Where do I even start? Love my smile makeover by Dr. Mike Jin! He is a consummate professional, a…read moretrue artist, and a visionary. I've needed an overdue smile makeover for decades, but I never had the means--or a dentist I trusted enough--until I met Dr. Jin. His bedside manner and warmth immediately put you at ease. When discussing treatment options, it never feels like an unnecessary upsell--just genuine suggestions and solutions to achieve something better. In my case, "you don't know what you don't know." If Dr. Jin hadn't shown me the true potential of what my smile could be, I never would have taken action. He gave me clear options with zero pressure, and boy, am I glad I went for it! I couldn't be happier with my new smile. All I want to do now is show it off to everyone! It has genuinely been life-changing. I also have to give a huge shoutout to the staff--they are a massive reason why I love coming here. Everyone from the front desk to the clinical team is exceptionally kind, warm, and welcoming. They make you feel right at home. For the first time in my life, I actually look forward to going to the dentist. Thank you, Dr. Jin, for giving me my dream smile!

I have been a patient of his since I moved home from college in 2013. I needed two veneers and Dr. Elmassian hooked it up. They look completely natural-- people don't even know I have them unless I tell them. His staff are very warm and welcoming and you will certainly have a pleasant experience beginning the very moment you walk into the office. Thank God for Dr. Elmassian. Look no further--It gets no better than him! I have included a picture of my teeth that I took within an hour of getting two veneers!

The ladies in the front are wonderful, so is…read morethe lady who does the cleaning as well as the other staff but my direct experience with Dr. Elmassian was awful for two reasons. One, after swabbing the numbing agent in my mouth Dr. Elmassian immediately injected me with the large needle of the anesthetic. IT HURT LIKE HELL! Typically dentists wait at least 1 minute before they use a needle on their patients after the inside of the mouth is swabbed. It was awful but he didn't seem to care that I was almost screaming and moaning in agony. Then while he did my procedure he talked very unprofessionally to his young female assistant who clearly was uncomfortable and laughing nervously throughout Dr. Elmassian's gossip about other people. She tried her best to act interested. I think Dr. Elmassian is clueless to a fact of life that Karma applies to everyone. Anyway, I will never go back there. Terrible experience!

Dr Arash is a good ma, dentist have good souls after all...and hopefully good senses of humor.

Dr. Azarbal came highly recommended by a friend whose family has been seeing him for over 15 years…read more I called for an appointment and the first available time slot was a month away. I was willing to wait, I heard this office was great and the reviews seemed to agree. I had a late afternoon appointment. When I checked in the receptionist could not find my name in the schedule. I pulled up my call log to show that I did speak to someone in the office a month ago. Without skipping a beat, she worked me in. I filled out some forms and she looked up my dental insurance, which seemed easy peasy for her to do. Despite the initial disappointment of not being properly scheduled, I had a great experience with my X-rays and exam. The office vibe is relaxed and friendly. Although it was busy, Dr. Azarbal maintained a very pleasant disposition and I could hear him asking other patients if they were comfortable. He is very friendly, easy to talk to, and he's an attentive listener. He thoroughly explained what was going on with my teeth. Even though the office was shutting down for the day (remember they worked me in), he took his time to give me dental "mini-lessons" with enthusiasm. He and his staff were very courteous and attentive to my needs, and they always checked to be sure I was comfortable. We have a treatment plan and my next few appointments are booked. They confirmed my contact info and will send me text reminders moving forward. I look forward to coming again!

The patient care is always attentive - they really go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable and fully understand any treatment you're receiving. What I really appreciate is Dr. Chen's thoughtful approach. I've come across some dentists in the past who can be overly aggressive with treatment plans but she takes the time to monitor any issues and only recommends procedures when truly necessary. It doesn't feel like treatments are recommended to make money but rather assessed as genuine care for your dental health. The office itself is beautifully designed, parking is easy and they validate so it's convenient to head over to Old Town afterwards for some shopping or food

When I enter Dr. Chens office I don't feel tension from the team and the environment here is very nice. Amber, Caesar, Dr. Chen is amazing. They LISTEN!!! It's hard to find Dr's in the medical field that LISTENS to their patient. Most Dr's feel they are above you because of credentialism. All of my previous Dr's never spoke to me about their work and never put me at ease. My previous Dr's spoke to me in a condescending manner even when I spoke up out of concern for my own well being. It's not about comparing oranges and apples but this is a BIG change in a positive way for me. Dr. Chen and her team has restored my faith in the medical world! At least on the dental side! Thank you Dr. Chen and thank your team.

I specifically asked before booking, at check-in, and again after the appointment. The visit itself lasted about 1-2 minutes. The dentist performed a brief visual exam and told me everything looked fine. No periodontal probing, charting, or treatment planning was done. The office initially billed my insurance under a comprehensive periodontal evaluation code, which did not reflect the services performed. After I questioned it, they resubmitted the claim under a limited exam code, which was then denied due to frequency limitations. I was ultimately required to pay $50 to avoid collections. What disappointed me most was not just the billing issue, but the lack of empathy when I raised concerns to "Rafi". There was no acknowledgment of the miscommunication or incorrect initial coding .. just a firm statement that it was "my responsibility." Clear communication about coverage and better billing transparency would have prevented this situation. I hope the office improves this process for future patients. very disappointed.

The front desk staff, hygienist, and dentist were all wonderful. Unfortunately, my experience completely changed when it came time to discuss the treatment plan and pricing. The person handling this did not explain my treatment plan to me at all. I was presented with a treatment plan totaling over $16,500 and asked to sign it without anyone actually going over what I was agreeing to. When I tried to ask about it, he cut me off twice, saying, "I already explained it to you." He had not. I was stunned by how dismissive and condescending the interaction was. I came in with a tooth causing significant pain, fully prepared to have my dental work done here, and left knowing I would need to find another dentist. It's incredibly disappointing that one interaction at the very end ruined what had otherwise been such a positive experience.
