My family and I have been going to Dr. Marcarian for over 15 years. Dr. Marcarian has basically rebuilt my smile. He is always up to date with new technologies and techniques. His care is outstanding and he really cares about his patients with gentleness and concern. His staff, Debbie, Steve and Jackie, is very attentive, funny and friendly. We feel truly fortunate to have Dr. Marcarian and his staff as our dental team. read more

Q. What is a fear of dentistry called? A. Common sense. Nobody likes going to the dentist. Though they speak soothingly to you as you're waiting in the chair, it's impossible not to eye the arsenal of sharp implements they lay out on their tiny sterilized table with horror. So, if you are like I am, and you experience a tiny wave of terror every time you think of going to the dentist, I recommend you go see Dr. Marcarian. After decades of seeing the same dentist (and a few years of feeling as though I wasn't receiving their best care), I decided to make the switch to Dr. Marcarian, and it was the best decision I could have made for my dental health. Now, not only do I see him, but my best friend and boyfriend do as well! The waiting room is clean, comfortable, and inviting. Overstuffed chairs and couches provide plenty of sitting room, so if there's a wait, you are able to wait in comfort. The reception area is set up so that there is a low bar separating you from the back rooms, but it's possible to see the receptionist and technicians at all times; a nice distinction from being shut off from everyone and everything in the back at other doctors' offices. The staff is friendly and informative. They do their best to accommodate your schedule without hassle or resentment, and the hygienists are great at setting even the most nervous patient's mind at ease. Dr. Marcarian himself is wonderful. He is gentle, kind, and easygoing, quick with a joke and ready to engage his patients. That's not to say anything of his experience and professionalism; in particular, I have found that he is incredibly thorough, not only with his explanations and descriptions of procedures, but in his walk-through when he is attending to patients directly. It's such a relief to know when and what to expect in the next step in what a dentist is doing. Don't let my review be the only one that sways you; though there are few reviews on here for Dr. Marcarian, I promise that every bit of praise he's received is well-earned. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Marcarian and his entire support staff! When I made a recent move to Encino, finding a new dentist was one of the tasks I dreaded most. I am so thankful to have found this office. In addition to being an extremely skilled dentist, he is a warm and funny man who strives to ensure his patients are comfortable and happy. I appreciate that he never makes me feel rushed, and spends as much time as needed to ensure I understand the procedure at hand as well as the options available to me. I recently had a veneer pop off (that had been placed by a different dentist over 10 years ago), and Dr. Marcarian came to my rescue to fix it that very morning. I was in tears when I arrived, but within minutes he had me laughing and out the door with my veneer back in place. Like others have noted, I've also had Dr. Marcarian call to check on me himself. I've gone to many other dentists in the past, and I've never received that level of service before. To find a doctor who genuinely cares about his patients is very rare, in my opinion. I recommend this office and Dr. Marcarian without hesitation. You would be hard pressed to find a more caring office staff or a more talented dentist. read more

I was born with an unfortunate condition commonly known as being "tongue-tied." The frenulum, or that skin under the tongue, naturally extends all the way to the tip, making my tongue basically useless for speech and other, um, activities. I'd gotten it cut before, but it grew back, so I decided to look into the magic of laser lingual frenectomies. If you're tongue-tied and need to be shot in the mouth with a laser, I couldn't recommend Dr. Mercarian more. The procedure was comfortable, quick, and the Doc even called me later to see how I was doing. The prices were sane; as a patient, I'm always trying to find that perfect marriage between reasonable prices and top-notch care. I'd rather pay more for great work, but here, I didn't have to. If you hate the dentist because of the stuffy/scary atmosphere, look no further; "the doc" has an excellent sense of humor. I'm not the type of person who relaxes to dolphin pictures and guided meditation. I need to make a joke. I need to be treated like the intelligent, youth-ey, humor-hungry gal I am. Dr. Mercarian and his adorable assistant Stephen were like the dental versions of Stewart and Colbert. I've never felt more comfortable at a dentist's office. read more

I would never trust my pearly whites to anyone else other than Dr. Marcarian and his staff. It was hard for me to trust another dentist after a horrible experience I had with a previous dental visit before becoming Dr. Marcarian's patient. I had just moved in the area and went to one that was nearby. Needless to say, I never went back to that dentist. I found Dr. Marcarian back when he was working at a dental group office located in Reseda. He opened his own location and I decided I was going to follow him wherever he went. I've been a patient of his for about 8 years now. I've come to know his staff, who are very friendly. My hygenist, Roy, is gentle and thorough when cleaning my teeth. My experiences at this dental office have been anything but horrific. There has not been one instance where I was given less than satisfactory care. Dr. Marcarian is very skilled in what he does, and uses up-to-date technology. His work is amazing! And for those who don't have insurance, they accept a payment plan through Care Credit. read more

First off I's like to say that he is the best dentist I have ever been to. I went into his office and they called me in right on time of my appointment. It was a vary clean and spacious office and room. All the staff there were amazing! I went in for a gingivectomy, and I am so happy I chose Dr. Marcarian for this procedure. I am extremely satisfied with the work he did on my teeth. Before I had a gummy smile, I was very self conscious of it, and now I am in love with my new smile. Almost halfway into the procedure he showed me what he had done, and I just broke down in tears of joy, literally tears of joy was rolling down my face as he was continuing with the rest. I LOVE the way it looks now!!! He is a very kind, funny and a friendly man. Prior to my procedure date, at my consultation he was very informational. He took is time and explained everything and didn't rush through it at all. I also would like to mention that I have never in my life experienced a dentist numbing my gums the way he did. I DID NOT FEEL A THING THE WHOLE TIME!!! From start to finish. He took his time slowly giving the numbing solution one section at a time. HE IS THE BEST!!!!! I defiantly recommend anyone with any kind of dental work to go to Dr. Marcarian!!!! read more

I have been coming with Dr. Marcarian for 13 years and I cannot say enough good things about him and his staff. It's nice to find a medical office that you trust and where they are always reliable. Dr. Marcarian is friendly, knowledgeable and extremely professional. Both RDA's Jackie and Steve take pride in their work, always welcome you with a smile and you can tell they are truly committed to fulfilling patients needs while making you feel at ease. Debbie the Office Manager is always helpful and thorough when explaining benefits. Every hygienist that I have scheduled with has done a great job. The office is impecable with a very nice atmosphere. Now I actually look forward to visit wether it's for a 6 month cleaning or a dental emergency. The delicious coffee is a plus :) I can say with all honesty that I am always happy when I visit Dr. Marcarian's office! Thank you guys for always making me smile a little brighter! read more

Truly i apologize to Dr. Marcarian! He is a great dentist:) I was always so busy with work, and missed appointments, but he was always nice enough to bring me in as soon as possible, during any emergency he was always there. He took his time, and helped me a lot, always calling to check up after any major root canal, etc. I am afraid of dentists and it took me a good year to warm up to him, he really does want the best for his patients. There were times when i wanted something done, and would be nice enough to tell me don't spend the money on that, do just what needs to be done, i respect that, I was a pain for the most part, but he was patient enough to deal with me...:)) You really are such a nice dentist, thanks for dealing with me! I know I'm not an easy patient.....! Thanks Rita I read more

I dental inplants dine by Doc Marcarian few years ago. It had to be reconstructed twice because the intitial implant was noy in proper place. read more

Just got my teeth cleaned today, my regular routine. I love love my dentist & staff, their the BEST & the CLEANEST DENTISTRY/ Orthodontist in town. Jamie cleaned my teeth today & she was amazing, kind & efficient. Team Marcarian is the BEST read more

I had to get fillings replaced this morning, and was a little nervous. It has been years since I've had to have "work" done on my teeth besides the typical cleaning. Dr. Marcarian and Steve were great! He was patient, too his time and walked me through each step of the way. I have to have my right side done and I will definitely not be as nervous as I was going into my appointment today. No one really enjoys going to the dentist, but at least they make it as easy and pleasant as possible. My husband is a patient of his and is just as impressed. read more

Usually going to the dentist is painful and difficult, but at Dr. Marcarian, it's easy and very pleasant. His staff is organized, friendly and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. (Lindy and Stephen are amazing!) His office is nicely decorated, he has all the modern bells and whistles for examining your teeth PLUS they have evening and Saturday hours, so making an appointment is easy. Highly recommend. read more

There is not enough good things I can say about Dr. Marcarian. He is honest, forthright and an excellent dentist. I have had numerous issues with my teeth and he is one of the best dentists I have ever had. Today, I had an emergency where I was in pain. I called and they immediately called me back and I got in. One tooth needed root canal and Dr. Marcarian at first wasn't sure. He checked it out with an X-ray and listened to what I had to say... He doesn't jump right in right away and do things that are unnecessary. I appreciate that. The staff is also very nice and very knowledgeable. I can't say enough good things about this office and Dr. Marcarian. read more

Fantastic Dental Office. Friendly, knowledgeable,honest staff from the the dentist to the front desk staff. Every experience has been as good as a dental experience can be. I've referred everyone in my family, they're grateful for the referral. Super positve vibe office. read more

Dr. Marcarian gives great service and care. I totally recommend him and gladly give him and his staff five stars.

Not many people like going to the dentist, but we all know that we have to! Dr. Marcarian Is the best dentist you will find. He makes you feel comfortable, explains everything that he is going to do, and makes sure that there is as little pain as possible. I've been seeing him for 10 years and due to earlier neglect on my part. I've had a lot of work done, root canal, extraction, implants and I've never felt anything other than very minor pain. He has taught me how to take better care of my teeth so I won't have more problems. The office and staff are very nice and as crazy as it sounds I now look forward to going to the dentist. read more

Dr. Marcarian and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, gentle, kind and compassionate. I walked into his office many years ago with dental fear and the team alleviated those fears right away. Great chair side manner! I recently had two old crowns replaced by them and I love the results. I am so much more confident. I highly recommend working with this office! Five stars! read more

I can honestly say I am extremely satisfied with Dr. Marcarian and his offices (Encino and Burbank). As a patient of Dr. Marc for over 10 years after a long and exhausting search throughout the San Fernando Valley to Ventura County for a reliable and knowledgeable dentist, I had found Dr. Marc through a referral with a remarkable work of his. Not only Dr. Marc and his offices offer outstanding services, he has been consistently skilled, very professional, with morality to go along with all that. Dr. Marc is always exuberant warmth and friendly, he is also honorable and takes pride in his works. read more

Best dental office ever! Dr. Marcarian is so great. He is skilled, meticulous, has a great chairside manner, and explains things thoroughly in a way that makes the process seem effortless. Dr. Marcarian takes pride in keeping up with the latest Dental technology and always shares his latest finds. Dr. Marcarian has a state of the art dental office and a professional and friendly staff. Great experience as always! I highly recomend Dr. Marcarian's office! read more

Dr. Marcarian and his team are absolutely incredible. I've been going here for about 9 years now and it is something I actually look forward to. I can't recommend highly enough. Dr. Marcarian and his staff are patient, knowledgeable, gently, thorough and best sense of humor. Dr. Marcarian takes the time to listen to your needs, he will never push treatments, and he's very direct about your options and has not once up-sold me or performed any unnecessary procedures. In the past he has worked out payment arrangements that works best for me (Thank you!). Dr. Marcarian office is always clean and up-to-date with the newest technologies. I've only wait maybe once past my schedule time for like 5-10 mins, usually stay little longer having great Armenian coffee with staff and Dr. Marcarian which he personally makes himself. What else is there to say other then Dr. Marcarian and team are a hidden gem. read more

I simply can not say enough good things about Dr Marcarian and his staff. I have been going there for about a year now and had some fillings and root canals done and the overall experience has been smooth. The office is always clean, I never have to wait to see the doctor and the assistants working there are so friendly and professional. No one likes going to the dentist, however Dr. Marcarian makes it fun. He has a great sense of humor and makes you feel very comfortable. read more

My family and I have known Dr. Gevik Marcarian for the last 10 years, going back to his Encino office. While traveling from Glendale to Encino to see Dr. Marcarian was always a challenge because of time restraints on our part and of course the traffic on the 101 Fwy, we never hesitated to do so given his work ethics, the professional approach and the knowledge. It goes without saying that his staff in both, the Encino office as well as in Burbank office, too are very professional and are always there to assist with a smile on their face. Definitely the best and the most professional dental offices by far!!! read more

Im going to make it very short and to the point, we (family ) have been going to Dr. Marcarian for past 15 yrs, he is the best and honest dentist in SFV , and a great gentelman, if you meet him and talk to him you will know how nice he is and when your visit ends you will remember my review. we are greatful to have him in our lives. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Marcarian for probably over a decade now. I found him because a previous dentist that gave me a filling was not able to correct the height of the filling without it causing me tremendous pain when I bit down. Dr. Marcarian fixed the problem right away and none of his work has ever left me lasting pain. I feel very confident in him and even if I move away from the local area, I'd still like to keep him as my dentist. Also, he does have a very friendly, professional and welcoming staff which is an additional plus. If you're looking for great dental care, he is the one to visit. read more

Knowing I was due for extensive dental work, I carefully researched dentists till I found someone with excellent credentials, a history of extended education credits, and great patient reviews. I found that person in Doctor Marcarian. Now, with a decade of completed procedures behind me I know I made the right decision. The whole staff has been incredibly knowledgeable and supportive and makes my visits to the office a positive experience. If there were ten rating stars available, they'd get them. read more

Amazing!! Best dentist ever and I would know because sadly I've been to many. He really cares and on a few occasions has called me to check up on a recent visit or just to answer questions. The staff is friendly, educated and so helpful. I've recommended a few friends to him and they are all in love. An absolute must!!! I swear you won't regret it :) read more

My family has been seeing Dr. Marcarian for nearly four years. We moved out of the Valley in 2011 and while my husband kept make the drive to see Dr. Marcarian, I decided to find a local dentist. Such a mistake! I now make the 45-60 minute drive twice a year for my cleanings and check ups. The staff is fantastic. They validate parking. The office is clean and comfortable. Dr. Marcarian has a great chair-side manner. I recently had my 3 1/2 year old have his first check up & cleaning. The dental hygienist who cleaned his teeth was truly amazing with him. She managed to get him to lay still for the entire process. He even let her floss his teeth. No small feet, my soon is not the sit still type. We will keep Mr. Marcarian as our dentist as long as we live within driving distance. read more

I found Dr. Marcarian via Yelp reviews when I first moved into the Valley from Hollywood.. and boy I am SOOO happy! This is the BEST Dr., Office, Staff ever! I go to the Encino office and the staff from when you call them on the phone to when you are in the chair are genuinely sweet, hip, and know what they are doing. Dr. Marcarian explains to you any procedure, calls you back personally to check how you're doing and is painless! I've gotten an implant, an emergency extraction (when I was 3 months pregnant) and normal deep cleanings and every procedure was painless and done very well! I plan to bring my new daughter in.. and would definitely recommend coming to Dr. Marcarian's office! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Marcarian for many years. I've experienced his services enough times to know what a great dentist he is. He has performed fillings, crowns and numerous teeth cleanings on me over the years. I've never had any problems and the results have always been good. He advocates preventive medicine and if you listen to him (and follow his advice) you won't have to see him that often. read more

Wow!!! The best dentist. He really cares for his patients. This is a classy operation. He is doing implants for me and he had to remove two bad teeth that my previous dentist screwed up. He was so gentle and smooth that I did not feel the shots he gave me. I did not even have to take pain medications after. It sounds unbelievable but its true. I am a real client:) I had several appointments with him so far and I never had to wait in some waiting room for a long time before being seen. His prices are reasonable too:) "Do your self a favor and go to him". I wish I had known about him before I went to my previous dentist. His assistance is also very good. They make a great team. These guys know what they are doing. They are like a perfect symphony. The rest of the staff is also very professional. I am a very busy person and always forget my appointments but they called me to remind me. Thank you Doctor Marcarian:) read more

No questions asked... The best dentist in town!!! The staff is fantastic, friendly and so nice to talk to. Dr. Marcarian is very knowledgable and has much patience with you. Definitely recommend. :) read more

Gevik Marcarian, DDS - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Encino, California

Great and friendly staff. Dr. Marcarian is a knowledgable dentist who makes you feel confortable and relaxed. Five stars all the way. :))))

This review of Dr. Gevik Marcarian is long overdue!. Both my son and I am patients of his. I had my restorations done first. Beautiful work! My son's case was more challenging. After he had an examination and evaluation from another dentist, this particular dentist wanted to place zirconia crowns on ALL his molars due to grinding and decay. I forwarded the x-rays and treatment plan for Dr. Marcarian to review. He them made an appointment with Dr. Marcarian for an evaluation. The "verdict" was that for a young man of 22 years old, that was a way too aggressive treatment he didn't need. What a blessing (especially to me, his dad) that this good doctor intervened and the "proper" treatment prevailed! I'm blessed to have my first grandchild on the way (we found out a girl) and she will be the THIRD GENERATION of us Dr. Marcarian will have as patients! read more

Dr. Marcarian is the most patient, professional dentist I have ever seen. I have seen him since 2007 and refer everyone who asks for a dentist to him. Not only does he provide excellent medical care, but he also takes care of my nerves/anxiety w needles/drills. He is the best! read more

I didn't actually have work done by this doctor, but the star rating is for the lack of customer service and rudeness I experienced. I went for a consultation to have some cosmetic work done (because of the reviews I read about him), but didn't want to go there for my ongoing dental needs because it is too far from me. They were nice at first, but when the Dr. found out that I didn't want to go there ongoing, he basically told me not to bother coming to them for this procedure because it was "too much leg work" for them to deal with the insurance if I wasn't going to go there for long term dental work. I was floored! This was after he went on and on about how he likes to help people look better and feel good about themselves during my initial visit! I guess he only wants to help people look good if it's going to have a financial benefit for him in the long term. read more

It is a with heavy heart that I try to establish dental care here in San Francisco. I kept him as a dentist for 2.5 years since I moved here to SF but alas the distance is getting to be too much. But before I try to move on I wanted to remember the good memories with Dr. Marcarian. He is a really laid back cool guy & the entire staff is nice. I will miss the funny conversations he has with his staff while he's working on my teeth painlessly. Out of the five dentists I have visited my entire life, he was the funnest to visit & his anesthesia injections (which I really dislike) were amazingly painless most of the time, & when he couldn't make it painless because of inevitable sensible areas, he would let me know so I could brace myself. I really liked his honesty and real-talk. And when I had no job & was struggling financially but still needed dental work, he gave me discounts/special pricing on all my services. He is by far the best dentist I have been to. I will miss not hating to go to the dentist because they made it a fun experience. I hope I can find that experience closer to my home. We shall see. Thanks to you all Dr. Marcarian and staff :) read more

Dr. Marcarian is the BEST. So sweet and professional. Really puts you at ease and makes you laugh. I managed to go 25 years without a cavity and so was a little nervous when it was time for my first filling. From the moment I walked in though, Dr. Marcarian put a smile on my face with his great sense of humor. He talked me through every step of the process and the whole thing was quick and painless. He's on time, knows what he's talking about, and is everything you'd want in a dentist! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Marc for 4 years now. The dentist has always been my least favorite medical visit, but Dr. Marc and his staff make it pleasant. They are super friendly, knowledgeable, and they try to be gentle. I had gum surgery last year and they worked with me to make a payment plan for the portion my insurance didn't cover. I would definitely recommend Dr. Marcarian. read more

I have to echo the other positive comments here. As an LA transplant with no experienced friends or family to point me in the right direction, I've gone through my share of unfortunate dental experiences. As far as I'm concerned (and as long as I have my current insurance), my search is over. Dr. Marcarian is trustworthy, patient, and warm. I had a cleaning done and a follow-up to fill three cavities and can't complain about anything. read more

Just had my first visit after a recommendation from a co-worker. Usually don't write reviews but Dr. Marcarian and his staff deserve the 5 stars. Extremely friendly and helpful, and never felt rushed by the doctor. Definitely recommend. read more
