Clarisse Atakhanian, DDS

My ex-​husband was in a lot of pain and I called Dr. Claris Atakhanian and the office gave an appointment on the same day. The Dr. Stayed at her lunch hour and took care of him. He felt a lot better. It took a detailed surgery to take care of the matter. The dr. Was so patient. We thank you Dr. Claris Atakhaninan for the great care you gave us.

I found Clarisse on Unilocal because she had great reviews & had Unilocal deal. I will never go to a place with a Unilocal discount again!!!
At first when I came in Clarisse was very nice to me and gave me a great deal on my cleaning. After Clarisse examined my teeth, she said that I needed a deep cleaning and that I have one cavity. I said no problem, came to her the deep cleaning one day and anther day for the cavity. She did a great job on the deep cleaning, but while she was working on my cavity with my mouth numb, she notified me that there is another cavity. I asked her why it wasn’t on the xray, she said because it was hidden. I asked her how much it would cost me to do the 2^nd cavity, she gave me a figure which was double what the first cavity cost. I asked her if she can do it for the same price as the first one, she said no and that she hates when people negotiate with her. She said I will give me time to think about it, left me on the chair for 25 mins while she worked on her other patient in the other room and when she returned she asked me what my decision was. I told her it was to expensive, so she finished up my one cavity with a really bad attitude and didn’t give me closure on the finish of my dental work. I scheduled with another dentist immediately after, and he found no such cavity, What the Heck! BEWARE!!!

Dr Clarisse has been my dentist for over 2 years now. And I am very lucky to find a honest and perfectionist dentist.
I have had couple dentist in the past, they were horrible. They lied and over charged me and my insurance. Sad thing is I have to redo the work they did.
Dr Clarisse is very friendly and most of all very flexible with your schedule. If the job isn’t perfect she won’t let u leave. She takes her time with u and makes u feel like she cares. She keeps u entertained as she’s working on your teeth so your not bored.
I have been getting really good complements on my teeth by friends and family. I enjoy my teeth and ever since I have been coming here I don’t get teeth pain anymore.
Her prices are fair. Remember you get what you pay for.
I have a dentist for life thanks dr Clarisse

I found Clarisse through 1−800-dentist years ago and have been here ever since. I even convinced my husband to go to her, which was not an easy task. Even he’s been thrilled. I just went through the Invisalign treatments, which was a little pricey even with dual insurance, but worth it. She makes fillings almost pain free & tolerates me trying to keep my tongue out of her way, which I swear it has a brain of it’s own! I seem to lose control of it from fear of it getting right in the way & cut, poked, etc!!! I’ve had years of dental issues since getting chipped front teeth in about 1968– ish, so lots of dentists to compare through the years! Clarisse is tops!

We’ve been going to this dentist for several years. She is the best dentist we’ve ever had, and we switched dentists quite a few times before we found her. We have eight kids, so believe me, we are there a lot just for check-​ups. She is really great with kids. There is lots of parking, and the waiting room is really nice and comfortable. She doesn’t overbook so there are never loads of people in there like at some dentists, and works out her scheduling so you don’t have to wait long, if at all. She won’t get you to do any unnecessary work; when I first went to her, my previous (expensive and slow) dentist had insisted that I needed a crown replaced. Dr. Atakhanian checked, and said it was fine, no replacement needed at that time. That was four years ago. I still have it, and it’s still good. Most importantly, her actual dental work is excellent, but not only that, her office is well run and it’s just pleasant to go there. She’s also a really caring person, an honest person, and she’ll do what’s best for you, not what’s best for the insurance company or for her.

clarisse is a great dentist. she doesn’t hassle you about poor dental hygiene and doesn’t make you feel bad. after my cleaning, she just gave me suggestions on how to clean my mouth using hydrogen peroxide, which was very helpful. she also suggested invisalign, which i am currently considering. overall, i like her and will be seeing her again for my routine cleaning in 6 months.

Located on the 2^nd floor of a building in a parking lot (yea, you read that right), it gives the feeling that the building is a chop shop. But Dr. Atakhanian is the complete opposite.
She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. She makes every effort to save each and every tooth. Her work is important to her and she is almost a perfectionist which I appreciate because you know that you are getting great quality work. She is candid, in a professional and polite manner, with her patients about their care without sugar coating it.
Some may not like the fact that she is private practice and so she comes in for 10 – 15 min to work on you. Then she offers you a break so she can work on another patient but personally, I think it’s great. How many of us can keep our mouths open for 30 – 45 minutes for a cleaning? I appreciate the break to catch my breath, get a drink, rinse out, and back to the task at hand.
Her office offers flexible hours (open late on certain days, some weekends) that I usually schedule my visits in the evening after a full day of work. The receptionists are friendly in calling you a day early to remind me of appointments.
Prices: If you have no insurance, they are some of the most competitive out of pocket fees that you’ll find. I’ve been a patient for 6 years (2 without insurance) and it was great to pay cheap prices. Also, she works with patients to arrange financial assistance with a 3^rd party vendor.
