    My burned face.

    Painful and disappointing experience with Dr. Vahik Meserkhani. After a percedure on June 16th. My jaw became ame completely locked. I could not open my mouth at all. MESERKHANI said it was just a muscle spasm and prescribed muscle relaxers and laser treatments but neither provided any relief. Later, after consulting a TMJ specialist who was away at the time he decided ( Vahik Meserkhani) to numb my face and inject to my TMG trigger point while forcibly trying to open my jaw. The procedure was extremely painful, and pointless, and afterward I developed a huge burn on my face from spray he used to numb my face no other dentist or even dermatologist could identify what caused the burn. I eventually saw a TMJ specialist on July 7th, who prescribed a new muscle relaxer and specific exercises. Even though, the exercises were very painful, I followed them carefully. The specialist told me that if there was no improvement, sedation might be needed to manually open my jaw. Thankfully, after a week I started to see slight progress and with time and patience, I slowly recovered. Overall, I was in pain for nearly three months both from locked jaw and the facial burn. During this time, I asked Meserkhani for a refund so I could continue treatment elsewhere, but he refused. In addition to the physical and emotional pain, i was deeply disappointed by his demeanor. In my experience Meserkhani came across as arrogant, dismissive, and more focused on money than on patient care. He often acted as if he could do no wrong, which made me feel ignored and disrespected. That attitude made an already painful situation much worse. The entire experience left me feeling traumatized and undervalued as a patient. I'm sharing this so others can make an informed decision before seeking care with this practice and specially with Vahik Mserkhani. I truly hope no one else has to go through what I did. I believe in karma and I'm sure he'll pay it back somehow and somewhere that he won't even realize where is it coming from.

    Yes it's true...the dentist can be a good day! I know we all dread going but it doesn't have to be. Awesome experience at this Dentist office. From the reception to the technician and the dentist they really know how to make the client experience pleasant. Highly recommend kids adults and orthopedics here.

    Dr. Meserkhani making my man one step closer to Anthony Quinn!

    I wish I could give this place 10x the stars! My husband and I went here after I checked out a few other places. I found them on YELP and the reviews is why I we came here. The first appointment for him was excellent. He had xrays, CT scan and check up for a great price. I mean it was HUNDREDS more elsewhere and it was done for under $100! I even got an exam, xrays and ct scan at an even better price! I wont say the price, but trust me, totally worth it. The equipment is state of the art and they love their toys! Now, my husband needed extensive work. He has been suffering for years and I was watching him stop smiling and his teeth were literally falling out. His confidence went out the window. It was heartbreaking to see my new husband, slowly change... and there was nothing I could do. What was needed was a team of real professionals who care about the person in the chair. And at Dental Studio of Pasadena.. we found that and more! When we went back to talk prices, and timeline. ( we had 3 weeks before our move) Marylou made it clear we need to start ASAP and we did. My husbands butt was in that chair almost 7 hours! SEVEN HOURS!! I was in and out like a partner waiting for a baby to arrive! Never once did they ask me to wait outside.. But instead, they offered me a seat and kept me in the loop. Not one moment did we feel that he was just waiting... They worked on him non stop. Dr Arby and his assistant, Lilly make the best team ever!! Their dynamic was such a pleasure to have as the work was being done. It was a great vibe. Dr. Meserkhani was also great. He made my husband feel comfortable and he knew at the end of the day I wanted my man to look like Anthony Quinn and he was almost able to accomplish that! Dr. Mauricio Fonrodona was so detailed in his work, you can see he made sure to to his best to keep my man out of pain, and he did a damn good job of doing just that! MaryLou, I dont know her title, office manager, finance guru, woman with the best smile and hair ever.. Just know... she will do the best she can to help you get financed. The staff, they are the backbone and make you feel so comfortable here. From the moment we walked in, I felt welcomed and there was never one moment that we didnt feel cared for. I love the connection between everyone there. It is a place I felt actually wanted us to not only look the best we can, but also feel the best we can. Having your teeth not be as nice as they once were is a hard pill to swallow and they gave my husband his confidence and smile back.. and the dimples he had when he used to smile are back too!! Thank you! Now the big questions "How was the price? Are they Expensive??" Must I sell one of my kids or kidneys??!" Maybe. Are you really that attached to them? I mean really? Look, TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH!!! Ok ok.. it could be genetic, an accident, poor maintenance or illness like Diabetes that could have taken a toll on your teeth. The price was not the most $$$$$ we were quoted. Be sure to get your pennies ready, cuz its your teeth. I will say.... Teeth are not cheap. Sell your art, sell your kids... sell whatever you need to get your work done here. So flash what your momma gave you... or go see the doctors and professionals at Dental Studio of Pasadena! Dont forget to tell them you read my review!!!

    Dr. Dr Vahik Meserkhani is the Best ! I've been seeing him my entire life. I had an emergency and my filling cracked. He was able to see me the same day even during this Covid 19 Pandemic Crisis we are having. I highly reccomend he is the best of the best. Everyone is always welcoming and they make you feel safe and at home. Thank You so much !

    Thank you, Dr. Lee and your wonderful team. We are truly grateful to each and every one of you for…read moreyour dedication and care. In this big family, we have genuinely felt so much kindness and love. There are so many heartwarming moments that have stayed with us. One time, my 9 years old son insisted on finishing his homework in the treatment area. Not wanting to disturb him, Alvin thoughtfully arranged the meeting with Dr. Lee into the office, and everyone patiently waited until my son had finished his homework before continuing with his appointment. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and kindness. Another time, a pen fell on the floor. Melisa picked it up and carefully disinfected it before using it again. It may have seemed like such a small gesture, but that attention to detail meant so much to me as a parent. It made me feel that my child was truly safe and in caring hands with all of you. There have been so many touching moments like this along the way... We feel incredibly fortunate to receive orthodontic care from what we believe is the best orthodontic team in the world. You have not only helped create a more beautiful smile, but have also helped make every breath easier and more comfortable, while supporting better oral health. Thank you for being with us throughout this journey over the past year and more. We are deeply grateful for everything you have done, and even for creating such a beautiful and welcoming space that feels like a five-star home. And just like family, you remember the children's birthdays and make them feel special by sending your warm wishes on their special day. That thoughtful care means so much to us. The photos below are a wonderful reminder of everything we have accomplished together.

    My daughter started orthodontic treatment with Vivian Lee Orthodontics about four to five years…read moreago. Before choosing this office, we consulted with several orthodontists. What convinced us to come here was the treatment plan they presented. We were told that their approach had a very good chance of improving my daughter's lower jaw position through counterclockwise rotation. I specifically asked how likely this outcome was, and was told the probability was quite high. Based on that recommendation, we chose this office even though the total treatment cost was about $2,000 more than other orthodontists we had consulted. Unfortunately, toward the later stage of treatment, we were told that the expected jaw correction could not be achieved. When I asked what could be done about my daughter's lower jaw, I was told that surgery would essentially be the only option in the future. We had made it very clear from the beginning that we strongly wanted to avoid surgery, so this was extremely disappointing, especially after several years of treatment based on the expectations originally presented to us. Since the orthodontic treatment was already near completion, we had little choice but to accept the result. We were then told that treatment was finished and were asked to sign the treatment completion paperwork. Less than a year later, my daughter's lower teeth and dental arch began shifting significantly. We contacted the office again because we wanted to see whether her lower teeth could be corrected. I explained that during that year she had not worn her retainer 24 hours a day as consistently as she should have. We were told they would review her case and contact us within three or four days with possible treatment options. I waited nearly a month and never received any follow-up call or message. Overall, this has been a very disappointing experience. My biggest concerns are the large difference between the expectations presented at the beginning of treatment and the final result, as well as the lack of follow-up when we later asked for help. I'm sharing our experience so other parents can take it into consideration and ask very detailed questions before choosing this orthodontic office.

Dr. Luu is one of the kindest, most professional, and gentlest doctors we've ever met. We signed our treatment contract in August 2024, and every part of the process met or exceeded our expectations. My daughter, Jasmine, would frequently come home with extra rubber bands and other little items she needed, and we were never charged extra or surprised with unexpected fees or add-ons. My daughter just had her braces removed, and the results are fantastic! We had been a little worried about possible discoloration after treatment, but there was none at all. Her smile looks beautiful. Looking back, the only thing I wish we had done differently was purchasing the extra set of retainers at the discounted rate they offered. We decided not to at the time, but if you're given that option, I'd recommend taking it--it's nice to have a spare set just in case. Wonderful service, an amazing doctor, friendly staff, and a truly positive experience from start to finish. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Luu to anyone looking for an orthodontist. Dr. Luu, thank you so very much for everything. We are so grateful to have had you as our orthodontist throughout Jasmine's teeth-straightening journey. It has been an absolute pleasure, and we will always remember your kindness, professionalism, and wonderful care. We wish you and your entire team all the very best!

My dentist actually recommended Primrose Orthodontics, so here starts my little self-care journey (teeth edition). Dr. Luu and team were great from the very start, from scheduling to actual care. I was ready to drop a pretty penny that was just hanging out in my HSA, but Dr. Luu was transparent and offered me a lot of options and actually recommended I go with the faster and less expensive option since I just needed refinement. Beyond excellent patient care and prompt communication, prices are affordable and I felt like the team spent a lot of time making sure all my questions were answered. They were even accommodating when I told them I had to move some stuff around my HSA before proceeding. Anyway, I'm 6-7 (ayyy) months in, my teeth are straight, and I'm wearing clear retainers over a new smile. 10/10 would absolutely recommend them! Thanks Dr. Luu & co.!
