Dr. J. is the best dentist. For my entire life, I was terrified of going to the dentist--it was always the most dreadful experience until I met him. I've been his patient for many years now. He's super attentive to his patients and never forgets to check in with you during any procedure to make sure you're not feeling any discomfort. But mainly, he's unbelievably fast and absolutely on top of his trade. I've referred so many people to him, and every single one has expressed their gratitude for the referral. I no longer have any fear of the dentist. I never thought I would say that, but I'm actually looking forward to my appointments! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dr. J. You're the best, and so is your entire office staff--especially Claudia, who's been a loyal part of your team for many years. read more

This place is a complete mess. The office is dark, outdated, and immediately gives off a lack of professionalism. They start by handing you an unnecessarily long intake form asking for excessive personal information, which already feels like a red flag. Then it gets worse. I was brought in, showed the dentist the issue (a broken filling), and he casually tells me he can fix it - just not today - because their drill isn't working. No call ahead. No warning. Nothing. They knew their equipment was down and still had me come in anyway. That's inexcusable and a complete waste of my time - I had to leave work early, drove all the way over, and rearranged my schedule for an appointment they had no ability to fulfill. On top of that, the dentist was rushed, mumbling, hard to understand, and more focused on making jokes than clearly explaining what was going on. Basic communication was lacking, and the only important information - that no treatment would happen - came far too late. I will never go back. I would strongly advise others to avoid this place. read more

I got an appointment on their website. When I got there, there was a note on the door they are closed for two weeks due to an emergency

Dr. Jason Mirabile is a fantastic dentist. He is secretly truly brilliant. I am so pleased with my results of my new veneers. I am looking forward to doing the bottoms next. Office experience is great, because of Claudia and so is Joe. This is a busy office, but it is worth the wait. read more

I Hate The Dentist - After - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

See all

This was one of the worst dental experiences I've ever had. I made an appointment two weeks in advance, clearly explaining that I had tooth pain and needed a filling. I waited in pain for two weeks, expecting real treatment. I confirmed the appointment several times, even called while on my way from Hollywood. I said I might be 10 minutes late, and was told that was fine. I arrived at 2:08 PM, was seated in the chair--and then told: "The doctor already left." No warning. No call. Nothing. I was shocked. The manager admitted it was their mistake -- the person who booked me didn't mark it as a treatment visit. Meanwhile, the doctor and staff just left in the middle of the day. Unacceptable. To make things worse, the clinic's equipment is completely outdated. Old machines, worn-out chairs -- the whole place feels stuck in the '90s. If I lose my tooth because of this delay, I'll seriously consider legal action. This was more than a miscommunication -- it was negligence. Their name says it all: I Hate Dentists. After this, I really do. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

This place is not clean. How can I trust a dentist who has a mess everywhere. The care is subpar. Your teeth cleaning will be a joke. Just go elsewhere. When you make an appointment there is a chance they will cancel you at the last minute--guess they are tired. The staff is confused and does not keep up with appointments or call backs. If you insist on trying them get nothing done but a cleaning--which you will regret. Do not let them do anything like a root cancel or a crown. Just don't go there. read more

...and to top it off, the work that he did in three separate places had to be redone.

Terrible!! He does not care about his constantly labs mess-up's and doesn't like to hear it.

Yo, so I'm in a lot of pain. But yet I'm smiling at myself in the mirror! Oh yes , Dr Jason ..... "You the man" Ladies of Santa Monica I'll be in a yoga class near you to show you my smile #WestSide / You guys better book your appointment! See Lilly at the desk , she's waiting I'll post a photo when I get a haircut and my skin cleaned. read more

I love Dr. J and his staff! They're always so fun and friendly, and he makes sure our teeth are taken care of! My son doesn't hate going to the dentist, which is a thing I never thought I'd say. read more

Don't go there. This is the worst place. I regret so much that I decided to deal with them. From the very first visit I didn't like the mess there and their approach. Doctor barely paid attention to me, did some 5-minute cleaning on the run. When I asked if I need a deep cleaning, he said I didn't need it (despite my last cleaning took place more than a year before). I came for the crown and after they did the x-rays they set an appointment in six weeks and were suppose to send a request to insurance. In less than 24h before the appointment, I got a text with cancellation saying that they did not received an authorization. I immediately called the insurance and was told that they never received any requests. I just waited six weeks and they just didn't request anything. Now they don't answer calls and sent text offering me to pay out of pocket. I will file a complain and hope they loose their access to patients from the insurance read more

If you need a dentist, this is Hands down the best dentist in town. I love these guys. Dr Mirable is a fast talking straight shooter and his staff is friendly and the energy there is just pleasant all around. They get you in and out so you can get the hell out of dentist hating phobias. My daughter ran out of there actually joyful! She said "Mom! I LOVE this guy! I said I know he's the best!" She continued... "Pros and Cons: CONS: None. PROS: He's fast, he's smart, he's funny, he doesn't scare me, and the best part is Nothing Hurt!!" I said I know! I don't know how he numbs you with a needle in a way that even that doesn't hurt. All doctors of the world ... take lessons! Dr Mirable is THE MAN! My fam for life read more

I used to love Dr Jason but he seems to have gotten new staff that are illprepared. They took forever to schedule me for a cleaning and then once they did and confirmed it they called at the last minute, didn't leave a message and i went all the way down to the appointment only to find out they had left early for the day. Obviously they wanted to get away early for the Labour Day weekend but they never bothered to properly cancel me so i went all the way to santa monica only to find them closed. That really sucked and i left them a message and they still havent called to reschedule and apologize. I think Dr Jason needs a better staff, which is disappointing because i used to really like him. read more

I took my mother to this dentist for a root canal. She recently had to get it retreated. The endodontist wasn't sure what they used to fill the root and wasn't able to retreat. My mother will have to get the tooth extracted. Don't go to this dentist. Not worth the multiple dentists to fix the work they did wrong. read more

Amazing DrJ has made my fearing the Dentist into a pleasure. I cannot tell you how professional Dr J and his staff are. read more

I write this review for patients in need of treatment. Please choose your dentist wisely. The environment, the workers, and the dentist all should play apart in your decision making. I did not come here for treatment, I already have a brilliant dentist who takes time for each and every one of his patients including me. What brought me to this location was an interview. I should have known I was in for one hell of ride when I was looking for parking when - BAM! got hit by a car who didn't see me from behind. But I thought to myself that it was fine I couldn't pass up a job opportunity that stated pay was $23-$27 an hour and the schedule was 10am-4pm. It all sounded perfect to me. So I continued with the day and walked to the building. Once I entered there was about two - three patients standing outside and the small visitor room was squeezed with patients. I thought to myself wow this Dr. Is great everyone wants to see him. And although that might be the case, I think there might be another reason as to that. When I got there it was about 10:20, the Dr. wasn't there. And I started being shown where everything was. I am an experienced dental assistant. Been in this field for 4 years. So I know the procedures and protocols on the back of my hand. I am use to being in small work places and this was yet another. Which is completely fine there was 4 rooms, the doctors office, and another room that was sort of like a hallway that worked both as an impression room and break room. The doctor finally made it in. And there was already patients filled in every room. I was told to follow him into the rooms and just be there for him as any dental assistant would. I seen the way he treated his patients he was very communicative but he was quick. Quick in the way you didn't want your own dentist taking care of your own teeth to be quick. You want them to be efficient but you also want them to be attentive. The Dr lacked that quality I felt wrong being there. I understand his work hours are short so he needs to squeeze as much patients as he can but what does that tell you? Why can't he extend his hours like other dental practices and give more of his time to each and every one of his patients that really bugged me. What also raised an alarm was that I'm not certified and it was my first day as a work interview! And he put me on patients to do cleanings -- he reassured me that if I wasn't comfortable doing it I didn't have to but it is the fact that he gave me that task as someone who he knew wasn't certified. I found that a bit sketch. Usually dental hygienist do the cleaning or the Dr. Before that I did see him do a cleaning, and it was just so quick. I have seen a proper cleaning before and this wasn't it. So I am sorry for those patients who consider him a trustworthy Dr. I feel he might be ripping you off. Kudos to you if you like his fast work and the way treats your teeth. But you can do better. Don't settle! I am not a patient but I seen the behind the scenes and felt the right thing to do was warn others. read more

The tools and their rack were not just dirty, but obviously hadn't been properly cleaned down in quite a while. The part of the X-Ray apparatus that goes in the mouth wasn't sterilized (or even wiped down) either before or after the process. The lead apron was torn and tattered in places. I noticed these things after X-Rays, while waiting endlessly for the dentist to come in...while hearing off-color jokes and laughter continually in the hallway. In general, I'm pretty open minded and not particularly fastidious, but after noticing these things, I left without completing the exam or cleaning. I was appalled, and I hope I don't get sick. It was the worst, least professional medical office I've ever been in. But, they're pretty nice people..... BEWARE. read more

Time for me to find a new dentist. After explaining to the staff like five times that I was a high-risk patient, this office took zero safety precautions. They had several people crowded into a very small office. No questions, no temp checks, and one of the staff had their mask under their nose. The dentist came in without a mask and didn't put one on until I asked. During the cleaning his mask was down under his nose and since I was literally in the chair with tools in my mouth I couldn't exactly leave. And he was sniffling. I'm trying to tell myself there were probably bad pollen counts in Santa Monica because otherwise I'm going to freak out. Also, the UCLA hospital is doing mobile covid-19 testing right outside this building, with several people sitting on the steps you have to walk down to exit. My teeth are nice and clean but the utter disregard for pandemic safety is enough to make me walk away. read more

Unfortunately I have to downgrade my review after my experience today. I made an appointment for my 16 year old for 1pm, to get a filling. We arrived in time and were told to wait. At 1:15pm I asked the receptionist for an estimate of how late things were running. She said that this was the weekend their orthodontist was in the office so all of the rooms were being used. I asked for an estimate for how long it would take for one of the rooms to come free. She said thirty minutes, without an even a hint of an apologetic tone. I said I would need to reschedule. She said fine. I asked if it was possible that a new new appointment might also entail a long wait. She said it just depends on the day. Dr. Mirabile chimed in and said somewhat dismissively that the wait wouldn't be long but that i could always reschedule. The key point was that they acted as if I were being unreasonable to expect that my daughter's scheduled appointment would take place on time, as opposed to 40 minutes late. Rather than apologize for their lateness, they dismissed me, saying I could reschedule, as if that were not a significant waste of my family's time. The whole thing was unprofessional, and my daughter and I just walked out. read more

staff slow and rude my appointment was at 10:00am, I arrived at 9:46am, is 10:54am and nob has received any paciente since I arriced, I can see the doctors talking and wal around the offic, the front desk assistant obviously is new, because she is still learn how works the system, but at this point the waiting room is full and nobody inside working unfortunately this is every time that I visit this office Obviously I will look for other doctors in the area read more

I visited the office twice, sat for over an hour with an appointment and was never seen. The final straw was when I showed up at opening time, sat for an hour and was informed that the dentist was still not in. This place is overcrowded and unprofessional. I'm looking for a new dentist. read more

Another PERFECT experience at I Hate the Dentist. Dr. Jason Mirabile and his staff are just the BEST! They are all so kind and make the whole experience as great as possible. Dr. Jason Mirabile is just so positive and has the best energy. He's also so knowledgeable. It's the best experience one can have at the dentist. There's never a wait more than a few minutes and you're in and out never spending hours there like other doctors/appointments. I can't recommend him and his staff enough! Bonus- they are kid friendly too. read more

The worst dentist i've ever been to. I took my mom there earlier today who is already scared of dentists to the point she sits there shaking and this was the worst place to take her. First the dentist was incredibly unprofessional talking about women in bikinis and swearing all the time and eating chocolate above my mom's face and not washing his hands after. Second he was so incredibly rough and impatient, he put numbing cream on her gums and didn't even wait for the numbing cream to work and injected her gums twice when she was groaning in pain and shaking uncontrollably and her eyes were watering and she's obviously in pain and he laughed it off then he came back to remove the tooth and she flinched and tried moving away so he numbed her more with the same needle he used the first time. the tooth removal was again painful for her but we managed to get it done. DO NOT EVER GO HERE!!! read more

They had me at the name Today was my first time in to see Dr. Jason. I was impressed before even coming because for like the first time in history I received a 6 minute website appointment reply via email from the very efficient "Amber" the office manager. When does that ever happen? On a Saturday? Answer: NEVER. The front desk handled me right away and both the Dr and his assistant acknowledged me. It's such a cool place. Next, my exam consisted of state of the art digital X-Rays which flashed on a big TV screen in front of me. Then, Dr. J examined me and listened to all my issues and then explained in detail his treatment options. He spent a lot of time with me. Lastly, I received a very thorough teeth cleaning. The dental tech gave me the TV remote to turn on anything I wanted and I chose music. This was the first time ever that I wasn't holding on to the arms of the chair sweating in Anxiety. For me that is a major occurrence. Finally, after just a brief wait the front desk manager presented me with a treatment plan and fee schedule for the cosmetic work I'm interested in having. I left elated with squeaky clean teeth and the prospects of finally having this work done. What a great experience. Dr. J by far is one of the coolest, most personable doctors I've ever seen. I'm looking forward to returning. *Update* I'm back on a wisdom tooth issue and Dr. Jason is sending me to a top oral surgeon because he feels my issue may involve nerves and he wants to be sure. I knew I'd get this type of care and honesty not some know it all. As always I received my appointment promptly and efficiently complete with Texts and reminders. Best system and best office ever. read more

I Hate The Dentist - They totally had me at the name. - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

A fool, I trusted this man, whom I will NOT regard as a Doctor. Observing the level of "hustle" I should have left, but, sadly, I stayed. He removed three teeth, he called necessary(too late, I returned to my dentist of twenty years, in his opinion they all should have been saved). Insult to injury, he started a root canal but left it open/uncompleted, billed Medicare and sent me on my way. I left a message to have him call me to discuss all this, no response. And So It Goes... read more

If you come here because you are a denti-cal patient -- forget it! Jason Mirabile will assure you that he will take care of all your dental needs. He's a fast and loud talker while scurrying around the office, cracking jokes and one-liners -- but I was never treated by him. Why? Because his office is incompetent at submitting the preauthorization forms to denti-cal properly filled in. You know how long it takes to obtain denti-cal's preapproval for ANY treatment? 4 weeks or more. His first preauthorization request for me was denied, because the office did not fill in the form properly. The second request was also denied because of his office's incompetence. The whole ordeal cost me 2 months of waiting -- for NOTHING! TERRIBLE. read more

What a guy! Had my first appointment with him today, and it was fantastic. Honest, charismatic, and efficient. Doesn't throw nonsense your way just to make a buck, gives you the real deal. I actually DON'T hate the dentist now, go figure. read more

On top of the additional dental expenditures already mentioned, I now have to add the cost of a crown, to safeguard the upper molar which recently underwent a PROFESSIONAL root canal by a much lauded endodontist, Dr. Bustamante in Brentwood. That crown will cost $1400, to finally protect the tooth Mirabile broke during a botched root canal of the adjacent tooth. Read the other comment(s) about how he no longer wears protective gear and jokes about it. He is out of his mind and does not deserve to be a dentist. read more

Jason is amazing!! Best by far. To make you feel comfortable! Highly recommended! They're funny, great energy, relaxing, and overall by far the most fun I've ever had at the dentist. The complete Staff is amazing! Alvaro Orlando read more

I was at a Super bowl event and was eating chicken and all of a sudden my tooth cracked and I was so embarrassed. Age really catches up with you. I reached out to Dr. Mirabile, who took xrays and told me I would need a root canal. To my amazement, after the procedure, I felt absolutely no pain at all. Dr Mirabile is a truly remarkable dentist. He has all the things that one looks for in a dentist, USC educated, been in practice for many years but most importantly, Dr Mirabile has the intangibles! He truly cares for the well-being of his patients and takes the Hippocratic oath very seriously. Dr Mirabiles team of Dental assistants are all top knotch and I rate them very highly. Dr Mirabiles customer service team are also wonderful. For anyone who lives within a 200 mile radius of Santa Monica, I encourage you to make the drive and visit him. For me, pain-free dentistry is where its at and that is the service that Dr Mirabile provides. Dr Mirabile is the Kobe Bryant and Tom Brady of his craft. Many thanks Dr Mirabile! read more

The staff is very nice and the tech who cleaned my teeth did a good job. However the dentist, Dr. Miribile, was not wearing his mask correctly: his mask hung down past his nose, so he was potentially breathing into my mouth, which made me uncomfortable. My temperature wasn't taken when I entered. I didn't notice any covid precautions being taken. In addition, he barely glanced at my teeth and took no exrays- just had me open my mouth, he looked for less than 15 seconds and said all was well. Maybe he is so expierenced that's all he needs, but it feels like they wanted me out as fast as possible. read more

Dr. Mirabile is a pro at what he does. Accommodating, friendly helpful. My only constructive criticism goes to those who are working under his supervision. This is Constructive Criticism ONLY, and is not intended to be read as complaint or exploit about the company. 1. I plan to keep my wisdom teeth, and where I visited the dentist previously, they could get the wisdom teeth in the X Rays on the first try. The dental workers at this location did not get it on the first try and there were retakes, without success. At the other location I visited the student dental workers could get the X Rays of the wisdom teeth on the first try. Dr. Mirable did step in and did photographic checks on my teeth when I felt concerned, so no problem there. 2. When your teeth are cleaned, ask them (Dr. Mirabile is not involved in this part of the dental visit, at least in my experience) to be extra gentle, or say you have sensitive teeth. On first try the speed was too fast, and too often I felt jabbed by the tool that was cleaning the teeth. Next time I said I had sensitive teeth, and the experience was easier, and generally more positive. Dr. Mirabile has an all around positive, professional approach. I'm not your average client either. I keep my teeth cleaner than most and kept my teeth cavity free for years at a time. For clients who hate the dentist, I think I Hate The Dentist does a good job! For clients who like the dentist, like my self, it's easier to look for things to improve. Remember, it's constructive criticism, otherwise I would be giving one, two, or three stars, and I'd be telling people to avoid it. Thanks Dr. Mirabile! read more

AVOID going to this office if you actually want to go to someone that cares about you and your health! Initially was excited to find a dentist that seemed to care and understand that going to dentist can be stressful simply by the name of his website and by one rec but it is obvious that this Dentist Jason Mirabile, DDS AND his staff actually care about YOUR HEALTH Nor your SAFETY. Despite the whole building showing the requirement of masks requiring MASKS and the fact that that the County of Los Angeles requires masks to be worn in healthcare settings when I walked into the office not a mask to be seen and was told that they were optional and they didn't have to The staff didn't seem to care that they made me feel uncomfortable or that they wasted my time. I wanted to confirm it wasn't just the front office staff so waited to talk to the dentist but got confirmation from his as we. This dentist was arrogant and smug about it as well. AVOID HIM I wish I had come to Yelp earlier or I would have seen the earlier review showing that apparently he is also an anti-vaxxer. Glad there are lots of options in Santa Monica and in Los Angeles in General . Hopefully he will be fined by the Department of health. WE are still in a Pandemic. #CovidIsNotOver read more

Really liked this dentist. Super friendly and makes me laugh! Most importantly, he does a great job on the pearlies!

my experience for years was good until recently. wit times have become outrageous, and I don't live close at all. I've come into the office now twice to encounter a billing problem that should have been previously discussed before I came to my visit. one visit I was unaware my insurance had expired and the receptionist who booked my appointment failed to tell me until I got here and ready to go into my room and they give me a surprise bill . claudia the office manager didn't care that no one hadnt disclosed the information and just stared at me waiting for payment . Today I come in because my crown came completely off which it has in the past and miracle had me come in pop it back on and out the door I went . Today however claudia comes and says it'll be $100 , now when I called and told them what had happened that should have been disclosed at that time instead of allowing me to come all the way here to surprise me with a bill. She wanted to over talk me and continue to interrupt me when I was explaining no one said anything about about payment as miracle has put my crown back on with no payment involved before. read more
