I just wish there was a little more transparency, in terms of how much it would be during my initial phone call with the front desk. I was told my dental insurance would cover 80-90% of everything, but it didn't turn out that way when I was provided my treatment plan. Definitely would not say it's a flaw in the dental office so I'd highly recommend coming here for a smooth wisdom teeth procedure. I was also scheduled a follow up appointment a week after and the services given were super consistent!!

Categorizing dentists in a less than favorable stack-ranking in my life of people to highly avoid - Dr. Balacky and his team made my wisdom tooth/coronectomy procedure shockingly smooth. From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, reassuring, and incredibly professional. They clearly knew I was one of those patients (internally panicking but trying to act cool), and they handled it with consideration, patience, and zero judgment. Dr. Balacky explained everything clearly, laid out my options with rationale, and somehow made a fairly intimidating procedure feel manageable. The actual surgery was quick and far less dramatic than I had built it up to be in my head (the drugs obvi helped). His skill and calm demeanor (w/ a little bit of humor) made a huge difference. He even called me after the surgery to see how I was doing. Had my Post-op appointment today and though I'm still in a bit of pain, he reassured me that that was completely normal, especially considering I'm not a teenager anymore lol. If you're someone who would rather do literally anything else than go to the dentist but the resurrection of a wisdom tooth has decided to ruin your life --this is your place. Dr. Balacky and his team might not make you love dental work, but they'll definitely make you stop fearing it.

She's a gem: a knowledgable dentistry professional who genuinely cares about scheduling and working optimally with your insurance to make the care of your teeth as affordable as possible. If we could all strive to have her attitude, we would all be happier and the world would be a better place. Her warmth has helped me many times. Anecdote: After 6 months with a periodontist (also a good experience if not shell-shocking because of the cost) getting my jaw prepped for an implant, Dr. Hom helped me choose the color of my new tooth, and he listened to my input while offering his expertise, and that's a rare talent. He has always been respectful when I've expressed my discomfort and adjusted what he was doing to cause me less pain while he prepped my jaw and neighboring molars for the new crown. Placing my new tooth, he was exacting, quick, and skilled. It feels like I have my old tooth back.

However, when I arrived, it seemed like they had other plans that day. Instead of the treatment, the dentist said he would do a cleaning. The cleaning was done very quickly about five minutes and did not feel thorough at all. Also I visited on March 6 and at the beginning, I was told that everything would be covered by Medi-Cal. However, after the treatment, I was told that I needed to pay $400 for two teeth. This was very surprising because Medi-Cal usually covers root canal treatments, and the cost was not explained to me in advance. Later they said that the dentist was invited from another office and that I had to pay extra for his experience. This was only mentioned after the treatment was completed. Unfortunately, my teeth are still hurting after the visit, and I was not given a receipt for the payment. Overall, I am very disappointed with the experience and the lack of transparency about the costs. It feels misleading when patients are told that Medi-Cal will cover the treatment and then asked to pay extra afterward. I would not recommend this clinic.

Yesterday, I had an amazing experience while getting my teeth pulled. Dr. Kalasho did lovingly "scold" me, but it came from a place of genuine care and concern. I truly felt like a VIP--watching Netflix with a weighted blanket, under-eye patches, and even provided reading glasses so I could relax comfortably while enjoying my movie. This morning, I woke up with no pain, just some expected soreness in my jaw, but no discomfort in the treated area. I was even able to go to work without any issues. A huge thank you to Misha, Dr. Kalasho, and the entire team for checking in on me, making sure I was comfortable, offering water, and ensuring I didn't doze off. Your care and kindness mean so much!

1st off Dr. Kalasho closed this office…read more I had Dr. Kalasho do a root canal and the crown and remove my wisdoom tooth in Jan 2025. I had no problems with the work done, or at least I though so.. In the spring of 2025, I went for a checkup, and Dr Kalasho was on leave and her replacement told me I developed another 2 cavities... just a few months after the original cavity was fixed. I couldnt believe my ears and I agreed to fix it. However, they had just closed the Hollywood office, and the closest location would have then been in Beverly Hills and I had no interest in visiting not even once. And I didnt have time to look for a new denist in the area. Fast forward to the spring 2026, I went to 2 different reputable denists in the area and they both said I had no cavity in that tooth.. I was in awe. Questions came flashing back.. Why every time did I have to sign the waiver 10x longer and more specific than at other denist's I have gone to? Why I was charged 5k for a crown that another denist said did not have that u-shape that teeth have to block most of the food in between the teeth? Was it as bad as I was made to believe? I don't know. But my suspicious makes sense. The office and the equipmennt that looked better than I have seen in Hollywood movies. Friendly chit-chat WITH LITERALLY EVERYONE in the office. Talking about families, sharing personal stories, laughing together. And then the friendly by the way reminder.. Do you want to prepay? Let's take care of this bill right away etc etc. At the end of the day, however, I couldnt shake the feeling how forced the interactions appeared. Too good to be true, fake. Well.. now, I know for sure.

**Revised to address the Doctor's response - what an awful, untrustworthy and condescending person…read more First, he called me to discuss this review and offered a free consultation in exchange for taking down this review, which I believe is a violation of Yelp's terms. Second, what he states below is completely different from both what his staff said over the phone and not at all what he shared with me when we spoke. He was adamant that they needed to charge all fees up front. He reiterated numerous times that he wasn't a benefits expert but he has advisors and staff he trusts to understand it better. So when I shared that I am well versed on insurance benefits, both as a patient and a plan administer for my own company, I thought he might actually take interest in learning about how unethical it is to charge a patient twice. Instead he repeatedly spoke over me and told me that - while he himself wasn't knowledgeable on insurance, clearly I must still be wrong. Now he's writing that they only do this in some cases (no insurance or out of network), but all the sudden he's now saying that they only charge an estimate when the are in network - first time that's being said. This person continually spoke over me and let his ego drive the conversation. I hung up when it was clear that he had zero respect for me or the time I offered after he asked to speak to me. In no world is this someone I would trust with the health of my jaw or ever being under anesthesia. To purposely call someone to deride them when you have no real knowledge is its own ethical issue. Get your business in order, sir. First, it took three calls and two voicemails to even hear from anyone. Second, the billing practices are completely unethical - they bill you up front for all services AND then bill your insurance. They claim they'll reimburse you whatever insurance decides to pay. It's beyond unethical. Finally, their front office is wildly unhelpful. Not only do they not return calls, but they can't answer basic questions like how much a consultation costs. Between ethics violations, insurance fraud and incompetent administration, I'm not sure how they got so many 5 star reviews without paying for them (insanely common for dentists and plumbers on Yelp).

The dentist is very professional, very friendly and very personable.

The quality of the procedure itself was great, which is why I would still consider returning if my remaining wisdom teeth need treatment in the future. The reason for my 3-star rating is the pain management aspect of my experience. After surgery, I experienced severe pain that lasted nearly two weeks. During that time, I was unable to work, and could do little beyond resting and trying to manage the discomfort. I understand the doctor's position that studies show Tylenol and ibuprofen are often the most effective approach, and I also understand that stronger pain medications should be prescribed carefully. However, in my case, I felt that the severity of my pain was not taken seriously when I expressed concerns and requested additional relief. I don't think it's one size fits all, and everyone's bodies and pain tolerances are different, and I'm sure the infection I had prior to the surgery didn't help the pain aspect. The small amount of stronger pain medication I was prescribed was the only thing that provided meaningful relief, allowing me to sleep and function without being in constant distress, along with icing my face, but it did not last me enough to be able to go back to work and function, which was very frustrating. I'm in my late 20s, so perhaps my recovery was more difficult than average. Regardless, every patient experiences pain differently and recovers differently. I have full confidence in this doctor's skill and professionalism, but I wish there had been more flexibility and consideration for my individual circumstances when it came to pain management. That part of the experience has made me hesitant about returning, despite my positive impression of the doctor and the quality of the surgery itself.
