    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 !

Dr. Henriod is a master at his craft. The office is pristine, the staff is friendly and the appointments are honored in a timely manner. The Star Trek style high tech gadgets are cool too.

I specifically asked before booking, at check-in, and again after the appointment. The visit itself lasted about 1-2 minutes. The dentist performed a brief visual exam and told me everything looked fine. No periodontal probing, charting, or treatment planning was done. The office initially billed my insurance under a comprehensive periodontal evaluation code, which did not reflect the services performed. After I questioned it, they resubmitted the claim under a limited exam code, which was then denied due to frequency limitations. I was ultimately required to pay $50 to avoid collections. What disappointed me most was not just the billing issue, but the lack of empathy when I raised concerns to "Rafi". There was no acknowledgment of the miscommunication or incorrect initial coding .. just a firm statement that it was "my responsibility." Clear communication about coverage and better billing transparency would have prevented this situation. I hope the office improves this process for future patients. very disappointed.

The worst of them is Moon, who has helped me several times already. She is so obnoxious and clearly hates her customers, never greeting you and commanding you with a very rude tone. If I had other options, I might consider them after interacting with her. Maybe don't join customer service if you feel that way. Be prepared to wait at least 45 minutes to an hour after your appointment time to be let inside and wait longer for the doctor. As mentioned by others, they tend to pack in appointments. Other than that my dentist is helpful! For privacy, I am having another account submit this review for me.
