This is my 8-year-old's new dentist. Loved it from our first experience. Very clean, very professional. Everything looks new and well kept. Plenty of parking. The office caters to children and we love that. 🦷πŸͺ₯❀️

Been here twice now and it was mostly positive. Last time, the Monday dentistβ€”Yarber, I thinkβ€”had a communication style I didn't appreciate. Don't try to check me in front of my kids, it's bad manners and oversteps your role. You can share info without being rude. Front desk and assistants were friendly and helpful. Previous doctor, Dr. A, was very nice and respectful. I'll try to book with her next time for pediatric dentistry in Los Angeles.
Owner Response
Thanks for your honest feedback. At Children's Dental Specialist in Los Angeles, we always aim to communicate respectfully. I'll speak with Dr. Yarber about ensuring all interactions are positive. We're glad you liked our assistants and hope to see you again with Dr. A for your child's dental care.

This dental office is a scam. They charged my insurance for services they didn't provide. Don't go here. I emailed for three months asking for a copy of my invoice and they wouldn't provide it. They didn't reply to emails because they know they're in the wrong. I'm contacting my insurance and reporting them to the dental board for fraudulent charges.
Owner Response
We're sorry to hear about your experience. At Children's Dental Specialist in Los Angeles, we take billing seriously. Please contact our office directly so we can review your account and address any concerns. We aim for transparency in all pediatric dentistry services.

First time taking my son here and I was nervous about finding the right dentist. We'd been to another one before, but this place exceeded expectations. They went above and beyond to make my son comfortable, especially Lorraineβ€”she was super sweet, attentive, and informative. The main dentist was great with him too. Honestly, I feel my son is in the right place for his dental needs. Definitely recommend their pediatric dentistry in Los Angeles.

My husband and I brought our son here for the first time. Honestly, we were impressed from walking in to leaving. The receptionist greeted us kindly, staff was knowledgeable and caring. The office and patient rooms were exceptionally clean, equipment neatly placed and covered. Thank you Dr. Yarber and staff for welcoming us. Looking forward to our son being in your care for years to come.

Routine appointments were amazing at first. But when I kept coming back with my special needs son, I saw them differently. Money hungry. First complaint: $75 cancellation fee even when you call ahead. I have two kids here so it gets pricey. Second: only one staff member, Yara I think, can handle special needs kids. She's amazing, the only reason I love this location. But even then...
Owner Response
We appreciate your feedback and are sorry for your frustrations. At Children's Dental Specialist in Los Angeles, we strive to accommodate all children, including those with special needs. We'll review our cancellation policy and ensure more team members are trained in special needs pediatric dentistry. Yara is wonderful, and we'll work to improve.

Three kids later, and several referrals later, still the best children's dentist hands down. Staff is always kind, service smooth. My kids love coming here. I always book with Tami and she even calls when something opens up if we preferred a different slot. She keeps everything hassle-freeβ€”which as a mom of three is a blessing.
Owner Response
We're so grateful for your continued trust! At Children's Dental Specialist in Los Angeles, Tami and our team love making visits smooth for families. Thanks for spreading the word about our pediatric dentistry. See you and your three soon!

If it is important to get a call back after hours when there is a dental emergency, this is not the place to go. My daughter had a dental emergency on Thursday night of a holiday weekend, and no dr. bothered to call back. Friday apparently was closed. I called all day Friday I left a messages in the morning called 15 min later I was not able to leave a message waited 30 minutes then i was able to leave a message. This happened twice. This dental office left my daughter in pain and has caused her anxiety. I can't take that away from her and they don't care. I had to called the office for an explanations once there were back open. The staff showed concerns but I have not gotten a call at least to apologizes. DON'T LEAVE AN EMERGENCY NUMBER IF YOUR NOT GOING TO RESPOND.

My experience was horrible at this office. They have poor customer service, their hours are not standard. Two particular incidents that I was not pleased about. 1. They don't have am appointments for dental work and asked to not feed my 5 y/o until 2p. I would not accept that appointment. 2. They require masks and my kids did not have masks. According to the CDC masks are not required. My husband and kids were turned away. I am now requesting my records because my family is done with this dentist office.

It was very unfortunate the attitude of the practice’s receptionist, because during our initial consultation with Dr. Brown she was great, she explained in detail what the treatment for my daughter would be. However, some of her staff definitely needs better manners. The receptionist had a pretty bad attitude every time I called, from the beginning. The last straw for me was when I got lectured about the staff β€œhaving vacation rights”. The receptionist words were literally, β€œWe have the right to take days off during the Christmas season because we have families too”. This only because I dared calling to ask if they had received any cancellations, in order for Dr. Brown to see my kid soon, because having to wait for a MONTH AND A HALF for her to start the treatment was bit concerning.
