PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Zobalian and his team are wonderful! I had my first appointment with his office a week ago and I was beyond impressed. They all were kind, relatable, funny, down to earth, and extremely professional. From the front desk to the doctor himself, my experience was incredible. I experienced such a warm, familial environment within the staff, as well as through their interactions with me. I recommend Dr. Zobalian to anyone and everyone who is looking for someone who will not only take care of his patient’s teeth, but also who truly cares about the well-being of his patients! If I could recommend more than 5 stars, I would! Thank you Dr. Zobalian & staff!

Its taken me years to find a dentist I liked in LA, Ive been to a few but its been shotty work and over charging. Fast forward I was was getting tooth pain and realized a filling came loose from a root canal that I ever got a crown for. Had to find something quick but also trying to find someone who was transparent. My first visit I was surprised at how much I felt as ease even being nervous (because you know, the dentist can be scary lol). He asked me what was bothering me, and then noted some other work I needed and we came up with a game plan. Alma and all of the other staff are super helpful and pleasant to be around. Alma was VERY clear about the total procedures, what insurance would cover, how we can schedule the work, payment plans and when best to work with the insurance (deductible costs and etc) – it was very refreshing to have someone willing to lay everything out and make sure what was needed was done within my schedule and price range. Dr Zabolian is gentle and well mannered, also careful not to disturb my makeup too much lol (i usually book appointments in between my work schedule).my 2 teeth that needed emergency work have been taken care of and im Happy to say I finally found a dentist I liked and feel comfortable with, would recommend

Hands down the best dental practice I’ve ever used. As someone with the common fear of dentists, I am so happy to find Dr. Zabolian and his team. The office staff is very welcoming, and easy to correspond with. The nurses and techs blend their knowledgeable skills with a compassionate approach to care. Molly, the oral hygienist, knows her work well and has the all-important gentle touch. Samaritan Dental Arts works smoothly thanks to Dr. Alan Zabolian being at the helm. When you’re sitting in his chair, you can hear him and the team working together to make the best experience for every patient. He is NYU trained, and very passionate about the art of dentistry. He is also humble and approachable, patients get a feeling that he cares about his work and your health and comfort. As his patient, he wants you to know what procedures are necessary, and why it is beneficial for your oral and overall health. The office will work with you to ensure your procedures and appointments can meet your budget and your calendar, which can include Saturdays. So book early and often!

This has been the best dental experience I’ve ever had (I’ve gone three times for different services). All the staff treats their patients with warmth and professionalism. They also honor their appointment times. Dr. Zabolian is honest and masterful at his craft. With so many dentists in Los Angeles, I am so glad I found someone that truly cares for their patients. I highly recommend this hidden gem! Pro tip: If you can’t or don’t want to walk or electric scooter here, park at one of the meters on Bixel or Wilshire. If not, the parking structure costs $4 for every 20 minutes and there is no validation.

I called Dr. Zabolian’s office with a severe toothache to get an appointment. I was surprised how professional he was and his staff were in accommodating me to come in right away. I am terrified of dentists, but when I got to his office I was feeling such a relaxing environment and he proceeded to provide emergency dental treatment and get me out of agony in such a professional way. I’ve been to many dentists before but doctors Z definitely is my new favorite dentist now. Thank you doctor Z for an amazing experience!

Dr. Alan Zabolian is wonderful, exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and kind. I’ve been to many different dentists throughout my life and I want to say that Dr. Alan Zabolian is absolutely the best one. His staff is also extremely friendly and professional. They treat their patients with a lot of care and a gentle calmness. The entire office feels clean, put together, and efficient. I feel very fortunate to have found this place on yelp when I was looking for a Dentist closer to me that was in my health insurance network. Additionally, the office is very high tech! Your x-rays are digital and in very good resolution – they also come out instantly. Dr. Zabolian is able to zoom in and show you your teeth and gum health with a lot of detail, and it’s saved to your file so you can compare and track the health of your teeth and gums over time. This is the first Dental office that I have seen that has this

I had a wonderful experience with my dental cleaning. Dr. Zabolian, Alma, and Alex were very helpful and friendly throughout my time here. I came in for my biannual dental cleaning and Dr. Zabolian was very kind to explain to me in detail what I should expect from the cleaning and anything I needed to improve to better my dental hygiene. He was very accommodating and put me at ease with his conversational approach and genuine care for his patients. I am thankful that my insurance covered their services and for the kindness they provided for me before, during, and after my visit. I highly recommend this dental office!

Love Dr. Zabolian and his staff! The practice is very organized (I never have to wait past my appointment time), extremely modern (technology and decor), and the prices are very fair.Dr. Zabolian truly is an expert dentist and is super kind and attentive – 7 month’s later and he still remembers little details from my last visit. Today, I had a  cleaning and whitening treatment – absolutely no pain and my mouth feels super nice inside and my teeth look great! FIVE STARS all around!

Samaritan Dental Arts offers a wide range of procedures. For basic tooth care needs they offer procedures such as: cleanings, fillings, crowns, and root canals. Besides the basic, the offer a range of cosmetic procedures including: deep cleanings, Invisaline teeth realignments, veneers, and bleaching. Samaritan Dental Arts does accept you whether or not you have dental insurance. If you do though, you’ll be happy to know that they accept almost any and all dental insurance policies including Delta Dental PPO, though they don’t accept HMO so it’s best to check with your insurance before you go in and get any work done

What can I say? I went to the  dentist for the first time in 5 years and left with 2 fillings repaired, my chipped front tooth bonded and an appointment to get a follow up deep cleaning (he can do it all at once unlike other dentists that try to break it in 2 sessions. Trust me, I actually need this. It’s not just an unnecessary procedure). I checked out with the office girls within an hour of arriving. Everything covered by my insurance and they were so pleasant, I felt like I cheated them by not giving them something. I missed my follow up appointment due to some scheduling snafu on my end, but I need to make these ladies cookies, or something when I come back. It’s rare to find a comfortable, clean dentist office, close to home, with state of the art equipment, a cool, talented dentist that is quick and gentle, AND a great office staff that treats you like family

This is an incredible dental office & I highly recommend Dr. Zabolian & Samaritan Dental Arts. Dr. Zabolian & his assistants are great! They all have great personalities & really put you at ease & make sure you’re comfortable. Everything is explained & although you’re at the “dentist”, you don’t really feel like it (The music is a nice touch) I hadn’t been to a dentist in years, so on my way to the office, I had this nervous energy & apprehension, but it wasn’t needed. Glad to finally have a dental office I feel confident about, such a relief!

Dr. Z. is an excellent  Dentist. He takes pride in being a perfectionist and his work is perfect. My experience with Dr. Z was painless and the ending results were better then I had ever expected. He is caring, thorough and so good at what he does. He always makes sure you are comfortable and talks you through what he is doing, plus there are great tunes to drown out the drill!I  Dr. Z sincerely cares about his patients. It is without hesitation that I recommend Dr Z. The integrity, professionalism, and care he extends to his patients is unmatched in the industry. I highly recommend his office to anyone!!! Thank you Dr Z. 🙂

Ok so coming to the dentist is not where I want to be Saturday morning but it is appreciated that a GREAT dental office is open on Saturdays, Dr. Z is a great dentist he is upbeat, funny and tries to make you feel comfortable when you come to see him,  his cleanings are very detailed and the dentist does them himself,  the assistant is very nice and gentle with xrays, and the receptionist is very welcoming and helpful if you have any insurace questions.  I will definitely bring my children and husband to see him, also the office is very clean and organized

So lucky to have found Dr. Z and his staff! I wanted to replace some silver fillings I had and needed to get couple new fillings. As opposed to other dentists I had been to, Dr. Z was very clear and honest as what was realistic and what I should expect when replacing my silver filling for composite. His prices are reasonable and his work is top notch. I am so glad I decided to let him work on my teeth! On top of his excellent work, his staff is super friendly and professional. I’ve been to many different dentists but now I found Samaritan and I don’t think I’ll ever need to look for a new one

Coming from a small town in Indiana where my dentist literally came to his office at midnight, on a Saturday Night, to fix my chipped 2 front teeth… I thought I would never find the same amount of care in a large city like Los Angeles. I WAS WRONG! I called Dr. Alan Zabolian at 9am as soon as they opened and explained that my filling had chipped. His team’s response was, “how fast can you get here?”… By noon I walked out with a perfect smile again. Dr. Zabolian not only fixed my chipped tooth, but also smoothed out and crafted my other front tooth (where I also have a filling) so they perfectly matched each other. Dr. Zabolian is a highly skilled dental professional with amazing attention to detail. I would highly recommend Samaritan Dental Arts to anyone who is looking for not only an amazing dentist, but a dental staff who treats you like family

I’ve always been particular about the dental offices I visit.  I found this one about 3 or 4 years ago; it’s been a while!  In any case, I’ve been seen solely by Dr. Zabolian for the past year and a half and let me just say, he makes every effort (without any) to make you feel at home and accommodated. Dr. Zabolian is very relaxed and down to earth but still very much a professional.  I’ve never had a bad experience or felt any pain during his procedures. The office is small and private, yes, but it’s just the way I love it. I don’t like bumping into other patients or waiting and if you don’t either, you should consider changing to Dr. Zabolian. Parking is easy and convenient.  I would recommend parking on the highest covered level and walking the stairs the remaining way up.  The building elevators can be kind of slow.  Besides, the office it located right across from the stairwell adjacent to the parking structure. Even if I didn’t have medical insurance, I would still continue to see Dr. Zabolian and if he moved offices, I would still make the drive to him

Having had horrible dentist experiences throughout childhood I never looked forward to visiting a dentist….until now. Dr. Z, Alma and everyone who works there has been nothing but kind and supportive. They never once made me feel bad for the state of my teeth, and always cared more about what would be best for my health. I’ve had experiences with past dentist’s where they shame you into feeling bad for not taking care of your teeth (Which I understand, but sometimes life just happens). Dr. Z and his whole team made me want to take care of my teeth more, and their support made all the difference.They were also very transparent about how much everything would cost and always laid out my options, never ever trying to force me into a more expensive path of treatment just for the sake of it.
I honestly don’t have a single bad thing to say, the office is great, appointments are on time (they don’t keep you waiting!), Dr. Z’s work is impeccable, so what are you waiting for? Especially if you have any previous dental anxiety, trust me you’ll be in great hands!

I was 100% satisfied with my dental experience with Dr. Zabolian. The staff managed to fit me in last min the same day I called. Since I was in a tremendous amount of pain, from work done by another dentist. Unlike my previous dentist Dr. Zabolian took the time to educate on the reason causing my pain. Pulled up X-rays and gave me a great understanding of things and gave me a plan as well.

I’d been in need of some serious dental work after years of neglecting myself oral treatments. I searched several dentists around LA, until finding one that I felt suited me, and I couldn’t be more relieved finding Dr. Zabolian’s office! I feel so at ease with Dr. Z, trusting his input and abilities. He speaks to you, making you feel extremely comfortable. His office is very welcoming, as well as the staff. I plan on continuing many more visits here, and will recommend this establishment to others. A+

I have had a temporal fear of dentists that was unbelievable! Before going to Alan Zabolian I was likely to faint at the chance of overhearing discussions of dental work around the proverbial water cooler. I took a chance with the great discount mailer and called him. He saw me right away. These are the adjectives I can list so far, kind, professional, gental, communicative, fast, responsive, positive, affordable and attentive. My cleaning and x-rays were completed rapidly and he set out a reasonable course of action for my future work. I was put at ease and remarkably my fear of dentists was washed away. About a week later one of my teeth broke while I was at work. He responded rapidly and had me in his office to repair my tooth rapidly early the next morning saving me plenty of time to get to work. I am impressed with him because he does not try to sell me unnecessary work, he listens well to what I want, and is interested in me keeping my teeth healthy. My next visit was for fillings of cavities. He worked fast and I had absolutely no fear of the drill. It might sound a bit much to say, however I feel this is a life changing experience. As I was completely debilitated by my fear of dentists before and Alan Zabolian is the best dentist to go to. I highly recommend him. Thank you!

Just had my first visit today and dare I say that a trip to the dentist was a pleasant one?! I found Samaritan Dental through Yelp and was pleasantly surprised when I found out they were an in network provider with my dental insurance! I’ve been putting off getting my dental work done for years and I finally bit the bullet and decided this was the year I stopped running away from the dentist and get everything taken care of like a real adult. Each person that I encountered was helpful, friendly and most importantly made me feel comfortable. Dr. Zabolian took the time to thoroughly explain my xrays to make sure I knew exactly what was going on and what needed to be done. He did not make me feel pressured and I left excited to make my next appointment. I had a great first experience but will definitely update my review after my next several upcoming visits!

It was a good experience ,Dr zabolian and staffs are doing their best job to take care of your tooth, the staffs are so friendly and always welcome you with smile, Dr explains any step need to be done and cares about his patients more than his pocket. I recommend this office 100%

I am a Senior and have experienced more than my share of Dentists and i find Dr. Z and his staff to be exceptional: they are friendly without making you feel as if you ‘re a candidate for the old folks home, they are totally professional and Dr. Z knows how to relate to people who are old enough to be his parent (or grandparent). I ACTUALLY do not mind going to the dentist when I visit the office and staff!! And Dr. Z is both caring and professional

I recently called to Inquire some information about Dr. Zabolian. I spoke with an energetic and informative receptionist who let me know that the Dr. graduated from NYU and currently does all types of dental work from deep cleaning and fillings to invisiline. They do not do work on traditional braces however. They are available for appointments as soon as next week and accept appointments Monday-Saturday but are closed Sunday

I’ve been coming here for a year for regular cleaning and check ups since I switched to PPO. Dr Z, the hygienist (forgot her name but she’s great), and the staff were all wonderful and professional. Although I’ve had braces and lots cavities as a kid (hence lots dental visits), as an adult, I’m horrified of going to the dentist lol. I hated lying there on the chair, not knowing what’s going on in my mouth and I hate talking to dentists who would try to get money out of me for reasons not in my best interest (which was verified by 2nd and 3rd opinion.) but NOT HERE! They made me feel comfortable and at ease as much as they could. Also every time I went in, they gave me goodie bags 🙂 The only negative thing I must note is the parking. They don’t validate for parking and it’s a bit pricey. It is dtla though after all so be aware of that and make transportation plan accordingly. Anyway, give them a call!

This place pretty much saved my life. (Okay that’s a little dramatic) But I was in a unique/bad situation and Dr. Alan took care of me. I had a prior front crown that I had for 10 years. (Still looked good) I was biting into a mango and my whole entire front crown broke in half. I looked like a freak, you never realize how important of a factor a smile plays. So the nitty gritty, I just left a Corp job 2 months prior and my dental insurance just ended and hadn’t started my new job yet plus missing two months of pay from not working. I explained the situation and this place worked with. Thank God… Tooth/Crown looks amazing. I would recommend them to everyone. Look at these Yelp reviews, he is doing something right

This dental office is by far the best I’ve been to! There never is Any wait. The staff is very welcoming and highly professional. When I first came to this office I was so nervous. I have been in treatment for quite some time now and am almost done! Dr. Zabolian placed two implants for me along with some crowns and fillings. He did an awesome job! His assistant was very friendly and put on my favorite music while dr worked on me. How cool is thAt! The receptionist was very kind and welcoming when I checked in. If you need a good dentist this is the man for you! Thanks Dr. Z you and your staff are amazing looking forward to my next appointment see you soon!

Hello everybody, Let me start off by saying about my experience in Samaritan Dental Arts with Dr. Alan Zabolian and his amazing staff. 5 stars just aren’t enough for this amazing Samaritan Dental Arts. Dr. Alan is one of the most caring and thorough dentists ever, and his friendly staffs are exactly the same way. The front desk assistants are super nice and extremely friendly and they will answer any question you may have. Dr. Alan is the best dentist I have ever met. He is super professional and very knowledgeable about what he’s doing. He is very skilled and pays attention to details. I had my crown and whitening done with him and his amazing professional hygienist, and I’m completely satisfied with the result. Highly recommend Dr. Alan and his professional staffs

I’m so grateful to have found this ah-mazing dentist in LA!!!  I have been going to Dr. Zabolian biannually, since Summer 2015.  He is so caring, honest, trustworthy, and only tells you the work that your teeth truthfully need.  He doesn’t lie, nor strongly suggest you to allow him to perform something unnecessary, simply for his wishes to get some extra bucks.  And if you have any questions, both during or after an appointment, he is so glad to respond to your confusion/curiosity.  You can tell that the main reason he is a dentist, is to first and foremost help his patients with all of the important and necessary dental hygiene that each of us need.  In the past few years that I’ve been here, all he needed to recommend/execute were fillings.  I have also got a few of the standard/regular X-rays. And an example of what Dr. Zabolian DOESN’T strongly suggest that ISN’T a necessary dental execution: the LA dentist I went to DIRECTLY PRIOR to Dr. Zabolian, strongly recommended me to get the top layer of my two front teeth shaved off, followed by putting a replacement layer on my teeth that supposedly would be the same white color as the rest of my teeth (this was encouraged, due to the fact that I have a very bright white spot on each of my two front teeth – I’ve had that since my mature teeth developed when I was young).  It’s clear that the main reason that the PREVIOUS dentist is working with patients, is simply to get extra bucks by performing costly tasks.  I became so un-trusting of that old dentist, because I could only imagine OTHER things that he would wrongly suggest to me, that weren’t truthfully necessary.  I didn’t want to have to worry about analyzing/ researching all of his future suggestions. Therefore, I asked a few friends, and heard about Dr. Zabolian!!!!  After all these years, I am SO GRATEFUL about Dr. Zabolian – he keeps it so honest, and has NEVER suggested ANYTHING that isn’t necessary for my dental hygiene. I also am grateful for dentists/physicians who treat me as a person, and care about not JUST my teeth/body parts, but ALSO who I am as a being.  I’m not sure how important this is for other people, but he has such a great people-to-people relationship – every time I visit, he asks how I am doing, and if there is anything new going for me.  I appreciate that caring aspect of his work

One of my friends recommend this dental office to me so I decided to give it a try. Dr. Zabolian is very friendly, knowledgeable and caring. He explained every procedure he is doing and the purpose of the procedure to me. I left the office having learned a whole about my teeth and felt properly educated on how to prevent dental problems down the line. I was super happy with the front desk who greeted me and welcomed me to the office and got me scheduled for my next dental appointment in six months. Highly recommend this dental office, front desk staff and doctor!

A friend of mine recommended me to come here for my dental work and all I can say, for having a fear of dentists as far as I can remember, I had a great experience. They were very gentle and informative. The doctor , Dr. Z, was very polite and did an amazing job. The assistant, Lina, was very helpful and I was welcomed very politely by the receptionist, Alma. They took very good care of me, and even had a goodie bag for me to take home. 10/10 Highly recommend this dental office to everyone

Great Dentist, Obviously knows what he’s doing! His office excepts Delta Pro, And they will schedule you a appointment as long as you call them. His Staff is very well rounded and courteous people! His office does anything from teeth cleaning to implants, they are not open Saturday and Sunday’s. But they do have emergency dental appointments available at any time!

I hate going to the dentist!  I am almost 60 yrs. old and I was hoping to die before having to go the dentist one more time.  I have had nothing but bad experiences with some of the most credentialed dentists in L.A.  It didn’t matter what the pedigree, I always managed to get a “raw deal” because of my extra long roots. I was eating a bagel chip and lo and behold, I broke a tooth.  After about 3 days, it became infected and it was apparent to me it would have to come out as my pain was getting worse instead of subsiding.  so, in desperation, I took the plunge.  I called up all my friends and asked for referrals from them and recommendations on a dentist that wouldn’t try to rip me off because of my emergency situation.  I ended up calling three different dentists early thurs. morning and about 4 oclock thurs. afternoon, I canceled them all out of dread of seeing another butcher.  Finally, 4:30 rolled around and out of desperation, I went online and researched yelp for a recommendation.  I took the plunge and called Dr. Z fully expecting his secretary to turn me down for an appt. that same day. Not only did she not turn me down, she insisted that because of the nature of my situation, i get to the office as soon as possible no matter how long it would take me even though they had never seen me before and had no way of knowing if i was going to show up.  To make a long story shorter, Dr. Z took his time in extracting the tooth and made sure that I was comfortable every step of the way.  The staff was friendly and encouraging and overall, it was the most pleasant experience i have ever had in a dentist’s office. (If an extraction can be considered a pleasant experience.) Even more astounding, they didn’t try to jack up the price because of the emergency extraction like another dentist did to me 3 yrs. ago nor did he even charge me for the x-rays.  I don’t know if Dr. Z is a religious man or if he practices any religion but His aura is that of an extremely spiritual person.  I am a believer and needless to say, I highly recommend this man and his practice.  I hope he sticks around for awhile because i have a lot of work that needs to be done to my mouth.
