Recently my wife and teenage son had complex procedure done at this office. Absolutely the very best. Staff was very courteous and professional. Knowledge and professionalism of Dr. Kotikian is incomparable. Thanks for being there for us. What a great experience.
Exceptional service. Staff is great and professional. Dr Kotikian’s professionalism and expertise is unmatched. Wonderful experience. Thank you.
I got my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Kotikian. Although there were delays due to my insurance, everyone at the office was nice and helpful. Dr. Kotikian was thorough and informative regarding the procedure and aftercare. I’m happy that my teeth are out and only experienced mild discomfort during the healing process.
I had a great experience getting my wisdom teeth out by Dr. Kotikian. I did not experience any bruising nor discomfort days after the surgery. The staff were very professional, helpful, and informative.
I was sent here by my dentist to get my wisdom teeth removed. They were efficient and did a really good job, especially when I was struggling with needles and coming off of anesthetic. They also did a good job concerning allergies, which was very appreciated!
Dr. Kotikian is one of the best doctors I have met! I intitially went to his office when I developed a problem with TMJ during high school. It irritated me and made it harder for me to eat. He was able to give me great advice to reduce my pain, such as muscle relaxants and facial massages. Now, I no longer experience ANY pain regarding TMJ. Fast forward to last week, I had an impacted wisdom teeth surgery with Dr. K. He is amazing once again. I literally barely had any pain and I recovered within 3 days. I had no bruises and just slight swelling. The medication and advice he gave was great and it was a smooth process. By the way, the rest of the staff are super nice and always are happy to help. I feel intimidated when I am in doctors offices because I am scared of being in pain, but Dr. Kotikian is so nice and charismatic that I never feel bad in his office! Always feel calm there, I definitely recommend.
Honestly I was already convinced that Dr. Kotikian would be the one to extract all 4 of my wisdom teeth before I meet him. Hes not only a doctor of dentistry but also a maxillofacial surgeon. Try finding another doctor after you read that. During my consultation he answered all my questions and his soft spoken voice calmed my nerves. My extractions went very well with surprisingly little pain.
I got 4 wisdom teeth removed, the recovery wasn’t bad at all as many people anticipated it would be, doctor Kotikian was great, professional and followed up with me the day after.I’m glad I came here.
Great experience! My 9 year old needed to have two teeth pulled since they were not falling out on their own. After the consult with Dr. Kotikian, I knew he was the one we were going to for the procedure. I was more nervous than my daughter, but there was no need. He did an amazing job distracting my daughter and keeping her calm while they were preparing her for the procedure. So distracted that she was completely unaware of the needle going in her arm! Everything went very smoothly and quickly and there was no excess bleeding, swelling or bruising!I would highly recommend Dr. Kotikian!
On May 16th, I visited this establishment from a referral. I had to wait for over an hour for a panoramic xray and consultation. The consultation lasted about 10 minutes with the orthodontist seating next to computer monitor and advising that I had an infection in my mouth and that I would need a biopsy. The doctor submitted a bill to my insurance company $230.00. I wish I could make that kind of money in 10 minutes. About three days ago, I received the bill and no return envelope was included with the bill. This place is all about money.
Dr. Kotikian is truly amazing! I feel like my 15 year old son got the very best treatment with his 8 extractions. I was very nervous going in, but Dr Kotikian took the time to explain the whole procedure and to answer all of our questions. My son had minimal swelling and discomfort. We are so thankful for Dr. Kotikian’s excellent care and the overall positive experience at his practice.
I had my bottom wisdom teeth removed by Dr.Kotikian and I must say that the experience was beyond excellent. The front-end girls are very nice and kind. Wait was less then 10 min (so you are in and out very quickly). Dr.Kotikian is an extremely knowledgeable and caring surgeon. He explained to me thoroughly every detail about the surgery and aftercare. The surgery was painless and the recovery was very quick with no major swelling. I am very happy that I picked Dr.Kotikian for my surgery and would highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for a dental surgeon for any dental work.Thank you Dr.Kotikian and staff.
My gf and I truly had an awful experience with wisdom teeth being pulled. The pricing was much higher than what the internet said something like this would be. We talked to the dentist and he said he’s 80% less than his competitors and he has the best pricing, this was a joke. The staff here charged us for this overpriced procedure and once she went into operation they then told me they forgot an additional $330 charge which I needed to pay for. Seriously??? How was this even possible? I had to pay it because I didn’t want them upset with her in the room. Final thought, AVOID THIS PLACE! I have never met such shady staff, this was a nightmare!
Growing up I always heard about how painful and miserable the process of having your wisdom teeth removed was. I went to Dr. Kotikian for this very procedure and was amazed at how quick, easy, and painless the entire process was. I strongly recommend that anyone and everyone looking to have their wisdom teeth taken out see Dr. Kotikian immediately. The office is in great shape, his staff is extremely nice and caring, and Dr. Kotikian is a class act professional who really knows how to make his patients feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed. 5 stars does not do Dr. Kotikian justice, I want to give him 10 stars!
I am very pleased that my general dentist referred me to Dr. Kotikian.I highly recommend Dr. Kotikian especially to those who have never had oral surgery.I was very nervous about getting my wisdom tooth extracted.It had cavity and it cracked at a time when I was reviewing for the LSAT.So I was really concerned about recovery time.It was great to have Dr. Kotikian clearly explain the procedure and what to expect during the healing process.That made me relax. Knowing that he is also a doctor assured me that I was in good hands.I opted for local anaesthesia.Since I was awake, I could feel the pressure from the tooth extraction.I realized after that I should have closed my eyes during the procedure.But it was so quick that I did not have a chance to be more anxious.Plus, Dr. Kotikian was very careful and even asked me a couple of times if I was uncomfortable or if anything was bothering me.After the surgery, it was also pretty fast dealing with his staff for scheduling my follow up appointment.The whole process was very efficient. I was out of there in less than an hour.His office also provided me with a brochure that listed post-operative instructions, which I read and followed religiously.Dr. Kotikian also called that same night to check how I was doing.Within a few days, I had little discomfort.I came back to see him 2 weeks after for a follow up and I was informed that the extraction site was healing well.Overall, my experience with the wisdom tooth extraction was very pleasant and not traumatic at all.
It was my first time getting my wisdom teeth out, all four of them at the same time. The extraction went well, I actually DIDNT swell up! Amazing. Dr. Kotikian was very kind and really cared for any concerns I had about the healing process. His staff is very welcoming and they were very helpful. Thank you so much!
As a first time patient of Dr. Kotikian, I was very satisfied with everything. I was referred to him for the removal of my wisdom teeth. Everything went well with the surgery, and by following all his instructions, I experienced no pain after the procedure. He is very patient and helpful with any questions you have, and makes sure that everything proceeds smoothly. He is an excellent doctor.
I am a new patient of Dr. Kotikian and had a wonderful experience with him and his staff. I had all four wisdom teeth removed and the process was smooth, quick and relatively painless. Recovery was extremely speedy due to Dr. Kotikians skill and care. His staff are courteous, efficient and helpful. Dr. Kotikian combines expertise and genuine interest in his patients, a rare combination. Would not hesitate to recommend him and this practice to others.
Dr. Kotikian, Armond was great and well rounded. He was recommended by a family member, and a good friend of mine. I do believe he is one of the best oral surgeons around and also both in professional demeanor and skill. Also very compassionate, great chair side manners and has a good sense of humor. Well just take a look at his accomplishments, a DDS and MD.My personal experience with him was great, 10/10 outstanding. I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed, and so far so good about 1.5 weeks later. Recovery was great, mild expected pain, minimal bruising, swelling and little bleeding as expected with this type of procedure. ****He also called to follow up on my recovery the same night. My follow up appointment and visit went smoothly and fast. Did not have to wait too long in the waiting room. Staff is great, they are focused and know their stuff.During the consultation appointment, he was very informative, knowledgeable and gave me at least a couple of options. He did not try to rush me, took the time to answer all my questions. Even though I was a cash patient, (no insurance) he was willing and able to make sure I understood everything that involved with the procedure.I would recommend this doctor without any reservations, dont take my word for it, stop by or make an appointment and see for yourself how great this guy is. I cannot recommend a better doctor for this procedure.Office is very organized, waiting room is clean, smells fresh and clean.
I was referred to Dr. Armond Kotikian by my primary doctor for the removal of my wisdom teeth and I am so glad I went! The office is very clean and organized with new equipment. The receptionists are friendly and understanding, they got me in and out within 10 minutes for both my consultation and follow up appointment. Dr. Kotikian has to be one of the most professional and highly skilled doctors I have met. He is also friendly and very easy to talk to. I am more than satisfied with my experience. The day of the surgery was very smooth and efficient. As far as recovery, my face did not swell and I hardly had any pain. I am so grateful that I chose Dr. Kotikian. Highly recommended!
Clean, organized office with unparalleled quality of dental work. I had 3 wisdom teeth removed, and by the 3rd day post op I was out eating dumplings and going to haunted mazes. I was nervous about surgery (especially the IV injection,) but Dr. Kotikian made me feel relaxed and calm. The process overall was miles above what I expected and I highly recommend Dr. Kotikian for any advanced dental services you need.
Had a very good experience with the removal of my wisdom teeth.Dr. Kotikian removed four of my wisdom teeth, two of which were impacted and deep inside my gums. He warned me that I may have swelling and bruising as well as pain, but I was so surprised and happy that I recovered so quickly and without pain. The front desk ladies are also very friendly and helpful. Very glad that I chose Dr. Kotikian for this procedure.
Dr Kotikian is a tooth extraction ninja! He removed three of my wisdom teeth. Two were impacted. I was very anxious about receiving the IV Sedation because Id never done it before. And I mean VERY anxious. His staff was calming and next thing I knew the procedure was over and I was on my way home. He gave me the perfect amount of sedation. No nausea or other side effects. After the procedure I had very little pain. I only took ibuprofen for about four days. I was (carefully) eating chicken after the 2nd day!Hes very professional and its obvious he is very skilled at doing these procedures. I would refer him to my friends and family!
DR.KOTIKIAN is THE BEST ORAL SURGEON! Able to get appointment right away for my daughters 4 impacted wisdom teeth to be extracted. He explained whats going to happen during,post surgery and what to expect. When we got home after 3-4 hours he did a follow up call to check on my daughter. My daughters recovery was fast and the outcome was excellent. She didnt even had any dry socket! If youre scared to have oral surgery, he is the BEST PERSON to see. Staff were helpful. THANKS A LOT!
I highly recommend Dr. Kotikian, he is a Medical Doctor and Dentist and I find his approach refreshing. He took his time to clearly explain his diagnosis and recommended course of action. His recommendation was much less invasive than what other dentists had recommended.The office was super convenient and right by the 134 on ramp so I was in and out to work much quicker than anticipated.
Best wisdom tooth extraction removal experience imaginable. Significant bleeding stopped after 2 or 3 gauze changes; discomfort was very mild and subsided to a point at which painkillers were no longer necessary the morning after the procedure. Stitches disappeared a week later. Sockets still present (2 weeks) as expected but produce no problems with post-meal cleaning. Doctor is very skilled and helpful.
I called this place today to make an appointment for my wife. Her condition was really bad so, I had to speak for her. The lady who answered the phone was super rude. She asked what was my insurance. Once I told her what was my insurance, which was not Medical, she seemed like not accepting my answer. She said ask my insurance to fax the authorization to them. Even I told her I could bring it to her on my appointment day, she rejected it very rudely. Was it patients job to get their information verified for the doctor? Finally, I had to file a grievance and get a new authorization for a new doctor. This not place of a medical doctor but a place of typical business minded pile of junk.reply to owner: ****The lady who answered the phone didnt ask me enough information to verify the authorization by herself, in fact she asked me to get it faxed for her. It was very lazy and also the way she answered the phone was very rude. If she asked it as a help, I would do it without any hesitation at all. Can you order a patient to do a work for you? You should understand we call you to get your service but not to serve you.
Great experience got all wisdom tooth extracted. I was so afraid of the whole process, but everyone made me feel comfortable specially Dr Kotikian he is the best!!! . Im so glad I found this guys. Everyone is friendly and caring . I will deffenetly recommend this place.
The wisdom teeth extraction went well, I have little pain the following day. However the reason I am giving a 3 is because after my procedure I was walked to a area that was really a hallway and just left. No one told me that they would be back...no one got my boyfriend to sit and wait with me like I’d asked. I was mentally fully awake but my body was slow so couldn’t get anyone’s attention. I felt ignored so I decided the only way to get attention was stand up because that would finally get their attention and something I knew they didn’t want me to do yet. But it worked. Someone I’d never seen before got my boyfriend from the waiting room, she quickly showed home how to fold my gauzes and we were basically shoved out the back door...we were never asked if we waited to wait for a bit longer. It’s not cool that I....the person who had just been sedated... should have to get the attention of the staff. Felt used after everything was done and I was trash after...just something to ignore and get rid of. Not great.
This was my first time going to Dr. Kotikian, and the minute I met him during my consultation to review the removal of my wisdom teeth, I knew he was a wonderful doctor. That proved to be true post surgery, as everything went just as he explained. He is a very honest doctor, and handles everything with great care. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of wisdom teeth removal, or any other form of surgery regarding his practice.
Dr. Kotikian made the process of getting my wisdom teeth removed extremely easy and painless. I definitely recommend him.
Dr. Kotikian took out my wisdom teeth. I was very nervous about the procedure, but his calm, confident and kind demeanor put me at ease. He put me to sleep without any complications. I couldnt believe how quickly the procedure was over. My recovery was smooth and Dr. Kotikian even called me the evening after the surgery to see how I was doing and to answer all my questions. I have referred all my family and friends to him.
Dr. Kotikian is the finest model of professional healthcare. I have worked in healthcare for over thirty years and he is by far the best! My husband got into a serious bicycle accident which required extensive surgery resulting in nineteen screws and three metal plates and mesh to repair. He was very lucky to be referred by the ER at St Joseph Providence in Burbank to Dr. Kotikian. From start to finish he was the most kind caring and competent individual. All of his office staff are the same as well. How lucky we were to be treated by such a wonderful man. Thank you!
My daughter had oral surgery to remove 4 wisdom teeth...Dr. Kotikian is very professional, thorough and caring! The office staff very courteous and professional as well.Thank you Dr. Kotikian and staff!
Dr. Kotikian and his wonderful staff made my tooth extraction a pleasant and quick experience. He is my favorite dentist (to say the least) by FAR, and I have three other dentists and a long history of dental work. The quality of his dental work is seriously amazing. Dr. Kotikian is always very sincere, friendly, and he is very caring and passionate about what he does to improve his patients teeth!
Dr. kotikian explained my procedure step by step and the procedure was painless. He gave me a call later in the evening to check if I had any pain.The staff was very professional, and the office was clean.I will definitely go back to see him in the future.Thank you
I was new patient to Dr. Kotikians office and I recently got all four of my wisdom teeth pulled by him and the surgey went great. He explained everything that he was going to do for the procedure and I felt very comfortable and trusted him. Since my bottom wisdom teeth were very deep and close to nerves he did tell me the precautions that could happen, but I did trust him and everything went great! Hes an awesome Dr. and he did tell me if I had any questions after my procedure that I could call him in his personal phone. I am glad that I went to him because he is a great Oral Surgeon.
The entire staff and Dr. Kotikian were all very attentive and caring about my needs. I could not have asked for a better person to have taken out my extremely impacted wisdom teeth. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends.
The experience was not as stressful as I imagined. I went in for my wisdom teeth extraction and all 3 appointments I had went along smoothly.
Dr. Kotikian is very knowledgeable and gentle. Made pulling 4 wisdom teeth a breeze. Highly recommended!
I was really freaked out about the whole thing of getting all 4 wisdom teeth removed but once I went in Dr. Kotikian made me feel comfortable about the whole thing. I was put to sleep and once I woke everything was done. I had little pain, I would definitely recommend him.
I was recently treated by Dr. Kotikian for my wisdom. I honestly thought it was going to be a worst experience but it turned out to be great. I didnt feel anything it all went exactly as he said, he put me to sleep and woke up and it was over. I wasnt that swollen as i expected which was a plus. I wouldnt hesitant to recommend him to anyone.
The dr. gave us the price of 1500.00 for the surgery but took 2000.00 out of our card without giving my mom which doesnt know english a notice and now he is denying that he told us it was 1500.00.
Dr. Kotikian, best oral surgeon. He did a really good job on removing my 4 wisdom teeth without me feeling any pain at all. It was a good thing after I got my wisdom teeth removed, I didnt feel no pain afterwards. I also had no swollenness on my face, thank God! Most other people that got their wisdom removed got their faces swollen. But luckily I didnt get that on my face. I love that doctor. I would recommend this doctor to my friends who need to have their wisdom teeth off. Hes fast, good, and sufficient. well done!
I was referred to Dr. Kotikian by my primary dentist for four wisdom teeth extractions and the one thing I have to say is that it went as perfectly as possible. I was able to make an appointment same day, was comforted by his comments and explanations with any of my concerns, and was delighted when I received a follow up call. I have never had a doctor show such genuine concern and compassion for his patients post surgery. I heard horror stories from peers about wisdom teeth extractions, but I can honestly say that at Dr. Kotikians office there were none. He is extremely talented and I could not recommend a better doctor for this procedure. As with any tooth removal, there was pain afterwards but nothing that medicine couldnt resolve. I am very pleased with how the sockets healed and even happier with my experience at his office. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I typically hate going to the dentist, but with Dr. Armond, getting my wisdom teeth out went as smooth as possible. Thanks again!
Dr. Kotikian is the best surgical dentist I have ever met. I am very thankful for my dentist, Dr. Alenoush Bagdasaryan, for referring me to this surgical dentist. I was experiencing an awful toothache, which turned to be a wisdom tooth with crooked root and an infected cavity. It needed to be extracted by a surgical dentist only. On 12/21/2015 a very friendly office receptionist Ani kindly squeezed me into their busy Monday schedule as an emergency patient. The wait was short. The office was clean, neat and high-tech equipped. It took some 5 minutes for Dr. Kotikian to identify my pain source. He explained the problem caused by the damaged wisdom tooth and recommended the extraction. The process was quick and painless. The healing was amazingly smooth. I took a pain-killer just once the day that tooth was extracted. I was in great hands of a knowledgeable and proffessional Dental Surgeon. Highly recommend Dr. Armond Kotikian to anyone who has a need to see a Surgical Dentist.
When it comes to anything with teeth I am a hugeeee baby! When I walked into Dr. Kotikians office all the staff were friendly. When I met Dr. Kotikian I was so surprised. He was so understanding informative and kind. I loved how he made you feel comfortable and cracked jokes most of the time. I dont know about you but that actually calms me down. I am so happy with my results. I, myself didnt swell at all. The pain wasnt so bad. He even left me a voicemail informing me of everything that will happen after the surgery and what I should expect. I am very happy with my decision to get my Wisdoms removed by Dr. Kotikian! THANK YOU!! *dont use a blender when you get home right after your surgery* HAHA (inside joke)
No pain ....
