Dr Bernstein is a godsend. I had a TERRIBLE experience in LA with placement of two veneers. It…read moreresulted in gum disease, discomfort, and poor aesthetics. It all came to a head when I was 8 months pregnant and one of them chipped. This time around I did my research and went with the best of the best for cosmetics. From the first time I met with Dr. Bernstein, I knew I was in the right place. There was no stress or anxiety -- I knew what was happening every step of the way. He immediately identified the error that resulted in the gum disease and referred me out for gum surgery before veneer replacement. Everything went great, I often get compliments on my teeth, and people are shocked when I tell them they are veneers because they look so natural. This was over 10 years ago. On Monday of this week, I suddenly had a small tooth chip from behind one of my veneers when I was eating. I was terrified that I was going to have to replace them and it unearthed the anxiety from the first time in LA. But no need to fear, Dr. Bernstein got me in straightaway to take a look. I assumed he would do an assessment and have me come back to get it fixed. Not so. He told me it would just take a little bonding, and proceeded to do it right then and there, free of charge. We had a great chat and caught up, then I was on my way. Again, the original placement was over 10 years ago and yet saw me no issue and with my charge! The office staff is all incredible, the space is gorgeous, the skill is expert, and the customer service is phenomenal. Could not recommend more -- and this coming from someone who went through a mediocre dentist the first time around. Don't hesitate to work with Dr. Bernstein and his team!!

I had a very disappointing experience with Dr. Sharon Albright's office, both with the dental work…read moreand with the front-desk staff. I came in as a new patient to have three damaged fillings repaired. Before scheduling, I specifically called to ask about insurance coverage because the practice was out of network. The explanation I received from the front desk led me to believe that my insurance would cover approximately 80% and that I would be responsible for the remaining balance and copay. Based on that conversation, I expected to pay roughly $500-$600. Instead, I later received a bill of approximately $1,500. When I asked the office staff to explain the charges and how the out-of-network coverage worked, they were dismissive and extremely rude. I ultimately had to figure out the insurance structure myself. A clear explanation upfront would have prevented much of the confusion. More importantly, the fillings were left uneven, creating a raised area that caused significant pain whenever I bit down. I remained in pain for approximately a month and had to return to the office twice to have the fillings adjusted. During the first follow-up, the dentist checked my bite and shaved the fillings, but the problem was not fully corrected, requiring another visit. During the second visit, while I was still experiencing pain from the dental work, the front-desk staff made me feel as though I should be grateful that the office was correcting work that should have been completed properly in the first place. They also treated me as though I might not pay my bill and would not allow me to see the dentist until payment was made. I understand requiring payment, but the way the situation was handled was unnecessarily disrespectful and humiliating. After this experience, I decided not to return. I later received a reminder for a previously scheduled cleaning, along with a warning that I would be charged if I did not cancel. The office only allowed cancellation by phone, adding another inconvenience to an already poor experience. Overall, I had to make two additional visits, experienced pain for about a month, received misleading information about my financial responsibility, and was treated very poorly by the front-office staff. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this practice.

Today, upon arrival for a noon appointment, I was told they no longer accepted my insurance. Not good. Last visit, while having my teeth cleaned, the hygienist banged (BANGED) into my head EVERY time she swiveled her chair to jot down the sounding measurements of my gums (usually there is an assistant there to do this while the hygenist calls out the numbers). She had no clue even though I KEPT SITTING LOWER and LOWER in my chair to avoid the inevitable and highly inconsiderate head bumping. SIX TIMES she banged my head. Not good. Then they informed me I'd need "deep cleaning" = 2 $600 sessions because my gums were in trouble. Not good. Today i waited 45 minutes for a cavity to be filled. I left at 45 minutes as I did not want to get a parking ticket (meter was 1hr) and thought 45 minutes was enough. ONLY ONE PERSON THERE APOLOGISED. DO NOT GO HERE. They're clearly going downhill fast.
