Dr. Smile Dental Group

I’m going to kindly ask the dentist not to respond to this review as I’ve heard and seen enough from you people…
It’s sad that everyone is writing how the dentist tells you that you have several cavities then you don’t really when you get a second opinion. The same thing just happened to me! The doctor told me I had 4 cavities then I got a 2^nd opinion and I had zero cavities. How upsetting! It’s a fraudulent business to blatantly lie to patients and prey on them for their money. The area that Dr. Smiles is located in is an area of low income families, so this is basically stealing from the poor. My new dentist used all sorts of technology with cameras and TV screens to prove to me that I, in fact, have zero cavities. The dentist then advised me to filed a complaint with the Dental Review Board of CA! Business practices like these are grounds to get your licenses revoked. Wake up! Be honest! You are money hungry!
On another note if you schedule an appointment it will most likely be cancelled on you and changed at the very last minute. The office doesn’t realize that you work and it’s a hassle to keep taking time off work to cater to the dentist. Last time I checked I was supposed to be the customer! Bad business, poor dental practices, stay far far away.
I’m going to kindly ask the dentist not to respond to this review as I’ve heard and seen enough from you people… it’s disgusting!

I went to Dr. Smile in San Pedro for over 3.5 years and have always been impressed. The office is clean and well taken care of, and the staff was always pleasant to deal with. They always remembered my name and a little info about me to make me comfortable. The dentists and hygenisists were always thorough and ensured that I did not feel pain during my appointments.
I have had them fill about 4 different cavities, extract my wisdom teeth, perform 2 root canals, and numerous bi-​annual cleanings, a night-​guard, and a deep cleaning on one occasion. For those 2 root canals, they ordered crowns and they fit well each time. I even had trouble paying for one of the root canals and they worked with me like no other dentist would to ensure I had the best care possible. That really meant a lot to me and I appreciated what they did for me back then.
Overall if you’re looking for a dentist in the San Pedro area, look no further. This is your place.

Dr Nadi and Staff went above and beyond to accommodate me while experiencing a dental emergency. Outstanding customer service provided by front desk.

Dr. Nadi’s been the best dentist I’ve ever had. She’s always helpful and done great work with my sensitive teeth.

On Dec. 4, 2015, my husband called them and had an appointment right away on the same day early morning because of my teeth with crown was painful. They are very accommodating. Definitely I will go back there and let them take care of my teeth soon

I really enjoy coming to this dental office. The Dr. Nadi and her staff make this office so welcoming. I would not change a thing about this office. Such a pleasure every time I come in for an appointment.

Great staff! I like how professional and nice they are. Jacob was awesome and really made me feel comfortable by explaining everything. I will definitely be back.

Dr. Smile is the best really great and respectful. They always help their patients in any way that they can they really care about you here. They try to make everything painless as possible always want the best for your dental needs. Everybody welcomes you with a smile when you walk in and you just feel welcomed (even though it’s the dentist) but other than that everything is just quick and easy and they help you out in any way they can also the dental assistants are the best they really know what they are doing.

Dr. Nadi is the best dentist in the Harbor Area. She is very caring, calming and explained everything about my treatment so I can understand. I appreciate her so much. Yvette and the whole office staff were so wonderful. I was treated like I was the only patient in the office, appropriate time was dedicated to me. I loved their friendliness and their smiles. The office itself, I loved! The colors were so calming and beautiful, office was also very pristine. It was an extra to have a television in front of me so I could watch Netflix while I was waiting, TV itself was also used to show me x-​Rays and photos of my teeth! Really high tech. I loved the vibe of the office, the staff front and back office and Dr. Nadi are all wonderful. I’am so grateful and thankful to have such a great dentist.
I highly recommend Dr. Smile San Pedro

My very first time here & I must say I was really satisfied. After years of searching for the right dentist I believe I have found my home dental office. Please don’t sleep on this place very informative staff that will definitely make u feel appreciated.
Yvette & staff are the best!!!

The doctor is very attentive to your needs and the girls are great at what they do. I really recommend for others to go to this office also I have recommended other people and they also love it there.

My husband and I only come here for pearly whites it’s the best! I highly recommend it to everyone. A few of our friendship here now.

This is the best dental place ever. Do I look forward to seeing my dentist? Absolutely! So does my son!
Dr. Nadi always does fantastic work and rebuilt my son’s front teeth after they were broken while playing in the pool. She did such a fantastic job no one can tell they were ever broken. My son loves coming to the dentist and always looks forward to seeing the dentist and hygienist.
Thank you Dr. Nadi & Irene Yeager for taken such fantastic care of me and my family. I recommend you guys to EVERYONE AND I DO MEAN EVERYONE!!! Come in. You will NOT be disappointed.
The dental team at Dr. Smile is top-​notch and I am so blessed to have found this place. Dr. Nadi remembers her patients and always makes a connection. Irene Yeager, the dental hygienist, also makes sure she knows her patients and remembers us. These people are so genuine and caring about the people who come in that they are like an extended family.
Give Dr. Smile a try. You will not be disappointed. They are honest, trustworthy, knowledgable, and take great care in doing their job right. Thank you Dr. Smile. Thank you Irene, and Yvette. And especially a grand thank you to Dr. Nadi!!!

Do not visit this dental office unless you want to get ripped off! I purchased a coupon for teeth whitening for $ 45 since I did not want to pay $ 300 at my regular dental office. I scheduled an appointment the same day.
When I arrived at their office, the dental assistant took the x-​rays and then escorted me to the exam room. She told me that if I had any cavities, I would have to get the work done before doing the teeth whitening. I explained to her that I just had my regular 6 month check-​up in April, which included a cleaning, with my regular dentist and I was cavity free at that time.
The Dentist grabbed my chart and before she could walk in the room, the dental assistant called her to the x-​ray room to go over my x-​rays. I could hear them «quietly» discussing the work that I needed. During the exam, the Dentist proceeded to tell me that I had 5 cavities and that I needed 1 crown! From April to now (July)? And by the way, they never showed me my x-​rays! I asked for a list of the work that they «claimed» I needed and I took it to my regular dentist. He ASSURED me that I did not need any of the work! I have been going to my dentist for 2 years and I have never had a problem.
Needless to say, I demanded a refund for the teeth whitening coupon and I will never step foot in that office again!

First I’ll start off by saying that all the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. From the girl in the front, office manager, hygienist and the doctor. They were very helpful and informative when it was to all my questions and accommodated my husband and I since we drove over here from the San Fernando Valley.
They went as far as taking care of my one month old so that we can get attended faster and not have to have the baby here for a long period of time.
The doctor, Dr. Nadi, explained everything that she was going to do to my husband and I. Step by step. This to me is very important because I am terrified of the dentist so I knew what to expect.
The office is impeccable and very high tech with state of the art equipment. Mind you I haven’t been to the dentist in a loooong time, so immediately I felt comfortable. They have TVs to entertain patients and toys for the kids to play with and not get bored.
I highly recommend this dentist!

Take it all back, this office tried to tax me out $ 650 more than the two other opinions dentist gave me for a simple extraction. Did half assed work. And my new dentist had to clear up their mistakes. Only thing I appreciate was the dental assistants and female doctor on staff they were all a pleasure, on the other their office managers and male older doctor are greedy and will try to overcharge you on everything. At least I learned early and only lost out on a couple hundred dollars .
Honest business is good business guys. Find a legit small practice, not this money hungry staff. Thanks Dr. Smile. Leaving with a frown.

I visited Dr. Smiles since they were at my job offering coupons. This should have been the first indication that they are to be avoided, but I was in search for a dentist close to work so I went anyways.
On the fist visit I was supposed to get a exam and cleaning. I specifically made the appointment for 9am so I would have enough time to get to work by 12:30pm. After the «examination» which consisted of being told I would need a root canal to fix a job that another dentist worked on and 8 fillings, I was told that the dental hygienist was busy until 12pm and would have to wait till until she was done.
I told them I had to reschedule since I was heading to work. They kept pressuring me to schedule the root canal saying I must be in horrific pain. I wasn’t, it was a mild discomfort. I told them I couldn’t schedule a root canal since I had work and school for the next week. The receptionist chimes in «can’t you just call out?» No, I have a real job where you can’t just decide to get a root canal one week and just call out. Sorry to disappoint you.
I scheduled a cleaning for the following week and received a call at 8PM THE NIGHT BEFORE canceling the appointment due to an «unexpected emergency.»
Went to a different dentist, no cavities, no fillings, no root canal.
Dr.Smiles is a giant scam and I’m disgusted at the way you operate your business. Worse then a used car dealership.

I started attending the torrance location early feb. I hadn’t been to the dentist in quite a while and also hadn’t found an office I felt comfortable with. With that I had plenty of work to have done. About a month in a half later I am finally done with all my dental work and moving towards braces. I’m so happy I chose this office as my dentist. Since the beginning everyone there has made me feel very comfortable and happy. Claudia the receptionist has gone above and beyond to help me with all my dental needs and questions. I’ve had work done by all the doctors there and they have all been great especially Dr. Kayvon. This office is very accommodating they always have early appts available and take u in right away and a plus they let you watch Netflix while sitting in your chair. I highly recommend this office you won’t be dissapointed.

Got all 4 wisdom teeth pulled today and I was surprised on how fast and painless it was. Very satisfied customer!!! Best dental visit I’ve ever experienced! Thank you Dr. Smile!!!

OK on the good side– I agree with others that this place has a clean nicely organized dental office. The wait isn’t long etc that’s why I’m giving it 2 stars.
On the bad side –they run this like a business to extract as much money from you as possible it seems.
One of the «filtered» reviews was similar to my experience. I had the same issue with the «scaling» which is a also called «root planing» you can google the words scaling vs cleaning.
Anyways she kept charging for scaling instead of the one that is supposed to come free twice a year with your insurance.
I recently switched to another dentist and he does equal cleanings twice a year that are FREE with my insurance. I asked him if I needed a deep cleaning as Dr. Nadi tried to push on me at every 6 months and my new dentist claimed that it is not only unnecessary, but something that a lot of dentist try to do to squeeze more money out of pocket from you.
The minute you are done with your consultation they send in this aggressive front desk lady who tells you all the charges then how you want to pay for it. This is all while you’re sitting with your mouth open kinda confused ya know? So several times I came and just paid with credit card.
After a few times I felt suspicious so I would call my insurance and a lot of stuff they either overcharged for or charged for the more expensive things when only the cheaper or things that are included were performedd (ie charging for root plane when i was just gettin g a normal teeth cleaning) I have since gotten refunded part of the last time I was charged, after my insurance company and I came to the realization that I was getting charged for things.
Another example is when I went there and got 5 cavities but they charged my insurance for 7. I was pretty mad about this one.
So basically be careful here if you don’t have really expensive insurance that will cover all this stuff.
Also expect to pay a couple times more than other dentists in the area. If you decide to come here and money is no issue then I deeply suggest that you double check your bills and call your insurance company to make sure they’re not charging for unnecessary things.
I’m deeply disappointed.
