Hamlin Dental Group

Hamlin Dental Group is the best! I am extremely satisfied with all of their services. All staff members are very friendly and helpful. Office is very clean and organized. I highly recommend this place, especially if you haven’t been to the dentist in a while. They will make you feel comfortable and will help you in any way possible, like they did with me. I’m so happy with them that I even started my orthodontic treatment with them!!! I always look forward to coming in!

Came here to get my wisdom teeth removed, it litterly took 10 – 15 minutes to take all three out, it was fast and staff is nice. OH and i got a call a few hours later to see how I was doing which I really appreciate.

I should not be waiting an hour to get checked in and only have my x-​rays done in the first hour and not even have my cleaning started yet or seen the doctor for routine 6 month checkup. Time is money and you’ve just cost me an hour of pay at work. Please let me know who I can send my invoice to. I should be in and out in an hour.

My appointment was at 11am and it wasn’t until 12:15 that someone came in to take my X-​Rays. The parking is behind the building which no one told me when scheduling my appointment. It looks like a run down apartment building. They only have maybe 3 or 4 parking spots so it’s probably easier to find street parking. I let someone know that I had another appointment at 1:00 somewhere else and they told me to give them a few more minutes. I figured over an hour was enough time but I guess not. The place just seemed dirty. The reason I went here was because of the reviews and sadly they are so wrong. If you have a choice don’t go here!

I love hamlin dental I’ve been coming here for 8 years and counting. The staff is so nice and helpful. I’ve referred many family members and friends and everyone so far seems to be happy. The Dentists are like family Dr Yessian is so sweet and gentle. DR. REZA is so kind and honest with his treatment plans. I recently brought in my husband for an emergency extraction with their oral surgeon Dr. WOO, He was so gentle and informative about the recovery process. I’m very pleased with Hamlin Dental. This is Definitely a family practice.

Obviously going to the dentist is never ever fun, but the staff here makes it much more tolerable. On my first visit, I didn’t have insurance and the receptionist spent a lot of time talking me through their different payment plan options which made me less nervous about how much it would cost to have a crown replaced. Also, immediately that made me feel valued as not only a customer but a person.
During that visit, I was told about several cavities and my main issue with dentists has always been their «credibility» (aka tell someone they have cavities and then collect the $), but the doctor went through the x-​rays with me tooth by tooth and explained to me what a cavity looks like and what I can do to prevent them in the future. I was also given a full financial rundown of what each filling would cost, but I decided to wait until I got insurance to get them done. All that extra added care made me feel comfortable with the staff and the service, like I wasn’t just another patient to make money from.
I’ve been back to get a wisdom tooth pulled, which terrified me, but some jokes from the doctor made me feel way more at ease AND I feel like it was very reasonably priced. I will definitely be a customer of this practice for as long as I possibly can!

I have no idea why there are good reviews on here. My bf and I booked our first appointments together, 5 weeks before. They said that was the earliest. When we arrived, the place looked run down and we were skeptical but still decided to give it a shot. 3 People were already waiting when we arrived. Even though I specifically wrote in my medical form that I may be pregnant, they still did x-​rays on me without asking me. But that is not just it. The woman doing the x-​rays had no idea how to do anything and she ended up taking 5 wrong x-​rays cause she couldn’t place the panel right or handle the equipment, and is she insisted on me doing more x-​rays. She could barely speak English and was definitely not trained for that job. Even when I told her I may be pregnant and i decline to do more x-​rays because of that, she was still trying to tell me that it was safe for me because I had a plastic cover on me… really? That was 1 hour after my appointment time and I WAS NOT EVEN SEEN by the doctor. Then my bf came (who was also waiting for his appointment) and told me that people who looked like drug addicts were in the bathrooms and that the bathrooms were extremely filthy. That is when we decided to cancel and leave right then and there. Bare in mind that there is only 1 doctor at this office, and there were 6 patients booked at the same time waiting. The office was also run down and not clean. Completely Unacceptable and unprofessional and i do not know how they stay in business. I wouldn’t go back even if you paid me a million dollars.

I had an appointment here today, recommended by my dad (who has been nagging me to go). This was my first time here and everyone was friendly. The wait wasn’t long. Basic check up with x rays and deep cleaning. The personal tv on each chair was a nice distraction from what was going on in my mouth. Scheduled wisdom teeth extraction for next week. I’m happy I chose to come here!

I came by today to get my teeth cleaned. The office has a descent amount of parking. Staff are friendly. The waiting room is very comfortable filled with tons of magazines to kill time. Dr Anoush Yessaian took care of me. I never really liked going to dentists but dr Anoush was very kind gentle and informed me what was going on throughout the process she also pointed out I had a small cavity and took care of it with ease.

So… I think most of us would rather get our pubes plucked than having to visit the dentist… right? Hearing the buzzing & drilling, it’s like hearing someone scratching a chalkboard with nails to me.
However, the staff is awesome, the assistants… very sweet. The doctor (Dr. Reza)… not only does he do great work, excellent work– he is so nice & calming, understanding. I needed a deep cleaning & those are never fun, gums bleed, there is swelling… but it was needed, unfortunately. I was out of Cali, so I hadn’t been to the dentist almost 2 ½ yrs. I waited until I could see him again. I trust him. My smile is ALWAYS better, brighter, bigger when I am in his care.
Needless to say, I highly recommend him. Dr. Hamid Reza.

I recently came to Hamlin Dental after MANY years of not visiting a dentist. (My fault, I had a very bad experience in the past with a different one) I have had a tooth that was giving me problems. I called them and got in within a few days.
I have been there a total of 4 times. The first two I had Dr. Reza work on a very deep cleaning. He is very kind, and put me at ease the moment he shook my hand. He was always asking me it I was ok, if I had any pain, or if I needed to take a break. He was very thourogh, and did a great job. I was so happy that I had found someone I felt comfortable with.
The 3^rd time I was in was to see a specialist regarding the tooth that was giving me problems. This was Dr. Wang, who was also very nice and got right to the issue I was having.
The 4^th time was a bit of an emergency. I came home from work one night and had to do a double take in my mirror. My lower bottom teeth had turned brown, overnight. Now, I admit, my teeth hadn’t been pearly white to begin with, but they were never like this. I do smoke and drink coffee, but brush at least twice a day. The next day at work, I called them and explained what happened, and Celia got me in that day, after I got off of work. I went in and met with Dr. Anoosh, who explained it was caused by the prescription mouth wash, nothing to be worried about, and polished them for me. She was so sweet! She understood my anxiety that it was something worse, and laughed with me when I was relieved that’s all it was. And she told me to keep drinking my coffee ;)
Celia, the office manager, is awesome. She has a great rapport with the patients. She is very good at noticing anticipation and anxiety in people, and will have you smiling very quickly. She is very helpful with answering follow up questions about the procedure, how long your teeth should be sensitive, etc.
All in all, I had a great experience with everyone in this office, I will continue to be a patient here, and recommend it to all my friends and coworkers!

this place does not deserve anything less than 5 starts! the kindest friendliest dentist and service i have ever had from a dentist.

My dentist was super helpful and took the time to explain things to me! Their equipment is state of the art. The entire staff was very friendly. Great experience.

Friendly staff. Great service. Very Professional and caring. always willing to help. :)

It’s been about a year since I concluded my business with this place and I still feel compelled to write a review about them. I had a horrible long, drawn-​out experience with them. I wasn’t extremely fond of the general dentist. He just doesn’t seem to care about his patients much. He spent the majority of my first visit trying to get me to sign up for a consultation with a periodontist (albeit one of his buddies) and telling me that i had the gums of a 45-​year-​old (I was 22 at the time) and come on, seriously. I take care of myself so i knew what he was telling me was bullshit. I too, had a very rough cleaning from him and I almost felt like he was making fun of me for saying it was painful.
let’s skip ahead. I started with general checkups and what-​not but then saw the Endondontis. I was scheduled for a root canal and the Endodontis suggested that we not do that because the tooth was too far-​gone or something. So he gave me the options of either a bridge or a dental implant. He recommended the dental implant for aesthetics. I took his advice and began the long process of getting the implant put in. When I started treatment I asked for a breakdown of all the costs. everything. in writing. and I agreed and signed. As I said the process takes a long time (months and months) so by the time I went in again to continue with treatment the lady who handled billing no longer worked there. I went in and suddenly they’re now telling me that I have to pay an extra $ 1200 or something. for this other process that needs to be done that was also never explained to me No. I was only supposed to pay for the crown now and that was it. This is not what I was told and I have the paperwork right here… the receptionist decided to let the manager, Nazi handle the matter. Now let me say, I was not being rude at this point. I am actually an extremely polite, non-​confrontational person. I was just being stern explaining that this is not what I agreed to and i then presented to the signed agreement to her and she still tried to argue about it and tell me that I had to pay it. She spouted off something about the price changing because the treatment was taking so long and it was into the next year so the prices had gone up. I’m sorry but no. you cannot go changing the price of a treatment after it has been agreed upon and both parties have signed a contract. She kept arguing and was not going to budge until I refused to back down. I had to go over it again and again with this lady explaining why the way she was handling the matter was not right. She wanted her money. She didn’t give a shit about customer service or signed contracts. It wasn’t until I threatened to report her business to the Better Business Bureau that she finally agreed to lower the price (what she called giving me a discount) Hah!
Oh and I also forgot one more thing. After the implant was placed I went and got a second opinion to see about continuing the rest of the treatment elsewhere. The oral surgeon at this other place told me that it looked as though the implant had been incorrectly placed because my gum was quite purple in that area and apparently that’s not normal. It had been months after the implant was put in and its not supposed to stay purple. I had inquired about this at Hamlin Dental with the Oral Surgeon and he explained to me that if it was a problem for me that he could graft some skin from the roof of my mouth to put in the gum to cover up the purple – but «it’s usually not a problem for most people» he said. After thinking about it a great deal I decided not to go through with that procedure as I was now aware that he incorrectly placed my implant. so did I really want to risk something else as serious as taking skin from the roof of my mouth and the possibility of it later affecting my speech? No, thank you. So I deal with the dark purple that is surrounding my gum. I wish I had never gone there. It was one problem after another. I will not ever be going back. The only redeeming thing about this place is the dental assistant named Virginia. She is so sweet and understanding. She made the nightmare I endured a little better with her charming personality and compassion.

I went in for an oral consultation and dental cleaning… my mouth feel so «violated» when I walk out.
I have to wait constantly even though there are plenty of staff, I totally feel like i’m being ignored. The entire appointment took about 1.5 hours, the amount of the time i was tended to was about 25 minutes at the most.
the worst part is the cleaning… the doctor, Dr. Reza i think, started the procedure in such rage, my mouth feel like has been «hit-​and-​run». He went thru the cleaning part in under 2 minutes flat, even with the light anesthesia applied, my gum hurts, not to mention the scraped skin after the procedure.
This is the worse cleaning i’ve ever had! My teeth gum not only hurt and bleed, and it’s not completely clean!
The staff are at least courteous when they decide to tend to you, and the only amusing thing at this facility is they have digital x-​ray on a monitor in front so you can see the result instantly, and watching tv while you wait (so you’ll end up watching more tv than talking to someone).
