First I want to say that I sincerely appreciate how thorough Dr Valery Sweeny’s office was with my care plan. There was a lot that needed to be done and we were able to jump right into it. Given how long it’d been since I’d been to the dentist, I prepared myself for some possible road blocks or complications. Unfortunately, there were a couple issues post op; I ended up with incredibly painful toothaches which I didn’t have before visiting, but I think it’s just that the work aggravated my previous root canal that needs a retreatment. Either way, Dr Sweeny’s office was quick to address

The entire staff is very welcoming... but not overly fake like they are exaggerating. Lol my old dentist office was like that but not this one. I love the experience. They always greet me by name as soon as I walk in. I really appreciate that they take the time to know each patient. It’s a safe and clean environment. Dr. Sweeney is the best! She is straight up and I love it! If any one asks me do you know a good dentist in silver lake? This is the only place that comes to mind.

Trust the one star reviews. My appointment was @ 8 am. The dentist pulled in the driveway @ 8:05 driving like someone running late. They conveniently wanted to reschedule, because they heard me sniffle. But the immediate urgency to reschedule is suspect. My temperature is normal. They took it twice. I work film production and I am tested 3 times a week. I was tested yesterday. My results were 'Not Detected'. I feel fine & they wasted my time.
My only other visit was a cleaning. I have Delta Dental. I went over the numbers with the receptionist before the procedure. I paid a $670

I had a really bad experience with Valery Sweeny as my dentist. She had been recommended by a friend of a friend, and her office was nearby where I lived, so I decided to give her a try.
I would like to preface my review by saying that I had not been to a dentist in over 6 years when I went to see her, so my teeth were not in great shape, and sudden pain that came on literally overnight is what drove me to seek her out.
During my first trip to her office, I had a similar experience as many other people expressed here, that I was being "up-sold" on a variety of dental work, but I was

The staff here are so kind. I have an anxiety disorder, and dentists are pretty stressful even without that. The staff made a point to ensure I was as comfortable as I could be, were excellent at handling my panic, very wonderful care.
Con, which wasn’t their fault, is there was a technical difficulty that caused my appt to be cut short and I have to go back…😫. Looking forward to giving 5 full stars afterwards.

I created a Yelp account to write this review!
My previous dentist -still- couldn't get me in for a cleaning due to the pandemic. Dr Sweeney's office was flexible with scheduling. I was nervous coming in because of previous reviews, but was totally proven wrong.
Parking was easy (private parking in Silver Lake? Come on).
I didn't have to wait more than a few minutes to be seen. Dr. Wolfe and staff were personable and friendly. They didn't try to upsell me anything like some other dentists do.
This was the gentlest cleaning I've ever had! I was shocked! Affordable self

I’ve been going here for a few years. I’ve recommended Dr. Sweeny’s office to my friends and family. Dr. Sweeny is very kind and compassionate. She always provided a variety of options for any treatment. Raye at the front desk, is awesome with scheduling questions. I just got a deep cleaning with one of her highly trained hygienists and she was amazing.

All I will say is make sure you get a second and third opinion on whatever they quote you in this office. I went in for a basic crown replacement and they quoted me $700. Went to a different dentist recommended by a friend and they quoted me $30 and this dentist specifically mentioned that the procedure recommended at Vallery Sweeney's office was overkill and unnecessary. It's really hard to find a trustworthy dentist in general, but I would be very weary about this office. They will see you as a customer as opposed to a patient.

Avoid this dental office at all costs! Tried Valery Sweeny after moving to LA recently. Dentist pressured me into dental fillings I didn't need. Work was sloppy and resulted in 2+ weeks of toothaches. Attempt to adjust fillings was unsuccessful and didn't resolve my tooth pain, the dentist seemed baffled by what could be the problem. Reading other reviews, it's clear I'm not the only one who's had a poor experience here. My wife and I will be finding a new dentist and we'll be following up with our insurance.

More like Dr. Valery SWINDLE. I just found out from my insurance that though this dental office is in network Dr. Sweeny has been billing me out of network rates. I've now paid about $1,700 out of pocket.
I should have read the reviews because in addition to that, I imagine I've just let her do work that probably didn't need to be done.
I'm disgusted and I want my money back.

I had a horrifying experience here. They told me I needed to spend over $2,000 on 7 fillings and a crown, when I have never had a cavity in my life. It felt off, so I went for a second opinion at a professional office and confirmed I have zero cavities (it was coffee staining) and no need for a crown (my veneer glue line is not a cavity). I feel their dental license should be questioned. I am grateful they did not con me into this scam and I hope this comment saves you from it too.

So I went here right after moving to LA as my first shot at getting a new dentist. I actually came in because my permanent retainer broke off one of my teeth and I decided to get the whole thing removed.
From the moment I sat in the chair she immediately tells me I have inflamed gums, small cavities, and need wear fillings on like 8 teeth in addition to needing my retainer out. Now I know what you're thinking, ok well you probably have a nasty mouth and desperately needed all of that, but nay nay. I've got wonderful teeth and before the move had seen the dentist for routine cleaning

Valery Sweeney DDS office tripled booked my appointment time and would not honor. But, really, this is also about the attitude I got when this happened.
So...
I was needing a dentist closer to home in Echo Park. I saw a few recommendations for this office on Nextdoor. I requested an appointment through their website. A nice lady called me back and set me up with one pretty quickly. She asked me on the call if I had insurance and I said I believed so, but I needed to find my card as I didn't have the info on me. I asked if I needed insurance? She said no and also no problem, we can confirm

I cannot believe this place is still in business without being sued for fraud because their practices are so blatantly unethical and greedy. I went in for an X-ray and cleaning and they ended up charging me $369 WITH insurance for my FIRST visit, then claimed I had over $2000 worth of work needed after that. I went home and looked up the codes they provided and discovered that she didn't even perform 2 of the procedures I was already charged for $190, and even if she had, I didn't need the procedures in the first place based off what I've researched online myself and what I&apos

Firstly it must be noted that Valery Sweeny DDS is a sweet and knowledgeable dentist whose work has been fantastic. The office is clean, modern and tidy. My beef is with the overall business model.
Quite frankly, they want your money and lots of it and go about getting it in sneaky, predatory and creepy ways. They use fear, intimidation and bullying through smiles to squeeze it out of you. With my last interaction I have been left with an overall feeling of sadness that has lingered.
After a cleaning (which they recommended every four months rather than the standard six) I was given a long laundry

DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST! In three words this dentist is incompetent, insecure, and arrogant. She gave my family and I two years of hell that ended up with two lost teeth that could have been saved and over $14,000 lost, wasted in her practice plus $18,000 to fix the problem she caused, and when she realized she was in deep trouble she offered $1,500 in exchange of a "release of liability" letter, which of course I didn't sign. If you value you time, money and peace of mind do not go here. This dentist caused so much emotional trauma that if anybody wants more details I am willing

DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST!!!! She will overcharge you and tell you that you need work that you don't need.
2 weeks ago she quoted me for work that would have cost $1000 after insurance. I got two outside consultations (one of them my uncle) and both dentists said that there is no need for any of the work and that my teeth were perfectly fine. She said my gums were receding and I needed fillings and a night guard. Both other dentists said that my teeth simply need to be monitored yearly for additional recession, but the condition was not serious enough to require any fillings yet and there

Valery and her team are incredible. They are personable, compassionate, professional and fair! Having been seen by Dr. Sweeny for a few years now, we have built a pretty good history which is super helpful and makes it easier to keep coming back.
Valery and her crew are great with kids too (mine mellow out somehow every time we've come. )
I'm in the office just about every week to swap out my Invisalign trays and I feel right at home. Being here has seriously encouraged me to keep up with my cleanings and check ups because once my trays are done, I won't see these wonderful women
