    Let's just say "'A picture is worth a thousand words" thanks to Dr. Arakelian I can't stop smiling and feeling forever happy! Finally, I had: full mouth reconstruction and can't thank Dr. Arakelian enough for changing my life. I can finally smile and chew normally without any discomfort or pain. You are one amazing, caring and smart dentist that I would be always thankful !

    BEWARE !!!!This Doctor is on probation with the Dental board Gheeee I wonder why .. I wish I could turn back time and had never gone to this dentist .. When I went he talked so much shit about the previous dentist that has done work on my teeth and he was just bragging about himself .. That should of been a red flag for me .. Anyways he did crowns on the 6 front teeth of mine and also did an implant on my back tooth .. I paid him over $15,000 and this was within a year . About 3 months ago I went to him and said my front tooth feels wiggly and he did an X-ray and he said there is nothing wrong and sent me home with antibiotics.. last week my front tooth broke off while eating a Soft taco. I called and went immediately and he said oh I don't know how you broke your tooth but it's not my fault and now we have to do an implant and charge you another $4000 .. Honestly at that time I was very mad I was about to cry because I just spent $15,000 and I just did my tooth and I had to pay another $4000 for an implant . He had zero sympathy for me and didn't even say I'm sorry I'll give you a discount I know you just did your front tooth and didn't even get to enjoy it .. This made me go and get a second and a third opinion .. After going to my new dentist he said all my other teeth in the front that Dr. Arakelian did were probably going to fall out because he left spaces in between .. My gums were in horrible condition . Super swollen and when my new dentist was looking at the crown my tooth that fell off he noticed that Dr. Arakelian had left cotton inside the crown yes cotton .. Anyways I called Dr. Arakelian to express to him how frustrated I was and demanded a refund for his horrible job he started screaming at me and I was about to cry from the way he was speaking to me .. I hung up after he told me he wasn't going to be giving me money back .. A few days later Rita his staff called me and said come pick up your refund check of $850 .. I told her is this some kind of a joke I paid him over $15,000 and I have to spend another $10,000 to redo everything and you are giving me a check of $850 .. This doctor is a total scam and he has ZERO respect for his patients and treats them like crap .. Ofcourse I never went to go get my check of $850 looks like he needs that money more than me .. I will be reporting him to the dental licensing board .. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO TO SOMEONE ELSE .. I should of done my homework and read the other Yelp reviews before going to him . Update : I went to his office to get my file his staff told me to go on Wednesday because he wasn't going to be there I guess they were also cautious because of the way he was yelling at me on the phone prior so they said it was a good idea that I went when he wasn't going to be there .. Anyways I went and ofcourse all my x rays were missing from my file and they said this is all we had I made them call the doctor and he said that's all he had .. I caused a scene what do u mean that's all you have where is all my x rays u took .. If you're not guilty or scared of what I'm going to do why aren't you giving me my x rays .. I told them you better have my complete file ASAP because this is against HIPPA if you do not provide me with my complete file .. the staff Rita and Betty are nice but this Doctor is terrible ..

    Many thanks to Dr. Arakelian! You have been very careful with my teeth. Wisdom tooth, which tormented me last week, the sleepless nights, was moveoff in 5 minutes and carefully. was all done in a very painless and quick! Cute girl at the front desk were very friendly and sweet. Talent and experience of Dr. Arakelian, service, nice tools, a comfortable chair to brighten up my stay in this wonderful clinic. I would have recommend this practice if you want a great talented dr. Highly suggested!

Before my appointment, no one reviewed or explained the charges for my deep cleaning. I have dual PPO insurance, and I know deep cleanings are covered, yet I was still charged a significant out-of-pocket amount. I was never informed that a laser would be used, nor that it would be an additional charge per quadrant. I assumed it was part of the standard procedure. This was never discussed or consented to prior to treatment. Even more concerning, my son and I were separated and taken to different rooms, and they proceeded to do multiple fillings on my son without ever informing me how many were needed or asking for my consent. No one came to explain the treatment plan before starting, during my own procedure, or afterward. As a parent, this is completely unacceptable. At no point was I given a clear treatment plan or cost breakdown for either of us. Despite having dual insurance coverage, I was still charged $621 out of pocket. When I asked for an itemized receipt, I was told they could not provide one, which is a huge red flag. This office feels extremely money-driven, with poor communication and questionable consent practices. I truly regret not paying closer attention to the reviews before booking here. Transparency, consent, and trust are critical in healthcare--and this office failed on all three. Please avoid this place and protect yourself and your family.

Dr. Nicole Cheng was absolutely AMAZING throughout the entire process. She was so meticulous and took the time to make sure everything was done perfectly.

She graduated from UCLA and completed her orthodontic residency there as well (which is highly competitive) so you're truly in expert hands.

I trust Nicole completely for all of my orthodontic needs and couldn't recommend her more. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, honest, and truly cares about your results, she's the one.

I extremely recommend this place, and I'm so happy I found my new dentist.

    I chose to visit Dr. Liu because of the many 5-star reviews and hoped for a positive experience…read morewith a difficult dental issue; a broken crown that most dentists had deemed nearly impossible to save. Like others, Dr. Liu referred me to a specialist he works with, and I began a long process that included an extraction and an implant. This was my first time undergoing an implant procedure, and it was emotionally and physically stressful. Every visit felt heavy, and all I wanted was to get it done and move on. Over the course of nearly 10 months, I completed the implant with the specialist and returned to Dr. Liu for the final crown. I visited Dr. Liu's office at least eight times, possibly more, for the procedure. Throughout this process, the front office had both of my dental insurance plans on file. Yet, despite this, they never provided me with a cost estimate or gave me any indication that the crown wouldn't be covered. To my surprise, at the very end, during my final visit, I was presented with a very high bill for just the crown. It felt like a shock, especially considering that a friend of mine had a crown done by a reputable dentist in Beverly Hills and paid significantly less cash. What troubled me most wasn't just the cost, but the lack of transparency. The office had ample time and opportunity to inform me about what wasn't covered and what I would need to pay, yet they waited until everything was done. If I had been given this information upfront, I might have made a different choice. To be fair, the specialist Dr. Liu referred me to was very professional. From the first appointment, their office clearly outlined the entire cost breakdown and what my insurance possibly would and wouldn't cover. That kind of transparency gave me peace of mind; something I wish I had received from Dr. Liu's office. I believe patients deserve to make informed decisions about their care. Withholding important cost information until the end, especially when a patient is in pain and under stress, feels deeply unethical. My experience does not reflect the integrity I expected based on the reviews, and I hope this feedback encourages more transparency for future patients. While Dr. Liu seemed competent, the lack of transparency around costs left me disappointed. Patients deserve clear, upfront communication, especially during stressful, costly procedures. Had I known the full financial picture from the start, I would have made a different decision.
