After reading these reviews I was a little worried about coming here for my Oral Fibroma. However,…read moremy PPO Dental Insurance did not offer a local oral surgeon who could see me without paying out of pocket. So, I reached out to my UCLA PCP and she was able to get me a referral for the Oral Surgeon here. Let's remember that it is a CLINIC and a learning facility, so wait time and call back time can be long. When I called to make my initial appointment, I got someone within a reasonable time and they scheduled me to see Dr. Tara Aghaloo. Someone called me a a week later to reschedule since she was going to be out of town. No biggie...Just waited an extra few weeks. Because I had an appointment, they took me back to the examining room area and was greeted by the sweetest young Dentist. In fact, every one I dealt with was kind, respectful and professional. Dr. Tara could not have been nicer and you could tell she loved what she did and loved helping her patients. I left feeling grateful for the care I received and the quick scheduling for my minor surgery. *Monday's are Clinic Day - so it is packed and the staff and Dr.s are working over time to see each and every patient...So, being "patient," is very important. *There is a parking lot a few blocks from the clinic and some meter parking on campus for visitors. ~ and that's all I have to say about that.

Today Dr. Shabtaie placed a new implant in a new slot (# 4) and the entire procedure was 30 minutes. Absolutely professional with perfection during the entire procedure, along with highly skilled staff making sure everything ran smoothly. When it comes to delicate procedures that have risk of failure (including my retina reattachment surgery and vein ablations), I believe working with the very best a city has to offer. 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 tried to contact them as early as possible, and they told me that it wouldn't be available until the 2nd week of November. This was back at Aug 5th. When I called them back, they stated that they don't recall that they contacted me and said that once I submit my information, I should expect to hear from them. It has been well over a month, and they never did. I was referred here, due to the specialized microscope equipment that they have that no other dentist has. A shame that they basically have a monopoly to this. The care quality is superficial if they leave their clients to wait that long.

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!

My daughter had two exposure and bonding procedures, and he did an incredible job. She only needed a couple of pain medications on the first day, which exceeded our expectations.

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 truly appreciate the kindness, compassion, and professionalism that Dr. Yafai and his team showed my daughter and me. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Yafai to my family, friends, and anyone looking for exceptional care.

But his office staff is terrible. His assistant made me cry in her office. I started this review probably 3 years ago and it's been sitting in my drafts. I dont know if she's even still there. But I remember her being absolutely awful. I was disappointed as I've had many surgeries. After this surgery I was told that the dr would reach out, no one from the office called post op. I was in horrible pain the next day and was told by the office, the dr wouldn't call me since it was a Friday and he took a holiday. I had never experienced anything like that from any surgery center or dr. Post this surgery I needed another jaw surgery and got seen in Dallas and had a completely difference experience from front desk to dr visit. It's unfortunate when your office staff sets the tone for the entire office.
