DO NOT give this place a chance. The dentist here told me I needed to get a crown for a tooth that was decaying from a cavity. Said that it was so bad it probably would not be able to filled without breaking. They started making plans to do a root canal & scheduled my appts. BUT I went to get a 2nd opinion and my dentist told me my tooth barely had a cavity. They called over another dentist who took a look as well and said the same exact thing. The SMALL cavity was filled within minutes & I canceled all appts with Hancock Park Dental. Had I not gotten second opinions, I would've paid $1.5k at Hancock Park Dental to ruin a perfectly healthy tooth of mine & I would have never known. One year later and the tooth they claimed needed a crown looks & feels perfectly fine. Do NOT even think about going here. read more

The nicest dentist office in town. My very sensitive family member also approved. You truly walk out of there with a proud smile. read more

Came to see Dr Barzivand today for the first time. Great experience. From the X-ray tech to the dental hygienist and then the Dentist himself. Kind and gentle. Doesn't try to oversell. Explains what's necessary vs what can be cosmetic. Looking forward to my next appt. I highly recommend this office! read more

Everyone in this office is so kind. I always enjoy coming. I also love that I'm in and out quickly with a bright smile :)

Had a tooth extracted at Hancock Park Dental and was so nervous. They were so calm, reassuring, and kind throughout the procedure making sure I was numb and comfortable. Happy to say I didn't feel a thing and their team was incredible. Will continue to trust them with my teeth! read more

Dr. Barzivand is, without question, the best dentist I have ever been to. Like many people, the thought of going to the dentist makes me extremely anxious and I'm nervous at every visit. I am also an absolute wuss when it comes to anticipating potential pain. Especially when it comes to dental work--even something as simple as a cleaning. That's all to say that I'm not the easiest patient to manage but Dr. Barzivand not only did such an incredible job with my teeth but also was unbelievably gentle, patient, and kind. I barely felt anything even during the numbing injections and throughout the deep cleaning and multiple fillings. I also did not feel any pain or discomfort the next day. So lucky to have found this dentist. I cannot recommend him highly enough and will not be going to any other dentist. read more

Dr. Barzivand was amazing handling my fiancé's crown especially because it was such a complicated one. Highly recommend him to anyone who needs a crown done. He is cautious, meticulous and caring. He knows how to handle patients with heart issues. He answered ALL my questions and helped ease any hesitations. Even called my fiancé in the evening after placing his temporary crown to make sure he's not bleeding or in any discomfort. The office staff is also very helpful and kind! Can't recommend this doctor enough. Thank you, Dr. Barzivand! read more

Dr Barzivand and his amazing team (special note to Viviana ) changed my life! Not just with the amazing work they did on my teeth that restored my confidence and made my smile again but by making me feel valued and cared of. This is not standard especially in the US where healthcare is mostly a business. I cannot recommend a better place and doctor to trust for results and the overall experience. read more

I'm so glad I found the Hancock Park Dental team! After experiencing dental trauma elsewhere, my visits to Hancock Park Dental have been very healing and allowed me to feel safe at the dentist once again. read more

Every person who works in this office is kind and welcoming. I cannot recommend them enough. I was a long time patient of Dr. Wendt and very sad when he retired, but I'm happy to report Dr. Barzivand is just as gentle and attentive. Not only that, Vivianne at the front desk has stayed, who also makes the office a less scary place to visit, and Sheila is still there as well. Sheila may very well be the best dental hygienist I have ever encountered in my life. If you are a little nervous or scared by dentists visits I highly recommend this office. Just let them know you're uneasy and they will go out of their war to make you comfortable, suggest you listen to music, or reassure you in some other way. A truly great place. read more

Dr B was amazing and super friendly. Also Viviana at the front desk was super sweet. They did a great cleaning and even put on country music for me read more

I've been going to this dentist ever since they took over from Dr Wendt, and I can happily say I'm still very pleased with the entire staff and crew! Super friendly and helpful, I feel like they spend the time to know me, and if I have any issues they are there to help fix the problems. Highly recommend. read more

I love this office. The whole staff is so welcoming and knowledgeable! Our whole family loves it here. Great for kids, too! They also can communicate by text which, during a busy day, really helps. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. B and his staff were so welcoming and nice. They all had a smile on their face when I walked in. I'm new to the area and so happy that I found this as my new dentist in LA. Highly recommend this office to anybody who is searching for a new practice. Big plus: The office is super clean and has a GREAT view of the Hollywood sign and LA mountains, while you're getting that bi-annual check-up or waiting in the lobby. THANK YOU, HANCOCK DENTAL! read more

Nice doctor and assistants! Professional and reliable. Convenient location and clean facility. They answer questions very well.

I used to hate going to the dentist and hadn't gone for years. After going to Dr Wendt I actually enjoy it. Dr. Wendt used to be a surgeon and teaches oral surgery at USC. This shows when your are in the chair. He is so precise with where he places anesthesia that there is no pain while does his work and you don't have tongue or cheek numbness afterward. Even when he did wisdom tooth extractions didn't have to take any pain medication. Not only do you get great technical work, but also a dentist who cares about his work and his patients. The whole staff couldn't be nicer. With Dr. Wendt and his office you get great work, great results, great service, and great prices. -No Pain -Best results -Staff is like that of a 5 star hotel, not like a medical one. BEST DENTIST MOST RECOMMENDED!!! read more

I have a love hate relationship with this office. I LOVE the staff here. everyone is super sweet and I was always comfortable during visits. I had a couple of cavities filled here and everyone was very nice, including dr.wendt himself. my problem here lies with the billing. I have very nice insurance thanks to my husbands job. we get 4 free cleanings a year with this insurance. yet each time I would leave the office, I would be billed, stating some type of exam had gone on and I would need to pay them some type of fee. this always kind of irked me and made ZERO sense, so when I finally decided to get my wisdom teeth out, I took the recommendation from a friend for a new dentist. when I called the new office to set up everything, the receptionist looked into my insurance claims and told me that dr.wendts office hadn't put in once for a cleaning, which is why I was being charged every time! they kept billing each appointment as exams. terrible. so thankful this new office told me how to get my money back from all these unnecessary payments. I understand that people have to make their money, but having me pay for things I'm not receiving is not okay in my book. sorry guys, I super loved you but won't be back. read more

How many dentists do you know that will bend over backwards for you? I only know of one, and that is Dr. Robert Wendt. I have been going to him for years and I have recommended all my friends to go to him. Dr. Wendt is meticulous and very thorough with his patients. He is a passionate, kind and an artistic dentist. I recently cracked my front tooth, and he matched it perfectly with the other teeth. You would never know I had any work done at all! His staff is friendly and kind as well. Rosealee, who will greet you when you arrive, is a cheerful, intelligent, knowledgeable woman who is concerned about you. You will feel her compassion for your concerns and needs regarding your teeth. So believe me, you will be completely satisfied with the results that you will experience with Dr. Wendt and his staff. Enjoy your experience! Mary-Ellen Swietlik read more

I'm very disappointed in Dr. Wendt's office and billing handling. I've recently become a patient at this office, because I had to get a cleaning and clearance for braces. I was told by the doctor who had recommended me that Dr. Wendt would take my insurance, was highly recommended, this doctor had been a patient himself, etc. I went to the office, and I had a long wait period after the scheduled appointment time. I was brought in for a cleaning, and after the process was almost done (by a technician), they sent me back to the waiting room for another half an hour before the doctor would even see me. He barely looked at my teeth, didn't really answer my questions about sensitivity, and told me that I had a pre-cavity, but only after the technician pointed out to him where to look/area of concern. I'm hoping this spot hasn't developed into a cavity since I've got my braces, as dental cleaning and treatment is sure to be more difficult. The thing that worries me the most is that after being told everything would be covered, I got a letter in the mail saying that Dr. Wendt was being 'restricted' by the insurance companies as to what care he could give to his patients, and that my insurance provider didn't want to pay his increasing fees, so he wasn't going to follow his contractual obligations set out with my PPO network. This whole letter basically says that after assuring me that everything was okeydokey regarding insurance coverage, etc., that they were going to start charging me copays and other fees to make up for what the insurance won't pay for. I then received a bill in the mail, for the same cleaning that was completely covered and had been paid for by my insurance. As people with insurance know, the insurance rarely pays the full amount. Dr. Wendt, after his letter, is expecting me to pay the difference, even though there is nothing from the insurance stating that I have any responsibility for any charges. (The breakdown for my insurance payments always shows how much they pay, and if there is a remainder, what is the 'patient's responsibility'--there was none.) So Dr. Wendt has decided that with this letter he wants to get the full payment, even if the insurance has paid for the same procedure/treatment provided. I feel cheated, in that I was promised one thing, and then charged another. Cleanings have always been covered by my insurance. If Dr. Wendt doesn't want to accept that, and their payment, then I feel he shouldn't take any patients with this insurance; it's that simple. I have gone to visit the office, but both times it's closed; my most recent visit (6/3) had them closed by noon when I went to PAY their fees. Their bill requests a check be made out, but offers no other form of payment. It also doesn't provide any description of what I'm paying for, like a statement would. I'm very unsettled with the way this business was handled. I know that Dr. Wendt and his wife were very nice people when I visited them that one and only time. I'm really upset in the way they are handling their business with the insurance companies, and how the difference is somehow the patient's responsibility. I'm not sure I'd like to come back. read more

Moved to L.A. a couple of years ago and was scared to get a new dentist so I kept seeing my old one back home in Seattle whenever I was in town. Was recommended Dr. Wendt by some ex-coworkers who all go to him. They said he's totally gonna remind you of Mr. Magoo but don't be scared, he's really good. So I'm thinking I'm going to a blind bumbling dentist, that's comforting haha. The first thing you notice is a wall of "celeb" clients who all seem to have nice teeth so that's a good sign :) He is a sweet man, squinty eyed and chatty, like one of the characters in that old cartoon Twas the Night Before Christmas. I started laughing to myself immediately, Mr. Magoo indeed! He's wonderful, he totally puts you at ease. It's a small office so they only take a couple people at a time so the focus is on you. They've got top of the line equipment, there's even a little video screen where they show you what they're working on in your mouth. Insurance covered my cleaning and I just had a nominal co-pay for the visit. Had a filling changed another time, no pain, easy in and easy out. Parking's easy, it's just under the building. You have to pay but it's not a lot, I think I usually leave there out $2 or so. read more

I have dentist anxiety, due to painful gumline issues, so even a simple cleaning brings on the sweats. Since 2000, I've probably been to 20 or so dentists in the area, and saw Dr. Wendt for the first time last year on recommendation by one of his patients. If he ever retires, I'm screwed. To start, the office is convenient. Parking lot for a small fee is available, but I save money by parking on the street and walking a 1/2 block. The office is clean, has a great view and the staff is AMAZING! Love Rosalee - she should win an award for running an office. Remarkable, kind, cool woman. Both assistants rock and are personable, efficient and professional. I don't necessarily get the Mr. Magoo comparison. I find Dr. Wendt to be so passionate and excitable about his profession, it's sometimes shocking. He loves his work, is always on the cutting edge, and LOVES to inform his patient (he's a professor, as well) which I really appreciate. He'll take as much time as necessary to help you to understand the situation, and all options available. I've had cleanings, refillings, a retainer and a few other minor procedures now, and I trust Dr. Wendt and his staff completely. No pain, no drama, great results, great people. read more

Dr. Von Wendt is one in a million. I found him through my insurance company a few years ago and he is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. Luckily, he takes my new insurance as well - although I doubt that would have made a difference. A great dentist is hard to come by, and certainly worth the money should you have to pay any. I just chipped my tooth at lunch and his darling wife (and nicest woman on the planet) Rosalie arranged for me to meet them after hours to fix it. They also have a very sweet new receptionist, and their hygenist (her name starts with a V, I think. I can't remember...) is so kind and she never forgets a patient. Dr. Wendt always lets you know exactly what's going on, exactly what he's doing to your teeth, and I've never been upsold on a single thing. If he feels like you only need a few xrays, he's not going to pressure you into a full mouth of them. He's just a good guy. I always leave with a big smile on my face and a greater appreciation of classical music (it's on heavy rotation in the office). BONUS - the office is a quick bike ride from my apartment. Again, not like that makes a difference. I'd drive 20 miles to go to this office. Love, love, love. read more

I have always hated the Dentist until I came to Dr. Von Wendt. From the minute I walked in the door I felt comfortable!!!! Everyone is very professional, and let's just put it this way Dr. Von Wendt performed a miracle by saving a tooth that I thought was GONE!!! Mrs. Von Wendt also went above and beyond out of her way to help me with all my insurance issues and working everything out. They have a customer for life, I would recommend them to anyone with the upmost trust! read more

I can't tell you how elated I am to have found such a wonderful dentist and team at Hancock Park Dental... Dr. Barzivand goes above and beyond. Not only is his work meticulous, but his mannerism is reassuring, confident and caring. I recently had a tooth extraction procedure performed by his surgeon Dr. Farivar. I was quite apprehensive, nervous and extremely emotional about the procedure. Dr. Barzivand and Dr. Farivar gave me a full explanation of what was entailed and made me feel completely at ease. The procedure went so well.. I was so delighted that I cried with joy. The nurse, Jessica let me hold on to her arm as Dr. Farivar went to work on the procedure. She was kind, caring and a reassuring voice. That evening, the doctor called me to make sure I was ok. The following day, I received a call from the nurse also to check on my healing. And on top of that, amazing Viviana, who is the receptionist, also checked in on me! You are in the best of hands with these doctors and staff. Look no further read more

Courteous, communicative and professional. They made the visit comfortable, answered all my questions, and were transparent about procedure options and cost. Best dentist I've found in L.A. read more

Needed a new dentist after mine retired and I wasn't feelin' it with the new guy. A friend recommended Hancock Park Dental, and I couldn't be happier. Everyone in this office is spectacular, from Jessica the hygienist to Viviana at the front desk who is super helpful and attentive. And Dr. Barzivand (Dr. B.) is the best! Such a perfectionist. I had to get two crowns in the back of my mouth, major work, I was anxious. But he got me through with care, attention to detail and humor, and now they look and feel amazing. A great experience, highly reco. read more

I always feared going to the dentist till I started going to Dr. Barzivand. Very professional, honest, and thorough in his work. Facility is always clean, up to date technology, and the staff is super friendly. It's been a long time since I've gone to a dentist that I can trust. Highly reccomend! read more

Great experience at this office! Everyone was so kind and made me feel very comfortable during my visit. Highly recommend this place!

This man is the best dentist I've ever had. He never tried to talk me into anything I didn't need and works within my budget and what I actually needed dental work on. He is the best. I almost don't want to write this review because I don't want him to be overbooked read more

Everyone is absolutely wonderful! I have been happy going here for over 10 years, def recommend to anyone looking for a great dentist, hygienists, and staff! read more

If I could give 100 stars to Dr. Robert vonWendt, I would!!! He is absolutely AMAZING!!! He is soooo gentle and is an incredible perfectionist, taking his time to make sure I get the BEST quality dental work I could ever hope for!!! He explains everything to me and makes drawings and shows models of teeth and uses a fabulous camera so I can see exactly what issues I have and how he can fix them. And his assistant is really super sweet and efficient. If he ever retires, I just don't know what I'll do! I never want to go to any other dentist. Ever!!! And the staff is unbelievably fantastic! I really didn't understand my insurance and they explained it to me completely. So I just don't get those couple of people who had billing issues. They must be totally lame and stupid cause this office is totally upfront with their billing. No surprises, everything explained and clear cut. Dr. Robert vonWendt is the very BEST DENTIST I have ever gone to. I wouldn't go anywhere else, even if they paid me! read more
