ATTENTION: Patients check your billing. I strongly recommend that patients review their insurance Explanation of Benefits and see if that aligns with what the dentist is charging them. I paid for my girlfriends treatment and handled the billing issues directly with the office and insurance. In our situation, the insurance confirmed that we in fact did over pay by over $800. We have now begun the complaint process with the insurance. We could wait up to 30 days for the insurance to investigate. The billing issue has been deeply frustrating. We received office ledgers showing balances that did not match what was reflected on the EOB determined after the insurance processed, and verified. This dentist is an in network provider and they have contracted rates that cap what a patient will be charged for different services. As a patient I would suggest not to assume that the balance that the dentist office shows is certain to be correct. What makes this situation even worse is how challenging it has been to get the overpayment refunded. When we have called the office on numerous occasions we have been told repeatedly that the finance person responsible for handling these matters is unavailable Going to the office in person multiple times to request the refund of over $800 that we paid out of pocket also did not yield any results for us. Repeatedly we were told that the finance person was not in the office for the day yet. When we asked when the finance person would arrive and be available, the staff told us that they did not know when the finance representative would be coming in. When our insurance called on our behalf, they were also told that the person responsible for finance was not available. At this stage, the constant delays are improper. The insurance company validated that an overpayment has taken place and informed the dentist office of such. A patient should not have to call multiple times, visit the office repeatedly or hope the finance person is there at the time of arrival to have money that is owed to them returned. Today we started the formal complaint process through the insurance since we were unable to resolve with the dentist directly. I suggest patient carefully review all of you EOB from your insurance company. Request an itemized ledger from the Dental office and then compare that to what your insurance says is your responsibility. What we have learned from this experience is that patients need to be careful and attentive to the finacials of their services at this dental office. I will return to this review with an update once the insurance completes its investigation and we receive our refund and things are resolved. read more

I have been shopping for a new dental office and I'm happy to report I've found the fit. A friend strongly recommended this practice and I didn't see Kerkorian, but rather a lovely female dentist (I was hoping I could find her name on the website but she's not there so forgive me for forgetting this excellent practitioner's name). Ani is an amazing hygienist and I was in and out as a new patient with full x-rays in only 45 minutes. Amazing. The ONLY thing I can suggest to improve the experience is to re-think the office sanitation procedure. Instead of cleaning a chair between visitors or using a paper liner for the chairs, there is thin plastic tarping covering the chair - that sticks right to hot legs on a hot day and makes things rather uncomfortable. It's not "green" at all to use disposable plastic (no plastic bags can go into recycling) instead of simply giving a chair a disinfecting wipe between patients. I don't know if that is what the "Green" stands for in the firm's name, but the leaf logo makes me think there should be more eco-forward practices here. I would knock off half a star, but since I can't, I'm rounding up for the excellent service, friendly staff, and ease of street parking. Thank you, Green California! read more

Been going to them for years - always excellent care and wonderful staff. Will work with your budget as well. Highly recommended!

Dr. Kerikorian is the best. He helped me repair all my teeth after years of damage. Love the staff. Highly recommend.

Let me say I am so afraid of the Dentist BUT this place is amazing. From making my appointment to the day of my appointment everything was amazing and I have absolutely no complaints. I got a filling done because it had fallen out and The dentist was super sweet and the dental assistant as well. They kept making sure I was ok through the process. Thank you all I definitely will keep going back!! read more

I had a crown needing replacement and the office was able to accommodate my schedule and get me in and eliminated the pain that day.

RIPPED ME OFF & LIED TO MY FACE ABOUT MY INSURANCE COVERAGE!! Told me my insurance did not cover the work I needed, made me pay full price up front, then I found out the procedures ARE INDEED COVERED, but refused to refund the extra thousands of dollars! TRASHY BUSINESS, NOT TO BE TRUSTED!!! read more

I'm a chicken when it comes to dental care after an unfortunate wisdom tooth extraction years ago while living in the Caribbean. The last few dentists I've seen have been disappointing and I've never returned after the original visit, until now. I certainly never thought I'd be writing a 5-star review for a dentist and especially not mere hours after an emergency tooth extraction but here we are! We don't have dental insurance but have a "reimbursement plan" through my husband's employer, so finding a quality dentist who worked with our plan could be difficult. I found myself in an urgent situation after losing a filling in January, cracking my tooth in February and then 10 days ago breaking 3/4 of my tooth COMPLETELY OFF. So I did my research and called Green California Dental, and first impressions blew me away. The level of customer service, and the compassion and care from the first phone call to Jesus and the X-rays to the exam, procedure and offering to help me get paperwork for a reimbursement through out care plan was unbelievable! I was feeling, scared uncomfortable and vulnerable and the girl who answered not only got me in the following morning (I called right before closing on Friday) BUT instantly put me at ease. I woke up with a migraine and almost canceled my appointment (my nerves may have played a part in that) but I'm so glad I didn't! Both Dentists were EXCEPTIONAL and it was immediately apparent they actually cared about my physical, mental (and financial) wellbeing and would work WITH me for the best plan of care. Turned out my tooth was not save-able, and I needed an extraction and then either an implant or bridge (we agreed on implant to save my teeth). They originally thought they'd need to send me to an oral surgeon, because the extraction would be difficult (the entire tooth was broken off below the gum line except for one small corner) instead Dr.Scharf (spelling?!) felt confident she could do it right then. Thank goodness she did, as she found a little infection, so avoided future complications and pain plus getting me closer to an implant and back to a carefree smile! PLUS a visit to an oral surgeon would have not only been expensive (THOUSANDS $$) but would have delayed my care. Dr.S spent time thoroughly explaining everything to me, without even a hint of condescension before beginning the procedure. I can not stress enough it was virtually painless!! Literally, the least painful shots I've EVER received (and there were 5 or 6 at least!) and the extraction was only a mild discomfort, some pressure and ...DONE! If you need to get dental work done- this is the place! I'm actually looking forward to getting my smile back on track and feel confident having my son come here for quality, painless care! Dr. K & his staff are phenomenal! read more

Varand and his whole team are amazing. They are so professional. Recently I got my wisdom teeth taken out and I expected the worst. I can't believe how seamless this team did it. It barely hurt at all and I thought I would have a terrible recovery but it's been phenomenal!! So glad I went here for that. read more

Personally I am terrified of anything dental related because of experiences as a child , but this office changed my whole perspective. I got a consult done and all 4 wisdom teeth extracted within 2 hours. The doctor was very informative, super nice, the staff was great and made sure I was feeling okay throughout the whole procedure. The front desk was also super nice and very informative of the breakdown of what my insurance was covering. Thank you for the great dental experience I would definitely refer anyone to this office ! read more

I wish I can give this place 6 stars. Everybody here is so welcoming which makes visiting such a terrifying place pleasant. Dr K is not only great with adults but also with my 6 and 3 year old girls. read more

I went to this place once, the chairs were just separated with curtains (i like a little bit of privacy) so that threw me off already but, then again, I heard good things about dr. k. had x-rays done and he came to talk to me. It was not good news, he found I had 7(!) cavities that needed filling and he wanted to place 2 crowns. This exceeded my insurance coverage but he was adamant it all really needed to be done. After all you need to take care of your teeth, right? Also I had to have my teeth cleaned, I was told they were so bad this needed to be done over 2 sessions and I had to have anesthesia for this too... Since this was the first time in years I had any cavities at all I was quite shocked and decided to get a second opinion. And boy was I ever glad I did!!!! I had dr k's x-rays sent over to an actual dentist who quickly told me I had no cavities, zero, none. you hear that dr k??? NONE! Also I had my teeth cleaned at the actual dentist, no anesthesia needed whatsoever and all done in one (quick) session. These scam artists were willing to drill into perfectly healthy teeth and give anesthesia where it was absolutely not needed. just for financial gains?! that is absolutely disgusting. please stay as far away from this place as possible if your teeth are dear to you! And were you to think the dentist i went to after this place was merely telling me what I liked to hear? this was 3 years ago and I have not had any issues nor cavities since. Please, do yourself a huge favor and don't go here.. ever! read more

Best dentist EVER !! Very professional. Super staff, painless cleanings!! Also has ca a great sense of humor and willing to pose for "Curbside Checkup" during this crazy pandemic. read more

Look at all the great reviews. Dr. K. Is the best. I changed insurance to save money and was so upset that I may not get to have his service. I got lucky and i was able to see him for an emergency. His office worked with me because my insurance did not cover much. January I am going to change insurance and pay more so I can continue to get the great service from Dr. K. read more

Amazing Dentist and hygienist always takes great care of me would highly recommend this place!!!

Dr. Kerikorian has been my dentist for the past few years. I have been to many different dentists and never found the right one till I found Green California Dental group. With this dental group I never had any problem with my insurance and the costs of the dental work. Every visit I'm greeted by very nice and friendly staff who explain all insurance related and out of pocket costs if any ahead of time, after being examined by the Dr. Dr. Kerikorian is a very nice, friendly and caring dentist with a big sense of humor. I have been very satisfied with the quality of the dental work. I just had a root canal about a week ago and finally I was "crowned" yesterday. Even though the wait time is very short you can always find fresh coffee at the waiting area. Very easy to make appointments with reminder calls. I have recommended Dr. Kerikorian to many friends and family. I'm sure you are going to have a very satisfied experience with him and his staff. read more

The dentist was nice but the front staff failed to tell me about another option for teeth cleaning , an option cheaper than the $200 deep cleaning I initially had been told about which I found unnerving. The dentist also 'repaired' a chipped front tooth for one of my parents by sculpting the bottom half of the tooth with a plaster like substance. I was told that this procedure is all my parent needed, and it cost close to $240. I wary about this being a permanent solution and of course the plaster solution didn't work as it broke off just a week later. I was then forced to pay $600 more to get a crown which I feel should have been the initial solution. read more

Everyone here is so friendly and welcoming! The front desk staff Kristal and her partner are super nice. Jesus and dr. Varand kerikorian are the best and very professional, they make you feel comfortable and make sure you're in no pain. All of my family goes here because they feel safe and comfortable. The office and rooms are super clean. These people really take their time to provide an outstanding service!!!! Also I was a little late to my appointment I let them k ow ahead of time and they still manage to see me on time. I waited like 10 mins to be seen! I recommend this place to everyone!!! read more

I am very sad to report a change. If you are going here for a standard cleaning, that's cool. But if you have a broken tooth, look elsewhere. I have broken 3 out of 4 of my front teeth, so I'm sad to say, I have a bit of experience with this matter. The dentist that fixed my teeth has retired. My teeth looked completely natural and lasted for at least 7 years. One of the teeth re-broke and I went to Green. First pass - my tooth was visibly shorter than the one next to it and looked very unnatural. It looked Terrible. I asked Dr. K to redo it. He warned me that it would most likely chip if he tried to redo it, but I was embarrassed by how bad it looked and wanted my teeth to be more even. Second pass - tooth felt weird and was still shorter and looked unnatural. And yes, it ended up chipping three days later. It also was clearly a poorly bonded tooth as you can see the lines and bonding. I have since gone to another dentist who took some more time on the tooth and it is now in way better condition. I then asked for my xrays for my records - if your xrays are a few years older, they DO have copies but they need to look in another location for those copies. There was a miscommunication where they only sent me recent ones; they later found the older ones. Double check with your insurance on what your insurance will and won't cover if you are concerned. read more

I absolutely love this dental office they fixed my two cavities and did a root canal which is usually the worst experience but with them they were so gentle I didn't even feel any discomfort. The staff is so friendly and helpful they always answer any questions I have. My last dental office the staff had so much Attitude they were always over booked but with green California dental group I have yet to have an issues I recommend Dr k to literally everyone ! read more

Very clean lovely office! Extremely nice people, very professional! More to come lol My husband needed a root canal and two crowns. This was done in one sitting, painlessly and very professionally. The dentist, Dr. Kerikorian is wonderful, very concerned with his comfort level and the office staff are very helpful and very smart!! read more

Love this dental office, staff is always friendly and accommodating. I never have to wait long to be seen and I trust Dr Kerikorian implicitly, to always provide the best recommendations/services for my needs. read more

I have been coming here for about 6 years however they've really gone downhill as far as servicing their clients. They cancelled my cleaning appointment and rescheduled it for 2 months (!!) later, only to tell me - once I had driven all the way to their office - that the appointment was removed because of something with my insurance. Apparently the insurance was supposed to notify me, however as a private organization they would do well to treat their patients (especially longtime ones) with the basic decency of notifying them when appointments are taken off their books, particularly when clients are driving a ways to get to them. They also couldn't schedule me until the end of August, all because they cancelled my May appointment. Very disappointed. The staff doesn't seem to care. I may give them one more try because I like the dentist here, but if they cancel my appointment one more time, we are done. read more

This is behalf of my 7yrs old son Gregory He (Dr. Kerikorian ) is the best. When he pulled my tooth out it wasn't that much pain.He gave me 4 shots so it didn't hurt. The whole process took him 15 minutes. The pain was gone that night. I love him very much , I wish I could give him 10 starts. read more

Green California Dental Group: Varand Kerikorian, DDS - Gregory 7yrs old - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Burbank, California

Had first visit today. A few things stood out that were really nice and will make me recommend the office. 1. Only minor upselling of services. Most dentists up-sell a ton of other services like antibacterial treatments, whitening, et cetera. It helps them to make money. I get that. This office does that as well, but if you indicate this isn't for you, they happily drop the subject. So that's nice. I never felt like they were pressuring me into anything. 2. Patients' needs come first. I was talking with the doc when, from another room, came the sound of another patient making a distressed noise. Without hesitation and in a moment, the doc and the nearby staff were all quickly and silently attending to that patient to make sure they were ok. That immediate reaction time was impressive to me. I'd like to have them respond that way if I had something urgent happen to me. So.... so far, so good. read more

I highly recommend Green California Dental Group! I have been coming to this office for almost 2 years and everyone is always, prompt, kind and efficient! Most importantly, Dr. Kerikorian is an honest and trustworthy dentist and person. I trust his judgment and he has never steered me wrong. read more

Last Friday I had an emergency and needed to be seen. I went ahead and booked an appointment for that day the night before and called to confirm the morning of. The receptionist was able to get me in earlier than my appointment because she knew I was in pain. Thank you! I've been to Dr.K before, and he has always made me feel comfortable. He checked out my teeth and confirmed that my wisdom teeth needed to be extracted, and wrote me a referral. I want to say the front desk ladies name was Krystal? I'm not too sure, but you were amazing! She got me a same day appointment with the Referred Dental Surgeon and was such a sweetheart. Thanks again guys for all your help! read more

Amazing service! Definitely coming back soon! Big thanks to Ani for the amazing work she did!

I love Dr. K and his staff. I originally came here to get a second opinion, and they quoted me almost $1000 less for the same amount of work as the first place. Thank goodness for Green CA Dental. Also, Dr. K fixed a very minor chip on my front tooth that a previous dentist had tried to fix and failed. read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Kerikorian. He is very kind, knows what he is doing, goes out of his way to help his patience and as an added bonus,he is personable. Today was my 3rd visit to the office and I feel compelled to share my feedback. I first visited the office in mid December and I was in a rush to find an office that would take care of my cracked filling. Although they were booked, the office staff accommodated me knowing that I had discomfort. During my visit, It turned out that I not only had to fix my cracked filling but there was a possibility that I also had to have a root canal done. YIKES. I was very nervous as all of this took place just a few days before I had to take a week long trip. Dr. fixed my cracked tooth and advised that he was going to try to save my 2nd tooth vs. moving forward with a root canal. He did this but explained that there was a 50% chance that it wouldn't work and we may still end up with a tooth canal; that was acceptable to me. I was thankful that he didn't just rush to do a root canal and that he attempted to save my tooth. The next morning I had some discomfort and pain and called the office. Although Dr. Kerikorian was off that day, he came in within 30-40 of my call to examine my tooth. I was very impressed as most doctors wouldn't even bother to do that; most would make you wait or ask you to go to ER if it's really bad. We decided that it wasn't alarming and wanted to give it a few days. During this time, not only did his office call to see how I was doing, but so did the doctor. Again, very impressed. Unfortunately, I ended up having to get a root canal but that didn't come as a complete surprise as he had explained that this would happen. Dr. is very competent, incredibly kind, very efficient, effective and communicative. As for his staff, they too are very professional and they have always tried to accommodate me with my scheduling needs. This is the longest review I have ever written but I think it's important to share the details. read more

I had my first appointment with Dr. K today and it was overall amazing. Every person I encountered and assisted me was extremely kind and welcoming. The treatment I received was great and pretty quick! Thank you Dr. K and thank you to your staff as well! read more

Best Dentist in town! The staff are really nice . I recommend this office to everyone. Thank you Dr.Kerikorian

Patient, beware. Green California Dental Group isn't an honest or good dental practice. This dental office is engaged in blatant upselling and they also use scare tactics in an attempt to get their patients to spend more money on dental work or extras they may, in fact, not need. I visited this office 3 times in 2016, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt several times. My dental insurance has some limitations and this office both lied to me about what was covered and made a point of telling me repeatedly that my insurance wasn't paying them enough for my cleanings. They also attempted to extort money from me for a cleaning they told me would be covered by my insurance. Whether or not this was an innocent office clerk's mistake will remain a mystery, but since I took the time to have them look it up on my dental insurance in my presence, I can honestly say that I didn't make the mistake. Unfortunately, dental upselling and the use of scare tactics to fatten the bottom line isn't restricted to only this office. It appears to be rampant in the dental industry. When I go to the dentist, I have a reasonable expectation that I will be told the truth, dealt with fairly, and not be cheated in any way. When these expectations aren't met, I have no choice but to find a better, more honest dental practice, if one exists. Addendum: 3/13/17 After receiving one phone call and one email from Dr. Kerikorian, D.D.S. Dr. Kerikorian, you receive approximately $13 per month from Delta Dental USA/HMO for a capitation on my behalf of $156 per year. In addition, you receive money from Delta Dental each time you clean my teeth. Every time I visited your office, you made a point of telling me you weren't being paid enough for my cleanings. If this is the case, why have you signed up for Delta Dental? It's not my fault or concern if you feel you aren't being paid enough. I have dental insurance and you accepted it. It isn't my intention to punish you or your office staff with this review. It is my intention to put a stop to the abuse of people such as myself, who through no fault of their own, find themselves with Delta Dental USA/HMO and are victims of scare tactics and attempted overcharging for procedures they may or may not need. Please remember the Hippocratic oath you took to do no harm. Greed should be included in that oath. read more

Best dentist! The staff is also very professional and friendly. I felt very comfortable at my visit and loved the results.

After going to many different offices, I will say this is the best dentist office in Burbank. My family and I are all so pleased to have Dr. K as our dentist. I first took my daughter because I had heard good things about Dr. K then everyone followed in my family. Clean office, professional and friendly staff and dentist. Dr K is very meticulous and caring. Wait time is minimal every time. read more

I have been going to Dr. K now for a few years... and he is the best dentist in town by far. So glad I made the switch when I did. My previous dentist wanted to do a lot of work on my mouth that Dr. K said was unneeded when I went to him for a second opinion. He fixed all my problems with maybe a quarter of the work and a lot lower cost... and kept more of my original teeth than the original doctor was planning on. I am so thankful for Dr. K and his staff for all that they do. Just a friendly, warm and safe environment. They also have a Kurig machine in the lobby. .. great for those early morning appointments read more

Dr. K and the team is one of the best in the business! I've been taking my daughter here and the staff has done a great job making sure she's comfortable and that the work is done right. Even referred some family members about this place and they've had nothing but exceptional reviews. Going to the dentist isn't so bad after all! read more

I absolutely love this place. The employees are very polite, helpful with setting up my appointments, very professional and make you feel safe, like you're in good hands, and that's because you are in good hands, actually great hands. Dr. K has helped me with my horrible anxiety of going to the dentist. Before becoming one of his patients I would avoid the dentist like the plague. I've had pretty horrible experiences at other dentist offices and Dr. K is no where near them. He is amazing!!! Always very caring of his patients, does not rush through your treatments, he's polite, constantly asking if you're ok during treatments and just overall a great professional, a great dentist. I highly recommend his practice to anyone who asks me if I know of a good dentist. The offices are always clean and sterile. You won't regret coming here. read more

I once thought I was one of those people with great teeth. As it turns out, I don't and a combination of my previous dentist (NOT Dr. K/Green California) not catching things and my lack of flossing came to a head this year and I had six cavities, needed a root canal and probably a crown. All in all, my worst dental nightmare and I practically had a breakdown in their office because I'm scared of the dentist on a good day, this news was just unbearable. With that being said, Dr. K and his staff are amazing. When I told them I was a fearful patient and they actually believed me instead of blowing me off like my previous dentist had. They treated me with care in a non condescending way during all my procedures and one of the techs actually held my hand because I was shaking so much. Also, I'm not exactly sure what they do differently but I typically always have pain and a bit of feeling during a filling even with novocaine but Dr. K is the only dentist that I've never experienced this with. For the first time ever, dental work was 100% painless. Even the novocaine shot was not as bad as usual. Again, I don't know why this is the case but it's great! As far as his pricing goes, I can't comment because I have an HMO (Cal Dental) and the pricing is set but even if he wasn't "in network" I would go to him in a heartbeat and pay out of pocket! read more

I love this dentist and their staff they make you feel at home.

The dentist is so calm and collected and made me feel at ease. I will definitely recommend friends and family to go here. read more
