Absolutely professional with perfection during the entire procedure, along with highly skilled staff making sure everything ran smoothly.

I'll happily pay a premium for a procedure that only needs to be done one time with zero complications in the future. If you require a tooth extraction or implant and you want the very best in Los Angeles, Dr. Shabtaie is who to go with. I am grateful.

I highly recommend Dr. Ting and his team and would not hesitate to return to them for any future oral surgery needs.

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Dr. Sam Vahedi and his entire office…read more I had a tooth that previously underwent a root canal and crown years ago, and out of nowhere it suddenly broke one day. I immediately saw my general dentist, who recommended that the tooth be extracted and replaced with an implant. As you can imagine, I was extremely nervous and anxious about the idea of oral surgery. I reached out to Dr. Sam Vahedi's office, and from the very first interaction, they were incredibly accommodating and professional. They understood the urgency of my situation and scheduled me promptly, which immediately helped put me at ease. The moment I walked into the office and met Dr. Vahedi, I felt calm and reassured. He has a very confident yet kind demeanor that instantly builds trust. They performed a CT scan, and Dr. Vahedi took the time to thoroughly explain exactly what was going on and what the plan would be. He explained that the first step would be extracting the broken tooth, which had three roots. During the procedure, he carefully numbed the area. There was only minimal discomfort with the numbing, and after that, I truly did not feel any pain at all. I could feel some pressure and hear some crunching, but there was absolutely no pain. Throughout the entire process, I felt completely confident in Dr. Vahedi's technical expertise and knowledge. It was clear that I was in very capable hands, and sure enough, he did a magnificent job. His assistant, Heidi, was also wonderful--very attentive, reassuring, and kind. I was so relaxed during the procedure that they actually thought I had fallen asleep! That alone speaks volumes about how comfortable and stress-free the experience was. I will be returning in several months for the next steps of my implant process, and I am extremely grateful that Dr. Sam Vahedi is my oral surgeon. If anyone ever asks me who they should see for oral surgery, extractions, or implants, I will unconditionally and enthusiastically recommend Dr. Vahedi. An outstanding experience from start to finish.

I am over the moon! I have now recommended Dr. Khou as well to all of my coresidents, and I can see why he's so busy!! I cannot say even great things about Dr. Khou and this team at Ask Dental. He and his office are incredibly supportive -- the number of times I've needed to reschedule my follow ups or even come in during the weekdays in an emergency (chipped tooth, worried about sensitive gums etc), his office has always managed to schedule me in. I don't know how he does it!! They have a very efficient scheduling system via phone call and text reminders (of note, please make sure to not cancel within 48 hours - they say there's a cancellation fee but I haven't cancelled so soon before an appt before). Their office is so conveniently located in Westwood -- I always take time off and stroll from UCLA Reagan during the afternoons to make my dentist appointments. His office is so clean (doesn't have that traditional dentist smell!) & there's a calming big screen TV with calming music and a scenic montage in the background). His office also provides little goodie bags with dental floss, toothbrush and tooth paste for every dental check up!! Truly - when I'm an attending and graduate residency soon, I hope to still continue seeing Dr. Khou as a patient for as long as possible!

They even suggested that my daughter bring her favorite plushie for extra comfort, which she absolutely loved! Although she was nervous at first, the team took the time to talk with her, made her feel at ease, and even let her watch a movie to help distract her during the procedure.

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Yafai to my family, friends, and anyone looking for exceptional care.

I called UCLA, because I have other doctors there. I think their prices are fair - so far - and they don't really have incentive to overcharge or overtreat you like private practice dentists with a lot of overhead! That said, the first dentist I worked with - whom I really liked - moved. She was "conservative" in her recommendations, didn't overtreat, but was watchful and caring. I did not like the next dentist they paired me with at all...I found him rude and very condescending, and he pushed x-rays that I questioned the necessity of. I would have been open, but they acted as if I had missed appts or something - never! I had followed THEIR UCLA protocol to the "t!" He also neglected to even tell me that he only wanted to do bite wing x rays - I would have had no problem with that, esp. as it was my first time seeing him. (However, I think he wanted to do a full set and changed his mind when I questioned it.) I think he is following out of date guidelines - ok, but don't condescend to patients who are just asking knowledgeable questions! His attitude continued throughout the exam, so I complained immediately to the front desk: they were beyond helpful and nice. They set my next appt with another dentist, based on what I told them I liked about the first dentist. Time will tell, but overall, I think it's a good office if you advocate for yourself, and don't accept a rude dentist - there is a whole wall of dentists' cards to choose from! Not a big deal, but they really really need to update the waiting area! It's all dark brown and dreary - feels like you walked into the '70's! A brighter coat of paint would put patients in a better mood! :)
