I have put off coming to the dentist for the longest time out of fear of finding a bad one. I feel lit's something a lot of people do, but wow did I get lucky with this one. They kind lady at the front desk was so polite and helped me with my insurance details. (Im a brit and still getting used to all of this). Then I met Dr. Hakimi who treated me, along with the other dentist, as if I had been coming to the practice for years and years. The cleaning was detailed and efficient and the place was also spotless. They also helped me book an appointment with a Orthondist that they spoke very highly - saving me even more time. I left there feeling as if it were my childhood dentistry. Anyone thinking about visiting - I wouldn't think twice. Thank you!!! read more

I've seen many dentists in my lifetime, and I'm not someone who usually writes reviews, but I feel I should share my experience with Dr. Joseph Hakimi. From the moment I scheduled my appointment and spoke with Shohreh at the front desk--who is very  professional and kind--to meeting Dr. Hakimi himself, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Hakimi is polite, patience, highly skilled, and genuinely focused on your care rather than just billing your insurance. With all the dental problems I had and the many calls I had to make to his office, it was amazing how patience and respectful he was. The whole experience gave me peace of mind and the confidence that I was in the right hands. I can truly say he will be my dentist for life. We need more dentists like Dr. Hakimi in this world. read more

Dentist Mr. Hakimi is very knowledgable and kind. I am always grateful for his kindness to me, my wife and my son. I am also very grateful for the efforts of Dr. Azita, who always owes the beauty of our teeth to her. I am also grateful to Mrs. Shohreh, who always greets the clients with kindness. And I am also grateful to Mrs. Kereshmeh, who is very polite and knowledgeable. read more

Ive never ever written a review for a medical or dentistry establishment but I felt compelled to write one for Dr Hakimi. Van Nuys is neither a destination i frequent nor would venture out for any reason. At the request of a friend several years ago, who basically said "what do you have to lose by going once?" I made the trek to Van Nuys Ville. The area is what I would expect of Van Nuys and there is a small parking lot behind. The first time I went there, I began to question my friend's recommendation and maybe even question their standards? But, that question of doubt, washed away when you walk into the office. It's one of those Norman Rockwell places you envision when going to see the doctor! This is the CLASSIC mom & pop store which have slowly disappeared from the Los Angeles scenery. The office is modern and clean. From Sherry's endearing voice at the front desk, to the meticulous work Azita (dentist's wife) who is the main dental hygienist and to Dr Hakimi himself. As a child, I had frequented so many unscrupulous dentists "who found a cavity at every instance". Not Dr Hakimi, over the years, I had so many occasions where I had significant tooth pain, that I felt, surely now I have a cavity. But Dr Hakimi never faltered. He would say, I "promise you this is not a cavity" when I was so sure that I HAD one. At so many instances, the man could have made tons of money off of me. Finally after several years, I went in for a chipped tooth, and I saw the professor at his craft. In an hour, I walked away with a perfect tooth. This office has so much integrity, compassion and care. In a world of quick profits, I have been humbled by the honesty and integrity of this office. Offices like this don't exist anymore. If you like the old mom and pop stores, and don't mind the trek this place should be on your list. read more

Dr Hakimi and his team are truly the best you can find. Going to the dentist is not my favorite thing to do but I know I'm in good hands with Dr Hakimi and his team. They always make me feel comfortable, and more importantly I'm confident that they have my best interest in mind. In my experience, he takes the time fully go over my dental health, and provide several options on how to improve my teeth -- and all this is done in a professional and positive manner. By far the best dentist, and dental experience! read more

A very kind and friendly dentist office. I have visited them for multiple cleanings and it is always fast and efficient. Employees are very kind, friendly, and remember you whether it's your first visit or you're coming back over and over again. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the office inside is very well kept and the people are great. I would absolutely recommend this place if you're looking for a dentist in the valley. read more

I have been searching for a good dentist for a long time. The last good dentist I had was in childhood and their clinic moved away. I have suffered through over a decade of shady dentists that just want to sell unnecessary procedures to you. Mind you, I have healthy teeth and never even had a cavity in my life. Dr. Hakimi is a breath of fresh air! Today was my first visit to his office for semi- annual exam, X-rays and cleaning. My boyfriend and mom have been coming here and both had rave reviews. First of all, plenty of parking in the back. Walking into the clinic felt great. Very clean, modern, and bright space. I was checked in and taken to get started a few minutes before my appointment time which was great. They did thorough X-rays and an amazing cleaning. I have not had that good of a cleaning for many years and it was just a standard appointment. I felt so clean and fresh afterwards. Absolutely detailed job. Thank you to my hygienist!! The doctor was also extremely kind, funny and knowledgeable. He and the hygienist gave me many tips on my sensitive teeth and did not try to upsell at all. It feels good to finally have a dentist that just wants to help you and keep you healthy. I know that I will never have to worry about shady dentist antics here. I will for sure be coming here moving forward and already started recommending them to my friends and coworkers. read more

Very good teeth cleaning and care. Wonderful staff too! very friendly and welcoming. My usual spot since 2012, cannot recommend enough

This review barely scratches the surface, pay him a visit and see for yourself. read more

After avoiding the dentist for some time, I started feeling pain when chewing on my left molar side. Yikes! I was recommended Dr. Hakimi by a close friend. With some hesitation, that comes with a whole adult lifetime of being traumatized by the dentist, I decided to give Dr. Hakimi a try. I cannot stress enough what an AMAZING EXPERIENCE this was! I am literally shocked that a DENTAL visit can be so pleasant. From the moment I walked in, Sherri was super sweet and made me feel so comfortable and welcomed. Dr. Hakimi was so gentle and attentive. He truly cares about his work and it is no wonder he has a 5 star rating. I would give him 10 stars if possible! I will recommend Dr. Hakimi to everyone I know and I will no longer be pushing off my regular dental appointments. Thank you Dr. Hakimi! read more

I have referred to many dentists is Los Angeles area but NONE are like Dr. Hakimi. He is an honest individual, extremely professional and knowledgeable. His staff are beyond good and are courteous. The office manager Shoreh is very caring and professional. Others have quoted me thousands of dollars for the dental work I didn't need but Dr. Hakimi is totally different. Please just try him once to find out for yourself. They have an implacable patient care and service. I am very happy to be his patient and satisfied with my dental work. I was in his office earlier today. Words can not express my satisfaction of his work. read more

Joseph is the most thorough and skilled dentist. Would highly recommend him. Azita is amazing for cleanings and deep cleanings. When I started going to them 2+ years ago, my gums were not in the best condition due to my prior dentist. Now 2 years later, my gums have healed and repaired due to proper and routine cleaning by these amazing people. They are also so kind and knowledgeable. read more

They did an excellent job cleaning my teeth. The service at the front desk was amazing as well. I highly recommend going here.

I came to Dr Hakimi because I was having terrible tooth aches. It turn out I had to have a wisdom tooth pulled out. We took X Rays and he called the Oral Surgeons office and took care of everything so I could be seen a few hours later. They made a painful process very easy and I'll be back in a few weeks for my cleaning. The Dental Hygienist, Azita was especially helpful and very sweet. There is parking in the back, and the office is a hidden gem, it's really nice inside. Definitely recommend read more

Dr. Hakimi is the best dentist I've been to since I was a child. I have been struggling for years to find a reliable dentist that doesn't try to scam you for all sorts of procedures. Dr. Hakimi's service was incredible -- he tells you exactly what you need and doesn't try to upsell you. His staff and team are also very supportive. I recently went in for a procedure and was quite nervous, and his entire staff came to check on me and give me support. It has truly been a long time since I've felt comfortable going to a dentist, but I now recommend his team everywhere I go. read more

Dr. Joseph Hakimi and Azita are the best. After previous experiences at other places and many frustrations I started seeing Dr.Hakimi per my family's recommendation last year. He changed my perspective about dentistry, to say the least. His professionalism and welcoming behavior set the bar high for all others in the industry. I have done dental procedures there today and witnessed how meticulously they monitor the hygiene to minimize the risk of Covid 19 pandemic for patients. read more

BEST DENTIST In town! The kindest, most professional people work here. The receptionist Shohreh greets you with endless warmth. Azita, the hygienist is the sweetest! Her smile lights up the room! Both Azita and Dr. Hakimi are knowledgeable but most importantly, they are honest & gentle. They are aware of how a patient responds to their work while at the office. I had a terrible past experience with a different dentist that honestly left me quite traumatized but now I actually look forward to coming to the dentist! They will take care of you like family. I've had cavities filled, fillings changed and cleanings- all in great hands. They kept encouraging me to get Invisalign, for years I kept making excuses. I finally did it was the best decision i made. I can't thank them enough for their motivation and care for my well-being. They are truly AMAZING! read more

This is a great place to go take care of your teeth. The team was very professional examining and providing with solutions by priority. I had to do teeth cleaning and (DN) did a great job, I felt that I was in good hands. All the people here were very gentle and kind to me read more

Shohreh is rude and worst front office lady on the planet . we called to get an appt . She was so rude and asked us why we are not going back to our last dentist. She purposely didnt give us a appt . read more

This is a wonderful dentist's office! My family and I have been coming here for my entire life, and I will continue to come for as long as I can. My experience is always pleasant and time efficient. They are very good at explaining what they are doing during a appointment, why it's beneficial, and how I can maximize my dental health between appointments without overwhelming me with information. On the handful of occasions when I had to get fillings for cavities, they have been very thoughtful about pain and how they can make the procedure as painless and quick as possible. I highly recommend this dentist!! read more

I have been going to Dr. Joseph Hakim for over 2 years. I don't know any doctor as professional, kind, patient, he explains everything. His wife Azita is also very kind and professional as well. Their office is very neat and organized. This is a very trustworthy office. Sherry, Dr. Hakim and Azita are the best hands down in customer service and best dentist in town. I highly recommend this office. read more

I've been going to Dr. Hakimi on and off my entire life. The 'off' period was only because I had braces and needed to see an orthodontist instead. My mom has known him for 30+ years and he's been our family's 'forever-dentist.' His office is always impeccably clean, and his many certificates line the walls in plain sight. Sherry, the office manager, is friendly, professional, and always follows-up with you on your appointments and your billing/insurance coverage. Azita does the most thorough and gentle cleanings. Dr. Hakimi himself is extremely smart, answers all your questions, and takes pride in his work (and for good reason.) I really hate going to the dentist (do you know anyone that loves it?) but Dr. Hakimi & co. make the experience as painless as possible. Edit: I should also add that I have only ever had one cavity, and I was seven, and it got filled on a baby tooth and later fell out. So I have never had a cavity as an adult/on an adult tooth. Yes, I take great care of my teeth, but I think it also speaks to what a good dentist he is. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Hakimi since I was a kid. He's attentive, caring, and has a warm welcoming personality. His office staff has been with him for years and could not be more professional! He's a great dentist who's experience, personality and office staff raises the bar for all dentists in the area. Highly recommend Dr. Hakimi! read more

Very professional and the best ever. Highly recommended. He and his staff are awesome and they won't let you leave till they take car of your in the best way ever. read more
