    I've been a loyal patient since 2015. This is not intended as a complaint or negative review…read more Basically it's a reminder to know the cost of services before they're performed. For example the doctor told his staff to conduct a CT scan. Never quoted a price. After I was told it cost almost $1000 but that I'd be charged 50% of their earlier lower price (almost $200). And they proceeded to bill my dental insurance the entire nearly $1000 for the imaging (which my insurance denied). I'm scheduled for extraction and implant early next year but when I asked for the cost I was told they need to calculate it and let me know. I'm still waiting 3 weeks later. I like Dr Tassone as a dentist but there have been times from visit to visit that his diagnosis changes. I don't want to change dentists but now getting teeth cleaning elsewhere. I'm aware opinions can change and different dentists offer entirely different treatment options. What I don't appreciate are my dental insurance benefits getting wiped out before I can blink twice. After that I'm on my own and having to decide if want to pay the high rates.

So I had to go back again for them to redo it. When leaving, I needed an implant so I made an appointment and asked if it is covered by insurance. Sure it will be I was told. After waiting months for my appointment, I show up and am handed a bill for $2,500 dollars. What?! And then I was told I didn't have enough on my insurance because of the chipped tooth repair work. I could have waited. Why didn't they tell me this when I asked?! Then I asked why this was so expensive and they said I'm being billed based on my zip code. Great, so they are overcharging me. Also, I needed to sign a form that I understand my dentist is an independent contractor. So they are like stylists at a hair salon renting a chair there? They have a big sign at the front saying how they were voted best this and best that. I wonder how much they paid for those. No way. I will never use them again and I don't recommend them at all. Liars, cheats and shoddy work. I'm looking elsewhere.

Or if you live in the San Pedro area, I highly recommend the San Pedro location as well.. Thank you for a great experience!

    I never imagined I would be writing a review like this, but I feel obligated to share my experience…read moreso others know they should always seek a second opinion before agreeing to extensive dental treatment. I initially came here because I had a painful tooth that I already knew likely needed a root canal according to my previous dentist. After beginning the root canal, I was told the decay was too extensive and that the tooth could not be saved. The dentist strongly recommended extracting it immediately. Trusting their professional judgment, I agreed. The tooth was extracted, a bone graft and membrane were placed, and I was told to return in about a week for a follow-up. Two days later, the office called and asked me to come back because they had a cancellation and wanted to take a full-mouth set of X-rays to make sure everything else looked healthy. That appointment completely blindsided me. The owner of the practice Dr. Nadi, came in and told me I had six cavities, several failing fillings, two crowns that needed to be replaced, another tooth that urgently needed a root canal, severe gum inflammation requiring laser treatment that insurance would not cover, and that I needed to start treatment immediately. For context, I had been seeing my prior dentist for nearly 22 years before making an emergency appointment with Dr.Smile, and had been there less than a year earlier and left with no problems other than eventually needing a root canal. I brush, floss daily, and use a Waterpik. When I mentioned that, I was told my previous dentist had done poor-quality work and that's why I supposedly had so many problems. Then I received the treatment estimate. With my dental insurance, the total came to $11,325, including approximately $5,200 for an implant to replace the tooth they had just extracted. The estimate also included numerous additional fees, such as multiple charges for desensitizing medication $95 each tooth for 5 teeth, expensive lab fees totaling $1,950, BioPure charges amounting to $800, laser gum treatment $600, and mandatory IV sedation for the future implant amounting to $1,000 for 30 minutes. I was overwhelmed and honestly broke down crying in the office because there was no possible way I could afford it. I explained that to the financial coordinator, who left to speak with the dentist and returned with what was presented as a solution: the treatment would be reduced to $10,000 if I financed it through Cherry at roughly $400 per month, and they encouraged me to begin treatment that same day. Thankfully, I decided to get a second opinion before moving forward. I returned to my longtime dental office the very next day. They took new X-rays, completed a full examination, and their findings were dramatically different. They told me I had no cavities, my back molar did not need a root canal, my gums were healthy and did not require laser treatment or a deep cleaning, both of my crowns were in good condition, and only one filling would eventually need attention. They also reviewed previous X-rays and told me they believed the tooth that had been extracted may have been salvageable. They have since taken over my care, removed my stitches at no charge, completed my cleaning, and will be handling my implant for significantly less than what I was quoted here, and without mandatory IV sedation. I understand that dentistry can involve differences of professional opinion. However, the contrast between these two treatment plans was so significant that I cannot recommend this office based on my experience. If you are ever presented with an extensive or very expensive treatment plan here, I strongly encourage you to seek a second opinion before making any decisions. It gave me peace of mind, and it may save someone else from going through the emotional stress that I experienced. I do want to give credit where it's due. Every staff member I interacted with was kind, professional, and compassionate. The assistants and front office staff treated me with respect, and I appreciated how friendly everyone was throughout my visits. My review is not about the personalities of the staff, it is about the treatment recommendations and the enormous discrepancy between what I was told I needed and what an independent second opinion found.

Special shout out to Carolina (she's always super friendly and nice!). Wait times are not long (maybe 5 min), and typically only 1, maybe 2 others in the waiting room. The longest i ever waited was maybe 20 mins, but that is not usual. They definitely schedule things with the patient in mind :) This practice also accepts Medi-cal dental insurance which is nice, and for the times i had to pay for something that wasnt covered, their prices were reasonable (pretty much market rate, sometimes a bit lower compared to other places i asked!). Do take caution if you get hygienist Dr. Danan--everything was smooth sailing for me until I got paired with her. She'd be very rough during the cleanings, and always ask if i flossed (which i do, everyday) because my gums bled quite a lot. I never had this issue in previous cleanings (when i was paired with others).
