Five stars for Dr. Samouhi and his amazing team! Dr…read more Samouhi was very professional and detailed in his explanations, which gave me so much confidence in the treatment. The staff is wonderful--friendly, funny, and incredibly attentive. I appreciated the little details, like the water provided in the lobby, and the efficiency of the visits. Knowing they were checking in on me the day after my procedure made a huge difference. I would definitely recommend Dr. Samouhi to anyone looking for top-tier care."

(only because zero isn't an option)…read more Dr. Alan Levy and his hygienists are excellent -- skilled, professional, genuinely great at what they do. Which makes it infuriating that the front desk is the reason why they've permanently lost my business. I was a loyal patient here for years. Spotless billing history, never a problem. Then one Friday I got caught in the 405 traffic that anyone in LA knows is a coin flip, called ahead to say I was running late, and as I was parking right outside their door -- 20 minutes late -- they cancelled my appointment. No offer to wait for the next opening. No attempt to rebook. No flexibility whatsoever. Just a cancellation, followed by a bill for an appointment that never happened. Then it got worse. I called three times -- calmly, reasonably -- to ask them to drop the charge for a service I never received. Three times I got the same cold, dismissive answer: lateness is billable, read the fine print. Years of loyalty meant nothing. No goodwill, no judgment, no interest in keeping a long-term patient over a single traffic jam. Just a hand out, demanding money for an empty chair. That's the whole relationship to them: not a patient, a line item. So they've lost my business -- permanently -- and I'll be telling everyone I know to think twice before handing this office their trust or their money. The dentistry is good. But you have to get past a front desk that will bill you for nothing, lecture you for asking, and treat years of loyalty like it never happened. Not worth it. Go somewhere that remembers you're a person. What a shame, all for $145. Good thing this town has thousands of other choices who provide equivalent care with exceptional service.

I had an unfortunate fall 16 years ago that badly broke one of my front teeth. I had a root canal and crown then but was always incredibly self conscious about the crown. The shape and the color never matched appropriately. At the time I thought this was all I could expect, but 16 years later and a freshly updated crown complete I am beyond pleased and proud of the way my teeth look. I didn't know there would be a dentist that would care the way that Dr. Perlaza did. The lab he uses is fantastic, coming in to custom shade match, then taking the time to come back and make a slight shade adjustment because doctor was not happy with the match the first time. Truth is, I hadn't even noticed any shade issue I was already so pleased with the upgrade I saw then... but Dr. Perlaza is a perfectionist and I am so grateful! The final outcome is dreamy! Cannot thank this doctor and his office enough! True, dedicated professionals!

I know they have a new front desk team but wow I didn't know this would make sure an impact on the overall experience. For as long as I can remember, my insurance has been covering 3x/year visits. The last time I went, the front desk informed me this was incorrect and I now owed them money from previous visits. When I told them it was their own front desk team who confirmed 3x/year visits were covered, they said their team had been wrong and now I owed money. Diabolical for an office to make a mistake and then demand money 4+ months later. After I paid, my cleaning was absolutely subpar and rushed with no check-in from the dentist afterwards. Unfortunately, after years of loyalty, I will now be looking for a new office

Exceptional Expertise & Life-Changing Results -- Thank You Dr. Okui and Team!…read more I was referred to Dr. Matthew Okui at Akemi Dental Specialists in Encino by my cosmetic dentist, Dr. Bernie Villadiego, for one of the most critical parts of my dental journey: replacing failed root canals in my two front teeth with implants. My situation was uniquely complex, and I wanted the best of the best. After extensive research, I chose to go with ceramic implants over traditional titanium--not only for health and lifestyle reasons, but also because they suited my specific needs. Ceramic implants require a high level of precision and experience, and very few periodontists offer them, let alone excel with them. Dr. Okui is one of those rare experts. From the first consultation, Dr. Okui's meticulous attention to detail and calm, confident approach gave me complete peace of mind. He approached my challenging case with the utmost care, treating it not just as a routine procedure, but as a personalized and highly technical medical and aesthetic solution. The result was a highly successful implant procedure with outcomes that exceeded my expectations. Not only is the function flawless, but the aesthetic result--when paired with the final restorations by Dr. Villadiego--is seamless. My smile feels whole again. His entire team was phenomenal--professional, kind, and attentive every step of the way. From scheduling to aftercare, they made everything smooth and stress-free. If you're facing a complex implant case or considering ceramic implants, Dr. Matthew Okui is the specialist you want in your corner. I'm beyond grateful for his skill, care, and the life-changing results he helped deliver.

Fabricated Cavity from digitally tampered X-ray…read more This review is from my experience with them 3 years ago back in September of 2022. It was a draft that was not completed. I'm surprised this office is still in business and did not have any major lawsuits that shut them down. They send mass direct mail advertising all around the community for free cleaning and x-ray. When you go in, they tell you about problems you don't have. Dr. Kniter told me I had to get a crown done due to a cavity, but thankfully I had a second opinion from my old dentist, and there were no issues. He would have destroyed my tooth for profit. Dr. Kniter altered the x-ray to show a dark spot to indicate there was a cavity, when there was none. I contemplated on filing a lawsuit. It is surprising to see that they are still operational. Cases like this are rare in getting exposed because patients get taken advantage of due to the knowledge gap without ever finding out. If they got caught in this one instance, highly probable this has happened multiple times. I feel bad for the patients who got their teeth mishandled by this office. I could almost see the horns protruding out of the head of this man. Always go to the 1 star section of the business to get a fuller picture. There are many similar stories. I hope this review protects the community from greedy health professionals who have no interest in your well being.
