Dr. K is the best dentist I've ever been to. He focuses on patient's comfort and he does great work. Dr. K is gentle, kind, friendly, and funny. He provides wise advice on how to care for our teeth and mouths. His staff is great - they always greets us with a smile and a hello. They are helpful and are responsive to concerns. His assistants are well trained. I highly recommend. read more

I must say I have to give credit where credit is due because Dr. K's work, especially cleanings are one of thee best I've had! After each cleaning I always left feeling like I had new teeth lol. My boys were also always treated very well and Dr. K made them feel comfortable by cracking little jokes. However, during my crown appointment, Dr. K could not continue because he said I needed a root canal. During the procedure he did remove mercury that I believe I swallowed and it made me feel horrible that whole evening. I asked for a refund for the crown since he was not able to complete the work and it was easily granted. When I requested the refund, I did express concern over the mercury removal because I read up on mercury and was afraid of what I had swallowed. Fast forward a few weeks to me trying to make appointments for my kiddos and receptionist said "sorry we will no longer be doing business with you or your family because of your disagreement with the procedure." SO lesson learned on expressing my concern, didn't know this happens and honestly bummed because he truly is a great dentist. read more

Let me preface this review by saying as someone who runs a business, customer satisfaction is of the utmost importance. The lack of accountability in this practice is staggering. I scheduled a cleaning appointment on June 25th 2025, 6 months in advance for December 30th at 4:40 P.M. I received a confirmation text confirming my upcoming appointment on December 16th 2025, 14 days out. I also had a chip in the front of my tooth that needed to be address as well. I leave work early to ensure I am punctual and do not want to incur a $45.00 missed appointment fee and commute 46 miles away to his practice In Valencia from DTLA. I arrive with the office locked, lights off and closed with the attached picture on the door. Closed from 12/24-1/5. I call their mainline and call both the emergency numbers referenced multiple times for an answer, both ended in voicemails (good to know if you have a dental emergency, you wont be receiving help). I get a text from one of the numbers hiding behind their keyboard saying, "We called all of the patients that were on the schedule, BUT IF YOU WERE MISSED, WE APOLOGIZE" You did not call, did not e-mail and did not text any cancellation/rescheduling to any of my info on file. You would think a business would exhaust every possible avenue to let a patient know that, if they should show up for their scheduled appointment, they will not be receiving the services rendered because they decided to take 2 weeks off. Nope, not the office of Dr. George Koutsoukos. I would find it hard to believe that I am the only one who received the surprise treatment of their office being closed when they arrived for their appointment. Whoever runs the scheduling of the front office should not be employed any longer. Fast forward to January 5th when the office of Dr. George Koutsoukos decides to open up. I thought I would be receiving another lack of accountability-apology call the morning of when their office opened. Nope. I called them at 10:30 A.M. and spoke to a woman who was probably underqualified for the tough job of looking at the schedule and calling all patients between 12/24-1/5 to cancel and then reschedule. I explained that Tuesday after 4 P.M. would be the only day that I can make it in for the cleaning and to fix the chip in my tooth. My original appointment was Tues at 4:40 P.M. so you'd think this request would be reasonable to accommodate. She was trying to get my to come in 2 separate dates in the morning and middle of the day for both Tues 1/6 + Weds 1/7 both of which could not be attended. You'd think after screwing over a customer of 10+ years they would make it right and fix the problem, but not here. I asked to speak with someone more intelligent like an Office Manager or Dr. Koutsoukos and she refused saying "I do the scheduling so they wouldn't be able to help" After not getting anywhere with the parrot regarding making things right with a customer, I said I will go elsewhere. I find it hard to believe that Dr. Koutsoukos was not briefed about what happened in my situation. If that is not the case and Dr. K is in fact clueless about what is happening in the front office of his business (what a scary thought), give me a call to make things right. Otherwise, I will gladly go to a practice that can perform simple duties such as calling a customer to reschedule an appointment. read more

Would recommend Elite Smiles to any and all people needing any type of work done to your precious teeth. I've been a satisfied customer since 2010 when I first visited this establishment. Elizabeth (Dental Hygienist) has been doing my cleanings for close to 10 years. She is very thorough and professional. Michelle who is the office manager has also been there all 15 years I have been going and is committed to customer satisfaction. Dr. K thanks for a great business read more

This review is way overdue. I can't say enough good things about Elite Smiles. The front desk is warm and welcoming with Tanya and Michelle. Michelle is amazing with insurance and billing. She will work hard to make sure that you get the treatment you need while working with your insurance or out of pocket expenses. As for Dr. Koutsoukos (Dr. K.), you won't be disappointed. Very honest and professional, he truly cares for his patients. I had a major procedure done at his office and Dr. K., Dr. Hosn and Dr. Lee all went above and beyond to make sure that it was successful. I'm so happy about it. Sometimes Dr. K. will be blunt about some needed care and it is very reassuring to know that he truly has your best interest at heart. I can't recommend him and his team enough. Everyone there seems to love working there. Some have been there over a decade and it speaks volumes as to which kind of work environment they have there. A true gem! read more

I drove from Pasadena to Valencia on a friend's recommendation to see Dr. K, and I'm so glad I did. After a difficult experience with another dentist that left me with two extractions and feeling upset, I had to go to another dentist. Dr. K discovered an infection at the site and along with his amazing team gave up their lunch hour and spent over two and a half hours carefully cleaning and treating it. He then checked every single tooth and found a small crack that two other dentists had dismissed as "sensitivity." The level of thoroughness, compassion, and professionalism here is outstanding. Worth the drive and then some thank you, Dr. K and staff! read more

Elite Dentistry I read thru the bad reviews & related to many. They charged me a no show fee when I came to the appt on time & had a bad reaction to laughing gas. It made me very ill & I couldn't go on with the 2 1/2 hour appt. The office manager was nasty. She acted like I was being a problem. This was my 2nd appt (on time for both) & she said I couldn't make another appt unless I got anesthesia, which costs $2000 an appt, not including the dental work. I had 6 appts to go & obviously couldn't afford that. I was very confused about how she was treating me. She said something like, "I don't think you even want to be here." Like yeah I troll dentist offices in my spare time. I was even more annoyed by the fact that they canceled/rescheduled on me the week before & I was very nice about it. She also faulted me for texting them that morning that I had a sore throat. They told me in my 1st appt they were very serious about Covid. So I was following that. The text literally said "I'm ready to be there at 10am but wanted to leave it up to you guys." I finally lost it with the office manager & we got into an argument. I did say "F* you" to her as I was leaving. This is not characteristic of me, but I was ill & she kept antagonizing me as I was walking to the door. I lost it, which wasn't right, but she was definitely the aggressor. There are hidden fees for sure. Like charging me a no show fee when I showed up and got sick from the laughing gas. They also charged me $25 to send the X-rays to my new dentist. I've never been charged for my own records before. TDLR: Not accommodating, office manager is a bully, charges that don't make sense. And if Elite Smiles wants to respond, tell me one untruth in my account of working with you. read more

I hadn't been to the dentist in 2 years as I had a bad experience with how painful the service was with my previous office, so I was a bit nervous to get any work done but the pain from my molar when I drank cold drinks was to unbearable I had to. I had three visits , one for a consultation, one for a root canal and one for a crown. The team really made me feel comfortable , even when I was crying from the nerve test with cold air they helped me through the whole process. At the time I had insurance with Blue shield during the first two visits but it was cancelled after I switched jobs, the girls up front made me aware and helped me figure out a payment plan that worked with the change in cost for my financial situation. I had an overall great experience and love that I can eat comfortably. read more

We have been going to Dr K for maybe 8+ years now and are so happy with their offices! They can get a bit busy and you'll need to schedule out but they are always so professional and thorough! read more

This is in reply to Dr. K's reply to my original review in January 2023... I specifically told the front desk that she had special needs each visit. I also put that information in the intake paperwork. It is then your staff's responsibility to make note of it. I'm not sure why you're trying to make up this narrative that you checked records and didn't have them. Ridiculous. My daughter has since switched to a new place and has ZERO issues there. They are kind, fun, and relatable to her from the start, and she willingly cooperates with the whole process. Night and day experience. I understand that your staff may not have the training to think outside the box a bit, but be upfront about it rather than shaming and insulting to my child. read more

I recently started seeing Dr. K and have had a pleasant experience with him and his staff. His personality makes the experience very comfortable. I recently recommended my sister to start seeing him as well. He is hands down, the best dentist I've ever had. read more

Just say TV commercial for Kaiser Permanente Medicare Dental that said Zero Cost For Exam and X-rays. Confirming that this dentist is charging unauthorized fees by charging a upfront fee for all appointments! read more

At 79, I have been to a few dentists in my time. This dentist is the absolute best ever. His personality carries to his staff. They are all smiles and bubbly. I had a root canal done and a temporary cap put on. His Greek music and his attitude made my 2 hours a pleasure. Absolutely no pain! I mean no pain! Never had such a positive experience with a dentist before. Trust me I can be a cranky old man. read more

I am a new patient and today is my first appointment. It has been a great experience, and I love coming here. Dr. K and his team are very friendly. Thank you all. read more

Let me begin with I am not a fan of going to the dentist. Who is?! This office came highly recommended to me and it didn't disappoint. It had been a couple years since I had been to the dentist, so I was a little nervous going in. Dr. Koutsoukus' demeanor is so friendly and gentle, it quickly eases any anxiety you may have. Now Dr.K keeps my teeth clean and healthy regularly. Dr. Duke is the in house orthodontist and he is equally a pleasure to work with. He straightened my teeth with Invisalign. It took about a year and it was so worth it! Most recently, I took advantage of their special on the Rockstar whitening treatment and I am SO happy I did! I am a daily coffee drinker, so I try to brush often to avoid staining, but my teeth were never as white as I'd like them to be. The whole process takes about an hour. It's easy and completely painless. I walked out THREE shades whiter! My smile is not the same one I walked in with a couple years back. It was definitely a team effort and I'm so happy I have Elite Smiles on my team! read more

Elite Smiles - My new smile right after my Rockstar whitening treatment! - General Dentistry Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

In September 2022 I walked into Elite Smile Dentistry to make an appointment. After asking a couple of questions, the receptionist asked me "who is your insurance provider." I told her I don't have insurance and will pay with a credit card. Immediately I observed the receptionist's demeanor and attitude towards me changed. She became very arrogant, sarcastic, and showed a negative attitude towards me. I decided to walk out never to be back again. read more

Finally, a dental office that is compassionate. The front receptionist is friendly and is always smiling. They answered all my questions and did not rush me. I was hesitant about x-rays, but they kindly explained that their machine has minimal radiation. The Dr: sense of humor is awesome. read more

I can't say enough great things about my experience here. Called Wednesday about having severe pain that wasn't going away. They were able to take me the very next day. I was very nervous since I absolutely hate going to the dentist but everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming from the front desk staff all the way to Dr. K. I was in and out of my appointment in less than an hour. X-rays showed that I needed my wisdom teeth extracted and they were able to take me first thing Saturday. Again, I was extremely nervous considering I've never had to have surgery for anything before. Everyone was SO amazing and had great bedside manner. They made me feel completely at ease and explained everything so well. Dr. Lee did my surgery and everything went amazing! I'm amazed at how fast they were able to take care of me in just a few short days. If you are hesitant about going to the dentist, rest assured that you are in great hands here! read more

Dr. K and his staff were very friendly and helpful. I had tooth pain and the staff was able to squeeze me in for a same day appointment. I have to say that Dr. K is the best dentist I've been to. He pays great attention to detail, such as noticing and removing glue from my braces removal that was stuck for over 10 years. Highly recommend going to see him! read more

Great care I don't like dentist but he is very good . Makes you feel comfortable if you can at a dentist .

Dr. Koutsoukos and the team is amazing! Beginning with the front desk Nelly and Michelle- they always greet everyone with a smile and go above and beyond to make sure that you are well informed with your dental plan. Everyone here has treated me with so much care. It has taking me so long to find a good dentist without feeling like they are taking advantage of me. This whole team is professional and their values align with mine: Integrity, caring, passion, safety, and fun! Thank you for making me feel comfortable, for taking care of me, and for not breaking my wallet. I recently referred my partner and he feels the same way. You guys rock!!! Seriously- everyone here is so nice and genuinely great human beings! read more

My wife and I have been coming to this dentist for over 10 years now. Dr. K is hands down the best dentist I have ever been to. I really appreciate how he takes pride in his work and his personality is awesome. The entire staff from the front desk to the back office are very professional and friendly. I usually fear coming to the dentist, but Dr. K and staff has turned that experience around for me, now it's actually a pleasure coming to get my teeth cleaned every six months. read more

They are friendly, cost effective and the only place I will go for dental work!! I was terrified of dentists until Dr K!! His staff is amazing and welcoming, always happy and friendly. When they have to give shots, you hardly feel them!! A huge bonus compared to other dentists!! My two year loves them and asks when he's going back to see them! I can't recommend a place better than this!! read more

I had the worst experience here and not by the doctor but by the clown at the front desk. I will never go back here, the pricing shouldn't be deceiving it should be clear up front. I wasted my time going here and yet I was being charged $90 for wasting their time as that clown put it. Never again, beware of what is charged to your insurance and out of pocket. read more

Wonderful! I have been coming to Dr. K for a few years now and always have pleasant and professional service. Never experienced any negative issues from my dental work or the accounting. Great job Elite Smiles! read more

I'm deathly afraid of the dentist and after not going to one after quite some time, I bit the bullet and went. I was recommended here and I couldn't be happier. They've made me feel comfortable since day 1 and for a while there, I was there every couple weeks just fixing previous work. The staff is nice and the docs are super super great and compassionate and gentle. I still hate the dentist, but not nearly as much because of these guys. read more

Dr. K is a very professional, and gentle dentist. He really knows what he is doing, and uses all the latest technology. I feel lucky that he takes my insurance. My daughters and I are all his patients and very happy with his work, and his staff is great. I have always had anxiety about going to the dentist, and really hate getting shots. Dr. K has a wonderful technique when administering numbing shots, and I hardly feel them. He is great. read more

I drive from The Valley to Valencia and it's definitely worth the drive. I enjoy coming here and the staff is super professional and friendly. The doc is super cool. Thank you Elite for all you've done for me through out the years. read more

Dr. K is very personable and professional. His highly trained staff have always been conscience of my comfort level while greeting my teeth cleaned. Best dentist I've ever been to. Always a pleasant experience. read more

I love to come here. Unlike other dental plan offices. Dr. K is a true professional. Family atmosphere and long term staff. No oversell... Just great honest dentistry. read more

My entire family has been coming to Dr. K for years. He takes the time to explain everything and was even great helping my kids feel more at ease. His staff is always very friendly and anytime I have called asking for a document, they are quick to email me the same day. My daughter got her braces through their orthodontist and we've been so happy with him as well during the process. I recommend Elite Smiles to anyone looking for a local, attentive dentist and staff! read more

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Dr. K and his staff are. I am sad to say that I have moved out of state and wish I would have brought Elite Smiles with me. Not only is everyone at this dental/ortho practice friendly but they also know what they are doing. Dr. K fixed a deep filling in one of my molars and did an excellent job with the filling and set me at ease when administering the novocaine. I am pretty fearful of dental work, so I was surprised he could calm me down as well as he did. The office is super organized, clean and the equipment is state of the art. They have a designated billing/insurance specialist which makes everything so much less confusing for the patients. I highly recommend setting up an appointment if you need a dentist/ortho. read more

Great staff, great doctors!!!! Everyone is very professional and friendly. So far the best dentists office I have been. I definately recommend them. Nelly was very friendly and polite, she made the process of switching dentist very smooth.Dr. K is very patient, polite and careful when doing the check up. read more

Always friendly and professional and they give new tooth brushes and tooth paste along with a reusable grocery bag.

I have been coming to this office for years and am always pleased with my visits. The office is clean, spacious, and the front desk is very welcoming. Dr. K and his staff always do a great job. He is quick and precise. Hands down the best. Christina does my cleanings and always makes sure i'm comfortable. read more

Dr Koutsoukos is the best! I had a very positive experience dealing with him. His professional demeanor was reassuring and his friendly disposition put me at ease. Going to the dentist can be stressful for some but I had no reservations letting him near my teeth. I received a cleaning and he also renewed the seal on some of my molars. It became evident to me he knew his stuff because he only resealed the teeth that needed it. I really loved how he showed me detailed pictures of my teeth and explained to me what was going on inside my mouth. This was something none of my previous dentists had done to that point. The cleaning that followed was about as enjoyable as you can get considering someone is cleaning your mouth with power tools :p I've since moved down to LA proper since my last visit but I will be making a special visit to Valencia for my semi annual appointment. read more

My husband Robert and I have been going to Dr. K for about 5 years. We love him, his office and his staff. Last week my husband had a sore tooth so I called Jessica and she fit him in the next morning. Turns out he had a broken crown. This was stressful as we were leaving in 3 days on a 5 week vacation. Dr. K put in a temporary cap and called to see if the crown could be rushed. Amazing! The crown was in on Friday as promised and Dr. K cut his lunch short to fit my hubby in. In the end.. We are on vacation and my husband has no pain. This office goes above and beyond the normal business practice. Dr. K really cares! BTW, he also has a great sense of humor! We really enjoy his staff and his office is immaculate. read more

There great with children, which is hard to find. They don't pressure you into NOS. Clean office, restroom, equipment don't look out dated. Great staff! read more

Great experience ! Had my initial visit and was put at ease and felt comfortable as soon as I walked in . Friendly and professional staff. Dr.K was informative and has great personality . I have found my dentist !! Thank you ! read more

Dr. Koutsoukos is the best dentist that I have ever found. I had tooth problems in Orange County and went to a local dentist for implant. There have been so mane issues so I decided to drive to Dr Koutsoukos when my friend recommended him to me. He did one crown on a broken tooth and another bridge crown on my implant. The surgery went so well that I did not even feel much uncomfortable at all. His staff are so very nice and professional. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a precision treatment. I can't thank him enough for ending my two years ordeal! Helen read more
