I recently had a visit for a cleaning. Before the cleaning, I mentioned to the hygienist that I was experiencing a minor amount of pain on one of my teeth, sometimes, after she asked routine questions that would prompt the explanation. I further expressed that the pain began after I had a tooth shaven earlier this year. When I called in earlier this year, after the adjustment on the tooth, I was told that the pain was normal and it gradually go away, however, if it remained severe, then I could come for another adjustment. The pain did gradually reduce as the original doctor stated. The hygienist recommended that I speak with Dr. Afar after I mentioned this information to her. Dr. Afar checked on the tooth, but I will say that he was gruff and rough in how he handled me during the process. After examining my tooth, he expressed how there may be a potential issue, but he further told me that the reason I started experiencing pain was not related to the work I had done. He also stated that I would probably need to have a root canal done, but he did not initially explain why, which I had to further inquire from the front desk assistant. It was a completely different and more extreme assessment from the hygienist as well as the doctor who worked on the tooth earlier this year. However, there was no sense of urgency on his behalf after suggesting such an extreme measure. In addition, he completely dismissed when I stated the pain began to tell me when and why are started experiencing pain, even though it was mentioned that I never experienced pain before the adjustment this year. The interaction just came across as dismissive, with being given a generic response to suggest something unnecessary and expensive as opposed to tailoring a response specific to my individual needs. read more

I was treated by Dr. Bijan Afar, and I can honestly say he is one of the best in the business. He has a way of making complex procedures feel simple and stress-free. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients' long-term health rather than just rushing through a checklist. I'm so glad I found this practice. A huge thank you to Dr. Afar and the whole NOHO Dental Group crew for such a positive experience! read more

I've been going to NOHO Dental Group, all the staff, especially Dr. Bejan and the ladies at the front desk were amazing. It's been about a year I've been going here and results are fantastic! I really recommend!!! read more

I can't speak highly enough about this dentist! Dr. Afar and Azi are exceptional practitioners who care deeply about the well-being and comfort of their patients. Marcy and Brenda at the reception are so kind, communicative and accommodating, and the office is always calming and welcoming. I've recommended Noho Dental Group to all of my friends and family, and they all agree this dentist is irreplaceable! I think most of us have had negative experiences with dentists in our lives, but this office is the exception. If you're looking for incredibly skilled practitioners in Los Angeles who take the time to listen, these guys are the best! read more

Review is on the unprofessional and disrespectful behavior today. I went in for my scheduled appointment (routine exam and cleaning), got my cleaning, then learned the dentist was simply... not there?!? The receptionist told me I needed to come back again in 2 weeks for my exam. They did NOT make me aware of this in advance, or I would have happily rescheduled. Every other time in my life, this has all been handled in one appointment. No excuse was provided for the dentists' absence, or the lack of courtesy. Even in an emergency, a simple text beforehand could have prevented this negative review. Or ANY explanation for my dentist's failure to show up at my dentist appointment. Completely disrespectful of my time and energy. Choose elsewhere if you have options and value your time. (Dental care is fine; it's what my insurance covers.) read more

After 10 years of visiting this location, I can honestly say I would drive hours to get here. Only dentist who doesn't lie and tries everything to save your teeth. Great advice given too. I have anxiety with doctors and he makes me as comfortable as possible. Was in a horrible accident and had jaw surgery, nerves were damaged and extremely difficult to numb me. Out of the 7 dentists I visited, he's the only person who can do it painlessly and fast. I honestly don't trust anyone else but him. Thank God for him and his skills. He's truly gifted. read more

Dr. Nathan Rabizadeh is exceptional. He is meticulous, kind, professional, personable, and genuinely cares for his patients. I am grateful for how he took care of me. Brenda as per usual is a beautiful human being. I love seeing her every-time I have an appointment. Marilyn is the perfect assistant. She is patient and super smart. She definitely knows what she is doing. Thank you NoHo Dental for always providing excellence in your service. read more

Have been a patient here for the past 3.5 years and will not be returning. I had a cavity filled that wasn't properly cleaned and now less than 2 yrs old needs a crown. I received a different crown 3 yrs ago and this weekend it chipped. Constant rotating door of dentists and overall deep concerns for their quality of care/work. Giving it one additional star because Dr. Jacob and Brenda at the front are super sweet. If you have to go here I'd recommend them. read more

Coming to Noho Dental Group has been a great experience. Not only is their team, especially the front desk, extremely professional, but they care and take their time to explain the treatment I needed. Great dentists, great staff, and overall great vibe. read more

Favorite dentist to date. Friendly, communicative, and easy. They are honest and do great work.

Let me start by saying I never had to deal with this kind of crap my whole life. Thanks for making history loosers. The staff could care less about getting paperwork corrected or sent off to other dentists with a very dismissive attitude. They should really go into veterinary care. My procedure was handled wrong on every level and even trying to explain what happened wouldn't matter because everyone reading this would be so quick to judge without being in the same situation and not realizing how painful some dental procedures could be and how some fairly standard ones should be completely pain free when done correctly, and my pain thresh-hold is pretty high. Rabizadeh, the dentist that worked on my teeth was acting like everything was no big deal and would dismiss or ignore basic care after the procedure. Stay away from this place, the left hand doesn't know what the right one is doing and if you value your health and well-being you shouldn't go. I usually don't write these reviews but this one is well deserved. I would give zero stars if I could! read more

My appointment was with Dr. Saghian but she's out on maternity leave so they transferred me to another doctor. I don't know his name. He didn't introduce himself. He was gruff and had absolutely no bedside manner. I'm short, he was a jerk. I felt like if I stayed for the whole appointment that I would regret it so I got up and left. I recommend going elsewhere. Life is too short to put up with jerks. read more

I went by Noho dental group and found their prices significantly higher than other dental offices. Like a lot. I was specifically shopping for Invisalign and their are Groupon offerings for literally thousands less. The place seemed nice and everyone was pleasant but when I asked them several times for an itemized quote to understand why their prices were so high they never responded. Dental services are kind of a commodity item and I want the best price or at lease to understand what the best price is. From there I can decide if other factors like location or service make it worth paying more or not. If you're reading this, I hope you have better luck getting their actual prices than I did. When a place doesn't want to tell you their prices there's usually a reason. read more

Been going here for years! Mainly cuz of Marcella who works at the front and Monica who's no longer there :( service there is amazing and I'm always seen on time with my appointment. Can't recommend them enough! read more

Dr Bijan Afar is one of the best professionals In the field he takes the time and explains without any hiding behind it, he tells you like it is, he is just not a businessman he is an excellent periodontist,I've had the pleasure to be part of he's team and after I've decided to take my mom for a dental care because I knew how well he works and the type of material (implants )he uses she would get her money's worth for a lifetime, after more than couple dental implants,crowns and veneers my mom is finally able to have that confidence back,I can't put it in words how this has changed her self steam in positive way. Thank you again DR Bijan Afar, the boss, the professional,the person overall read more

I have been with this dental center for the last nine years, and besides the pricey service, which is ok for me, they have changed a lot. Their front desk representative is unprofessional and would cancel the appointment at the very last minute without advance notice. They changed my appointments several times and this year, and I finally had to leave and find a better dentist. Also, check pricing somewhere else before getting trapped here. read more

Exceptional service. The entire staff is very nice and friendly. Been coming here for 2 years and have been very satisfied with the results. Dr. Alina is also very good at her job. I will always recommend this clinic. read more

Marcela and Areli in the front desk are always so helpful to work my appointments to fit my schedule I know, there's more staff that we've interacted with like Ozzy, and Jasmine, but seriously this place has the best team out there. I can't say enough about them. They rock! read more

NOHO Dental Group - The twins did great at their dental checkup! No cavities!!! Thanks NoHo Dental :) - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - North Hollywood, California

I was originally seeing Dr. Alina Tiraspolskaya, she was amazing! I had some dental issues and had to go in several times and every time she made me feel comfortable and at ease. After a few months of being seen by Dr. Alina I needed to have my wisdom tooth removed and the performing provider would be Dr. Bigan Afar. I had a consult with him before my wisdom tooth extraction and he wasn't paying attention to me at all during the visit. He was either making me wait because he had to respond back to an email during our consult, or he was just giving off the vibe that he had other things to do. The day of the extraction I was told to take a muscle relaxer an hour before my appointment, by the time I got there the medication had worn off. When I was in the room waiting for Dr. Afar one of the dental assistance gave me another pill to take. Dr. Afar then came in and made a really bad attempt at a joke by accusing me of doing meth. His reasoning for it was because meth addicts go through medication really quickly (is that even a thing?). I told a staff member that I didn't like his comment and she immediately went to him and told him, he then came into the room to confront me about it. He claimed it was just a joke because since I'm so thin, meth comes to mind and I shouldn't take it as an insult. The procedure to remove my wisdom tooth was awkward to say the least. It is never funny or a good idea to "jokingly" accuse your patient of being a meth addict, you're a freakin professional, you should know better. Never went back after this. read more

Dr.Afar, and his staff are the best. I can't recommend Dr. Afar enough. 10 stars. Everything from a cleaning to implants, and cosmetic dentistry. read more

Marcela is the first person you encounter when you walk into the place, she is amazing. She treated my wife with the best customer service . Marcela was always greeting others with the same respect and with a smile. They are lucky to have her. read more

I felt so disappointed. I have never had so much doubt in the medical/dental insurance system in the US in my life and it was utterly disgusting going through what I just went through. After reviewing others reviews I decided to write this review because I noticed it's a recurring complaint and it seems so unethical. I just recently received insurance and I was so excited to go get my teeth cleaned so I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Saghian. I get there on time, fill out my paperwork and ask about my fees, they said I needed x-rays and inspection then they will clean my teeth, they said it should only cost $25. So I get to my dental chair and I hear the Doctor talking to a patient in detail (total hipaa violation, speaking of hipaa). They take like 20 x rays (probably up charging my insurance for each one) then after inspection by the Dr. She tells me I need a deep cleaning ($250 out of pocket) a $1500 crown and like 5 cavities filled, didn't give me an option of a basic cleaning. The secretary came in after the Doctor left and gave me a break down of the fees and it was way out of my budget so I left. They did mention I could ask for basic cleaning but why should I have to ask for something that I scheduled to begin with, like I have to beg the Doctor or something. I know my teeth aren't the greatest but I don't think I should be denied or feel denied of basic health care needs just because I can't pay premium prices. People shouldn't get into health/dental if they can't have basic compassion for people who are less fortunate. After them mentioning my insurance allowance im worried that they just used up a bunch for something I never even wanted to begin with. This is a racket, I'm writing our state representatives. What a waist of time. read more

Where do I begin? Dr. Afar's Dental Office is simply THE BEST! He not only is one of the finest Dentist in the business but he surrounds himself with only the BEST! I've been coming here for years and I'm just in love with my experience at this dental office and their staff! Marcella who handles billing is always finding ways to get me a little extra for my dollar and a HUGE HUG every time I see her. Such a kind soul! Azi is my dental hygienist who I have a HUGE CRUSH on and just ADORE! Dr. Danielle just may be the most beautiful, intelligent and kind dentist in the business and the ENTIRE staff treats each patient like a movie star! What more can I say than NoHo Dental Group other than they make me smile! read more

"The option of general anesthesia sedation is offered to all of our actual patients. We have an anesthesiologist as part of our multi-specialty practice so it would actually benefit us to keep him busy! However the majority of patients generally deny this option due to the high cost associated with it and it is not a covered benefit" Just wanted to update you guys that this response they gave to me, stating that general anesthesia is offered to our patients - it was never once offered to me. They never gave me an option. Just sayin' read more

Just had my first visit yesterday and everyone just wanted to make sure I was as comfortable as possible, probably because they could tell I was very anxious. Dr. Afar was straightforward about what I needed to get done and put me at ease. The front desk has been super accommodating with my schedule and I'm returning today for a deep clean before my procedure next Wednesday. The staff and assistants are very friendly! As I was setting up my appointment I met a fellow patient who had been seeing this dentist for years and he assured me I was in good hands. Yelp reviews are great but an in person review is even better. Will update as I go. read more

NOHO Dental Group - Everyone did their best to keep me at ease - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Great dentist! Very sweet receptionist and staff was great they all worked at a team and gave me all tthe information I need to take great care of my teeth. I will definitely make this my go to dental office read more

I went in a few months ago to get my teeth cleaned before a long trip I was taking. I usually go to a dentist in another state that I've been going to for years but didn't have the time. The dentist cleaning my teeth told me I had 5 cavities and 3 teeth with bad decay on them (not her exact words but thats the quick side of it). This was almost impossible unless I had spent the last 6 months between my last dentist appointment at my regular dentist eating just pure sugar. she also tried scare tactics to try and get me to pay for over priced fillings. I went back to my regular dentist to get a second opinion and they told me my teeth were fine and were proven so after X-rays and a deep clean and inspection. I highly recommend not going to see anyone at this group unless you want to be gouged for money. read more

Cons: 1. I had to wait in the dental chair for a long time before the dental hygienist was able to attend to me. 2. The hygienist told the dental assistant to start my teeth cleaning knowing the suction tube (saliva ejector) was not working. The assistant then asked if she could start the cleaning without the saliva ejector, to which I replied I could wait for it to work. 3. I had several resin composite fillings which amounted to nearly $2,000. You would think with a procedure amounting to nearly $2,000, the resin applications would be even⁠--they were not. I had asked the dental hygienist to even out my lower teeth by reducing the jagged marks where the resin ends and my tooth begins. What was supposed to be a correction on one of my lower teeth caused my tooth to be noticeably thinner than normal. The resin applications on my upper teeth are uneven as well. Earlier this week I thought I had food stuck in my left upper canine tooth but it was the resin composite filling. 4. I had to take out the teeth whitening mouth guard because it was taking the dental assistant a while to assist me and the whitening agent was creating a mess. Pro: 1. I received a free teeth whitening treatment because of their disorganization. Needless to say, I will not be returning to this establishment. read more

So to be honest, I've never really had an ideal experience at any dentist before. However, I now have a completely different outlook on dental offices. First off, the ambiance of the place is very spacious, warm, and welcoming. Across from the door, they have a little refreshment counter for visitors. I thought that was quite a thoughtful touch. Anyways, from the moment I stepped in, I received a warm welcome from one of the receptionists that proceeded to kindly assist me in signing in and filling out my paperwork. Once I turned it in, I waited only about 5 minutes to get called in! Keep in mind, I'm accustomed to waiting a minimum of 30 minutes at dental offices so that was already a very pleasant surprise. On to my actual experience inside. I was there to get a teeth whitening and when I was seated, the assistant explained exactly how its going to go before doing anything which I really appreciated. I had to sit under a light thing for about 15 minutes and they kept checking in and making sure I'm okay every minute or so. Dr. Afar came in as well to make sure everything is good. At the end, I had a lot of questions and consultations and he sat with me and answered and explained everything very patiently. He's very nice and extremely educated in his field. Another bonus is the convenient parking lot right in front! Definitely going to be transferring over to this dentist! read more

So this place is really nice and clean. They had a 49$ special that i heard of and called to verify what it included. I asked if it included a cleaning and they said yes. It really was just a polish. I understand that a polish is a type of cleaning but I know she just said yes so that I could go in. If she would of said no its a polish, I would of still went. Just Saying. I felt tricked. Then in person they were really nice and welcoming, Dr was great, I forgot her name sorry. I was told my teeth were OK but did need a deep cleaning done. I wasnt ready to go ahead and do that quite yet. My decision is final and thats it. I get really annoyed when after you tell them your decision, they try and convince to pay pay pay. I said no about 5 times. They even offered a program that i can pay monthly which is nice but i said NO. Anyways I just felt annoyed and scammed cause her way of convincing me was to say that my teeth were really really bad and were going to fall out lol when im no dentist or cocky but my teeth are pretty good and the dr just told me there good. That annoyed me. The other employers were really great. They called to remind me of an appt that i was forced to schedule, i said i have to cancel sorry, and she said like why? Hmm because i just do. Ok when would you like to reschedule? Hmm i dont know, Il just call you when Im ready to. Ok il call you back tonight to rescedule. Hmm Again No il just call you. Ok and she hung up. I just dont like those pushy places. But its not a reason not to go. They are great and very professional. I did not go back. read more

As if I could not love NoHo Dental Group more, I recently had the pleasure of encountering Dr. Nancy, yet another dentist who truly goes above and beyond to show that she cares. She did an exceptional job and took her time to discuss options with me, so that I would make an informed decision. I deeply appreciate her knowledge, honesty, time, attention, and compassion! Thank you, Dr. Nancy, for being stellar and so very helpful! I will continue to highly recommend NoHo Dental Group because both the dentists and front office personnel are amazing, kind, honest, and knowledgeable! read more

DO NOT COME HERE. Something is funky with this place. Hadn't been to the dentist in 3 years or so, so it was sort of a slight emergency; I was really looking forward to it. I made an appointment around the 8th of Dec for the 18th. I was told I would get a confirmation call a few days before. I didn't, and I wasn't quite sure of the time, so I called them. To my surprise, they didn't have me on file and had apparently lost the appointment. So I made another one, for the 18th. I was pretty irritated, but no biggie, I was VERY thorough in making sure she had my correct name, phone number, and address because she wanted to send me a physical confirmation in the mail. Even having verified the date/time, I called today, the 5th, to confirm... and... they LOST THE APPOINTMENT. They have the nerve to act like it's my fault, asking (like they did before) if I "called the right dental office"... What do you do? How frustrating. "We just don't have it". Poof, gone in the wind. I have it, right here in my records, but they don't. I don't know if someone is messing with me, or the ladies at the desk are just dumb as rocks; both of which seem unlikely. It must be one, right? Don't know what is going on with this place but STAY AWAY. I'm leaning towards the latter option. I'd be worried about them losing teeth, or worse: "Oh, sorry we used the wrong anesthetic, you may feel quite the tingle here in a sec". BIG-TIME NOPE. "Are you sure we're the ones who lost your teeth sir? We don't have you in our system..." read more

I have had my fair share of dentist, and this place has what I like to call a good choice. I live in the north part of the OC, I have a dentist which I have seen for over 7 years, so I am very picky on those I let touch my mouth. I had planned on coming over for a deep cleaning, since I was attending an special event here in LA. When I arrived I was impressed by how clean and spacious the lobby was, the front desk gals were so nice and welcoming, I had no worries or fears about even being new to their office, I felt like back at my dentist office back in the OC. When I was called to be placed in one of the rooms, the hygienist was nice to actually listen to some of my request. She was kind and never did she tried to change my mind about how far to clean my teeth. She talked to me the remainder of my sitting. As I was sitting in the chair, I could see how clean and uncluttered the room was, there was this calmness to my cleaning that time seemed to passed by really fast. When my procedure was done, I was given a goodie bag, which included a brush, floss, a travel size tooth paste, tooth picks, and a "next appointment" card. I thought that was nice of them. I had read their reviews, and I had mixed feelings about coming here, but is like every other place, it all depends on the procedure. Sure they can be quite expensive, but lets be honest, beauty can be painful and expensive. Im giving them a 4/5 only because my wait was a little excessive and sure they were pricy-er than I was expecting (quoted). I walked out please with my cleaning and their service, a good option to consider if you are in the area. read more

Do not go here. The staff is rude and unprofessional. I went for a teeth whitening (which didn't even show results) and it was the most jarring and uncomfortable dental experience I've ever had. No one explained anything, they burnt my lips, they pinched me--terrible. When I asked for a copy of my x-rays, I was told that it would cost $150 to e-mail them. This place is a scam. Seriously, the Smile Center is a block over. Go there. Edit: Noho Dental contacted me to say that they only charge $25 to e-mail copies of records/x-rays, and that they are working on improving their customer service. For their efforts I'll raise them to 2 stars, but I won't be back. read more

I am a returning patient to NoHo Dental Group, and specifically Azi Yaghoubian, RDH. She makes me want to be a better flosser. I actually have an appointment with them tomorrow, AND I CAN'T WAIT! I had never been excited to go to the dentist, until meeting the wonderful people over at NoHo Dental Group. I had always been the classic "afraid to go to the dentist" person, yet now, I no-longer feel that way. I feel safe, I feel secure, I feel respected. And sure, they remind me that I should take better care of my teeth, but guess what, we all should! They're educational, they're caring, and they go that extra smile...pun intended. I recommend you try them. ESPECIALLY if you're scared. I was, and now I can't wait to see AZI and the entire staff. read more

It is not an understatement when I say that Noho Dental/Mid-Wilshire Dental Care SAVED me last Monday. The day following my holiday party, I awoke to a pretty bad toothache. By the following day (Monday), I was experience about a "7" on the 1-to-10 scale of pain. After calling a handful of dental clinics that told me they would have to call me back (or weren't picking up), I called Noho Dental. The girl who answered immediately referred me to their Mid-Wilshire clinic for a same-day appointment. At 3pm that day, I met with Dr. Afar. He was extremely kind and sympathetic and after evaluating my x-ray, gently told me that I needed an emergency root canal. I explained that I wasn't in a financial position to pay for anything that day, other than a portion through Care Credit. He said that if I didn't have the money or credit to cover it, that they would be happy to work out a payment arrangement - "what is important is that you get relief from this pain." He referred me back to NoHo Dental, where Dr. Kakoli and the staff were waiting. Mind you, at this point the time was 5:45pm. Dr. Kakoli performed the root canal; he was very gentle and considerate and very good (apparently my problem was pretty extreme, way up into the root, but he was able to do the procedure in one go). I believe most, if not all of the staff, stayed late to accommodate my treatment. And just eight days later, I'm going in for the first appointment for my crown. My first experience with Noho Dental definitely warrants a glowing review. read more

After being absolutely terrified by the monster of a dentist my insurance gave me, I switched to this place because of a very high recommendation from a friend. I called them first to ask if they would take my insurance. They said yes, if I had the doctor switched first. Once my new insurance card came in I gave them a call to make an appointment and they said they are not taking any new clients with my insurance. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? I work in production and have been getting free healthcare, but paying for dental and I can't even get a freaking checkup. POINTLESS. Thanks for making me sit on the phone with my insurance company for hours for nothing. read more

Great staff and a chill atmosphere :) Easy to make an appointment and you feel welcome and relaxed walking in. read more

Would not recommend. Went here looking for a new dentist in the area. They will try and nickel and dime you for all these additional treatments. Worst part of it is that a "treatment coordinator" will come in after the exam and pretend to be a doctor telling you all the things you need to pay for. Skip this place and find a place where they don't treat you like a blank check. read more

I have been coming here for Two years and every visit has been full of great hospitality and care. Prior to me coming to this office I had not been to a Dentist since I was 13 (due to personal reasons) . So of course when I first came I was hesitant and scared that I may be judged and shamed but instead I was welcomed warmly and I did get some great advice and feedback as to what work needs to be done. But after two long years all the dental work needed has been completed and I could not have been taken care of my a better dental office!!!!! They have been so cooperative and helpful even when I had no insurance and even advised me how to get dental insurance. I have recommended noho dental group to so many of my friends. And now I'm doing so on here! Don't go anywhere else this place is top notch! read more
