“My visit with Dr. Adhoot was superb. He walked me through the process of removing my wisdom teeth and what to expect. He communicated wonderfully. The process was very quick and painless. It went even smoother than I had anticipated. Insurance coverage was very clear with Kelly at the front desk and she helped me to understand the deductible all the while being super efficient. There was no waiting and I am beyond pleased with their services! ”

Great dentist - very trustworthy and looking out for the patient’s best interests even if that means less $ for him.

Ended up paying a lot more than the initial price of my visit because of add ons during my cleaning that I “needed”. Not trustworthy.

October 4, 2023Johnny S.Verified patient
Honestly, I wouldn't recommend unless you can afford it. Overall they were very nice and no wait. The facility was very clean and high tech. The Xray tech person was particularly friendly and kind. I thought it was a great experience (even though it was just a consult. They didn't clean my teeth). Then I checked out and was shocked by the treatment plan specifics. I reviewed past insurance claims from other places and decided to get a second opinion. Their second treatment plan from another dentist was significantly different. Like night and day.
The service was great. But just do your homework about cost and insurance coverage.

Best dental office on the Westside.
January 27, 2022Janis P.Verified patient
This is a truly great dentist's office and I couldn't be happier with Dr. Ahdoot's office. Dr. Ahdoot is skilled, attentive, and answered all of my (many) questions. Every other member of the staff is equally great -- they're informative, helpful and kind in every way, flexible with my schedule, and they gave me an accurate cost breakdown for everything ahead of time (which is a big deal because I've experienced constant up-selling and hidden expenses in the past). I almost never post reviews but I had to in this instance -- I had such a great experience with everyone. I look forward to my next visit!

Great visit as always.
December 20, 2021Garrett K.Verified patient
Dr, Ahdoot and his assistants were absolutely wonderful. I have a very high bar since my family is in the business- they were incredibly professional, timely, friendly, and did an excellent job on my teeth. 10/10 would recommend them to anyone. Awesome team who knows what they are doing and howe to make a super pleasant experience for patients. I will certainly be back!

Great great!
More than 1 year agoDamon M.Verified patient
Fantastic-- Dr. Ahdoot started helping me with a problem I've had for months during the first visit, after a frustrating odyssey with another dentist who didn't help at all. Everyone on the staff was very kind and concerned with possible discomfort (very minimal) during xrays, cleaning, etc. Thanks!
October 7, 2021Hadrian R.Verified patient
After far too long away from the dentist (let's blame COVID), I made an appt with Dr. Ahdoot's office. The first time went great and since then, I've been back twice (including an emergency appt made on a weekend for Monday). Each time has been a pleasure. The staff legit feels like old friends or sweet aunties. Dr. Ahdhoot is kind and the right-kind-of chill. Plus, they have TVs with Netflix - which came in super useful when I had to undergo a 2-hour procedure (again, blame COVID). All that to say, I'd highly recommend.
October 5, 2021Simone B.Verified patient
I absolutely love Dr. Ahdoot and his team. They're all very nice and take such great care of their patients. I recently moved to Long Beach and still make the drive every 6 months to his office because I can't see myself getting this kind of care at another office. The cherry on top is they have screens hanging above you so you can watch Netflix as they're working on your teeth!

Great practice.
September 2, 2021Tony N.Verified patient
Love this dude, runs a good practice and good business, the staff is top notch-- you won't be disappointed. Developed a detailed plan for me and is efficient and accurate. I'm not sure if it's called 'bedside manner" in dentistry but all staff from reception to Dr. Ahdoot are attentive, caring, informative, and considerate.
More than 1 year agoTony N.Verified patient
I've been seeing Dr. Ahdoot for a few years now. I came to him with a tooth issue where another dentist told me I needed a full crown and I came to Dr. Ahdoot for a second opinion. He was able to help me with a less extreme procedure and I have trusted him and his staff ever since. They are a tight-knit team and make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in the door - it's seems like they always remember me and our conversations from previous visits even though I'm only there once every six months! The office also has cool artwork on the walls! Highly recommend
July 22, 2021Michelle M.Verified patient
Excellent service and staff. Dr. Ahdoot is very down to earth in his approach and explanation of treatment and options. First Dentist in a long time where I felt secure in my decisions. His team is stellar as well. This place is a total delight cannot recommend them enough!

i liked the visit with Dr. Ahdoot. He explained to me all my dental options and the benefits and disadvantages of each option. Dr. Ahdoot spent a lot of time with me and answered all my questions.
