Meridien Dental

Dr. Pham has been my dentist for several years. A graduate of the UCLA School of Dentistry, he does outstanding, meticulous work. He has a real aesthetic/​artistic sense and actively applies it to his dental work. Dr. Pham and the others in his office are very friendly, polite, professional and accommodating. I’m always comfortable there, not to mention having the choice to watch movies or listen to Pandora during a painless cleaning or procedure. It’s top notch place. Considering the complexities of insurance coverage in today’s environment, before my visit I confirm with the office exactly how much I will owe out of pocket. This has avoided any misunderstanding.

Dr Pham has been my dentist for about a year, and for the first time I don’t dread going to the dentist. He goes out of his way to make sure that you’re comfortable, and that you’re happy with how your teeth look. (And you get to watch Netflix with headphones the whole time, which is great if you hate the sound of the drills!) Best dentist experience I’ve ever had, highly recommended.

My first visit at Meridien Dental last week was a wonderful experience. I was greeted by a very friendly and helpful staff. The dental office is very clean and beautifully decorated with new ‘state of the art’, dental equipment. My appt. was with Dr. Sienna Palmer. She was very professional, efficient, and gentle with my teeth cleaning. Dr. Palmer was thorough reviewing my x-​rays and very patient addressing any concerns I had about my teeth. I have definitely decided to change our family dentist to Dr. Palmer at Meridien Dental because of the positive experience I received there.

What’s worse from my visits are the BILLING issues. Wish I could give zero star for this facility!
1) They said they would check with my insurance before the procedure if I had to pay any for my cleaning. I also did specifically asked them at my first visit. Since they required bite x rays and comprehensive evaluation before cleaning, it turned out that I owe $ 90. Where is the patient rights?
2) For my fillings their estimated amount was over, and I was overcharged. Even after the insurance claims have finalized, they aren’t giving me the difference that I overpaid minus insurance payment to them. ??? I do not understand this type of issue and have called, emailed them with the receipts and claims. The front desk person Renee said she would call me after following up with the dr, but she has never. And I am still waiting for her to call and send me my money back.
Be ware of this practice billing and make sure you aren’t being overcharged.

I made the mistake of trusting the administrators at Meridien Dental, who said they had checked with my insurance to make sure my work was partially covered. 6 months later I am being told that my claim was denied (for necessary work). Both the dentist and administrators repeated time and again that they always check with the insurer to make sure there are «no surprises». I’ve never felt quite so bait and switched. If you are looking for a new dentist, keep looking.

First visit here this morning and let me say I was impressed from the moment I walked in! The office is beautifully decorated with coffee and water available. The paperwork and check in was super fast and easy thanks to Melissa, and I went right in! No wait!
Dr. England and her assistant-​Stephanie, I think– were wonderful! But before I get to that… they have Roku available in the chair!!! So I watched orange is the new black while getting everything done! I mean seriously, it makes me want to go back just because of that!
Back to the visit itself-​Dr. England was super thorough and sweet. She had to break the bad news that after 15 years of only having one cavity, I had a few others I started crying which was super embarrassing but she was so nice and comforting about it-​she has a great bedside manner!
My teeth feel super clean and pretty and the visit was quick (super important for me), effective, and all around pleasant. I’m kinda looking forward to the deep cleaning going to get in the next month or so!!! Thanks ladies!

It’s a really nice office and everyone is friendly and attractive! The service was quick. I have pretty white teeth but one stained bicuspid (the other bicuspids are ok) and I bought the teeth Groupon hoping they could do something about it. Unfortunately, it’s still the same shade of yellow. Disappointed. But they couldn’t find out why for sure, other than to say come back and try again. No thanks. Aww, wasted my money :(

Have been going to Meridien Dental for a couple years now and have been very pleased with both Dr. Pham and Dr. Englund. I was one of those people that hadn’t been dentist in a very long time, so was expecting the worst and it turned out to be fairly pleasant experience.
I now go to the dentist like clockwork! Both doctors and all the support staff are friendly, easy to talk and very good at answering all my questions – which I had a lot of since I hadn’t been to dentist in a long time. They’re also very good about explaining what needs to be done, and what your insurance will cover. And the office is brand new and therefor in great shape and really pretty. Plus it’s close to my office and apartment, so I can walk to appointments.

I’ve been coming to Dr Pham since he first opened his practice about 3 years ago and could not recommend him with more enthusiasm. He always takes the time to explain everything to me, never pressures me for more work, gives honest and sincere advice, and overall has a pleasant and welcoming office environment with great front desk staff. He recently took on another doctor, Dr Englund, who is also a fantastic dentist. If you have UCLA’s insurance I would highly recommend that students take advantage of his services. They also do really affordable teeth whitening, carefully considering what level of whiteness you’re going for. Many thanks for making the dentist such a great experience!

I was referred to Dr. Pham through several friends; I must say this was a GREAT recommendation. Dr. Pham’s office is very clean, and offers a friendly + professional support staff. The overall experience was such a breeze, and in fact surprisingly pleasant. I would highly recommend Dr. Pham’s office to first-​time patients in need of a regular check-​up or dental work. The office has all modern imaging, and a TV for relaxation during cleaning Thank you!

First off let me just say that I never liked going to the dentist before. I have a ton of anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist so I spent a ton of time looking for the perfect dentist and I have definitely found him!
Dr. Pham is simply amazing! His staff are really great as well! They made me feel so comfortable and they always made sure that I was doing ok and not uncomfortable. The office is simply beautiful as well! They have all state of the art equipment and to top it off they have a tv in front of each chair so that you can watch a movie or listen to music while being worked on. They also have small chandeliers in the waiting room that are so pretty :)
I loved the fact that after calling to make an appointment the receptionist called me to let me know that I wouldn’t have to pay anything out of pocket and letting me know that they already verified everything with my insurance so that there wouldn’t be any issues. And did I mention that they got me an appointment for same day?! oh and that they are open on Saturdays as well.
I have to go back next week to get a deep cleaning and filling but I’m not dreading it for once.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! I feel like it couldn’t get any better!

This place was great. They made a same day appointment when I was having some tooth pain. The office is meticulously clean with updated equipment and a TV available for the patient during the teeth cleaning! Staff was friendly and courteous. Dr. Pham was also excellent in explaining everything he was doing. I actually had a great time going to the dentist and felt relaxed and very well treated.

We visited Dr. Pham for a second opinion regarding my three year old and her four cavities. I was also referred by another mom and had been told he was great with her child. Dr. Pham is beyond a great dentist, he was far better than the pediatric dentist who was recommending full anesthesia for my child. Dr. Pham took the time and effort to explain, show and worked with my THREE year old daughter. Never once did he have mom or dad get involved in the process. Dr. Pham has the patience and expertise to work with children. In return my daughter listened and allowed him to do what was needed to her teeth. Yes, she cried and refused to open her mouth at times but the fact that he was able to accomplish this without having a parent hold your child down is amazing!!! I cannot say the same for the other dentist, which I now realized they were not right for us. (And the other dentist used nitrous oxide gas, which I paid out of pocket!) I am convinced Dr. Pham is a professional and will go above and beyond to make sure you are treated as a superstar regardless of age. My daughter has to return for her last fillings but for her to agree to go back… I cannot ask for a better dentist than Dr. Pham.

I was recently referred to Dr. Pham through a friend. I was very pleasantly surprised in how I enjoyed my dental visit. The staff was very friendly and professional. Dr. Pham was very thorough and gentle. He was also knowledgeable and gave me great advices. I went into the appointment, thinking that I will need a couple of new crowns based on my other dentist’s suggestion. To my surprise, Dr. Pham told me that I should keep them as is since they were still in good condition. Unlike other dentists, he wasn’t trying to suggest things that I don’t need. Instead, he understood what I actually needed and cared about my wellbeing. I appreciate his honesty and professionalism.
Asides from the great service, the office is also beautiful. It feels more like a spa than a dental office with beverages, comfortable dental chair and TVs.

Dr Pham is an amazing person as well as dentist. He has a beautiful office with all the latest non invasive techniques and technology. He makes you feel so comfortable and is willing to listen and make recommendations for my teeth that I feel comfortable with. I highly recommend Dr Pham for your dental needs!

Dr. Pham was great! I’m one of those people who’s avoided the dentist for a few years. The truth is, I’ve always have had a lot of anxiety seeing the dentist and having a very difficult time being comfortable having work done in a chair. After 4 years of not seeing a dentist, Dr. Pham was ready to all my answer questions and help ease the anxiety. He really made me comfortable. To my surprise, the dental chair was more like a spa bed, and every station had its own hi-​tech setup. I was able to listen to my favorite Pandora station but also had the option to watch a movie on Netflix or Hulu, which was really awesome considering I was there for more than a few hrs. On top of that, his staff was warm and welcoming. When I first entered the office, I thought I walked through the wrong doors since it feels and looks like a spa. I would highly recommend Dr. Pham to anyone! Actually looking forward to my next visit. Thanks Dr. Pham!
