I recently had a very disappointing experience at Karapetyan and Gotikyan Dental Corporation. I…read moreleft work early and drove over an hour to make my scheduled appointment, only to be told--after waiting nearly 30 minutes--that the doctor would not see me until I paid an outstanding balance of over $2,000. I was never informed that I had any balance due. The front desk later mentioned that a bill was supposedly sent in August, but I never received anything. From August all the way to November/December, not a single phone call, message, or reminder was sent to inform me of an outstanding balance. Meanwhile, the office called me several times to schedule my follow-up appointment, yet still no one mentioned that I would be required to pay over $2,000 before being seen. Mail gets lost. Calls don't. If I had been told ahead of time, I would have handled the issue before coming in. Instead, I was blindsided and embarrassed at the office, and my time, effort, and drive were completely wasted. A bill of over $2,000 is not a simple copay. There was absolutely no transparency about the possibility that insurance might not cover the full amount or that I could be responsible for such a large balance. Patients' time and effort are valuable, and medical offices must be respectful, transparent, and communicative. I truly hope they improve their practices and consider the impact of such oversights on patients.

I had a very frustrating experience with this dental office and urge others--especially those using…read moreINSURANCE --to be careful. There were delays, poor communication, and billing issues that didn't match my insurance records. I only received my refund after multiple calls and getting my insurance involved, and there was no apology. If you're using insurance, double-check everything--your eligibility, what they tell you upfront, and your EOB afterward. I would not recommend this office based on my experience.

Dr. Garabedian is spectacular at his job. I was referred to him by my dentist and had my wisdom…read moreteeth removed. They healed nicely. He is intentional with his care; transparent yet respectful about your dental assessment, dental health, and treatment, and efficient with his dental work. My only gripe would be his front desk team. On Jan.12, 2026, I had an initial dental surgery consultation that I arrived to 15 minutes early, and yet I was not seen until 3 hours after my scheduled time. I understand delays happen but a heads up would have been nice. I had to go up to the front desk to remind them I was there, and ask when I will be seen. The consultation took less time than the wait time by a LOT.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, it does not address the concerns raised in my review…read more You dismissed my experience instead of addressing it "this review is not what patients experience..." This immediately invalidates my lived experience rather than acknowledging it. Whether others had different experiences is irrelevant to what happened to me. 2. Saying you have "never met me" is a deflection. That statement adds nothing of value. I wasn't claiming a personal relationship with you -- I was describing how your practice handled my visit. 3. You avoided the real issue: lack of notice and communication. My main concerns were: * No prior notice of a $2,000+ balance * No calls, emails, texts, or reminders for months * Being allowed to schedule appointments while allegedly owing a large balance * Being turned away after arriving on time and waiting You did not address: * Why no one informed me before my appointment * Why staff continued scheduling me without disclosure, so claimed * Why payment was demanded only after I arrived. 4. You hide behind "standard policy" "outstanding balances must be resolved prior to treatment". If so, why did your staff not inform me prior to scheduling me? I never disputed the existence of a policy. I disputed the failure to disclose it in advance -- especially for a large amount. 5. "We can't discuss this publicly" avoids accountability. That's understandable for details -- but you could still acknowledge: * A breakdown in communication * That my time was wasted * That the situation was handled poorly My issue was never that balances exist or that insurance determines coverage. My concern was the complete lack of communication regarding a balance exceeding $2,000 before my scheduled appointment. From August through November/December, I received no phone calls, emails, texts, or reminders informing me of any outstanding balance -- yet your office contacted me multiple times to schedule follow-up appointments. At no point was I told that payment would be required prior to being seen. I arrived on time, waited nearly 30 minutes, and was only then informed that I would not be seen unless payment was made. This was embarrassing and a complete waste of my time, effort, and missed work. Instead of apologizing for this experience, your response dismisses it. Rather than acknowledging a breakdown in communication, it denies that the events occurred. Instead of offering to review the matter, improve communication, or propose any resolution, it deflects by citing general policies and stating that this is "not what patients experience." Additionally, there was no indication that this situation would be addressed internally or that staff would receive guidance or training to prevent similar issues from happening to other patients. A bill of this size is not a routine copay and requires transparency, proactive communication, and respect for a patient's time. This review reflects my actual experience, and I hope the practice improves its communication and accountability moving forward.

I've had a number of oral surgical procedures by Dr. Niemann in his office in La CaƱada,…read moreCalifornia. I have felt very secure with his surgical management of my dental issues. I've had three implants installed, as well as, three extractions and two bone graft procedures. All of my surgeries have gone well and I have had no complications. His demeanor and bedside manner inspire confidence and security. He clearly explains the problems that he planning to correct and the details of the procedure in a way that is easy for me to understand and ensures my peace of mind. His practice seems to run on time and parking is easy and free. When I call the office, I find that I'm immediately speaking to a person and my issues are handled promptly. They've made every effort to exhaust reimbursement through my insurance, as well. The balance cost for my treatment has always felt fair and reasonable. He has CT unit in his office that he makes good use of. He's able to generate three dimensional images of my facial skeleton, clearly demonstrating the anatomy surrounding my upper and lower jaw tissues. These 3-D images make the process even more transparent, and easy to understand. He answers all my questions directly and confidently. He clearly has a lot of experience in this field. I would highly recommend Dr. Niemann for dental implant surgery, particularly in situations where there is bone loss associated with dental extractions or bone cysts requiring bone grafting. He gives his personal cell phone number to his patients so that there is no delay in managing postoperative questions or issues. There are many oral surgeons in this area and one might choose one randomly or based on advertising - but for those people who don't have any recommendation, I believe, based on my experience with him over more than two years, that he will provide excellent service at a fair price and will be responsive to any issue that arises. Additionally, my husband is a surgeon and he has attended has all of my visits with Dr. Niemann. He also has great confidence in and would highly recommend this oral surgeon.

I literally said to myself this is why I don't like coming to the dentist. But it did get better! This staff is so very friendly and accommodating. The dentist is very professional, very friendly and very personable. Even when I mentioned that I felt like I had certain procedures done before, the dentist stated that if I had that information to provide then it would alleviate some of the other steps that I would have to take that he had mentioned. Now that's something that doesn't happen often. The front staff is so very pleasant and so friendly and helpful it just made this whole experience well Worth it. I found this dentist by looking up reviews on yelp and it was a tough decision but I think that I made the right choice coming to this office! I look forward to having my mouth taken care of by the staff

This was on a Sunday so I unfortunately wasn't able to see a dentist until the following day. That dentist put a wire brace to hold the tooth in place. However after a little while it seemed I would need a root canal as that tooth started decaying. The next dentist I was recommended to by a family friend performed the root canal and filling. This solved my tooth woes for a small period of time. The tooth was stable, but it started discoloring and turning brown. I was told by my new dentist that had bought out the practice, that I would need a crown or replacement. Only to never address or facilitate that procedure. My wife and I were recommended to Dr. Chung by her friend, and the level of professionalism and care is a fresh breath of air. After my first appointment, I was able to schedule follow up appointments for the crown work. Dr. Chung does an amazing job of talking through his procedures and comforting his patients. Nicole is amicable and hospitable. I would highly recommend Dr. Chung's office for your dental care and needs.

It had been two years since my last dental visit, and I was honestly a little nervous, but there was absolutely no judgment whatsoever. Just kindness, professionalism, and reassurance. I went in as a walk-in because of a toothache, and they were able to see me right away. Not only did they quickly pinpoint the issue, but they also performed the procedure the same day with absolutely no pain whatsoever. That alone speaks volumes about their skill and care. Dr. Meserkhani was incredibly assuring and gentle. Took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire visit. You can tell they truly cares about their patients and their well-being. The office itself is spotless and beautifully maintained.

Thankfully, I went to Dr. Meserkhani for a second opinion--and I'm so glad I did. He was able to save both teeth with root canals. Dr. Abrishami, the endodontist, performed the root canals, and the experience was surprisingly easy and painless. He's incredibly skilled and also very friendly, which helped me feel at ease right away. Throughout the process, Dr. Arbi Aboolian also worked on my teeth and was just as professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Everyone I interacted with made me feel confident I was in good hands. After the root canals, Dr. Meserkhani placed a crown on one tooth and a veneer on the other. The results are amazing--my front teeth look identical, natural, and beautifully done. Dr. Meserkhani is very detail-oriented, which I really appreciated since I'm quite particular about aesthetics. The staff were also so warm and welcoming. I've always felt anxious about going to the dentist, but this was the first time in over 30 years that I actually felt calm and comfortable. That says a lot about the care, professionalism, and friendliness of the entire team. I can't recommend Dr. Meserkhani, Dr. Abrishami, Dr. Aboolian, and their incredible staff enough!
