PATIENT REVIEWS

I went to Dr. Apelian when I had an emergency extraction.  The doctor is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He evaluated my teeth and gums and suggested a surgery. I couldn’t be happier with the results, he fixed a problem I had had for many years and no other dentist was able to identify it correctly. Thanks to his advice, I wear my dental night guard every night and I notice less grinding. Dr. Apelian truly cares for your well being. Oral health is not only the result of a beautiful smile the but the health of the whole body. I trust this doctor, he is a brilliant professional.

First and foremost, Dr. Apelian is an incredible human being. You will not find a more dedicated doctor to his patients. He is an incomparable talent in his field, by all means. Passionate, professional, caring, considerate and a skillful master at his craft. I have not only entrusted myself with him for decades but also numerous family members and friends. He always makes sure you are comfortable every step of the way and addresses every concern while educating you on any given dental matter.  Oral health impacts your entire body and the longer you delay things, the worse it gets. Having a reliable and trustworthy dentist is one of the most important things you can have in life.  Special thanks to his wonderful team of specialists for their continued invaluable work, dedication and excellent service- Zella, Garen & Mariela

We have a new dentist in Agoura Hills. I went to him in May with substantial dental work. He gave me a very competitive quote, and looking at his office and talking to his staff decided to get my work done here. His office is brand new with the latest and greatest equipment. He’s definitely a hard working dentist that does it all. From implants, root canals, extractions and I don’t think there’s anything he doesn’t do. I wouldn’t give a review, since all my work isn’t 100 percent done but what he has done so far is quite remarkable. I just need to get my permanent crowns and I’ll let you know then how all my work did. It beats driving over the hill and is so convenient to Agoura. Just off Reyes Adobe and south up on the hill. “Hilltop” Dental. Dr. George is a pleasure and again a great dentist.

I came to Dr. Apelian in need of a crown for one of my two front teeth. I have never been more pleased in my life with the results. He gave me my smile back and allowed me to move on from being self conscious about my smile. After an initial surgery I had a dental emergency with my temporary tooth, gave the dentist a call and he came in on a Saturday to help me out and make sure I was ok. Hands down the best dentist in the area. Give him a try you will absolutely be pleased with the results. The staff is caring, kind, and are always willing to help. His office is beautiful and the views are amazing! 5/5 would recommend to anyone.

My family and I have been going to the best dentist Dr. Apelian for many many years. He is the most professional and compassionate dentist I have ever met. I have personally had cleanings, wisdom teeth extracted, cavities filled and root canals by Dr. Apelian with always the best outcome and least amount of pain. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable throughout the experience and he’s very funny too! Dr. Apelian’s team is excellent… Garen, Zella and Mariella always make sure to take care of all the patients and are always a delight. His office is stunning with beautiful views of the mountains which help provide a relaxing environment. I highly recommend Dr. Apelian for any of your dental needs!

This is a breath of fresh air! When so many health care offices treat their patients like an assembly line it is so awesome to have a dentist that knows your name, your kids name and even your dogs name. We have been going to see Dr Apelian for a long time now and it makes me feel good when he comes into the waiting room and greets everyone and hugs our kids. The real test is the fact that he greets everyone in the waiting room the same way. This is all nice but what really matters is his work. Solid work!  He is a really good dentist.  I moved a few years ago and it was a long drive to see Dr Apelian so I tried not one but two local dentists. I immediately found out that I had been spoiled by Dr Apelian. Both dentists charged me more than Dr. Apelian and their work was no where as good. I now suck up the hour and a half drive and have returned to seeing Dr Apelian.  In the last visits he did several implants for me. Something that is as important as an implant i wouldn’t trust with any one else

I went in After Office Hours as a girl-friend of mine recommended him called and he said be there by 6:15 P.M…Nothing any other dentist would do!  I had a severe toothache (thought it was the back  two), earache, sore throat was wobbly from pain.  He was there with one of his staff member.  Looked at my mouth immediately told me the problem (before the x-ray) to my surprise. Was funny and highly informative. Worked on my front tooth. Killed the pain and to my greater surprise I never felt anything as he worked on my mouth!! Or afterwards. This never happened ever with any dentist I have seen. Kept asking him what is he doing and he just said  “I love my work, I have dedicated all my life to it”.  Second visit was x-ray first found the pus on the gums did two root canals drained the pus. All this from an accident I had last year.  He did something interesting!  He cosmetically worked on my smile Did  NOT charge for it, did not charge for the x-rays either!!! I never asked for a discount and was given a discount at the counter. My crazy fighting spirit looking for discounts was never used, diffused, and confused pleasantly. He is highly trained and experienced and I only needed one dentist not a periodontist, plastic surgeon, cosmetic dentist, endodontist because he is an All in One Dentist!!  and much more. What a gem of a doctor a wonderfully devoted  human being. How much better can it get!!!

Hilltop Dental is a place I can trust. I love the staff and professionalism. As soon as you walk in there’s always somebody greeting you with a smile, and above all love my dentist Dr. George Apelian. He is very professional, pays attention to detail and it’s his goal to make your smile looking the best and that suits your face. Takes his time to explain every single phase of your procedure and want to make sure you are comfortable and satisfied . I see progress and difference in my dental work with every visit. I highly recommend him, you will walk out with a beautiful smile and very happy.

Dr. Apelian is an excellent Dentist. I can smile again and feel good about myself. Thank you! Thank you! He is someone who deeply cares about your health and your well-being.Their office is clean, the staff is friendly and I highly recommend this professional office.

I was referred to hilltop dental from a good a friend and from my first visit I noticed the care and expertise. I had issues with my gums and needed a deep cleaning, the DR right away explained the issue clearly and got to work. I had the Least painful and most enjoyable visit at a dentist in the longest time. This office uses the latest technology in dental practice, and the fact that the office had the most amazing view helps when being treated. The staff are exceptional, professional and caring. The level of care goes above and beyond my expectations all the time. They dealt with all of the tough questions that I had and the hard to reach insurance companies. Overall I am very happy about my decision with making hilltop dental my dentist.

Hilltop Dental is very reliable place to fix your teeth. Dr. George Apelian is very professional and kind. He gave me the most detailed explanation as far as what is going on with my teeth now and what our goal is, to make my smile beautiful and healthy. Their front desk and overall customer service is extremely nice and professional. I would definitely recommend Hilltop dental.

To say i felt at home would be an understatement. The attention to care and detail i received form this doctor had me feeling like my own dad was pulling my tooth out. As calm as can be he cleaned out and finished the procedure quicker than imagined. I 100% recommend this Dr to anyone who is even remotely thinking of removing their wisdom teeth. He is honest and fair and will direct you away from removing if he genuinely believes you don’t need to take them out.

Today I entered the dental office once again, nervous to have my last 2 wisdom teeth pulled out. I remember when 2 weeks ago Dr. George Apelian took out the first 2, I could not eat for several hours afterwards. To tell you the truth, I get hungry quickly, so I was not looking forward to starving again. But just as everytime I have come to this dental office, whether it be for mouth cleanings or veneers, today I was once again welcomed and comfortably situated and ready to go, fearless. The dental staff strike a conversation with you, easing your nerves and showing how much they personally care for you. The doctor then arrives with his assistant and automatically knows what he needs to do because he remembers from the previous visits; he always recalls every individual patient and what needs to be done with them. He situates you on the operation seat and uses heart-warming words so as to develop that special doctor-patient bond  everyone longs for. He makes you feel special because he uses phrases like “Oh, he/she is a special boy/girl, so it is very important that we do not leave him/her with an ounce of pain”.  Dr. Apelian has been my dentist since I was 7 years old and my parents could not have chosen a better dentist. He is serious  about his profession as well as being committed to eradicate any damage, pain, uneasiness, and unpleasantness you might experience. I’m going off to university soon, and I’ll still come during the weekends to have Dr. Apelian check up on me.

I met Dr.Apelian two years ago when I had to remove my wisdom teeth . The doctor and the crew are extremely professional , nice and honest . the procedure went smoothly with no pain, no infections ,I was treated absolutely by the best doctor and crew . A year later I was involved in a serious car accident and I lost some of my front teeth – I had no doubt I am 100% going to Dr. Apelian. I had to get implants , crowns , venires and gum surgery.
the doctor did an amazing job! He is soooo good when I went to Israel to visit my mom ,she wanted to take me to her dentist to take a look at my teeth . the dentist looked at my mouth and she was shocked . she said she has never seen such a good job before , she called all the other doctors from the other rooms and showed them this amazing work in my mouth . she said there is ONLY ONE doctor in the whole country that can do a job like that!! she was amazed by the quality and really impressed by the doctors work . The doctor always made sure to make me feel comfortable ,he is hard working ,has a heart of gold, he takes care of his clients like we’re family .  He is really one of a kind ! I enjoy every visit at the office I highly recommend this place for ANYONE that is looking for a good doctor with the best customer service !

Dr.  Apelian is hands down the best dentist. I searched through so many different dentists to find a new dentist for general and cosmetic needs and I’m happy to say I’ve found my dentist! He is gentle, kind, honest and extremely knowledgeable and he listens to patient’s needs. The staff are all so kind which makes it a lovely environment. The office is gorgeous with relaxing views and décor and is state of the art. I found my home for my future dental work. And I have already recommended him to my entire family.
Thank you Dr. Apelian and staff!

Dr George has been our dentist for over 35 years. His great care, attention to detail, passionate and sincere effort in healing is greatly appreciated. We would recommend dr George for all dental needs from general to implants and much more. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

You probably are one of those people like me that doesn’t like going to the Dentist.
Why ? Usually the office is not bright cheerful and smells odd not to mention pain!!! Well forget all that, when you walk into hilltop dental you know you have arrived somewhere really special. It should be called a dental spa not a dental office.
The staff ? Exceptional in every way!! Dr George is amazing this is my second visit and I was actually looking forward to coming. Sounds crazy right? It’s not, he is so gentle and knowledgeable about dentistry and I trust him with my whole family. My daughters and son use Hilltop Dentistry as well. Do not hesitate trust me this is the place to come to.

Exceptional dental experience in a unique one of a kind office setting.  Dr Apelian has been taking care of my dental needs for years.  If your looking for someone with vast amount of experience, look no further.  Taking the pain out of dental care is what hilltop dental is all about.  Easy to get to and plenty of parking.

Dr. Apelian is worth his weight in gold! I came to him after going to several other dental offices with sever pain. Every single one was after one thing, money. In the past I was fooled into getting work done that later had to be redone so I was not to be fooled again. Dr. Apelian made simple recommendations and seeing him as a perfectionist he went the extra mile and did other gum work to set me for life.

This is the first time I have written a Yelp review for anyone but it is deserving. I had nothing but great experiences while going to see Dr. Apelian. His team was great and he did a great job explaining everything that he was doing and listening to what I had to say. He kept me calm during  my visit and answered all of my questions. After seeing many different dentists I can say that Dr. Apelian and his team are the best I have seen and I will continue to go there and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Every time I visit the facility for my dental care I always welcomed with a smile and treat me like a family member. It is a place were you always want to come back. Dr. George and asisstant always make sure you feel comfortably. I thank God for all of you at HILLTOP DENTAL. Guillermo Romero

what can I start with? I can’t say enough about the quality of work and the wonderful service I received from Dr. Apelian and his wonderful staff. After the first consultation, I felt how honest, dedicated and caring Dr. Apelian is!! He was straight forward with me and I knew that he is a dentist who I can TRUST. You will notice his high self confidence and his honesty right away. His team were amazing! They provided me with a great service and were very professional.The office is very clean and beautifully decorated. If you are looking for a great dentist, Dr. Apelian is the one! Kudos and the highest recommendation to this amazing dentist and everyone at Hilltop Dental.Thank you!!

Dr. Apelian is AMAZING! He took amazing care of my 19yo sister with severe Autism. He worked non-stop for 3.5 hours and performed major dental surgery while she was under general anesthesia that was provided by Dr. Andrew Chen. Both doctors, and the entire Hilltop Dental Team, were so attentive to my sister’s needs, and our anxieties. We can’t be more grateful!

Dr George Apelian is absolutely the best oral doctor or dentist I’ve ever had. He clearly knows his business and cares with action, not just words, for his patients. Today he finished a root canal for me and I almost fell asleep in his chair. It wasn’t from any anesthesia I was so relaxed, rather it was because I knew I was getting the best care and I trusted him. He’s an artist. When I first came to him two weeks ago, he helped alleviate some significant tooth and tongue pain I was having due to faulty work from a previous dentist and endodontist I had. Dr Apelian knew just what to do; an adjustment in a bulky old bridge I have, a bonding and reshaping of a couple teeth, and some free healing gel has me smiling ear to ear and feeling so much better than when I first came to him. Always a good wit and humorist, he makes you feel right at home in his cozy corner office facing beautiful Ladyface mountain and the waitroom coffee offered out on a private terrace is better than Starbucks too (Seriously). Makes me want to stop by just to say hello. I am so glad to have found a fantastic doctor and new friend Dr “George” and his gracious family at Hilltop Dental.

Dr. GEORGE B. APELIAN D.D.S is the kindest, most professional, experienced and highly accredited dentist my family has ever had the privilege of knowing. His impeccable reputations and distinguished credentials are more than I could have ever imagined for my child. Dr. APELIAN’s education is beyond reproach – Post-Doctorate, Hospital Residency V.A/UCLA affiliate hospital, Loyola University School of Dentistry; Chicago, Illinois and graduating with honors, completing his 4 year clinical program in just 3 years. There are too many professional Affiliates to list – but may I add they are impressive! Dr. APELIAN’s volunteer Community Services & Professional Outreach Achievements range from extensive oral rehabilitative procedures performed, free of charge, for underprivileged and developmentally disabled adolescent and young adults. Co-Founder of the Dental Clinic in Santa Barbara, California that once again offered developmentally disabled children and young adults low cost dental care. But Dr. APELIAN did not stop there he wanted to hit a little closer to his roots: He is the Founder and the sole sponsor of the Dental Clinic at the Salvation Center of Disabled Children in Shingavit, Armenia (Prkutyun.am). Since November of 2005, the clinic provided free of charge, much needed dental care to the very poor and the underprivileged. Over 10,000 families and individuals have been treated. The clinic still continues its mission to this day. The praises for Dr. GEORGE APELIAN D.D.S do not stop with education, impressive awards or philanthropic outreach, but continue into his long range goals: In his own words – “To continue to thrive in making planet Earth a better place for someone, each and every day”. How can you top that!! It’s impossible… He is a doctor with a very human bed-side manner. Dr. APELIAN is a father and husband that’s really in love with his family, wanting very much to make a better world for his son to grow-up in. Finally, Saturday December 6th is Hill Top Dental’s very first “HOLIDAY OPEN HOUSE”. Please attend and meet the only dentist that you will ever need. It is a brand new facility with state of the art equipment. The paint on the walls haven’t even dried – that’s how new and exciting this new dental practice is! Dr. APELIAN’s staff are well trained professionals that are grounded in the art of personalized health care, establishing a warm and genuine approach from the moment you enter the doors of Hill Top Dental in Agoura Hills, CA.

I have been going to Dr. Apelian for over 20 years. My wife and my children go with him as well as my in-laws. It is definitely a family centered dental office.  Not only is he a people person which is important, but his skill level is through the roof! When you can get a personable and patient dentist as well as one whose work comes with a high reputation, then you can understand why after 20 years he is still my go to dentist. Do you have a dental emergency? Well I’ve had a few over the years and he always fits me right in, right now! And when you’re in pain that’s important. I have had it all done from your very important cleanings, fillings, wisdom teeth pulled, implants and even surgery. His work is solid and has lasted me a long time. A big thank you to Dr. Apelian and all of his staff. I drive one hour to get to his office and I have no problem passing up the numerous number of dental offices along that route Because when you find the dentist that you trust and love then there is no need to take a risk and look anywhere else. I am a patient for life.

Dr George and his family run office has treated me with compassion and care. Highly skilled, he always has taken the time and steps necessary to make sure I am well taken care and confident in his plan. I came to him three years ago with my health and teeth in crisis and now after three implants, reshaping another bridge and some periodontal work, his services have been extremely instrumental in restoring both my health and my smile. Its not just the beautiful mountain views with free coffee that keeps bring me back even though I now live 2hrs away. He’s so much worth the trip, I can’t say enough. Thank you Dr George for understanding and treating me like family!

I’ve been going to Hilltop Dental for about two years now and even though its quite a drive for me, its worth it because he’s the best dentist ever! The staff is so nice, they’re quick, professional and the place is always so clean. I have zero complaints about this place. If anyone is ever looking for a dentist, I always send them to Hilltop Dental!

This amazing practice puts 110% of their time and effort to ensure the best dental care. They go ABOVE AND BEYOND for every patient and treat you as family. I feel so blessed and fortunate to have their care. I can’t stress it enough that Hilltop Dental will provide you with the absolute best dental care by combining state of the art technology with the expansive knowledge and experience of Dr. Apelian. Here you are not only a patient, you become family. They put your needs over their own which is rare for any business today.

I absolutely loved everything about my experience at Hilltop! Dr is the sweetest kindest man and every single one of his staff are compassionate, patient, sweet and cheerful! I called needing an emergency extraction and they accommodated me immediately and had me feeling better within hours. I have had not good experiences with other local dentists offices so this was truly a breath of fresh air. Their office is simply beautiful and the views are breathtaking! When it came to the extraction it was painless and took about 1 minute!!!! A huge huge thank you!!!!! I love you guys! Xoxox

Dr. Apelian makes going to the dentist so easy. I went two times in the last week to finish a root canal and had no downtime, swelling, or pain after leaving the office. I had called the office last minute and he was able to accommodate me so quickly! I feel so much better now. Thank you!!

I always have a great experience when I go into Hilltop Dental. The staff and Dr. Apelian really know how to make you feel welcomed and comfortable while you are there. I highly recommend visiting Hilltop for your next Dental appointment. Thanks again!

The best Dentist I have ever had! I made the switch about 3 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. Dr. Apelian is very professional and he’s always upbeat and makes you feel at ease.  Garen, the Office Manager is extremely helpful as well, and makes the whole office visit from start to finish, a very pleasant experience. Can’t thank them enough
