From the receptionist, to the dental hygienist to the Drs, everyone is so nice and professional. They listen to my concerns especially when I say that I'm terrified of any dental procedure. They are gentle and make me feel comfortable. Cannot forget office manager Melissa also is very professional and always is available when you have any dental issues to make your appointments. Usually after I visit a dentist I don't go back until I have pain. I've been going back and keeping up with the cleanings after my deep clean for the first time in my life. Don't be afraid. Make the appointment.

This place is money hungry and have no loyalty to their patients. I was visiting this location,…read morereligiously for quite some time and unfortunately a family member got sick and I had to cancel two times.. I canceled within the required amount of time, but the office manager could absolutely care less that I had the emergencies all she talked about was that I had to cancel, never even considering the fact that I had a sick person in my home and I could not come to the appointment.. in my opinion, the staff has absolutely no caring or humanity for another human being. They just want your money. This office manager feels that you should come to the appointment no matter what is going on. It doesn't matter with anyone is sick. It doesn't matter whether anyone is in trouble. You should keep your appointment.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Alexandre Aalam and his team. I recently experienced a…read moredental emergency, and Dr. Aalam went completely out of his way to help me. From the moment I contacted the office, he was incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely caring. What stood out most was the personal attention he provided. In a stressful situation, he made me feel like a priority and took the time to explain everything clearly while ensuring I received the care I needed as quickly as possible. His expertise and calm, reassuring manner immediately put me at ease. It's rare these days to find a specialist who combines such exceptional clinical skill with such a high level of personal service. I am extremely grateful for the help he provided and would recommend Dr. Aalam without hesitation to anyone in need of periodontal or implant care. Thank you, Dr. Aalam, for your professionalism, responsiveness, and kindness. It made all the difference.

Dr. Aalam has responded saying that "We take feedback from our patients' experience seriously..."…read more And concludes that he would have been happy to discuss the matter at the time. That completely misrepresents the facts. He could have easily called me the next day and cleared the air. I am not interested in publicly hurting a man's career. But this has been on my mind, that if he hurts someone, I will feel guilty that I did not share this information. NOTE THAT HE DOES NOT ACTUALLY DENY HIS YELLING AND SCREAMING. Instead, he says "Yelling or inappropriate communication of any kind does not align with the environment we strive to provide for our patients and team members." Of course, it does not align with an environment that anyone would "strive to provide." No professional office would openly "strive to provide "an environment where a customer/patient is treated like that. It happened. There was at least one staff member who witnessed it. Plus the screaming was so loud, people in the lobby could have easily heard it. The man completely lost control. I raised the concerns in person at the time. His response is that the concerns should have been raised at the time. They were raised at the time. I quietly raised the issue that I have already signed a contract and put down a deposit. He went into a screaming rage. Really screaming. This is hardly someone who is happy to discuss any issues. There were witnesses, at least one other staff member in the room. Then he left the room and came back minutes later, screaming again. Even with a break, he could not get under control. He came back and showed me a ridiculous interpretation that the contract said all services must be completed in 30 days. (Of course, it really said that I had 30 days to accept the contract. ) I pointed out that the services could never be completed in 30 days. He responded "But you never made a deposit". His own records show that I had made a deposit immediately. This is not a guy who is happy to discuss any issues. It is a man out of control. There was another issue. A faulty CT scan, which he told me was a reason for a delay. Delays is his big thing. So I went to UCLA Health to get another CT scan. His CT scan was wrong. I was charged approximately $250 for an incorrect CT scan. But mistakes like that are possible and understandable. It's the losing of his temper that is why I am writing this review. There were other people in the office that day. They all saw it. A man who can lose control like that must have done it other times. My concern is that anesthesia is part of his treatment. That is a serious health risk. A man who can lose his tempter...if that happens during anesthesia, you're in serious trouble. Again, I don't want to mess with a man's profession. But I would feel guilty if he hurt someone, and I had not shared this information. He should have calmed down and contacted me and this could have been cleared up.

While periodontic work is never painless, they do what they can to make it as comfortable, quick and stress-free as possible. The office staff are always honest and helpful. While I have had them forget things occasionally, like sending in a prescription, they're quick to own up to their mistake and correct it. I do have two minor complaints about this office though, which aren't deal killers. One is that they do not process all of your benefits for you. I have AFLAC Dental for supplemental coverage, and their office will not file those claims. They instead insist that I submit these myself. What makes this awkward is that AFLAC will often pay THEM instead of me, so I have to drive back in to get reimbursed. This has happened twice now, and it's inconvenient and a little annoying. Two is just a personal thing. Their office decor is weird, discomforting and a little bizarre. Huge cast figures in gold of human bodies on the wall. Black velour furniture. And dozens of blank white shelves filled with what looks like small round plastic fake plants. It's like being surrounded by an army of chia pets. It's not a warm, relaxing atmosphere, but it's a minor thing that doesn't reflect on their work at all. I'm sure there's a professional decorator in Simi who could fix this in a day or two. Other than that, they are a perfect 10...

Honestly, if I could give more than 5 stars, I would! From the very beginning, the entire team was professional, kind, and reassuring. They also offer a 10% discount for cash payments, which was very helpful financially. My procedure was in early December. I checked in at 8:30 AM for a 9:00 AM appointment. The team prepared me thoroughly, and I appreciated the guidance to wear comfortable clothes and a short-sleeve shirt. I was asleep during the procedure, and everything went smoothly with no pain. My older son picked me up around 11:30 AM and drove me home, as I wasn't allowed to drive afterward. I rested for the remainder of the day. What really stood out to me was the level of care that Dr. Bak personally called me later that afternoon to check on how I was doing and answered all my questions. He was incredibly patient and supportive. Anna was also amazing and went above and beyond in communicating with me throughout the entire process. In early February, I returned for a gum graft, and just this morning I had my final visit. Everything looks beautiful, and I can now continue treatment with my regular dentist. Once that side is complete, I'll definitely be returning to Dr. Bak to start another implant on the other side. I highly recommend this office, they are extremely professional, attentive, and truly take great care of their patients. You won't be disappointed!

He took time to examine my gums and thoroughly explain to me what a gum graft was and why he recommended it, along with what I should expect during the procedure and the recovery. Maggie, his receptionist, also thoroughly explained to me what to expect and recommended a few things to make me more comfortable during the procedure (e.g. comfy clothes and a zip-up sweater so I don't get cold, etc.). The procedure went smoothly - Dr. Abelson and his assistant Maria did a great job and were very professional. They did a great job numbing the area so I didn't feel any pain while he was working.
