Dr. Sarmicanic is a superior dentist. She has extraordinary patience and kindness. She was unflappable with my young daughter who was terrified of needles. She never forced her to do anything my daughter could not handle. She is thorough leaving no stone unturned to evaluate a problem. She is perfectionist making my daughter's repaired chip match her natural color. She remains current on medical advancements in the field by constantly attending workshops and conferences. Her equipment is state of the art. She even recently bought a 3-D x ray machine which is uncommon in most dentists' offices. Those dentists will send you elsewhere for 3-D x rays if needed. People stay with her even after they gain celebrity. read more

Dr. Sarmicanic is the BEST! The perfect blend of skill and compassion. She is honest, kind, and wise. I trust her completely; when I am in her care, I know that I'm in good hands. It can sometimes be difficult to get a hold of her, but when you do, you will see that she was worth the wait!! She is generous with her time, does not make you feel rushed at all, and explains in detail all that she is doing and why. She has gentle hands and a gentle spirit. I will continue referring family and friends to her. read more

She's the best! I drive 25 miles to see her because she's worth the drive. I will definitely come again.

Excellent treatment and caring personality , she is a true professional and I would recommend her to anyone in need of dental care. Pain free was my experience with heavy teeth cleaning that required numbing of the gums . Chris read more

Dentistry, dental work, and teeth seem to be the bane of the general population's existence. Most people hate dentists, insurance coverage is lax, and in general: it's not fun. All that changes in the hands of Dr. Mariam Sarmicanic. The office of Mariam Sarmicanic is located in the medical building at the corner of Olive/5th in the heart of Burbank looking out onto the Verdugo Mountains. Upon arriving at the office, the furniture is a bit outdated and the space is not blessed with natural light (no windows); but it is spacious-enough for a lobby and has an instant family-like feel. In fact, that can be said about the entire experience at the office. Some reviews complain that the doctor occasionally answers her own phone and find this to be awkward but I deem that to be grounded and pleasant. Not to mention, makes her accessible. Now, the reason I found Mariam Sarmicanic is because I have free Medi-cal insurance and they are currently offering dental. How great is that?! Dr. S is covered in my plan and had great Yelp reviews (and located in the same building as my doctor and previous dentist) so I was quite excited and hopeful. Turns out, it was just as delightful as one could wish for. I arrived to an empty office (I think I was early and it was lunch time) but Dr. S welcomed me, herself, and had a comforting, maternal energy. She had me fill out new patient paper work and then I waited... and waited. Admittedly, I waited over an hour and there were no other patients so not sure what the deal there was. If this is the protocol here, then one needs to make sure to block out ample time in their schedule when coming to see Dr. S. Once my appointment began (I was getting full X-rays and a cleaning to see what future work needs to be done); I was pleasantly surprised with how things went. This isn't your normal dental visit, folks! First of all, I wasn't exaggerating about the great energy of Dr. S. She is the sweetest, most loving lady. Her bedside manner is compassionate and professional but she also speaks to you like a long-time friend or family member. She is a doll! Plus, it is genuine. This isn't some fake, superficial act. The actual dental work? Dr. S knows what she is doing and explains everything every step of the way constantly updating you on what is going on and what is coming up. Plus making sure you aren't in any pain or discomfort. This is truly the most cared about I've felt by any doctor. Plus, she just chats with you asking about you and your life. She's awesome! My only complaint? She works a little bit slow. I'm used to dentists who try to rush, I guess. But at the same time: I enjoyed my time with her and her dental chair gazes out onto the mountains so not that horrible. Turns out I have a cavity and some fillings in teeth I've chipped down from my grinding and clenching so I will be back to Dr. S. Honestly? I'm not complaining. I'm actually happy to go back to see her! How often do you hear someone saying they are EXCITED to go to the dentist?! That's how it is with Dr. S! I know that most of you reading this little ole' review don't like dentists but I assure you: you will not regret trying Dr. S. She is professional, sweet, and it's a dental experience unlike those you are used. I can't say enough good things. read more

She's a sweetest person with a golden heart. Undoubtedly the best dental-related experience i've ever had. From the first day I visited this office I've felt as though I've been cared for and treated like family. Nevertheless, my teeth have been in perfect condition since visiting here for the past 3 years. read more

Dr Sarmicanic and her team are a true step above. Not only do they care deeply about you as a person but they are so knowledgeable and specific to your individual needs. It's the perfect size office for making you feel like you are the only patient that matters when you are there. When booking an appointment, I always just leave a message and hear back within the hour. The patients that come here are incredibly loyal and bring the most positive energy in with them (which is odd for a dental office)! By far the most amazing dentist I've ever been to, and as a person, the Dr is such a joy to be around read more

Dr. Sarmicanic is a very caring dentist. Countless times, she squeezed me in last minute to get work done. She stays late, works hard, and I happily drive across town to see her. I highly recommend her! read more

Dr Sarmicanic in Burbank. I have been going to her for about 20 years now when she was based out of Glendale. She did a very good cleaning but when she decided to change a 25 years old filling that was done by another dentist because she claimed it was leaking, that is when all my opinion on her skills changed. Dr Sarmicanic replaced my filling by put in too much fillings and had to grind it down several times causing great discomfort and keep in mind that I have a high pain tolerance and has strong teeth. She always boasted that I am one of two patients that have all our original teeth I am 58 now. When I told her that the filling is high she said that she was giving me a new teeth. I should have known right there that something was not right since I never have a tooth problem and no cavity but only two fillings. Please do not choose Dr Sarmicanic for any fillings at all since she needs more filling experience and maybe this is why she chose me to do the fillings since I have strong teeth. Please do not go to this dentist for fillings I am still having pain on my second molar and I am not able to chew hard food on it and it has been almost 2 years since she replaced my fillings. She told me to return for a sealing but would not give explanation as if she is afraid that I may bring a lawsuit against her. What is really sad is that she left me to face the pain on my own without offering any kind of assistance. I agree with someone who says she seems so cold. Monica M read more

Doctor Sarmicanic is an excellent doctor, very knowledgeable, caring and kind. she is a really terrific person. If you are a person who is scared of going to see a dentist she is the one you should see. She is a professional dentist and is always available to help and care for you even after hours. It is not easy to find a good dentist, I highly recommend to go to Dr. Sarmicanic for all of your dental needs. She is an Angel doctor. read more

4 years ago I had an accident, I randomly fell down and my tooth came out in my hand like completely and the teeth next to it were chipped and the nerve was damaged. I went to the ER 1st because I had to get stitches on my lip about 8 of them and then I went to my dentist Mrs Mariam around 2:30 pm and she was completely booked despite her busy schedule , she had me scheduled to come after hours when everyone was done around 7:30 She performed tooth canal treatment on that tooth and placed it back in the socket (replanted it) And it's still in great condition. The other two teeth were treated asWell and they are in good condition too overall the best doctor ever! Honestly it was a miracle I never thought I would have my own teeth back in place when I was holding it in tissue paper for so long. Thank you soo much again!! read more

Dr. Mariam was so kind in the beginning and very gentle with my teeth. I went to her 2 weeks ago for a standard check up and cleaning. She did an XRAY and saw that I had a small cavity on my back left tooth. She removed the cavity and did a filling and also did a cleaning. I've had many fillings done in the past so I know how it's supposed to feel like after. 3 days passed after and I was in the worst pain and I had NO pain before my check up with her. I called their office for 2 days straight and the receptionist finally answered. I told her how I was in so much pain after my appointment and I need to come in again and Dr. Mariam takes the phone and cuts me off and rudely says come in today around 7pm and she will take care of it. I drove their after work driving an hour and got there exactly at 7pm. She was with another patient and 40 minutes passed already and I went in the back and asked how much longer because it's getting really late and I was getting very tired. She started to laugh and with attitude said "you're tired??? I'm tired too.. psshhh.. I'm doing you a favor letting you come here so late" I told her I get it, but you didn't tell me I was going to wait an hour! I go back to the waiting room and I hear her talking to her patient in Farsi, but also in English and starts making fun of me saying "ohhhh she's sooo tired pshh what about me?? i"ve been here all day and I'm not complaining" and they start laughing. I wanted to walk out at that moment, but I was in so much pain!! I needed my tooth fixed. After waiting for over an hour, she finally called me in. She was acting very cold with me and started to check my tooth. She said the filling was high and proceeded to drill. I literally jumped out of the seat from the pain and she continued to drill. I told her Hello!! I am in pain , she said Oh really? I didn't notice.... She kept blaming it on the filling height. I told her it's more internal and needs to be checked. She stood there in silence staring at me and continued to drill at the filling. I told her that's enough, I want to leave because the pain was so bad. Then she proceeded to come at me saying why I would be complaining when she's doing me a favor helping me so late. like I wouldn't be back here if it wasn't for you messing my tooth up!!! I left and I will never come back here again. It's been a total of 3 weeks now and I am still in so much pain, I can barely even eat anything. Now I have to look for a new dentist to fix this mess. read more

Such a caring person - my children feel it's like having Grandma be your dentist and she makes them feel special too. Dental work is great too! Just be prepared to wait, I always make sure the kids have lots to occupy them while we wait, but the results are worth it! read more

I had a wonderful experience here. These people work hard! I had 2 cavities and 2 crowns fixed, and barely felt any pain the entire time.

Dr sarmicanic is amazing. Sweet woman with amazing bedside manner and truely one of the best drs I have came across. I cant believe anyone would have something negative to say. She walks you through step by step, explains whats going on and what shes going to do. She works with your schedule and accomadates you. Her staff is amazing as well. Honestly who ever has written anything negative, needs to find another hobby. read more

I had made an appointment to see this doctor, I called multiple times and the phone rolled to a fax number. I continued to call and finally got through and it was the doctor that answered the phone. I explained the phone problem, she did not care, and it just did not make sense. If she was a good dentist she would have staff, be too busy with clients to answer her own phone, have a reliable phone system, etc. I called back to say I was going to cancel and she answered her own phone again then just hung up on me. I am a business owner with 30 employees. Are you kidding me. There is no way I could ever trust her work due to how he practice is handled. I am very patient and always give people the benefit of the doubt and this is the first negative review I have ever written but this was Ridiculous. read more

Dr Mariam Sarmicanic is the best Dentist I ever had, she is nice,caring and patient and the good list can go on, she explains everything to you, there is nothing bad to say about her, when I am in the chair I feel so relaxed and have no fears like I have had at other Dentists, when I leave there I feel so relaxed like I just came from church, six stars! read more

I scheduled my son for a new patient visit and waited a month to be accommodated for appointment. Once I arrived receptionist disappeared to the back and never came back out. My appointment was at 4pm, at 5:15pm, still waiting with no courtesy advisement of how much longer I would have to wait. Mind you this was an appointment for my minor son, who was in pain. After so much time waiting, we decided to leave. After several hours later, I guess the receptionist finally noticed we were gone and called. Still had the audacity to say they wouldn't be able to reschedule for another 2 weeks. Then the doctor gets on the phone, not empathic at all and repeats the same lines as receptionist. I truly believe we were overlooked because we are of colored skin. I would have received better service at county hospital, which is ranked lowest level of customer service so that tells you how horrible this experience was. You will only get treated well at that office if you are White or Armenian, if you are African American or brown they will treat you like second class citizens. I will definitely follow up with a Grievance and complaint with BBB! read more

Dr. Sarmicanic is the only dentist I've ever seen in all my 53 years that does the most professional work on your teeth, treats you with a kindness not much found in this world anymore, and is the most gentle with you from beginning to end if you have fears going to the dentist office like I do. She takes her time, explains everything she is doing, makes you feel so comfortable during the full appointment that you would never want to go anywhere else. She is extremely sweet and will go out of her way to give your teeth the best quality treatment around. I admire her work ethics and her heart of gold! I have a very special fondness for how safe she makes me feel each and every time. I highly recommend her to anyone who has always looked for that one special dentist. Once you find the right person, you never go anywhere else. I found that in her! She's amazing!!! read more

Dr. Sarmicanic is the loveliest of humans! As a new patient, she did my x-rays, cleaning, and photos herself (rather than having a hygenist do so). She was thorough and attentive and didn't rush at all, even though I was her final appointment of the day. She explained everything she was doing and allowed me to ask questions along the way, which has never happened to me before at a doctor of any kind. The woman at the front desk was also wonderful and before I scheduled an appointment, helped me figure out if my insurance could be applied (rather than having me call a million numbers to figure it out through insurance itself). I would recommend Dr. Sarmicanic to anyone! read more

Dr. Sarmicanic has been my dentist for about three years. Appointments are easy to make and the waiting time is usually short. She is an excellent Doctor. Very caring and personable. She diagnose the problems with my teeth expertly and remedy them perfectly. She is the best dentist I have ever had and I have had quit few Doctors before I found her. I feel so lucky to have her as my Doctor. She works hard and completes any kind of work on my teeth expertly and professionally, no matter how long it takes. I always walk out of her office very happy and content and feel great about my dental health/hygiene. She is kind and caring. My only regret would be if I move out of State, I won't find another Doctor Dentist like her. She is great! read more

Dr. Sarmicanic is one of the most caring health care professionals I have ever come across. She is diligent and thorough, ensuring that her patients receive high quality, pain free dental care. I have been her patient for 30 years, and even after moving out of state, I have kept her as my dentist. The reviewer complaining about her office phones not being picked up fast enough seems to value administrative activities above all else; I'm sure Dr. Sarmicanic's patients are thankful that he will not be taking up her precious time. read more

The dentist is very kind and compassionate. She has great attention to detail. I had one of my chipped front teeth fixed by her and the end results are amazing. read more

Mariam god bless you read more

Dr. Mariam Sarmicanic is an angel sent from heaven. Before I met her I was terrified of going to the dentist was a nightmare for me because of my horrible experiences in the past. I was very insecure of my smile and had a few cavities that needed to be fixed however I kept ignoring because of my fear of dentist. After my first check up with her I instantly knew this is someone that I can trust and will do everything she possibly can to make her clients as happy as possible. She gave me the most beautiful smile, and during the procedure of fixing my cavities she kept checking on me making sure I'm okay, she even put spa music on for me cause the sound of the drill was scary for me. She is truly a very sweet woman with a heart of gold. Me and my family are always happy to visit her. read more

Dr Mariam Sarmicanic is very friendly and kind and nice and she is very educated and professional . You will feel very comfortable and relax while she is working on your teeth. She is best dentist ever in the town . I recommend her to everyone . read more

Dr Sarmicanic is a caring, patient and professional dentist. I've been going to her for over 10 years and she has always been very kind, taking her time to look at my issues and then fixing what needed to be done! She's done many procedures for me including taking out all of my amalgam filling a few years ago. She has a small office therefore can take the time to give personal attention to each patient. I have referred multiple patients to her and they all LOVE her! If you are interested in a caring doctor rather than the show and flash of some other places then she'll be the dentist for you for life! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Sarmicanic for over ten years. She's fantastic. Does minimal invasive work; and explains your options very clearly as to what needs to be done and what can wait. She does not have a big staff, nor is she part of a large dentist office that's trying to churn through a bunch of patients. She's a one-man shop that doesn't over book herself and you will literally feel like you are her only patient because of how much time she puts into your dental needs. She is an excellent dentist with over 30 years in practice in a professional setting. Before her I went to a dentist that wanted me to fill out a credit application so he could start work replacing all of my silver fillings with modern ceramic ones or my teeth were going to fall out. (The procedure was going to be over $3000). I told him I'd get back to him-- went and saw Dr. Sarmicanic and she said they were fine and that I should replace them as needed. Over the years she did just that (I still have one-- I guess the other guy was wrong) anyway bottom line is that Dentist was a crook and Dr. Sarmicanic isn't. Like a perfect barber or an honest car mechanic, once you start seeing Dr. Sarmicanic, you'll never go anywhere else. read more

Thank you Dr.for your hard work and your honesty ,I am your patient for almost 17 years you care about your patient like your own family members once they come in you want to make sure every thing is fine before they left the office .you are only dentist I know who doesn't care about mony and doesn't matter how tired you are ,always welcome your patients with big smile and big heart. You deserve 10000 stars God bless you and your business. read more

Horrible im sorry I never leave a bad review but please be careful or if you can go somewhere else. I lost my tooth after going to her and I'm getting my tooth extracted after a routine root canal with her. I was in pain the entire time I told her I could feel her drilling and she seemed lost and frustrated with me I had to go back to her twice to get this procedure done she reiterated to me multiple times she couldn't get the posts into the canals of my tooth and kept pushing them in with her hands it was so painful I was crying asking her to stop that I could feel everything and she showed me the X rays and I could see she put the posts on the opposite sides of my canal. I went to a second dentist for a second opinion and she told me Dr. Sarmicanic did the root canal incorrect and caused my nerves to die and was unable to salvage my tooth. All I could think of in that moment was I should have left when I started seeing the warning signs she didn't know what she was doing and I still let her and I went home crying in pain. Now Im on 800 mg pain killers and antibiotics and getting my tooth extracted on Tuesday I'm 27 and losing my tooth. Please avoid her. read more

The first time I had the privilege of having Dr. Sarmicanic attend to my teeth, I was probably 7 or 8-years-old. My family was referred to her by our neighbors and close family friends (people we trusted). Until this day, 21 years later, it is still the best referral I have ever been given. As a teen and young adult, after having moved with my family, I tried going to a few other dentists, mainly to save myself the driving time. After absolutely nightmarish experiences of being rushed through my appointments or aggressively sold to by other dentists, I ran back to the person I knew would take care of me the way I needed. Dr. Sarmicanic is an outstanding dentist, and an exceptional human being. I remember, even as a kid, my fear of going to the dentist disappeared after meeting Dr. Sarmicanic. She took care of me like she would a beloved member of her family. She is genuinely caring, calm, kind, so sincere, and has the best bed-side manner you could wish for from a doctor. That being said, her professionalism and attention to detail are incomparable. Her cleanliness, efficiency, and the great quality of her work never ceases to amaze me. She truly goes above and beyond for her patients and I feel so incredibly lucky to be one of them. There is a reason her only negative review comes from a person who never gave her a chance. Going to Dr. Sarmicanic means going to the best dentist out there and the only logical thing to do is refer your friends and family! read more
