Surgeon didn't show up for my surgery, I didn't find out until 10 min after I was scheduled to start. The billing department overcharged me and each time I try calling they are 'in on a different day' or 'out' (have been trying for almost 2 months). The hygienists room isn't very sanitary, the patients chairs are very close to each other with no dividers and screaming children with no masks. Very sketchy. Go somewhere else.

I have to get braces again! Doctor Moradi pushed my teeth out and now they are not aligned. I bite my tongue when I eat and it bleeds. Going to a new doc who actually monitors the move. Also, consults with me on the work. I had headaches from the misaligned teeth he created, and he changed my smile for the worst. The changed smile I can deal with but not being able to chew properly, and bleeding from biting my back tongue. I never had these types of issues. I would not recommend Dr. Moradi. Very upset.

I LOVE MR. MORADI HE IS AMAZING AND SO SWEET TO HIS PATIENTS! I've been going to him since I was a senior in HS and he's been a sweetheart to me every since. I will have to agree with the comment below...the front desk customer service is not the best from the woman who handles orthodontics to the man who handles the billing for regular dental services I believe his name is frank ..very rude, blunt and impatient (literally everything Bernice commented below is true). I walked in the office to get a cleaning done along with other services and when someone sent frank to speak to me he came off as he didn't want to explain fully what procedure I needed more so was in a rush to find out if I was willing to pay for it..didn't like the way he didn't explain it so I refused services ....that made me leave the office feeling very uncomfortable because of him (he comes off as if he's better than people it's a really weird feeling). Frank is apart of regular dental services I believe he only handles the billing part if I'm not mistaken and moradi covers orthodontist ..so as far as ortho goes service and work is absolutely amazing!! I love him and I refer anybody who needs braces to go to him. Saw the comment below and thought I'd add my two cents about the amazing service with ortho and horrible customer service with regular dental service

There are some good dentists here, but the overall operation is shady. They charge ridiculous fees for transferring records (actually in violation of HIPAA, so I reported them).

This is a shady "car-dealership" type dentist clinic that tries to find work when there isn't any to be done. I've been to many dentists in the Westside and this is the only place where I've felt like I'm being sold dental care like it's a used car. They scan your insurance and if you have unused credit for an orthodontic treatment (mouthguard, retainer) they will pressure you into using it on the first visit. They gave me a retainer to "fix" the alignment of my front teeth but I've consulted with other dentists since then and not only are retainers NOT for fixing alignment (that's what braces are for) but my front teeth are perfectly aligned.

I've been going to this practice since I was 25, I'm now 66. The prices were reasonable for the most part, but you never know which dentist will actually be doing the work needed. I like & trust Dr. Korda, but her speciality is in restorations...crowns, bridges & fillings. I need an extraction. I'm scared of going to any dentist, but more so if I have no idea how a "stranger" is going to treat me. Today in the office on Washington, Dr. Agaki opened a few years ago, I was seen by three different dentists...none of which will actually be doing the work. I went in for one extraction...one! I get in, x-rays taken & then I was told "this tooth needs to come out, that tooth needs to come out, two others need crowns, a couple of fillings & cleaning. My insurance isn't the best, capping at $1500/year. Someone, I have no idea who this person was,(I later found out his name is Frank) begins telling me all sorts of things, including the need for a bone graft costing $700 that won't be covered by my insurance. It sounds like they're prepping for a $3000 implant. ($3000 is the base price & doesn't include other fees. With those extra fees, it works out to $3500 or more for a single tooth) I was told a retainer-type appliance would be used to push a front tooth into a better position, provided I wear it for the remainder of my life, with an attached tooth to replace the molar that needs extracting, with an attached bite guard. I have severe chronic pain caused by nerve damage & noticed I've been clenching my teeth. Undoubtedly the reason for the broken tooth. Then, another person comes in and starts talking about a partial plate, with three teeth attached. Why the differing stories? I also had no pain going in, but now I do. It's from being picked at by a heartless dentist, after I'd asked him not to & stressed "JUST THE ONE BROKEN TOOTH IS ALL I'M INTERESTED IN HAVING DONE". Apparently, my words fell on deaf ears. I'm terrified of dentists & with good reason...as evidenced by the picking at a tooth I'd asked not be picked at. ALL work I have done, including cleanings, require local anesthesia & nitrous. My anxiety level skyrocketed, even though I'd taken a tranquilizer before leaving my house. I asked if nitrous was still available. Why, yes it is...at a cost of $200 per 30 minutes. Insurance won't pay for that either. Why the price for gas is so high, I don't know. Maybe they're trying to weed out those who actually need it vs those who just want to get high? I'm not even sure which office I'll be going to...the one on Venice? The one on Washington? Guess I'll have to call to get some answers before my appointment on Friday morning. *Dr. Moradi, I've been trying to reach you for three days. I don't know if your staff has told you or not, but I know you read these reviews. My phone number is on file at your office. I'm not interested in speaking with Monica or Avi. TY

My experience at Frankel Dental was excellent from the moment I walked through the door. I came in for a teeth cleaning. Normally I have so much anxiety going to the dentist but the professionals at this facility made my experience seamless. They were friendly and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend their services.

I had a visit today for my right side two tooth filling and deep cleaning. I was told by the main doctor that my insurance will cover for everything, but after they num my jaws and do the deep cleaning, i was told that my insurance cant cover for the filling. This is not fare and unacceptable, they convince you untill they get their money and dont care about you after all.

Amazing experience here. The office is very modern and clean, and the staff is extremely nice! Dr. Agaki is very gentle and Dr. Moradi, the orthodontist is super nice and charming. I'd definitely come back regularly!

I cannot recommend this place enough. For so many years I was self conscious about my teeth, however, I was never able to pay for braces. A friend of mine recommended to come to Dr. Moradi as she knew they would take my insurance and charge very little co-pay. I am so happy to have found this place. Not only did Dr. Moradi promise to treat me like royalty, but he actually follows through. His front desk staff always have a smile on their face and greet me with so much respect. Highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

This office is def not a regular dental office which is a very good thing! Everyone is very nice and laid back. I came in for a dental exam and left with retainers by the orthodontist. The office is extremely accommodating in regards to payment and payment plans too. Thank you to all the front desk girls who treated me with so much respect and the orthodontist who had the biggest smile on his face. He truly cares about his patients and it shows!
