Nataliya immediately put me at ease! She was kind, patient, and gentle throughout the entire cleaning process. She was so thorough, checked in often, and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way, which I really appreciated. The front desk (I didn't catch her name) was also super friendly and welcoming which you don't always find at dental offices! I can't recommend Nataliya and the entire staff at Avenue of Smiles enough! Great experience!

I had several bad experiences here for which I had blamed myself, but shouldn't have. Treatments…read morewere not fully explained, "treatment plans" that I was asked to sign were insufficiently clear, and work done was much more severe than had been explained. (Imagine signing a plan with a chimney sweep who listed "sweep chimney, wipe each brick in chimney, and/or remove chimney". You'd expect to be clued-in if the last option was being pursued, right? But, why's it even listed that way??) The proverbial straw on the camel's back was when I was told by the dentist, while she basically had both hands in my mouth, that she believed "every single word" that Trump was saying at the time. "But not about the virus, right?", I asked; "Especially that", she answered. "You really drank the Koolaid", I suggested; "It's all a joke," she replied. This was late spring 2020, when it was increasingly clear that such a position was moronic - particularly for a healthcare professional. Vote however you like. Think whatever you want. But don't discount a pandemic, while providing health services, with your hands in my facehole. I found a new dentist immediately, and followed the given procedure to transfer my records - but that took months, including two letters and several phone calls. I postponed writing this review to make sure there was nothing else needed from them before I burned this bridge. But I'll never go back, I'm embarrassed that I continued going for as long as I did, and I'm somewhat comforted to see that others here have had similar experiences and that it was, as I've come to realize, terrible service - not me.

Very Disappointed - Lack of Transparency Regarding Dental Financing…read more I am extremely disappointed with my experience at First Street Dental Group in Simi Valley, particularly with how their financing program was presented and explained to me. In September 2024, I received dental treatment totaling $12,000. At the time, I was offered what I understood to be 24 months of interest-free financing. I trusted the staff and believed I could make my required monthly payments during those 24 months without interest, and that any remaining balance afterward would only begin accruing interest from that point forward. Unfortunately, I later discovered that this was actually a deferred-interest financing program. If the entire balance was not paid off before the promotional period expired, substantial interest could be charged retroactively. This very important financial consequence was never clearly explained to me by the staff when the financing was offered. I enrolled in automatic payments and consistently made my required monthly payments, believing I was following the agreed payment arrangement. After two years, I was shocked to discover that I still owed over $10,000, and my October 2026 statement showed more than $7,000 in interest charges for the year. What disappoints me most is not simply the financial burden, but the lack of clear communication and transparency. I trusted this dental office to explain such a significant financial commitment before asking me to agree to it. I understand that patients are responsible for reviewing financial agreements. However, I also believe that a professional dental office has an ethical responsibility to clearly explain the potential financial consequences of the financing options it offers. Patients should never walk away believing they are receiving interest-free financing without fully understanding the possibility of thousands of dollars in retroactive interest charges. My experience has seriously damaged my trust in this dental office. I hope management takes this concern seriously and makes greater efforts to ensure that future patients fully understand the financing terms before committing to expensive dental treatment. I am sharing my experience so that other patients can ask the right questions and avoid facing a similar situation. Very disappointing experience. I expected much better transparency and professionalism.

That being said, there is a reason why my spouse came out of the appt crying, and I came out of mine terrified. To start, we waited an hour to be seen (our appointment started one hour late). Then, we each had our appointment (X-rays and pictures taken by an assistant). When Dr. Hashemi came in, she did not look inside my mouth. Not ONCE. I have OCD, and I brush and floss every single day, so I figured I would need my yearly cleaning and a repair on a filling that fell out, not much more. Instead, Dr. Hashemi scared the crap out of me by telling me that: 1) I needed a cleaning EVERY THREE MONTHS. 2) My next appointment would consist of a DEEP cleaning, because otherwise there was no way to know if I was experiencing bone loss for my back molars. She said there could be bacteria getting trapped between my gum and my tooth, and that if I lost bone due to the bacteria, I could need very expensive procedures down the line. After describing to me all the "possible" problems and scary consequences of my HEALTHY teeth, she left the room and never returned. A staff member gave me the price breakdown, but the doctor never returned to discuss it. I had so many more questions than before I had the appointment. My spouse had a big cavity and was told that she needed a crown, possibly even a root canal (she said that there was no way to know for sure until the day of the procedure). She also "needed" more cleanings and a deep clean. We both left feeling horrible and deeply concerned about our teeth. We thankfully followed our gut and canceled the future appointments. We have since been to a new dentist, and surprise... 1) My teeth are so clean that my cleaning took 4 minutes TOTAL. 2) I absolutely do NOT need a deep cleaning, and the dentist could tell from the X-rays and from looking at them himself that there is absolutely no problem with my gums and back molars, let alone bone loss. 3) I certainly do not need a cleaning every three months. In fact, I need to brush less or I will damage my enamel. 4) I have two small cavities that Dr. Hashemi never even mentioned. My new dentist and I were actually surprised I had any cavities at all given how clean my teeth are and how well I floss. 5) My spouse does NOT need a crown, just a big filling. And also does not need a cleaning every three months, nor a deep clean. As someone else said here in a review, at her office most patients "need" a deep cleaning. If you are reading this, I suggest that you take the time to read other reviews - you'll see how often the words "deep cleaning" come up. It is not a coincidence. I can't believe this was our experience given all the good reviews. I feel chills just imagining what other unnecessary procedures we would have ended up with if we continued going here. Scare tactics are the main service we received here.
