Chatsworth Dental Group

NOTICE TO ALL PATIENTS! VERIFY ALL YOUR PAYMENTS TO THIS OFFICE WITH YOUR INSURANCE!
Check your Billing Invoices, check your EOB’s and BEFORE any services are rendered, be sure to have them send an estimate of your patient responsibility.
I paid upfront my patient and my family’s responsibility. The staff claims they send an estimate to your insurance but they don’t and I verified this with my insurance company because they keep records of any estimates sent.
For my case in particular, I paid $ 500 upfront and a month or so later, I received an invoice for the SAME service I paid for that I still owe them $ 157.40. So in total, they wanted me to pay close to $ 660 for a service. I immediately called my insurance and spoke to 3 different representatives who all told me that I over paid and my responsibility is capped at $ 446.40. This Office, in fact, owes me money. (Have all documents to prove this)
I called the office to try and get this all settled but instead, I had to send a letter to my insurance for Billing Non-​Compliance. I am waiting on that refund. It was within that phonecall that they then told me I had a credit for my son that they can apply to this made up bill!
In addition, my son had services rendered in which I was told I had a balance, same thing, I paid upfront to receive a bill after the fact! So I called his insurance and they didnt show anywhere that I owed any more. The office sent me a refund check for my son, of which I still need to verify this amount and cross reference it with his insurance because I have zero faith in their billing practices.
As far as the Doctor himself, he’s a good dentist. The staff, appearingly friendly but the shady business practices and fact that there is no «Real Medical Biller» or manager when issues like this come up, makes me stay clear of this business from here on out.
To Over pay upfront and then try to collect more money after is absolutely absurd. I’m close to reporting this office to more than just sharing my experiences on Unilocal because the worst thing any business can ever do is take advantage of patients, by having them pay in the front door and then sending invoices out to collect more money from the back.
I never thought I’d write a review about shady billing practices but I feel I have to write this to protect other patients who unknowingly pay unverified amounts.

Love love love this dentist. So professional and friendly. I now take my whole family here and everybody loves it. I have a 4 year old son and they made him feel so comfortable and they were so gentle with his cleaning. I would highly recommend this dentist

I seriously never thought I’d ever enjoy going to the dentist but Chatsworth Dental changed everything ! I’m not even exaggerating when I say that their service is AMAZING. I’ve never been to a dentist where I felt so comfortable and calm ! The staff is just incredible, which makes the experience so much better. They’re so welcoming and genuinely friendly yet professional.
My dentist is Dr. Mishra and he is the best dentist ! He handles my teeth with gentle care and he definitely knows his stuff.
I got the Six Month Smiles braces because I was so insecure about my crooked teeth. I was kind of skeptical about it because I haven’t seen anyone with them before, but I am SO glad I made the choice to get them. After 6 and a half months, I got the braces off and. OMG I LOVE MY TEETH AND I OWE IT ALL TO DR. MISHRA, ELIZABETH AND ALL OF THE STAFF (: if any of the staff are reading this. Thank you guys !!
Seriously if you’re someone who wants to fix they’re crooked teeth I would HIGHLY recommend the Six Month Smiles braces. It’s clear braces they’re noticeable but not as noticeable as the regular braces. It’s really worth it

I used to be terrified of going to the dentist until now! My little sister recommended Dr. Mishra and now I know why. I had two extractions done today. Before I knew it, the procedure was done in less than 15 minutes– two teeth perfectly pulled out with no chips or breakage. Dr. Mishra is extremely gentle and caring, which really eased me during the process. Best dentist ever! All of the ladies in the office are extremely sweet and friendly. I never imagined a dental office to have this type of atmosphere. I am extremely confident that Chatsworth Dental Group will give me the perfect smile I’ve always wanted!

If you are looking for a great dentist, you can go ahead and stop looking.
1. Clean, comfortable facility
2. Friendly staff that happily walks you through every step of the process
3. Thorough and tech savvy exams.
4. Dr. Mishra removed two of my wisdom teeth (something I’d been putting off because I was scared) I was literally out shopping two hours later. No swelling and almost no pain at all. It was inexpensive, I was in and out in under two hours, and Dr. Mishra called me the next day to check in on me and answer any questions that I had.
I am so happy that I went here, and they definitely have a patient for life from me. Never thought I would ever rave about a dentist :)

Having had bad experiences with several dentists in the past, Dr. Vikram Mishra and his entire staff at Chatsworth Dental Group are simply wonderful. I found Dr. Mishra to be extremely competent and genuinely cared about providing me the most comfortable dental experience I’ve ever had. You will most definitely be in good hands here!

Dr Mishra, Dr Frank, and the beautiful and friendly girls on staff get 5 stars from me :)
Dr gave me a great fix on my chipped tooth.
Dr Frank provides great tips as a hygienist
You can tell everyone here enjoys working here. I look forward to dentist visits, or at least don’t mind them, which is a first for me!

Hi tech dentist that knows his stuff. He and his staff are super professional, very clean facilities, and the most compassionate dentist I’ve ever been to. Highly recommend.

Dr. Mishra went out of his way in an emergency call Sunday and made me feel better and gave me a personal consultation on my tooth implant. Came back Monday for x ray, a couple other procedures and made an apt for the actual implant today. I had some discrepancies with payment but finally situated it with installments and made an apt for an implant which I will get now then comeback for the final crown in 6 months after my implant heals into my gums. Great staff, very accommodating and professional. They helped a lot. I highly recommend them.

Wonderful fantastic experience. I had a tooth from under a crown that needed to be extracted, it was infected. Dr. Mishra and his staff were really great, so nice and professional. He really has perfected the art of Dentistry without pain. I mean I barely felt a zap. The building is nice and they have modern equipment. The pricing is extremely fair. I am so grateful to Chatsworth Dental Group and Dr. Mishra. I will be coming back for regular cleanings and other work that needs to be done. Thank you so much !

Believe the 5-​star reviews you see here. This dental office rocks!
My husband had a dental emergency and we lacked the dental insurance to help pay for the work that needed to get done and needed to pay out of pocket. Upon calling several other dental offices and receiving either snooty attitudes or dealing with uncaring people with bad attitudes, I called Chatsworth Dental Group. I had the pleasure of speaking with Theresa who was not only extremely professional and polite, she was also very knowledgeable and assisted us with an approximate range of what the procedure would cost. She also promptly got an appointment for us right away, within the hour, which no other office was able to do.
Fast forward. We made it to the appointment and while my newborn daughter and I waited for my husband I was worried about the final cost of the work to be done. Would there be any additional fees tacked on at the end that weren’t mentioned during our phone call? (This has happened to me in the past) Would the estimated range be off and the final bill cost way too much and we would be cornered and have to pay it to get my husband out of pain? Answer: No way! Theresa managed to get us a discount and our final bill was lowest figure she approximated it could be. Finally, an honest, straight forward dental office that cares more about the patient than about price gouging.
Dr. Mishra performed the work done on my husband and he also gets rave reviews. Professional with a warm character and good bedside manner.
You can’t ask for a better dental experience. Don’t hesitate and give them a call for your dental needs!

I saw Dr Mishra today and he has created such a great environment in the office and is such a caring man. If you need a dentist, he is your man!

Dr. Mishra is great! I highly recommend him, he is so gentle and really really cares about what he is doing and cares about his clients. He has a great team, and the staff is always so pleasant every time I go into the office. I’ve always had a great experience there. Thank you Dr. Mishra!

My dentist that I’ve been seeing for over 20 years has just been diagnosed with a medical condition which prevents her from practicing now, which is how I began my search for a new dentist. I went to at least 4 different dental offices who failed to meet my needs. After becoming frusterated, my co-​worker referred me to Chatsworth Dental. Even though my co-​worker assured me that this would be the best dental experience ever, I immediately went on Unilocal to read the reviews. Pretty much every review gave the place 5 stars, which for me is somewhat of a red flag. I assumed that all the people writing the reviews must be friends or family members of the doctors, but I decided to make an appointment and go anyway. I walked in and was treated as if the receptionists had known me for years which eased my mind because i walked in extremely anxious and in pain from a much needed root canal. Dr, Mishra was honest and extremely gentle and affordable. This was definitely my best dental experience!

I have been terrified of Dentists my whole life, so I am so thankful to have found Chatsworth Dental Group to ease my fears. I have been going to Dr. Mishra for dental work for the past few years and he makes even extractions and root canals painless and non terrifying with his kind gentle bedside manner. I can’t say enough about how nice the whole staff is and how they make going to the dentist not a scary process!

Going to the dentist sucks, it just does. But the staff at Chatsworth Dental make it a little better !
I have been going here since I was a kid and I cant bring my self to go anywhere else, even after moving out of Chatsworth. They always take excellent care of me and provide excellent service.
You can trust that you are getting the best dental care!

I knew I needed to get some work done on my teeth and wanted to get a second opinion on getting a crown. I went to Chatsworth Dental Group and I was blown away by Dr. Mishri and Lizzy. They performed a miracle on my teeth. Not only were they both incredibly professional and the quality of work was EXCELLENT, but they saved my tooth! Love this place. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a new dentist and hygienist that are both warm and professional!

I started searching for a new dentist when my old one said I had 3 more cavities forming. I was sick and tired of having a new cavity every time I had a checkup. Frustrated, I asked my dentist what more I could do to stop the cavities — I was already brushing, flossing, getting cleaning twice a year, etc. The dentist said «it’s hereditary, some people just have bad teeth.» That is NOT what I wanted to hear. So I looked for a new dentist. I found Dr. Mishra and told him my story. He immediately started talking about preventative measures I could take to stop cavities from forming. I’ve been going to Dr. Mishra for over a year now and haven’t had a single cavity!
Also, I’ve never waited more than 5 minutes past my appointment time to be taken back for my appointment. The office is clean, the staff is very friendly and the dental hygienist — Frank — is the most gentle hygienist I’ve ever seen. I have issues with lots of calcium build up so cleanings are usually very painful. Frank goes slow and makes sure not to hit my gums while he’s scraping. He’s a miracle worker.
I highly recommend Chatsworth Dental Group to anyone looking for a reliable dentist who is into preventative measures and not treating patients like cash cows.

You might liken finding a good dentist to finding a needle in a haystack. If so, prepare to be pricked. I was in the market for a dentist and my brother passed along a referral from a friend. At the time my brother already a dentist. As of now both he and his wife have switched over to Chatsworth Dental.
The entire staff is warm and friendly. Sending out handwritten cards and appointment reminders. They seem genuinely concerned about their patients.
Frank, the dental hygienist, has finally allowed me to get past the horrible memories I had as a child going to the dentist.
When I had x-​rays done, the doctor at first thought I had a cavity that needed filling. However, he took extra time to make sure and eventually determined that it wasn’t a cavity at all. Too many places seem to err on the side of giving themselves more work. Not Chatsworth Dental.
Also had my wisdom teeth removed. Surprisingly quick and painless. Again, they decided that the last wisdom tooth didn’t need pulling, which saved me some money.
Of course, as these things go, I’ve recently moved out of the area and will have to go through the dicy process of finding a new dentist. Oh well. If you’re in or around San Fernando Valley and seeking some dental work, pay these guys a visit. You’ll be glad you did.

Out of town on business and a gold crown came loose. I called their office and they told me to come in right away. They squeezed me in among their other patients. The receptionist was very nice. The dentist and his assistant were very hospitable, talkative and took their time even though other patients were waiting. Their prices were very reasonable and they acceptable my insurance and even called to get the information/​accurate pricing.
When leaving they offered me a calendar (sorry my calendar is online) and gave me a few cards for free checkup referrals to spread their nice practice. It is located in an old house on a main street. Parking was easy on the side street. They told me to feel free and come back any time.
