I have been a patient at the Pasadena Smile Center for over 25 years. Dr. Molayem began running this office approximately 10 years ago (sorry, maybe longer). My experiences while having treatment at the office have always been superb, which is why I literally travel about 15 miles to and from this office. Yes, that's correct, I live in LA and travel to Pasadena for the special care I receive at this dental office. All of the work for my family's dental needs is top rated! Customer service is always on point. There is a new hygienist and I recently had the best EVER teeth cleaning (last month) than I have ever experienced before. I also like the hygienist who has been there for 4-5 years too; she is terrific. If you live or work in the Pasadena area or if you are like me, one who travels to get the best service possible, then check out the Pasadena Smile Center on Lake.....you will smile more broadly going forward....promise. read more

I have been attempting for over six months to obtain clarification regarding my out-of-pocket expenses for treatment, and despite numerous phone calls, I have not received the information I requested. Each time I spoke with Marcy, I was told she would follow up, yet I never received any response. The lack of communication and follow-through has been extremely frustrating. While the dentist herself seems very kind and professional, the front office operations are disorganized and the customer service has been disappointing. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing lack of responsiveness and organization, I have decided to seek care elsewhere. I hope the office takes steps to improve its administrative processes so that other patients do not experience similar issues. read more

I have been going to Dr. Molayem for few years now. She is truly a gem and I couldn't have say enough about her. She really knows her craft. recently I have been having jaw problems and I thought it was a toothache and I rushed to see her. They took me in right away and after doctor looking at the area she gave me advice on what to do. she gave me a sheet that explained about what to avoid and what to do to heal and also she referred me to a chiropractor. I knew that my neck was bothering me but I didn't realize that it was affecting my jaw. I'm really glad she didn't touch my teeth despite of me trying to keep telling her that it was my tooth. After few days the pain went away and all great again thanks to this amazing doctor. read more

Pasadena Smile Center has truly redefined my perception of dental care. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere immediately put me at ease. The staff's professionalism and genuine concern for my oral health were evident throughout my visit. I felt comfortable discussing my concerns and was met with thoughtful explanations and personalized solutions. The state-of-the-art technology used at the center further reassured me of the high standard of care I was receiving. If you're looking for a dental practice that combines skill, compassion, and innovation, Pasadena Smile Center is the place to go. My experience here was exceptional, and I can confidently say that my smile has never been in better hands!" read more

I recently returned to this office after trying another office closer to home, and I am definitely glad to be back. Dr. Molayem and her staff are incredibly friendly and take their time to thoroughly explain everything. I saw the hygienist Cassie, who was excellent. I was a few months overdue for a cleaning, so I was a little nervous going in. Cassie not only was gentle, I came away with one of the best cleanings I've ever had. I will definitely be scheduling my next cleaning with her. I would definitely recommend this office to everyone, and be sure to ask if you can be scheduled with Cassie for your cleanings. read more

The worst dental experience I have ever had. I had some pretty basic work to be done--fillings, a crown--and she did them so poorly I was in pain and had to go back several times, and she never did get it right. I had to finally go to another dentist to fix the problem--and that only took one visit. Also, the staff is utterly disorganized--they don't pick up the phone half the time, lost my records, and in the end, charged for work they never finished--a problem I'm still trying to clear up a year later. Really, save yourself the toothache and the headache--avoid "The Pasadena Smile Center" at all costs. read more

Dr. Molayem is a predatory dentist who lies to patients. Be prepared for a dirty office (dusty floors, wallpaper peeling off the walls, outdated equipment, cluttered lobby) and to be overcharged significantly. I paid $400 for a procedure that costs $150-$200 pretty much anywhere else. Also, when I tried contacting the office to have some files sent to my new dentist, it took them over a week to get back to me and, in the end, they never bothered sending them. Avoid this dentist! (P.S. The crappy cellphone picture of Dr. Molayem on this Yelp page is a good indication of her level of professionalism.) read more

Dr. Molayem is the most amazing dentist that I have visited. By far the best bedside manner. She is caring and skillful. I had a crown done and it feels and looks exactly like my own tooth. and the best part is that she uses the best materials that is suitable for your body. She goes into details about your health of your body and mouth and how it's all connected. She went over my diet and told me what I need to eat to keep myself healthy. they also had a scan machine that they did my crown with and they didn't to put all that putty stuff in my mouth. read more

Doctor Niloufar Molayem is one of the best Pasadena's Dentist. Don't let the amount of review on here fool you, most of her clients do not write reviews otherwise she would have plenty of 5 starts reviews on here. She is gentle yet very adroit, she is very knowledgeable and up-to-date with the latest techniques and resources available in the industry. I have been to at least 20 other dentists in the Pasadena area as I was born and raised in this area and she is so far the best dentist I had the pleasure to deal with. Good Job Niloufar read more

I am not a dentist person and recently went to a dentist that I learned was over charging me. I went to Dr Molayem's dental office recently and had work done. I had the most positive experience at this Dental Office. The staff front desk Marcy very professional. I had a deep cleaning done by Tenny Belderian and she was so patient and professional. They never pressured me and only recommended treatment. Overall I was pleased with the overall experience. I have made this my primary Dentist. read more

Highly recommend Pasadena Smile Center. read more

Must agree with Chris's review below. I'd avoid this place. All they did when I went for a simple check up was push expensive cosmetic treatments on me: "For $5000, we can make you look great!" Uh, okay, but what about just checking to see if my own teeth are in good shape before trying to sell me new ones? It was more like a plastic surgery place than a dentist. read more
