The last time I saw Dr. Clerk, whose dental care I thoroughly enjoyed, and whose staff was wonderful, was in December of 2021. Shortly after, I was diagnosed with bladder cancer, and all of my attention was focused on those treatments. Now that I am cancer-free, I am ready to get back to all of the dental work I so desperately need. In fact, I recently broke a tooth, and immediately called his office, which is only a mile from my apartment. "You have reached a number that has been disconnected and is no longer in service..." is the message I received. Now, I'm off to a new DDS in South Pasadena, and I hope I like her as much as I liked Dr. Clerk. read more

From the moment I booked an appointment with Patricia I felt comfortable and taken care of. Overall the booking process was very organized and Patricia has a quick response time. Dr. Clerk and his staff go to great lengths to ensure covid-19 safety and patient comfortability. They also brought forward clear treatment plans and ensured the billing process was easy. Overall a wonderful experience. read more

This is the best dentist I've ever been to! I've been to many places but Dr. clerk is probably the only dentist that always makes me feel at ease, even though he is always trying to take my molars! Lol. His office is located in the heart of downtown on the sixth floor so the office has a great view of everything around. I love that I can show up here knowing that I have an appointment and not have to wait more than 5 minutes to be seen. Parking can be a bit tricky, meters only or $10 for the parking lot. Oh! And he always gives a goody bag with a toothbrush, tooth paste, mouth wash and floss read more

Patrick A Clerk, DDS - Waiting room - General Dentistry Near Me

Let's get the negatives out of the way: Parking is a pain (no validation) Office hours are unreasonable Dr. Clerk works fast and is straightforward There's another side to very story. There's street parking without meters if you're ok to walk. We could all walk more in our day. Otherwise, meters or building parking for $1.5/15 minutes. The office is very clean and uncrowded. The exam areas are all separated by wall dividers for more privacy without being closed up. Hours aren't great. Who closes on a Wednesday? But, they're accommodating to most schedules and needs and Priscilla is nice about rescheduling or coming in late with enough notice. Dr. Clerk is kind and always smiling. It's shocking that he laughs often while doing his work and will joke around but I give him prompts for being light hearted when looking in people's mouths all day. He works quickly, having back to back patients but he is thorough and his staff know his plan. Even though he doesn't always explain what's happening, his staff does. They take their time. He also remembers patients well. He will, however, be very forward about his diagnosis. It may seem intense and maybe rude but he doesn't waste time. You sign up for truth when signing their papers. I did go back for the same filling twice but he corrected the issue for free. I'd highly recommend but he's not for everyone. He makes you take your time but won't take the easy way. He is thorough in his work. His staff is very friendly and compassionate. The office manager will go over your benefits so you're not surprised with anything. read more

What a great office and dentist. I had such bad experiences with other places. So glad I found them!

I've been coming to Dr. Clerk since 1998, since then I've transferred my mother's and my husband's dental care needs over to him. This dental office is about honest, efficient, and cost effective care that is patient centered without the fluff. Dr. Clerk uses no gimmicks to come up on your hard earned $. He's straight forward about your treatment plan options and respectful of your time. I moved twice and tried dentist around my area, but decided the drive outweighs the cons and re-assigned Dr. Clerk as my dentists each time. Staff is respectful and courteous, Dr. Clerk has Spanish speaking staff members as well. DTLA is not the business when it comes to parking, but the meters use credit cards or coins with $3 parking near the building. My name is Bianca C. and I approve this message. read more

I moved to LA about 4 years ago and was in need of a new dentist. Thankfully, I found Dr. Clerk. He and his staff are super friendly. The office is clean and up-to-date. I never find myself waiting for more than 5 minutes or so and I always feel like my visits are quick and to the point. I will point out that at 30 years old, I don't have any cavities, so usually I'm just getting a good clean and check up. I have yet to have a less than satisfying trip to the dentist since I've been seeing Dr. Clerk! I also love that they have you fill out a post-card before you leave that they send to you 6 months later reminding you you're due for a cleaning. There is convenient parking in the building, but there is a lot of street parking around the area, possibly even a free street one block South of Wilshire. I have Delta Dental insurance so I know he accepts that particular insurance. read more

Finally, a great dentist! Dr. Clerk is, thankfully, lovely. He's got a great sense of humor, is very engaging, explains everything, and is a generally nice guy. He's still a dentist, but he's good. And his staff is laid back and helpful, and quite friendly. The office is clean and uses modern equipment (this has been as issue in the past for me), and has convenient parking. He can't make it any easier for me to see him every 6 months, which he reminded me to do no less than 3 times. My only issue, and it's minor, is that he has TVs in the waiting room and in each exam room. I can't stand the constant noise, though I suppose it probably helps people to be distracted. He gets bonus points, though, for having the waiting room channel set to TMZ. read more

No one answers the phone during business hours, and there's no voicemail box, so it just keeps ringing. My insurance also didn't receive a reply when I tried to contact the office through them. Is this office even still in business? read more

Attention to all Dental Lab Owner be aware! Dr. Patrick A Clerk. This doctor will make you work until midnight, giving you rush cases, asking you to come to the clinic to help him to take the shade, adjust denture for him. Make you work harder and not paying you for your extra time. The worst part, when the lab send him the statement he will just pay half of the bill. until he filled for bankruptcy. Doctor how could you sleep at night? you and your office manager! charging your patients alot of money and not paying your lab.? read more

Dr. Clerk was very nice, and my appointment was a breeze. As a first time patient, it took a few calls to reach someone to schedule an appointment initially, which concerned me. However, everything worked out and I got an exceptional cleaning. read more

If you are going to have all hands all in my mouth at least have a nice disposition and Dr.Clerk does. Not only that but he's funny too. Not over the top with the chit chat but just enough to put you at ease. The last dentist I had charged over charged me for services, and was not nice. Despite my sparkely smile I have a fear of dentists. I got up the nerve to finally go and found him to be honest, nice and to the point. Oh and he plays some pretty cool r&b and old school jams in the office, that's just a cherry on my own sundae :) read more

Dr. Clerk and his whole team is by far the best in the LA area. His office is very clean, his staff is always really nice and Dr. Clerk is very honest and kind DDS. I would highly, highly recommend him to anyone with small children and elderly. read more

Dr. Clerk is the worst dentist I have ever been to in my entire life. No exaggeration. He made me feel bad because I had dental problems due to not having dental insurance for two years after being laid off. This man has the worst bedside manner that I've ever seen in a healthcare professional. His hours are terrible for people that actually work for a living: no nights or weekends. In addition, you have to come back for multiple trips where my dentist now can do the work in half the time it took Dr Clerk. Avoid this place like the plague! read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Clerk and his staff enough. They're fantastic, friendly, and knowledgeable. Going to the dentist is terrifying for most of us, but I leave here smiling every time. read more

I had to go back twice for the same filling and it still came of for the third time. I don't think the Dentis knows what he is doing. Why would a filling brake 3 times in less than a week? read more

I recently moved to Los Angeles from Colorado and needed to get my teeth cleaned. I made an appointment with Dr. Clerk as his office was in my area. When I arrived, i found the office was dirty and unattractive. While front desk staff was pleasant and helpful, the Dr. was rushed and impersonal. He didn't identify himself (still don't know if I met Dr. Clerk) and barely looked in my mouth before walking out without a word. Evidently he refused to clean my teath unless he had my file. I left asking myself "what was that all about?" I'm currently seeking another dentist to get my teeth cleaned. This was worst, most puzzling experience I've ever had in a dental office. Wow! read more

I've been coming to this location for about a year and was going for a second year. Till..i went for a regular check up and I was advised my old fillings were cracked and needed to be replaced. I found it odd that he quoted me $250 for one and $220 for the other, after he just quoted a co-worker $100 for hers. Any who I was getting orthodontic treatment at another location and needed a clearance letter signed by DR. Clerk. After I handed the form to the receptionist (DR. Clerk signed the form without even reading it, in front me) then over looked my chart and initially checked off no do not proceed due the cracked fillings and explained to me that with braces it would be difficult to work on the fillings, after I told her I wasn't getting braces but Invisalign, I would be able to remove them whenever needed. She then whited out the initial X and checked off other cracked fillings. So I thought I was clear right? (wrong) Well either way I knew I was getting overcharged so I decided to take advantage of a Rosarito trip and take care of the cracked fillings for $60 each. My Orthodontist reached out to Dr. Clerk's office and the Receptionist sent out another form before I was able to give them the one I had, stating that I was not clear (wtf). After I found out I called Dr. Clerks office and had to remind the receptionist per our conversation I was not getting braces but Invisalign and that she had cleared me and that I had already took care of it anyways but stated after several of tempts of calling her so she can consult with Dr. Clerk she stated he could not clear me because I got them fixed elsewhere and would not take responsibility for any issues. which was absurd because I NEVER asked him to take responsibility but to simply state I no longer had these cracked fillings. But did not want to help which caused a major delay in my orthodontic procedure. So unprofessional do not come here unless you are willing to overpay for dental services! read more

Being in the industry that Im in I always have to have my teeth looking right..Some of you may know me as Oscar from the AMC show The Walking Dead and I said that to say this,,,I love Dr. Clerk as his staff and Ive told all my friends about his office..Ive been there for about 6 years now and I dont plan on going anywhere else..Thanks DOC and I will see you soon..www.vincentmward.com read more

I just got back from my visit with Dr. Clerk and I got myself a yelp account just so I could leave him a review. AH-Mazing! Hands down the best dentist I have ever been to! I had an old filling removed and replaced and I didn't feel a thing! The shot was absolutely painless and I was in and out of his chair in under an hour. I cannot recommend this dentist enough. Do yourself a favor and give Dr. Clerk a try. You won't regret it :) read more

I have been seeing my current dentist for years but unfortunately I realized driving through traffic going to the westside (century city) is beginning to be a pain in the neck. Since I am a downtown transplant I figured why not give my business to someone in the neighborhood. I looked for a dentist around my neighborhood and I found Dr Clerk randomly thru my insurance providers website. At first I was having 2nd thoughts as to why I cannot find any information about him online. I was looking for feedback from other clients. (Unfortunately his website is not updated and if you checked at it right now its not even working.) I assumed he's a new dentist and probably just starting his practice. So I scheduled an appointment for initial consultation and scheduled for cleaning. Guys and gals I highly endorse to take your business elsewhere. Id rather not go into details but I have such a high standard with someone who I will open my mouth for. To all my past dentists and orthodontist, I was able to create a bond with them as I genuinely feel that they want to take care of me. I did not feel that with Dr. Clerk. I felt like I am just another person for him to draw payment from via my insurance. The way he communicated with me in terms of my dental issues made me feel that he was talking down to me rather than educating me to how to better take care of oral/dental health. (I had this experience 2 years ago but I am still compelled to write up a review so at least I can still save some people their time and money from going to him). read more

I recently moved across the country and honestly going to the dentist was not a priority for me - it had been almost 1.5 years so I missed 2 cleanings/check ups when I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Clerk. My first appointment was their first week in their new offices and they weren't quite ready for patients yet, at first I was a little frustrated but they were all very friendly and apologetic on the issue. It wasn't a total waste of time because they took x-rays and did a brief examination which needed to be done anyways. Since it had been so long, they decided to split my deep cleaning and 3 cavities into two appointments so I wasn't there for hours/whole mouth numbed/pain, etc. I went to those two appointments and am very happy with the results! The first one, they came across a small issue and decided to take care of it free of charge since we didn't know we'd come across that. Very easy to work with, I never felt like they were going to take advantage of me or complete services that weren't necessary. Very pleased with my visits and will go back again, definitely recommend for any DTLA resident. read more
