I had a work accident where I broke my front teeth and I got in with Dr. Larijani and he went right to work and made magic happen for temporary teeth so I didn't have to suffer and experience a day without great looking teeth. Following that great treatment and experience, I have gone through the entire process of veneers. Stage make a temporary set of teeth, which many people complimented me on! Stage 2 prepare teeth for veneers, and they were so accommodating and thoughtful of me as the patient during this process. Stage 3 veneers, which they were always so eager to listen and make the necessary adjustments during this process. The veneers look so naturally awesome which is all I cared about. I didn't want them to look fake! They truly went above and beyond to make the teeth look perfect! Dr. Larijani I cannot thank you enough and all of the staff, you guys are so amazing!!! I will continue to come to this office as a forever client!!

Twice, it has happened to me that I tell them I want to make sure everything is paid when I step out the door and I'm not getting anything extra. They say yes everything is paid. Then a few months later I'll get some random bill about the visit. It's a lot of surprise bills after the visit. Never had an experience like this with any other dental place. I gave them more than one shot because they are close to my house and they were nice, but every time I feel oversold afterwards. I've noticed every negative review gets removed.

Don't get me wrong mostly their reviews are negative about finances and billing and insurance but we have to realize that insurance makes you think they cover everything but they don't unfortunately. And if you really want the best for your self than yes we have to pay to get the best Quality work done, just like you would for your car or your house. Anyways I was able to get my stuff taken care of today and I just have to say to their assistant Mariana, thank you for sharing some stories with me, you made my visit more comfortable and enjoyable, believe it or not I am very much terrified of being in the dental office. Dr. Shalaby, thank you for exampling and educating me on what needs to be taken care of. In my experience most dentist just tell you what the treatment will be and get moving on it but some don't take the time to educate or explain and that really showed me how your care for your patients. I recommend this place because if your looking for a cleaner mouth and a welcoming staff and a Dr who is very Conservative and very detailed in his work and that actually care for his patients than this is the place for you. Thank you again everyone.

I had a 3-o'clock appointment but they kept me waiting and waiting; upon appearing, the doctor joked he'd woken me from my nap... after discussing the treatment plan, the doctor mentioned he would not charge me for 'some things' but the the price sheet they handed me showed no credits or discounts of any kind. After the X-rays, when it came to scheduling my appointment, I was told the doctor had no spot available for my treatment for the next 2 weeks and then was leaving for vacation. It was an emergency but they never told me I would not be treated until June when the doctor was back from vacation. What happened to medical ethics??? What happened to honesty? They exposed me to radiation knowing they would not be treating my emergency.

I usually get a lot of anxiety when going to the dentist, but the moment I walked in I was greeted with a warm welcome and felt completely at ease. The entire team was so kind, professional, and attentive. The week before, I had gone to a different office where I felt anxious the entire time and was aggressively pushed into a long list of unnecessary treatments (teeth whitening, fluoride, treatment, antibiotics, and a crown).. so I decided to get a second opinion. In contrast, Dr. Kelly was refreshingly honest and transparent. He explained what he recommended without any pressure, and in the end I only needed one filling redone. He did an amazing job--I no longer have any pain or sensitivity, and I can finally eat comfortably again. What really impressed me was the level of genuine care. After my appointment, Dr. Kelly personally called me once the numbing had worn off just to check in and make sure I was doing well. No other dentist has ever done that for me, and it meant so much. From start to finish, the experience was calm and even relaxing--the AMAZING ocean view from the chair felt more like a spa than a dental office! It's clear this practice truly cares about both their patients and the community, which explains why they've built such a loyal following over the years. I also want to highlight Sandy Barker, who was incredibly kind and checked on me throughout my visit. I'll be recommending this office to my entire family. 10/10, without a doubt!

First off this is a corporate chain, they rotate out/train personal on a high turn around. The…read morecorporate office makes the decisions and takes months for resolution. The insurance company investigated the work with their dental panel and found malpractice done on placement of the crowns. It has been 8 months, and the dental office still hasn't refunded money for the bad dental work. I went in for a schedule appointment for checkup and cleaning. The dental team pushed for crowns to be put in from worn out fillings without doing the scheduled cleaning. After talking me into the crowns, the dentist gave me a temporary crown that were extra thin and lead to holes in the temporary that lead to bacterial infection. The receptionist was not very friendly and laughed about the malpractice after being provided the assessment from the insurance company. Not recommended unless you want a corporate chain and want complications with you your teeth on a training dental crew. Single dentist firms not part of a corporation are a better path.

From the front desk to the hygienist and dental assistants to Dr. East, everyone here is off the chart friendly, helpful, caring and professional. These folks get an A+. As for my prosthetics, they get two separate grades. For aesthetics, they get an A+ as well. I couldn't be happier with the way they look. I now don't hesitate to smile or laugh in public, and I even get the occasional compliment. I do a lot of public speaking and presentations, and my new teeth have really boosted my self-confidence and self-esteem. For functionality, I have to give them a D+. The images they show you of people biting into an apple are really not accurate. I've had mine for two years now and I still struggle to bite through a soft bagel. I knew I would have to alter my diet, which I was happily prepared to do, but I didn't realize eating would forever be challenging, uncomfortable, or a bit painful. I guess if you average the two grades, they do get a 'B,' but I'm on the fence as to whether I'd make the same choice if I had it to do over again.
