PATIENT REVIEWS

Someone advice me to see Moeiz office to check my teeth before i get my braces and he found out that my gums need detailed repair to heal. What i notice the doctor was very respectful and communicative for detailed processed that needs to be done as possible. Plus, his assistant who does cleaned my teeth are very confident to do the job in detailed manner. Well Im a hard working person and I can tell if the person are hardworking as well.Thumbs up!!!

Dr. Koshki is EXCEPTIONAL. He is very meticulous and takes his time during procedures. His calmly nature adds much ease while he applies the anesthetic medication. Vicki is very inviting and thorough with any/all details pertaining to insurance and getting it done – LOVE her!! Thank you Team Koshki!! See you again soon 🙂

Dr. Koshki has done an EXCELLENT job for me and me family over the years. He has a special light touch. I have been to other dentist but no one as good as him. He is really really good, and genuinely cares about you. There is never a long wait time, and he is always on time. We love him and his staff

I have been going to Dr. Koshki’s office for 7 years now. They have remained a valued staff who are knowledgable, honest and accommodating. I have further referred many colleagues to them who have remained as patients because of the care these people exude in their professional demeanor. They have seen me on short notice and offered advice when I needed options. Would recommend to anyone in Santa Monica or elsewhere.

I had a dental emergency and needed a crown put back on right away. I was given an appointment immediately and once there was serviced right away. The office manager was very helpful and the dentist and assistant were great. I was very happy with my experience and will likely return when I need more dental work. Thanks much!

A friend highly recommended Dr. Koshki as the skilled and caring dentist I was looking for. I didn’t wind up using the information until I was in the middle of an dental crisis and wound up leaving a message I never thought would be returned. Within minutes  a friendly woman named Vicki rang back and immediately began to problem solve the situation. Dr. Koshki and his staff were amazing in the clutch–everything my friend promised and more. Thanks Guys! Highly recommended—but don’t wait for the emergency, just go.

Dr. Koshki is a wonderful dentist. My family – husband, 9 year old and 7 year old and I- having been going to his office for the past 6 years with nothing but positive experiences. He’s great with kids and adults.  Last week my youngest needed a baby tooth pulled and he did it with such finesse that neither my son nor I realized he had pulled the tooth!  He said, “I’m just going to wiggle it around and you tell me when I should pull.” Well, he apparently pulled it out with the first “wiggle”! I highly recommend Dr. Koshki for anyone needing excellent dental care.

I had the opportunity to meet and have Dr. Koshki cement a crown back in for me today. He is a wonderful dentist who thoroughly explains every option and does not pressure you in one way or another. He seems very knowledgeable and although I have had just this one procedure done with him, I can tell that he is very careful, precise and a skillful dentist. HIs office is clean with sweeping views and very high tech equipment. Another plus is his assistant who seemed to work seamlessly with Dr. Koshki. Finally, I also want to point out the wonderful office manager who remembered me from one prior meeting. I was very impressed by this group and pleased to be a patient of this office.

Changing dentists is a daunting prospect. I’m very happy to have found Dr. Koshki and his super friendly and capable staff. Dr. Koshki is completely hands on, including the cleaning. And I greatly appreciate that they have an affordable first time offer for those without insurance that covers cleaning, exam and x-rays, as well as programs for continued services. I will gladly return for my next check up in 6 months.

Truly an excellent dentist. Years since he (and his friendly staff) worked on my teeth, I have suffered no problems. I once saw a different dentist after he relocated; they gave me an absurd treatment plan, stating all sorts of terribly unethical diagnoses (I pity other patients of that dentist; I can only hope they are not subject to medical malpractice) — so I located Dr Koshki again and was relieved by his opinion that nothing was wrong with my teeth at all. I know his opinion was in fact true because I consulted other dentists who provided the same information. He is very pleasant and relaxed and I would recommend him to anyone. My teeth have never been so healthy! Thanks! *Update 2017 ———- I wrote the above review in 2011. It’s now 2017 and I have only positive things to say about Dr Koshki and his staff. I always recommend people to go to him, and they then thank me in return for having found a wonderful dentist. He has always been kind and careful with my teeth. Thank you!

I have been a patient of Dr Koshki since he first came to Santa Monica and took over Dr. Kandel’s practice. I was originally Dr. Kandel’s patient. Dr. Koshki and his staff have always exceeded my expectations. In the past 10 years, I only had one cavity replaced and it was a good experience. I have had two different hygienists and both are excellent. And the office manager is proactive about scheduling, appointment reminders and changes in appointments. I had one experience that illustrates Dr. Koshki’s integrity. A couple of years ago, I misinterpreted what the hygienist said about one of my two fillings being ‘borderline’ about requiring replacement.  I showed up to my appointment to have it removed, I sat in the chair, a plastic dam was set up, and the doctor prepared a syringe of Novocain. Then he took a close look and decided that the cavity was ok and didn’t need replacement. That incident reassured me about Dr. Koshki’s honesty and ethics

We recently switched to Dr. Koshki at the recommendation of the orthodontist Dr. Paul Austin. So glad we did! The office manager, Vicki (with an “i”!) was incredibly helpful over the phone, email and in person, and even explained how our last dentist was charging us for procedures that weren’t even being performed. She also gave us great suggestions on toothpaste and mouthwash that isn’t too “spicy,” as the girls call it. Getting teenagers to take care of their teeth is a nightmare, so any tips at all are so helpful! Dr. Koshki is thorough and professional. He always gets us in and out quickly, and takes the time to explain everything to you. Most importantly, he is not trying to perform unnecessary procedures. Our girls had a lot of cavities, so we were staring down the barrel of a pretty big bill, but he was able to differentiate between the cavities that were just incipient (small/beginning) and with proper oral hygiene would not get worse, versus those that really needed to be worked on. He even stated that he thought it would be irresponsible to fill these small/incipient cavities at this stage, as in order to fill them they would have to scrape away at the existing tooth, which would hurt the structural integrity of the tooth more than it would help it, and with proper oral hygiene the cavities should not get bigger anyway.  Oh! And the last dentist was trying to convince us to have both of the girls’ wisdom teeth removed, and Dr. Koshki insisted that this was absolutely not necessary, and that a good dentist should not even begin thinking about removing wisdom teeth until someone is about 18 or 19 years old. So all in all, what the other dentist quoted at about 5-6 visits per girl, Dr. Koshki was able to accommodate in 4, TOTAL, cutting out a bunch of unnecessary time and money spent. Would not hesitate to go back, but hopefully if all goes as planned we’ll only need to see them for routine cleanings!

I’m genuinely confused as to how anyone could give Dr. Koshki or his staff poor reviews. He is the single best dentist I’ve ever had. I’ve recommended him to half a dozen people, and all of them reported back with similarly great experiences. They  office is high-tech, the hygienists exude competence, the office coordinator deals with your insurance so you don’t have to, and – alongside everything else – Dr. Koshki is quite simply an amazing. As for the specific criticism from the one person who apparently had a bad experience: I’ve never experienced anything like that. I’ve never been told I needed seemingly unnecessary work, nor has anyone else I’ve sent to the office. In fact Dr. Koshki has recommended a root canal and/or fillings for me exactly once in the six years I’ve been regularly going to his office. That was the very first time I came in, when I rushed in with a dental emergency that had me in excruciating pain, and when he stayed open late to treat me. Suffice to say the procedure was the exact opposite of unnecessary. Like many other people in the area, I first found Dr. Koshki via referral. Again, I had let a tooth condition get to the point of debilitating pain, and needed a dentist *now*. I asked a friend, they gave me the office phone number, and I called at about 2pm and explained my situation. The days’ appointments were obviously booked – and the day was almost over anyway – but they had me drive in immediately and just extended their work hours. The subsequent procedure was, for all that we were starting late, methodical and unrushed. Dr. Koshki worked through what had to be done to ease the immediate pain, and then he began treating the underlying condition. It obviously wasn’t a *happy* experience – having to rush to a dentist never is – but those are exactly the times when you want an experienced, skilled, *gentle* dentist. Dr. Koshki is all of those things. Highly, highly recommended.

Doctor Koshki is a GREAT dentist. When I moved here three years ago, I asked around for recommendations, and went to his office. I have never been disappointed with the friendly and professional staff, the facilties are accomodating, and Dr. Koshki is not only highly skilled and professional, but he shows a real concern for the comfort of his patients. NOTE: the one negative review on this site was from someone who chose not to be a patient, apparently from her own financial concerns. Review sites such as Yelp should delete reviews from such people, who are by their own admission ignorant. Although he is not the cheapest dentist in tow, Dr. Koshki in no way deserves such a bad review.

I have changed many dentists until i was recommended to Dr. Koshki by my brother. i have always been afraid of going to the dentists but Dr. koshki has changed this feeling and now i look forward to going to his office. Dr. Koshki is very honest, caring and very intelligent. I have had multiple operations done by Dr. Koshki and i have recommend him to all my friends. It is hard to find a good honest dentist these days and i feel lucky to have Dr. Koshki as my dentist.

Dr Koshki is very caring and professional I love going to him for my dental work . I love everyone work there and you do not associate that environment with pain that dental work has is very peaceful and professional you feel good to be there. Thanks all

Dr.Koshki is en excellent highly skilled dentist. He is very easy to communicate with and makes one feel comfortable. In my case he detected an infection that was going on for years and other dentists and even Periodontists ignored. I highly recommend Dr Koshki.

It is a true pleasure seeing everyone at Dr. Koshki’s office in Santa Monica. I go in every 3 months to ensure that my teeth and gums are healthy and looking good. I encourage ALL seniors to come in and see Dr. Koshki and his hygienist Sharona. They are kind and gentle, and they sure are thorough!

The ENTIRE staff at Dr. Koshki’s office are truly excellent.  Several years ago I was in need of extensive and advanced dental work.  The work, when completed, was far above the highest standard. As a result, when having my teeth cleaned, I was afraid it might be somewhat painful or uncomfortable.  Not so with Sharona, the hygienist.  Sharona is thorough yet gentle.  Very professional and always with a pleasant smile.  I would be remiss if I did not mention Vicki, the outgoing and very efficient office manager.  Want the best dental care available?  It’s as easy as 1 – 2 3.   1) Dr. Koshki,  2) Sharona, and 3) Vicki

Small, private office. Very clean and comfortable. They have a Keurig machine for coffee or tea whle you wait – but there’s never any waiting! I’m always seen at my appointment time. April is simply the best hygienist that has ever provided my care. She is super thorough yet completely gentle. She uses a laser on some of my trouble spots to help keep my gums healthy. This is a dental office with integrity and compassion

This was one of my best dental experiences. I had four fillings done and Dr. Koshki offered a painless experience. Normally I have a lot of anxiety going to the dentist, but this time my anxiety was minimal. Thank you for your professionalism.

Dr. Koshki is extremely kind and understanding. He was gentle on my cleaning, something other dentists I’ve been to were not. I got a deep cleaning done by Sharona and she was just as gentle – even though it was an invasive procedure – and informative. Very happy I found them, they have been helpful in all respects: pricing, timing, scheduling, and direction on how to upkeep my personal hygiene. They make it their responsibility to make sure you’re keeping your mouth healthy. Again, thank you to everyone in the office and I know I’ll be a patient here for a long time!

Dr. Koshki has provided our extended family with first rate dental care for many years. My experience with him has been all positive. He’s never tries to push unnecessary procedures and is always attentive to my requests and ready with any follow-up complaints.

Dr. Koshki and his staff are as good as it gets.  He’s an excellant dentist and, as important, he is honest and sincerely attempts to minimize pain.  My wife, my daughters and I travel from the San Fernando Valley to Santa Monica for his care and he’s worth it

My family and I have been going to see Dr. Koshki for several years now and find him to be very professional, patient, honest and compassionate. He and his staff are very kind and make it their duty to help whenever necessary. I have never had a problem making an appointment and never have to wait more than 5-10 min. max before I am siting in his chair and having work done. They schedule the time appropriately and I am in and out in a reasonable amount of time, unlike other dentist where you sit there for hours. I highly recommend his services an any of my friends and feel he is qualified in his area of work. I have been 100% satisfied and I am happy that I have him as a dentist. Crowns were perfect, cavities fixed, excellent deep teeth cleaning, and follow-up care telephone calls = wonderful work!

Dr. Koshki is the BEST!!! I have avoided the dentist for years out of FEAR… and he made me feel extremely comfortable… not only that but he made a root canal seem painless as well as crowns, fillings.  He is extremely nice and does meticulous work.. He is obviously very skilled at his craft.  Highly recommended. 🙂 smile!

By far the best dentist I’ve ever been to and certainly the best in Los Angeles! Dr. Koshki and his hygienists have the gentlest and surest touch and have never hurt my teeth or gums in cleanings or fillings. They have the latest technology available such as laser light wands to seal your gums after deep cleaning, which I’ve only needed once in 13 years of going there, since after that I followed their recommendations to come in every three months. I’m so glad that I have since between those regular cleanings and nightly flossing, I haven’t had one cavity since I started going there in 2005. Excellent staff, spotlessly clean and modern facilities, zero wait times ever, flexible pay plans and all you could hope for from a great dentist. I can’t recommend them highly enough! 10 stars!

It was my first visit and I appreciated all of the advance prep that was done for me to start my visit promptly such as sending documents to complete in advance. Update: 2nd visit is during the pandemic and they’re taking all the appropriate precautions. I felt safe with their protocols and the appointment still was on time and went smoothly.

A good friend recommended Dr Koshki’s practice back in 2000. I am very happy with his ability, detail and friendly staff as is the rest of my family. I have recommended him to other friends all of whom have had the same excellent experience His continual investment in new technologies assures we get the best treatment.

I began visiting Dr. Koshki about 3 year after seeing another local dentist for many years.  I required some extensive work and wanted a second opinion. He suggested other procedures which cost me about half of what the other dentist quoted.  Dr. Koshki was honest, fair and worked with me. I trust his judgment and abilities as a dentist and he is also a fine human being. He NEVER pushes anything and respects the opinions of his patient.  His staff is professional, friendly and extremely competent. I always feel “personally” treated and I never feel like I am in a “mill” environment. I have recommended him to several other friends who have been equally impressed.

I am  a pationt of Dr koshki for a  very long time ,i cannot recommend anyone better than him and his staff ,He always  provided the best care for me and my kids i have 3 kids that would not want to go to any other  dentist except dr koshki ,he is the best ,he is very pationt with his work . and the result is always been great .the office  staff also are very friendly ,i wish more docters would be like him.Dr koshki is a great dentist ,he spent as much of time you need to answer all the question and give you alot of information about your condition , you dont feel at all under stress or any pressure during the exam and treatment .he is just great.

Dr. Koshki is a genuine, kind, and caring professional. His boutique office located in the heart of Santa Monica is operated and maintained by a grand total of 5 employees – when you walk in you are immediately greeted by the warmth of this tightly woven team of individuals/family members that you can only find in an intimate office like this one.  The equipment is top of the line, the office is immaculate, the staff – patient and kind – all things you hope when visiting a dental professional – but the care and passion that Dr. Koshki and his employees provide turn that “sterile dental environment feel” on its head and you feel right at home. Dr. Koshki guided me through his consultation with the assistance of an inter-oral camera – everything was there for me to see on a screen. He would kindly pause on occasion when I seemed confused to tell me what he was doing, what the medical jargon he was using meant when he called out notes to his Dental Assistant – Jenny, and explained the results of my digital x-rays in detail. My new patient consultation included: an exam, x-rays, and a cleaning at a price that didn’t break the bank despite the fact that I had no dental coverage at the time and was paying out of pocket. Overall, I was 100% satisfied with my first time visit and will continue to see Dr. Koshki and his lovely team members: Vicki, Jenny, Sharona, and Dr. Benarroch in their friendly, judgment free, family-oriented office

Dr. Koshki is an amazing doctor. I have been going to his practice for over 5 years now and I can honestly say that I’m very happy with his work. I’m a very particular person when it comes to choosing a doctor and I do extensive research to make sure that I’m going to the very best and by now, I can say that Dr. Koshki is the very best. I highly recommend that you make an appointment with him if you are searching for a great dentist. He will take care of the health of your teeth, like no other doctor. I also very much like his staff. Every time I call the office, his receptionist, Vicki, is super sweet and always takes the time to ask how I’m doing. Doctor Koshki and his staff are very companionate and caring. All the qualities that I like to see in any doctors office!
