Her calm, kind, and gentle demeanor - combined with her expertise - made…read moremy dental experience actually enjoyable :) I had previously gone to a different dentist who - after never having a single cavity in my entire life - told me I had 11 cavities over the course of 3 years. I decided to get a second opinion after my most recent appointment (where they told me I had 5 new cavities) and I'm so happy I did! Dr. Monica assured me I only had one cavity, so I ended up continuing my care with her and getting it filled. I highly recommend her if you're in need of a dentist!

I had been seeing Dr. Monica Moussanejad at Tarzana Smile Design for several years. She did a…read morepermanent lower bridge that came off after five months. Dr. Moussanejad re-cemented it with--as she put it--"Stronger Cement." Well, her technician mixed the cement & I figured anyone can hire an incompetent so I forgave her. I later needed an upper partial bridge & I had Dr. Monica do it. I was happy to see that an oral camera was used that takes digital photos. After three adjustments, it was perfect. So, of course when I needed a partial lower bridge in 2-2026, I saw Dr. Monica again. I first suspected problems with her lab when her office called to reschedule twice - once to say the bridge wasn't completed & the second time to say "The bridge was lost." Obviously, she's using a different lab - unprofessional, but cheaper for her, since part of the cost is her lab fee. On 4-9-26, the office called to come in for a fitting. When I arrived, expecting to finally get a bridge, Dr. Monica, instead pulled a wax blank with no teeth out of a bag & tried unsuccessfully to press it on my gums, which was very painful. And when I say it was painful, I have to qualify that since "Painful" is a relative term. I'm used to dental pain. I've had 30 root canals, 30 crowns, nine extractions & gum surgery. I didn't understand why the Dr. would do the fitting that cheap way when she already charged me $125.00 for a digital camera fitting several weeks earlier. Apparently, the lab Dr. Monica now uses doesn't have digital equipment or isn't trained in its use. So, the $125.00 was a "Gift." On 4-21-26 after not hearing from the office, I called & the receptionist apologized for the bridge taking so long. Well, an employee who wants to stay employed has to be skilled at apologizing & making excuses so, no surprise there. She said the bridge should be ready by 4-30-26 & made another appointment. On 5-1-26, the bridge was tried on & when it was pressed in place, it felt like sharp knives cutting into my gums; more painful than any extraction or root canal I've had. When I nearly jumped out of the chair, Dr. Monica pretended not to notice & suggested wearing the bridge for a few hours to "Get used to it." Three more adjustments didn't help & by then I noted swelling, infection, bleeding & throbbing pain on my gums. Dr. Monica then wrote a prescription for an ointment that was supposed to help the sore areas heal & she suggested wearing the bridge again the next day, which was impossible. What I needed (and wasn't getting) was a bridge that fit, made by skilled lab technicians like my previous partial; not more prescriptions to repair the damage caused by incompetence. On 5-8-26 the pain became unbearable. I returned the poor-fitting bridge on 5-11-26. I wasn't about to risk a similar situation a few years ago when a dentist performed an incompetent & incomplete root canal that resulted in four days in Intensive Care & two weeks hospitalization for Sepsis - a deadly infection that resulted. After spending $2,700.00, I have to shop for a competent dentist to redo the bridge, while eating out of a blender for five months, since I have no bottom molars. On 6-17-26, the receptionist at Tarzana Smile Design phoned me & made a ridiculous offer to refund half of the cost of the bridge, which means I will have spent $1,275.00 for nothing, plus another $2,250.00 for another dentist to do a competent bridge. I find that unacceptable. Obviously, patients no longer matter; what matters is how much money can be squeezed out of their patients. Suggestion: Think twice about having Tarzana Smile Design as your dentist. The practice isn't what it used to be.

I had an appointment for x-rays, but unfortunately, I forgot my ID. I've been seeing my previous…read moredentist since I was a pediatric patient, so I was unprepared to present my driver's license. I had my credit cards, insurance card, and even my COVID vaccine info all loaded up on my phone, but no ID. I completely understand that policies are in place, and if no ID no service is the rule, so be it. However, the reason for my 0-star rating is the tone of the interaction. Forgetting your ID is a simple mistake, but the front office made no attempt to find a solution. We all know how busy life gets, and I took time out of my day to show up. So the attitude I got from the front staff felt unnecessary and frustrating. Also, it was disappointing that the office didn't try to find a more customer-friendly resolution. I could have provided my credit cards, social security number, or even my previous exam records (which they had a copy of)--my crowns are still in the same places! I didn't get to experience the positive interactions others have shared, and that's a real shame.

Dr. K, no words, a sweet person, the most professional and very personable. It's a small intimate office so it's very tailored to your needs. The girls that were there are great too. They call to confirm your appointments and there's so much flexibility- which I very much appreciate when I've had to reschedule! Thanks Veronica! So I started coming here for my cleanings and check ups and then I did Invisalign, and finally I'm doing my composite veneers/bonding- each thing I do, is done so well, I have no regrets bringing my business here.

He was great and did it so fast I literally was out of there in like 15min. no lie. Fast forward to dec 2025 unfortunately the best dentist I've ever had retired so I made an appt back here. Idk if they hurting money wise but the general dentist tried to SCAM me. I have great insurance. I was already riddled with anxiety and let them know that when I was there. Remind you I made an appt for my 6month cleaning. This dentist comes in literally tells me all these things I KNOW I don't have ie cavities bc I go to the dentist regularly and take good care of my teeth. Asked if I had a deep cleaning (ain't you the dentist you should KNOW fool). Then told me my root canal needed to be redone FALSE!! Then I have like a round thing at my gum wanted me to go to the oral surgeon who only works 1 day a week for 2-3hrs bc it could be a tumor and the coordinator telling me they want to make sure I don't need to go to a medical doctor (SO YOU TRYNA TELL ME I HAVE CANCER WTFFFF). After alllllllll of this he didn't even clean my teeth!!!!! So I definitely did the mature thing and got a new dentist and 2nd opinion from someone who gave a damn about the patient not the money!! Sad that SCAMMERS can be in an industry that REQUIRES so much empathy!!!

That is no small thing. For anyone who has dealt with the embarrassment and frustration of a long-term dental workaround, you know how daunting it can be to find the right specialist.

She listened, she gave me real hope, and for the first time in what feels like forever, I'm actually excited about fixing something that has bothered me for so long. The combination of trust, expertise, and genuine care she showed me is exactly what I needed to finally take this step.

AWFUL. My dentist recently retired so when I suddenly developed a toothache I went to Dr. Levy…read morebecause he was in my area. The staff reassured me that the x-rays would not be more than $40 (because I had just had x-rays with my other dentist and wasn't inclined to pay for a new set). Before I even walked to my car I had a text demanding $95. My insurance EOB stated that I owed $0 for the appointment so now they are insisting the $95 is for the x-rays. Umm, no at a maximum I was told I'd pay $40. Then Dr. Levy told me I needed to see the endodontist in his office. I was VERY careful. I spoke with his staff (with him standing right there), and confirmed that it would be covered as a co-pay only with my insurance. They said it would be so I went to this completely unhelpful endodontist who looked in my mouth for a few minutes and basically shrugged and said she didn't know why I had a toothache. For this privilege I was billed $238. ALMOST $350 IN BILLS FOR NO TREATMENT, DIAGNOSIS OR ADVICE. And those bills are counter to what they told me. I should have recorded the conversations - oh wait, that would be illegal, but I guess lying about billing practices isn't. They have been horrible to deal with. I will be filing a formal complaint, fighting the bill, and will never go back. I feel completely ripped off and scammed.

Which makes it infuriating that the front desk is the reason why they've permanently lost my business. I was a loyal patient here for years. Spotless billing history, never a problem. Then one Friday I got caught in the 405 traffic that anyone in LA knows is a coin flip, called ahead to say I was running late, and as I was parking right outside their door -- 20 minutes late -- they cancelled my appointment. No offer to wait for the next opening. No attempt to rebook. No flexibility whatsoever. Just a cancellation, followed by a bill for an appointment that never happened. Then it got worse. I called three times -- calmly, reasonably -- to ask them to drop the charge for a service I never received. Three times I got the same cold, dismissive answer: lateness is billable, read the fine print. Years of loyalty meant nothing. No goodwill, no judgment, no interest in keeping a long-term patient over a single traffic jam. Just a hand out, demanding money for an empty chair. That's the whole relationship to them: not a patient, a line item. So they've lost my business -- permanently -- and I'll be telling everyone I know to think twice before handing this office their trust or their money. The dentistry is good. But you have to get past a front desk that will bill you for nothing, lecture you for asking, and treat years of loyalty like it never happened. Not worth it. Go somewhere that remembers you're a person. What a shame, all for $145. Good thing this town has thousands of other choices who provide equivalent care with exceptional service.
