Barry K Weber, DDS

I had an emergency this evening and was unfortunately in a lot of pain. My fiancé called to see if they could take me earlier than my original appointment. They could! I went in and their son Christopher saw me within minutes! I have a huge fear of Dentists but I was in and out in less than an hour with a prescription for antibiotics and a referral for an oral surgeon. Thank you! I’ve found my new dentist and I’m eternally grateful for the hospitality given to me.

Do not use this dentist. To be kind, he «overreaches.» I initially came for a filling for a root canal as per the recommendation of the endodontist. The endodontist told me he worked carefully making only a small opening to preserve the original crown. I saw Dr. Weber because my other dentist had retired. Before I knew it, Dr. Weber was ordering multiple x rays (that I already had from the previous dentist), examining my entire mouth and what was suppose to be only a filling, became the need for a new crown. Okay, I didn’t question it and I foolishly trusted him, but I nonetheless insisted he wait until my insurance would cover some of this, since I thought it had reached its limit. They said they checked, and gave me an estimate that included insurance coverage. While doing the procedure, the crown now needed a post (remember I only came in for a filling as per the endodontist). I received a bill months later, of course, it did not include the insurance provided since it had reached its limit. So I was billed for a crown, post and whatever else. I believe Dr. Weber wants whatever work he can muster up and bill. I frankly doubt that I even needed a crown, let alone a post and whatever else. I too believe I was duped. Lesson learned.

Sorry more of the same. Said I needed a crown and I went for a second opinion to my old DDS. He ask who did the poor filling work then said there a slight crack on the outside of one tooth but in no way needed a crown. Nice guy through and great looking office. Maybe he is just very conservative with teeth.

Best dentist I’ve had. Drs. Barry and Susan Weber are both excellent dentists. I have seen both of them but I usually schedule with Dr. Susan Weber. She made a beautiful crown that looks just like my real teeth and also replaced my old silver fillings with composite material and now I have a beautiful smile again. As a child I had a bad experience with a dentist that filled 4 healthy teeth and I am so glad Dr. Weber resolved all of my dental issues. I have a regular cleanings and the hygienist always does a great job. Their staff is always friendly and it’s easy to schedule appointments. The office is beautiful and has easy parking.

Was a patient of Dr. Weber’s and felt his work was acceptable. Nothing special, acceptable. Called him earlier this week with an emergency problem… apparently the crown he sold me was disintegrating. Although the crown was about 10 years old, I felt the problem was an emergency. His receptionist was kind enough to tell me to go somewhere else (in other words) as Dr. Weber was booked for the foreseeable future. One would think that these «doctors» that take an oath to help their patients, would at least be there in an emergency — especially when their work failed. Not Dr. Weber. I’ll never go back there and will be sure to mention his «caring attitude toward his patients» to all my friends in Santa Clarita.

I have had my fair share of dentist throughout my adult life. Since I have major dental issues, I needed a dentist and an office staff who would treat me fair and with compassion. I have found that at Dr. Weber’s office. It’s amazing how much time he spends with his patients so if I have to wait at all, I know its because he will give me as much personal attention.
My smile is important to me and Dr. Weber (in partnership with Dr. Dean Lang) have given me back my smile.

No cavities for 13 years, go to Dr. Webber’s office and suddenly I have three, which upon my next visit turned into 6?
They have taken x-​rays upon all 3 visits I’ve had that were within a 6 month period. Is this necessary? No, it exposes me to brain tumor risks, and costs me a lot of money.
I’m switching dentists, I feel like I’ve been completely duped.

It had been a while since my last visit to a dentist, so I entered this exam a little apprehensive. Within minutes I was comfortable and knew I had found my new dentist. Dr. Weber is very relaxed, sporting a button-​down Hawaiin shirt and asking to be called «Barry». The dental assistant was upbeat and personable. The hygenists were a little rough, but it may have had to do with the fact it had been so long since my last cleaning. I immediatley came home and told my husband to cancel an upcoming appointment with another dentist and reschedule with Barry and his staff. I’m looking forward to my next appointment.

Had veneers replaced and the way he prepped my teeth completely destroyed my natural teeth-​all 8 of them on the top. Was painful with the drill. I cried in the chair after I saw my natural teeth. Didn’t have to be that way. One broke a week later and here we went again. $$$$
6 months later, his wife (Dr. Susan Webber) was digging deeply and yanking on a tooth and voila! She broke another one of the veneers but of course, I have to pay for it. $$$$ Then, Dr. Susan Webber stated I had a large cavity after my 3 month cleaning. No way! So I went to another dentist with Webber’s x-​rays and they took one x-​ray of the one tooth and NO cavity. I knew it! So I only go to Webber’s for teeth cleaning. Someone else can pay for their beautiful new office. He use to be a good dentist and she was nice also but again, someone has to pay for the new location.

Barry and Susan Weber, and also Dr. Conte, do excellent work. They are smart, compassionate, and they listen. My situation is complicated with higher than normal risk for infection and other issues stemming from being a cancer survivor and taking certain medications. Barry is knowledgeable about it and helped me take steps to protect me in ways others don’t need to pursue. He also received constructive feedback well when I expressed my displeasure about the way a staff member spoke to me. Gina and Laurie are outstanding assistants too. The front desk team is efficient and thorough. The hygienist that cleans my teeth is kind and gentle and remembered details about me from my last visit which impressed me.
UPDATE: Updating my review to remove a star because the billing department leaves a lot to be desired. I’ve asked 4 times now for an itemized bill reflecting only my charges to reconcile with insurance. However, I keep receiving statements that mix mine and my husband’s charges and credits. They send them to my husband’s attention (not mine) and we don’t even have the same insurance so there’s no reason to combine our statements — particularly since I’ve requested THREE times for them to separate them. I’m sure they’d like to get paid — they keep calling to ask me to pay it and I keep reminding them that I’d be happy to pay the bill if they’d simply provide me with a statement containing only my charges, credits, etc. Apparently that is just too much for their billing staff to handle.

Actually, if I could subtract that star, I would, and then some. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT be fooled by this ‘nice guy’!!!
Approximately four years ago he told me I had three cavities that needed to be addressed. I queried him about that assessment because my home dental hygiene is excellent and I don’t eat candy or chew gum. I surprisingly asked him, «What, I have cavities???»
He simply nodded and slyly said, «You do.» While he nodded in the affirmative, inside I was shaking my head no, I don’t.
It’s easy to be fooled by his casual attire and demeanor; it can make one feel like you’re dealing with a regular guy next door. The work he does do is good, BUT, I’ve got a mouth full of crowns that [in retrospect] probably were never needed, though well done! And, $ 1,000s of dollars later, out of pocket!
I went to another dentist about a year ago who told me I had no cavities, that my teeth were fine. My feeling about Barry Weber when he told me I had three cavities was right. Today I went to yet another dentist I carefully researched and chose, and again was told that I had no cavities.
Based on my experience with Dr. Weber, I would never consider going to him ever again; what a disappointment in the extreme.
Dentists take an oath similar to the oath a physician takes. Part of that oath is to «…do no harm…» Again, very disappointing. Unnecessary procedures are good for the dentist ($$$), not the patient.
