Prestige Fifth Avenue Dental

This is a review of Dr. Zoya Yadgarov. I selected Dr. Yadgarov because she accepted my dental discount plan and was located near my office. It was a ridiculous experience. It took her assistant more than ½ hour to get a simple set of x-​rays and by the time she was done, my mouth was all cut up and bleeding. But that was just the prelude. I was there for a routine cleaning, checkup and because I had chipped a tooth. Instead of focusing on these three things, Dr. Yadgarov gave me the hard sell me on everything from botox to braces! She even asked if I had considered removing my silver amalgam fillings and replacing them. I reminded her several times about the chipped tooth and she said she would look at it after the cleaning. She mostly relied on the x-​rays for the exam, doing only the most cursory of hands-​on exams, even of a tooth that was (and still is) painful. Finally she finished the cleaning and dismissed me from the chair without looking at the chipped tooth. I reminded her again (3^rd or 4^th time since sitting in the chair). After finally attending to my chipped tooth, she spent a ridiculous amount of time getting me an estimate for braces and botox treatments which I had already told her I wasn’t interested in. It took her an additional 10 minutes to figure out the bill according to the fee schedule. In all, it was almost 2 hours for extremely sub-​par service. I have been to a lot of dentists in my life but I’ve never had one so focused on upselling me on services like Dr. Yadgarov. Terrible experience. I will definitely not be returning.

I started coming Dr. Simkha when we lived in New York. Ever since then we moved to California and I still come every year to see her for my teeth. I have tried to find a good dentist there in Marin. All the work they did was regretfully unprofessional. I had to redo all the crowns with Yelena Simkha and although it was tough to accomodate my travel time, she did a perfect job. Her attitude is more than professional, she knows on a spot what she is doing, without a fail. Healing time after surgeries are minimal and I am convinced she has a special touch for her clients. Welcoming friendly staff, easy to communicate and very attentive. The new office is very tastfully done. Love this place and will keep coming here.

Recently had crown placed. She took her time explaining everything. Price was very reasonable. New crown is indistinguishable from other teeth. Highly recommend!

I write this review mainly want the professionals to think about respecting other people’s time and do a better job with booking appointments. I booked an appointment and did not even get to see Dr. Zoya since she was running late. I totally understand when professionals are running behind schedule and I normally can tolerate about 30 – 60 mins max delay. I was waiting in the waiting room for about an hour, and then finally realized the lady beside me have an appointment scheduled before me. I asked the assistant and FINALLY was told that Dr. Zoya was performing surgery and was running late. Seriously, totally understand but WHY CAN“T SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT EARLIER JUST TO GIVE ME A HEADSUP??? I could have sit there easily for a few hours waiting and not knowing anything! seriously, everyone is busy juggling with their schedule, how much do you respect people’s time if you can just have them sitting there and wait for a few hours to get an appointment. That’s just not acceptable. Dr. Zoya may have been wonderful, but I’ll never go back there nor will I ever recommend that to anyone based on this unprofessional service.

I saw Dr Sinkha for a routine cleaning, but it was my first time with her.
She took some standard Xays and immediately started telling me about how since their wasnt a crown on one of my front teeth, it could break. then she showed me pictures of a patient of hers it supposedly happened to. (she hadnt even looked in my mouth yet).after she looked in my mouth she says «Oh» and takes some of it back due to my bite. anyway, she tells me I needs a filing and a wisdom tooth pulled and sends me off after the cleaning (without a referral sheet or any information about a Dr which could see for the extraction. I had the ask the receptionists.
I went back today for the filing and the assistant who seats in the room doesnt speak to me, as if Im not there. she checks her cell phone numerous times and then has to be reminded what to do by the dentist, in front of me. When Dr Simkha comes in she asks me about the extraction and I say I didnt do it due to lack of information when I left and she says she can pul it herself. Yada yada she fills the filing and I have to ask her which tool she is pulling.
I got to the filing and the tooth pulled and am never coming here again. (I checked the info she told me with my sister who is an orthodontist in LA, before going to this appointment by the way) There was just an extreme lack of bedside manner and I am excited to find another dentist that treats their patient’s like people :)

Hi everyone! I suppose everybody knows how hard to find a really good dentist! But I’ve never had a better one! Dr Simkha has been my dentist for a few year and i very glad i found her!!! She did a lot of work for me such as cleaning, root canal and crowns and I’ve never got any problems after that. I hate going to dentist! But she changed my mind about it! All the employees are very nice, polite and friendly. I’m happy i came there! I recommend her to all my family and friends!
