I had a very disappointing experience at Healthy Smiles Dental in Sherman Oaks and would strongly…read moreadvise others to proceed with caution. Before my appointment, no one reviewed or explained the charges for my deep cleaning. I have dual PPO insurance, and I know deep cleanings are covered, yet I was still charged a significant out-of-pocket amount. I was never informed that a laser would be used, nor that it would be an additional charge per quadrant. I assumed it was part of the standard procedure. This was never discussed or consented to prior to treatment. Even more concerning, my son and I were separated and taken to different rooms, and they proceeded to do multiple fillings on my son without ever informing me how many were needed or asking for my consent. No one came to explain the treatment plan before starting, during my own procedure, or afterward. As a parent, this is completely unacceptable. At no point was I given a clear treatment plan or cost breakdown for either of us. Despite having dual insurance coverage, I was still charged $621 out of pocket. When I asked for an itemized receipt, I was told they could not provide one, which is a huge red flag. This office feels extremely money-driven, with poor communication and questionable consent practices. I truly regret not paying closer attention to the reviews before booking here. Transparency, consent, and trust are critical in healthcare--and this office failed on all three. Please avoid this place and protect yourself and your family.

I had an unfortunate fall 16 years ago that badly broke one of my front teeth. I had a root canal and crown then but was always incredibly self conscious about the crown. The shape and the color never matched appropriately. At the time I thought this was all I could expect, but 16 years later and a freshly updated crown complete I am beyond pleased and proud of the way my teeth look. I didn't know there would be a dentist that would care the way that Dr. Perlaza did. The lab he uses is fantastic, coming in to custom shade match, then taking the time to come back and make a slight shade adjustment because doctor was not happy with the match the first time. Truth is, I hadn't even noticed any shade issue I was already so pleased with the upgrade I saw then... but Dr. Perlaza is a perfectionist and I am so grateful! The final outcome is dreamy!

The girls are always so kind, patient, and helpful--they take the time to answer all my questions and never make me feel rushed or like just another appointment. Dr. Barsam is truly the best. He's incredibly patient and gentle, which means everything to someone like me with dental anxiety. He always takes the time to explain what's going on, talks me through the process, and makes sure I'm comfortable every step of the way. I fully trust his judgment and know I'm in excellent hands with him. Today was no exception--I walked in nervous, but he immediately reassured me and made me feel calm. It's rare to find a dental office where you feel this supported and cared for. That trust and peace of mind are something I never thought I'd find at a dental office. I'm so grateful to have found this team. If you're someone who's ever been afraid of the dentist, please know: you are in the best hands here. Dr. Barsam and his staff have truly changed the way I feel about dental care, and I can't thank them enough.

I would normally just walk away from an unpleasant, high-strung experience. Humans are complex…read morecreatures. What I champion in a world of polarity, control and reactivity, is more communication and receptivity, which may have been lacking on this day at this office and with Dr. Sands. I too take accountability for any miscommunication. Upon arriving I quickly gave the latest information to the hygienist (she did my cleaning last time). I informed her that I sometimes take the prophylaxis but that I did not have it at this time. I briefly explained that I just returned from a long journey out of the country and that my insurance had changed and that I have just secured an appointment with a new Dr. to get a script. With a newer diagnosis of LAFB, I was unsure if it was a big deal or not to forgo the prophylaxis. I thought that the DDS could give me a script for it (because you can take it within two hours) but was informed otherwise at the front desk. It was my choice and responsibility to medicate or not. She left the room for a long bit and then returned to continue with the cleaning. There was no discussion on the prophylaxis. I let it go. I'd done it without before. She then said that she needed to take 6 new x-rays. I said that I would sign off on that because I was planning on doing my onlay in the next few months and didn't want to do the x-rays twice. I have never followed the prescribed x-ray protocol and only did it when necessary. She then disappeared. After about 10 long minutes, Dr. Sands came in and introduced herself. She then asked what my fear was around x-rays. I shared with her that it was not a fear but that I did not want to do unnecessary and extra procedures and then do it again in the next couple of months before my onlay. I wanted to focus on the one tooth and upcoming procedure . As most DDS's, she gave me the usual lecture on x-rays, protocols and legalities. I am aware. I get it. I have signed off before. We were focusing on one tooth. I just wanted consideration around the scenario of the big picture and upcoming procedure. She then said it was now too late to do the cleaning and that I would have to come back. But that we could not rebook until they took all six x-rays and did the exam. Breath. Was she really going to give me an ultimatum? At this point, I just wanted to move on. It was a cleaning. I wanted to move on and book my onlay. So I trusted and relented. I was glad to have Dr. Sands do the exam as it was her practice. The hygienist was now going to take the six new X-rays. Two in the front, which wasn't even in question or a problem. Protocol. While I applaud Doctors and Nurses, I feel that the medical establishment is often over stepping. I have experienced and seen plenty. I require my boundaries, rights and sensibilities to be honored and respected where reasonable. The hygienist took the first x-ray rather quickly, and then the second. I could not see her face as she had a mask on the whole time, but I could feel her nervousness. As she pulled out the second X-ray, I took a breath and said, please, just do it right the first time. Well, as I was saying this the second x-ray came up on the screen distorted. Bad timing. Another breath. I said, the same thing happened with my mammogram. I at no time was upset or disrespectful. I was calm, only disappointed. She ran out of the room, triggered. I could hear her asking if someone else could take the x-ray because there was an overlay. I heard Dr. Sands asked if there was an overlay on my teeth. No. A few minutes later Dr. Sands comes into the room and tells me to leave her practice as I don't want to abide by her protocols and that I was "mean" to her hygienist and upset her. Wow. She goes to grab my purse and says that she will walk me to the door! I am surprised by this reactivity. I am calm and watching the whole scenario. I tell her that there is no need for her to walk me to door. I take my things and tell the hygienist that I'm sorry that she got nervous. I leave. What a fiasco. The times before when I had my cleaning, Dr Sands was not in the office. The hygienist felt calm and confident. The energy was completely different this time. It's great that Dr Sands is protective of her employees. It's great that she holds a high bar to her ideals. It's also unfortunate that her reactivity was way over the mark on that day. That she read the room wrong, and that she read me wrong. "Mean" is not something I have ever been described as. Honestly, if anyone deserves an apology, it would be to me. I felt unheard, unaccommodated, condescended to and well, scapegoated. As a woman close to my pier group I would consider more from Dr. Sands. I would hope that she would consider her part in handling this and take accountability for this human foible. No defenses needed, but an acknowledgment and fair response would be up to par.

**Revised to address the Doctor's response - what an awful, untrustworthy and condescending person…read more First, he called me to discuss this review and offered a free consultation in exchange for taking down this review, which I believe is a violation of Yelp's terms. Second, what he states below is completely different from both what his staff said over the phone and not at all what he shared with me when we spoke. He was adamant that they needed to charge all fees up front. He reiterated numerous times that he wasn't a benefits expert but he has advisors and staff he trusts to understand it better. So when I shared that I am well versed on insurance benefits, both as a patient and a plan administer for my own company, I thought he might actually take interest in learning about how unethical it is to charge a patient twice. Instead he repeatedly spoke over me and told me that - while he himself wasn't knowledgeable on insurance, clearly I must still be wrong. Now he's writing that they only do this in some cases (no insurance or out of network), but all the sudden he's now saying that they only charge an estimate when the are in network - first time that's being said. This person continually spoke over me and let his ego drive the conversation. I hung up when it was clear that he had zero respect for me or the time I offered after he asked to speak to me. In no world is this someone I would trust with the health of my jaw or ever being under anesthesia. To purposely call someone to deride them when you have no real knowledge is its own ethical issue. Get your business in order, sir. First, it took three calls and two voicemails to even hear from anyone. Second, the billing practices are completely unethical - they bill you up front for all services AND then bill your insurance. They claim they'll reimburse you whatever insurance decides to pay. It's beyond unethical. Finally, their front office is wildly unhelpful. Not only do they not return calls, but they can't answer basic questions like how much a consultation costs. Between ethics violations, insurance fraud and incompetent administration, I'm not sure how they got so many 5 star reviews without paying for them (insanely common for dentists and plumbers on Yelp).
