James (Jim) Fisk Mulick, D.D.S., M.S, went to be with the Lord on December 23, 2018. Jim was preceded in death by the love of his life, Joyce MacQueen Mulick. At the time of his death, Jim was surrounded by the love of his family.
Jim was born in Long Beach, California to Robert Mulick Sr. and Dallas Mulick on September 20, 1928. Like so many young men of his generation, Jim joined the United States Navy after High School. He served on the SS/AGSS-395 Redfish submarine as an ET3. Jim then went on to obtain his undergraduate degree at what would become the University of California, Santa Barbara. He met Joyce MacQueen, and they married after Jim graduated from college.
Jim and Joyce moved to the Bay Area where Jim attended the University of the Pacific, graduating with a degree in Dentistry (D.D.S.) They then returned to Southern California, and Jim started a general dentistry practice in Woodland Hills.
While in the Orthodontic program at the University of Washington, Jim developed a passion for being a part of the care of children and adults with a Cleft Lip and/or Palate. Jim would carry that passion forward to his career as an Orthodontist. Upon the completion of his orthodontic program, Jim and Joyce moved their young family to the San Fernando Valley in California.
In addition to his professional life, Jim gave back to his local community. He was active in the Boy Scouts of America. As an Eagle Scout, he realized the importance of this organization for the development of character in young men. Jim became a mentor for his sons who both achieved the status of Eagle Scout, as well as a mentor for two of his grandsons who also achieved the status of Eagle Scout. He led a local Boy Scout Troop, and continued as a merit badge counselor for many years.
Sunday mornings, Jim could be found at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Westlake Village, California where he was a part of the Usher Team. He and Joyce also led a Bible study that celebrated its 50th year of continuous meeting in 2018. They were active participants in the shelter program which provided a place for homeless individuals to spend the night during the winter.
Jim was a huge UCLA fan with season tickets to football and basketball games. Saturdays during the Fall were spent either at football games, or listening/watching these games. And Pauley Pavilion was a second home during basketball season.
Jim is survived by his children, their spouses and their families; Ronald, Lorraine, Marcus, Joseph and Erik and great grandson Duke Mulick, Dave, Sharon Gabriel, Hannah and Caleb Mulick and Dianne, Patricio and Parker Altuna.

We can't recommend Dr. Kati Asgarifar more highly! She is an outstanding orthodontist and runs a warm, professional, stress-free office. Our daughters always leave their appointments with a smile on their face :).

I had a really pleasant experience with Dr. Kati. I didn't get to finish my treatment with her as I moved states but if I could go back to her I would! She explained the treatment plan really well and always made me feel really comfortable. The staff where always friendly and I was always seen pretty quickly. I'm a little surprised at some of the previous reviews. I was a cash pay patient and never experienced any issues. The price quote I got at the beginning was it and there were no additional charges ever. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Kati to anyone and if I ever find myself back in California I would use her for mine and my families' orthodontic care.

I have been a patient of Dr. Asgarifar for a little over a year and a half. Clean and nice office. I would like to thank Dr. Asgarifar for making me at home since day one. I love how she's always so caring and attentive with her patients. She's always professional and goes beyond her job to help you and make sure your satisfied with your overall visit. I trust her because it shows she knows what she's doing and what she's talking about. I always refer my family directly with her because I know she will make sure they are taken care of.

Asgarifar Kati, DDS - This doctors work is awful, horrible and she doesn't know well. I am very dissatisfied of her work on my son. She will try her best to lute you by showing broken braces every time you go there, even there are no broken braces. Importantly she is very very rude and she doesn't know how to talk to the customers. I worn anyone who plans to go this doctor be prepared for the fights with this women for years. I would suggest you to choose better doctors in the area. There are many excellent doctors in the same area so please your doctor wisely and don't fall into the tarp I did. This process is long and expensive so I would suggest anyone to choose good doctors but not this unpleasant doctor. She doesn't disclose catches and she will try to get you in to the program and make you pay 300 to 500 dollars and start telling hidden charge after charge. That is it at that point of time you cannot loose your initial dollars you paid and mostly tent to continue and then your screwed for two years with this office. No wonder this office is empty all the time,

Kati treats her work with integrity and honor, making sure your every need is properly attended to, supplying you with only the finest and most knowledgeable dental care/treatment. Her kindness and fairness makes the experience all the more pleasant. If you're searching for fantastic, affordable orthodontic care, you need not look further.

She doesn't talk to the patient properly. She doesn't explain what treatment she is going to perform.

About a year ago my teeth were quite crooked. Now, all the gaps are closed. This year-long experience with Dr. Asgarifar and her staff was easy, comfortable and fun. She is very kind and honestly has more than satisfied my expectations. Dr. Asgarifar answered all my questions while respecting my obsessive tendency to ask many. She was the third doctor I saw before deciding to continue with a plan. - I highly recommend Dr. Kati Asgarifar.
