As of last week, after he accidentally forgot to give me anesthesia and began drilling -- it was absolutely the end of my commitment to this Dentist. He didn't even say sorry for the fear and pain he caused at the beginning of the visit. He's cheap, doesn't want to hire staff. So he has his patients hold the water hose and other item while he's working on us. WTH! I was in so much pain after and when I called him to cancel my next appointment. I informed him that I was in so much pain after and now I'm really afraid to go back, he gave me attitude and said that he was going to be busy so I better come soon and call him back to book another day. No sympathy whatsoever for causing me pain and fear of future dentist procedures. I stayed committed to him for so long because its really hard to find new dentist and of course the proximity of my home to this office was convenient. But at this point, I'm no longer going to him. This is not the only incident, he's done this a few times and I always wondered why so much pain after the procedure --- even him cleaning my teeth was painful. No compassion for his patients whatsoever. Don't even bother going to him. Why support a dentist that truly doesn't care about how his patients feel. So save yourself from this pain --- avoid Dr. Burian!

I want my dentist to do his job well. I am not ever disrespected nor is he grumpy to me. He is semi retired at this point and dedicates himself to his patients. Otherwise he would no longer be in business. He does not have staff so he is often a little discombobulated if his wife is not there to help him with the phones. The upside to this is that his costs are low and his savings are passed down to us, his patients. He's well worth putting up with. I drive from San Francisco to see him still. And, he does my mother's dentures and all the difficult work she needs with poor gums. She adores him as well. He takes good care of our family and he does so for all his patients.

They refused to clean my teeth because by blood pressure was a bit high (3 points high). Well who isn't stressed by the dentist. Also there was a male doctor there named Scott? I wish I knew his last name but he said he could save my tooth and then proceeded to break it in half!! I ended up with an extraction and an implant . The only good folks left are the holdovers like Janice the receptionist/billing clerk and the surgical doctors like Dr Crohin, who are nice and normal. The rest of the practice is HORRID. Bad bedside manners and excessive talk about themselves when working on you. As soon as I get my tooth I am going elsewhere; and so are all my family members.

Dentist for life!

I feel confident I am getting the best dental care possible and it is obvious he loves his work! I can't recommend Dr. Bettinger enough!

The last time I saw Dr. Clerk, whose dental care I thoroughly enjoyed, and whose staff was…read morewonderful, 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.

After my nightmare with Dr. Haroun Rostami of Brentwood Dental Group, and Dr. Mahnaz Rashti, of…read moreBeverly Hills, CA (See my yelp reviews of these two "dentists".), I was recommended by another dentist friend of mine to Dr. Gordon Pattison. Dr. Pattison's office is conveniently located and contains state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. Dr. Pattison is extremely knowledgeable and generally more conservative than other dentists and periodontists I have met with. He only recommends services that you actually need and will not take advantage of you when you are in severe pain and most vulnerable, as would the two other dentists named above. My dental insurance did not cover Dr. Pattison's work, but I was happy to pay him for the excellent work he did, and his prices were more than reasonable. Dr. Pattison is a genuine professional who I would visit without hesitation, and especially in a dental emergency.

This was in the infancy of implants and I felt desperate! I went to Dr. Pattison and he literally worked a miracle on that tooth. He gave it so much special treatment and wizardry -- actually he was surprised and delighted at how the pocket closed up. He said," I can't guarantee anything but looks good . . ".I continued to see him 3 times a year and he would sometimes clean my teeth *himself* because he had certain things in mind. Super conservative, super attentive to detail. I am now 70 and I still have that tooth. 10 years ago I moved to Chicago and my mouth has really fallen apart from the crude, bad dentistry in this town. I only got to appreciate Dr. Pattison even more once I saw what the rest of the world was like! He is super honest. He is super skillful. He will do everything to save your natural mouth and avoid radical intervention. I miss him more than anything else in LA. And that is true. He also has an impeccable reputation with his peers and teaches (or did) at USC one of the top dental schools in the US.

This dentist is A LOT older than she looks like at her website. Because of this, her hands are not…read moresteady. Her prices are a lot higher than your typical dentist. Yes, her staff is NICE, but that only goes so far when she is pick-pocketing your wallet. If you can see through the aromatherapy and spa looking atmosphere, then you will realize that you're paying for all those little extras things. She also goes above and beyond to make you feel that you have more problems than you really do. Oh! what a coincidence, she can treat the problem that she was the only one in the entire world that was able to detect...GOOD FOR HER WALLET. Also, because she is the only dentist working there, her appointments are limited. She owns the building and her home (and only lives 5 minutes away), so why does she only take on 2-4 appointments a day...because she's OLD and over charges. So she can afford to rip you off with a smile. Also, she gives you a mug of her office (free advertisement for her) and makes you feel like you got it for free, but trust me, you PAID for the mug.

Dr. Soler was the third dentist I tried after moving to L.A…read more The first one was a guy out in Tarzana who had his practice for 40 yrs. It looked and smelled the same as the office in New Hampshire where I had my teeth cleaned in 1977. He browbeat me about my poor brushing habits (previous dentist had never objected). Ugh. Second one was a guy in Westwood who had an amazing high-tech cleaning machine that took about 20 minutes. But as soon as it was over, he started trying to sell me thousands of dollars of cosmetic work. Ugh. Then I went to Dr. Soler. Dr. Soler has her offices in a ivy-covered buliding in Atwater Village. It sort of looks like a day spa. I guess it kind of is a day spa, but for teeth. Dr. Soler did an extensive examination of my mouth and teeth before starting any work. She met with me and went over what was good, what were areas of concern, etc. That was four years ago. I still go there & recommend her to everyone. She & everybody in her office are great. Friendly, kind, and never ever judgmental if you didn't floss enough.
