PATIENT REVIEWS

The best dental experience I have ever had! My whole life I was scared to go to the dentist and never let anyone do work in my mouth. I had pain and needed a root canal so I tried out this Dental office. They made me feel comfortable, made sure I had no pain and kept me calm through the whole experience! I cannot express the gratitude I have! Definitely recommended!

I was a little nerves at first to go to the dentist do to the pandemic. But my dental office made me feel at ease they are taking all the protocols to keep us all safe. This office always takes care of me. The most kind and honest staff. And the work and service is superb! Highly recommended!

I always feared going to the dentist till I started going to Dr. Barzivand. Very professional, honest, and thorough in his work. Facility is always clean, up to date technology, and the staff is super friendly.  It’s been a long time since I’ve gone to a dentist that I can trust.
Highly reccomend!

I don’t know about your dentist, but MY dentist Dr. Barzivand is so kind and an absolutely FANTASTIC master of dentistry!!!!!  My shirt says it all…”Kind people are my kind of people”.  I’ve been going to Dr. B for 3 almost 4 years now and every experience has truly been the best experience one could possibly have going to the dentist.  I needed a root canal on a tooth that has a crown .  Dr. Barzivand and his assistant Junior (who by the way is also AMAZING) were able to do the root canal THROUGH THE CROWN!!! Insert loud stadium cheer and clapping sound :).  I highly recommend Dr. Barzivand and his team. You know you need to go to the dentist, so make your appointment and GO!  I promise you will be in good hands.

XOXO

Some people hate to go to the Dentist but Not Me Because of the treatment I receive from Hancock Park Dental. When I first walk in I receive a warm Greeting from Vivienne who makes me feel so comfortable right away. Then it’s off to the Dentist chair. I have Vertigo so They accommodate me by adjusting the chair so I won’t get dizzy which I’m sure makes it a little more difficult for Doctor Barzivand to work on me. Doctor Barzivand and his assistant wear full protection so I feel safe from Covid. They work on my Crown and before you know it they are done and I had No Pain. My next visit is with Sheila the Hygienist who is also Very gentle , Very friendly, and when she was finished Cleaning my Teeth my mouth felt refreshed and my Teeth looked Whiter. As I described my Visit I Hope you see why I gave Hancock Park Dental a 5 Plus review

This office & it’s staff are the absolute best! If you’re someone like me who dislikes going to the dentist & gets nervous, trust me when I tell you that you’ll be okay here. I had about 6 services done by Dr. Ben and they were all great quality and the costs were affordable! His dental assistants were great too and truly attentive to your needs so that you feel as best as possible. I can’t forget the front staff which are so nice and they handle everything so quickly which I really appreciated. Overall I’m really glad I found them & will never go anywhere else for my dental needs. Thank you all so much! 🙂

If you are looking for a dentist in Los Angeles, don’t look further. From my Beverly Hills dentist I made my transition to him years ago, and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Wendt IS the best you can ever have protecting your oral health. His sunny personality and skilled easy hands will make your experience easy. His assistants are equally nice and professional. Dr. Wendt will always apply the best lont term approach for you. My mom had emergencies, and difficult situations with crowns and bridges. Dr. Wendt went out of his way to save her teeth, instead of an “easy-for-the-dentist” approach. Dr. Wendt is skilled, professional, and innovative-smart next to being a polite, cultured, sweet gentleman. The bottom line is: This doctor you can TRUST. Don’t hesitate, go and see him!

I have been coming here for years, and I have always felt very welcome. It feels like a homey, family environment where people remember who I am. Everyone here, from the radiologist to the hygienist, to the receptionist, to the dentist are all kind, thorough, and excellent at their jobs. I trust them to recommend the best treatments for me. They listen to me when I have questions, and I feel heard and cared for.

I just got two wisdom tooth extracted and trust me when I say that coming here was the best medical decision I made. Dr. B was/is super friendly and knowledgeable of his profession! He made me feel very very comfortable before, during and after the procedure. Even when I had questions, concerns and the usual nervous clarifications that comes with being at the dentist office, he never complained and was very detailed in answers. And his team! Kudos to this young team that made the atmosphere very refreshing! (Who would think that a Dental office could be?) Jackie (always had a smile), to Jonathan (very calm, professional, nice, and patient), to Jen (the lovely and cheerful assistant) to Gustavo (another assistant, such a sweet guy!) and the last assistant (never got her name. She was very kind and courteous)! They all say goodbye when they are leaving and ask the right questions just to ensure that they have all information needed for a smooth consultation and/procedure. Here’s a Tip! Call ahead to confirm an appointment because Dr. B is “in demand” so to speak. He always has clients. I’m not surprised because he is THAT good! I hardly leave reviews but I had to because this dentistry is the place to go for your dental needs (not that I wish anyone pain because we all know tooth ache is the absolute worst!).

Needed a new dentist after mine retired and I wasn’t feelin’ it with the new guy. A friend recommended Hancock Park Dental, and I couldn’t be happier. Everyone in this office is spectacular, from Jessica the hygienist to Viviana at the front desk who is super helpful and attentive. And Dr. Barzivand (Dr. B.) is the best! Such a perfectionist. I had to get two crowns in the back of my mouth, major work, I was anxious. But he got me through with care, attention to detail and humor, and now they look and feel amazing. A great experience, highly reco.

This man is the best dentist I’ve ever had. He never tried to talk me into anything I didn’t need and works within my budget and what I actually needed dental work on. He is the best. I almost don’t want to write this review because I don’t want him to be overbooked

This was a GREAT experience! I initially chose Affordable Dental because of the great reviews on Yelp and I have to say the experience surpassed all the positive reviews including being affordable. From the brand new office, which was spotless, to front desk check-in, to all of the assistants who were professional, friendly and polite. Dr. B was amazing and took his time, even though he was busy, to fully assess what dental work was needed and gave me suitable options. I was immediately comfortable and the procedure was effortless. Two thumbs way up!

“The one and only…*Affordable Dental* .. for a while I’ve been looking for a good dentist for my mom and finally I found Dr. Barzivand and his staff… I’m so glad we came to his office because from beginning to end it’s been such an amazing experience and my mom is very pleased with them…. Dr. B cares for his patients, and went above and beyond to give my mom the best options when it came to her teeth’s.. he is very very nice and he explains and answers any questions or concerns you might have, that’s such a plus!.. not to mention all of his staff is very welcoming and friendly.. they give the best customer service and they treat you like royalty… if you are looking for great service, friendly staff, great dentist and affordable.. this is the place to go .. you won’t regret it, I highly recommend this place.

Here is my longish in-depth review. I will start by telling you that I’ve been in excruciating pain for some weeks and found Affordable through yelp. As anyone is, you hesitate with reviews at first, but after reading the many reviews, I sent a message. They had me in right away. As a medical professional myself, I hold others to a high standard. From the moment you walk in, the staff is friendly, attentive and gracious. Now to the meat and potatoes, Dr. B is simply amazing. He is very thorough and detailed. He explained everything to me and answered all my questions. He made me feel comfortable. I, honestly felt at peace in that chair( yes, at peace in a dental office) and that’s not easy, as have an allergy to the common numbing medication. My tooth causing the severe and excruciating pain was broken, had an infection and in need of a root canal, build up and crown. Dr. B took his time with me, even though he had his other patients scheduled too. I NEVER FELT RUSHED. It’s approx 4 hours later and I’m not in pain, I can’t believe that. I have a little discomfort but when you have that severe of an infection it’s normal. Please, be your own judge, don’t be afraid, walk, run, take a bus, drive your car BUT don’t stay in pain. They are really a 5 Star dental practice. Thank you Dr. B and staff.

I’m happy to say that I’ve found my permanent dentist. All of the staff here are super nice and make you feel comfortable. I came in needing a root canal that a previous dentist started but was overcharging me to complete. I looked up a dentist that was both near my work and home, and closed a little later. Affordable Dental fit the bill. They had great reviews so I thought I would give them a shot. Best decision I could have made. I’ve always been terrified of dentists until I found Affordable Dental. They helped me out when my temporary filling was beginning to fall out and I came very close to their closing hours. Once in, they finished my root canal and got me a gorgeous crown for my tooth – goodbye pain! I’ve now set my appointment for my next exam and I can I finally look forward to going to the dentist without fear. Thank you sooo much! I will definitely recommend you to my friends, family and coworkers too!

I must say that out of all the dentists I have been to, Dr Payam Barzivand is the best. His office staff was so friendly and professional. They didn’t keep me waiting at all which other dentists and drs offices I always end up waiting a long time. Dr PB was so kind and friendly. He also cares about every question or concern you have and is so patient. It’s hard to find patient dentists these days that aren’t rushing you out or making you feel rushed. He did a great job on cleaning my teeth. I really felt great when leaving his office. I highly recommend Dr P Barzivand as a dentist and will refer all my friends and family to him as well because I want to share the great experience I had with him and his office staff!

Everyone in this office is incredibly kind, patient, and keen on explaining what they are doing and why they are doing it. I had a terrible experience with a dentist years ago that leaves me crying in just about every dental chair I sit in. But they made my two cavities that needed filling no big deal. It took thirty minutes but I never felt like they rushed. I just can’t say enough good things. Thank you!

I been to many dental clinics and wasn’t satisfied with none. I was referred by one of my coworkers to this clinic so I made and appointment, I was amazed on how my first appointment went on how friendly the front staff are and how comfortable the dr makes you feel. Dr. Barzivand did some feelings I needed as well as my deep cleaning and now he just pulled out my 4 wisdom teeth I did not feel a thing on none of my procedures he is so gently and always makes sure you are doing well and very caring. He is honestly the best dr I have ever gone to. His the reason why I want to go to the dentist now. I’m so thankful for meeting him. I highly recommend Dr. Barzivand you will love him as much as I do as well as his staff! Thank you Dr. Barzivand thank you very much because of you I’m not afraid of taking really good care of my teeth. I will always keep coming to you.

Wow… Search no further for a dentist! Dr Barzivand is your answer… You will not only get a great experience from the dentist, but the entire staff! Many people have had a fear of visiting their dentist and for good reason! But believe me, you will be put at ease with the professionalism and care at this office. You will first be greeted by the receptionist Viviana. Viviana is a concerned and caring person that will greet you with a smile and vibrant energy. She is not only friendly but knowledgable! Every issue from your teeth to your billing questions, she is “at the ready” to answer your questions. Pain? What pain? If you schedule a deep cleaning or a regular cleaning, you will never experience any kind of pain. Instead, you will have the experience of clean and healthy teeth and gums! Sheila the hygienist, is a meticulous, thorough and gentle woman. I enjoy the experience so much, with Sheila, I go back every three months! Jessica, who is Dr Barzivand’s assistant, is a joy. She makes you feel at ease…She has a calming and reassuring voice with a gentle manner. And now onto Dr. Barzivand… Wow… Now here is a highly trained man who is razor sharp. He listens to your needs and concerns… His exam is meticulous and precise. He explains each necessary step for your procedure. He is gentle, kind, compassionate and relaxed. I have had quite a bit of complicated work done with Dr. Barzivand and the results have been absolutely flawless! And now on the subject of the entire Covid experience… Let me tell you, this office is so clean you will feel safer than most doctors offices! Everything from the proper County guidelines and procedures for the Covid virus are adhered to… Temperature reading, mask wearing by the patients, the staff is equipped with their gloves, masks, shields, gowns etc are all in place… But the staff goes even beyond those measures. There are air purifiers in each room and they do not have a roomful of patients in the waiting room. In fact, I have only seen one other patient in the office besides myself. And I have been in that office a good 5 or 6 times since the pandemic hit. Are you saying to yourself, “Huh, how do I know that I can trust this team if their faces are covered up and I can’t see their facial expressions?” Ah, but you can… Those eyes… Look directly into their eyes and you will see trust… Sincerely, Mary-Ellen Dunbar

I loved Affordable Dental. I spent a good amount of time on Yelp looking up dentists where their reviews specifically said they didn’t feel like their dentist took advantage of them. I have insurance and though my insurance covers 60% of the costs I didn’t want to pay a small fortune to have work done. Every other dentist experience I have had I have felt that the dentist has tried to upsell me and the estimates for the work are exorbitant. I did not have that experience at affordable dental. They sat me down to explain the cost and it was the first time I wasn’t blow away by some absurd amount. The amount seemed fair and reasonable and I had my treatment. The offices look brand new. Parking was tough but if you get there early you should be fine. There is a lot behind the office but it fills up early due to the court house being across the street. As far as the procedure Dr. B did a good job of being friendly, explaining what he would do, and what pain I could expect. I had a tooth extraction and felt little to no pain. Dr. B did a great job. I would definitely go back because I feel they are honest and not trying to milk me for every dollar I have. I have joked with my wife that other dentist offices I felt like they were overcharging me so that dentist could buy their 17 year old an AMG G-Wagon to drive to Harvard-Westlake.

Dr. Barzivand is a wonderful dentist. I didn’t have an appointment, but I was in a lot of pain and he was able to fit me in. I had a DOUBLE EXTRACTION, which was quite pleasant because he’s actually the most gentle dentist I’ve ever had. And I’ve had multiple extractions and root canals. He actually took out both my top wisdom teeth a few years ago; also really comfortably. So there was no doubt where I was going this time. I knew I would have to get my lower right wisdom tooth extracted, but I had to get my broken tooth two spots in front of it removed too; no surprise. He was very quick and I felt no pain at all. I actually thought he’d only pulled the wisdom tooth out, when he said I was all done. He pulled the broken tooth without me even noticing; NOW THAT’S GENTLE!!! I will definitely be coming back for all my fillings bags and cleanings. Glad I found my new dentist!

I had not been to the Dentist in 10 years!  I had a lot of fear about pain and not knowing the staff.  I read their website page on how to make your 1st visit more comfortable and it really helped.  Dr. B was attentive and skillful in his dentistry.  He paid attention to my concerns and offered his professional advice.  I had no pain, just pressure when they pulled 1 of my teeth.  There is a onsite person to help you talk about the finances and they accommodated me without pressure.  “Staying positive about the dental experience is important, more things go right when you do” Dr. B says and I agree with him.  I would recommend him to everyone.

Highest kudos to Dr. Barzivand and the staff at Hancock Park Dental. I sincerely cannot thank them enough for their care and professionalism. Cleanings are thorough and gentle (I thought they were rough by nature until I came here). I’ve had crowns and buckles (they are excellent with shape, fit, color). Communication throughout is clear (and fun, if you’re the playful sort). Love these folks and I know I’m in the best hands.

I visited affordable dental because I had some work done at a different dentist office earlier this year, where I didn’t feel comfortable or as if I can trust the dr. After reading many reviews from different places this place was the best. Since the moment I walked in I felt welcomed, everyone works as a team to make you feel comfortable. After meeting Dr Barzivand I was happy to know he would be doing my root canal. He explained and made sure I understood everything from the X-ray. We agreed that my root canal had to be done ASAP but also had to be prescribed some medication for my infection. I was scheduled for my root canal for the following week. I didn’t feel nervous about this because he answers all your questions and you feel safe. I would also like to mention that dr barziband is constantly checking in to make sure you’re doing okay as he is working with you, he really wants to make sure you’re not in any pain or just scared. My root canal went great, all thanks to him and amazing team. Dr barziband is a true leader and amazing Doctor! Will be back soon 🙂

Dr Barzivand is absolutely incredible. I honestly went in not knowing what to expect, but when my procedure was completed, it exceeded all my expectations. I had a chipped tooth for quite a while, it chipped when I was skateboarding about five years ago, and I actually never thought about fixing it until my girlfriend told me how funny it looks. After a two minute appointment call and after a 20 minute procedure, my teeth looked brand spanking new. I’m impressed. I hope not to be back unless it’s a cleaning

Highest kudos to Dr. Barzivand, Dr. Wendt, and the staff here. I sincerely cannot thank them enough for their care and professionalism. Cleanings are thorough and gentle (I thought they were rough by nature until I came here). I’ve had crowns and buckles (they are excellent with shape, fit, color). Communication throughout is clear (and fun, if you’re the playful sort). Love these folks and I know I’m in the best hands.

Dr. Barzivam and his team of professionals have been providing my dental needs for the past two plus years since I moved to California. I have had procedures ranging from standard cleaning’s, multiple root canals to a complete set of crowns for all my upper teeth. I am amazed at the quality of the work done for me, while the cost has always been on the lower end of the spectrum. I can attest to this statement for when I was considering replacing ALL my upper teeth with crowns, (a fairly expensive procedure), I shopped around extensively. Dr. Barzivam came in being one of the cheapest in the LA area. The quality of his work however (both the labor and product), was what I would’ve expected from the most expensive Beverly Hills Cosmetic Dentist. I would highly recommend Dr. Barzivam and Affordable Dental to anyone and everyone based on my own personal, first-hand experiences. Dr. Barzivam is everything from professional to compassionate and will earn your loyalty!

I’ve had major dental work over my lifetime, seen many dentists and Dr. Barzivand is the best I’ve ever seen. Not only is he truly gifted as a dentist, he is a man of integrity. I needed major work and I was afraid I might lose my teeth due to neglect and medications. He always discussed ALL the options and never tried to oversell me into something that wasn’t necessary. Not only has he saved most of my teeth, he restored my beautiful smile. I can’t say enough good things about him. I love this guy and the staff is great!

Dr Barzivand has been my DDS for 3 years now. Not only are his prices significantly lower than his competitors, he is the kindest, most gentle dentist one could find. I have been suffering from dental phobia my entire life, usually requiring a sedative before going in for any dental work, but with the care of Dr Barzivand I have gradually started to not need it so much anymore. When I moved to LA I needed dental surgery (bone graft and implant of a front tooth), needless to say I was very scared and anxious. As I was shopping around for quotes, I was shocked at the high prices. Dr Barzivand worked with my budget at a very affordable rate, and provided me with the best care possible. His team is always nice and personable, helping to put patients like me at ease. I continue to go to him even though I live in the city and it’s a long drive, because he is simply worth it – financially, professionally, and emotionally. I can’t recommend him enough!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. B since 2011. During the past almost 4 years, Dr. B has helped me to save my teeth .. The doctor always takes the time to explain what is needed, why it is needed and most importantly what I can do to prevent further decay.. The office is very modern and clean. I have never had to wait for more than 10 mins to be seen. . They’re one of the few medical offices that keeps their appointments as scheduled. . I can not say enough good things about this doctor – I trust him with my teeth – That is the best recommendation I can give, my trust – Dr. B has always worked with me regarding prices and is extremely reasonable for the quality of care, the knowledge of dentistry and professionalism of his office/staff .. 5 Stars all the way –

My first time rating a dentist. First off, I am deadly afraid of the dentist. I’ve always hated going and that’s why it took me a few years to visit one. I went to Dr. Barzivand who was referred to me by my boss for a consultation; I have to say Dr. Barzivand is AMAZING. No pain, no nothing after getting a lot of work done. I highly recommend you visit him. Dr. Barzivand is really honest and explains every procedure being done and after care, and that is why I chose his opinion over everyone else’s. The staff is amazing, they all greet me. Literally, I have met everyone there. The office is super clean 🙂 All in all, this is a fantastic place to go!! Highly recommend. I’ll be coming back in the future and will keep up with coming every 6 months!

A friend recommended Affordable Dental to me as I was looking for a trustworthy dentist at a low price, which I thought does not exist! Well, I was wrong. When I walked in the morning of my appointment, I was greeted by the welcoming staff and immediately took x-rays. Dr. Barzivand then went over my x-rays thoroughly with me and then proceeded to clean my teeth. Even without any dental insurance, I paid pocket change for a dentist who is compassionate and caring towards his patients. I have already recommended Affordable Dental to family and friends. Thanks again Dr. Barzivand!

Dr.B is probably the only dentist I look forward to seeing. My first visit was a root canal (that I thought I needed) turned tooth extraction. I was happy to be fully informed of the procedure and treated with respect that I was comfortable enough to get my tooth pulled on the spot. The general staff is very friendly and great at accommodating my schedule. I am also very appreciative of the genuine care Dr.B and the staff show the patients from the initial concerns of insurance and payment all the way to the procedure and post care. Going to the dentist is usually stressful but Affordable dental takes away that stress.

It goes without saying that nobody wants to go to the dentist. I woke up with the worst tooth pain I’ve experienced in a very long time and placed a call to Affordable Dental. Dr. Barzivand was able to see me as an emergency patient and I can say right now this Doctor is one, if not the best dentist I have ever been too. He makes the process painless and as easy as possible. I was in and out in the time that most dentists keep you waiting in the lobby. I will for sure recommend Dr. Barzivand to anyone who is looking for a new dentist and highly recommend others to switch over and give this dentist a try! Thank you so much for all of your help! Truly a life saver!

Dr. B is an amazing dentist. He takes his time to explain procedures, makes sure you understand the treatment plan, and focuses of patient comfort and satisfaction. The ladies in the front are informative, kind, and patient. I’ve been late several times and they did not turn me away., which I am thankful for because I drive a distance to get here. I searched  for a dental office to get an implant and I’m happy I chose AFFORDABLE DENTAL. It was a great experience; fast, no pain, and the job was done with  experience and professionalism. Also, the cost was definitely affordable.
