Dr. Irving A. Meeker, MS, DDS

I have been going to Dr. Meeker since 2000. He did MAJOR work on my teeth!!! All the work he did over 15yrs ago looks AMAZING not once I had to fix anything he previously worked on. The staff is friendly, office is clean and quite. He is all about the quality and not quantity! Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Best dental work and patient service ever ! Made an appointment for wisdom teeth extraction and Dr. Meeker was an amazing choice ! Everyone is welcoming and ready to answer any questions. Dr meeker is professional, honest and very efficient. Overall best experience I’ve had. Highly recommend this place and so grateful I had Dr. Meeker extract all my wisdom teeth.

I’ve never been to a better dentist in all my life. The staff is friendly and the office is clean and welcoming. I’m one of those people who try and find any excuse not to go to the dentist. After visiting Dr. Meeker for a root canal problem, I find myself looking for reasons to go back. It felt like visiting a family member who genuinely cares for my wellness. I also appreciate that the doctor looked at the results of my exrays and tests with me as opposed to reviewing in his office and coming into to tell me later. Everything was quick painless and actually enjoyable. They had noise canceling headphones that I could plug into my phone and listen to pandora while they drilled. Excellent bedside manner. Every person working there is friendly! I recommend Dr. Meeker to all my friends and family!

I have been going to Dr. Meeker for almost 10 years. He and his staff are the best there is. I’ve had to have some pretty severe dental work done over the years, and Dr. Meeker has always been very gentle, honest, friendly, thorough and reasonable. I highly recommend Dr. Meeker.

I visited Dr. Meeker earlier today to have a second opinion. The previous dentist told me I had two cavities, and was charging a large amount for fillings. I’m 37 years old and have never had cavities before in my life. Though I knew that I might have a couple, by this point. I wanted to find out how much he would charge to fill them. I was pleasantly surprised when he told me he didn’t see a single cavity! I asked him about a specific area on one of my molars. He said it was just a pin-​sized hole in the sealant, and not the tooth itself. He offered to replace the sealant for free… Which he did, right then and there. He also only charged me minimally for the entire appointment.
If you’re looking for a dentist who is not in it only for the money, I recommend Dr. Meeker. His staff is also extremely friendly and sincere. Allie, at the front desk has always been kind and very helpful during the multiple phone conversations and face-​to-​face interaction. Needless to say, I will be back to see them in the future.

Dr Meeker and the staff are amazing. Our whole family have been so happy to have found him many years ago now. Big smiles from all of us.

Dr. Meeker is amazing. I had my second visit today and already I have seen vast improvements. I recommend him to anyone in search of a professional, knowledgeable and kind dentist.

Best in the business. Period.
Dr. Meeker is personable and professional. Staff is welcoming. Office is great. The ancient art of dentistry, perfectly practiced.

I have only great things to say about Dr. Meeker and his staff. From day one I have been treated with kindness and attention. My dental needs have been met and I am so pleased with the results. My dental insurance is not the best. Dr. Meeker put no pressure on me to do the work in a short period of time. He did the most serious parts first and then took on the other work over a decent period of time so that my dental bill wouldn’t strangle my pocketbook. As a single mother you don’t know how much I appreciated that.
I had a terror of going to the dentist and avoided going for many years. I was referred to Dr. Meeker by a friend. I am so grateful to her and now I would gladly refer anyone to Dr. Meeker.

If there were more ‘stars’ available to give a higher rating to Dr. Meeker and his staff, I would do it!
I am so very grateful to have found an extremely knowledgable, technically competent, caring, top notch dentist, with state of the art equipment as well! Having recently moved from Florida, (with a GREAT dentist there), I needed a cleaning, a new crown and an implant.
It has not been 24 hours since i now have the 1^st of three procedures for my tooth implant. It took approximately an hour and a half from start to finish to imbed the screw in my gum yesterday.
The details are important: easy scheduling for my convenience, with text and email reminders; kind, considerate treatment by all staff throughout my visit; consideration for my comfort and safety throughout the entire procedure; direct communication, explanations, questions answered, sharing X-​rays, photos etc, keeping me informed about what was going to happen next; and most importantly, an extremely clean office area, with attention to detail with my health in mind. I was even given an antibiotic and penicillin BEFORE the procedure and antibiotics to take with me so i didn’t have to stop at a pharmacy on the way home !; followup, I could call at any time last night if I needed anything, I received a call this morning from Dr Meeker (personally) asking about my night so i could describe how I felt, with my questions answered as well.
If you need any kind of dental work, PLEASE do not hesitate, to make an appointment with Dr. Meeker! I am so glad there is a place to communicate my experience for anyone who cares to read this.
THANK YOU AGAIN, DR. MEEKER, YOUR VERY COMPETENT ASSISTANT AND YOUR ENTIRE STAFF!!!

Dearest Unilocal users,
I am originally from Russia but recently moved from Portland, OR and was in desperate need of a dentist in the Pasadena area. After extensive research and a referral from a close friend, Dr. Meeker was my choice.
I had a tough time deciding wether or not to fly back to my dentist of 15 years, or staying local. Within one visit I was pleased. His work is professional, efficient, and pleasant. I had recently been suffering from severe gum/​tooth pain and Meeker was understanding enough to schedule me same day I called! Will continue to take care of my dental needs and strongly recommend for others.
Oh, and affordable too! Thank you Dr. Meeker. A+

I had a horrid experience with Dr. Meeker. You should read it I had an emergency in that the temporary tooth that Dr. Meeker put in about six or seven months ago broke. This is the third or fourth time that it’s come off but this is the first time it’s actually broken. I called him on emergency (for which his website indicates his availability) and for which I had never been charged before. I explained to him yesterday, Saturday that it was an emergency in that I had to go to adonation gala on Sunday.
Dr. Meeker called me on Sunday one hour before our agreed upon appointment and said he was going to charge me $ 200.00 extra. Never mind that every time the temporary fell out, it seems to have been a weekend, and he came in to his office, very pleasant saying he lived really close so it was no problem for him.
Thinking of our history, I said Dr Meeker, you have never charged for emergencies regarding failure of your «temporary» on the FRONT temporary (which hides 2 teeth he has drilled and had me live with continually for about 6 dmonths!) I asked him why he was being so different with me. He mumbled something that his staff wdnt be there and said that he didn’t think that I thought it was an emergency, etc. (Can you believe that??!) I said it was an emergency and why.
Shocked at what seemed to be in bad faith, I said I wd have to talk to my husband about the sudden $ 200. extra charge. I emphasized that we weren’t made out of money, but we were going to a fundraiser, a non fancy «gala» that we had already paid for to donate to a place that helps anybody to go to a free, dignified house for the people who had no place to go when faced with death and dying to go their, and for free, have a dignified death.
I said that it was also an emergency because 2 front teeth spaces that the «temporary» covered up were now completely visible. Wouldn’t you think a dentist would understand that I was now trapped and since it was just after noon, dentists who were open half day would all be closed.
He told me to call him back (after talking to my husband about whether we could pay an additional $ 200.00 that Dr Meeker was insisting on just an hour before my agreed upon emergency appointment) and leave a message on his phone because he was leaving for someplace.
Never mind that I had told him on Saturday that it was a emergency I was having, we agreed it was an emergency, regarding an old «temporary» that had fallen off some 3 to 4 times before. That the emergency included that I had to go to a donation supported «gala» for the free home like place for death and dying. On Saturday, Dr. Meeker said that, if I had the broken 2 parts of the «temporary, (which I did) he could fix it on Sunday (the next day). As usual for the emergency repair of the «temporary» no fees were discussed because there never had been a fee of any sort for repairing or re-​glueing the temporary.
Why did I have need to have the «temporary» reglued, and now, repaired? It was supposed to be for covering up the space for only 2 months. However, Dr. Meeker kept looking at the implant and saying it needed another month to heal. After 6 months, he still said nothing about taking an imprint for making a crown to attach to the implant for that tooth. Instead, he worked on another tooth.
When he started drilling the 3^rd crown, it felt to me as if her was out of control and drilling all over my crown, like a mad man! And this, before knowing what his charges would be to finish the 2 front teeth, I started to get really, really nervous and blurted out something like, Dr Meeker, OCD (short for obsessive compulsive disorder). Dr Meeker has said he has OCD, to my husband and me, about his making some amazingly complicated lamps and showed us photos on his computer of a beautiful chair he hand made. He added that his handy work on the intricate items showed that he is a man without a life.
Back to Sunday: I returned the call and left voice mail saying that it is sad to me, how he is treating me so differently. That we can’t go to his office and pay a new and sudden charge of $ 200.00 for a «temporary» that is so old that having it suddenly break (he checked it and had to reglue it about 2 or 3 weeks ago) is likely.
I explained that this means we will not be able to go to help fund and otherwise support an organization (after the Swedish model for every town having a wonderful home and home environment to be able to go for death and dying, for anyone.)
I said that (as his refusal to fix my temporary without extra payment indicated) I would be in at 9:00 Monday (tommorow) unless I hear back from him. Haven’t hear back yet. It’s 2 pm. I look sort of like a freak (I tend to smile a lot). I am staying home all day because I’m very sad, have a lot of anxiety over Dr. Meeker’s sudden mean, defensive & aggressive actions.
I feel self conscious, and abused by Dr. Meeker’s unprofessional conduct. So I’ll be home all day

Dr. Meeker may be the best dentist in Los Angeles.
What makes him so good?
His work is excellent, and he’s committed to doing high quality work for every visit, no matter how big or small the job.
He uses state of the art tools, and techniques.
He’s dedicated to making sure his patients are comfortable.
His staff is super friendly and supportive.
Even the location is good; it’s conveniently located, and much more welcoming than your average office complex.
I know other people who see Dr. Meeker, and I know they feel the same way. He really is exceptional.

Dr. Meeker and his staff are so wonderful. Dr. Meeker pays attention to the details, puts you at ease with his sincerity and knowledge. Dr. Meeker goes above and beyond what most «dentist’s» do these days. He is very patient and compassionate! I had a crown and 6 veneers placed by Dr. Meeker and he walked me thru the very scary but exciting process. He even called me after hours to go over any questions or concerns I had. The staff is always kind and willing to help! I would recommend Dr. Meeker to anyone in need of dentist or looking for a new one in the Pasadena area.

Dr. Meeker is as good as it gets!
I was introduced to Dr. Meeker by my childhood orthodontist almost 25 years ago. I am now 39 and I live outside of California. When possible, I have scheduled my dental appointments to occur during my visits back to California so I can make sure my mouth stays in good health; and, if I need any work done, it will get done well and without pain.
I have had many fillings due to love for sugar and teeth grinding have NEVER experienced pain while under Dr. Meeker’s care or under the care of his hygenists. I have fillings ranging from 5 – 20 years old and I can only think of one that has needed replacing due to wear and tear.
Dr. Meeker installed a gold crown about a year ago. It was also painless and the crown feels like my original tooth. The point is that Dr. Meeker is EXCELLENT at what he does and he gives his patients quality 1:1 care as necessary, and not prematurely. He knows what treatments are best for you and you will not find better care in the Southern California area. Visiting Dr. Meeker is like seeing an old friend and every time I see him, I remind him he can never retire :-)

I’ve come here in several occasions and the whole staff is really professional! They do the best work and are also friendly! I had my wisdom teeth removed here and also had fills! I recommend this place to anyone! Dr. Meeker has a lot of experience and does all kinds of different work!

I am writing this review for my boss, Casey. She does not have a Unilocal but was SO IMPRESSED with Dr. Meeker that she insisted I let the Unilocaling world know!
After having issues with several other dentists, Dr. Meeker was recommended to Casey and she is so happy he was. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and precise, but is the nicest guy! He even called her last night personally to ask her how she was feeling after she had work done. The staff is wonderful, the office is clean with all the latest technology, she had all her options laid out and Dr. Meeker discussed all of them with her in detail so she could make the best choice, AND the prices are so reasonable! (How weird for a dentist! Haha)
He is absolutely the BEST! She recommends him highly to anyone :)

As a recent transplant to the area, I was in the market for a new dentist. Dr. Meeker and his staff were above and beyond what I wanted and needed in a dental experience. The staff is welcoming, kind, and are service oriented.
In the last couple of months I had an emergency crown and three dental implants put in. Dr. Meeker masterfully sculpted my crown and placed my implants in with minimal pain. The good doctor comes across as a perfectionist and it shows in the time he takes ensuring that everything is just right. In each interaction, I walked away with a complete understanding of what they were doing, why, and what other options I had.
I would recommend Dr. Meeker to anyone and everyone looking for a quality dentist with an exceptional staff.

I had 6 veneers done by Dr. Meeker and I couldn’t be happier! I can proudly smile for the first time in my life. Not only is he courteous and professional, his work is impeccable! My teeth look incredibly natural and I am beyond pleased.
I would recommend his services to anyone looking for true quality work. Dr. Meeker and his staff care very much for their patients and it clearly shows in their work.

I am an international student in Pasadena, and have the basic school health insurance that does not cover for dental care.
So when my wisdom teeth started to swell and hurt, I was terrified how much it would cost and if I could find a good dentist. A friend of mine referred me to a good dentist she knew, but it was all the way in Torrance and they said they could only examine me a week later because they were so booked. i needed somewhere close that was good so I decided to check out some reviews on Unilocal.
Based on Imran H.‘s review, I related to the situation he had and decided to give Dr. Meeker’s place a try.
When I called, they gave me an appointment first thing the next morning, and also gave me a good idea of how much my examination might cost. The staff were all very professional and friendly. The atmosphere of the office was great!
Dr. Meeker himself was also very friendly and gave me a very reasonable price knowing that I did not have insurance. Because I am in my finals, have graduation in a week and a half, plus am moving to DC right afterwards, he suggested me to wait on pulling my wisdom teeth till I settle down in DC, instead of pulling it at his place.
He referred me to a great dentist in DC, which he said was his best friend and also his personal dentist that he trusts to do all the work on his teeth.
I was so happy with the price and the examination that I ended up getting my teeth cleaned as well. It took about 45 mins, and I was out feeling great with my teeth clean, and antibiotics that would help my gum swell around the wisdom teeth.
I hate doctors, and am very picky with where I go. (Usually I go once and tend to not like them in many cases.) It is such a bummer that I am moving because I would gladly come back to this place for any dental care if I were staying in this area.
For anyone in the Pasadena area, I would definitely recommend Dr. Meeker.
