His staff are very warm and welcoming and you will certainly have a pleasant experience beginning the very moment you walk into the office. Thank God for Dr. Elmassian.

This review is for Dr. Elmassian only, not his staff! The ladies in the front are wonderful, so is…read morethe lady who does the cleaning as well as the other staff but my direct experience with Dr. Elmassian was awful for two reasons. One, after swabbing the numbing agent in my mouth Dr. Elmassian immediately injected me with the large needle of the anesthetic. IT HURT LIKE HELL! Typically dentists wait at least 1 minute before they use a needle on their patients after the inside of the mouth is swabbed. It was awful but he didn't seem to care that I was almost screaming and moaning in agony. Then while he did my procedure he talked very unprofessionally to his young female assistant who clearly was uncomfortable and laughing nervously throughout Dr. Elmassian's gossip about other people. She tried her best to act interested. I think Dr. Elmassian is clueless to a fact of life that Karma applies to everyone. Anyway, I will never go back there. Terrible experience!

Dr. Henriod is hands down the best doctor I've ever been to in my life!…read more When I came to Dr. Henriod I was in excruciating pain. I had cracked a tooth and my dentist had sent me to a root canal specialist. The root canal specialist tried to numb me twice but even after the second dose I was in extreme pain anytime he touched my cracked tooth. My mom had had a similar problem before and recommended me to Dr. Henriod who she really liked. When I came to Dr. Henriod, first of all the parking is SUPER easy and convenient. The office has its own private lot right in front of the building, so no worrying about trying to find parking or having to park in some garage and figure out how to get to the office. Secondly, the office itself is very comforting. The high ceilings and cozy atmosphere make you feel at ease when you are undoubtedly in pain. All of the office fixtures are well kept and clean and there's little touches like a coffee machine that really make the place feel welcoming. Next is the office staff. Dr. Henriod has some really great office staff who are not only friendly and helpful, but also intelligent and perceptive. I can't tell you how many dr.'s offices I've been to who are good doctors but the office staff is unfriendly and not pleasant to work with. Not Dr. Henriod's staff, they are all very welcoming and also great at explaining things and answering questions. I had to come in several times for my procedures and the whole process of scheduling appointments and rescheduling when necessary was always a pleasant one. One thing I really appreciated is that after my initial consultation, a staff member sat me in an office and walked me through line by line what the costs of my procedure would be for the implant. They were very upfront and transparent about the costs and there were no hidden fees or upsells or anything like that. They also were great about working with me to try to bill insurance so that my own personal costs would be lower. Finally, and most importantly, is Dr. Henriod's skill at what he does. For the amount of pain I was in, I can't imagine anyone else extracting my tooth. He is very personable and really gives off an aura that makes you feel comfortable entrusting him to do a good job. He very skillfully handled the entire procedure and his constant words of encouragement and communication with me really made the process more bearable. Even though I couldn't actually see my mouth, Henriod's motions just felt very practiced and precise, more than any dentist I've been to. Based on that experience alone I would recommend Dr. Henriod, but it doesn't stop there. After getting my tooth extracted, Dr. Henriod also put in an implant, which was a painful process but Dr. Henriod really made it the best it could be. After my implant was done he sent me to my own dentist to have a crown done. When the mold for the crown was being taken the process was very lengthy and uncomfortable. When the crown was put in the process was also difficult and the crown just felt "off" as it would move around a little when I chewed. Later on I started having a lot of pain in that area and I went back to my dentist who sent me back to Dr. Henriod who informed me that it had gotten infected because the crown was not in properly. Dr. Henriod gave me some meds to tame in infection then told me to come back to get a new implant done. When I came back the second time he said my gums actually looked okay and that I could just get a new crown, but rather than send me back to my dentist who botched my first crown he did it right there on the spot for free! I was shocked at I paid my dentist quite a pretty penny to do my crown. I wanted Dr. Henriod to do the crown either way and would have been happy to pay but when I left everyone just wished me the best and I was on my way. Here's the thing, when my dentist (who I've been going to for years and i've had many procedures done with and is very highly reviewed on yelp by the way) was doing my implant it just felt clunky and not smooth, but when Dr. Henriod did it it was quick and easy. Not just the part about putting in the crown itself, but also the process of taking the mold for the crown. Having that side by side comparison of the same procedure made me really appreciate how skillful Dr. Henriod is. Anyway, long story short, Dr. Henriod is a man of true character and I would trust him with anything. He offers a money back guarantee that if something happens with your procedure he'll re-do it for free, and he really backed that up in my case when he went above and beyond to fix what my dentist had messed up. If you are looking for a periodontist and can't decide where to go you need to stop searching and just go to Dr. Henriod.

The…read morefirst dentist I saw recommended pulling both teeth and replacing them with implants, which felt like a drastic and unnecessary step. Thankfully, I went to Dr. Meserkhani for a second opinion--and I'm so glad I did. He was able to save both teeth with root canals. Dr. Abrishami, the endodontist, performed the root canals, and the experience was surprisingly easy and painless. He's incredibly skilled and also very friendly, which helped me feel at ease right away. Throughout the process, Dr. Arbi Aboolian also worked on my teeth and was just as professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Everyone I interacted with made me feel confident I was in good hands. After the root canals, Dr. Meserkhani placed a crown on one tooth and a veneer on the other. The results are amazing--my front teeth look identical, natural, and beautifully done. Dr. Meserkhani is very detail-oriented, which I really appreciated since I'm quite particular about aesthetics. The staff were also so warm and welcoming. I've always felt anxious about going to the dentist, but this was the first time in over 30 years that I actually felt calm and comfortable. That says a lot about the care, professionalism, and friendliness of the entire team. I can't recommend Dr. Meserkhani, Dr. Abrishami, Dr. Aboolian, and their incredible staff enough!
