I went to this dental clinic to fix a tooth and establish care. Before scheduling my first…read moreappointment, I asked if they accepted my dental insurance, and they said yes. They requested my insurance information through messages, and I provided everything they asked for, so I assumed everything was good to go. On the day of my appointment, the front desk simply checked me in and did not mention anything about a co-pay. I was seated in the dental chair where they took X-rays and panoramic photos of my teeth. I will say that the dentist was great--very kind, professional, and pleasant to talk to. However, when it was time to check out, the front desk told me I had to pay a $76 co-pay. I was surprised because I believed my insurance should have covered it. I didn't really have a choice but to pay, even though it was a heavy expense for me as a single mom who is currently unemployed. That same day, I messaged the clinic to ask for clarification about why I had to pay. I believe that before any procedures are done, the front desk should clearly explain what will be performed and what the expected costs or co-pays will be--especially for first-time patients. Only then was I told that while they accept TRICARE, they are not in network. This should have been clearly explained beforehand because not everyone understands the difference, including me. Now I have received another bill in the mail for $207, which is very frustrating and unexpected. I wish the clinic had been more transparent about costs and insurance coverage from the beginning Update: After communicating with one of the staff members, Maria, she was able to look into my concern and help resolve the issue. The additional $207 bill was corrected, and I did not end up having to pay it. I appreciate her taking the time to assist me and address the problem. Thank you.

I've been holding off on writing this review because I wanted to consult another dentist first…read more Beware of the deep cleaning scam. Deep cleanings are usually separated into two separate appointments for all 4 quadrants; the procedure is usually prescribed when patients are developing gum disease. This office wanted to do all 4 quadrants in 45 minutes without even looking at my gums. Big red flag. The dentist could not tell me why I needed the procedure, yet they tried to get me to sign something saying they had explained everything. Deep cleanings are more expensive-that's where their incentive comes from. I went to another dentist today and had an amazing experience. It was a routine cleaning (which this office does not offer upon first appointment). The dentist told me my teeth and gums looked incredibly healthy. Go figure! Avoid, avoid, avoid this place.

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 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!

I was coming from…read morea private practice dentist who was overtreating me and overcharging me (surprise surprise she sold the practice shortly after I left). 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! :)
