    Old school
    Tristyn H.

    Very friendly receptionist. Very nice experience making my appointment. Upon arrival, I was a little sketched out by the location. Not exactly the nicest part of west Hollywood. But my insurance is accepted her and I just need a cleaning. I enjoy the music they play here. Along with the decor I feel like I'm in the 1950's. For me, that's a compliment. I first met with the dr. And she asked if I would like X-rays. It's been a LONG while since I've be en to the dentist. "Does my insurance cover it?" Yes. Light me up! The dental assistant took my X-rays, she was quick and efficient. Found a couple of cavities insurance fully covers that too?? Excellent! Made an appointment three days later. Cavities fixed and Dr. Rita was very sensitive to my sensitivity. She took the time to make sure I was comfortable and had enough Novocain to sit through the procedure. Sure the place is a little rundown without a lot of the bells and whistles. But the service and accommodating nature of this office will keep me as a loyal dentist goer.

    MY WONDERFUL NEW SMILE !!
    Vortex R.

    I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart the staff and Dr, Metrikin for giving me my smile back. I am a 46 y/o male who recently moved to Venice, California two years ago to do some work in "the industry" as a on-camera host. I have had to wear full upper denture as the result from a car accident twenty years ago. I broke my current one and could not fly to Florida for another where I had the other made. I shopped around out here and after a very frustrating two months time all around I ended up at Dr. Metrikin's by accident. I am sooo glad I did. She eased me and told me I would have my gorgeous "Hollywood" smile back in no time and proceeded to focus on just and nothing else that. Being a happiness coach, my smile is the most important thing in my life. She had the quickest turn-around with no additional try in's than any other dentist I have had before her. They were also half of what other places quoted me. She did not try selling me additional services and would only let ME focus on one thing at a time as I am wanting implants soon. being new to California and seeing a dentist on almost every corner overwhelmed but I am so glad I ended up here. It is well worth the drive for me. They are always on time and sometimes early which is also UNBELIEVABLE to me out here so I tried to give the same respect. I TRIED I said.. They even understood my one time tardiness. They also cleaned up my lowers like they have never been before to match the tops. Long story short because I could go one, If you are looking for a great professional cosmetic team. THIS IS IT!! You can truly tell by the vibe of the place they care about you and not the money. I am not a long reviewer on here for time management purposes, so the fact that I am taking the time in my life to praise them like this with my extremely busy schedule says so much in itself. I am including a photo of my WONDERFUL teeth and can't wait for them to start my implant work. I will give an update on them laterr. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ! Sincerely, Richard Powelson Vortex Recovery

    Best dentist in LA, and also least expensive because she knows what she's doing. Also, works for the excellent periodontist.

    The location is not great and neither is the parking, but Dr Metrikin and her staff MORE than make up for it.

Now, as we live much farther away, we are still coming to Dr. Huang as he is the best. During these years Dr. Huang did beautiful fillings and crowns for us, and an oral surgery that was successful. I recently went to Dr, Huang to see if I needed to replace one of the old crowns that was installed about 20 years ago, and he determined that that crown was still in a good condition and didn't need to be replaced yet. I appreciate that Dr. Huang doesn't push for unnecessary procedures and always takes time to answer my questions. I remember the time when I called the reception with a question that only doctor could answer, so Dr. Huang gave me a call later in the day and answered my question. The Blue Pearl Dentistry staff is welcoming and helpful. We value Dr. Huang's knowledge, experience and mastery at his work, and look forward to continue having him as our family dental doctor.

My review didn't reflect my full experience, and I can't help but wonder how many of the other glowing reviews were motivated by the same gift card... Now that I've dealt with the billing side of this practice, I can confidently say my experience has not been five stars. Because of their billing practices, I no longer return to or recommend this office. Here's what happened: I came in for treatment and was quoted a price I thought I would pay. I agreed to the procedure based on that quote. Weeks later, I received a bill for $642.50 because my insurance benefits were apparently maxed out at the time of treatment. I was blindsided and felt trapped. I understand insurance can be complicated, but if I'd known the real out-of-pocket cost, I would have scheduled the work later when I could afford it. Instead, I had to pay the unexpected balance or risk it going to collections. Beware: the price they quote you may not be what you actually pay. This office also requires you to leave a credit card on file to book appointments -- you can't get around it (see attached text from the office). Given my experience, I strongly advise against leaving your card on file. Honestly just stay away from this practice altogether!

    I rarely write reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience so others can make informed…read moredecisions. After receiving treatment at this office, I was later contacted and asked to pay additional money beyond what I believed I owed. When I tried to understand the charges, I reviewed my insurance explanations of benefits and billing statements. During that process, my insurer, Delta Dental, required the office to issue refunds due to overbilling concerns. Even after those refunds were issued, the office later attempted to bill a procedure nearly a year after the original visit. This raised serious questions for me about the accuracy and timing of the billing. I also asked to review my dental records so I could better understand what occurred during my visits. In writing, I was told I would need to pay more than $2,500 just to review the records, otherwise I was told there were no records to review. That response was extremely surprising and made it very difficult to resolve the situation directly with the office. Because I could not get clear answers, I ultimately filed a complaint with the Dental Board of California so the matter could be reviewed independently. If you are a patient here, I strongly encourage you to carefully review your billing statements and insurance explanations of benefits. If something does not seem right, you may want to contact the Dental Board of California to report your experience so it can be looked into. Patients deserve transparency, accurate billing, and access to their own records.

When I arrived, I was told I'd have to pay $150 because I'm eligible tomorrow -- not today. No one informed me in advance. They had no problem sending multiple reminders about a $150 no-show fee, but somehow failed to notify me about an out-of-pocket charge. That's basic billing responsibility. On top of that, the office looked poorly managed. My 10:00 AM appointment wasn't called until 20 minutes later, while multiple patients were waiting. Two hygienists were chatting in the hallway instead of calling patients in. The hygienists also did not look presentable -- hair down and untied while working around patients' mouths, which is concerning from a professionalism and hygiene standpoint. Honestly, I'm almost relieved it didn't work out. The lack of communication, supervision, and professionalism was very clear. I will not be returning.
