This is one of Doctor D.D.S Tsibel other offices. He has several others I go to but I just found out this one was closer to me so I made an appointment for a deep cleaning instead of going to his Cypress, Bellflower, or his Long Beach office. The staff, Janira, Jessica, Kristina, and Priya were amazing. They made me feel very comfortable being it was my first time at this location. They were prompt in starting my paperwork and prepping me for my service. I had a great time joking around with them and they embraced it. I will be coming back to this location for future services. The quality of care they gave me was outstanding and I felt secure. I was in and out in less than an hour which I loved. Note: Plenty of parking in the rear of the location. read more

Recently came in and had my six month check up and cleaning. The care of quality was phenomenal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. Morris answered all my questions and explained to me the importance of coming in for routine check ups and FLOSSING.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The hygienist Kristine is very thorough and has hands of an angel.

I came in with my two young children (ages 8 and 10) for a routine cleaning and orthodontic consultation, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish. The office felt outdated and run-down, it's in serious need of an upgrade. There were wires from old equipment scattered on the floor, creating a cluttered and unsafe environment. There was no central air, just a loud window AC unit that made it difficult to hear anything the staff was saying. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff performing the cleanings were not welcoming and came across as rude and impatient with my children.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The cleanings felt rushed, it took her 45 min to do the cleaning and X-rays for both children. She took longer with the imaging than she did the cleanings. That's a record! I asked if I could accompany my children into the room, but there wasn't even a place to sit, was left standing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When doctor Sedghi came in after the cleanings to do the oral evaluations, Lack of communication from her part, unwelcoming atmosphere and made me feel like I shouldn't be there[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. This dental office is lacking in basic customer service and professionalism. We will not be returning. read more

I have had over $12,000 of work done here since 2020: extractions, implants, and root canals. Today my implant became loose and eventually came unscrewed, I text them and they text it would be $65 to put back in. Upon getting there that charge became $175. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I don't think I will be coming back here. there should be no charge to re screw their own product.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm not a happy camper.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The office was clean and modern, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. Jessica is a breath of fresh air - she helped me overcome my anxieties.

South Pasadena Dental - I'm nervous haha - General Dentistry Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Update: the fillings will all need to be redone by my primary dentist bc the work was done subpar... aka not filled correctly. One filing is lifting the other does not allow for proper flossing. What a nightmare Again stay away from this place. On July 14, 2022 at 1600 I had an appointment with Dr. Misak Sardis Shnorhavorian after he diagnosed me with four Cavities. Upon my arrival I was greeted and seated by someone who identified themselves as the dental hygienist. I was numbed with Novocaine bilaterally and immediately formed swelling on the left side of my mouth The hygienist went to get Dr. Shnorhavorian who looked at me and stated, "Oh are you not feeling good today? Sometimes anesthesia can have that effect if you aren't feeling well." As I responded, " I am feeling fine." He went on to say, "you must be having an allergic reaction to the Novocaine." As a Registered Nurse I knew this was NOT the case because the swelling was unilateral and not bilateral, which I told Dr. Shnorhavorian. He then stated, "Well it looks like a hematoma ... super rare...it will go away within 24 hours don't worry." Immediately, I should have seen these responses, lack of empathy, and the lack of skill when injecting Novocaine as red flags... However, as a patient you trust your practitioners to do no harm. You trust them to acknowledge mistakes, and assist a patient when complications arise. This was not the case at South Pasadena Dental Group. As I left the office my face was completely swollen. The next day came around and the swelling was worse. My cheek was tender and I had pain to the touch.I reached out to Dr. Shnorhavorian and his text message stated, " Hello. I was informed that you're still swollen. Best thing to do at this stage is go to urgent care for further evaluation. You can also apply ice to the area if it is worsening. Avoid heat" I was shocked at that response. What would an urgent care do? What am I supposed to tell them? This was clearly a dental matter that required evaluation. After much back and forth with the office they got me in touch with Dr. Tsabel. At that point I no longer wished to speak with or deal with Dr. Shnorhavorian. His lack of empathy to my concern was disgusting. Dr. Tsabel assured me the swelling would go away within a week.. that "time was the cure". After 7 days I was still swollen and walking around with a temporary facial disfigurement. I reached out to Dr. Tsabel and requested 1. My $147 out of pocket to be returned 2. To be refunded the $562 my insurance was charged 3. The office to cover any expenses related to care I would need for this hematoma. I NEVER heard back. In my opinion, these requests are not unreasonable. I'm not asking for anything other than my money back and the office to cover any bills I incurred for something that was their fault. On July 21st I was desperate for an evaluation. I sought out help from a Periodontist who did state time would help rid of the hematoma BUT to facilitate healing they offered Laser Bio Stimulation 3 consecutive days and sent me home w a four day course of Arnica pills to take morning, afternoon, and evening. My pain and swelling was significantly better. I was told I was way beyond applying ice (as Dr Tsabel had stated) and I should apply moist heat every 3-4 hours. Why couldnt South Pasadena Dental Group offer this care??? The office got back to me after i wrote a formal email complaint and denied my request stating they think "quality" treatment was provided. They were willing to refund my out of pocket cost as a "token of consideration". In addition they stated a hematoma "is not uncommon" however every dental office I reached out to for evaluation said they have never heard of such a thing happening for dental fillings. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. WAY BETTER DENTAL OFFICES EXIST IN SOUTH PASADENA AND IN PASADENA. The only + thing I have to say is Jessica from reception was super sweet and did always help to try and connect my calls in the back and forth dealings w the office. read more

I never write yelp reviews, but as they say, when you have a really bad experience, it's time to say something. I saw a female dentist who was completely incompetent for years at this place. I take good care of my teeth, come in every 6 months for my cleanings, etc. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The hygienist at south Pasadena dental is great and I'll miss her.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But basically this is why I decided to try a new dentist and am glad I did: the dentist was telling me I grind and that I needed an expensive mouth guard. So I went to another place to get a second opinion because I wasn't having symptoms like a sore jaw in the morning. The second opinion dentist looked and said I definitely don't grind, BUT that I do have a filling that is rotting. It's been that way for at least a year. I'm so angry that south Pasadena dental missed this for so long. Instead of doing her job she was trying to upsell me on an expensive mouthguard for an issue I don't even have. Do yourself a favor and go see Dr.Lam at Dentists of South Pasadena. read more

South Pasadena Dental - Post-filling, hard to even spot what was filled! :) - General Dentistry Near Me - South Pasadena, California

I came in today as a new patient. I was at the office over two hours. They took forever with their "premium process" taking x ray. Then they took their time trying to get a deep cleaning. I came in to have my cracked teeth fixed. They gave a regular cleaning which is a joke. They should have done better than that. After two hours of their premium processing, they had the nerve to ask me if I wanted a filling. They WASTED my time. If I knew it will take all day, i would never made an appointment with them. They are not effective with their services. I see like four different people in two hours. This is bullshit. I grew up using dentist all of the time. I finally have an insurance and I get beat around with their services. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Michael for my dental care for several years. I've needed quite a bit of work , and I always feel well informed, and taken care of. Carlos had great energy and it's clear he knows what he's doing. Tiffany and Janira are also great, along with all the office staff. read more

Terrible, the invisalines, were never quite fitted properly, teeth ended up with a big space between top and bottom, like buck teeth...yay! Dr. Mc Clendenin tho nice enuf (but always an hour late) never caught the error while it was happening. The lady who comes in during your appointment to talk money, wanted me to pay an extra thousand to correct the invisaliner situation. Fillings have come out, and had/have to be redone. and one on the side of teeth the lady made in a " lovely" shade of grey... grey!! Its a pain to have to go in then correct stuff over and over. FYI, I would not recommend this place at all. I will find an ace read more

Wonderful dental experience. The office is pristine and very nicely decorated, with calming decor. The staff Jessica, Janira & Tiffany are personable and caring. The equipment is state of the art. Dr. Michael is an exceptional dentist, he eases the concern and anxiety of being in a dental chair. He explains exactly what he is going to do and is very gentle, I did not experience any pain during the procedure. Dr. Michael exudes such kindness and compassion, I will be recommending him to everyone I know. read more

I have been nothing but pleased by my experiences at So Pasadena Dental. I am typically a big chicken when it comes to dental work but they make me feel so comfortable. Dr Michael is a saint!! I am so grateful for his care. The whole office staff is wonderful including (especially) Carlos, Jessica, Janica, and Tiffany. read more

You might see my review below, but this one requires a whole separate review. The dentist (who I know the name, but out of respect will not reveal) who did my root canal and crown, unbeknownst to me, left a gap between my crown and root canal, which then got a cavity. I was then sent all the way to Long Beach to their endodontist. He informed me that I had an infection, which they say was not caused by the cavity, but I'm not sure how else an infection can occur. I have another root canal and crown which is doing just fine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The office has said that the endodontist will call me two separate times, but he has never called me, AND this has been since FEBRUARY and I am still without the crown!!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only call at this point I want to receive is that they will pay to get it fix their mistake! You would think that you want a dentist office to have at least 4-5 stars. Definitely not recommending them to anyone!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice office staff though![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I needed an emergency extraction on my wisdom teeth and South Pasadena Dental were able to help me with a same day appointment! I was helped by Susie who was super sweet and patient.

Super helpful group of people even the receptionist was super kind. read more

Ok when I was 18 I had to have the front top 4 crowned. They told me then I had soft teeth. Lol like my mom but she had both sets of dentures by age 19. Anyway I went to the dentist @10 I had 11 fillings He did them all the same day. Because of the plastic thing over my mouth I ended up with blisters all around my mouth needless to say I never went back till I need to. I'm really hoping Dr mike is going to be ok. I'm terrified and I'm 62 years old. read more

I had an unpleasant experience with Priya. I could tell that she's new, I asked her if she was and she lied to my face and said no. She has was in the worst mood and she could've done a better job with the cleaning. This review is well-deserved for people to know read more

The dentist ended up cutting the side of my mouth with a drill so bad that I had to get stitches. I now am left with a permanent scar next to my mouth and my lip shape is misaligned. On top of that, the doctor had an attitude towards my father because of his concern of the wound. I had to go to two different doctors afterwards to figure out possible solutions to the scar that was left behind. The good reviews might be a lot and it's what sold me to check this place out but gosh, I regret ever stepping foot into this place. read more

Highly recommended !!! I have anxiety about going to the dentist ,after the visit Jessica,Tiffany, janira are amazing made me feel comfortable everyone is extremely friendly and respectful. Thank you south Pasadena dental. Vanessa read more

I've been going back and forth with myself about writing this review, mainly because I wanted to just forget about the experience and move on...but it just sticks with me. Not to get too personal, but because it's relevant to the story - I've been dealing with a lot of depression from grief and other things, which caused me to make a lot of bad decisions about my health, physical; mental and dental. And though I was dealing with pain, cavities, a lot of needs...A large part of my delay was caused by my shame and embarrassment about just how little I was doing to take care of myself, and it was just a repeated cycle. After about a year and a half. I realized my pain and issues weren't getting any better, and that I needed to take care of things before they got worse, so I got dental insurance and waited a month for it to become active and made an appointment with this dental office. When I went in, the dentist (I honestly don't know his name, I was so bothered) made me feel so embarrassed, judged, and disgusting :(. With a grimace on his face the whole time he evaluated me, He said things like: "Did you floss at all?...well I can tell you haven't" "You're going to need ALOTTTTTT of work" (proceeds to sigh and shake his head) After they handed me a $7000 estimate, I left there and went to sit in my car, and I shed a tear. I am not a super emotional person, but the whole situation really made me feel...like shit - and put me back in that place of shame to where I didn't go see another dentist for a month. I got new insurance with more coverage and seeing a much more understanding and kind dentist. There's nothing wrong with honesty, but you can be honest and empathetic at the same time. read more

See review on page from Murline Holmes. On June 16 2023 I dropped in to get my braces adjusted by Annie in Orthodontics at South Pasadena Dental in beautiful South Pasadena, CA . I always feel at home when I have my appointments. Stop by at 1140 Fremont and have Dr. Harold C. McClendon and Annie Check you teeth and gums. Also try coming at least every two months for a cleaning. Try to avoid tooth decay and pain by coming in often for a check up and fillings if needed. read more

Great staff Receptionist, Janira , Tiffany, and Elisa great made me feel welcomed Doctor, Morris, friendly guy didn't force anything on me did this job , I was in and out in no time .

Kristine the hygienist was amazing, took painless xrays, had one of the best cleanings, she was extremely thorough and gave great oral hygiene instructions to follow at home. Will definitely be coming back read more

Two years ago, I had a crown placed on a tooth that was giving me issues. It wasn't a smooth process and they charged me an arm and a leg, but I just wanted to get it done. They were close by and available. There was lingering pain but eventually it went away and I forgot about it. They also overcharged me and it took them a week to get a check back to me to compensate. Based on this alone, I wouldn't have recommended this place to anyone I cared about. But lo and behold, two years later, I find out from my current dentist that the pain I've been experiencing for the past two days is because I have a root infection because the crown installed was not properly sealed and stuff I've been eating has been sleeping under the crown and into my gums. So now I have to get a root canal. Zero stars. I don't write reviews normally but I want to warn everyone - don't go here. I felt very much like I was just another payday to them and now I know for certain what I suspected, that they did a shoddy job, which is something you NEVER want from your dentist. Thanks for nothing, South Pasadena Dental. read more

Crooks tell you that you need work you don't . Then try to scare you in to a "treatment plan"" ! Stay far away

Dr Michael Shnorhavorian is the best. Always attentive, knowledgeable, and thorough, and I've been seeing him for several years. He'll always advise you on what you need and why. The staff and hygienists are great as well and very friendly! Everyone I've referred has had a great experience as well. read more

I simply could not wait to write this review. Dr. Michael Shnorhavorian, Carlos and Tiffany made me smile again! Tears flooded when they gave me the mirror to check their work, totally overwhelmed! I have gum issues and tooth loss, fractured front teeth and overall anxiety whenever someone attempts to take a picture, since forever. Coupled with not finding a dentist that I trusted (procedure, chair-side manner and cost) this team has been a lifesaver for me and I am smiling again! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! Absolutely life-changing. For those that are considering dental procedures, Dr. Michael is at this location on Wednesdays and Thursdays. read more

Very interesting location for a dental office. Everyone there was great Dr. Michael, Janira, Jessica, office manager, Tiffany, thanks for your great service. I have been to many dental offices and this location and everyone who works there were great. I highly recommend this location because I know it's hard to find an honest dental office you can trust for the work you need to do and the pricing. The pricing and the breakdown for the work that needed to be done was simple and understanding and on point. read more

Buyer beware. My father and I had work done by Dr. Seghi at a friend's recommendation--it was terrible to say the least. It was by far the most painful dental work either of us have ever gotten--done with such a heavy hand and at such speed you would think it was some sort of race. The additional dental work 'recommended' was akin to a bad experience at a shady used car dealership. Pressure, pressure, pressure. Needless to say, the extra work (fillings) was questionable and upon inspection by another dentist, done with very poor quality that did not actually resolve the problem at hand. I now have four fillings for 'cavities' that I doubt were ever there. My biggest regret was not sticking to my instincts and simply saying 'no thanks.' read more
