Burbank Village Dentistry

Outstanding service! Dr Asatryan is very professional, knowledgable, and patient.
The staff is super friendly and caring. Especially Angelina :) She’s super sweet!
Great overall experience. I highly recommend this place!

I found this office through my insurance. Which I’ve learned now is a bad idea. Dentists that are recommended through your insurance are often getting paid less per procedure so need to do more procedures to make up the difference.
Dr. Asatryan is very nice, seems like a good guy and his staff were very professional and friendly. I went in just to get a mouth guard because my original dentist was quoting some outrageous price. I had JUST had a cleaning, x-​rays and everything three months prior. I was told then I had no cavities.
Dr. Asatryan then told me I had SEVEN cavities. He even showed me two on a little camera. I have never had a cavity in my life and could not have developed seven in three months. He told me my old dentist must of been a bad dentist. Then when the receptionist was checking on what insurance would cover, he came in and asked her «Guardian[insurance] doesn’t really check right?» she said no and he proceeded to offer to do the cavities for free and just charge for the mouth guard. Well, that’s fishy… He’d be getting paid by the insurance company to unnecessarily drill into my mouth. What a deal!
Six months later I went to Dr. Jennifer Park-​Cruz, who I could not recommend more BTW, she’s AMAZING. She looked at my teeth for a long time and surprise! No cavities. The two that he showed me on the camera are just deep grooves that probably will be cavities in the future since they’ll be hard to clean but she poked the hell out of them and said they aren’t cavities yet.
Please don’t go to Dr. Asatryan. He might be super nice but this place is scammy as hell.

After having gone through some serious dental treatments in 2013 and two extremely disappointingly bad experiences and attempt to get ripped off double billing and collecting by those offices, I had the good fortune to find Dr. Asatryan and his staff. Third time of switching was indeed the charm here.
Dr. M, as I call him is prompt, very kind and gentle and explains everything precisely. He gave me options as to what is more urgent than other so I could formulate a plan. Outstanding, truly. No consultation meetings with managers to shove a few thousand dollars worth of treatment in your face, that you «need». And no guilt trippin’ on lack of hygienic care and/​or smoking… thank you!
Angelina, Angela and Erica are his assistants and truly ultimate professionals, patient and kind. As a Career Counselor I know how hard it is to find caring, well communicating staff members to build and keep a well functioning practice, and Dr. M is a lucky man to have found these women for his business.
There is a happy atmosphere at this office which reflects the professionalism and respect in which people treat each other. I am beyond happy to have found this place and can (and will) recommend it to everybody.
Almost forgot: Of course, the work is outstanding. No pain whatsoever and a temp that stayed put until replaced with the, absolutely perfectly fitting, the first time, permanent.
Costs explained to a T (every time I inquired) and with incredible patience. I like the fact that this office is not packed and people spent time on their individual clients… and I am an HMO insurance carrying client… It makes no difference. Couldn’t be more content with my dentist. Thank you Dr. M and staff for restoring my faith in dentistry!

As a person with a Autism I was very nervous about going to the dentist and getting my wisdom teeth removed! The staff at Dr. Andrea Eliasian are very supportive and understanding. After my dental extractions I was so surprised about how easy it was, and it was nothing like I feared. I am looking forwards to my next dental appointment, thanks!

I can start by saying extremely professional.
The reception the manager the assistant Are extremely sweet very helpful very patient very nice. The doctor it is extremely helpful very nice gentle he is not a thief and hid prices are extremely reasonable he explains everything to you I love that he took the time to describe every x-​ray and tell me what’s going on inside my mouth not trying to sell me something that is not even there. He is very gentle with children very patient my son for being 6 he love this dental office and Dr. he has chosen them to be his primary dentist.
I will personally recommend this dental office to everyone.

I found this dentist through my insurance. It is an HMO dental insurance and Dr. Asatryan was «in network». The first red flag for me should have been «HMO dentist.»
However, I was new to the area and didn’t know any better.
Second red flag: it was in a strip mall, and lobby was completely empty. No other patients in the office.
The receptionist was friendly enough, but she was the only person in the office who spoke English as her first language. The «cleaning» was a joke. Seriously my teeth were sprayed with water and that was the «cleaning». They did take x-​rays with new technology… a panorama I think. That was probably the best thing about this office.
The doctor then comes in and tells me I need two fillings.
By then I already had a weird vibe from his staff and the office itself. It felt rrrreally shady to me. I declined to have him do the fillings (which he insisted I needed right away).
Because I got such a weird feeling from his office I made an appointment with my family dentist 2 hours away. I went to get copies of the x-​rays from Dr. Asatryan’s office and not only did they charge me $ 25 for x-​rays the other doctor couldn’t use, but Asatryan gave me the third degree about why I would seek a second opinion. SUPER BIG RED FLAG.
I have been to two other dentists since my visit with Dr. Asatryan in Jan of 2012 and both of them have said I have no fillings that need to be done.
I pay out of pocket for a PPO dentist now. They do a thorough job and don’t recommend work that their patient doesn’t need.
Thesis statement?
STAY AWAY.
This guy is shady and does not do a thorough job.
I would recommend PPO dentists, but if you have HMO, use someone else on their list of «in-​network» dentists.

I usually hate going to the dentist but I had the most pleasant experience today at Burbank Village Dentistry. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the friendly staff. She gave me the necessary paperwork to fill out and as soon as I was done, they called me back. I took some xrays and then Dr. Mher Asatryan came right in and explained to me what I needed to have done. After talking with him, he got right to work. It was by far the best dental experience I have ever had. The dentist is great and the staff was wonderful. After years of searching, I think I’ve finally found my dentist! :)

Great work, great doctors, reasonable price!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience here. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, attentive and helpful. We haven’t been to the dentist in like 10 years so the care and quality we received was unexpected.

If you get nervous going to a dentist this is the place that will give you peace. First impression is the best. Greated by the friendly staff and doctor as soon as you walk in and given a run down on what ONLY is needed.

I love Dr. Mher Asatryan and his staff. Everyone is so friendly and everytime that I go I never have any pain. 5 stars!

Dr Asatryan is a pleasure to work with with very up beat staff. Very happy.

Best office I have ever been to. Super nice staff and the doctor explained that I didn’t need as much work as the last told me.

I fell I need to write this to tell everyone what a great dentist is Dr Mike. I have never had such a good experience in dental office like I had in Burbank Village Dentistry Dr Mike is so gentle and caring. He explains everything he does. I didnt feel any pain during prosedure. Thank you Burbank Village Dentistry.

I had my 1^st visit at Burbank Village Dentistry on Thursday 02/​23/​2012 at 9am. I went for what you cover the teeth cleaning. I experienced the worst visit. When I first arrived at 9am I was the first and only customer, I filled out the paper work, then it took 50 minutes for me to wait because the dentist was not even there yet. I go to the dentist every year for a cleaning and check up, so I am familiar with how the cleaning routine is. I sat down and the Dentist came in and starting checking my teeth. He said I have 5 cavities. I had told him I have never had cavities in my life. He showed me the pictures he took. There was no decay, a slight discoloration. I said I do not see decay I don’t believe I have cavities I take excellent care of my teeth and I have never had any issues. I don’t think its very likely I can all of a sudden have 5 cavities in less then 12 months. Then he went back on what he said and said well they aren’t cavities yet but they well be.
Then what was the most dissapointing part of my visit was the annual teeth cleaning. THERE WAS NO TEETH CLEANING! It was a matter of 3 minutes of brushing over my teeth with tooth cleaner. I could not believe they would think that was a cleaning. They did not do individiual toothe scrapiing or brushing, NOTHING! They were so consumed of the fact that I needed fillings. I am so dissapointed in my visit. I would never recommend coming here!
