So switching was a leap of faith and it paid off immediately. From the moment I sat down, Dr. Yosi made me feel completely at ease. I had a lot of questions and he was very patient answering every one of them. The cleaning was thorough but surprisingly quick, and he gave me thoughtful recommendations for other specialists I should see, which I really appreciated. First visit and I'm already planning to come back for years. If you're in Venice and looking for a new dentist, look no further.

He was so thorough and caring, you can tell he's had YEARS of experience in his field and made me feel so at ease after my first appointment. He and his team were so accommodating of my leaving town very quickly, and was able to take care of my teeth for my specific issue. I would highly recommend him to anyone, especially friends and family.

I am a patient from 2021. Dr Grauer failed to complete my orthodontic treatment. Out of laziness,…read moreinstead of proceeding forward with different types of retention for my challenging case, Dr Grauer decided keeping me in invisalign trays for the rest of my life was the best solution he could offer. Since Dr Grauer is the only orthodontist I had been to as an adult I didn't know that doing so meant that my teeth would always be moving and were never put into final retention - and that doing so meant that my orthodontic treatment was never completed. I only discovered this when Dr. Grauer attempted to charge me $500 to replace the final invisalign tray set a few months ago (which I was told was my final retainers). After I had already paid $7k for treatment + additional costs for retainers that I couldn't use bc once placed they would push my teeth out of alignment, I wasn't willing to pay an additional $500 every time I needed new aligners (since I would likely need a new set every year for the rest of my life). After I insisted they lower the price for the aligners, after comparing the cost of a permanent retainer ($300-600) which lasts 10-20 years, to the cost of paying $500 a year for aligners (which are only supposed to last a few weeks to a month, but I was stretching them for a full year at a time), Dr. Grauer wrote me a formal letter releasing me as a patient. He failed to complete my orthodontic treatment, never put my teeth into final retention, tried to charge me $500 for my final set of aligners and then formally released me as a patient when I called attention to it. I now have to pay another orthodontist to address what Dr. Grauer failed (and refused) to do. Dr. Grauer should have his licensed reviewed, penalized and potentially revoked. How many other of his patients are wearing invisalign for their entire lives after having paid for "top notch" orthodontic treatment? And for him to shrug off the responsibility of it by releasing me as a patient after I paid him over seven thousand dollars? Most orthodontists charge half of that and they actually finish their patient's treatment. Dr. Grauer's actions are inexcusable and unacceptable. I want my money back.

These people are thieves, extortionists, and commit insurance fraud…read more I've been a patient here for 2 years. They were recommended to me by a coworker. Everything had been fine until my latest and last visit. Last year Dr Patel recommended I get some fillers for a few teeth. The vibe of this place is very sales-y. They definitely try to upsell you on things. Which I get, everyone needs to make some money. So I decided to get the fillings done. I had 3 fillings done last June (2025). They submitted the claim through my insurance and I paid the copay. Fast forward to today - 1 year later, June '26 - as i'm leaving my routine cleaning the front desk woman said I had a balance due on my account. I asked if she could just email me an invoice since I'd already spent nearly an hour there and had other commitments. I said I'd take a look at it as I wasn't sure why I would have a balance due. She pushed and said it's just $50.40 - As though it being a nominal amount meant that I should just pay it without knowing what I was paying for. I said that's fine, but I'd like to make sure I know what I'm paying for and will need to talk with my insurance. At this point of the conversation the man with the long hair and nose ring interjects into the conversation and starts demanding payment. He was practically yelling at me. It was highly unprofessional and made me uncomfortable. Given that he was demanding payment on the spot I tried to ask clarifying questions but he would not answer clearly. He said that it's for services rendered and it's due today. He became increasingly hostile and combative so I left the office seeing as the conversation wasn't going anywhere. I figured they'd send me the invoice anyway and I'd get it sorted. They did indeed send a follow-up email demanding payment within 15 days or they'd send it to collections. Given that this was the first I'd heard of a balance owed on my account, I found it highly suspicious that they'd be so threatening. Note that I had a cleaning with them between my appt when I got the filling and the latest cleaning. Additionally they have all of my contact info and never once sent me an invoice. In any case I started combing through my emails from them, my receipts, and the insurance claims they sent to my insurer. Turns out they had fraudulently billed my Insurance for 4 fillings instead of 3, and the outstanding balance they claimed I owed was the exact copay amount for the 4th tooth. I reviewed the invoice again and noticed another discrepancy. The teeth they claimed to have filled were incorrect. What I find comical is that one of the teeth that the invoice reflects as filled is actually one that Dr Morim mentioned I should get filled at the appointment that literally just took place. With all that being said, I've obviously reached out to the Dental Board of California and i filed a formal complaint, I've notified my insurance of their fraud, and have contacted an attorney to explore other avenues of legal action that may be available. The thing that is most upsetting about this scenario is how they treated me. I've been a loyal client to them for 2 years, but it felt like they were treating me like some common thief trying to evade payment. Given that they destroyed all goodwill i had for them, I've obviously decided to find another provider. I highly recommend avoiding this practice. Though I'd be surprised if they still have a license to operate after I'm done with them.

Excellent Doctor, Very Frustrating Front Desk Experience…read more Dr. Mogharei & Dr. Morim are very professional, thorough, and attentive -- the care and check-ups are excellent. However, the front desk has been a major issue. I've been trying to get a pre-authorization for wisdom teeth surgery for 6 months now......and it hurts!! Every time I ask about the status, I'm told to contact my insurance myself, often with interruptions and a dismissive attitude. They've given multiple excuses for delays, but my insurance confirms they've never received a request. While the doctor is outstanding, the front desk's repeated mishandling and poor communication make the process unnecessarily stressful. The office needs to improve their insurance coordination and patient communication. --------------------- After posting this review, I received a call from the front desk saying I am no longer welcome at the office due to my review. And suggested me ti cancel my wisdom teeth removal appointment. First if all, I feel extremely uncomfortable to be contacted via phone for my review; Secondly,it is unprofessional to suggest a patient to cancel a surgery ( which is well needed) because patient's online review. And again during that call, I was interrupted multiple times and the tone felt dismissive. This unfortunately reinforces my original concerns. Finally, I'm shocked that my preauthorization remains unresolved after over six months, yet it takes less than a day to act on a negative review. Great image management!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to warn others to get a second opinion before…read moreagreeing to major dental work here. I came in because of a small cavity on my front tooth and was told I needed a root canal, a crown, and extensive treatment because the cavity had supposedly reached the nerve. In other words, they wanted to remove much of my healthy front tooth and place a crown on it. I was also told I had around seven cavities. I did have a few fillings done here and also had a root canal and crown on one of my molars, but I wasn't comfortable with the recommendation for my front tooth, so I got a second opinion. The second dentist took new X-rays, performed a full exam, and told me the cavity was nowhere near the nerve. It only needed a simple filling, which they completed that same day. My front tooth was preserved, and I never needed a root canal or crown. I was incredibly relieved that I got a second opinion before agreeing to an irreversible procedure on a tooth that could be treated conservatively. I've also had ongoing issues with the crown they placed on my molar. It has fallen off multiple times in less than six months, and each time it was simply glued back on without investigating why it kept happening. For a crown that cost over $2,000, I expected much better. Another thing that made me uncomfortable was being encouraged to buy a $150 mouthwash, along with comments about how we had "really good insurance." After my experience, I completely lost confidence in this office. I strongly recommend getting a second opinion before agreeing to expensive or irreversible dental work here.
