Inside the clinic

First and foremost, Smile Design Studio deserves to have gotten this review many years ago because people outside my family and friends should have known about this place much sooner. I recommend this clinic 100%. They have taken care of my dental needs since before the COVID pandemic in 2018, and I have always been happy with my dental results. I get my cleaning done once or twice a year, and I've found confidence in my smiles after I got my braces. I always ask for their advice from cleanings to fillings to crowns to implants to braces and to wisdom teeth extractions. They are honest and offer different options that can match my insurance and finances. Shoutout to the team for taking care of me and now my toddler as well. My second baby will be going to the same clinic as well when she's 2. I am grateful to Ruben and now Miriam for being the longest standing team associates. I am thankful for all of the thoughtful reminders and calls whenever we have appts coming up. For all the follow ups and check ins whenever I or family have procedures. Thank you so much for taking care of us Dr. Lizana... May you be able to take care of more and more people now and in the future. You, honestly, are the best dental team I have ever met. Always grateful. :)

Heard about the clinic from a friend and saw their booth at the Granada hills farmer's market and I was able to meet the staff in person. Call it fate but I think this was a sign to switch clinics. Scheduling was a breeze the clinic was clean and nice. The dentists are very trustworthy and very diligent in explaining their plan of care. My daughter had her fillings done and we are following up on her wisdom teeth extraction. Thank you for your great care!

A+++. Perfection. The Denists, technicians, Receptionists, everyone I dealt with were highley…read moreskilled, extremely pleasant, cordial, articulate, knew their business back and forth, didn't try to sell me on things I didn't need and clearly cared about my welfare and made me feel totally comfortabe and welcome. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people. Before I go on Kudos to Marlyn, Dr. Nia my excellent dentist, Susie & Arial of the front Office, and Anthony, Assistant. Apologies if I inadvertently left anyone out. The great thing about Northridge Advanced Dentistry is they are open on Saturday and took me for an Emergency basically same day, right away. What happened to me was on Friday Night celebrating my birthday I was eating excellent birthday cake and somehow my dental bridge of a few years with 4 implants I think, suddenly got loose but did not come out by itself- almost like a Yo-Yo for lack of a better term. I was afraid of it accidently finally coming out on its own when I was sleeping and swallowing it. I had called my regular dentist who operates independently elsewhere and he told me not to pull the bridge out on my own (he hadn't seen the problem) and he was in NYC for a week and couldn't see me till he got back to LA! I spent all evening trying to find a 24 hour dentist in Los Angeles- there are none I could find despite numerous listings on Google saying 24 Hour dentist, but I was fortunate enough to speak to Marlyn at Advanced Dentistry in Nothridge and she booked me that Saturday morning. Dr. Nia was able to glue the bridge back on perfectly, answered all my questions and reassured me everything would be fine which it was. I intend to have future cosmetic work done at Northridge Advanced Dentistry. A perfect 10 and to me nothing is a perect 10!

Don't just look at all the good reviews without looking at the bad reviews. It's horrible to see…read morethe consistency in their treatment and insurance gimmicks. It's even more flabbergasting to see the response from Issac with an unprofessional condescending unapologetic tone. You can hear it through his words. Oh boy this makes my negative experience sound light even tho Issac wasn't involved. Well I guess without dragging on my poor experiences with them. I felt the money drive from the beginning and the press for repeated consultations on my root canal. The price quote I received the first time, change to an even more expensive charge after I had a dispute with the front desk. Nice smiles, pretty faces, but are not trained how assist with efficient solutions and thorough clarity of communication . Addressing concerns of makes them defensive and they either say the wrong thing or don't say anything at all. Lack of customer service skills. When I requested to speak to the owner I was directed to Mario. Seemed nice on the first call explaining my dilemma and he compensated a cleaning I was turned away (to get at first when they only told me when I got their my insurance doesn't cover it after I spoke to them the day before to confirm appointment) for the inconvenience. He acted concerned and said he will make sure any other service ( my root canal) will be discount and make sure I'm happy because "Money didn't matter to their practice". Now that's when I should have ran to the reviews to see if they follow what they say, and believed my gut... cause he was overly nice. Red flag That was then when I erased my attempt to yelp thinking it would be what he said. The jokes on me. Following week I then got my cleaning by the Hygienst that I like they set up another root canal counseling, which even he was confused why I was there. The story wasn't gonna change on what I needed and he really didn't do anything but agree with what was said in my file. I then came back to the front and the quote I got was more than the first one. The same girl I have a dispute with had a dismissive attitude, tried to smile thru it but neglected the point of being there. I asked is this discounted she said yes ( which it wasn't as I have my other statement from prior) and then I left out having to go back in to mention the appointment I needed to make for next appointment. I asked why didn't you finalize appointment and she said cause " you didn't seem you wanted it". That was not true as when she asked me did I want to set it up I said yes we just got into the discussion about the price and Mario. Instead of her referencing back to it to confirm she was dismissive like mentioned earlier. When I left I called Mario to share the in counter that he said he would make sure he would talk to front desk about previously as a follow up and he didn't answer. In that call I left a voice note explain in case he was out of town and he didn't return my message. With in the last 3 months I have phoned and left messages 8 different times and he refuses to address where we left off to correct what he said he prides his will to make sure customers are happy cause he would want that to happen to him and his family. My son and I were inconvenienced and had to make different trips back just for her mishap several times as I minimize the encounters because clearly the other clients have bigger problems than I do. I'm just glad I didn't give them my money. They got what they needed from insurance. Guess I was pushed out of there practice like other customers on here I see where but silently. The way Mario has handled me makes sense why the mask on their office seems nice at first unlit it's not and then they are passive aggressive. I hope this awareness brings clients to know their worth and money should be more valued than this.

He is incredibly honest and genuinely cares about his patients. He never recommends unnecessary treatments just to make money; he focuses on what you actually need. He is an amazing person who provides the kind of care everyone hopes to find. His staff is equally wonderful, always friendly, respectful, and clearly passionate about what they do. Kathy is especially great; she stays on top of everything, reminds you when it's time for a visit, and works with your schedule to make appointments convenient. The hygienists who do the cleanings are very gentle and careful (you barely feel a thing during your visits). I love the entire team and highly recommend Dr. Kevin and his staff. I don't have pictures to share but the offices or rooms are extremely clean. I Recommend doctor Kevin and his staff with my eyes closed. Please check them out, you will not regret it. The only thing I will have to say is negative!!!! ... it is sad they don't open on Fridays.

From the moment I entered the office, I was warmly welcomed by three exceptional staff members. They were incredibly kind and took the time to explain each step of the examination clearly and thoroughly. I was immediately impressed by their professionalism, knowledge, and compassionate approach. After reviewing my X-rays, Dr. Assili carefully explained my dental condition and the treatments I would need moving forward. We decided to begin with a deep cleaning that day. Drawing on his extensive experience and expertise, Dr. Assili meticulously cleaned every area of my teeth, which had been neglected for a long time. Throughout the procedure, he administered anesthesia as needed and frequently checked to make sure I was comfortable and not experiencing any pain. Thanks to his gentle touch, attention to detail, and skillful care, I completed the entire 90-minute procedure without feeling any pain. My next appointment is this Friday, and I am already looking forward to continuing my treatment and achieving cleaner, healthier teeth. I truly feel that I made the right decision in choosing Dr. Assili, and I would like to express my sincere appreciation to his entire team. I was especially touched by the patience, kindness, and compassion shown by these three wonderful staff members: * Maggie -- Front Office * Sharmaine -- Front Office * Valerie -- Dental Assistant For patients like me who experience fear or anxiety about dental treatment, these three remarkable women are truly like angels. Their genuine care and reassurance made me feel safe and comfortable throughout my visit. Thank you, Dr. Assili, Maggie, Sharmaine, Valerie, and the entire team for making my dental experience so comfortable, positive, and reassuring. I highly recommend Dr. Assili's office to anyone seeking professional, compassionate, and exceptional dental care.

Nearly a month later, I still can't chew on the left side and now hot foods and cold water hurt the right side where I was able to eat.

Over 16 years ago, following a severe accident, Dr. Lau completely restored my mouth with multiple root canals, implants, and precision crowns. When a front crown recently reached the end of its natural 15-year lifecycle alongside other wear, I initially consulted three local dentists in Newport Beach which is closer to home. I was disappointed to find that modern cosmetic practices often lack the qualifications to handle complex surgical work such as root canals, extractions, and implant placements - under one roof. Returning to Dr. Lau made the difference immediately clear: Comprehensive Clinical Expertise: Dr. Lau performs advanced restorative, implant, and endodontic procedures directly. Rather than focusing solely on surface aesthetics, he prioritizes structural bite alignment and oral function alongside cosmetic outcomes. Streamlined Scheduling: Living over an hour and a half away, the clinic optimizes each appointment to maximize treatment efficiency and respect travel time. Transparent Financial Coordination: The billing management team worked closely with me to navigate self-pay options, including their dedicated in-house coverage plan, creating a phased financial roadmap that fit my budget. Dr. Lau's depth of skill, advanced credentials, and patient-first approach set a standard that is rare in modern dentistry. For patients needing complex restorative care, functional reconstruction, or implant surgery, Mid-Valley Dental is unmatched. I highly recommend Dr Lau and Mid Valley Dental for all your Dental needs.
