Dr. Nicole Cheng was absolutely AMAZING throughout the entire process. She was so meticulous and took the time to make sure everything was done perfectly. Beyond her attention to detail, she's incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knows what she's doing. She graduated from UCLA and completed her orthodontic residency there as well (which is highly competitive) so you're truly in expert hands. On top of that, she's very genuine and transparent about pricing, which made me feel comfortable and never pressured. I trust Nicole completely for all of my orthodontic needs and couldn't recommend her more. If you're looking for someone who is skilled, honest, and truly cares about your results, she's the one.

I have never felt so comfortable and in such good hands. From the hygienist, to Dr. William Cheng, they were absolutely excellent. Best cleaning I have had, the hygienist was extremely kind and thorough. She was meticulous about getting all the stains and any buildup out. Plus they put TV's on the ceiling so when you're getting your cleaning you can watch Netflix. It's bright and airy in there and it's across from a beautiful green lawn! I extremely recommend this place, and I'm so happy I found my new dentist.

We did an X-Ray right away and it helped me understand where I am in terms of my root canal. This dentist truly does care about their patients and Dr. Steve is truly knowledge, genuine, kind, and caring! What a gem to have come across!

While reclining in the dental chair, my blood pressure was checked for the first time. I was informed by Sammy, the dental technician?, that this is a new procedure as the practice continues to update its protocols. My blood pressure was taken twice using a CVS store-brand cuff placed over a thick sweater. During the first reading, my arm was positioned hanging down at my side with my arm bent on the dental bed. I was not asked to rest it at heart level, nor was I seated with my feet flat on the floor, as is standard practice in most medical settings. The second reading was taken in the same manner, again over my sweater and arm hanging down. I slightly adjusted my arm position myself during the second attempt. Both readings were elevated, and I was told that my dental cleaning could not proceed. And...that's ok. What I found concerning is that upon returning home, I checked my blood pressure using two different machines BEFORE taking my medication. I took my sweater off, sat upright, feet on floor, and arm by chest/heart level. While my readings were elevated, they were SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the measurements taken at the dental office. If blood pressure readings are being used to determine whether routine dental care can proceed, it is important that staff are properly trained in correct blood pressure measurement techniques. To clarify, I do have high blood pressure, and my physician and I manage it carefully. In addition, I had not yet taken my medication prior to the dental appointment. However, my at-home readings were nothing comparable to those taken at the dentist. Had my blood pressure truly been as high as indicated at the dentist, I would have sought immediate emergency care, especially given that I am pregnant and aware of the seriousness such readings would pose. I am grateful that I rechecked my blood pressure at home for peace of mind. I even called my doctor, went in to the doctor's office, showed my doctor the sweater, explained how it was done...and my doctor said it was done incorrectly! *For transparency, a prior positive post about this practice was made after being offered a discount for doing so. At this point, I believe it may be time to seek care elsewhere.

Before my appointment, no one reviewed or explained the charges for my deep cleaning. I have dual PPO insurance, and I know deep cleanings are covered, yet I was still charged a significant out-of-pocket amount. I was never informed that a laser would be used, nor that it would be an additional charge per quadrant. I assumed it was part of the standard procedure. This was never discussed or consented to prior to treatment. Even more concerning, my son and I were separated and taken to different rooms, and they proceeded to do multiple fillings on my son without ever informing me how many were needed or asking for my consent. No one came to explain the treatment plan before starting, during my own procedure, or afterward. As a parent, this is completely unacceptable. At no point was I given a clear treatment plan or cost breakdown for either of us. Despite having dual insurance coverage, I was still charged $621 out of pocket. When I asked for an itemized receipt, I was told they could not provide one, which is a huge red flag. This office feels extremely money-driven, with poor communication and questionable consent practices. I truly regret not paying closer attention to the reviews before booking here. Transparency, consent, and trust are critical in healthcare--and this office failed on all three. Please avoid this place and protect yourself and your family.

You can read my review of the other place I went to, to compare my night and day difference of an experience. My experience began when I arrived here for a second opinion from another dentist that I went to the day before that I had a completely awful experience at. I was able to book an appointment, got sent instructions for parking and how to find the office and a nice confirmation. The process was so smooth compared to my last place. I also very much so appreciate the questionnaire they made me take where I could share my dental history and general feelings of the dentist. I think because of this the doctors definitely took note of my anxiety being in the office. Upon arrival I was checked in immediately and before I could even finish signing my papers I was already called into the room. Unheard of. I was here because I woke up to an extremely inflamed face that was causing toothache, nerve pinching, etc and I assumed it was from a tooth abscess (self diagnosed through google lol). Dr. Azy was the one who saw me, she was warm and patient while also acknowledging my concerns. If you looked at my face you could see right away something was wrong with how swollen I was. The dental assistant took my x-rays and then she began my examination immediately after. Unlike the other location I went to, she was very careful about how she probed my face and always checked in to see if I was ok or feeling pressure. She even acknowledged that she didn't want to do too much to cause me more pain and explained what she thought it might be and even explained to me how the medications I got prescribed by the previous doctor would help (I got zero explanations from the other place and was almost taking them blindly) I got sent out with follow up instructions and scheduled another check in visit. Even after my visit Dr. Azy called and texted me personally to check up on me. It was so thoughtful and kind and really made me feel like someone actually cared about what was happening to me. Eventually my swelling went down and things completely healed, I came back for my checkup and was able to schedule additional services with them that I was due for: a cleaning and some cavities. I was told I need a deep clean from the other office and here they told me I didn't, I was also quoted for 2 additional cavities at the other place and had less here. I didn't have dental insurance but learned that they have their own in house dental insurance and I chose to go that route just from the experience I had. To follow up I eventually went to my third appointment and was seen by Dr. Nasiry. I really wanted to be seen by Dr.Azy just bc of the comfort I had with her but Dr.Nasiry and team took amazing care of me. From the welcome, injections, procedure, etc everything was done with such grace and kindness. Halfway through the process she could tell I was getting a bit anxious and she paused to give me a break without me even asking. The dental assistant that assisted was also amazing. He really took the time to make sure I had everything I needed and thoroughly explained everything before which really helped with my anxiety. If you are looking for a dental office that truly cares and feels like a well oiled machine I would highly recommend this clinic. It is absolutely one of the best dental offices I've experienced and that's coming from someone who would avoid a dentist like a black plague if she could. I look forward to my next visits now knowing that I'm going to be taken care of and not dismissed just because of my anxiety. I 10/10 would recommend both Dr. Azy and Dr.Nasiry in a heartbeat!

Yesterday, I had an amazing experience while getting my teeth pulled. Dr. Kalasho did lovingly "scold" me, but it came from a place of genuine care and concern. I truly felt like a VIP--watching Netflix with a weighted blanket, under-eye patches, and even provided reading glasses so I could relax comfortably while enjoying my movie. This morning, I woke up with no pain, just some expected soreness in my jaw, but no discomfort in the treated area. I was even able to go to work without any issues. A huge thank you to Misha, Dr. Kalasho, and the entire team for checking in on me, making sure I was comfortable, offering water, and ensuring I didn't doze off. Your care and kindness mean so much!

I had no problems with the work done, or at least I though so.. In the spring of 2025, I went for a checkup, and Dr Kalasho was on leave and her replacement told me I developed another 2 cavities... just a few months after the original cavity was fixed. I couldnt believe my ears and I agreed to fix it. However, they had just closed the Hollywood office, and the closest location would have then been in Beverly Hills and I had no interest in visiting not even once. And I didnt have time to look for a new denist in the area. Fast forward to the spring 2026, I went to 2 different reputable denists in the area and they both said I had no cavity in that tooth.. I was in awe. Questions came flashing back.. Why every time did I have to sign the waiver 10x longer and more specific than at other denist's I have gone to? Why I was charged 5k for a crown that another denist said did not have that u-shape that teeth have to block most of the food in between the teeth? Was it as bad as I was made to believe? I don't know. But my suspicious makes sense. The office and the equipmennt that looked better than I have seen in Hollywood movies. Friendly chit-chat WITH LITERALLY EVERYONE in the office. Talking about families, sharing personal stories, laughing together. And then the friendly by the way reminder.. Do you want to prepay? Let's take care of this bill right away etc etc. At the end of the day, however, I couldnt shake the feeling how forced the interactions appeared. Too good to be true, fake. Well.. now, I know for sure.
