    Skilled doctor but not honest. Put unnecessary crown on my tooth two years ago. Current dentist is shocked.

    Excellent, honest and very decent place! Went in for crown estimates on root canal done some years…read moreago and was told by Dr Kim that in my case it was not necessary (unless for cosmetic reasons). [I came for second opinion as my dentist had insisted on the crowning with exorbitant prices!] I will definitely switch dentist now!

    Oddly enough, only two days before, I saw some ask for a recommendation for a root canal in a…read moreneighborhood Facebook group and many people have these guys rave reviews. Good to know, noted for future reference. Last night, I started having a toothache but being a stubborn kind of guy, I thought I would gut it out and everything would be just fine. I certainly didn't want to spend my last holiday vacation day going to the dentist. Just in case it got worse, I sent a FB message via Messenger around 1AM looking to get a response by the time I woke up in the morning. Surprisingly, someone responded within a few minutes. Well done, social media and a late night almost instant response. Scored points with me for sure. But I didn't sleep very well because of the toothache so at 5am, I set up an appt with my regular dentist online through his website. I called him an hour before just to make sure we were good but it turns out he was out of town and his staff didn't update his availability. Great! Went to the notebook on my phone and looked up the guys who got all the kudos and accolades. I looked up their reviews (all positive), looked up where they went to school and when they graduated (local guys), and etc. Someone on FB Messenger told me that the office was open at 9am and if I wanted to set up an appointment, they would be happy to take care of me. I called them after finding out my regular dentist wasn't in town and they gave me an appointment for three hours later, on a Sunday! I went in and they followed good social distancing practices, the place was clean, and the doc, Junoh Kim, walked me through everything that was going to happen, during, and after. He answered all my questions with pleasure and patience, no attitude, no judgement, no preaching, which is always appreciated. There wasn't anyone after me but he took his time, didn't rush through the process, and it was generally a good experience, considering it was a visit to the dentist on a Sunday during Thanksgiving weekend. I definitely recommend KW Dental and not that I look forward to the next visit, but I know that I will feel comfortable going to these guys in the future. 2020 is a weird year and businesses are all being affected so wanted to make sure to call these guys out for their good patient services.

    Update since my posted review: I received a voicemail from Dr. Artin Sakhaee, citing, "Jonathan,…read morethis is Dr. Sakai. I saw your review on Yelp. I'm very upset about this after what transpired last year. Okay? I would appreciate you taking down that review." What he is referring to is when I was in crisis, experiencing severe emotional distress, grieving the suicide of my 16-year-old sister, who took her own life on December 16, 2022. He has no right to be upset because I didn't do anything wrong, nor did he bring any concerns to my attention at any point. He should be showing empathy, not attempting to manipulate me to remove my post, which is not going to work on me. This would not be an issue if some of his front desk office staff did not engage in the behaviors referenced in this review! I have been a patient of Metropolitan Smiles since roughly 2015, and since then, the front desk staff and management have gone downhill regarding patient care, professionalism, and competence. My first experience regarding disregard for patient care, lack of professionalism, and incompetence started after I was seen on April 1st, 2025, and was advised I needed a nightguard due to nighttime grinding of my teeth. Gabriel stated the office manager had to run through my insurance, and it should take about 30 days to get a reply. 30 days went by, I followed up with Gabriel again, and she advised me that the manager never ran the claim through my insurance and that she would get back to me the following Friday; however, she never did. I made a formal complaint/ attempted to get a status update about my nightguard on May 20th, 2025, via email to Natalia, whom I was advised by Gabriel is the office manager. However, I never got a reply, which is her job to reply, and address this matter, just like it was/is the job of the front desk employees to follow up with me regarding the status of my nightguard failed to perform part of their obligated duties. I was seen on November 3rd, 2025, for my dental cleaning, and upon leaving, I followed up regarding my nightguard and was advised I would get a call by the end of the day. I have not received any update, and the front desk staff have failed to perform all of their duties and continue to display incompetence, unprofessionalism, and disregard for patient care and the overall well-being of patients. Dr. Artin Sakhaee is a great dentist; however, as the owner of this business, he is allowing the front desk staff and the office manager to damage the integrity of this business, which is not bad for business. He needs to make some serious changes at this office, which includes the firing of the front desk staff who breached their duty and failed to perform patient follow-ups, which is a very basic duty and not that difficult to do.

    Absolutely disgusting experience. This office cares about one thing: money…read more I paid $6,000 out of pocket for Invisalign. WITHOUT my knowledge or consent, they also billed my insurance $1,500 for what was clearly cosmetic treatment, even though my insurance does not cover cosmetic dental. I was never informed this would happen. That is completely unethical and feels extremely deceptive. Then after I finished my trays, I was told I couldn't move forward with refinements, despite being within the five-year refinement period that was part of my treatment. So after taking my money, they suddenly didn't want to help. This office has zero transparency and zero accountability. Once they get paid, you are no longer a priority. What makes it worse is that I had already seen the negative reviews about how they treat patients and how defensive and dismissive they are in their responses. That should have been my warning sign. I ignored it and gave them a chance, big mistake. I ended up transferring my case elsewhere and, after spending a total of $7,500 there, the new provider treated me with professionalism and integrity and helped me without additional charges. That alone shows the difference in ethics. This office should be ashamed of how they operate. Patients are not walking wallets. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere that actually values care over cash.
