I was told to come in at least 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork, which I did and no one was there. So, I waited for 15 minutes, standing outside the office. When my name was called, they wanted to do x-rays right away; but I told them I did not need x-ray's because the only problem was that my new veneer had popped off. There was nothing wrong with the underlying tooth structure... no pain at all and this is an easy fix... Just re-cement the veneer in place. My personal dentist was on vacation and I just needed an interim dentist to help me. So, no x-ray, but it felt like they were just trying to cause additional charges and make something simple complicated. Turns out that I was right. Dr. Barkhordar barely spoke 2-3 minutes to me (He did not examine me at all) I simply told him that the veneer had popped off and said that the cost of re-cementing my crown would be $800.00. I could not believe it. I said that I could not justify $800.00 to re-cement a veneer (for that amount the dentist should give you another veneer entirely). Then, as I was leaving, the receptionist said that I would need to pay $65.00 for the office visit! The dentist spoke to me all of 2 -3 minutes. No examination! Who gets paid $65.00 for 2 minutes? I told the receptionist the dentist needs to call me and adjust his charge. He never called me. I left another message and still no call back from Dr. Barkhordar. The office charged me $65.00 anyway! I am currently disputing it with my bank. Oh! Just this morning, that same veneer was re-cemented and only cost me $118.00 with a reputable SB dentist. So, beware of Dr. Omid Barkhordar, who just wants to bilk his patients of their money, without giving them any service. Sky high Beverly Hills prices for a tiny little dentistry office in SB and questionable business practices. Definitely not ethical!

I made an appointment for a cleaning. What I got was a bunch of xrays and a long explanation about the deep cleaning, which I declined after much pressure from the "office manager" I left feeling like I had just escaped from buying a bad used car. The xray machine seems pretty new and everything else was not very clean and pretty dated. It was not the experience one would hope for.
I left after and hour and a half and still no simple cleaning. I see a dentist every 6 months for cleaning and check. If I have a condition that requires an extensive, expensive treatment, It's news to me and I certainly would not have it here. The dentist himself seemed like a nice enough person received his training at USC, which is why I went in the first place. He needs serious help running his business

Handicap-accessible. All members of the staff are very warm and friendly. . They gave me sufficient information to make a decision about my treatment plan. I was able to discuss financing options.

The office was very easy to locate. I didn't have any trouble finding it at all. I couldn't believe how knowledgeable and well-informed the staff was. They were able to answer all my questions, except the ones they needed to have their boss's input on. It was great to be able to talk to such a skilled staff. Their staff is the most friendly, welcoming staff I've ever dealt with. They are so warm and professional, and make the whole experience that much better.
