I had a very challenging impacted upper third molar. I knew that there…read morewere quite a few risks because I'm 46 and it was very close to the nerve, close to the other molar and with deep roots. When Dr. O pulled it, he made an opening into the sinus but this was likely going to happen no matter what. I called and was scheduled an appt the next day. It's healing fine, and I've had no other complications. I'm very happy with him: technically proficient, not chatty, and a low key, pleasant bedside manner. I would gladly go back if I ever had anything complicated.

Dr. Omoto ended up pulling the bad tooth and grafting the bone for which I am so grateful. Office staff is very kind and patient. Office atmosphere is pleasant and clean. I Had to go out of network to see him, but well worth it! Would not hesitate in recommending Dr. Thomas Omoto at all.

I chipped a molar and asked in a community FB group for recommendations for a sedation dentist. Dr. Cootes sent me a message to let me know most if not all insurances do not cover sedation. I gave her my information and she personally looked up my insurance coverage (she is out of network, but routine cleanings are covered 100%). She sent me up with an appointment to diagnose the molar w/ an x-ray. I couldn't handle the sensors in my mouth so I opted for the panoramic machine. She took a look and let me know that it was the third molar that was cracked, and recommended that I have all four removed. Unfortunately, she can do any other tooth except the third molar and referred me to an oral surgeon. Before we concluded our visit with Dr. Cootes, I asked if she can try a dental cleaning, since it has been 5-7 years since my last attempt. She said NO PROBLEM and had a go. Dude! I had almost no issues with her gentle skills. She used a manual scaling tool instead of ultrasonic and I think that is what helped me. She was very patient and compassionate. I think that is what helped. I am looking forward to my visits with her in the future.

The entire process requires 7-9 months. Dr. Ducar was great with super chair side manners, as was his staff. The office is clean and well run - professionalism abound. In any event, I give Dr. Ducar my highest recommendation.

My hygienist Tam, who's amazing - is the one & ONLY reason I was a patient of this dentistry for…read moreover 21 years - since long before its purchase by D.D.S's Souzan Roshan Ardalan from Peter Spennato. In the years since 2011, when Souzan Ardalan litigiously wrested the business from Peter Spennato, its decline has been steady. Recent interactions with Souzan Ardalan finally showed me absolutely all of the reasons why. When I made the appointment, with Connie, one month before the scheduled visit, as well as during the additional times they'd called to confirm it, I communicated my need for just the one, usual service, of just a basic cleaning with novocaine, and the total cash price, of $135, to which Connie had agreed. I also mentioned that I would be driving up from Orange County for the visit. Day of, I left work, in the middle of my day, to drive over an hour and a half in jammed morning traffic to get there. When I arrived, I was 8 minutes late (which I'd called, en route, to let them know about). It's so common for us as patients to be made to wait for our doctors and dentists, that a 15 min grace period is an industry wide generally accepted courtesy doctors and dentists provide, nationwide, for patients running late to their appointments. Regardless of the fact that I've arrived early for the last 5 prior appointments with them, and that, on every single one of those appointments with them, THEY had made me wait 15 - 20 min, and once, even 40 minutes, they were ok with dying on their sword over 8 minutes. They refused to see me, and they were shockingly rude about it. And then they had the unmitigated gall to assume I'd subject myself to a repeat of this treatment by rescheduling yet another appointment with them. They thought I could just leave work any old time, as if I had all the money in the world to waste yet another day and another tank of gas on a three hour drive. We'd agreed upon the single service when I'd made the appointment, and the price, yet they waited till I showed up to say, NOW there wasn't enough time to see me. They started throwing up excuses by inventing additional services we hadn't agreed upon (& likely would have also surprised me with a higher bill at the end for them too)! They suddenly said that they now wanted X-rays, and gum measurements, and all these random, other, extra services, and that my subjecting myself to them was "mandatory" & because they were now suddenly dictating the performance of these extra services, which we had NOT agreed upon, that there suddenly wasn't enough time to honor my appointment, because another patient was supposed to arrive in 45 minutes. Not only was this other patient not even there, the whole office was completely empty! At 1 o'clock in the middle of the business day! I was there. There was 45 minutes. All I wanted was a cleaning. I was paying full price. In cash. But no. None of this made any sense until Souzan Ardalan suddenly came walking out... and then, I totally understood why loosing a patient, loyal to their business for over 21 years could be justified with such random, unprofessional, irrational behavior on their part. Souzan Ardalan stumbled out, with raccoon eyes mascara, smudged down her face, which rimmed red, bloodshot eyes, was sporting a halo of messy, unwashed hair and was dressed in unkempt, rumpled attire. She was just slovenly and grossly disheveled. Far more disconcerting, however, was her manic, irrational, pugnaciously snappish behavior. What was NOT surprising, was that she was exhibiting all this, in an office, entirely devoid of patients, just a few hours in to the business day. It all made this business's struggle towards impending doom even more substantially apparent. Suddenly I remembered the two back molars that had gotten infected and had ached terribly for months after she had bonded them. And then, when I began writing this, I'd discovered her near endless stream of (at least 8, multi-year!) civil, criminal and fraud cases, she's been involved in. Suddenly, everything clicked into place. Her mistreatment of her patients will ultimately be the terminating cause of her practice's unfortunately imminent downfall. Sadly, in her current state, I doubt she's able to recognize how fiercely she's contributing to her own professional demise. "Doctor" Souzan Ardalan is sinking her own ship.

It was so frustrating. Everyone told me to wait, but the bump wasn't going away and looked gross. When I finally got in to see Dr. Yagoubian, it felt like such a relief. He saw me quickly, explained everything in a really calm, reassuring way, and removed the mucocele that same day. He then sent it to pathology and thankfully it came back benign. That peace of mind alone was worth everything. Recovery was a bit tougher than I expected, and right after the procedure I panicked thinking it was still there--but it was just swelling and bruising. Within about a week and a half, I was almost completely back to normal. His staff was honestly amazing. They were so kind, patient with my million questions, they provided clear instructions in what to do, eat and what not. If you're dealing with a stubborn lip bump and feeling stressed or confused (like I was), I really recommend seeing Dr. Yagoubian. Thank you!

When we arrived, the receptionist confirmed and both services were covered by our DeltaCare dental insurance and that there would be no charge that day for these services. During the exam, the technician advised me that I should have a "deep cleaning," for which there would be an extra charge. I declined that service and told him that I only wanted the regular cleaning paid for by the dental insurance. There was no confusion about this. He understood and proceded to give me a regular cleaning which was completed in about 15-20 minutes. When I went to leave, the receptionist told me that I owed them $30. When I alerted them that I declined the "deep cleaning", she acknowledged this but then informed me that, instead of the "deep cleaning", the technician, WITHOUT ADVISING ME, performed some level of cleaning that falls between a regular teeth cleaning and a "deep teeth cleaning". I argued this but she kept insisting that this was customary and that I owed them the $30. When I got home, I investigated this online and discovered that: "There is no intermediate level between regular and deep cleaning--these are the only two main types of professional dental cleanings, and there is no step in between." I FEEL THAT I WAS TOTALLY CONNED AND WOULD LIKE A DEMAND LETTER TO BE SENT TO THE RANCHO PALOS VERDES DENTISTRY DEMANDING THAT I BE REFUNDED THE $30. IN MY OPINION, THIS OFFICE IS HIGHLY UNETHICAL!
