Dr. Jack Ohanesian was there exactly when I needed help the most. I spent the entire night in…read moreunbearable pain, my tooth was pounding through my head, and I didn't get a single minute of sleep. No pain medication helped, and it was clear the tooth was badly infected. First thing Monday morning, I searched for dental offices open on holiday (Martin Luther King), and his office was the closest available. From the very first moment, I felt taken care of. Rosa at the front desk was incredibly kind and compassionate, she truly understood my situation and welcomed me in immediately. The entire experience was exceptional. I felt no pain from the injections and no pain during the extraction itself. I honestly couldn't believe it. At one point I even asked, "Is it all done?" -- and when he said "Yes," I was so relieved I started laughing. The tooth was severely infected, and extraction was the only option, but the process was completely smooth and stress-free. This office delivers professionalism, compassion, skill, and true patient care. I strongly recommend Dr. Ohanesian and his team to anyone looking for excellent dental care, especially in an emergency situation. You will be in the best hands.

5/5 I cannot say…read moreenough amazing things about Dr. Ohanesian. I came to him after a serious electric scooter accident, and he truly fixed me up in every possible way. He was incredibly thorough, gentle, and patient throughout the entire process. His kindness and empathy made me feel so comfortable, especially at a time when I was really overwhelmed. He explained everything clearly, made sure I felt safe at every step, and the quality of his work is unreal - he did an amazing job. I'm so grateful to have found him. If you're looking for a dentist who actually cares, listens, and delivers exceptional results, I would highly recommend Dr. Ohanesian. Truly one of the best!

Good: got me in quickly for a cleaning and tooth repair. Very flexible with appointment hours…read more Reception is friendly. Waiting room is clean. Accepted my insurance. Dentist tells you in advance what insurance will cover, kinda. Got a great tooth cleaning. Repaired a tooth with excellent results. Bad: got a bill from Clovis Crossing then got a check from my insurance so I had to make another visit to give CC my insurance check. Got several calls from CC (and I keep getting them) asking to pay my bill. I never had to physically pay a bill with my previous dentist. Dentist recommended treatments that were over $100. I felt like it was a scare tactic. I didn't feel those recommendations were necessary. Hygienist numbed my whole mouth for the cleaning. Never had that done before. I was desperate to get my tooth repaired so my co-worker recommended CC. I'll probably do one more cleaning then look for another dentist.

Appointment Date: December 3, 2025 It has taken me several…read moredays to process my experience at this office so I could provide an honest, thoughtful review that may help future and current patients make a mindful and informed decision. Unfortunately, my visit revealed serious concerns regarding professionalism, communication, patient rights, and the overall clinical environment. I arrived at 12:55 p.m. for a 1:00 p.m. appointment and was not seen until 1:40 p.m., with the procedure concluding at approximately 2:20 p.m. I had clearly communicated that I had an interview at 2:45 p.m., yet time management, consideration, and respect for my schedule were noticeably lacking. From the moment I entered, I had an uneasy intuition about the atmosphere. After later examining recent online reviews, especially on Yelp, I noticed several patients describing similar patterns of pressure and unprofessional conduct. One review specifically mentioned feeling pushed into accepting Nitrous Oxide, and my experience mirrored that almost exactly. During my interactions with Dr. Anstey, his dental assistant who never introduced himself, Brenda, and Leslie, I consistently felt pressured, dismissed, and deprived of meaningful patient autonomy. I declined Nitrous Oxide multiple times not because I was unable or unwilling to pay the fee, but because I prefer local anesthesia, value being fully aware of my surroundings, and wanted to make an informed choice about my own health. Instead of respecting this decision, several staff members attempted to override it, repeatedly insisting that declining Nitrous Oxide would make the procedure more difficult. At no point did anyone provide a thorough explanation of the root canal process, the risks, alternatives, or what to expect, all of which are essential components of informed consent and ethical care. The tone of the appointment shifted immediately after I first said no. The dental assistant told me that I was "changing the procedure" by declining Nitrous Oxide, implying that I was making their job harder. This was unprofessional, unnecessary, and heightened my anxiety throughout what was already a stress-inducing procedure. No patient should feel coerced or guilted for making a reasonable medical decision, especially regarding a sedative that has lingering effects and requires safety considerations regarding driving afterward. I also want to highlight the conduct of a receptionist whose name I did not get. After briefly looking at my patient file and billing information, she told me to wait until the dentist could speak with me. The way this was handled made me feel like I could not leave the situation, even after I expressed discomfort and a desire to reschedule. It added to the sense that my "no" was not being heard or respected. When a patient expresses uncertainty or declines a treatment option, they should feel supported--not trapped or pressured into continuing. While Leslie was professional, attentive, and communicative and I genuinely appreciated her tone and approach but that doesn't take away from the overall experience which was disorganized, boundary-crossing, and dismissive of patient rights. Brenda attempted to facilitate but was frequently in and out of the room, contributing to the confusion and lack of clarity. The most concerning part of this visit was that I had to repeat my "no" to at least five different staff members. Repeating myself this many times should never be necessary in a medical environment. The root canal itself is already an anxiety-provoking procedure, yet the staff made the experience significantly worse by failing to inform me clearly, failing to respect my decisions, and failing to prioritize my comfort, understanding, and safety. I ultimately completed the root canal without Nitrous Oxide, but no patient should endure 40 minutes of feeling anxious, unsafe, unheard, and pressured. Even when I offered to reschedule or return on another day, I was discouraged from leaving. My right to withdraw consent or postpone treatment was not respected, and that is deeply troubling. I proceeded to complete my treatment with the root canal using local anesthesia and made the payment as fast as I could then left. I advise prospective patients to review recent experiences carefully before choosing this office. High ratings can be misleading, and the newer reviews reflect concerns that closely align with what I experienced. No patient should leave a dental office feeling dismissed, pressured, or distressed. Unfortunately, that is exactly how I left.
