I had to do dental work at this place and had great experience. The doctor and her assistant Mariam were so efficient and pleasant people to be with. The staff also took care of my insurance without any issues what so ever. I do recommend this dental office

My filling failed within 3 months. However, my warning is about the billing practices. I am trying to determine if they are simply incompetent or fraudulent in their practices. I received an estimate to repair the failed filling and it seemed dramatically higher than my insurance coverage. In reviewing my proposed treatment and my old bill for the fillings, I discovered that nothing was correct. Codes were systematically over and underbilled. However, I was overbilled in total and they attempted to overcharge me for the repair work by about $600. I have metlife 85. The billing agent claimed she confused my plan with metlife plan 185. However I checked the co pays on this 185 plan to verify her claim, and none of the charges line up to this either. They attempted to charge me $450 for something that I had a $15 co pay on. Check every single billing code with a fine tooth comb against your coverage. Just looking at the dental codes, my bill would have been cut in half. I am filing a grievance against the practice with my insurance company and I urge any clients to seriously review their bills against their dental coverage. Whether this is incompetence or fraud, I could not say. But their billing agent was rude and dismissive when I pointed out the discrepancies. It seriously makes me question the procedures that have been suggested to me, which is unfortunate. Clean up your practice and straighten out your billing.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND - wow... Honest, knowledgeable, caring, AND super clean! I'm new to the city and suddenly cracked a large filling. This was an emergency. With everything else going on with the world, I truly needed ease. Actually, I do not have insurance- so I needed a fair rate too. The office manager Mayra helped calm my doubts after getting 2 other consults and an alarm to pull a molar. Dr. Hizong was kind and had the skills to save my tooth. She took time to explain why and showed me that my cavity did not require a root canal. She was so good-- I ended up cleaning my teeth and fixing more! We may be strangers, but we all just need to be taken care of fairly at the end of the day. GRATITUDE!!

I've been coming to this dentist for almost 4 years and I like Dr.Nikjoo and the dental assistants, Sandy and Miriam. But with each year, the visits became worse -- my appointments were delayed by an hour, there was miscommunication about the reason for my visit, cancelled appointments without notice, etc. I've had it with their rude staff and poor front office management. Enough is enough -- DO NOT GO HERE. We were told that their office is currently only taking emergency patients, yet, they called us several weeks later trying to schedule our annual checkup. We were able to finally set that appointment, only to have Myra, the office manager, suddenly inform us that we were no longer on their patient roster due to our insurance requiring Tarzana Dental to be assigned as our primary dentist. I had already told Myra countless of times before that our particular insurance didn't have any such requirement and that I had personally checked by calling our insurance 3 months prior. When I asked if she could call our insurance directly to get further clarification, she refused to do so and very rudely told me that they were not going to take my husband and I now that we were considered "new patients". Again -- we have been coming to this dentist for FOUR YEARS, with the same insurance as we have always had. Why was there suddenly an issue now? It became clear at this point that the problem had nothing to do with our insurance. The real issue was with their horrible front office management and unprofessional service. Our dental insurance agent called Myra directly to explain how our dental plan worked and she said that Myra still avoided rectifying the situation or admitting to her mistake. Tarzana Dental decided to wrongfully dismiss both my husband and I as patients, citing the only reason as "unable to meet patients' needs". All we needed was to make an appointment to get our teeth checked. That's it. It's a shame we had wasted that time and money returning to this place, but what a blessing it is to never have to deal with that staff again.
