I want to give one star. But I love the children's dentist dr. G. She's amazing for and with kids. The hygienist and rest of the staff are really polite and nice. However, i was going here for myself as well and dr. Steve is money hungry. Maria who does finance is horrible as well. All of my in laws come here and who knows how much money they've mooched off of them. I got all my right side fillings re done. Because dr. Steve said it was a necessity. That the fillings I had were no longer used to do fillings. So his comments made it seem it was a health issue. I did what was recommended

Went there for a 1st root canal, they fixed it and prescribed antibiotics to stave off infection. 2nd root canal on other tooth, dentist didn't prescribe antibiotics this time. Found it a bit strange. Scheduled for a crown next week. 2 days later my tooth is in agony. I call to schedule an appointment asap, the lady at the front desk claims that my tooth is going through "trauma". Never heard that before ever so they put me off until I literally begged for another appointment, which they reluctantly finally agreed i needed another root canal done on the same tooth. They had the nerve to charge

I rate this place a solid 5 star because they are very quick. You don't hesitate in going because the most that I had to wait for my daughters appt for ortho was maybe 15 min.
They are very clean the staff is very polite and very flexible.
The appts are amazing they never make you wait weeks the hours of appts Start from 6:30am which can be very useful for us parents who have kids with busy sport schedules like myself.
When my daughter had her 6 teeth extractions they explained very well what was going to happen what to expect and how to prepare.
Can't express how happy I am with this

I am more than pleased with Gallatin Dental. Joanna Peterson recommended Dr. Steve - and wow, was she correct. Dr. Steve did an amazing job - I am not afraid to smile now! Trish does a great job cleaning, and everyone was wonderful - from the front office staff to the financial dealings - I had a great experience. THANK YOU all - I'll be back.

My family and I have been patients of Gallatin Dental for several years and the reason why I have stayed is that they earned my trust from the very beginning. A previous dentist was adamant that my two boys who were 10 and 12 (they are 22 and 23 now) at the time needed baby root canals. It just didn't feel right so I scheduled a visit with Gallatin Dental who confirmed my gut feeling. They had zero cavities and the dentist was surprised when I told them the previous dentist suggested baby root canals for both. The dentist went over the x-ray images to reassure me. Front desk staff is always

CONSIDER GOING ELSEWHERE!! Staff is rude and unprofessional in front of your kids. Dental offices are intimidating as it is for some children and for the staff to act this way is UNACCEPTABLE! Besides them being unprofessional, they forget to tell you about other charges until the day of your procedure. They constantly Cancel appointments without giving you a heads up. They must think it’s easy for people to get out of work and sit there for 20 minutes before bringing you to the back and telling you your appointments been cancelled. Oh and don’t be late! You will not be seen even if make it

Great things about this office: front office staff, Dr B, Dr G and Judy! In the last 2 years or so I have run into issues with how the office and finances are managed. I had to wait over an hour and 1/2 to be called in after I had to leave work early to grab the kids and get them to their appt on time. This should and could have been managed better. The newer Finances team (thinking post Mireya) has struggled. Immediately following her departure there was a marked difference re their response time and providing accurate info. Additionally, Not calling back, or providing opposite information

My family and I have gone to Gallatin Dental since I was just a kid, so they're near and dear to my heart! Staff are really friendly, and Judy is nothing short of amazing. She brings a personalized feeling to each appointment and is great at what she does! One of my brother's is autistic so the staff are aware and know what procedures to do just to get his teeth x-rayed and cleaned. Everyone's experiences are different, but I know that I will always and continue to come here!

I have been a patient of Gallatin dental for many years. Including two sisters and their family. I glad to say I will No Longer be going there. They have lost so many dentist and because of that treatments are not correctly competed. I had dual coverage for many years and as soon as it ended, so did the customer service. Not all the receptionist are rude..just some.
Maria the finance lady, yeah, what can I say, but again once the dual coverage was over, communication was no longer a priority and wanted to send my husbands bill to collections without talking to us first. Yeah its all about money

So rude! I called over the phone to ask for braces for my little sister and the lady hung up on me as soon as said Saturday wouldn't work for me. She didn't even try to see what day would fit my schedule and she left me talking to myself on the phone! If this is how you treat your customers over the phone, I wonder how you treat them in person.

Ok ! I thought long and hard if I should writer my review on Yelp.
Please, Please, Please do your research before you get veneer with Dr. Steve Aivazian.
I saw Dr. Steve Aivazian for consultation on veneers when he was in Encino office back in 2014. He took out his IPhone and showed me pictures of other cases he had done. Which I was very impressed. We discussed the price which ended up being $20.000.00.
Long story short, got the veneers done. The veneers were so bulky that I had to go back 3 time for Dr. Steve Aivazian to adjust them because it was giving me a terrible slurred speech.

Gallatin Dental Group takes great care of my family. From regular check ups to orthodontist work for my daughter. I have been coming for over two years and am very pleased with the work and recommendations from Dr. Steve.
I have also noticed that Gallatin Dental is very involved in the community - from community groups to local schools. Gallatin has great customer service and provides friendly reminders for appointments.
Keep up the great work!

The Good: I used to enjoy the care when the office was
