what I mean. They rush your case to take pictures with people who have a lot of followers.) I would've been more than happy to edit or delete my review IF THEY PROFESSIONALLY reached out and fixed my teeth. I feel like that's only fair. But I promise you, floss, I will not go away til I'm happy with my teeth. I spent over 15k with you guys. If you keep deleting, I will keep reposting, reposting, and reposting. I will reach out to the BBB and do what I need to do. Your work is great only if you apply it to everyone. I can't believe they blocked me. I'm livid It's been almost 5 months since I've gotten my permanent veneers, something I've been wanting and saving up for quite some time. I started with Floss by laser whitening my teeth to speed up my veneer process. After that I received my first set of temporaries, in which I was displeased of the results. I came in for my check up to address what I wasn't happy about and was told that I needed to do a gum lift to make my smile more symmetrical. I did end up getting the lift and we proceeded on making me 2nd set of improved temporaries. When it came time to chose my color for my teeth, they didn't have the color swatch to show me for the specific color they recommended. I was told the color was bright but natural, so I trusted them and went with their recommendation. When my permanent veneers came in they ended up not fitting, in which I got ANOTHER set of temporaries ( now my 3rd set). In making my 2nd set of permanent veneers I asked to go lighter than what we originally chose with the first set and was told the color we picked was white enough and that I should stick with it (they still didn't have that color swatch to show me). With each set of temporaries I have addressed that every set had a tilt and the teeth didn't match. I even have it in a email. I was told multiple times to not worry about the tilt and just focus on how it fit in my mouth. I finally got my permanent teeth in January and have been trying so hard to accept the outcome. Ive even gone in twice since then to have them adjust and file down some teeth to improve my smile and make it look more symmetrical, yet still not to my satisfaction. When I asked about it on my last appointment I was told that "there's nothing we can do because of how the tooth aligns with the bottom teeth". That would've been something that should have been addressed during my temporaries and the concerns I had with them. I spent my hard earned money on something I can never whiten and is asymmetrical. I feel like my case was rushed, overlooked, and unorganized. Not to mention dealing with their shady billing department and being charged for random things that I was told my insurance covered. Til this day I think they were trying to charge me for the retainers (for whitening and veneers, didn't know you needed to have) I have yet to receive an itemized bill for the charges. This has been such a traumatic experience for me to the point of being so ashamed of my smile, that I try and hide it. read more

I went there because it was the one with the best reviews close to my home and I have not been disappointed. I have not been to a dentist for 7 years so I kind of covered everything that can be done by a dentist (cosmetic excluded): Cavities, wisdom teeth extraction, crowns, onlay, inlay, fillings... From now I'll go twice a year ! First the team: They are really amazing. Very nice and kind, always gentle and caring. Dr Kiyan is very nice and takes the time to explain everything as clearly as possible. The office is very clean and seems brand new. Very modern equipment too. The cares: it went very well, without any pain and gave me satisfaction. It was nice also to get some smoothies after the wisdom teeth extraction :) The only "negative" thing was a root canal that had to be done unexpectedly after a cavity treatment (before the placing of a crown). The cleaning product went through the tooth and induced inflammation in the canal. I was just unlucky, these kind of things happen. But Dr Kiyan always found the time to check on me during this "incident". By the way you will have to go to a specialist for the root canal (the one recommended by Floss was very good). Concerning the prices, I have no comparison. With everything that had to be done for me it ended up being quite expensive, but the prices seem about the same than what I could hear from other people. But I knew of the exact cost from the beginning (I just had to add the root canal which was unexpected and inexpensive). I appreciated that after the first "check-up" appointment (with X-Ray and cleaning), Dr Kiyan went over the treatment plan in detail and made the calculation to optimize the cost regarding to my insurance (meaning splitting the cares over 2 years since I went in December). When I hear all the stories around me about how things went wrong with dentists (my wife ended up at the ER !), I feel lucky that I went to Floss ! PS: Sorry for any potential "bad english". I am not native english. read more

My experience with FLOSS! Me and my wife decided to receive dental care from Floss after being referred by a friend, and since they were in our insurances network, we decided to give them a try. The level of care I got was great, however, my problem with Floss is that they took advantage of my trust. When I received and agreed to my treatment plan, I assumed that the price I was quoted was my Insurances network price. However, after I paid my bill, my Insurance sent me an invoice stating that my cost of care should be reduced by 1000's of dollars. So when I contacted Floss to get reimbursed for my over payment, I was told that they were no longer in the network, and that the price I paid was actually correct. This was very upsetting because the people at Floss did not care enough about their patients to inform them that they were no longer network, and that I could have saved thousands of dollars by having the work done elsewhere (the morally correct thing to do). In the end, Floss cares more about the money than the patient. In addition, I was told multiple times by my insurance company that they were still in the network when I received my treatment, and there is no reason for them not to honor their contract. My Insurance is now investigating these claims. In addition, I am very disturbed by Floss' response to my wife's review. In a private message to my wife, they had the nerve to call her a liar. My wife is the most honest person I have ever met, she is a scientist, a professor at UCSD, a mother, and an amazing wife. What she wrote is exactly how she honestly feels and that is what reviews are for. Floss is deceitful, disrespectful, and have acted very Immaturely. read more

CAREFUL WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!! We are sooooo disappointed with Floss!! I normally do not post reviews, but hopefully this one helps other people to go through the same that my husband, my friend and I experienced. I will try to be brief: 3 people, 3 bad experiences: - Myself: I was pregnant at that time, so no X-rays. The doctor found 2 or 3 cavities (I had never had one in my entire life!!). Decide to wait until I delivered my baby to have X-rays done and do the cavities. 2 years later, I go to another dentist. They do X-rays and found NOTHING!!! The cavities were not there any more!! Do cavities appear during pregnancy and resolve after delivering the baby? Lol. I could not believe it... - My husband: He had to get some work done URGENTLY (now, I am not sure if that was true). He spent soon much money to get it done. Then found out that they charged us more than they should!!! We received 4 letters from our insurance saying that we should have paid around 2000$ less!!?!? Try to talk to them. They never called us back. Go to talk in person and then they looked at the problem. Told us that although our insurance said that, they got out of the insurance net of doctors and that is why they charged us so much. Talk to the insurance, told us they were still in the net by the time my husband got the work done. Nowadays, still fighting for the money they own us. - Our friend: Got invisalign here. At the end of the treatment, the dentist told him that there was one more thing to do and check with the insurance how much my friend had to pay out of pocket. My friend then agreed. They proceed and the bill was 400$ more than what they told him. He complained, but nothing. read more

floss provides an extraordinary experience--by far the most pleasant I've had in my years going to the dentist. Ryan is extremely friendly and does everything possible to ensure that questions are answered completely and promptly. You will feel welcomed and comfortable as you prepare for your dental work. The office itself is incredibly clean and very aesthetically pleasing. It is truly unique among other offices out there. The scheduling is setup so that each patient's care and concern are the primary focus; only one patient is scheduled for each time slot so that Dr. Mehdizadeh can give them his full attention. He has patiently and meticulously answered all of my concerns... Every time I leave the office I am completely satisfied for his attention to detail, the depth in which he describes my dental status, and genuine concern for my well-being. As I've had poor experiences in the past, I highly value the level of professionalism and concern Dr. Mehdizadeh gives his patients. He continually makes sure I am comfortable while he performs top-notch work, and I couldn't be happier with his work. They are upfront about all pricing, and it is very reasonable. You will not be given hidden charges--they will make sure that pricing matches those given by their estimates before anything is actually performed. I would recommend this business to anybody looking for a caring, friendly, and professional dental visit. I guarantee that you will be beyond satisfied with your visit. read more

This review has been long overdue. I am extremely appreciative of the entire team's dedication and the expertise of Dr. Kiyan. In 2019, I traveled to Mexico to have veneers done, but unfortunately, I ended up with 12 poorly placed veneers that left me in bad shape. Realizing the complexity of my case, I sought a knowledgeable doctor to fix the issues, and after thorough research and consultations across Southern California, I chose to have a consultation with Dr. Kiyan. From the very first consult visit, I felt confident in Dr. Kiyan's capabilities. He showed me multiple cases similar to mine, which was crucial for my decision-making process. The consultation was comprehensive, and Dr. Kiyan took the time to explain the treatment process in a way that was easy for me to understand. Additionally, the team assisted me in finding a suitable payment plan, making the cost very manageable with monthly payments. It has now been approximately one year since I received my final veneers, and I couldn't be happier with the result. My appearance has greatly improved, and my confidence has soared - I can't stop smiling! If you are considering a new dental office, I highly recommend checking out this office. I have already referred many family members and friends here. My heartfelt thanks to the entire team at Floss and Dr. Kiyan for transforming my smile and overall dental experience. read more

I am FINALLY writing this review which is long over due. In college (3 years ago) I chipped my front tooth (which is an understatement because more than half of my tooth was gone and a nerve was exposed). I had my regular dentist fix it to the best of his ability (which was just okay). The bonding would never hold and always fell off just about every 2 months, leaving me to look like somewhat of a hillbilly. I moved to San Diego less than a year ago and knew i needed to find a dentist ASAP so I could have it fixed, as the bonding was sure to fall off soon. I came across Floss who was the only office with hours that could accommodate me and my new job. The first time I went in they laid out all my options for my tooth - very informative. I picked the option that was affordable to me and my moving budgets. We scheduled the date for them to fix it which was at 6 pm. The appointment went until 9 pm (much later than any office would stay open for a customer). Dr. Kiyan and Ryan stayed there as I "nit-picked" the shape, color and thickness of my tooth. They are my heroes! My tooth has not shown any indication of falling off (thank God) and I have to say my tooth has never looked so real and perfect since it's been chipped! I will def be posting my before and after photos because what Floss did for me is essentially a miracle! Thank you so much! read more

I finally finished my teeth! I had 2 dental implants placed a few years back, and after going on 3 consults I decided Floss dental was the place for me. Dr Kiyan was really thorough about what needed to happen, and he covered points that I hadn't even thought about and it wasn't brought up at the other 2 offices I visited. I think I really made the right choice. Before they started the actual dental work, they made models of my teeth. About a week later, on my models Dr Kiyan showed me an actual preview of what the final teeth would look like. Once I gave the green light on the shape of the teeth, they made me temporary teeth in the shape of the models so I could "test drive" the bite and eating. I did that for about 2 weeks and then when I told them I was happy with the bite and how the teeth felt, they brought me back for another set of more accurate models. I stayed in the temporary teeth another 2 weeks and then I had the permanent teeth put in. The bite feels perfect and they feel like real teeth. Overall, it was a really smooth experience. Dr Kiyan is really particular about how the teeth should fit and look and I really appreciated the attention to detail. The assistants are SO SO nice. After a few appointments, you feel like family at the dental office! This office is definitely worth the investment! read more

Wow...This dental office is just....the BEST!!!!! I've had the best dental experience ever! After yelping, online surfing, and making some trips to orthodontists in San Diego, searching for a VERY long time to straighten my teeth, the prices and the experiences just didn't work out for for a me. I personally experienced the BEST of the BEST!! This is the place where I would want ALLLL my friends and family to go. The dental office is modern, trendy, clean, welcoming, and I never thought I would say this...but it makes you want to stay longer!!!!...(I've never experienced this before..) As all the other yelpers said, this appointment is ALL ABOUT YOU. Dr. Kiyan explains thoroughly and makes sure all your questions are answered in a patient's perspective (paperwork, dental process, taking care of your teeth even after your visit). He is updated with the latest dental resources and news, offering you quality dental care WITH the best price. They make you think, "Is this even possible???!?!" Ryan and Dr. Kiyan offer you their full attention, food, coffee, and the BEST BEST BEST BEST BEST dental experience. Thank you Dr. Kiyan and Ryan for coming to San Diego!!!!!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you so much~ read more

Dr. Kiyan and Ryan are the best! My wife found a great deal online at dealmeintoday.com for teeth cleaning, X-rays, exam and in office teeth whitening. I will be honest, I was skeptical at first. First, I haven't been to the Dentist in years because I HATE the Dentist and the way they operate. They sit you down in a chair and just do what they need to do and don't really explain anything. Then they recommend something else but never explain in layman terms what they are talking about. Dentist are COLD! From the moment I walked it, Ryan greeted me and made me feel at home. Dr. Kiyan was working on my wife's broken front tooth when I walked in and by the time I finished the paperwork for me to be seen, he was showing her the new tooth. WOW... it came out better than her previous Dentist's work. It is PERFECT! Second, I sat down and Dr. Kiyan explained step by step what he was doing. I found out so much about the human mouth and teeth. I walked away with a super clean mouth and a wealth of knowledge. This Dentist is my wife's and I new Dentist and there is no looking back. This place rocks! Oh, by the way, did I mention I hate the Dentist? But I love this one! read more

After many hopeless consultations around Southern California I found floss. I knew I needed an expert to help get my years of neglect with my smile back under control while still remaining under the radar and age appropriate for being 65. Dr. Kiyan has completely changed my life and my confidence with his beautiful work. I had many procedures, including porcelain veneers/crowns and a few other gum surgeries, done here and each one was completed with expertise and ease. Every step of the way was smooth and the entire team is there with you if you need anything. I do believe it is the job of a patient to also ask questions throughout the process to make sure you are on the same page with your provider. My smile looks just as good as when I got it done in 2020 with no problems only compliments everywhere I go. I plan to start my lower next month and am SO excited to complete my smile. Dr. Kiyan is a magician and I would recommend him and his team to anyone looking for cosmetic or general dentistry in San Diego! read more

My experience with floss and Dr.Kiyan Mehdizadeh was the best dental experiences I've ever had from the in depth consultation to today I couldn't be any happier how thing worked out. My mouth was a disaster far from perfect and there were alot of complications through out the 5 different surgeries I had and getting the perfect fitment but that's expected what sets floss apart from others is how the complications were handle and how I felt a sense of priority Everytime I had an issue or was in pain they always had me covered and got me in a timely manner. The quality of work and craftsmanship is on another level my teeth were designed exactly to my liking and the material is solid I grind my teeth occasionally eat whatever i want, no more soft foods, even took a few shots to the mouth and not even a chip and I'm confident to say if I ever had an issue down the road my teeth are covered and in good hands THANK YOU SO MUCH DR.KIYAN M. YOUVE CHANGED MY WAY OF LIFE IM FOREVER GRATEFUL. Robert G. read more

FIVE STAR SERVICE DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THE STAFF AND SERVICE AT FLOSS! From the day I inquired about their services Jennifer was AMAZING! she was informative, helpful and the sweetest person i have every met! When i went in for my first appointment i met Michaelene and she was so great as well! She even entertained my husband who thinks he's a comedian but we all know he isn't funny lol. Dr. Kiyan is a sweetheart and compl professional! They know what they are doing here! I can't forget Sarah who assisted me in my dental care as well. They even called and checked on me after my procedures, gave me advice on pain management AND wish me happy holidays! I do have a few more procedures and am actually looking forward to them because of this great staff. Again, huge thank you to every one at Floss for making this experience flawless! shalesha kennedy-trujeque read more

Best cosmetic dentist in all of San Diego!! I am so happy with the beautiful veneers that Dr. Kiyan has given me. My smile had never looked better! I can not explain how wonderful he is, a true talent! I can not begin to tell you how long and hard I have looked for a cosmetic dentist that trusted and felt comfortable with. Everyone, look no further Dr. Kiyan is your guy!!! Every step of the process he explains so thoroughly and answers any and all questions! Anyone who knows about veneers or wants them knows how detail oriented and skilled the dentist must be, and it has been a full time job to find someone in San Diego who is as gifted as Dr. Kiyan. I found floss through a friend and a yelp search. Each and every time I look at my smile I am so happy to have met Dr. Kiyan. Ten Stars!!! Thank you Dr. Kiyan!!! read more

What an office! I never thought I would find a dentist here in San Diego that I liked. I figured I would give Dr. Mehdizadeh a try after hearing about him through a co-worker. The office is clean and so state of the art. This office is so thought out. Everything that they did from the x-ray machine, to the exam, and the photography they do is so impressive. I told my wife that if I did not find a dentist I like soon I would start going back to Seattle. Dr. Mehdizadeh was a blessing. He saved me from trekking back to Seattle and he helped me with all my dental needs. They go into great depth to explain everything that is going on with your mouth and go into depth about options to fix it. Floss is just a phenomenal office! Read the other reviews, they all speak the truth about Dr. Mehdizadeh. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Kiyan in the past, only due to moving away from the area. I've had always loved his work, and what a perfectionist he is towards everyone! Dr. Kiyan is super friendly, compassionate and professional. His staff follows an extremely close second. The dentist is not my favorite thing to do but I know I'm in great hands with Dr. Kiyan and his staff. The office in La Jolla is immaculate and state of the art. The music adds a nice feel. The close up imaging of your teeth on an Apple computer puts an entirely different opinion about your teeth. A smile is worth a million dollars. Thank the lord it didn't cost that! I am glad I have finally moved closer to Floss and have a beautiful smile now thanks to Dr. Kiyan and his wonderful staff. Five Stars all around! read more

Dr. Kiyan's office was recommended to me by a good friend. I had noticed my friend's smile was brighter and aligned. His new smile had given him the confidence he needed, and it showed. I told my friend that I didn't smile as much anymore. That is when he told me Dr. Kiyan had transformed his teeth and that he felt so much better. I started getting my treatment a few months back. I can honestly tell that taking that first step to see Dr. Kiyan was the best decision I have made in a long time. I am in sales but I wasn't smiling to my customers. Thank you so much Dr. Kiyan and staff! Did I mention he has the most friendly staff. Daniel was very professional, caring, patient and friendly? I was in and out of his office in no time. read more

I knew I was going to need a lot of dental work before coming into Floss. Before during and leaving my free consultation I knew this was where I wanted to correct my smile. I had already had a bridge put in 11 years ago that was not done as well as it could of been somewhere else. I felt very comfortable and confident in the staff at Floss and knew this was going to work out. The staff is honestly all so kind and very helpful. The Dr has a great eye for detail. He really knows what he is doing and is truly determined to give you the best smile perfect for you. The entire timeline of the whole process was very accurate and we stayed right on schedule. I am so happy I was able to fix my smile here at Floss. I am forever grateful. read more

Visiting floss dental was one of the best decisions I've ever made, Dr. Mehdizadeh changed my smile and life forever. Everywhere I go people give me compliments about my teeth, the veneer translucently looks so authentic and flawless! This no-pressure practice is passionate about educating their customers, you can feel their staff truly cares about you. I was really impressed with how floss dental has been able to work within my budget to develop a long-term treatment plan, my oral health has never been better. I have been to many different dentists all over America and this is a well-deserved review for the highest quality dental practice you can find. Thank you floss, I am more than grateful for your services! read more

I came to Dr. Kiyan in 2018 looking for help after receiving some poor dental work that was causing major health problems. After my consultation I felt so at ease moving forward with my plan. Dr. Kiyan answers any questions you have at your consultation and does it in a way you can understand and follow along. I received a gum lift, multiple implants and veneers here. My smile, to this day, looks as good as it did the day I finished. My smile used to be something I hid, but now you will never see me not smiling. Haha. The entire team has made these past 3 years of going to the dentist something I look forward to. If you are looking for a team of experts in the dental field. Dr. Kiyan and his team are the BEST. read more
