    You're probably reading these reviews the same as I did before choosing to visit. I'm always…read moreskeptical when anything gets mainly 5 star reviews, but figured I'd give them a try. As is true with all the other reviews, I'm now a believer. I loved my last dentist, but he's now 2500 miles away. This experience was equally as good. The quality of the equipment for x-rays is far superior to what I've seen previously. And the assistant who took the x-rays was both efficient and had a lovely personality. When I got to see the dentist she had all the information necessary to determine whether anything needed attention. I explained that at my age (70+) I wasn't interested in anything cosmetic and preferred a conservative approach. She respected me and made no attempt to upsell me on anything. I left feeling extremely comfortable that if I need any dental work she'll be a partner who is most interested in my care. I also was able to have a cleaning immediately after the exam. That, too, was professional and thorough. I thought the charges for everything were very reasonable.

    I had both my Invisalign treatment and later a teeth cleaning done here, and I've been extremely…read morehappy with every experience.

    I had a very disappointing experience at Healthy Smiles Dental in Sherman Oaks and would strongly…read moreadvise others to proceed with caution. Before my appointment, no one reviewed or explained the charges for my deep cleaning. I have dual PPO insurance, and I know deep cleanings are covered, yet I was still charged a significant out-of-pocket amount. I was never informed that a laser would be used, nor that it would be an additional charge per quadrant. I assumed it was part of the standard procedure. This was never discussed or consented to prior to treatment. Even more concerning, my son and I were separated and taken to different rooms, and they proceeded to do multiple fillings on my son without ever informing me how many were needed or asking for my consent. No one came to explain the treatment plan before starting, during my own procedure, or afterward. As a parent, this is completely unacceptable. At no point was I given a clear treatment plan or cost breakdown for either of us. Despite having dual insurance coverage, I was still charged $621 out of pocket. When I asked for an itemized receipt, I was told they could not provide one, which is a huge red flag. This office feels extremely money-driven, with poor communication and questionable consent practices. I truly regret not paying closer attention to the reviews before booking here. Transparency, consent, and trust are critical in healthcare--and this office failed on all three. Please avoid this place and protect yourself and your family.

    I really wanted to like TruGlo. The offices are beautiful (especially the Beverly Hills location),…read morethe staff is friendly, and the reviews are stellar. Unfortunately, after being a patient for several months, I completely lost trust in the practice and ultimately switched dentists. A few examples: 1) The upselling and pricing explanations never sat right with me. One of the first recommendations I received was for a deep cleaning, which is significantly more expensive than a standard cleaning. When I asked why it was necessary, the primary explanation seemed to be that I had received one in the past. Maybe there were legitimate reasons, but I never felt like I received a clear explanation based on the actual condition of my teeth and gums. In fact, the hygienist also said she could not do a standard cleaning because she could 'be held liable'. I was shocked. More broadly on more than one occasion, I often felt pressured to add services and then told they were essentially "free" or "only a few dollars" because the charges could be applied against my $150 deposit or membership credit. That logic never made sense to me. It's still my money. It felt like the office would recommend additional treatments and then use money I had already paid to make the cost sound insignificant. The whole thing felt more like a sales tactic than transparent healthcare pricing. What really made me question things was when I showed my treatment plan and charges to a few dentist friends. Several of them were surprised by some of the extra fees and told me those were things many dentists typically don't charge for separately. I understand every office is different, but by that point it was hard not to feel like the practice was looking for every opportunity to bill for something. 2) I lost confidence after a crown procedure. Before getting a crown, I specifically told the dentist that I used Invisalign and even brought my trays with me. I was assured the crown would be shaped so my trays would still fit afterward. The crown itself was fine, but my Invisalign trays no longer fit. I ended up having to spend hundreds of dollars and significant time getting new trays made. To make matters worse, the office later told me they would try to help by providing a complimentary scan. Based on that conversation, I made a special trip back to the office, only to be told when I arrived that they couldn't do it after all. The whole interaction felt very dismissive. No one seemed particularly concerned that I had made the trip based on their earlier assurances, and there was little effort to take accountability for the situation. 3) The stellar reviews make more sense now. Patients are offered complimentary services (such as fluoride treatments) in exchange for leaving a review, and you're asked to show the review before receiving the free service. While everyone is free to leave whatever review they want, it definitely made me view the overwhelmingly positive ratings a little differently. To be fair, the office is beautiful and many of the employees are genuinely kind. But between the upselling, the Invisalign issue, the communication problems, and the review incentives, I ultimately decided to take my dental care elsewhere.

Last year I broke a front tooth crown and needed a dental implant. The last step was to I stall the permanent implant and upon meeting Dr. Hendizadeh, she went right to work learning about my situation, addressing my concerns with empathy, quoting me a reasonable price, and scheduling me for an evaluation. She shaped my gums to look better than my original smile and now I'm finally in the waiting period to receive my permanent implant. I know the results will be great because the temporary looks good. The office is clean and pleasant and the parking was free (for 2 hours) and convenient. I would highly recommend this dentist who works well beyond expectations to meet her patients' needs.

During my recent visit, it seemed like Dr. Ghiam tried getting the two receptionists to talk me into scheduling future appointments. Towards the end of that appointment, the two front desk staffs came into the room I was in and tried convincing me that future appointments were necessary to "fix the damage." I felt like this was simply a way for the doctor to get more money from me because I have been a patient there for a year and he would put minimal effort in fixing the issue during the teeth cleaning appointments. I've reached out to the office multiple times to obtain my dental records from all visits and they were deliberately sending me files that were corrupted or unopenable to complicate the situation. If you weren't going to fix the issue then be transparent about it and give me my money back. But don't lie and say you're going to repair the damages if you have no intentions in doing so just so you can keep the money. If you're looking for a cosmetic dentist that's built on trust and transparency, look somewhere else because the one here does not meet those standards.
