One of the things I appreciate most is that they are always on time. I never have to sit around and wait for my appointment. The entire staff is professional, welcoming, and genuinely caring.

I've been going to this dental group for years and have always been loyal to the practice, which is…read morewhy it's disappointing to see how much the customer service has declined recently. The biggest frustration is that they are no longer willing to bill insurance on my behalf, leaving the patient to deal with the insurance process themselves. After years of being a patient, I find this especially disappointing. On top of that, it seems increasingly difficult to actually reach someone at the office. You have to jump through hoops just to get a live person on the phone, and when you finally do, the interaction often feels rushed and as though they are annoyed that you called. I understand that offices get busy, but customer service and communication are a big part of the overall patient experience. Unfortunately, the level of service I've received recently is very different from what I experienced when I first became a patient. After being with this practice for years, I'm now seriously reconsidering whether it's the right fit for me going forward.

The dental rooms felt outdated, older equipment. She rushed me through an appointment I booked same day since I had some pain, and the visit was quick. She gave me meds. I felt it was time to go. I started with Smile Care this pass year. Smile Care's office is clean, up to date with their equipment, and their care team is Excellent with their communications with me regarding my oral health. Dr. Hedvat is nice, and a straight shooter. I am not sure he knows he has a sense of humor, but he makes me laugh. Dolores, the hygienist - well, she is amazing. I let her know that I am very sensitive to the epi when I am there for the deep cleaning, and she conquers it, and allows me to be epi free with minimal discomfort. She's gentle, kind, and funny. Overall, I enjoy the professionalism of Smile Care. I can have Dr. Hedvat do my annual care, and within that, he has a care team prepared for all your oral care needs.

As a dental professional myself, I can recognize and truly appreciate a great dental office--and…read moreDr. Fridman and her team took excellent care of me today! I finally got the courage to go in and get my own dental work done! Just like many patients, I had been procrastinating because of fear, cost, and all the usual excuses. I am SO glad I finally went. The office is beautiful, and the entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. They also have great technology, including a digital scanner and AI, which helped make the whole visit informative, efficient, and effective. But most importantly, the experience was friendly and PAINLESS! As a dentist myself, I have to give special recognition to Dr. Fridman's anesthetic technique--it was honestly one of the best I have personally experienced. My procedure went quickly and painlessly, and I even got to see the before-and-after photos and X-rays. Excellent work and a great experience from beginning to end. Thank you very much, Dr. Fridman and the entire Fridman Family Dental Care team. You guys just earned another PFL--Patient For Life!

My story: I was "grandfathered in" as a patient from Dr. Barry Weber Family dental practice…read more Service from Dr. Weber and team was very warm, friendly, and personable. When the business was sold, I was switched to Dr. Fridman herself. She was ok, but not as reassuring and comforting as Dr. Weber. Then, I was unexpectedly switched to Dr. Fariq for a procedure, but I had not yet gained a level of trust and comfort with Dr. Fariq. At that point, I felt like a commodity. The providers at Fridman Dental may indeed be great. Just be aware you may feel treated more like a business asset than a sensitive and vulnerable human being. At my last visit I requested for Dr. Fridman to call me to discuss this issue. I never got a call back from her, so I decided to share my feedback here, instead.

I had a PRP microneedling treatment with Sabina, and from the moment I was greeted to the moment I…read morewalked out, the experience was nothing short of top-tier. Thoughtful, elevated, and seamless. My skin? Aging in reverse. I struggle with melasma, and I could see a noticeable difference even after the treatment. My skin looked brighter, smoother, and visibly refreshed. Truly an incredible experience.

You know the routine, I saw the advertisement, completed a questionnaire, someone called, we spoke,…read morethey asked more questions and I scheduled an appointment. Once I arrived the wait was a bit longer than I expected. Finally I was called by the receptionist who whispered, "I don't know if they told you, but there's a $450 payment due before you can see the doctor, and we don't accept insurance." "You can see if your insurance will reimburse you, they might since this is considered preventative." I laughed and said No, I wasn't told. I'd driven over an hour so I paid it. After I paid the $450 I sat about 10 minutes and someone came smiling to take me on a "Tour" of the office. Yes, the office is "High Tech" I felt as if it was staged and all who played a part would get a bit of the $450 I payed that day. The two brothers, I believe one is a DDS were very relaxed and there was just something different about them. I felt as if they were putting on an act. After showing me the office they took X-rays, showed me and explained a bit of the procedures, answered questions and back to the waiting room. I was then called into an office and presented with some suggested minerals to take prior to beginning the procedure, $165. Next came the cost. Glad I was sitting down because $46,000 would have floored me. This spoke volumes to me. I honestly didn't feel comfortable from the receptionist whispering, to the DDS coming in the room gocking at me, to the person selling me the minerals. Have you ever been somewhere you know you're not welcome. That's how I felt. I'd actually spend the money if I felt welcomed and treated the same as the others who came in. So for me it's a NO! If I'm to spend that amount of money it's going to be with a business who values my business and respects me as a person. And know, it's not what you say, but how you are treated!

I filled out all the necessary paperwork to get started. I only got to swipe right once, then a technician called me in. She was quick and meticulous taking x-rays. 5 minutes later after reviewing my x-rays, Dr. Tran came in did some tests on my tooth and gave me the diagnosis. Wasn't happy with the diagnosis, but very happy with my experience. I'll be going back for a cleaning after my root canal. : (

Patients get surprise bills, even years after service was rendered. They will maximize every possible charge without providing the patient with informed consent and the patient will later incur a $unexpected bill. Their front office staff hung up on me not once, not twice, but three times when I called to try to clarify charges which didn't make sense. It was surreal and very reminiscent of dealing with poorly behaved children who can't answer questions to clarify charges. We do not recommend this practice and are happily pulling our entire family out. Too many toxic situations with this practice and we have never experienced anything so awful in many years and numerous dental practices. Dr. Tran as a dentist has excellent skills and it's unfortunate his support staff are incompetent.

Going to the dentist usually feels like being summoned for jury duty - necessary, but not exactly…read moresomething you look forward to. But stepping into Anna Chuckman DDS in Valencia turned that notion on its head, making dental visits feel more like a VIP backstage concert pass. First off, their staff is friendlier than your favorite childhood cartoon character. Tammie is a superstar there and has been there for years. She knows your details better than you do. They navigate insurance policies with the skill of an Olympic gymnast sticking a perfect landing. And their tech? It's so cutting-edge, I half expected them to offer me a trip to space as part of my dental cleaning package. I had heard about procedures to make a crown as requiring multiple visits and multiple injections. They use artificial intelligence not only to help design the crown, but also to manufacture right there in the facility. So one hour later, I had a brand new 2023 model crown on my molar. No more waiting for the crown, no more temporary crown placement. Now let's talk about the Chuckmans, Anna and Adam. They're as easy to talk to as your best friend, with the bonus of not sharing embarrassing stories from your past. Their competence shines brighter than the overhead dental lamp, and they have this magical ability to ease anxiety, akin to a soothing lullaby during a thunderstorm. Initially, I was very anxious about getting a crown since I hadn't had one before. Plus, who wouldn't be if when you have a high-speed drill 2 inches away from your brain rotating at 10,000 RPM. However, after the initial anxiousness, I calmed down and they allowed me to go at my own pace. At one point I was so relaxed during the procedure that I almost asked if they could throw in a luxury treatment like a teeth whitening. In all seriousness, they made a typically nerve-wracking experience feel like a walk in a (very hygienic) park. In short, if you need a dental practice that treats you like royalty, navigates insurance like a pro, and uses tech that would make sci-fi fans jealous, Anna Chuckman DDS is your spot. They've got my seal of approval, five stars, and a hearty recommendation for anyone seeking a dentist who makes you smile in more ways than one.

The entire staff is friendly, professional, and truly cares about their patients. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and made to feel comfortable. The hygienists are gentle yet thorough, and the dentists take their time explaining everything clearly. They use the latest technology, and the office is spotless and modern. Highly recommend this office to anyone looking for quality care and a team that goes above and beyond!
