Dentists of Glendale

Wow, I am so glad I found this place. My whole family uses this practice now. Fast, clean, friendly and affordable. They do not recommend things you do not need. Great place. Thank you.

Do not go here. I came in for the $54 cleaning and exam. I was there for around four hours and received little to no cleaning. I was told I had four cavities and the bill showed up to $800 per cavity. I went to another dentist for a second opinion before committing to such expensive work, just to learn I didn’t have any cavities! Seems like a scam.

The dentist JULIA FREIDENBERG messed up a filling on my tooth - had to come back for an adjustment - still hurt weeks later. Then the tooth cracked and a large piece next to the filling broke off. The filling was too big and caused the crack - NOW they’re saying it broke cuz I had a cavity on the tooth. These are not professionals. Do not come here. If I was richer I’d sue them. They’re now trying to charge me 1500 to give me a crown for a tooth they broke. JULIA FREIDENBERG is a horrible dentist.

Amazing and Incredible group. Starting from the front desk to the doctor. Never experienced this friendly and full of knowledge experience at a dentist's office before. Looking forward to continuing all my dental treatments with them. Definitely Recommend if you're looking for a dentist.

DO NOT GO HERE. Fair warning My tooth was permanently messed up, altering how I chew for the rest of my life. Straight up traumatic. Please go somewhere with better care. I hope you find a good dentist who will guard your teeth and your health with integrity.

Great experience with very knowledgable and trustworthy staff. Dr. Herbert was very thorough with my exam and explained where work needed to be done and followed through with a stress free same day procedure. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great dentist.

Had a great experience! I'm usually nervous when it comes to the dentist but here the staff were all very friendly and did great job working on my teeth, very gentle. I definitely recommend this place! Even got a blanket and neck pillow to use while they were working on me 👌

Dr. Shaaf was friendly, thorough, and did an excellent job recementing a loose veneer. He worked with my schedule and and honored the price quoted to me by the receptionist (which was very reasonable). Despite his young age, he is incredibly knowledgeable and confident. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist.

I'm a weirdo that actually likes going to the dentist because I am very concerned about my dental health. I grew up going to my uncle for cleanings so never had dentist-trauma. I did not have a good experience here, though. After the brief exam and hearing that it had been about 2 years since my last cleaning (sadly didn't have dental insurance as a grad student), the doctor suggested doing deep cleaning debridement (scaling and root planing), an anti-bacterial wash, and a laser treatment to clean under the gum line. The front desk people quoted me a cost for all this that was way over what my insurance said (3 different representatives).

After leaving, I spoke with a dental hygienist relative. She was shocked that they did not do perio-charting (measuring all the gum pockets) before suggesting SRP. She also asked if they said I have active gum disease or a bacterial infection, which was not the case. In short, in her expert opinion, they were suggesting expensive extras on top of a prophylactic cleaning to make more money. I got a second opinion elsewhere and was told my teeth and gums looked good, with some build-up in one area but would still just need a prophy cleaning-- saving me hundreds of dollars. Plus, it saved me the discomfort of SRP and extra visits.

They also had at least 6 people scheduled for appointments right at 8 am when they open so it was about 45 minutes before I even got x-rays and the whole visit was rushed.

The facilities are new and clean, however this practice encompasses everything that I find wrong with American healthcare, specifically that this truly is a business as opposed to a family practice or regular dental office. From the moment you walk in you're surrounded by ads for products and various treatment options you can receive. Everyone I interacted with from the receptionist to the dentist tried to pressure me into getting more expensive treatment options or buying expensive products that I can only assume the practice gets kickbacks for from the manufacturers. I also received a hefty bill after my visit (despite my insurance covering the entire cost of my visit) due to a "system glitch."
