Kashfian Kambiz DDS

Dr. Kashifian has been my dentist since 2002 and I couldn’t be happier. My teeth and gums are in better condition then when I first came to his office– thanks to his care! In fact, I just had a small surface area decay begin– first one in over 9 years!!!
He’s always been honest with me, explains prices, he has a good sense of humor… I feel safe with him and think he has a good approach to gum and teeth health.
I am in love with Peggy as well– she is a good person and VERY Meticulous at cleaning teeth! She’s very mindful and checks in quite a bit to make certain I am okay.
Due to my genetics– my gums so need some extra help. I have a deep clean every 2 years and I am glad Dr. Kashfian has suggested it… Yes, at first I wasn’t sure it was necessary (till I spoke to my mom– she felt it was best) so I tried it and I actually felt the difference and could see the difference. My body can even tell when it’s about time to do again.
Gums are good, teeth are good– I am more then satisfied!
I am also very grateful that Svetlana, the receptionist, calls before my appointments. I have never had to wait for my appointment and I love that they get my teeth cleaned and get me out of there in a good turn around! Great service all around!

Dr. Kashfian has been keeping my teeth in top shape for about 10 years now. He asks and listens carefully to any issues I may be having, he’s always very clear about what needs to be done and what it will cost me, and he does great work. He’s professional yet very kind and ensures I’ll be as comfortable as possible.
Peggy his hygenist is awesome; she’s very gentle and the sweetest lady in the world, but almost maniacal about getting every little spec out from under/​between my teeth to get them as clean as possible. Svetlana the receptionist is really nice too, and never neglects to call me to remind me when I’ve got an appointment coming. Highly recommended.

Dr. Kashfian is an excellent Dentist! He is very professional and through. Peggy is the best hygienist I have ever had. I would recommend them to anyone!

I’ve been coming to Dr. Kashfian for a while now. im not a big fan of going to the dentist, but I’m more than comfortable here. I’m pleased with everything I’ve had done, and not a single shot hurt! The staff is friendly and the offices are clean with lots of parking in basement of building. I’ve recomended this dentist to family and friends.

Dr. Kashfian is a reputable dentist. By reading the hateful reviews I’m honestly shocked. Many mistake his method as being uncaring, not interested, inattentive, and the like… however it is quite the contrary. The man knows what he’s doing. He doesn’t need to spend hours in an exam room when he knows exactly what the problem and solution or diagnosis is. Furthermore, some hateful reviews talk about price and how it is apparently a «rip off, «but yet again, have you heard of the expression you get what you paid for??? Quality here is key and with that said the prices are absolutely reasonable and affordable. Dr. Kashfian and Peggy are and will remain my number 1 go to’s …they are thee best!

I am a dental chicken but Dr Kashfian is so gentle and really puts me at ease. His staff is exceptional too. He not only did my root canals, crowns and bridges but Veneers too. Beautiful job. Everyone compliments me on my smile and teeth thanks to Dr Kashfian. I highly recommend him to everyone!!!

I’ve been going to this dentist for about seven years. Partially because I’m secretly in love with the hygienist, Peggy. She has such gentle hands that I don’t even mind when she’s scrapping deep into my tooth canals. I’ve never been so anxious to build tartar!
Seriously, I don’t understand all the negative reviews here. I’ve never had a problem with the doctor or the price. They explain to me cost and options prior to any services and are warm and welcoming whenever I come back. Even the receptionist (sometimes).

My family and I have been going regularly to Dr. Kashfian as well as many friends and business associates that I have referred. We’ve been his patient since the early 1990’s and can’t imagine going elsewhere. Peggy, his assistant, is not only expert at her job but a delightful, caring person, as well. On the occasions that Dr. Kashfian has referred me or my family to specialists, he has always recommended the best, most professional colleagues for treatment. Svetlana, Dr. Kashfian’s receptionist is also caring and compassionate and helpful. I probably know over 30 people who are patients of Dr. Kasfian’s and all speak of him with the highest regard.

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Kashfian for about 20 years. We are extremely pleased with his care. His staff is always pleasant and welcoming. I have had several procedures over the years and they have been surprisingly painless. He talks you through the procedure, so you know what to expect. He is gentle, thorough, and effective in treating his patients. Peggy, the dental hygienist is a treasure. She is genuinely kind and caring. It is evident that she cares about her patients. Dr. Kashfian and his staff have provided my family with excellent care.

Stay away from this disrespectful, unprofessional, inconsiderate person who has the audacity to call himself a healthcare professional. I assure you that he does not care about the wellbeing of a single one of his patients, which is not only unethical, but simply a shame. He made me wait an absurd amount of time before he finally walked into my appointment. He then coldly proceeded to examine my teeth by asking me to open my mouth, and he ran his fingers along the top and bottom row of my teeth. That’s it. No tools, no mirrors, nothing. He never even sat down! He did this while remaining standing, and just left the room in about 5 minutes. Before he left left the room, he simply said «oh by the way, you grind your teeth» without offering me a single explanation, options for solutions, or the opportunity to ask any questions. When he began to walk towards the door, I got a little confused, thinking that the appointment couldn’t possibly be over yet. When I luckily realized that it was indeed over, I quickly asked if he will be cleaning my teeth, and his response was «oh did you want your teeth cleaned too?» Mind you, my appointment was for a routine check-​up and cleaning. He left the room and sent someone to clean my teeth. Afterwards, on my way out, I asked the receptionist if I can speak with the doctor. She asked me why do I want to speak with him, and I told her that he told me about my teeth grinding and I have some questions. When the doctor finally made his way back to me, he seemed annoyed that I was taking up his precious time (his body language was just awful — talking down to me impatiently with his arms on his hips). He didn’t even have the decency to take me to his office or the exam room — he just kept me there in the hall (which is probably a HIPAA violation now that I think about it). I told him that I would like more information about the state of my teeth and would like to know what I should do about the grinding. He kept responding with one-​word phrases, and getting any sort of proper reply or information out of him was like pulling teeth! Finally, he told me that I can get a mouth guard, but that insurance does not cover it, that it’s very expensive, and that I probably wouldn’t be able to afford it. Excuse me? I told him that that is for me to decide, not him, and I turned around and walked out of his office. This man is unbelievable. No care, no service, no respect, and is making a mockery of dentistry and dentists everywhere.

I like this dentist a lot and been seeing him since 2007. He was the third dentist I went to because the others were pricey. The last one wanted to charge me over $ 1200 for a deep clean.
Dr. Kambiz told me that is not necessary and that I needed a regular cleaning. And been going to him ever since.
Some people on here state that the deep clean (scaling) is pricey at $ 400 — $ 500. If you call around, this is the market rate including insurance paying some of it. Yes, I do see that the rate online is $ 125, but that may be per quadrant. Your mouth has 4 quadrants; so it adds up.
As for forcing procedures, I never got this from him. I have receding gums. Thus, I have my teeth scaled every 2 years. Now we are seeing if there are other ways to prevent the problem from continuing.
He never forces a procedure, just gives me the option and lets me decide. He spends about 10 minutes or so on me. In reality that is all he needs. This is enough time to assess my problem and check my gums and then instruct the dental hygienist on what needs to be done.
And the dental hygienist is a gem. She cares about her work and cares about you. It is like having mom cleaning your teeth.
With all of the negative reviews on here, I had to give me 2 cents on a quality Dr.

What people are saying about this horrible person is true. I was supposed to go to him through my hmo on my dental plan. he took 30 seconds to look at my teeth and said I needed a deep cleaning that would cost 800 dollars with insurance. I said I did not have that but can you please give me a regular cleaning. He refused that and said this was just a consult and not a regular cleaning and maybe I should find a dentist i can afford. So I left. Yup this is a scam.
Fortunately the insurance company are finding me another dentist

THE RECEPTIONIST IS THE RUDEST LADY ON EARTH.
She spoke to me like I was stupid. She kept telling me I’m not on their list? No shit. I’m a new patient.
I had to stop her and tell her to don’t be rude and I’m going to find another dentist.

The assistant on the phone was very rude. not going to come here.

One star just for the sweet lady who works as The hygienist at office
other than that terrible experience. Am not going back to this Dentist
The receptionist is rude Straight up they told me I need a detailed clean and would cost me $ 400 as a copay. When I said no to the treatment my cleaning was done in 15 mins.
later checked online and the actual charges if you pay at other dentists are 175.00 for the same.
Also charged me Copay when I am supposed to have a free annual cleaning. when we went back to get my records she said we don’t have proof of you paying told her we paid cash and she said No you didn’t.
Save your time and go elsewhere. I am sure they have better Dentists in chatsworth area.

Please save your money and go anywhere else. This dentist is a scam.
This dentist was covered by my work insurance company. However, little did I know I should’ve still done my research and read the reviews.
The receptionist return my call, with an arrogant and unpolite tone telling me nothing about the doctor or services. It was close to my house, so I went there, going for a teeth clean. After a short exam, the dr. showed me the condition and offered a super expensive treatment that I «supposedly needed». I asked him an alternate, he said the is the only treatment, we can’t do a teeth clean which was Over a few hundred bucks! I went ahead. (Big mistake)
I realized later I’d been duped. I paid double what a treatment like this would cost, and this was just my co-​pay. For a 90 min treatment. That in total cost $ 1600.
I made a mistake trusting this greedy vulture of a dentist. Please don’t do the same.

I ALWAYS GET COMPLIMENTS ON MY TEETH.
I’ve been going to Dr. Kashfian for 20 years, after finding him on 1−800-Dentist (I hadn’t been to a dentist in five years and had just outgrown my parent’s insurance.) I was convinced I might need some major work. Turns out I just needed an old filling replaced. Honestly I can’t remember if I had it done on that visit or another one. Eventually all my old mercury fillings were replaced with white fillings.
IS IT SAFE?
Turns out the days of white lab coats and creepy antiseptic smells were long gone. He’s a pain-​free, gentle dentist with reproductions of Miro and Kandinsky on the walls and soothing music piped in. And he was dressed hip business casual. Don’t get it twisted, he graduated from USC Dentistry.

THEY CALL ME YUK MOUTH
It’s human nature to deny how rotten our teeth actually are and the actual costs of high-​quality dental care (as is evidenced in these negative reviews). I was in denial about my receding gums, but I finally had gum-​grafts done at an oral surgeon Dr. Kashfian recommended. As Dr. K predicted, the surgery saved my molars. Similarly, I didn’t think I ground my teeth despite being told so on several trips. Eventually, I noticed one was down to a nub and finally got the night guard he recommended.
He will never force you to get work done if you can’t afford it. He will buy you some time with an alternative if you are not ready to take the plunge.
So take these my-teeth-weren’t-that-bad-he’s-just-a-quack reviews with a grain of salt. I don’t write many reviews on this site, just try to point out good places when I see them. Trust.

This quack deserves 0.0001 star, however the star selector won’t go as low as this deceiver will go to make a buck. This dentist??, and I use the term loosely, is a malfunctioning member of the dental profession. Taking advantage of someone in pain & under anesthesia to EXTORT money from them for common procedures. Quoted me a price of $ 1000 for 5 extractions, with very expensive collagen to promote healing. Insurance copayment was $ 15 and the collagen (to aid healing and stop bleeding) was on sale for $ 132/​box of 15 0.1 gram vials …0.1 gm more than enough for an extracted space ($ 8.80 per vial). My recommendation, KEEP LOOKING FOR A REPUTABLE dentist, this one is an unscrupulous thief, POSING AS A DENTIST. BEWARE!

I am giving 2 stars since the dental hygienist was great. otherwise it would only be one.
My husband and I went to Dr Kashfian after our dentist retired and Dr K took over his patient list. Both my husband and I were told by him that we need several new crowns or replacements of old ones. I remember they were quite pricey too.
He said 2 of my crowns are not sealed anymore and food gets in, and that I have a cavity on another tooth that is so bad that not enough of the tooth will be left to built a filling onto.
Since this diagnosis — we saw 2 different dentist (one in Europe, one in LA,) to both we went saying that we need new crowns — and both told us that this is not the case… We could have saved us the money on the European dentist hearing this, but we didnt want to take chances after being told by Dr K there are problems that can get worse.
It is very frustrating to not be able to trust a dentist, to see it is about money.
Needless to say I do not recommend him.
