What an amazing place!…read more I brought my 11-year-old son to see Dr. Romero today, and we had the best experience. From the moment we walked in, the office was incredibly clean and very kid-friendly. They even have video games in the waiting room, which immediately made my son feel more comfortable. The front desk staff was so helpful and kind, assisting me with my insurance and making everything easy and stress-free. Dr. Romero had to remove one of my son's molars, and he was very nervous. But Dr. Romero and his team were incredibly patient and reassuring -- they talked to him calmly and even put on a movie to help him relax. The procedure went so smoothly that my son didn't feel a thing! At the end, he even gave Dr. Romero a fist bump This was truly the best experience we've had. We will definitely be coming back to Dr. Romero. Highly recommend!

I'm not one that normally posts on Yelp as a matter fact when I started using the Flintridge Dental…read moreGroup just about a month ago I felt the need to reactivate my Yelp account so I could post some of the positive experiences that I've had there since I started using them. Today I just left their office after coming in on a day that they are normally closed. I was having an issue with a temporary getting ready for a crown and when I called instead of them saying sorry we're closed today, come in tomorrow, the lovely receptionist simply said I will contact the doctor and I will get back to you. Within 10 minutes I received a text msg. for me to come in today at 1:30. The issue is resolved and the discomfort is gone. The caring attitude is displayed by all staff from the moment you walk in till the time you bid a fond farewell. Ted (Vietnam Veteran)

I met with Dr. Azin Rezaei, and my first impression was she being an honest caring Dentist. I had…read moremy xrays done and yes, I needed quite a bit of work. I also had dental insurance so I figured it wouldn't be so bad. Her receptionist Ashley came into the room with a print out of the work I would need. She showed me the cost of each procedure $0.00 for the insurance and my portion. I asked her what would the insurance be paying and I was told nothing as they won't pay for the services I need. Ashley said she had worked with Delta for years and these services they won't pay for, Dr. Rezai agreed. I took the papers mind you it was about 8k out of pocket. I let this settle overnight while unsettling my suspicions. I called Delta myself to verify their story and it turned out Delta did cover some of the services they were billing me for. I'm a bit perturbed now and called the office to share the good news however not so good for them as they both told me it was a lie they don't pay for those services, perhaps not the price tag they were billing however atleast 7k of it they would pay. I told them I spoke with Delta personally and it was verified. I told Dr Rezai I would call Delta with her on the phone so she could hear the confirmation from Delta themselves. I called Delta and of course they confirmed and I heard a nervous laugh coming from Dr. Rezai, so I ended the call with Delta with Dr. Rezai on the phone I said so you heard the conversation and she said, no I wasn'ton the phone, "when are you going to call Delta?" What,? I called and you were on the phone, because I heard you nervously chuckle, she denied it. I'm upset now and so is she because she was caught. I said ok, I'll call them back. Once again she is on the phone with a second confirmation. She then began asking them some other fictitious codes and by now the rep at Delta was becoming annoyed not only at the codes of billing were absurd to the rep the Dr kept speaking over the rep as she tried explaining the correct codes and the fact that they do pay for some of the services they were going to bill me for. Unfortunately that encounter left a bad taste in my mouth and definitely violated trust of a potential patient. Is this called double dipping? They were hoping to get 8k out of me then bill my insurance company knowing some of the services were actually covered. Oh, another thing I found odd, she asked me to open my mouth to check the roof of my mouth, hmmm ok, she immediately said oh you were a bottle fed baby because of the high roof.., hmmm ok, perhaps she provides some sort of Palette procedure? I don't know, I do know at 64 yrs old it hasn't interfered with my eating, drinking, or speech, and if it has, I'll live with this at my big ol age of 64. On a up note she seemed very caring.

For me, feeling comfortable while sitting in a dental chair (mouth open for what feels like forever) is essential, and they truly excel at putting me at ease. They take the time to explain procedures, check in throughout the appointment, and ensure everything is done thoroughly and thoughtfully. I've had my wisdom teeth removed, routine cleanings, and crowns placed and every experience has been smooth and professional, with excellent results. Their office runs efficiently, and you can tell they genuinely care about their patients' comfort and long-term dental health. I have had no complaints with any service and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dental team.

I've had a number of oral surgical procedures by Dr. Niemann in his office in La Cañada,…read moreCalifornia. I have felt very secure with his surgical management of my dental issues. I've had three implants installed, as well as, three extractions and two bone graft procedures. All of my surgeries have gone well and I have had no complications. His demeanor and bedside manner inspire confidence and security. He clearly explains the problems that he planning to correct and the details of the procedure in a way that is easy for me to understand and ensures my peace of mind. His practice seems to run on time and parking is easy and free. When I call the office, I find that I'm immediately speaking to a person and my issues are handled promptly. They've made every effort to exhaust reimbursement through my insurance, as well. The balance cost for my treatment has always felt fair and reasonable. He has CT unit in his office that he makes good use of. He's able to generate three dimensional images of my facial skeleton, clearly demonstrating the anatomy surrounding my upper and lower jaw tissues. These 3-D images make the process even more transparent, and easy to understand. He answers all my questions directly and confidently. He clearly has a lot of experience in this field. I would highly recommend Dr. Niemann for dental implant surgery, particularly in situations where there is bone loss associated with dental extractions or bone cysts requiring bone grafting. He gives his personal cell phone number to his patients so that there is no delay in managing postoperative questions or issues. There are many oral surgeons in this area and one might choose one randomly or based on advertising - but for those people who don't have any recommendation, I believe, based on my experience with him over more than two years, that he will provide excellent service at a fair price and will be responsive to any issue that arises. Additionally, my husband is a surgeon and he has attended has all of my visits with Dr. Niemann. He also has great confidence in and would highly recommend this oral surgeon.

I've seen many dentists, many of them good and unfortunately a few bad ones too. Once you find a…read moregreat dentist though, you hang onto them. I've been with my dentist for 17 years, 10+ of those years moved up to the Bay Area and making the 5-6hr commute back and forth. Well, life happens and during my last check with Most Awesome General Dentist; turns out I need a root canal and was recommended to Dr. John Pratte as a "Diplomate" dentist. What is that? I asked a robot and this is what I learned: Achieving diplomate status in dentistry, particularly for specialties like endodontics, is a prestigious accomplishment that represents the highest level of expertise in the field. Here's what it generally involves: 1. Advanced Education and Specialty Training: After earning a dental degree (e.g., DDS or DMD), a dentist must complete additional years of postgraduate training in their specialty, such as endodontics, periodontics, or orthodontics. This involves clinical, hands-on training and deep study of the specialty. 2. Board Certification: To become a diplomate, a dentist must pass rigorous board certification exams specific to their specialty. This typically includes: Written Exam: Testing the candidate's knowledge of all facets of their specialty. Clinical Exam or Case Presentations: Submitting complex case studies or undergoing a practical exam to demonstrate hands-on expertise and problem-solving abilities in their specialty. Oral Exam: Being questioned by a board of experts on clinical cases, treatment planning, and specialized knowledge to assess clinical judgment and expertise. 3. Experience and Case Portfolio: Many boards require candidates to complete and submit a portfolio of complex cases they've treated successfully, showcasing their proficiency and commitment to high standards of care. 4. Continuing Education and Recertification: Once they achieve diplomate status, many boards require ongoing continuing education and periodic recertification to ensure they remain up-to-date with advancements in their field. 5. Commitment to Excellence: Diplomates are often required to uphold strict ethical standards and demonstrate a commitment to advancing their specialty through research, teaching, or service within the professional community. In short, becoming a diplomate is a mark of dedication, clinical excellence, and a deep commitment to providing the highest standard of patient care in their specialty. It signifies that the practitioner has gone well beyond the basic requirements of dental practice. _______________________ So I just want to say that I highly appreciate the expertly skilled precision of Dr. Pratte's deft and nimble hands. He has a very professional demeanor while also being quite warm and personable. (And those diplomate credentials tell you that you're getting the very best of the very best!!!)

I've had good teeth my whole life and I recently realized this dentist lied to me multiple times…read moreabout needing fillings for cavities that weren't actually real cavities. He uses this light technology and convinced me that some natural grooves on my tooth were tooth decay and rudely answered that he knew better when I asked how he knew that wasn't just natural tooth texture. I came back for fillings and even his assistant looked confused when we were drilling as he overexplained the "cavities". I got skeptical and the dentist refused to show me the X-rays after he did the fillings. The next time I came he tried to convince me on getting more cavities filled but I did my research and pushed back and said I only wanted it filled if certain characteristics showed up in the X-ray only, and not his light tech. He also lied about nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste being able to fill carries when I asked. He just wants your money. I have 11 fillings over seeing this scamming dentist over the course of 3-4 years that I probably didn't need. Awful experience. Don't go here.
