West Coast Dental of 6th Street

you wait FOREVER it's expensive. I waited over an hour for a regular teeth cleaning and they charged over $600. After waiting for an hour and then discussing the price they told me the doctor was helping someone else and then asked if I had time to wait for today giving no context as to how long you'd have to wait.

Not a bad place for dental work. Staff is generally friendly. I usually go elsewhere but tried this place for the first time. Overall process was a little bit longer than other offices in the area that I've been to and this western dental location is more commercialized/has more moving parts. I came in for a general cleaning/check up. I saw 3-4 different staff members (other offices are generally 1-2) who did different tasks for my office visit. 1st person took the X-rays (had a bit of trouble understanding them with language barrier. Also they missed one X-ray's so another technician helped do another X-ray scan), one Dentist did a filling, the Hygienist did the cleaning (cleaning came out OK compared to elsewhere that I've been), one office coordinator came in to cover what was covered by insurance just before (after X-rays) the filling and cleaning was done. There was some wait time in getting the cleaning done after the X-rays were done. Some worry as well with equipment being missed for wipe down in between patient use. Arrived for a 2PM general cleaning appt, left about 4:20 PM. Again not a bad place to check out if you're close. River Denistry and some other dental places off of Wilshire blvd at PIH are in the area and pretty good as well with a smaller team that has you in and out and is not as commercialized.

Wow, Xiomara and Dr. Ahn were amazing. I was in pain for two months going back and forth with other clinics and I was getting the run around. Xiomara made everything smoothly from her attitude too explaining to me the process including questions I had about my insurance. I am making West Coast Dental my home clinic as of today and looking forward to coming here for my future dental care. Once again thank you Xiomara and Dr. Ahn for making me feel comfortable and providing me exceptional care. I would definitely recommend my friends and family.

Worst dental office in LA. They schedule you for a 4pm and you’re being bumped down by a patient an hour late from 3pm, sitting in the waiting room for 45 minutes. Then they reschedule you from your appointment an hour later to the next day and when you spend money on an uber to get there they tell you that you have no appointment. The office manager does not care and will tell you they’re doing you a favor by offering to see you, which involves you waiting until the doctor can see you after a number of patients with appointments, which isn’t really a favor because you had an appointment. Then she tells you that they’re actually doing you a favor because they could just not see you since their system says that you don’t have an appointment. They know their staff member, the girl in the 2nd middle chair with long hair, does not actually confirm that any appointments are actually scheduled. If you want to see a dentist, and not make two trips to spend 2 hours in the waiting room just for your leisure or a change of scenery, make sure you either call or don’t schedule with her in person, like I did.

Have had nothing but positive experiences. My needs are always considered and as someone with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and red hair, that is important. We tend to require increased local and general anesthetics and often people don't listen. Dr. Gallad and all the staff are gentle, informative, and patient. The scheduling process has been smooth. Staff is friendly at all times. Betty clearly explains and discusses costs and insurance coverage. Overall, 5 starts for me!
