Dr. Moradi is patient and has a calming energy to him that makes you feel at ease. He's incredibly knowledgeable and I'm glad I trusted him with my smile!! :) read more

Meir Agaki, DDS - Smile - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This person billed my insurance for some surgical work when all he did was to hit my tooth so hard so it would come out. Charge me out of pocket because said my insurance didn't covert and still charge my insurance after 1600$ for a wisdom removal for which I paid out of pocket! Definitely fraud! Don't go with this doctor. Check personally with your insurance before going to make sure the procedure is covered or he will fool you. read more

I called to make an appointment with a specific dentist only to find out he had retired and his patients had been moved to this office. I was a little bit thrown off but decided to try them out. I have premium dental coverage through my husband, and this place was listed as being in my network but the lady on the phone said they were out of network but it was actually cheaper for me if I went to an out-of-network dentist because they could do certain things that were less expensive and submitted to the insurance company. Hmmmmmm, that was shady. When I arrived for my appointment, I was shocked to see how large the office is. It literally has rows of exam rooms, almost like a factory where they "turn & burn". I was super uncomfortable having that many people in an office space during this pandemic. Right away, an assistant/technician told me they were going to take all these X-rays and have a specialist come in to discuss any procedures I might want done before the dentist comes in. I told them I don't want to talk to anyone just the dentist about redoing a cavity that was bothering me. The technician insisted I see some this "specialist" just in case I wanted other things done such as braces or cosmetic work and I said no! I was not going to be charged for something I didn't want. They reluctantly agreed. They then directed me to X-rays and said they were going to take two or three, turns out they took five! I told them I was super uncomfortable with that since I just had CAT scans and x-rays the day before from my doctor & didn't want any extra unneeded radiation. Dentist never spoke to me to find out what I was in there for before taking x-rays! When I returned to the room a dentist came in, never introduced himself, and just told me he had to redo the whole tooth, & & needed more x-rays, & more work was needed on my surrounding teeth than I had initially requested. At that point I got up and said I had to think about it and left. I did not like this place at all because they were trying to force extra services to charge to the insurance company as well as to me. Super shady. I feel bad for people that don't understand or speak enough English to understand all the unnecessary and extra services they are being pushed into! I felt rushed & totally like I was on a patient conveyor belt. The dentist never said his name, just rushed in with multiple diagnoses. If you are not assertive and don't understand what type of care you are going in to the dentist for, then I highly suggest not to come here as you will be paying for many services you don't need. I still don't recommend it because during this pandemic there are so many people in there and if you're uncomfortable with that then again I don't recommend this place. Be very careful about high volume medical practices. This place seems more interested in volume and money rather than one-on-one care. They treat you very anonymously, no personalization whatsoever. Educate yourself and make sure you know what you need or don't need so you don't get scammed into paying for unnecessary services. read more

such a excellent professional doctor ‍ i highly recommend for all your dentistry needs... thank you sir

Very nice Dentist Dr Li and his assistant Ana A i had a root canal with a core/post crown build up with no pain! they were able to fix my tooth and use my own crown that had fallen out. I have been seeing Dr Agaki for almost 20 years! Highly recommended for those with Emergency dental needs like me. when you are open for business in a Virus environment sometimes the doctors must raise prices for the risks they are offering customers. honestly speaking, all the staff is very nice considering all the stress in the world today! i will be back again for any dental needs. read more

I've been a loyal patient from over 10 years ago- With Dr. Meir Agaki. He done 3 implant and I had to go back more than 10 times for the last implant. He always messed up my teeth. I do NOT RECOMMEND him. I did a root canal w dr Agaki, I have had pain in this tooth from the beginning after the root canal. I went back 4 time, mind you, I live in Oc. This last two ago, I had the tooth pulled. The saw 3 cracks in it. Dr Agaki is extremely shady, he charged my insurance everything. And I had no clue what he charged because he said be didn't charge me. He never gave me a bill for want he charged my insurance. He overcharged my insurance. Be sure to get a detailed bill. And don't go this dentist if you need to save your teeth!!! He is shady!!! read more

If you go to this dentist, I advise that you read your insurance claims. I just received two... one that was over billed for my husband, and one that suggests I was in their office when I wasn't. You may think that doesn't matter, but consider that late last year, our insurance denied us a regular cleaning, because we had met our limits. These two things suggest that they have been over billing our account since the beginning. Not to mention the worst cleanings ever, but that's beside the point of this post re: obvious fraud. read more

If you want dental work done that lasts longer than just a couple of years, don't go to this office! Their work is way too temporary, way too expensive and the office manager is rude and an asshole! read more

I have been going to Dr. Frankel's office for decades thru their office on Venice Blvd. and now under Dr. Meir Agaki on Washington Blvd. and every cleaning is excellent. Dr. Korda is so gifted at bonding and now Dr. Vagarsh (Dr. V) is such an artist with bonding and really listens and is beyond 5 stars. These are professionals you can trust. read more

I had an erupted wisdom tooth that had been giving me problems so I went out in search of a dentist to extract it. I don't have dental insurance so I was looking for somewhere in my price range. Came in late and Dr Agaki had it removed same day. Only had the area numbed up and the tooth was gone in 5 seconds. I experienced zero pain and zero swelling. I was back at work the next morning. The staff were all extremely friendly and attentive. I will be coming back for 3 more extractions soon. I definitely recommend anyone and everyone looking for a dentist to come here. read more

Good customer service Quality equipment Excellent follow up care I've had an easy time making appointments. . Changing them if necessary also. The prices and plans are very reasonable. read more

My regular dentist injured his shoulder and had surgery to correct it. A neighbor recommended Dr. Agaki. I needed one crown and Dr, Agaki talked me into two crowns. Two dentists have told me they fit poorly and one has a small cavity which indicates the crown was never sealed properly or the cavity existed and should have been filled before the crown was placed. When I returned to discuss the findings with doctor Agaki he offered excuses instead of integrity. I have no confidence that this office is capable of delivering quality work. Unfortunately, Im out the money. Too many Dentists are destroying the reputation of Dentistry for the remaining good ones. read more

I actually found dr. Agaki through my wife, she has been his patient for a while. He was very concerned with my situation, and he made me fell very comfortable. His price were fair and he took my insurance which was the best part. I also liked this new equipment he has, which you can see your self while he is working on you. So no fuss, no mess, and no pain Thank you dr. Agaki for making my life easy, and I'll see you on my next visit read more

I put on a post last week, but somehow someone was clever and got it erased. (1)I went to Dr. Adaki for 3 implants, and I knew his newspaper price was too good to be true. (2)After he kept me through the bargaining process, he came down, about 20%, and I ended up paying it, (3)He required 100% down before he started and I went along with that. (4) He told me I didn't need novocaine, and I "bit the bullet". He took impressions and it hurt so much when he took them out, that I was afraid my teeth would fall out. (5)He said I didn't need temporary crowns. He may have been right, but either way that is what happened. Into my third week, the lab hadn't delivered my teeth. I called several times and got the run around. Finally, I was so upset that I said that I wanted my credit charge reversed. Then they didn't return 3 calls as they had promised. Finally, when I said I was coming over and not leaving until I got it reversed, they said the crowns would be in the next day. Then, he put in the abutments and there was bad pain. Finally he said, "Okay, I will numb you up". Then he said that he had the abutments but not the crowns. I demanded a reverse on my credit card or I would call the credit card company. Finally, he agreed. The bookkeeper did the reverse, and he came out and ripped my receipt, followed me to my car, kept yelling, holding his fists in the air and I made it to my car and locked it as I was sure he was going to open the door as I threatened to report him to the licensing board. He called me three days later, and did apologize. He said he was emotional because he had the crowns but something didn't fit. HE SAID THAT THE MOLD WAS WARPED AND ADMITTED THAT HE DIDN'T USE WAX. HOW CHEAP CAM SOMEONE BE. THIS IS THE WORSE EXAMPLE OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP I HAVE EVER SEEN. He offered to give me a discount, but this wanted half down. WHO WOULD THINK I WOULD TRUST HIM. HE PLAYED PING PONG WITH ALL THIS, AND I TOLD HIM NO. I THINK THAT HE HAS A WAY TO GET THIS OFF OF YELP, I DID A CUT AND PASTE AND WILL CONTINUE TO GO ON THIS SITE EVERY DAY TO RE-ENTER IT, IF IN FACT HE CAN REMOVE IT. I WILL NOT TOLERATE THE FREEDOM OF FREE SPEECH. read more

Saw hygienist Bianca today. She was very pleasant, professional, & did a very thorough cleaning. The office appeared spotless, all COVID precautions taken, & front office was very efficient & friendly. read more

Yesterday was my first time visiting this office. I almost cancelled my appointment because of my severe fear of the dentist! I knew I had so many issues with my mouth and teeth, it was overwhelming and I was terrified. As soon as I stepped into the office, I immediately began to feel better because of how friendly everyone was! The entire staff from the front desk staff to the x-ray technician to my wonder dentist (Dr. Cerisa Moncayo) did a fabulous job of making me feel reassured and comfortable. When Dr. Moncayo examined my mouth, she clearly explained all of the many issues without making them seem scary or making me feel like a lost cause! During my cleaning, she just chatted with me like we were friends which distracted me from the work she was doing which usually makes me so tense and anxious. I'm currently unemployed so I was nervous about the cost of dental care, which can be astronomical. The staff went over payment options with me, prioritized my issues so that I knew how I could break the work up so I didn't have to pay for everything all at once, and was overall very understanding and accommodating. I felt so great leaving the office knowing that I finally found a great dentist. I'm excited to work with them to make my mouth healthy and beautiful again. read more

The worst dental cleaning I have ever had, I walked out. I have been a patient at this dental clinic for 20 years. I used to know every person there, my daughter got her braces there. We have had root canals, wisdom teeth, veneers, crowns there and today was the last time I went. First - you walk in - you are immediately presented with your co-pay obligations and asked to pay UPFRONT. Well, now I know why. I waited for 45 minutes. When I asked why it took so long she said she was paging the dental hygienist. The cleaning begins. She kept yanking on my neck - I told her I have a neck injury, I can't rotate my neck 90 degrees. She poked me twice with the instrument, just rough handling of my teeth that are sensitive. Next without warning she takes the air and just goes at it basically sending me off my chair because she's blowing at my sensitive teeth. On the final yank I had it. I got up and walked out. The coordinator (not manager) called to tell me that I could come back and see a doctor. I declined. I will not go back. The chairs are ripped, the bathroom neglected and all new people. I believe - and this is pure speculation - that they let all the experienced people go who made this place during Covid and hired the cheapest and most inexperienced people they could find. Remember I went there for 20 years, for as long as I live in Culver City. I am not saying this lightly. read more

***Updated*** My experience with this man has been nothing short of a NIGHTMARE. Since leaving this review, Dr. Agaki has sent harassing texts, attempted to bribe me to remove the review, and has called my father to complain about the review. I never authorized him to call my father, and this is a breach of the doctor-patient confidentiality agreement. Dr. Agaki was referred to me by a friend last year. One dentist in Agaki's office saw several cavities (about 6), but when Agaki came in the room, he pointed out two to three more. Agaki left my teeth in more pain than when I arrived, and I have since had to get two of the teeth re-done. When I came to him after he operated and told him of the pain, he said the solution was to get a crown on the tooth that had the root canal. At the time, I was not educated about dentistry, and didn't realize that a tooth that has had a root canal has no sensation, so if you're having pain it shouldn't be on that tooth. His recommendation was a lie. I continued to experience pain. It wasn't until I went to another dentist who, UNLIKE Agaki, took the time to explain my different options. He restored the tooth by putting in a silver filling. Agaki has refused to send my X-rays Agaki refunded my money, admitting fault. Nevertheless, I would NEVER recommend Agaki to my worst enemies and feel I should warn the public about my horrible experience with him. read more

I hav Never met DR Agaki since starting my treatment so I can't personally speak on him. But this is definitely the office I go to. The staff are very friendly however beware of the billing department. They will OVER CHARGE YOU!!!! I was told I had to wear my braces for two years and was quoted a price of $4500 I have made my last payment months ago however I still have my braces and they want to charge me $150 every visit not to mention that they want to charge me another $3000 for retainers I have never heard of $3000 retainers. When I asked them what happened to the old school retainers with the wire that goes across your teeth billing told me the doctor doesn't recommend that kind and it's best to go with the permanent ones. No sir! I can't imagine paying $3000 for permanent retainers that I can't remove just so my breath can stink Then when I made a big deal about when treatment will be over seeing how I went over my two year plan they told me well if I wanted to I could just take them off NOW! What person in their right mind pays $4500 ( OUT OF POCKET not including Cleanings and teeth removals ) and not want the finished look they were promised. I would just looking into another orthodontist. These people come off as scammers if you ask me. read more

I was referred to this dental office by a close friend of mine. I made an appointment because I needed to take care of my long over due molar implant. When I arrive, there was good parking. When I walked in, the location was clean and updated (not runner down). Comfortable couch to wait in. I loved the unique looney tunes cartoon paintings on the walls. The front desk lady Brenda was super nice. She was happy to get to know me. On my second visit I got my molar extracted by Dr. Agaki. He was very nice and made sure I was explained about the procedure and pricing which turned out to be reasonable. The extraction was painless and quick. His assistant Sarai was very sweet and informal. She explained to me the process and helped me calm my nerves down from my extraction. On my third visit, I went for my cleaning. Dr. Moncayo was super nice. She explained the cleaning procedure as she gently and carefully cleaned my teeth with such gentle touch. I had never had a gentle cleaning like this before. Now I can't wait to go on my next visit because going forward, I will have my new implant. Thanks for Dr. Agaki and his Wonderful staff. I highly recommend this place. read more

If I could leave a 0 star review, I would. Save your time and money! Several employees at this office lied to me and told me my insurance was in-network when it was in fact not. I called to ask for an itemized receipt after my first appointment and was put on hold for over ten minutes. The least helpful dentist office with terrible staff. I don't recommend to anyone looking for thoughtful dental care. read more

First time at this Dental Office. Great staff. Very nice and welcoming. Went in for a cleaning and left satisfied. Keeping in mind that I do not like Dentists; Through out the cleaning the Doctor was making sure I was ok and didn't feel any pain. She made me feel comfortable. I knew I was in good hands. Thank you to the wonderful staff who made me feel welcomed. And to the doctor who took care of me! read more

Amazing service!! I got composite bonding done by Dr. Corda and I love it! She's super meticulous and everything was painless. I have a lot of dental work to be done (including implants) and I was worried about the cost. Derek worked out a plan that is most cost effective for me. Their other office at Venice has been great as well! I had fillings and new partials done in there. Their team has the most painless and nicest dentists ever. read more

I walked into Dr. Agaki's office in error thinking it was another dentist office. I explained this to the receptionist and they took me right away. Dr. Agaki explained the work that is needed which was a couple thousand dollars which I don't have, so they set-up a payment arrangement with me so that I can have the work done. I had my first visit 3 weeks ago and I can tell you that he is very fast and professional and the staff is absolutely wonderful!!! I would recommend them to any and everyone. read more

Great Dental office with AMAZING staff and dentists! I'm so glad I found you ; ) Dr. Vasquez and Dr. Kaveh did a great job with my much needed root canal, no pain at all and very clean work. Dental assistants were excellent too. Derek gave me very reasonable prices for dental work, they'll work with you and your budget and if you have dental PPO insurance they also accept it. I'm very pleased and will continue my dental work here. Also Very clean and well equipped. Thanks all for the amazing experience! See you very soon! read more

These people are crooks they billed my dental insurance without any services rendered. Dr. Meir Agaki and his billing staff are fraudulent crooks and they will be under investigation. IMO don't go to this crooked facility. read more

Dr. Agaki is caring, professional, and amazing at dentistry. I came from another dental practice that I've going to for years, something happened (long story) and we had a falling out. I've decided to head over to Dr. Agaki's office and I've finally seen the light. The office is updated with the best equipment so much so that I was surprised to see my X-Rays in full HD. I just got a root canal done and Dr. Agaki's precision made the procedure flawless. He's a dentist who actually cares. read more

He's a great dentist. I don't know where my review I had written before had gone. But he is a great dentist and I've seen plenty over my 16 years of living in Los Angeles. I've seen several questionable dentists in which I would never return to, Agaki is NOT one of "them" and it makes me question these "one star givers"... His entire staff treated me with great care as I explained to them I am not very good sitting in the dentist chair. I squirm, I wiggle, and I find it very uncomfortable. They were fantastic and I have nothing but praises for him, his staff, and his work... I have never before in my life felt so comfortable in the dentist chair, I didn't squeeze the arms off the chair and I didn't kick my shoes off. At least not out of discomfort but I could have taken them off and fallen asleep if I had a pillow...and that's during a ROOT CANAL! I'm glad I found "my" dentist after a ridiculous amount if scouring this city. read more

I recently had an urgent and conspicuous dental mishap with my front lateral tooth. I am frequently in the public eye and needed the issue to be addressed right away. I rushed over to see the professionals at the Agaki dental office -- Dr. Korda was able to squeeze in some time for me before my scheduled appointment and provide me a temporary bonding while a more permanent veneer was placed on order. She is a thoughtful, considerate, and attentive dentist to whom I trust the care of my teeth and for whom I would highly recommend. read more

I broke a tooth this month and my dentist for the last twenty years recently retired. My daughter recommended Dr. Agaki and I reluctantly made the long drive on the 405 from the San Fernando valley to Culver City. I was thrilled that Dr. Agaki was able to save the tooth and place a temporary crown on it immediately. His prices are quite fair so I decided to have my teeth whitened on the same visit. I am extremely satisfied with the results. I grew up in a family of dentists so I am picky and aware of the process. The bottom line is that I highly recommend Dr. Agaki. read more

I have been twice to Dr. Agaki's office and have had a great experience each time. Everyone in the office was incredibly friendly, professional and good at what they do. I highly recommend them all! read more
