I would be delighted to leave a good review, but unfortunately, coming to this clinic was the worst decision of my life, I had healthy teeth, with deep and strong roots, and I just wanted to replace my dental veneers, and I ended up with irreversible pulpitis caused by it severe damage to my teeth, sadly I had to do a root canal on both teeth, and even so the pain is extreme, now I have an appointment to have an Apicoectomy, as if that were not enough, Dr Kasra did not take responsibility for the damage.
On the contrary, I have been paying for everything that he caused me in my teeth, he and the irresponsible dentist who was working with him, have ruined several months of my life, I asked them for the claim, that they at least return the money I paid, and if they only returned 3,000, it wasn't even complete! In exchange for my money back, they made me sign a paper where I would not talk about what happened, but yesterday I received an email asking for my review, and honestly I need to talk, I am quite sore, I have spent thousands of dollars, trying to ease the pain that they have caused me. caused by these doctors, who were exaggeratedly irresponsible with me, the list of negligence that was committed with me is so long, that I really cannot describe it with the limit of letters that yelp gives me.
I only know that it was the worst mistake I could make, I would rather have my teeth healthy again, but sadly I trusted this clinic with 5 stars! but they did not have a minimum of empathy, if I am still struggling with this problem, now I have one more surgery!, thanks Modern smiles for ruining my smile! and make me cry so much! and also for turning your back on me!

I had my first experience with Modern Smiles on Wednesday 4/13/22. All staff is so helpful and professional. The hostess lady was so nice and sweet. I filled all papers out and then met the dr. Tajik's assistant. She did my teeth cleaning. After I hooked to Dr Tajik himself. He was so professional and polite. To be honest I didn't expect such A fancy place except Medical. Great experience

LITruhlly obsessed with Dr. H, Breezy, Vidi, and the entire staff/experience here. I've already recommended to my fiance and bffs. Everyone's so nice and professional and I couldn't be happier with my results. Plus, great music and Modern Family on the tv. Can't beat it; I'll be back. Thanks, y'all!

I want to leave this review excluding my wife from all blame who was the victim of negligence by Doctors Kasra Tajik and Shahira Saad who, due to poor service to my Milka Aguilera, have caused enormous problems that to this day Feb 23, 2022 they don't finish My wife asked to go to her clinic to change some veneers with the illusion of improving her aesthetics, her teeth were perfectly healthy, she takes great care of her teeth, Dr. Shahira was the one who started her procedure with many errors, from not advising her correctly, from to leave the temporary plastics for 4 months and not to follow up because Dr. Shahira moved to another clinic and left Milka unattended. Dr. Kasra who continued with the procedure, because of her intervention in removing the temporary veneers, caused trauma to both teeth to the point of ending up requiring endodontics on both teeth!
And what did they do when she complained of pain? They wanted to sell you the root canal procedure! They were not responsible for helping Milka solve the problem. On the contrary. Milka spent $7,600 to remove the veneers incorrectly bonded by Dr Kasra and paid for root canals on both teeth. When she went to seek help for the last time, the doctor only told her that wherever she went to another dentist, they would leave her teeth ugly like she already had them and the pain would not go away!
That is too much arrogance from this man, irresponsibility and also lack of professionalism. Until recently she asked for her money back and what did Dr Kasra do? As a condition of returning her money. He made her sign a paper where it would be an agreement not to bother them anymore and forbade her to speak more about what happened on social networks.
And so they ruined her front teeth, she had a root canal done on 2 teeth and the pain is not over yet. If she was interested in truly giving her patients satisfaction, she should have paid everything she has spent since they caused this big problem, paying for her root canals, Appointments and medications but they did not even give her her full money, they only returned 3000 dollars.she deserves at least compensation for causing her so much pain. Dr Kasra makes fun of telling her that her teeth were ugly.
My wife was a victim of her 5 stars, I remember she was very happy when she saw her 5 stars on social networks. What a pity for irresponsible doctors, if you are going to come to this clinic do not get carried away by the 5 stars, most of these clinics send an email asking for reviews to the patient, but or so it is until today my wife takes pain medication and has not been able to recover, be very careful where you have a procedure, look for doctors who truly love their job which is to help patients not only those who seek to fill themselves with money the bags And we demand that the doctor apologize for mocking the appearance of my wife's teeth by making her feel ugly as she sought them out for help.

I just had my first cleaning in about 7 years and everyone there was so nice, they made me feel very welcomed! The waiting room is nice and has a calm vibe to it, I really liked the coffee machine and water bottles that were there. After was done they gave me a 5 dollar Starbucks gift card! Overall it was a great experience!

I had a laser gum lift today, and I'm so happy with the results! Dr. Kasra and all the women working there were great at explaining what was going on and what to expect. I had my consultation and procedure the very same day, coming from Long Beach I was so thankful for that! Here is a before and immediate after-

Everyone here is just wonderful! The staff is happy and fun and all really enjoy their jobs and are very kind! Dr. Kaz is a dream and Lucy is so great to work with, especially with insurance! I'm so happy I found Modern Smiles! I'm getting a dental implant and was really nervous but Dr. Kaz walked me through it and I know I'm in good hands!

Dr. Kas, Priscilla, and Tania were wonderful with my 9 year old. She needed two small fillings and they talked her through everything so she knew what was going to happen. They did a great job of keeping her mind off of it if she started to worry. She's even brushing her teeth in the morning now and taking her time with it, thanks to Tania's pep talk about preventing cavities!

After a lot of research into local dentists, I was actually excited to come to my appointment here. The staff were very nice and welcoming and they did a very thorough job with my cleaning - and were not judgemental for the state of my teeth (it had been a while since I was able to see a dentist, so lots of build-up ). Unfortunately, it turned out that they no longer took my particular insurance (It my mistake for not fully understanding my insurance plan and providing the wrong plan type at booking).
They were kind enough to offer me a very affordable new patient deal for the work I had done. I was so satisfied with my visit, that I told my employer I was willing to pay the penalty to switch insurance after my open enrollment time so that I could go back - but, no dice. So even though I can't go back until I'm able to switch my insurance next year, I'd still recommend them to anyone in the area.

Came to get my wisdom teeth taken out and they did everything with such grace. From the moment I walked in they greeted me, got me checked in, and offered complimentary water and coffee while I was waiting since I arrived a little early. As soon as I was seated they made sure I was at my most comfortable and turned the tv on. Numbed my gums, waited a few minutes for it to settle and then we were all set. Got all 4 removed in about an hour. My dentist, the assistants, and front desk were all friendly. Definitely recommend anyone to come here.

I had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Tajik and his staff. Dr. Tajik was very nice and informative. He has an amazing staff which they always available to help. They're all well trained and so respectful. I call Dr. Tajik, because he made me feel right at home and as if I was a friend. Dr. Tajik educated me on my diagnosis, treatment and preventative care. My gratitude for Dr. Tajik and his staff goes beyond the stars! There is no other dentist I would go to or recommend! When you find the best, you keep it!

Modern Smiles is an outstanding dental practice. The staff is friendly, professional and very helpful. Dr. Kasra Tajik is very, very professional and awesome at general dentistry. His skill and artistry as a cosmetic dentist is above and beyond. Dr. Shahira Saad is outstanding also. She kind and proficient in her dental skills. I've had work by both and highly recommend them and their office Modern Smiles. Their office is super clean, relaxing and easily accessible via major freeways.

Found this place on yelp since I went to a private dentist before who charged me too much for one filling. They took my insurance. I got an appointment the next day. When I came in I didn't wait too long. The staff was friendly. The dental assistant took 18 X-rays of my teeth from all angles and even with a special camera to see the top of the teeth.
It was a very thorough inspection I did not know existed. Then the doctor came in and she explained everything that needed to be done and created a treatment plan for which I was scheduled. The only thing I have to pay out of pocket is the laser for the deep cleaning. The fillings are covered by insurance. All in all it was a pleasant surprise to find a dental practice who take preventative measures.

Thankfully, I had a way better experience at my follow up appointment with Dr. Kaz. He allowed me to take an extra pill of Halcion when he saw that I was still uneasy and anxious. I felt way more comfortable with him than with the other dentist. Luckily, I did not remember the procedure this time around. Unfortunately, because of the other dentist, I'm back to feeling severely anxious when even thinking about my next appointment. I'm sure that the more I exclusively see Dr. Kaz and the other kind and familiar members of his team, I'll be less afraid of coming back to the office.

I am one of those that cannot stand the dentist, maybe childhood issues, maybe nerves, pain. Had a broken root on a wisdom tooth, that kept on getting infected and making me miserable. After calling the office, they gave me a same day appointment, tried to save my tooth and ended up taking it out (due to the root that was fractured). For the extraction and failed root canal, I was given Halcion, one pill before the procedure, well I have to say, did not knock me out, but I was not grabbing the chair rests like I was going to be launched into hyperspace. So, not a pleasant experience, but my issue was taken care of, so I am grateful for that. Don't remember when was the last time I felt so good after a dental visit. Do I recommend them? YES I do, Dr. Saad has magic hands, and her staff is just awesome. I am thankful to have found them.

I had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Kaz Tajik and his staff. Dr. Kaz is very professional, he takes the time to explain what needs to be done and provides valuable advice, It's not easy to find a good dentist these days but I highly recommend Dr. Kaz and his staff for any procedures. He is an amazing dentist.

I am beyond grateful to have Dr. Tajik as my dentist. From the moment you walk in you know you are cared for, in capable hands & in for a painless procedure. I trusted Dr. Tajik with a cosmetic case that was very sensitive to me.a case that was rejected by other dentists in the past, but he took on and worked on me for months. His professionalism, intelligence, patience, dedication, generosity & hard work has changed the appearance of my smile, my look and my life forever! I truly am a new person. The staff are wonderful as well! I recommend Modern Smiles to everyone.

I'd like to start off by saying I have never had a better dentist than Dr. Tajik. He came highly recommended to me by a close friend, and I was not disappointed. He was pleasant, informative, and spent time to give me options on how to manage my TMJ and cavities. I've seen several dentists in North Hollywood and I believe he is the best one.

I have been coming to this dentist for as long as i can remember. I can honestly say that every single visit is very welcoming and efficient. Every single staff member is nice, attentive, and personable. They always explain what your procedure will entail, and if anything is wrong/unsatisfactory their more than happy to make any adjustments to perfect your experience.
I live in bakersfield and make the drive every single time i have an appointment just because i know i wont be dissapointed in my experience. Overall would recommend to any one and everyone!
