After receiving his bachelor degree in Biology from UCLA in 2003, Dr. Mehrdad (Mark) Noori continued his education to earn his doctoral degree from the University of Southern California School of Dentistry (USC) in 2008. Graduating in the top 5% of his class, Dr. Noori set out to change the old image of dentistry by making visits to the dentist a more comfortable and less stressful experience.
He is very passionate about dentistry, never ceasing to be fascinated by the most complex treatment needs and has always been on the cutting edge of the rapidly changing fields in dentistry. Practcing superior restorative and cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Noori is regarded as one of the leading cosmetic dentists having been responsible for the creation of many beautiful smiles and as a very gentle and caring dentist, he completes an average of 75 continuing education hours annually to ensure he stays abreast of latest techniques in his field.
This a great place! I'm a nervous wreck when I need to get anything done. They were super awesome! I really enjoyed my treatment! There was no wait and they numb my pain right away! Love the X-ray machine! And don't get me started with the keurig coffee maker! Lol! I really like this will come back for more treatment!
I always been frighten of going to the dentist, but the people who work here, go out of their way for you to feel conformable. Victor has done all my dental work so far and it's been great. He's very considerate and shows that he loves doing his job. I would go back without hesitation. Now, my whole family is coming here.
From basic teeth cleaning to extracting of wisdom tooth I received expert and courteous care. Staff was very friendly and caring. My dentist Dr. Mark was very nice and calm when I acted like a cry baby, was scared and embarrassed myself. It's been two days now and no pain, thank god. Very happy with the their services.

do not go to this dentist, they are very thieves, they tell you that they can happen to you while they are examining you, they run your credit and when you come out of examining you it turns out that you already owed $14,000 dollars from a treatment that they already began to do to me and worst of all without my authorization they already collected that money for that reason Do not go to that place they are scoundrels

Terrible place and unprofessional. I filed a complaint to the dental board. Letter from dental board states that his practices "...if proven would only constitute simple negligence..." It states if there are more reports they can take admin. action. Do not waste your time here. I needed a root canal and this doctor (Dr. Noori) left me vulnerable to infection with a sloppy temporary crown and I was in severe pain until I had to go to another dentist. They refused to provide proper treatment. VERY DISTURBING.

Not coming ever again I made an appoint to get my wisdom removed I go in and they say they have to call my insurance to see if they cover it so I wait OVER an HOUR for them to "call" later they call me to start the procedure, I ask if my insurance went through they say no my insurance covers a different dentist. HUGE SCAM they were going to go through the procedure and then ask to pay after instead of letting me know the real situation. The receptionist with the glasses SUPER RUDE. She kept my ID and I didn't realize till hours after, they never called or nothing when I go back I ask she says not one word and just puts my ID on the counter. Don't waste your time here people find a better dentist worth your time.

I am so very pleased with my new smile! I highly recommend South Gate Dentistry & Orthodontist. The Doctor & Staff are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I can now smile when I have a picture taken without covering my teeth. Thank you for giving me a reason to smile again! Sylvia Ortiz Gomez

This place is trying trying to scam you and take your money. They sent out authorizations but conveniently "forgot" to ask for things that were clearly covered by my insurance so that they could get me to pay out of pocket. When I asked them to resend those authorizations and ask for things that would be covered by my insurance they canceled my appointments and refused to return my phone calls. Very shady. Go somewhere else I see that the owner responded to this review and I would like to clarify. I did contact this office several times to try to get clarification on what was covered. Instead of clarifying they simply canceled my entire authorization because they did not want to admit that they did not even try to do the right thing. I spoke with my insurance company today and they said that what I needed was in fact covered was covered by my insurance but your office did not even request it. I called my insurance company twice. They checked my authorization and you never even tried. You are a dishonest practice.

Southgate dentistry was recommended to me by a co worker, and I am very pleased with the experience here. Staff member service at the front desk was efficient, courteous, and very professional. The business itself is clean well lit and organized. Dr. Maleki has both technique and experience, he removed my wisdom tooth and repaired another tooth filling in a blink of an eye with almost no discomfort, and that I am very thankful for. I have and will continue to recommended this dentist office to friends and relatives!

Beware ! Called again more than once in the past week and this past Monday the same Receptionist said I wouldn't receive the money I'm still owed ($76 and change )by them if I went in person because the Dr already sent out a check over 2 weeks ago,this is the second time she tells me this,so I guess I'm just supposed to keep on waiting right, mind you they didn't even bother sending out a check until I called and asked about it several times which was already OVER a month after they received a letter from my insurance that they needed to refund me that money as well not just the $227.70 that I was already sent in late January for over charging me. I went to them in late august ,it's clearly now almost April. Be aware of what they charge and report to your insurance or any promo that they offer because it might take longer to resolve than expected

Dr. Noori is the best. I came to get my wisdom teeth taken out and he made it really easy for me to feel comfortable with him. He took 2 out in less than 10 minutes which was amazing and there was no discomfort at all. I'm looking forward to going back to get the rest removed and I have never felt excited to goto a dentist ever in my life until now. Dr. Noori is sweet and genuine and takes away all the fear of seeing a dentist. Very professional and clean space as well.
