Outstanding Dental Experience - Highly Recommended!
I was recently referred to Dr. Gevorg George Karayan, DDS, by a friend after sharing my frustration with the outrageous price quoted for a root canal elsewhere. My previous dentist, whom I've been seeing for years, does not perform root canals but recommended the specialist at her dental clinic. While I had used him before at a reasonable price (thanks to my dentist's request for a discount), this time, the cost was shockingly high enough to fund an entire vacation to Thailand, the Philippines, or Mexico, including flights, hotels, food, and even the dental treatment itself. It simply made no sense to pay such an excessive amount.
When I told another friend about the situation, she recommended her own dentist and shared how much she had paid for her root canal--which was significantly lower than my previous experience. After checking reviews, I noticed a mix of glowing praise and a few concerning comments, which initially caused me some anxiety. However, I decided to trust my friend's recommendation--and I am beyond happy that I did!
From the moment I walked into Dr. Karayan's office, I was met with kindness, professionalism, and a warm atmosphere. Yes, I had to wait a little longer than expected, but that happens everywhere, so it wasn't a big deal. Dr. Karayan thoroughly examined my tooth and referred me to his specialist, Dr. Henry, along with his incredible assistant technician, Izabella. Throughout the entire procedure, they continuously checked on me to ensure I was comfortable. Their skill, patience, and attention to detail were remarkable.
The front desk staff was equally wonderful--friendly, supportive, and highly professional. A true testament to their integrity was when I forgot to bring my payment, and Dr. Karayan reassured me, saying, "No worries, just bring it next time!" I was genuinely taken aback by his trust and generosity, but of course, I immediately went to the bank and returned with my payment.
Now, addressing some of the negative reviews: I noticed that a few people complained about the wait time and the staff speaking Armenian amongst themselves. Honestly, this criticism is completely unfair. We live in a multicultural society, and as long as they communicate clearly with patients in English, there's absolutely no issue. In fact, during my session, hearing them converse in Armenian while passing equipment was calming--almost hypnotic! It made the entire experience even more soothing.
The only issue I had, and the reason I may need to look elsewhere in the future, is that they don't accept credit cards, only cash. While their prices are by far the most reasonable I've found, I simply can't always afford to pay large amounts in cash upfront. If they ever start accepting credit cards, they would be my go-to dental provider for everything!
I am beyond satisfied with my experience at Dr. Karayan's office and highly recommend him and his team to anyone in need of quality dental care. I will most definitely be returning for any future needs.
Thank you, Dr. Karayan, Dr. Henry, Izabella, and the entire staff, for your outstanding care and professionalism! read more
