Called on Saturday morning to reschedule a Monday afternoon appointment. The person who answered said that would not be a problem, took my information, and said they will confirm availabiltiy for later in the week and call me back on Monday morning. On Monday morning, someone else from the office called and said they would be assessing a $75 penalty for cancelling/rescheduling within 24 hours. I told them that is not accurate, I called to reschedule Saturday morning (over 48hrs in advance) and the person I had spoke with did not mention any penalty -- but the new person responded by saying the weekend receptionist was not authorized to cancel/reschedule meetings, so they would be charging me anyway. Had I known there would be a $75 penalty, I would have tried to move my other conflict (as there was enough time to do so over 48hrs in advance) but by this time (1-2hrs before the appointment time) it was too late, so I had no choice but to pay the $75 fee. The quality dentistry is fine, but as a business practice, I found this to be totally frustrating and it really rubbed me the wrong way, so I am going back to my former dentist from now on -- just would have been nice to find a practice that I am happy with closer to home.

Dr. Ahdoot and Hugo are absolutely amazing. From the front office of Kelly and Susan to the dentists, this is the best dental experience I have ever had. Extremely professional, modern, and helpful. Dr. Ahdoot is a dentist who cares. + amazing pricing.

I am so pleased with my experience at Santa Monica Dental Care! My cleaning was super thorough and efficient. Dr Ahdoot takes such good care of me and my teeth. He is gentle, detail oriented and presents all options in a clear manner to make best choices for me.

I had another great experience. I was in the waiting room for about 5 min. Was taken for X-rays right away. The assistants were extremely helpful. Dr Ahdoot explained everything he was going to do thoroughly and spent time reviewing my dental history. He was straight to the point with the work I needed and had me on my way. It was the easiest and best dental experience I’ve ever had.

Dr. Ahdoot is hands down the best dentist. His office is beautiful, his service top notch, and his staff are very personable and welcoming. I had the pleasure of getting my Invisalign with him and the process was quick and smooth. Would recommend to all family and friends.
