I had a wonderful experience. The dentist is absolutely amazing, he explained everything about my teeth and all its issues. He was thorough and he did everything so quickly and efficiently. Honestly I have gone to so many dentists and some of those dentists have been friends and this dentist did more for me than they ever did. Honestly I won't only be coming back but I am going to recommend him to all my friends and family. 10/10 stars. Truly thank you for what you did. Do yourself a favor and get an appointment quickly. You can't find a nicer, more competent and more experienced dentist. read more

The staff at Smiles Northridge is amazing! From the front desk Jennifer's friendly voice and face to Eugenia's comforting demeanor, I highly recommend coming here for dental services. Dr. Sam was friendly and explained everything clearly throughout my first visit. He is very understanding of patient financial constraints and works with you to perfect your smile. I am very glad I found this place and would recommend it to anyone. They seem to offer a range of dental services, which is very convenient. read more

My husband and I went to the same dental office for 15 years and were very happy with the previous dentist. He focused on routine cleanings, never pushed unnecessary procedures, and we never had out-of-pocket costs. After he retired, the new dentist who took over seemed unskilled, unethical, or both, and appeared more focused on billing than on patient care. I was charged unexpected copays and talked into fillings that were poorly done. I developed persistent tooth sensitivity afterward (which I never had before), and when I returned, I was told my teeth were simply "unusually sensitive." One filling soon fell out. Overall, multiple issues came up over my three visits with the new dentist. The office also began overbooking--we waited a long time outside and then again inside. We realized we needed a new office and, after reading Yelp reviews, chose Smiles Northridge. I specifically looked for comments about ethical conduct and professionalism. My first visit was reassuring. The dentist, Dr. Sam, explained everything clearly, made a point of keeping treatment within my insurance coverage, and demonstrated strong clinical skill. He corrected problems from my previous dental work smoothly and confidently, addressed other minor issues, and the pricing felt very fair. I also had the impression that he genuinely cared about my dental health. The office was better managed as well, with minimal waiting and no obvious overbooking. My husband visited the next day and had the same impression: the dentist was skillful, addressed several minor issues effectively, and the overall experience was efficient and well run. We truly hope this strong first impression holds and that we can build a long-term relationship with this office for our dental care. read more

Professionalism and courtesy at Smiles Northridge far exceeded my expectations. Just making an appointment at some offices is daunting, but Jennifer's friendliness and competence on the phone and in person immediately put me at ease. Wait time is remarkably brief; I very much appreciate the consideration for patient's time. Eugenia is highly skilled and friendly. Though I was just expecting an initial exam, Dr. Sam was willing to take care of a few procedures on my first day. His expertise, thoroughness, and attention to detail surpasses most dental experiences I have had. He clearly explains each procedure as well as insurance issues--no surprises. Fantastic team and service at Smiles Northridge--highly recommended! read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Barkhordar at Smile Northridge. He really knows his stuff when it comes to new dental tech and complex implants. I was originally quoted for a sinus procedure at another office, but he was able to avoid it completely. I'm so relieved I didn't have to go through that! On top of being a great dentist, he has a huge heart. He went out of his way to help with the pricing so I could actually afford the work. Truly thankful for everything he did. read more

Dr. Sam is the best. I am very happy to have found his dentistry in Northridge. I recommend him to all my friends and family. He knows his profession inside out and has a great personality. And not expensive at all. Very affordable. Thank you Dr. Sam. read more

If I can only give Dr. Sam more than 5 stars I would! I was kindly greeted with Jen in the front with a warm smile and appreciated how accommodating she was with my schedule, courtesy calls and texts! Dr. Sam was so personable, he even popped in the lobby to greet me as I was filling out the paper work! Eugenia was so sweet with all her assistance to Dr. Sam, explaining the process and made me feel comfortable. Implants can be so intimidating with its lengthy and scary process but Dr. Sam is knowledgeable and explained every step. I was so relaxed and the procedure felt so smooth. Dr. Sam also identified other issues I need to take care of that my other dentists never cared to mentioned shows how much he cares for your dental health and being. I called about 15 dentists in the valley and their prices were outrageous! Dr. Sam is beyond reasonable, affordable and you can tell it's more for his passion in building confident smiles. I see why it's called Smiles Northridge, not only are your teeth fixed but you leave with a warm smile knowing how great the experience was! THANK YOU!!!! read more

I can't recommend Dr. Sam enough! He's one of the best dentist I've been to. The wait is rarely more than a few minutes, and the office is incredibly accommodating with schedule changes--which is a lifesaver when things come up last minute. You can even text with the receptionist if you're running late, which makes everything so much less stressful. What really sets Dr. Sam apart is how much he respects your time. I've been to other offices where they drag things out, doing just one tiny procedure per visit and making you come back week after week. Not here. Dr. Sam understands that taking time off work or away from family isn't always easy, so he gets as much done as possible in one visit without ever making you feel rushed. He's also extremely kind, honest, and upfront about everything--including his pricing, which is very fair. It's clear he genuinely cares about his patients. If you're looking for a dentist who's skilled, thoughtful, and easy to work with, Dr. Sam is the one. Highly recommend! read more

Best dentist I've been to. I can't recommend them enough. If you're like me and COVID interrupted your usual dental routine, this is a great place to get back on track. They make it simple to schedule an appointment or followup if you need one. There is plenty of parking around the building and rideshare can drop off at more than one door that's right next to their office. My new Anthem's Essential Choice Incentive dental PPO has immediate coverage without waiting periods and I had a lot of questions. They helped me make sure I knew what I was being charged before anything was done so there were no surprises with my new insurance. It was great and left me feeling like it was about my health instead of how much they can bill. No pressure or upsell through the process. I will definitely be back again for regular cleanings and everything else. You should too. You can trust them with your teeth read more

I was referred to Smiles Northridge after just having some of the worst dental care experience of my life, so I walked in cautious and unsure what to expect. Dr. Sam, Eugenia, and Jenna completely changed that. From the first visit, they communicated clearly about my cosmetic procedure and patiently answered every question and concern I had. Their honesty and attentiveness gave me back something I didn't think I'd feel again: trust and confidence in my dental care. Thank you all so much! I highly recommend if you're in need of a new dental team! read more

Great dental office with very friendly staff and excellent service. Everyone was welcoming, professional, and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. You can tell they truly care about their patients. Highly recommend! read more

Wonderful experience. It was my first visit and I was very nervous. I hadn't been to the dentist in 10 years. The staff was wonderful. Made me feel very comfortable and eased my worries.

I have been looking for a dentist for my mom for the longest! And I can finally say I found the best dental Implant Dr. in the valley! I can't recommend him enough. Thank you Dr. Sam for taking care of my mom. He not only helped her right away, he also called her personally the next day to see how she was feeling. He is the best dentist ever. 10/10 recommend. read more

I always feel cared for by the team at Smiles Northridge. They were the first dental office I came to when I moved to the valley and so glad it was a pleasant experience from the start. Easy teeth cleanings, fillings, and seals. Every thing has been done with gentle touch and high quality. Last year I accidentally chose HMO for my dental insurance which I found out later they do not accept. So for this year I changed back to PPO so I didn't have to find another dentist. Can't imagine going anywhere else. Thank you Dr. Sam and Eugenia! read more

Dr. Sam, It was a pleasure to meet you and everyone in the office. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Dr. Sam is the best. No dentist was able to fix my wisdom tooth but he did and the pain is gone. He is caring and very gentle, always takes the time to explain. I am terrified of dentists but they make everything so comfortable here They have TV for you to watch while you're at waiting. The office is clean and welcoming. Parking is good because they are in a shopping center located on the first floor. I highly recommend. 10/10 recommend!! read more

After my longtime dentist retired, I spent the last two years searching for someone new with adequate expertise and affordable cost. It was a disappointment after disappointment until yesterday, while browsing Yelp again, I came across Smiles Northridge, which had an impressive number of five star reviews. I called, and to my surprise, Dr Sam was able to fit me in the same day to address a concern I had with my tooth. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by the friendly office manager and Dr Sam himself. He is incredibly kind, highly professional, and clearly very experienced. Dr Sam is a magician, I felt no pain or discomfort as he was fixing my teeth. During the visit, he not only addressed my immediate concern but identified and treated several other issues I hadn't been aware of. Dr Sam's main concern are his patients. I can't express how relieved and happy I am to have found Dr Sam. It's such a comfort knowing that my family's dental care is now in such capable and compassionate hands. read more

I've had the best experiences every time I go to Smiles Northridge. All of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

I've been coming here for over 8 years and honestly i highly recommend it to everyone. Staff is great , super friendly and very hygienic.

Just going to preface this review in saying: FOR YEARS I've had extreme anxiety when visiting the dentist. It's caused me to only see the dentist when I really needed to. Today was one of those times. My husband had seen Dr. Sam a couple years ago and really liked him, so he was my first call when this happened. I had lost a filling (between the teeth) a couple years ago that had always bothered me, so I wasn't quick to get it fixed. This led to a very deep cavity in the side of the tooth that I hadn't noticed. A week or so ago I bit something wrong and it ended up cracking my tooth in the weakened area. I was losing chunks of the tooth just randomly through the day. From the start, the staff and Dr. Sam handled me and my situation with lots of care. They constantly checked on my anxiety level, my pain level (at one time I yelped so he immediately stopped and numbed me more), and always kept me informed on everything he was doing and what I would feel (if anything). I went through extraction surgery and implant surgery today and not once did I feel like I wasn't in very capable hands. I wish I got everyone else's names, but the receptionist and his assistant were absolute angels as well. Thank you so much, Dr. Sam for all the care that went in to today. From the specials and discounts to the expertise in answering my questions to aftercare explanations... and everything in between. Support this business... its run on a true care for their patients. read more

I've known Dr. Sam for many years, and I've been coming to Smiles northridge for just as many years. He is a wonderful dentist and a great friend. Always does great work and makes me feel comfortable, I get worried when my teeth are involved and Dr. Sam and Eugeina always make sure I'm okay and asks throughout the appointment if I am doing okay to make sure I'm comfortable. Very nice staff and a very professional friendly place. I recommend going to this local dentistry. read more

Dr. Sam and his team are incredible! Growing up low-income, I always had trouble finding an affordable and reliable dentist office and due to that I had a lot of dentist anxiety until I met Dr. Sam and his team thanks to my insurance. I could not ask for a better group of people to treat my cavities and provide me with a tooth implant. The doctor is gentle, patient and communicates with his clients and team excellently. After every appointment, he gives me important information for keeping my teeth healthy especially the teeth he worked on. His dedication to his work shows through his focus and care for his patients. He is very kind to me and other patients I see him talking to. I cannot recommend this office enough. They are fantastic, thank you. read more

The doctor is fantastic! This place is amazing and I recommend him not only to friends and family but to anyone who needs a dentist. I would give him a a 10/10 if i could! He works with you and listens to you. read more

Dr. Sam and company have one of the best customer service I've had. They also have fair prices. They will guide you throughout the whole process and will educate you as well while you're at it. Dr. Sam was very gentle during my crown and dental filling process. Even though my teeth were somewhat sensitive, he made sure to do it slowly and take his take to make me feel as comfortable as possible, and not focus on finishing it as fast as possible. I've had 2 major 2-3 hour visits now and will definitely come back again for my future dental needs. read more

Terrible experience, lied about accepting my insurance and tried to be shady. Avoid coming here

Amazing, knowledgeable, conscientious, and a very caring and friendly doctor. The doctor cares very much about doing an excellent job on what is needed as opposed to increasing the cost. The staff is also very professional and friendly. The Smiles Northridge for any dental work is very much recommended. read more
