20 Best Dental Hygiene Programs In Los Angeles, CA (2022 Updated)

My Business Administration Management class was amazing, I learned so much and I am carrying it with everywhere I go. Some people do not like it and so do. My instructor was so brilliant and I am so proud and thankful for him. With his support and all of SJVC workers, instructors, and all around everyone, I was able to get threw this pandemic we are still having and graduate with a 4.0 and being on the deans list. I am thankful for you all. Anyone who wants to go to college for Business or just in general, go to SJVC. They got you covered and they support your every step and decision. They help you become ready for excellency and, help you find a job that you will love and if that job doesn't work out for you they will go over and above to help you succeed and find a position you want and love. Again I want to thank you SJVC for everything and I will be seeing you again soon.Alisha Gonzales

I'm in the midst of the program and just love it!! The teachers and staff are fantastic and it feels like they have become my extended family. They care and want you to succeed. They offer many resources to help if you hit a road block. It's a very professional environment and they continue to train you on maintaining professionalism. I have learned so much in the 3 months I've been attending thus far and look forward to all the things I'll continue to learn. I'm thankful for SJVC, with their help my goals are becoming a reality.Jamie Carroll

Attending SJVC has been a wonderful experience for me. The overwhelming support, love and time that everyone spends on their students is immeasurable. My instructor Dr. Warman is an angel. He is hands on with his students and checks on us outside of class. He is very dedicated, supportive and relates to us in many ways. I appreciate his hard work and commitment to his students. Means the world to me. I am thankful to be apart of such an amazing school and I'm looking forward to getting my certificate.Krystal Mcguffie

If you are a Veteran and want to attend this school I recommend you don't. I personally have had multiple issues with communication with the school as well as obtaining an appointment with their one VA counselor. My appointment was made a month and a half out mainly because that specific date was the only day that would work for me. I was suppose to walk in at 4 pm to see the counselor. Mind you I called earlier that day to confirm my appointment, even received an email notification confirming my appointment. They told me they accidentally double booked, but to come in anyways and they will just squeeze me in. Came in at 350 PM checked in the front desk looked confused, I explained the situation and I didn't get seen until 5:45 PM I had a final for speech class at 6 PM. If you decide to take online classes be careful you could end up like me log in and check the course the first day of the semester in this case July 19th 2017 at 8:55 AM and see that there are no notifications or assignments post yet. Log in that Friday still having issues to find out you got dropped that Wednesday for not being active in the course. I logged in that Monday to do the Class work knowing that my other class kept me busy tues, wed, thurs. All just to find out that your email was jacked because of the conversion they did in spring, therefore getting locked from your account. I do not recommend this school or the school district it has only been a constant uphill battle for me and to many stressful occurrences. Attend a Cal State or Cal University.Cody

I have been trying to see a counselor, and so far I have come to the counseling department more than five times. Anytime I went there, they said that there are a lot of students so go come back tomorrow at 8:00 am. When I went there at 8:00 am the next day, they said oh we don't do walk ins, you can go today, but for tomorrow give us a call to confirm if there is any counselor available. I did call them the day before coming they said yes come around 8:00 am you will for sure see a counselor, I got there at 8:00 am, but unfortunately again they said that there are a lot of students and they only have one counselor. I don't know what game do they play with students, I missed going to work for 3 days, and it seems that I might not be able to take any classes this summer just because of not being able to see a counselor. I request the authorities of this nice college to pay attention to this problem, and find some possible ways of solution since the students need to have updated Educationan Plans.Tawfiq Sediqi

This college is a freaking mess and very unorganized!!!! Fist visit, they told me counseling was open until 4:30pm. Got there at 3:34pm and said they stop at 3pm. They told me to come back tomorrow and they will do counseling till 4pm. I got early from work the nex day, and when I get to the counseling office, they said they are not doing counseling today! They tell me to come back tomorrow. They couldn't take appointments because they were too busy that week. I come back the next day, my job let me get off early again, when I get to the counseling they tell me their system is down! They tell me to come back on Saturday for the event. They tell me counseling and student services will be open. I'm here at the counseling at 10am, they freaking tell me no counselors today, they are only taking picture for IDS !!!! This is the worse experience I had. Very unprofessional, not organized!!!! I'm very upset!!!!!Miriam Gal

I was a student back in 2018. Came back for the spring 2022 semester, and the "president" Ms.Katrina VanderWoude, has ran this place directly into the bottom of the barrel. I remember when President Larry Frank was here. Good times. He was amazing. I never seen the problems I see now when he was here. Anyone else would have handled the pandemic better than VanderWoude. This used to be my favorite school, I was always saying to family and friends how much I loved trade tech. Well that time has passed. The outside of campus is filthy, the sheriffs are rude, they don't open the gates in the morning as they should, website is hardly updated, bookstore is garbage, no help for students in terms of supportive services etc. Its no wonder enrollment is low. LACCD can blame Ms.VanderWoude for that. The only upside is the professors. And yes I am fully aware Ms.VanderWoude is "Dr" but since lacks respect for students and staff then I will lack respect for her. Trade tech is my home school but I will be switching it to ELAC. That campus has surpassed trade tech in every possible way and I love going there for classes. I hope VanderWoude gets replaced soon for the sake of the campus.Karina Gomez

I am currently in the third semester taking the carpentry program. Los Angeles Trade Technical College is a great school. October will be 3 years that I have been attending this college. I also got my GED through Trade Tech.The majority of the professors and staff are very respectful and kind. Update I finished the carpentry program and found a job in the construction field with great pay. I would definitely recommend Los Angeles Trade Tech Technical College to someone that wants to learn a trade or just take some classes. If you do decide to go put all your effort in your studies it will pay off.Michael Valdez

The first time I come to Taft College for a first time college tour with my mom and dad. I really love it because everything is over me then far away. It was really great meeting Ms Victoria Wang for the first time when I come for my first ever tour with Taft College. I did my first ever a College interview with 4 Committee people they we talking to me. I am very nervous of about my second interview for Taft College how will it go like last time interview. I praying and crossing my finger they I will Accepted to Taft College on August 2020 or August 2021 but it really most likely will be August 2021 because of the Novel Covid 19. Hopefully that’s an impact new students coming in so students can be able to move in without no problems and have to be send back home. I am really sad they I wasn’t able to go to Taft College just for my first time interview with the Committee from Taft College but it was completely closed Only for administrators to be able to get Pay hours. *When I left Taft College on the way home I was really ready to move in but I was too early because I have to do the full application and send in the mail to Taft College to go over it and let me know if I am accepted to have my 1st interview with the Committee from Taft College I broken down in tears because I was super hard talking of about it without crying more and more. *I was really helpful to do a trial run on Zoom for Ms Jessica White Replace Ms Victoria Wang because she is no longer working I have a retired from Taft College but I didn’t meet her in person just on Zoom I want like to meet her face to face one day after I’m accepted as a college student at Taft College 🙂SweetSydney25

I've enjoyed my experiences with Taft College. The Advisor Ms. Casablanca is such a sweet helpful individual,I don't feel rushed when we met, and said i could reach out to her via email anytime I had questions-how awesome is that? I can call the counseling office and get quick questions answered right away, and I feel like me and the college share the same goals for myself and graduation. They send email notifications for upcoming dates and offers explanations for decisions made (for example, the priority registration email explained how it is calculated and how the groups are divided up). I've only taken online classes, but all the teachers Ive had so far have been very open to questions and seem to have good attitudes. The also offer career study groups and business admin meeting groups, and they continue to grow in possibilities. With BC I always felt like I was just another body getting pushed through all the processes, with my paper always getting lost, and constantly being required to see the counselor for the smallest questions. With Taft I've felt more like a priority, and I feel more organized and confident in the classes I take towards my degree.Alejandra Durand

The court reporting program is horrible. It is not even held at Taft or regulated by Taft. NONE of the staff are licensed court reporters or have ever held a license. They are not knowledgeable in the field. They are highly unorganized and unprofessional. The program director and local court reporters claim this is one of the best programs in the nation. That is completely false and can be verified through the California Court Reporter’s Association website. This school has the lowest retention and pass rate in California.K. Faraday

Finally getting to go to college Cypress college is a perfect fit for one I know the area quite well and the ladies in the financial aid department were so helpful they were more than eager to find out any and all blocks that were happening that was preventing my semester to start and corrected it right away Cypress college has so many classes so many organizations that actually help people within the community whether it be for shelter food medical schooling clothing counseling and if they do not have what you're looking for they will get the information to get you to the proper place I witnesses good people at that college I'm proud to go thereJackie Ray Bass

I applied 7/23 and never received an email containing my student I’d. And yes I checked my junk mail. I emailed admissions per my acceptance email after not receiving my student id after 5 business days. Received an automated email saying someone would respond within 48 hours. NOTHING. Tried their “virtual drop in counseling’ and the page is not accessible. Called the college on a Thursday and get a beeping tone. Totally unprofessional. I’m guess the college is closed? Or they don’t have the tools to properly run a college? This is my WORST experience enrolling in a college ever!!!Brooke Bennett

I love Cypress College, I've almost finished my GE and I've only had one teacher that wasnt so great. The campus is safe and beautiful. The counselors are very nice and helpful. They have a financial aid office that is also very nice and helpful. I plan on transferring from Cypress College and go to Biola. So far, my experience has been great. Today, there was free lunch that was given out! I feel that Cypress College does it's best to serve their student thoroughly.Joy Hong

I transferred here because it offered a program I wanted to take. The first time, the class was canceled due to there being not enough sign ups. Fine. That was Spring and now we’re in the Fall semester. Once again, the class was canceled. It was canceled 1 week before the 2nd session was to start. I now only have 2 classes (a 3rd one was dropped because it overlapped the class that was eventually canceled). My teacher is cool so, no complaints. My online class…. it takes my teacher 2-3 weeks just to grade your work. I’ve done online classes at other schools and was graded within the week. I’m going back to my previous school. Just going to have to change my concentration.Jarmaine M

I chose this college because it was ranked as one of the top ten community colleges in California for online courses. Diversity is great, many certificates and degrees offered, and the counselors I’ve spoke with over the phone were polite and helpful. They wait until more than a month into the semester to process student loans – and the form should specify that it’s for the year. I filled it out thinking it was only for the semester. No return emails from financial aid in the matter. Overall I would recommend WLAC, but their admissions and financial aid offices need to work on responding to students.Jason G

The school was okay. The admission office is terrible. I enjoyed the professors they have great ones. Working here was bad there’s nepotism and favoritism allowed. The staff isn’t the nicest I think student should be respected a bit more and heard. As an employee here I know I tried to help as many students sincerely. The process needs to be more efficient. My experience here as a student worker was negative. As a student was okay because the right people guided me. I see other students were lucky enough to be treated well.Natalia Garcia

Graduated here in 2018. Yes the school is not perfect. but it is affordable and offers all sorts of academic programs for students & for those who are interested in learning a new skill. A few issues with the homeless people who easily make their way in the school's restroom and leave all their mess inside. A bit more security is also needed because of the area surrounding the school, but overall it's a good community college. Looking back now, I miss every moment I got to spend here. Class of 2018 !Ricardo Perez

Hello the college is full of students that live in the street and city is trying to make new parking structures but people can't afford rent payments. The next subject I want to talk about is the LA City Clerks office is hiring in November hopefully the election makes it better for independent voters to work more and help the community. Business administration can make changes in your life when you need accounting done but what about mechanical gang activities who will fight against immigration?Miguel Gutierrez

I graduated spring 2022 and is the best experience in my life. 2014 to 2016 the services are bad. When they build the student services building 2017 They are improving till now and a lot of students go there to enroll very good service now than before. I recommend to all students to take this college is a good.reel Woo

Adventist Health Center is conducting a Vaccine center at The Glendale Community College in the parking structure at the top of the hill right off of the 2 Fwy Off the Mountain exit. The staff are very helpful. There is very clear and strict mandates on masks and health protocols. Please follow signage and bring your masks. You will need your ID for check in. The nurses are very helpful and many of them have worked in the ER with patients and have seen the effects of the pandemic. So most of them are very happy to administer the vaccine and help prevent the spread of this terrible disease. We are all so happy to share the change in the world and grow together. There is Hope and these are the people that are here to spread that hope. 3👍🏼’s out of 3👍🏼’s the staff and Nurses are very helpful and thoughtful.SEAN GONZALES

Theres an old Armenian blonde lady in Financial Aid office with glasses, shes honestly and honestly the rudest person ive ever seen in my entire life. I dont know what was going on in her life that moment but she did not help me whatsoever to give her drop off my fafsa documents about academic appeal that I received from the outstanding counselor here in GCC. The fafsa that lady referred me to find a random person to help me upload the documents into the website which she didnt even told me what website to upload to. She had the worst attitude ive ever seen. I felt so uncomfortable that moment that I didnt feel safe for being around herArmo ArmemianHumor_

Love this school, but parking isn't great when a new semester starts. They do have tons of it, just isn't enough. Covid changed the parking issues, now there is parking galore.Carolina Ramirez

Two years ago I had the good insight of enrolling in Concorde's PTA program. The program is run by knowledgeable Physical Therapists invested in quality education (Mary, Sam, Laura, Kelly, Dennis). They provided me with the necessary tools to start a new career and enter the work force feeling competent with my skills. The school has a department dedicated to assist graduates find a job, Alvy has personally helped me with this, he even rendered a mock interview so that I would show up to a possible employer as a strong and coherent candidate. Because the program is so well organized (from prerequisites to clinical rotations and even when/how to signing up for your board test!) it is easier to have a balance school/personal life. And when you approach the school, Karl, the security officer at the entrance, is the most welcoming and kind person that will ever open a door for you.Yawi Griffini

My experience at Concorde has truly been astounding. I joined the Medical Assistant program and my teacher Ms Tameka was nothing short of a great instructor. She was very patient, compassionate and dedicated to ensuring that every student learned even if it meant staying late or adapting the way she presented materials.The Financial staff Eva and Peetee were very efficient in handling my paperwork so that I could dedicate my focus to studying and be successful. Upon completion my graduate employment specialist Rocky was a true rockstar. I had no faith in using their services but this guy was very helpful in making sure my resume was top notch and that I was interview ready and confident enough to land jobs and ask for the money I deserved. I am very thankful for all of the staff at Concorde for helping me to be a success in the healthcare field today!Neshia B

I attended Concorde Career College for the Medical Assistant Program and after completing, I am now a graduate!. After completing my externship, Rocky Ramirez who is our graduate employment specialist assisted me with my resume and employment opportunities. Not only was Rocky very helpful but he goes above and beyond on ensuring that his students are fully prepared for the next step. He was always available when I needed his help, always checking in to see how things are going. You can definitely count on him for anything. Thanks to rocky, I am now employed! He surely does the best job with helping each one of his students at Concorde! :)) Thank you again Rocky!!Gabriella De Soto

Deep disappointment and anger with the service at the emergency room department. We checked in about 15 minutes before 4pm, and were told that only one parent can accompany our daughter for the visit. About ten minutes later I saw a white husband and wife leaving the emergency room with their child, both of whom had a visitors badge/sticker affixed to their shirts. I brought this up to the security guard and check in counter and was told again that only parent can accompany the child. I felt I had been singled out and prejudged, and others were getting preferential treatment. About one hour after checking in, a nurse came and took our infant daughter's temperature and found it to be 104 F. This constitutes an emergency situation, in fact the nurse indicated that seizures can happen when temperature reaches 104 F, but a doctor did not tend to her for another 3 hours. What is the purpose of an emergency room if not to tend to health emergencies? A 104 fever for an infant is an emergency. We are lucky that her condition did not become worse. All told we were at Childrens hospital for 5 hours, leaving around 9pm, and all staff members we dealt with, including security, check in staff, and nurses, were generally cold, racist, rude, flippant, and curt. When I told security that I wanted to file a complaint, he said I could talk to a supervisor, but then changed his mind and told me to go upstairs to front desk to complete a form. Of course, that’s a classic decoy to deflect the responsibility. No one reads any forms. I am not exaggerating when I say I have received better health care in poor developing countries than my experience at Children’s hospital. We were treated like third-class peasants. Avoid this place like the plague.Shant Minas

Mom came with a 5-year-old baby, a head injury. Another baby is in her arms, breastfeeding. Now they are waiting for a doctor's appointment for more than 5 hours!!!! They are there now, waiting and waiting for help from doctors. Mom is afraid to leave, as a 5-year-old girl hit her head hard. Mom is afraid for her daughter, wants to see a doctor. But it can't! The hospital does not provide medical care. Now 11:55 pm, arrived at 06:00 pm. Give us other hospitals! Kind hospitals where children are loved. You can't humiliate people like that. Where there are queues, I don't want such hospitals. The queue is only one reason people don't want to work well. Give the law, forbid waiting! This attitude towards people should not be in the US. Does anyone know where I can file a complaint? I feel like it shouldn't be. People are not getting medical care. People just sit and wait, for hours. If this hospital were closed, we would go to another one. A hospital is not a waiting room, it is not a train station. Open hospitals to provide medical care. Do not keep us on chairs for 5-6 or more hours, we are people! God save America.Ren Pre

Starting last Monday, I had been vomiting and having excruciating stomach pain. After a week with of going to several E.Rs and urgent care, I finally went to my primary pediatrician. The doctor told me this could not wait and that I had to go to the emergency room immediately. She said that we should go to Children's hospital,. She wrote a note for us and everything.We got there at 6 PM. After 6 hours we were attended by the nurse. She was extremely rude, she called me “boo” as if I was her friend. WE’RE NOT FRIENDS. I felt so disrespected. We showed her the note that the doctor gave me and she said she didn’t need it. all she gave my were 2 tylenols. My pain was at a ten. I screamed and cried I couldn’t take it any more. The nurse said that the wait would be long and said sorry. Sorry would never make up for the way I was treated. We left at 6 AM Saturday Morning. I went to my local hospital and they told me I had to have surgery. This was the cruelest experience of my life. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. Especially the emergency room.Sheila Yousefi

The SJVC-online BSRT program is very user friendly when it comes to ones computer skills. There are some minor glitches here and there when it comes to assignment communication. I am very happy with my decision in choosing SJVC to obtain my Bachelor’s degree. If you are a busy Respiratory Therapist do not hesitate and sign up asap don’t waste another year thinking you are too busy. This program is set up for busy Respiratory Therapist to thrive in. Join the excellent tradition of SJVC Thunder Cat’s, LET’S GO!Daniel Nunez

I enrolled in the MBC certificate program in April of 2021 after loosing my job. I have my degree in medical billing but was doing retail. I was worried about doing straight online school, however the instructors and the adviser Ernie were and are amazing at what they do! I now have made the deans list twice already and have the knowledge I did not before! Thank you SJVC online!Erica Florendo

The staff of this school is pretty good with communication, especially the Dean. Whenever i had a problem he was fast to solve the issue. The experience was great. I did have to find my own extern site, but my career advisor was really supportive and helpful. I wanted to attend the Nursing program but no one has responded so I will probably not do it here. Its a good school!!Anita Ingram

yesterday 7/27/2020 I officially graduated from Concorde college (MA PROGRAM) and all I can say is if you’re looking for a school to help you learn about the medical field Concorde is it. They have great teachers willing to help you as much as possible. They have a great computer lab, always open to help! The school is very well kept and cleaned! Staff also does little events here and there just to show appreciation to the students which I loved. The staff here are AMAZING! 2 staff I would really like to shout out are ARIANA HERTZ & MONICA CARLOS! Both of these woman helped me so much and went out their way to make sure i was doing great at Concorde. Security GEORGE was also such a great staff, he always would help as much as he can. But overall all staff is great, super helpful and super friendly. I felt so welcomed at Concorde as soon as I got there! So glad I came to this school because not only did I get an education but I made some wonderful friends here too. I LOVE CONCORDE💙! And highly recommend it to anyone looking for a school to be in the medical field.Isabel Rosas

This review is overdue. But I wanted to wait until I had been working in my field a couple of years to review. I graduated in 2019 with my LVN, and I was able to obtain my license in January 2020. I was well prepared. Passed my nclex on the first try. But I studied and I followed the direction the instructors and staff recommended to get there. Sometimes it felt like they were dragging us through the ringer, when it came to assignments, tests, clinical etc. But it was well worth it. I started my job confident in all of the basic LVN skills. Vital signs, GT, wound care, interpersonal relationships etc. This school taught me so much about myself. If you are considering a career change; or a jump start to your career. I highly recommend. But don’t go here thinking it will be easy. You WILL have to put in the work. Also another tip, communication is key. If you don’t let the school know what’s going on, they won’t be able to help you.Chynna Hooper

Garden Grove Concorde is what you expect out of a school. I love this campus. I enrolled here in 2006 for the Respiratory Therapist program and graduated in 2008. During the program, they provided all the resources i needed to get through all my courses such as tutoring, 1 on 1 help, and most importantly the most friendliest, attentive staff from the front the front desk all the way to the top. i would like to mention someone who has help through my toughest times, Lynda Carlos. When i was having trouble with my application process she would go out of her way to help me. She was like this with every student and every one of my class mates love her. If anyone is out there looking for a school that actually cares about your future and education, I recommend this school.Ken Torres

I really appreciate Dr. Ruiz's treatment philosophy of minimally invasive dentistry. His classes, instructors, and style of teaching are thorough and approachable for anyone from new grads to seasoned dentists. Every class I've been to has dentists at all points in their careers. The other students in the class are also very helpful and supportive – you don't feel like you're comparing or competing with other docs. I'm only two classes into the mini residency and looking forward to the next class! Shout out also to Marlen for making the whole process run smoothly!Alex Choi

These seminars have been the best educational courses I’ve received since dental school. The office in Studio City is absolutely great! There is parking in the back and near by. It’s an intimate setting where if you have any questions Dr. Luis and his associates are there to answer and guide you through the coursework. It’s very hands on after the didactics and you’ll definitely enjoy the courses.Stella Flores

Dr Ruiz occlusion course is amazing and very informative. It was the most hands on course I have been to. Everyone is amazing and very engaging. I learned here more than I learned in other courses. I’m even thinking to apply for their residency to take on more courses. You won’t regret taking it! AWESOME COURSE!madonna zaki

Dr. Glosman sent me next door with the verdict: two of my lower molars are sentenced for root canals! MY GOD! It turned out that this day was among my best days I remember! Starting with the parking attendant who was so helpful to find a suitable space for my huge car in the busiest part of the day in Beverly Hills, continuing with Dr. Glosman's staff, they were not just smiling but swift and funny and helpful showing me and walking with me thru the shortcuts to the endodontist's office and finally Dr. Glosman's attentiveness, gentle touch and tremendous sense of care. He also referred me to the best endodontist in town, who made room in his schedule and took me right away since I was in pain. What's the outcome? – Root canal? – Easy peasy!! Thank you all for your professionalism, precision and genuine care.Judy Fekete

Dr Glosman is the best. I was referred to him by a friend who raves about him and I’m so glad I was open to making the drive from OC to Beverly Hills to see him. He’s a perfectionist and really takes the time to make sure everything is perfect and the icing on the cake is that he’s extremely kind and down to earth! The commute from OC isn’t fun, but so worth it to love my smile for the first time ever. If you’re looking for a dentist, and especially looking to get any cosmetic dental work done, he is your guy!! Thank you for everything, Dr. Glosman!Brooke Engle

Dr. Glosman truly provides a world class service. He took my battered and broken English teeth and transformed them into a perfect smile. He is an artist and simply best in class. He's such a lovely chap too and takes the time to get to know you so he provides exactly what you need. The cherry on top is that his staff are so kind, friendly and attentive. Look no further than Dr. Glosman!Dave Anthony

I would have given 5 stars except 1. I wasn’t checked in by the front desk, so I wasn’t sure if they knew who I was or would be seen, and 2. My husband and and I waited over 30 minutes before being seen for our implant consultation appointment. But once we were, Dr Vatan gave us his undivided attention answering all our questions with confidence and patience. I like the fact that he makes himself available by personal cell phone. Donielle was accommodating with the way the treatment plan could go, giving us more options and flexibility. I love the decor and layout of the treatment rooms. Last time they had videos of cute animals playing, which I think has a much more soothing effect than FOX news, which was playing in our waiting room😖. Hopefully I’ll have the choice when I return for treatment. …this a follow up…after having gotten my implants. I couldn’t be happier with the procedure and the results. Dr. Vatan is awesome. He’s gentle, kind, considerate and thorough….and very accessible to his patients afterwards. He really cares and it shows. 😁 he is my new dentist.Andrea Gilbert

Dr. Vatan and his team are without a doubt topshelf. To say I don't like going to the dentist is an understatement…and for no particular reason. The Vatan Dental.group has been treating me for approximately 6 years and EVERY time I am there this team is professional, kind, patient, friendly AND knowledgeable. While being treated, they constantly check in w/me and ask about my comfort and explain what they are doing. Not enough can be said about how they (reception, billing, hygienist, dental assistants and the doctor) all make me feel that they are there JUST for me…I never feel rushed or like I am an imposition. I have gone in for one thing, something else is discovered and like Power Rangers, they are all over it…taking care of the issue immediately. Dr. Vatan once said to me, in his calming n soothing voice "I am here just for you"…I believe he says that to the majority of his patients and MEANS it. I LOVE my dental group from the root. Thank you ALL!Carla Cavalier

Dr Vatan and his staff are absolutely wonderful . They accepted me when I was in pain , even without a prior reservation and spent time explaining my dental problem to me in great detail. Dr Vartan is a caring and gentle man who takes as much time as necessary to make a patient feel comfortable and special , and not just another "client " . I would highly recommend this wonderful doctor as well as his very kind and caring staff. Each time I go back for an appointment I am more and more impressed with the care and kindness of Doctor Vatan. Instead of cancelling my appointment for a teeth cleaning when his assistant didn't show up, he fit me in between patients , and did the job himself ! It was the best, most painless …and most professional teeth cleaning I have ever had … at no extra charge!!Olga McGrath

As always, I had an awesome experience at my dentist. I don't know about you guys but I have never been able to say that until I started going to Modern American Dentistry. In the past I would go to my dentist and I always felt I had pretty good teeth, you know. However, every dentist I've ever been at prior to this one had always, and I mean always at every visit tried to sell me some kind of extra item that my insurance didn't cover. It always felt like it was unnecessary. There was a serious lack of trust. And come on, you have to be able to trust your dentist! Besides that huge super important factor, every time I go to my dentist, everyone is always so nice and so helpful and so genuinely concerned with making sure I have a good visit. Customer service and peace of mind are not lost at my dentist. Its awesome.. I was just in for a routine cleaning with my hygienist. She was so nice, so helpful and so informed. And for myself as a single person I couldn't help but notice that she was absolutely beautiful. And I ended up thinking to myself, wow this place can do no wrong. Born and raised in Manhattan Beach and El Segundo, I'm happy to recommend Modern American Dentistry and I'm very proud that they are in my hometown. I hope my comments find you well.

Ok, so I've never "loved" going to the dentist, who does, but it's a necessity in order to keep good health. I've been going to Dr Gould's office for 8 years, since I moved to the area. The office is modern and clean, I'm always seen quickly, and the front desk ladies are always friendly and efficient. My husband and I go regularly for cleanings and our technician, Sonja, is awesome! We actually schedule our appts around her availability. I'm sure others are great too, but she's our girl 🙂 The few times I've had a filling or crown replaced and spent time with Dr. Gould have also been pleasant. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. All treatments have been comfortable and with little to no pain. I highly recommend Modern American Dentistry.Christine Rawson

Very friendly and very helpful. I brought my two kids in for appointments as well, and as I was in the chair, they took very good care of my one year old while he ran around trying to see his sister who was also in the chair adjacent. He hadn't had a very good nap that afternoon, so he wasn't on his best behavior either; regardless, they were very kind and patient. When we entered the office for the first time a month ago (just to see if they took our insurance), Dr. Gould himself came out just to say hello. My teeth feel GREAT right now!Sarah Mamalian

I was referred by a friend to Dr. Isaacs after my regular dentist sold his practice. With so many dentists on the Westside, I wasn't thrilled to have to drive into the valley from WLA to see a dentist…but am glad I did! My teeth cleanings have always been done by either a dentist or dental hygienist. Dr. Isaacs is a periodontist, and I've always felt his cleanings have been more thorough than those I've previously had. He's also given me way more very helpful information about my tooth and gum care than anyone else. When getting my teeth cleaned from someone new, I'm always concerned about their hands. Are they gentle or heavy handed? I've now had my teeth cleaned 3 times by Dr. Isaacs and have never been in pain or felt uncomfortable. And he's always told me to let him know immediately if I experience any pain. My previous dentist had for several years tried to talk me into getting a crown for a troublesome molar. I put him off because I easily tolerated the occasional discomfort…and wasn't in the mood to spend $1500. Dr. Isaacs looked at the tooth and felt confident he could fix it with a new filling. He did, and it's been fine for well over a year so far. And I save $1000+! We're fortunate that in the greater Los Angeles we're surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of health care professionals from which to choose. Some, while very competent and highly regarded, are rude, arrogant or otherwise not very nice. I see doctors as providing a service for which I pay, and I refuse to pay for arrogant, rude or otherwise not nice service. I've read some of the Yelp reviews, both 5 star and 1 star. All I can say that is that in the last nearly 2 years I've been a patient of Woodman Dental Care, I've had nothing but positive experiences, both with the front desk and a very Dr. Isaacs.Mark Perlstein

After much research and 3 consults for a fractured molar, Locating a trustworthy, experienced, highly educated, honorable Periodontist in the SoCal region was no small feat. Dr. Isaacs seemed to fit the bill. Even tnough he was short staffed from the pandemic, he had no qualms spending the time discussing his philosophy on dentistry, and offering much needed advice and guidence about my expectations to preserve a fractured molar with a 30 year old filling. My experience with Periodontists & Dentists in the LA area is lackluster to say the least, as very few seem to care about the patient. Coming from NYC, having NYU & GEORGETOWN educated Periodontists & Dentists, their integrity, pride in workmanship, skill, and empathy appears to be innate, but devoid in LA Dental professionals. So I was delighted to find such a strong constitution and level of caring with diverse experience and education in Dr. David Isaacs. After my consult and Perio Cleaning, I looked at my teeth when I returned home; they looked fantastic, pearly white & smooth to my tongue! I left his office not feeling confused and uncertain of his capabilities and honesty like the others, but relieved I found a Periodontist I could TRUST. Which is a priority to me. And felt confident he would achieve good work. I am proceeding with a treatment plan for 9 teeth, and f i n a l l y, I found a Periodontist I can get back on track with, with maintenence cleanings. Not having insurance of course is an issue in Dental care, and Dr. Isaacs was sensitive to my concerns. He was able to accomodate my budget to begin much needed treatment. Dr. Isaacs is very detailed oriented, informative, and most importantly, kind and sincere, I look forward to putting my M O U T H in his hands. –R. B. STUART NY TransplantR. B. STUART

I recommend Dr. Isaacs 100000%! Visits there make me feel comfortable and cared for, and I genuinely have fun! Before finding him, I'd needed lotsss of work done in the past (5 crowns, 20+ fillings, 3 root canals)… and the process of finding a caring, receptive, and kind dentist or periodontist has always been filled with angst and worry. Finding Dr. Isaacs has been such a tremendous breath of fresh air!! I'm now receiving a gum graft, and at the examination he gave me an insane amount of his time to answer all of my questions in detail. And I'm so grateful for the way that he clearly places so much effort into relating to his patients, connecting with us, and showing us that he cares for our wellbeing above all. We're both environmentalists, so we had a long chat about that! Haha So all of the above has been so clear to me, and I'm also tremendously grateful for his generosity with working around my financial situation. Dr. Isaacs puts my humanity first, and that's a really special quality that I haven't found in many dentists.Adam Spaulding-Astudillo

Dec 2021 – Review Update: We discussed doing another service at the time of my initial visit and completed the necessary prep work to move forward. I requested that my insurance be contacted to figure out what if any they would cover. I was told Pearlique would get back with me. They never did. I have called multiple times to follow up on this with no response. I think follow up and how a company handles your case when you are not in front of them is just as important as customer service when present. I have decreased my star rating because of this. Original Review: OCT 2021 Great experience and comfortable environment. I provided my insurance prior to visit and did not have any delays on the day of. Dr. Amy did my actual cleaning!! I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME THE DENTIST DID MY ACTUAL CLEANING!! I SOO APPRECIATE IT! The attention to detail was phenomenal. Felt like a new person! Had a bad experience last year at a different office. Wish I had found Pearlique sooner. Thank you Dr. Amy and Pearlique!Kachael J

I am very happy to find a great dentist in the area!  I haven't had the time to go to the dentist for awhile ( don't judge me! ) so I was trying to find one that would be conveniently located. I live close to DTLA and was suggested this location by a friend. I was able to make an appt conveniently through an online system and received confirmation immediately. Turns out the normal office was undergoing repair so they're temporarily displaced to a different location in downtown. I was able to get a very affordable parking spot via SpotHero but I was also offered a rideshare service if necessary!  I was seen promptly and most importantly was educated on my dental health which I really hadn't experienced in the past. I didn't feel pressured into any services. I opted to do teeth whitening since I've been drinking a lot of coffee lately and that went well too. I'd definitely recommend this place to my friends and plan on coming back.Monica Huynh

DO NOT GO!!! I paid $1300 for a crown and they did a TERRIBLE job. They had a novice do it who took 3x as long and didn’t numb me right or put it on right. I was in excruciating pain during the procedure and for 2 months after. They claimed to have sent me a pain prescription and it never arrived at the pharmacy. They admitted they probably put my crown on wrong but would not answer my queries to get a referral or a reimbursement. I contacted them for weeks and they just said “we’ll get back to you” without ever addressing the issue. UPDATE: I went to another dentist months later because it was still bothering me and they confirmed Pearlique had put the crown in wrong and left my nerve exposed. I have called Pearlique and emailed them repeatedly and still can't get them to answer me.S CB

Okay… I normally don’t write reviews unless the experience is either too good, or too bad. If I want to sum up my overall experience about this dental office, I will say, this place is a collection of bunches of professional and wonderful people (from their helpful/friendly/polite front desk staff to the hygienist and dentists). I don’t know who’s doing the recruiting here, but what’s obvious is that they are so good at attracting and retaining good people. I’ve been going to Cosmetic Dental of Westwood since 2020 and my treating doctor is Dr. Elnaz Hendifar (A wonderful and beautiful human being). I found this wonderful dental office a couple of months after my move to LA. For those who has the experience of moving (from one city to another) should know how challenging can be finding the right service provider in the new city. I am so happy and glad that found this dental office for my dental work. Here is couple of things that I would like to highlight about my personal experience: 1) Office culture and friendly environment (they truly care about their patients and treat you like family) 2) Cleanness (Their office and equipment are super neat and clean) 3) Time management (you will be seated at your scheduled time and you will be out right on-time) 4) Treatment planning & costs (Your dental insurance will be checked prior to your appointment, and they will tell you exactly how much you can expect to be charged (on you insurance and your out of pocket) based on the doctor’s diagnosis and TX recommendation. They have a very organized and straight forward treatment planning from the first step to the end. Unlike some other dental practices, they don’t treat their patients like a $ sign here. You will be treated here for a treatment that you truly need). Cosmetic Dental of Westwood, you are awesome. Keep up the great work.Shohreh Fathieh

My first visit at Cosmetic Dental was a pleasant one. Their environment is very nice, sunny and clean coupled with great welcoming energy from their friendly staff which helped me feel more relaxed. The exam and x-rays portion was very quick and smooth with results and diagnosis in minutes. The main dentist did a quick check of my mouth and teeth and let me know she is always available if I ever need her. I liked her knowledge and demeanor as well as her warmth and sincerity. The deep clean (my first) wasn't nearly as bad as expected. The woman who did the cleaning was so understanding and careful, yet very thorough and she did an amazing job. Also, when the novocaine wore off I didn't experience any pain so I can definitely recommend their deep cleanings here. All in all, I am happy to have found them and fully appreciate how expert they are at handling anxious, nervous patients like myself. Lastly, I did a lot of research on pricing of exams, regular cleaning and deep cleaning and can confirm their prices are fair. I definitely recommend Cosmetic Dental.jane a

I took my mom to the office for ct scan and consultation and the office was so clean and modern, there was no waiting time. Jasmin is very nice and professional. Gigi and Wendy are the most comforting assistants. Dr. Shakib is the most honest and knowledgeable person, she answers all our questions in detail, she is so patient and the smile is on her face all the time. This doctor deals with her patients with great care as if they are a family members. I strongly recommend this office to all my friends and family.Moshira Matta

Dr. David Ahn, is the best. Initially I had some fear about the procedure I was about to have, he made me feel very secure and explained everything in detail. The procedure was flawless, I had no pain, the final work was amazingly beautiful. His team and staff all have the best personalities, very kind and considerate. I recommend Perio Health Professionals to be one of the best.Rodney Sanders

I've been coming to PIHP for a few years now and from the first moment I called till this day , it is always a pleasurable, and professional experience. I have had deep cleaning as well as oral surgery performed here and everything is always well explained, in person as well as on paper. Great communication from the whole team. I ALMOST look forward to coming there!Michael Powers

Dr. Otomo-Corgel is the Gold Standard of Periodontists and her staff is as well. Annette was my Dental Hygienist and she was exceptional through my entire appointment. She was very thorough and yet very gente Best cleaning experience ever. Best Regards, Dr. Beverly Johnsonkerman dental
