Probably the worst Dentist I have ever been too - his hygienist broke a bridge of mine and Dr. Elbert could not figure out how to replace it and kept forgetting to get advice on how to repair it ( he mentioned he was going to "consult with colleagues") and instead recommended a lot of elective procedures that still are very sensitive over a year later - I had to go to a good Dentist to replace the bridge he couldn't fix and did the same for an implant I had done - stay away !!

Amazing customer service as soon as you walk in, little to know wait time every single time. Dr. Albert is incredible and after being on Invisalign for only 2 months the results are unbelievable. No one does it better, come her I promise you won't regret it!

Thousand Oaks smile design has a friendly staff and they do good work, and that's why I didn't give them one star. They recommended that I needed a deep cleaning, which wasn't cheap compared to other dentist I have gone too. I paid in full after treatment, and about 9 months later I received another bill almost totaling the amount I had already paid. My insurance denied my claim because they said it wasn't necessary. I spoke with the insurance specialist at TO Smile design, and she informed me she would speak with the owners to see what could be done with my new bill. I followed up a couple weeks later to check the status, and I received no response. I decided to call back before my upcoming appointment to find out they only wanted me to pay for 75% of the original treatment cost, and that I owed money for work they did which I thought was a standard cleaning. Get a pre authorization from your insurance for any work they recommend. And beware of up sales!

LOVE Dr. Elbert's team!! My family always has a great experience with cleanings and any issue resolution. Dr. Elbert has excellent chair side manner and is patient and explanatory in his approach. We've had a number of twists and turns in our dental needs and they've all been handled perfectly and with thought and care. Any referrals for other dental-related work have been too-notch. Thank you!!
