    Simply put, no other dental practice is comparable to this office…read more Dr. Chen is meticulous, always erring on the side of caution, transparent about the process and potential risks if any, and most importantly, he educates us on the importance of saving a tooth and takes the time to share his thought process and knowledge so that we can learn and understand. Having worked at a prosthodontics office, I understand the importance of oral health; ultimately, preventive care is the most important step in our oral health. The fact that Dr. Chen does the cleaning himself, proves to me that he really cares and is passionate about helping his patients. Not only that, his unique & specialized 3 step cleaning has been the MOST effective teeth cleaning I have ever had in my 38 years. I can't emphasize enough on how effective these cleanings are and how it has maintained my fragile gum health. I know for a fact that if I went to Dr. Chen as a child, my teeth would be in perfect condition. Over the course of 5 years, Dr. Chen has replaced multiple old fillings, and is currently working on replacing an old crown & the tooth decay that has been secretly brewing underneath that poorly placed crown. Of course, we discussed the potential risks/outcome, and he showed me the before and after photos of the process (I believe most dentists would have pulled out this tooth which would result in my getting a root canal/an implant). Nevertheless, having a dentist whom I trust wholeheartedly, is a blessing that can sometimes be overlooked. I am forever grateful for Dr. Chen and Julia. Thanks to Julia and Dr. Chen, I am living an optimized quality of life where I can share my beautiful smile, eat delicious foods, be intentional about practicing oral self-care and enjoy flossing!

    Unprofessional Unreliable…read more Inconsiderate Disrespectful These words pretty much sums up my experience with Sam Hersel and his team. After 2 months of them literally ghosting me, (since May where I had a pre-planned appointment for cleaning) I felt compelled to finally write this review to caution others. I've been a loyal customer for 12 years. I even wrote a glowing review. I've always had a pleasant experience until last October 21st where I came in for my dental appointment. I even got a notification text 5 days prior reminding me of said appointment. When I arrived, parking was closed. I was calling and texting several times but no one answered. To my surprise the office was closed. What was so frustrating and appalling was that I can tell they read my messages but instead of being upfront to admit their mistake of failing to notify me of their closure they blatantly ignored me (see photos of my receipts). This is the text I sent them: I took off work to come here. It's been 47 minutes since my appointment time and still no answer. No apology. Nothing. You absolutely wasted my time. Never in my life have I had this experience with Dr. Sam Hersel. It's one thing to make a mistake, but to ignore me and leave me hanging....that is what I am more upset about. I was able to make another dental cleaning appointment in November (interestingly Sam Hersel answered when I called him from my work phone but not from my personal phone and barely apologized for what happened, instead making the excuse that it was a computer issue? (Yes but I know you read my texts). I decided to give them another chance . The November appt was fine. No issues. Still they never took accountability for what happened previously. At the November visit, they had me scheduled to come in on May 7th. This time I texted before driving there. They texted they were closed that week. They texted on a Tuesday 5/5. So if I had not texted, were they ever going to notify me?? They said they would call to reschedule. Two weeks passed, still no call from them. I called them to just please give me an update (I noticed they read my text but I never got a response..sound familiar?). I posted a question on their Yelp page if anyone had issues with scheduling an appt. Interestingly my post was taken down a few days later by Sam Hersel because of my "tone". Really??!! This dentist would rather take the time to take off my question post than to be a real professional, be accountable, and respond to a loyal customer he's had for years! Now it's July. Still no phone call Sam Hersel but I've already gotten a more stellar experience at a family dentist in Arcadia (review will post soon!). He did the full exam and their dental hygienist did a more thorough deep clean WITHOUT the use of numbing medication. She used the proper tools to get the plaque out, did the flossing, and toothbrushing. It didn't hurt one bit! I could've taken a nap! Sam Hersel on the other hand, was more aggressive with cleaning (it would hurt in certain areas even with numbing cream) and just a mouthwash at the end. No flossing. No toothbrushing. Subpar cleaning and horrendous customer service. Take my advice from a former loyal customer, don't come here. If you do, he may end up ghosting you.

    ATTENTION: Patients check your billing. I strongly recommend…read morethat patients review their insurance Explanation of Benefits and see if that aligns with what the dentist is charging them. I paid for my girlfriends treatment and handled the billing issues directly with the office and insurance. In our situation, the insurance confirmed that we in fact did over pay by over $800. We have now begun the complaint process with the insurance. We could wait up to 30 days for the insurance to investigate. The billing issue has been deeply frustrating. We received office ledgers showing balances that did not match what was reflected on the EOB determined after the insurance processed, and verified. This dentist is an in network provider and they have contracted rates that cap what a patient will be charged for different services. As a patient I would suggest not to assume that the balance that the dentist office shows is certain to be correct. What makes this situation even worse is how challenging it has been to get the overpayment refunded. When we have called the office on numerous occasions we have been told repeatedly that the finance person responsible for handling these matters is unavailable Going to the office in person multiple times to request the refund of over $800 that we paid out of pocket also did not yield any results for us. Repeatedly we were told that the finance person was not in the office for the day yet. When we asked when the finance person would arrive and be available, the staff told us that they did not know when the finance representative would be coming in. When our insurance called on our behalf, they were also told that the person responsible for finance was not available. At this stage, the constant delays are improper. The insurance company validated that an overpayment has taken place and informed the dentist office of such. A patient should not have to call multiple times, visit the office repeatedly or hope the finance person is there at the time of arrival to have money that is owed to them returned. Today we started the formal complaint process through the insurance since we were unable to resolve with the dentist directly. I suggest patient carefully review all of you EOB from your insurance company. Request an itemized ledger from the Dental office and then compare that to what your insurance says is your responsibility. What we have learned from this experience is that patients need to be careful and attentive to the finacials of their services at this dental office. I will return to this review with an update once the insurance completes its investigation and we receive our refund and things are resolved.

    I have been shopping for a new dental office and I'm happy to report I've found the fit. A friend…read more strongly recommended this practice and I didn't see Kerkorian, but rather a lovely female dentist (I was hoping I could find her name on the website but she's not there so forgive me for forgetting this excellent practitioner's name). Ani is an amazing hygienist and I was in and out as a new patient with full x-rays in only 45 minutes. Amazing. The ONLY thing I can suggest to improve the experience is to re-think the office sanitation procedure. Instead of cleaning a chair between visitors or using a paper liner for the chairs, there is thin plastic tarping covering the chair - that sticks right to hot legs on a hot day and makes things rather uncomfortable. It's not "green" at all to use disposable plastic (no plastic bags can go into recycling) instead of simply giving a chair a disinfecting wipe between patients. I don't know if that is what the "Green" stands for in the firm's name, but the leaf logo makes me think there should be more eco-forward practices here. I would knock off half a star, but since I can't, I'm rounding up for the excellent service, friendly staff, and ease of street parking. Thank you, Green California!

Before booking the first appointment, I did let them know about some issues I've had with dentists in the past and how they would "talk down to me" or "lecture me" because I don't have the best luck with my teeth. They really listened to my concerns and have been sweet. Dr. Nicole and the dental hygienist are really gentle and quick and efficient with their work.

I scheduled the evaluation/initial appointment for x-rays and requested a deep cleaning, a filling replacement, and repair of a chip tooth. One Star: The young lady behind the desk was polite and professional. Once I got into a room for X-Rays, I met with the hygienist. I can't remember her name. She was gentle with the X-Rays, but it took a really long time to get the X-Rays done. She mentioned she only had one year experience. The longer I was there, the more unprofessional her communication was. I have had gum disease for many years. She proceeded to tell me I could have gotten it from kissing someone. She also stated that I need to make better life choices. This is all while my mouth is open for a polish cleaning. I found her conduct and assumptions extremely unprofessional. Then the Dentist came in, Dr. Nicole Nalbandian. She introduced herself and immediately asked me what I do for a living. I find these questions intentional to see how much more money they can get outside of the covered insurance. She then stood behind me looking at my x-rays without discussing her observations. I never saw the x-rays because they were on the screen behind me. I found her mannerism very arrogant and unprofessional. Communication goes a long way. There wasn't any communication from her. I scheduled 3 appointments within 3 weeks of each other. 2 for the deep cleanings and one for the crown where my cracked tooth was. I was contacted 6-8 times to confirm these appointments by phone, text and email. Even on a Sunday. The incompetence of scheduling the appointments is where I cancelled everything and ended up going elsewhere. If you can't get something as simple as scheduling appointments, then I'm sure not going to trust you to do any work on my teeth. The inability to communicate like a professional and the inability to schedule 3 simple appointments is where they lost me. I do not recommend this dentist.
