    Dr. Dekano in action, patient is my wife
    George P.

    She is the best dentist I know. I tried 3 different dentists before I found dr. Dekano. She puts me at ease. She is very attentive to patient's concerns. I didn't even feel my root canals. I brought to her my wife as well. My wife naturally scared of dentists. Now they are best friends. She even recommended her coworkers to Dr. Dekano. Stop reading, call Elena her assistant to schedule you for whole new experience at dentists office:310 275 1137. You ll like it!!!!!

    I had about 8-9mm of gum recession near the front of my mouth. It was a pretty severe problem that…read moregot increasingly worse over the past 5 years. My dentist, Dr. Ilya Bruce doesn't do gum grafts, so he referred me to Dr. Soleymani in Beverly Hills. And you know how I feel about going to ultra- bourgeoiuse places like Beverly Hills. There's a parking structure near Dr. Soleymani's office (2 hours free), and there were many advertisements telling the public to NOT give money to panhandlers. I was very upset by this, but meeting Dr. Soleymani and his staff made everything better! Even though his office is located close to Rodeo Drive and surrounded by pretentiousness, Dr. Soleymani and his staff are very kind and grounded. My favorite kind of people! On top of that, the entire staff was very knowledgeable about the procedure and made sure I took all the precautionary steps to ensure a speedy recovery. Did I mention that Dr. Soleymani also teaches at the UCLA dental school? He's really legit. :) The actual gum graft took 1.5 hours, and the recovery period was about 2-3 weeks. During the first two weeks, I was on a liquid diet as the wounds on the top of my mouth and in the front of my mouth were still healing and we didn't want to decrease the effectiveness of the graft. To be honest, I was extremely nervous about the procedure because I read several articles and posts on Google about the awful recovery process and how people had to take several days off of work because the pain was so terrible. BUT....there's a but and a BIG one too!! BUT, due to Dr. Soleymani's expertise and perhaps my sheer luck, I felt virtually no pain during the recovery process. The affected area did feel a bit bruised but nothing intolerable. It was incredible. I didn't even take all of the pain medicine that was prescribed to me. After the surgery, Dr. Soleymani scheduled regular check-ups with me to ensure that my gums were recovering nicely. I have my 6-month check-up coming up soon! Didn't think this review could get any better?! You're in luck! Dr. Soleymani and Kim, the office manager/extraordinaire, knew that I was in a tight financial situation, so they helped me figure out a repayment plan that would decrease my financial burden (for a gum graft, each tooth costs roughly $1200). I didn't even ask for financial assistance, but I was touched that they were thinking of my financial needs. P.S. They even played my favorite music during my 1.5 hour surgery!! They put on The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, the Jackson 5, etc. Thanks, Kim! P.S.S. The office is beautifully decorated. I felt like I was in the W hotel in Hollywood.

Dr. Aalam assured me that he would be able to help restore and heal my gums with a gum graft alongside the PRF treatment they specialize in. The procedure was a success & my gums healed perfectly. The procedure itself was painless & once the swelling went down, everything looked perfect. The price was also more than reasonable compared to other periodontists who do more traditional gum grafts. I've also been coming here for routine cleanings with Ava, and she's amazing! She always creates a welcoming and comfortable experience. If you ever need any of the services this office offers, don't hesitate to come in. Highly recommend!

    The absolute best doctor in the world. After undergoing numerous procedures over the past thirty…read moreyears, I can say without hesitation that I have never felt more confident or safe than I did under Dr. Bahat's care. His expertise is exceptional, but what truly sets him apart is the genuine compassion and attentiveness he brings to every interaction. He takes the time to listen, to explain, and to ensure you feel fully comfortable and informed every step of the way. Equally impressive is his incredible staff. From the moment you walk through the door, you're treated with warmth, professionalism, and respect. They are organized, responsive, and truly go above and beyond to make the entire experience seamless. This has been the best medical care I have ever received -- not only in terms of technical skill, but also on a deeply personal level. I am profoundly grateful and would recommend Dr. Bahat and his team without the slightest hesitation.

This was by far the best decision I have ever made!! right from the very beginning he made me feel completely at ease and very secure. I should mention that I suffer from Dentist phobia. I have never felt any anxiety during any of my visits. After two procedures I can honestly say that he is the absolute most thorough and compassionate dentist I have ever seen. I have had this procedure, in the past, at another dentist and I must say that Dr Bahats after care is outstanding! He has kept a very close eye on my recovery and progress sometimes weekly. I have a very long drive to his office.... but it is worth every minute! I will finish by saying that his staff is also one of the best... Reina is an absolute gem. I know that any future issues that may arise, Dr Bahat will be doing those proceedures too.

    You should literally go to any other dental practice!…read more In my experience, the quality of care is average to poor - I've had to pester the office over a period of multiple weeks stretching to months to get new clear aligners after the dentist was unhappy with the initial results. If you don't pester, you'll just never hear back...After my last treatment, the dentist needed to do "research" to find a product that could help him finish polishing my wax up and promised to follow up once they had the product. That was August of 2025! Still no word. Perhaps worse, I've experienced the office staff at The Lounge pressuring my dental hygienist to upsell me on various products like an oral detox (which is manufactured by a company that is also owned by Dr. Moldovan). This would be bad enough to warrant a warning to stay away but the office staff is truly abysmal. I've experienced promises that they would submit insurance forms that they never seem to submit (at least according to the insurance company) and have had to send 10 email requests just to get a "super bill" so that I can submit to the insurance company myself. Amazingly, Dr. Moldovan refuses to have a conversation about the quality of her staff and the service level they provide. Instead she seems to prefer to tell her staff to quote her as saying, " I will not discuss the dental insurance with our patients, for this has never been my speciality, this is my practice and insurance is not accepted as payment, I am a periodontist trying to heal the world." I've never known another business owner to refuse a conversation with a customer because the topic "has never been my speciality". Again, you should literally go to any other dental practice!
