It has been frustrating dealing with Anait Alabyan Dental Clinic that this coming August 2024 it will have been a one-year ordeal. My 78-year old mother sought this clinic's help in August 2023 to have her dentures fixed and up to now it's still pending. Granted there is a process with the insurance company but there is no consistency and efficiency in communication and action. In my last conversation in April, staff told me the insurance company was hacked so there was a halt in information flow. I was told I will be called the next day for an update but no call ever came. DO NOT TRUST that they will call you. Call them instead which is what I did seven weeks later, i.e. one month and a half. Why that long? I gave them more than enough time. Perhaps too much time. I called today, 06/18/24, and the staff I spoke with said she was out for the whole month of May and apparently no one took care of my mother's case. There was no endorsement whatsoever so the patient's case, as the staff herself put it, "FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS". She added there were too many patients to take care of. POOR STAFFING is most likely a problem in this dental clinic. This staff further tells me she will be leaving the clinic in two weeks and assured me someone will follow up and that the best thing she can do now is to put the patient on the priority list. What was one to do to be put on the priority list, I asked. She had no answer. We are losing confidence in this clinic. In the meantime the patient relies on her very old dentures for nutrition and tolerates them during awkward social situations. Will I get an update in time? Is there really a priority list? Will being put on it make any difference? Does the clinic care about patient feedback? Will it do something, anything to resolve unpleasant experiences. We'll see. The one-year mark is approaching. read more

Dr. Alabyan and her team are simply amazing. From the moment you step into her beautifully designed office, you feel at ease. The attention to detail in every aspect of care is impressive. Dr. Alabyan is not only thorough but also incredibly kind, making every visit a pleasant experience. Highly recommend her for anyone seeking exceptional dental care in a welcoming environment. read more

Pros: Staff is responsive, polite, and helpful Dr. Alabyan is respectful, an absolute PRO, and answers all your questions They're willing to communicate with other dentists They go out of their way to help solve problems they didn't create They take my Delta HMO! Cons: Can't think of any right now, I'm too grateful :-) I cannot express enough enthusiasm for the exceptional service & care I got from Dr. Alabyan and the rest of the team (extra special shout out to Maria!). I wholeheartedly recommend this office to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and down-to-earth dentist! More details if it's helpful: I'd been seeing Dr. Alabyan for about a decade, but moved to a new neighborhood and switched to a more local dentist the past few years. I had a pretty bad experience with them recently from bedside manner to actual dental work/recommendations, and was SO grateful when Dr. Alabyan and her team swooped in to save the day. I called their office SO MUCH while they were trying to help me figure out this issue with the other dentist, and not once did anyone act annoyed or frustrated with me... even though I was emailing/calling A LOT and it had been quite some time since I'd been a patient. Once I actually got what I needed and was able to be seen, they squeezed me in last minute. Dr. Alabyan was generous with her time and expertise to help me understand the problem and feel confident about what would happen next. (She even offered to keep working with the other dentist even though they were being very unprofessional!) I'm so grateful they were able to figure out the issue and get things taken care of. Can't recommend them enough. :-) read more

I came for a check up and was immediately given the most aggressive treatment plan. Having a background in dentistry and a dental hygienist partner def helped shed light on this but otherwise would have been victim to overly aggressive payment focused treatment planning. read more

The dentist is great but this is the second time scheduling has been an issue. I booked two deep cleaning appointments and I was about to come in, running 5 mins behind because of work, but was just told I have no appointments. The gentleman said he told me he would let me know of availability but that is absolutely a lie. I put both appointments on my calendar when I booked them. I work full time and had to ask for time off to make these appointments. I feel they do not respect my time so I will look for another dentist. Truly disappointed. read more

I forgot how amazing this office is. After moving away for a few years, I returned to the neighborhood. I can't tell you how excited I was that Dr. Alabyan took our insurance. And for the first time our kids were excited to see the dentist. (Once you go you'll understand). From the moment you walk through the door, you are made to fee welcomed. I'll admit I am a bit of a baby to tooth pain, and this is the only dentist I have had that listened, cared for my irrational fears, and gently handled my issues without pain what so ever. Honest, trustworthy, and caring are just a few things that describe Dr Alabyan. Fun, joyful, professional, sweet, kind, gifted and talented are just a few things to describe the office. I have highly recommended this office to many friends, and they have referred to their friends. I'm confident you will to. Once you go here no other dentist will be the same. Trust me, I have searched and researched. I hope this helps. read more

Anait Alabyan, DDS - A crown fit for a king. Applied with gentle and kind hands. - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

I really don't recommend this clinic. If you want to reschedule your visit they will charge you $50! It's disgusting

First let me say in my 55 years of going to a dentist I have never had a better dentist office ..( Been coming here 8 years ) First let me start with Maria the front desk associate ..She is a google of insurance benefits and an encyclopedia ( dating myself )of all things dental related ..Her kindness and friendliness is off the charts as well..Seeing her every few months is like visiting an old friend .. The dental hygienist Morgana was from another planet..she was part dental professor ( explaining everything she was doing with perfect Precision.) Her manner was that of a nurturing . kind..gentle professional who was not only amazing with her abilities but her personality was so sweet and caring that for a second I thought I was being pranked ..Even during my deep clean her words were not only comforting but her knowledge of dentistry seemed to rival a dental school professor or a long practicing dentist ... And Olga the dental assistant is so amazing .super nice and friendly and really knows her stuff.. Dr Alabyan is not only super super honest ..she is fun.friendly.. never does a hard sell..and really knows her craft ...An absolute joy as a person and as my dentist. The rest of the support staff is equally nice and very professional . Look no further ..Once you come to this office you will be patient for life .. read more

The best! Always provide high quality service. The whole staff is welcoming and courteous. Harold

Absolutely a 10/10 office. I have found my permanent dentistry. The staff is so caring and so respectful and as well as the outstanding Doctor. I don't have any worries with Doctor Alabyan, she has my full trust. read more

I've been a patient for years and this is my favorite dentist office of my adult life. Maria at reception is the nicest, sweetest person in the whole world. The dental assistants are very professional and friendly (and wore extra PPE during COVID), and the doctor herself, Dr. Alabyan is absolutely wonderful as well. I always feel like I'm in good hands when I go in. read more

Yess yes yesssss I absolutely love Dr. Alabyan! And I will tell YOU why... First of all, she is NOT a scummy dentist like EVERYONE ELSE!!!!! And she is absolutely perfect. My first memory of her was when I visited her office for a second opinion after being told I have 5 cavities from my initial dentist. Turns out, I only had one. She is so kind, knowledgeable, fair, and HONEST! I feel so comfortable and safe in her care and I trust her every word because she truly cares and is not after your pocket like everyone else. Let's be real guys, honesty and dentistry simply don't go hand in hand. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful dentist, I'm so happy I found you and its no wonder why you're booked out so late. I always leave so happy with their services, staff, professionalism, cleanliness, and expertise. I plan to come to her indefinitely! I highly recommend!!!! read more

Dr. Alabyan has been our family dentist for at least 2 years. We are pleased with her service and bedside manner. Each time we come in everything runs smoothly thanks to Maria from reception to billing. It's a very friendly office! Family Powell read more

Was 20 mins late to an appointment. Called and told them I was 5 mins away. They said okay. Parked and paid for parking then they called and said my appointment was cancelled. Nevermind that I've waited 20 mins for my scheduled appointment before. I've been coming here for years but nope that's it. Find another dentist who will actually be reasonable. read more

If you are looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and thoughtful dentist, look no further. The staff is super sweet and makes you feel welcomed. I came in to get my wisdom tooth extracted and Anait did an amazing job. I was out in less than an hour and you can just tell how precise she is with her work. I honestly wish I came sooner! read more

Unprofessional and unacceptable handing of customer appointments. Background: I scheduled my initial appointment to see Dr. Alabyan back in February for tomorrow April 12th so I could coordinate my other medical appointments on this one day and take a single day off from work to minimize the impact on my professional schedule. Situation: Well, the receptionists at Dr. Alabyan decide to call me today, April 11th, at 4:22pm to cancel my appointment because the office would be closed. The only explanation I got was an "I'm sorry" and a "can we re-schedule you?" No, you may not (btw, I was on hold for 20 mins total between three different receptionists). I'll take my business elsewhere to a practice that can actually communicate with their customers in a timely manner and keep their appointments. I understand that things happen in life, and sometimes we need to be flexible, but if it's less than 24 hours before the appointment time, you're too late. Resolution: NEXT. read more

I've been beyond terrified of any dentist for 30+ years. Since coming to Dr. Alabyan, I no longer dread the dentist. Thanks to the incredibly caring staff, Dr. Alabyan's expertise and bedside manners, I happily drive 32 miles round-trip to see them. She has the patient's best interest at heart, and is very knowledgeable. My left front tooth had been damaged years ago, and was turning gray. Two other dentist recommended pulling the tooth and putting in an implant...! Dr. Alabyan treated the tooth without pulling it, and even brought it back to white by bleaching it from the inside. She's amazing, and so is the entire team there. (Special shout out to Maria at the front desk, who's an absolute doll!) read more

Guys, do not look further as you have already found the best doctor ever. Dr. Alabyan and her team are professional, kind, caring and hardworking people. I received almost all possible dentistry services and treatments: fillings, teeth extractions, root canal treatment, veneers,  crowns, bridges. Everything was done professionally and at affordable prices. I got a real transformation of my smile, a smile that I have never had before. I will recommend Dr. Alabyan to all my friends, colleagues, relatives and to all people who are struggling in finding good dentists for years. Do not go further! She is the best! Thank you so much Doctor and Thank you to your each staff member: Olga, Maria, Ana. You, ladies, are amazing! Thank you for being professional, careful and staying EXTRA hours to serve me and make me happy. I am completely in love with my smile! Thank you so much! read more

After over ten years with this doctor, she told me on a recent check up that I had six cavities and needed a full mouth debridement and fillings which would cost close to $4,000 out of pocket. My wife and young son were also told they have 2 cavities each and would required additional work done out of pocket. I would know if I had 6 cavities, and I didn't believe her. Yesterday, my wife and I had a second opinion which revealed that there is nothing wrong with our teeth. I have tormented for over 3 days about writing this review because I am a doctor as well and know how these reviews can effect your practice. I am shocked by the moral and ethical nature of this situation. Imagine injecting, drilling, and intentionally hurting your patient for financial gain? How many other people has she done this to? I can only think about my previous exams and treatments. I don't see this as practicing dentistry, I see it as malpractice and fraud. Beware!!!! She should be glad that this review is instead of calling the state board. read more

They were nice and took me in right away. But once it came to having to quote me, I sat there for almost 45 minutes waiting. Not a big deal, it happens. But then they come back and quote me $2600! One of those things were $975 for a deep cleaning. I called my insurance and they tried to overcharge me for EVERYTHING. And on top of overcharging, some of the Codes they used (which is how we determined the overcharging with my insurance) DID NOT EXIST. Just went to a dentist that is ETHICAL and not trying to scam me out of my money, and my deep cleaning cost $320 WITH antibiotics, anesthesia and my copay. Moral of the story - SCAM FOR MONEY. read more

This office is uncaring and motivated by money more than conscientious service. Dr. Alabyan is a provider for Denti-Cal insurance, however she refused to perform work on our child without an "authorization", even though the procedure is 100% covered. She agreed ONLY if we paid her over $300; she then reduced the charge. We agreed, saying we would then go after reimbursement from Denti-Cal but she then refused to do the treatment at all! (Because she would need to refund US the money, as the insurance company would pay her and not us. Denti-Cal pays only half of the fee she would have charged.) Her office was baiting & switching. She takes our insurance but won't do work covered under their plan. It is actually illegal for a Denti-Cal dentist to charge patients for work that is 100% covered. The most disturbing aspect is the patient is a 13 year old girl who had broken her two front teeth in a fall. This dentist is a mother herself, she should be ashamed of herself.....to refuse treatment to a child in need of it. We found another dentist in Encino, who immediately performed the work on our daughter and did a fantastic job. You can't tell her teeth were ever broken. read more

Love Dr Alabyan & her whole team. Maria is also so personable & friendly. I was a patient here for years until we moved. Dr. Alabyan is no nonsense & doesn't try to sell you up on procedures you don't need. I felt they were always honest & straightforward. I will miss them! read more

Dr. Alabyan and her staff are wonderful! I have three children and when my 7 year old needed his cavity filled, they were more then accommodating. Even covered him with a blanket because he was cold! The staff is professional and courteous and our whole family feels incredibly relaxed seeing the dentists here. Maria at the front is just a JOY! I look forward to chatting with her and catching up on current events; she's very personable and easy to talk to. Appointments are always on time and confirmation texts are incredibly easy and modern to manage. You're missing out if you haven't booked a cleaning with this office! What are you waiting for =) read more

. I had a very good experience at Dr Alabyan's office. The staff is professional and caring. Dr Alabyan's work is amazing, she is so gentle. My mouth feels so healthy and beautiful after her dental work. read more

I will like to thank Dr. Anait Alabyan for her great expertise for such a great job,she was very gentle and very patient with me through the process my worst nightmare is to go to dentist office but after visiting her my fear is gone. she's an expert at what she does. she knows what she's doing and is very professional but at the same time very friendly and sweet person. Once again thank you very much Dr. Alabyan. read more

I soooo love this place....I have a huge fear towards dentists. I had a bad experience with my previous dentist where all they cared about was my money. Dr. Alabyan and her staff are amazing. When I told the Dr. Alabyan my past history, she was so passionate, and caring. I had my cleaning and my one cavity done today. Omg, I didn't feel a thing. Super gentle... I love her already!! She is now my dentist!! I so highly recommended this office to anyone!!! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Alabyan for manny years and could be happier. Not only she is nice and considerate, she actually listen to your needs and do what's the best for your not her pocket unlike other dental offices. The office is very clean and Easley accessible from 101 freeway. I highly recommend her to everyone. read more

I saw Dr Alabyan because her office accepts my insurance and I needed a new dentist. I have pretty good teeth overall so mostly I was looking for a routine checkup and cleaning. Little did I know I was about to waste 90 minutes of my day. During my visit the staff took X-rays and the doctor examined my teeth and gums. She pointed out that while things were generally good I had some deep pockets in my gums in two places and she would recommend a "deep cleaning" to clear up the problem. Apparently "deep pockets" was code for me wanting to spend a lot of money, because the estimate for the deep cleaning came to over $700! That's fine, I said I would delay that until I had better insurance. Could they do the basic cleaning to start? Nope. They offered to do a basic cleaning on the top teeth but not the bottom, because they discovered some gum issues on the bottom and a deep cleaning was required first. It would be "unethical" for them to clean the bottom teeth because this would somehow fool me into thinking I don't have a problem. The explanation was pretty puzzling and when challenged, ended with "well that's our policy." Strange policy. Of course I left. I am not sure who falls for this or even what the game is. Who, upon coming in for a fully covered cleaning, decides, sure, I'll spend an extra $700 on this no questions asked? I don't see how it's unethical to give me my options and let me decide with full information. A basic cleaning does no harm. Otherwise the office staff and doctor were friendly and professional. But ultimately they refused to work with me on my dental health, which defeats the purpose. read more

Love Dr. Alabyan. She was really the best. She took her time and explained my problems to me throughly and was very patient. The staff is awesome too! I highly recommend this office. read more

Love these ladies! Maria, the receptionist, is always so sweet on the phone and wasvery flexible with my schedule and allowed me to cancel and re-book multiple times for my filling. Very nice staff, very nice dentist who gave me minimal concerned guff at not flossing regularly. The dentist really listened to me me about my allergies and paid attention when I told her that I absorb novocaine quickly. She hustled to make sure I stayed pain-free and gave me some good advice for my TMJ. I'm so lucky everything was covered by my HealthyWay LA, because I couldn't afford any of this otherwise. I didn't have to spend any money, which is good because I have none to spend. Maybe when I DO get some I'll invest in floss. Thank you thank you thank you ladies!!! read more

Dr. Alabyan and the entire staff are great. My both kids have been patient with Dr. Alabyan for 5+ years.The best dentist I have been to. They extremely nice, efficient and the office runs really on time with no waiting. read more

Love Dr. Alabyan and all her staff! She is the best dentist I've ever had. Everyone from the hygienists to the front desk is super friendly, and they have lots of flexible appointment times on weekends and evenings. Marine is my favourite hygienist, I never knew it was possible for someone to clean teeth so thoroughly. read more

Let me start off by mentioning that I am beyond terrified of dentists. In November I had an infection in my wisdom tooth and was referred to Dr. Alabyan due to her being so gentle and kind. I went in and was told I needed to remove all four of my wisdom teeth and had twelve cavities (I know, gross). Anyways we scheduled my cavities and the removal of my wisdom teeth. The cavities I wasn't so worried about as I have had them done in the past, but my wisdoms, lets say I rescheduled to put it off a few months cause of my fear. Dr. Arthur performed my wisdom teeth removal as Vanessa was by me the whole time, holding my hand (literally). The process all in all took 20 minutes and it was the most painless thing ever, my recovery was amazing, I had to only take one ibuprofen for pain and that was it. For anyone that is scared of dentists, don't be. ALL the staff there is beyond amazing and friendly. Thank you for taking my fear of dentists away! read more

Do not come here! Her staff is unprofessional and horrible! I called her office for a period of two months regarding an issue with a crown Dr. Alabyan did for my daughter. No one returned my calls after countless messages! Finally, I said I was looking into filing a claim with small claims court. Two days later, I received a lengthy email from Maria claiming that we owe them a balance. Instead of taking responsible for her failure to return my calls, she retaliated by attempting to collect allegedly "unpaid" fees - some of which are over two years old, which clearly is an example of retaliation related to our dispute over my daughter's crown and a blatantly unfair business practice. read more

My husband and I have been seeing Dr Alabyan for almost 4 years now and have never had any complaints. The office is clean, waiting times are minimal, they are very thorough with their check ups and cleanings, and they only recommend additional dental work if it's needed. If everything is good with your oral health and hygiene they say 'well done, see you in 6 months' and do not invent problems that don't exist. The receptionist, Maria, is super sweet and courteous. I should also add, I've had to be seen twice as an emergency, and both times they happily fit me in the same day. We initially picked that office for being close to the apartment we used to rent, and even though we now live 45 minutes away, we still make the drive there twice a year because of the excellent dental care we've always received by Dr Alabyan and her staff. read more

DO NOT GO! Very dishonest!! They told me I had really bad gums and she wanted to charge me over $900 to fill them with some antibacterial filling and told me I had 2 cavities and I need to get a cleaning within the next month. She told me it would be covered under my plan, however it was not covered so I paid a full price for a teeth cleaning I didn't need and went to my trusted dentist to find out I don't even have any cavities! She's just trying to make a fast buck and I don't appreciate her lying to me! DO NOT GO HERE! read more

Dr. Alabyan and her staff are great! Maria and Vanessa are both very helpful, accommodating, and so nice. I've had quite a bit of dental work done this year and I can say I absolutely trust Dr Alabyan. Everyone is respectful, patient and pleasant. They explain everything to you. I had a procedure done the day before Thanksgiving, and I received a follow-up call from Vanessa the day after Thanksgiving to make sure I was doing okay. Genuine concern. They do their best to accommodate my schedule. They run on time and I've never had to wait more than a couple of minutes to be seen. Office is very clean (super important to me), and they are honest. I'm so happy I found a dentist I can trust! I highly recommend Dr. Alabyan. read more
