Dr. Kajian is Delightful! Brand New Office Re-Vamped!

I've been a patient at La Jolla Dental Group for many years and for many reasons. Although I've read many complaints about the staff and the waiting time, I've yet to come across a response regarding the actual doctors.\r

WORST AND FILTHIEST DENTAL OFFICE IN USA

SHAM of a dental office. FILTHY exam rooms. The WORST dental experience of my life. I have previously spent thousands of dollars on my dental care. Never have I experienced anything so unprofessional! Wasted over 2 hours to get x-rays...

Stay Away From This Dental Office

I give this office zero stars. The staff in not friendly at all. If you go in for a regular cleaning, be prepared to spend at least 30-45 minutes in the waiting area, and another 15 minutes on the dental chair before the doctor will see you. Be careful 'cause, more than likely, they will tell you that you need a root canal and a crown - at the least. Make sure you get a detailed break-down and how much it's going to cost before agreeing to having any dental work done or signing anything. If you have dental insurance, you will end up paying more than what the office is contractually obligated to charge the patient; and they will hold you responsible for the difference. Didi is the rudest person in that office, she has a condescending attitude, which is spreading like cancer to the rest of the employees there. Anyone experiencing unethical treatment from this office should report them to your HMO or PPO insurance, B B B,and the Dental Board of California. Someone needs to put a stop their unethical business practice. We need to speak up are report businesses who take advantage of people.

A real review

Ok, heres a real review from a real patient... There are definitely a lot of fake reviews here coming from both sides.

One thing I notice about this place is that the people who work here smile alot and seem to genuinely care for each other. Yes, the receptionists are informal. Everyone here is 'mijo' or 'mija', which means 'dear' in spanish. Evaughn (sp?) is awesome, and will go through step by step with you what she has been told you 'need'. The owner, Dr Kajian, is really smart but seems kinda hurried sometimes, and sometimes you do wonder if some of the procedures she says you 'need' are really necessary. Dr. Yavari is an excellent dentist, really sweet, and makes an effort to provide the best care despite having to help multiple patients at the same time. I trust her.

If I could offer one piece of advice to the practice, it would be to stop over-extending the dentists/hygenists. I think the owner is trying to pack too many patients into one day, but this results in consistent patient delays. Also would help her to consider what is really really necessary. Demanding her hygenists/dentists try to pitch $65 oral cancer diagnostics not covered by insurance for patients under thirty kinda diminishes her credibility.

In short, I recommend La Jolla Dental. I have recommended it to my friends in the past and will continue to. The care is good if you can stand the wait, and the people there are awesome. But just like any purchase, do your research before signing anything.

Stay away from this place

Everyone in this office is very stuck up and rude. I had to wait 30 min after my appointment to even see someone then another 15 min before a Dr came and saw me. I had to break a couple of appointments cause I couldn't get out of work and Rene the Manager called me yelling at me when I told her I changed dentists cause they are open Saturday's she flipped out on me saying she was charging me $90.00 for 2 missed appts then hung up on me. They completely overcharge on everything. Also saying that I needed a root canal and deep cleaning on both sides and were gonna charge me a couple thousand dollars for the work with insurance. Yvonne the receptionist and the guy who did my X rays were the only ones that were nice to me. You really need to get your head examined if you decide you still want to go to this place.

****DO NOT GO HERE***** (FROM AN INSIDER)

I have worked in the dental industry for 13 years. I didn't have much choice at the time and went to these guys. I had to go in 3 times for the doc to fix the SAME CAVITIES because he did a terrible job. He even knew I worked in this industry and STILL tried to challenge me about how he did a good job.

Not to mention I sat there for an HOUR (!!!!!!!) 3 different times to be there for my SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT!!!! They are completely disorganized and a sweat shop.

Not to mention the fact that the main doc does a gum check where she measures your pocket depths. I had JUST got this done at my friends dental office, they certainly wouldn't lie to me. I didn't have one single 5 mm pocket. With her, I had a number of 5's and a couple 6's. They're thieves. *************************DO NOT GO HERE AND WARN EVERYONE ELSE********************

I Will Never Go There Again--Even if you paid me!

I too give this place 0 stars. I wish I had read all these reviews before going there. Took my whole family there on the same day and it was horrible. Stuck us in a little room the size of a small closet to do x-rays and everyone that came in to office could see us. I also think they are scammers. Wouldn't give me a digital copy of my x-rays because they didnt know how to do it...wanted to charge me $50 per person even though it would take them a minute to email, burn to cdrom, or usb drive. A lot of other issues that I dont even want to get into, but Renee and the staff there have no customer service skills and are arrogant and think they know it all. Renee, office manager has issues and is so incredibly rude...she hung up on me too. I have already reported them to CDA, and my Dental Insurance company. Plan to report them to BBB and anywhere else possible.

horrible!!

avoid this office all together. I wish I had read all the reviews before going there. we were referred to Dr. Pichak Kelk by our insurance since we don't get to pick the specialist. we were told to be there half an hour earlier to fill out some paper work and so we did. first thing they asked for a copy of our x-ray and she asked me to go pick it up from my general dentist office. I went and got it since it was only a block away. then we sat there for 2 HOURS and we left without having our consultation with the doctor because she was in the middle of a surgery and she was not able to come talk to us. The funny thing is that after waiting for 45 minutes I asked the front desk and they didn't even bother explaining why there is a delay and I had to ask three people who were randomly walking by the front desk to get an answer and they didn't even apologize for the fact that its their fault not us! after 2 hours we decided to leave because they weren't even telling us how much more we had to wait and they told us she only see's new patients in between her surgeries ..I'm not sure what kind of surgery she was doing but I sure saw her coming to the front desk and chat with her staff at least twice...well then don't give an appointment to a new patient at all....I don't think she will be getting any new patients anyway!!!!! its a shame that there are dentists out there like her with an office and many staff who don't even care about patients and don't have a right manner to deal with patients.

Dr. Kajian is Gentle, Quality Dentist!

I've been a patient at La Jolla Dental Group for many years and for many reasons. Although I've read many complaints about the staff and the waiting time, I've yet to come across a response regarding the actual doctors.

The reason you go to a specific doctor/dentist/healthcare provider is because of how good the doctor is and the quality of treatment you receive. Dr. Kajian is by far the best dentist I've seen in my life. Not only has her personability, gentle care, precision, and kindness keep me coming back.. but her quality of care. In this profession, I've seen many times that dentists are sloppy and fast. I switched dental offices FOUR TIMES until I found Dr. Kajian and I must say, regardless of the time I've spent waiting (you're going to find that at any healthcare office, so you might as well wait for a good doctor) I've been more than pleased with her services for over 5 years and will continue to reccommend la Jolla Dental Group.

Great Experience!

Previously, I was with La Costa Dental Group and I was thrilled to have switched jobs and pick up a new insurance provider. My new insurance provider said I was covered by La Jolla Dental Group. I had done my research and was a bit nervous before going into the practice because of the previous negative reviews. I had an appointmentat 9:30am and was seated then for X-Rays. After the x-rays, Dr. Kajian came in and completed an oral exam. She said I needed a filling and that I don't have to come in another day to get it done, that she could do it that day (you don't usually find that in other dental groups). Dr. Kajian was comforting and informative throughout the whole process. I highly recommend La Jolla Dental Group, particularly Dr. Kajian.
