Dr. Nickgoo is very knowledgeable and easygoing, Office is super clean and looks very tech advanced. Staff is courteous and attentive. read more

I just want to take this time to share my experience as a new patient how memorable my visit was. From the moment I was greeted towards the end of my visit I had the best experience ever!! The staff is so sweet and welcoming. The office manager is truly a breath of fresh air. She was very thorough by explaining the details on the treatment plan and very articulate. The hygienist was super friendly and polished my teeth so gracefully. This place is a gem. All of you are so sweet thank you again for the lovely experience. I will be back soon for my next visit. . read more

My experience was terrible. Rude office staff. The dentist recommended unnecessary and excessive dental procedures. This was not required when I asked for a second opinion from someone else. They also refused to return my x-rays, as of this writing I never got them. I feel like I was almost scammed and it feels like to me they prioritize profits over patient. I will never go there ever again. read more

Very caring & professional. For those like me who don't enjoy visiting a dentist, Dr Nikjoo makes the experience almost "enjoyable" because his technique is practically painless. read more

The front office is rude, I called 24 hours ahead of my appointment and the girl that answered the phone was very rude to me. I asked for an updated treatment plan and they gave me one from last year. When I pointed this out the lady in the phone said that they dont give an updated treatment plan. This is 2025 and the one you gave was from 2024. Clearly their have been other treatments that have already been done. Super lazy of them not to give an updated plan and to be rude about it on top of it read more

Look at all the reviews, they are very telling. Don't come here. They will schedule you and then close the office the day of your appointment without telling you. This place is a huge disappointment and let down. Go elsewhere, it is not worth it to go here. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! They are terrible. They do not care about your teeth. I got 3 veneers and a crown from here. It was rushed and I hate my teeth. Now I am paying for work that I don't like. They did nothing to help or fix it...... I got a filling in my bottom molar and it's so bulky. So much money spent and wasted at this place. Very disappointed. I will never go here again. read more

Dr. Nick and his team are just great! I'm an 80+ year old scaredy cat and they're kind and gentle and very understanding. Yesterday I was sitting in the lobby with another patient who had been going there for 2 years having extensive work done. He had only good things to say. So I believe I definitely made the right choice. read more

SCAM!!! DO NOT go here!!! Unless you like getting ripped off, wasting money, and terrible quality of care. Paid $3,000 for dentures that they didn't get approved through insurance first. They look like children's teeth and I am an adult. I'm having issues getting receipts, medical records, and copies of insurance paperwork. Good luck if you go here, you're going to need it! read more

I scheduled an appointment after calling the Wilshire office and leaving a couple messages and not hearing back. The third time I called a voice message notified that the office was closed and referred me to this Santa Monica location, so I called and scheduled an appointment for a dental cleaning. They only had the afternoon available; I asked to be seen in the morning and they said they had nothing at all, "but we'll call you if something comes up." It didn't so they didn't. Today when I arrived for my appointment the receptionist got busy on her computer and after a few minutes said they no longer accepted my insurance. She offered to switch my insurance to a type they accepted but it would take 3 or so weeks, so either way I wouldn't be seen today. The trip was wasted. I suggested they notify patients on the phone to save the inconvenience of an unnecessary visit, but they told me "we have hundreds of patients and can't call them all." I left it at that, but if the office reads this, let me reiterate my suggestion that when a returning patient calls to schedule an appointment, part of the protocol should be to determine whether his insurance is accepted. After all this information is surely in the system and at your fingerprints. You don't need to call all former patients, only those who call you. This will save the aggravation and the uncomfortable office visit I had today. It's just as well. I've changed my insurance and will seek out a new dentist. As it was at the Wilshire office in six years of visits I was treated by three different practitioners, none of whom made the switch to the Santa Monica location, so Dr. Nikjoo would have been number four - at an office that bears his name! And if the state of the office is any indication of the dental work provided, the smears on the walls and cracks in the drywall are not a good sign. Maybe after doing a drywall repair and repainting part of my own home I am more sensitive to esthetics. Anyway, the girls behind the counter were nice enough, but if they schedule a few more unqualified patients for aborted visits it's a sure way of earning a lot of negative reviews. I hope this does not come off cynical or mean-spirited; I only offer my review in the way of constructive criticism. After all, I used my day out to run another errand, so it wasn't a total waist. Good thing I didn't cancel plans and fight loads of traffic only to be turned away.... read more

I have had a very unpleasant experience with Dr. Ebi D Nikjoo offices. Specifically Whittier Office. They are not honest dentist. Dr. Ebi D Nikjoo refuses to return monies I prepaid for dental work. They will give you run around. not a professional place. Avoid at All cost. Bait and Switch operation. I had to file California Dental Board complaint and civil court case. read more

I went here looking for help after being traumatized by western dental. But they don't check on clients or call back. Last time I went they said I needed procedures done and said they'd call but never did. And having to go back and forth there is a hassle for me. Also, I've been waiting on an approval but it's been about 2 months now, and I fear I've been waiting too long cause I depended on this and it's getting worse. now I will have to find someone that will care to help me. I wish la dentist would care about the patients enough to at least let me know if they can do it or not. I wish they would return their voicemails or even answer so I could get the help I need. They are nice and I feel the job is good but they aren't concerned unless u have the insurance they want I fear. read more

Ebi and the team were absolutely incredible and on top of everything. Very attentive and I would highly recommend his office to everyone.

Dr Nikjoo and his team are the absolute best. I've been going to Dr Nikjoo for years and they're the only people I let touch my teeth. The whole office is extremely professional and nice, and Ebi has really helped transform my teeth. My teeth are so healthy, clean and white now and he's really helped even out my smile. I love going into the office which is rare to say about going to the dentist and highly recommend them to anyone. My whole family goes to Dr. Nikjoo and he's the only one we trust. read more

Came to his dental office several years ago for a dental check up and cleaning. Dr. Nik did do a decent job with the teeth cleaning however when examining my teeth he stated I had two cavities that I need to get filled. A bit upset, but oh well. I then go to the receptionist who hands me a detailed bill on what it would cost to have those two cavities fixed. She states that my insurance will not cover the cavities and I would have to pay out of pocket. I went home and called the insurance company and then did a three way call so the representative could explain that in fact I was covered. They then LIED switched the teeth and said that it was on two different teeth that already had fillings and therefore it would not be covered... Since that visit, it has been close to three years later and four different dental visits and still no cavities... Stay Far Far away from these crooks. read more

Dr. Nikjoo came highly recommended and I was not disappointed. Knowledgeable in his field.

1. If you read other reviews, you'll see that he had bad Yelp reviews, so made a new Yelp page to start fresh. I'd say that is pretty dishonest for someone in a "helping" profession, in particular. 2. The first time I made an appointment, I was called LESS than 24 hours in advance to tell me my appointment was canceled because, "The office is closed tomorrow." If you read other reviews, you'll see this is common practice for this office. Customer service is clearly not a priority 3. This guy will try to sell you every unnecessary dental treatment, gadget, procedure in the world to make a profit. I've been here 3 times, wanting to give it a fair shot, and every time he wants to rope me into something that no other dentist has ever told me I needed. Shady AF. 4. Hey, doctor, don't call me "hon." You don't know me and it's insulting. 5. To sum it up: dishonest scammer who will try to grab your wallet and run while mansplaining and being a misogynist. read more

The first time I walked into Dr. Nikjoo's office, I was impressed by its professional decor and the courteousness of his staff. But the pleasantness of my experience ended there. On my second visit, he began up-selling me to different procedures. Never in my life during a visit to the dentist have I been made to feel so scared and uncomfortable. A couple of these procedures had never even been mentioned by my previous dentists. I have no current health conditions and routinely visit the dentist 2 to 3 times a year. When I told him I couldn't afford the amount he was quoting, he assured me that he would "work with me," and that he would "take care of me." I felt nervous signing various forms that his billing coordinator Maria put in front of me since I noticed the *fine print* at the bottom saying I was responsible for whatever amount the insurance didn't pay. She told me that these forms were "standard" and that they could not proceed without a signature. She said that I would just pay that day's quoted amount and they would take care of the rest. I wanted to trust Dr. Nikjoo and his staff, so I signed. Little did I know that "work with me" meant he would repeatedly overcharge my insurance and "take care of me" meant he would foot me the rest of the bill. Please note that this is despite my ALREADY PAYING the day of my procedure for what he quoted as my TOTAL responsibility. I had to borrow money from a loved one just to pay everything, including even for part of my routine care! Quite frankly, I am SHOCKED that Dr. Nikjoo's rating is not lower considering my miserable experience with him. From now on, I will be cautious of any business that has an abundance of mostly 1- and 5-star ratings. My only caveat is that I think he is *probably* a competent dentist, but just greedy for money. I will not be coming back. I had also referred my friend to his office after my first visit, but that is a recommendation I have since rescinded. 1 star to Dr. Nikjoo for his fraudulent business practices. If anyone doubts the authenticity of my review, I invite you to read through his other 1- and 2-star reviews and come to your own conclusion. Please also note one interesting curiosity that I discovered after the fact--Dr. Nikjoo has already abandoned 2 of his yelp accounts: Ebi Nikjoo ,DDS (1-star review) Ebi Nikjoo, DDS (Medici Dental) And created 2 new ones: Ebi Nikjoo, DDS (this one) Westwood Dental Care P.S. If you found my review helpful, please upvote me. My experience "inspired" me to create this yelp account. I will be very active on yelp from now on, so please feel free to friend me and follow my future reviews! read more

I went there over a year ago, with a chipped molar. He told me he would need to go through and extensive set of procedures, but first he would need to do a deep cleaning. The deep cleaning left my head throbbing for about a month, I even went to the hospital. The whole procedure to fix my tooth was budgeted in over 3000 USD, and he did not offer any other choice, I had been to many Dentists during my lifetime, one of which is a very good friend of my family, she mentioned how he was overpricing me by offering the most expensive alternative, when there are many cheaper options. Not to mention it was the front desk lady who walked me through the costs, she was real nice and helpful, unlike the Doctor. However, when I mention that I did not have that kind of money, they never offered a cheaper alternative. Be aware that all of this is WITH insurance, according to his costs, without insurance it would be about 10,000 bucks. I cannot complain about the service, but I never felt like he even cared about my health. read more

I had an 830 apt. I got in at 820. Even though their hours say 7am to 5 on Tuesday's, the Office was locked. No one was answering the phone. I'm a new patient and had to go into work late for this. So pissed off. Don't bother. read more

I used to be faithful to Newport Dental in Hollywood because that was the only dentist I knew after my childhood dentist. I left Newport Dental because the customer service was horrible and the dentist I loved for many years found employment elsewhere. I began to search the internet for a new dentist and I also asked my friend (who has immaculate teeth) where she went to get her teeth checked. She recommended Dr. Nikjoo and I immediately made an appointment. The good thing is I was able to get an appointment on a Saturday morning. The wait was less than 15mins and Dr. Nikjoo was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. He showed me the proper way to floss (as I was doing it incorrectly) and I did not feel like I was being scolded at. I can understand his concern for people who do not floss (who wants gingivitis?). The simple act of flossing can greatly improve your overall dental health. --He told me my orthodontist did a great job with my braces because my teeth have hardly shifted in the past 10 years. I will definitely be going back to see him again and have already recommended him to my family and friends. Thank you Dr. Nikjoo!! read more

If you are looking for a dentist that is fair and does good work then look no further. My experience with this dentist was very positive. I would highly recommend this dentist. read more

Dr. Nikjoo and his staff are amazing! I feel very comfortable in their care. My cleanings are quick and easy. I highly recommended this office! read more

Scary and really unprofessional, they use another name online so that you find them on Google but you don't see the bad reviews on Yelp!

Very very bad experience with Dr. Nikjoo. Money down the drain. A cavity formed under an ceramic inlay. Needed to be shaped and capped. I had it done by another dentist who spent his time doing a good job as opposed to the rushed job with Nikjoo. read more

I'm so happy I found this office, I just created yelp account to share my great experience with this office. The whole staff are amazing! Let me start by saying that Dr .Nik is just the BEST OF THE BEST!!! Dr Nik took his time by explaining in detail my options . I've been postponing dental visits due to fear , but my teeth are getting worst and worst every time. I've breaking my front teeth due to heavy grinding. Now I have to do veneers . I need a lot of work including deep cleaning. Dr. Nik explained me the difference between regular cleaning and a deep cleaning now a get it. I schedule my first visit I will keep you guys updated with pictures as soon Dr. Nik finishes my work. read more

I had the best experience with Dr.Nikjoo. I suffer from extreme anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist. Not having insurance made things even worse. I have been in excruciating pain for the past week because of cavity on my lower tooth and I've been searching all over for a Dentist with reasonable prices, but didn't find anyone I could actually afford. I did a google search and found Dr. Nikjoo on Yelp and I saw his prices were very reasonable so I gave him a call and ask for earliest appt. The receptionist was very sweet and squeezed me in the same day to get some Xrays done. I had my cavity taken care off immediately and did not suffer from any anxiety because of Dr. Nikjoo's sensitive nature. I am so grateful that I found Dr.Nikjoo. I will always recommend him. He is amazing. If you are a broke college student or simply do not have insurance, visit their office! You will not regret it. Thank You Dr. Nikjoo !!! read more

I made an appointment for a routine check up/cleaning at this office. The receptionist (who is a simpleton) scheduled me for Monday at noon. I showed up for my appointment and the door was locked! I knocked on the door and I could hear voices inside but no would open. I called the office and their vm says they are open Monday from 9-5, even though I was standing outside of a locked door at noon...ON A MONDAY! I left a vm asking for an call back with and explanation and I never received one. This staff is unprofessional, inept and clearly they don't care at all about upsetting new patients. Judging by the other negative reviews I'm not surprised by what happened. Please don't waste your time, you won't even get in the door! read more

Met Dr. Nikjoo while he was at USC Dental School and he was known to be at the top of his game. I kept in touch and he helped me tremendously. If you want a doctor who is more about helping you get your dental needs under control and is always available and truly a genuine person first then I would highly recommend his services. As good as it gets! read more

I have had the worst experience's with dentists lately. I was so happy after my first app. with Dr. Nickjoo. I went to him wanting some veneers and I also need 6 crowns. I knew this going into his office. He wasn't trying to get me to have all these procedures done and there was NO pressure for once. He was very gentle instead of you know how some dentists are rough. I am very please with my veneers and I highly recommend him! For once I am happy with my dentist.. :-) read more

This place is awesome. My teeth are always taken care of. I went in for a cleaning and asked about invisalign bc I didn't like my crooked teeth. Now my teeth look great! They were so nice the entire time during the process of getting my teeth straight and pain free. Thanks guys! read more

They are very irresponsible and rude. They canceled my appointment two times in the last minute. I also called to make an appointment with Dr Nikjoo, but they set me up with another Dr who I did not ask for and didn't tell me anything about it. They just told me today about it when they called to cancel my appointment again. read more

I was referred by a friend to Dr. Ebi Nikjoo. I must say, I have never had such a good experience with a dentist. Ever. I am very impressed with the Dr. and his friendly staff. They are flexible with booking appointments, thorough with cleanings and they gave me a new set of veneers that look real and beautiful. Their out of pocket prices for cleanings are also cheaper than the USC school of dentistry! Love this place! read more

Questionable abilities and unnecessary up-sells. Went in for a procedure to rebuild a tooth and had to go back three times for shaping and they never did get it right. The staff isn't terribly welcoming and seem to be more about trying to charge credit cards than provide quality dental care. The last time I went in for a free cleaning and they tried to up-sell me to a procedure for hundreds of dollars that a second opinion said was unnecessary and potentially damaging to my teeth. AND they never gave me the cleaning. Mainly because of Yelp reviews this seemed like the best option in my new plan. I felt more like I was in a shady mechanic shop than a dentist's office. It's aesthetically well set up and they have free water bottles in the waiting room, but you have to ask if it's cool to take one as no one offers. read more

After seeing Dr. Nikjoo for over a year I had an appointment and it got cancelled right before I was to go. I made another appointment and that got cancelled as well the day before I was to come in. Then I made a 3rd appointment showed up and no one was in the office, this was the second time that this happened. I called and left a message for Dr. Nikjoo to return my phone call and he never did. The office staff is apparently deficient and I was gravely disappointed as my schedule is very tight with my own patients. read more

Worst clinic in LA. It is a waste of time and money going there. Very unprofessional doctor and staff. The place is also very small.

I will never go to another dentist again! I call Ebi my dental angel because he is such a saint! I had a really terribly infected root canal, the pain was so excruciating (I've researched the pain and apparently it's worse than pregnancy...) I nearly blacked out. Dr. Ebi was kind enough to see me on such short notice for my emergency tooth infection and cleaned out my infection until I can schedule a root canal. He was so gentle with my teeth, I am no longer scared to go to the dentist the pain dissipated immediately and the swelling was very minimal! He was so gentle putting in my numbing shots, I couldn't believe I could barely feel it in my gums! Hence, he is my Saint forever the best dentist in my books (: thank you for everything dr.ebi! read more

HORRIBLE ! He opened a new yelp page since other yelp reviews along with mine were negative ! This is a dentist that is only interested in your wallet not your health. He takes advantage of good health plans and over charges for his benefit. Stay far away from his offices read more

I had the best experience of assistance and treatment at the offices of Dr. Ebi Nikjoo last saturday. The staff was (is) kind, friendly and professional. I am actually looking forward to my next visit - which is something I thought I would never hear myself saying or writing about. Everybody took the time to explain procedures, outcomes and what to expect. Very calming and stressfree. R. Gardner read more

Dr Do is effecient, competent and intuitive and the supporting staff is friendly and accommodating. They also gave me a good price I highly recommend the offed to everyone looking for a reliable and professional dental services. Thank you! read more
