Rapid Smile Dental Group

So happy I switched to Dr. Youssefi. The office staff is so nice and helpful. The doctor really gave me good attention and time. I feel really happy to have found a good dentist in LA. The facility is clean. I didn’t have to wait long. I really felt taken care of. Great first experience.

Best dental care and maintenance I have ever found. Dr David is the best and his staff is awesome, communication is great they always confirm my appointment a few days day before. I have referred many family and friends to him for dental care and they always come away with great results. Once after a drill and fill my bite was off a bit and he kept me coming in to check to realign it, just awesome. I also need a gum scrapping specialist which he referred me to was amazing. This is the place for dental care

Dr Youssefi is so kind and patient. I took my daughter to him (about two years ago now) after her having countless traumatic experiences with her previous dentist. She was terrified of the dentist before meeting Dr Youssefi and his staff. Now, she LOVES visiting the dentist. There are no words for my profound appreciation for him and his staff. They are wonderful.
Additionally, he is HONEST! He doesn’t do work when it’s not needed — and he helps your children find comfort in visiting the dentist.
Love, love, love Dr Youssefi and his office staff! He is the only dentist we go to now!

Over 4 years on from my review below and David is the best dentist I have ever had take care of me.
He and his staff are an absolute 5 star, 9 years of excellent dentistry will be missed when I move away from California. I just hope to find a dentist as good as him when I moved to Texas.

One year ago, Dr. Youseffi did a root canal and crown for me. He did not place it correctly — resulting in serious decay on the remaining tooth. So, because my insurance only covers this kind of procedure 1x, I now am forced to pay $ 900 for another crown cleaning up his work. He’s nice, does the basic stuff well, but avoid any serious procedures.

Dr. Youssefi is a great dentist. He does solid, aesthetically pleasing work, has the ideal bedside manner and genuinely cares about his patients.
Also if you have ANY concerns about insurance, this is the place to go. Customer service is like nothing I’ve experienced from a dentist (or doctor for that matter); the receptionist gets in touch with your insurance company at the outset to find out exactly what your coverage/​benefits will get you and the whole office works with you, in a very transparent way, to get you the results you seek as cost effectively as possible. Good stuff!

I’ve been very happy with my experience here. Dr. Youseffi and his staff are very caring and accommodating. You can tell upon first meeting Dr. Youseffi that he’s genuinely a nice guy. He handles each dental procedure with great care and always makes sure you’re comfortable. He’s great. I highly recommend Rapid Smile.

Great dentist! Dr. Youssefi and his staff care, and it shows. On top of that, he is an excellent dentist. He was able to diagnose an ongoing problem with a previously root canaled molar of mine by only looking at the x-​ray. I hadn’t even told him about my issue and he nailed it. In my case, he was diligent and patient, and took the extra time to address each individual issue with my middle aged teeth, and explain everything in great detail.

I have had great experiences here at Rapid Smile Dental and Dr. Youseffi. In my opinion he is one of the best dentists I have been to, He is honest, friendly and understanding, He and his staff make sure to make everyone comfortable. I have referred many of my associates to him and they are all happy as well. I will continue to see him for my dental needs as long as I’m in Los Angeles.
I have nothing bu good to say about this office.
A++ from my perspective,

In my opinion, Dr. Youseffi is the worst dentist on the planet, his practice is deceptive and below standard of care. I have referred him to the Dental Board of California and they are already investigating his practice. His diagnosis was inaccurate and his treatment caused me to have lot lot bigger problems that many other specialists needed to intervene to fix. I think any body going to this dentist will put their health at risk.

I had a procedure done that put me over my insurance limit for the year, and I didn’t find out until afterwards when they called me and wanted the money the insurance wouldn’t give them. So now I’m short 250 bucks because someone didn’t double check my limit before they set up appointments for treatment. F*ck that.

Dr. David Yousseffi is the best dentist I have ever gone to and his staff is amazing! I have recommended him to all my friends and trust him completely with my chompers. If you’re looking for a new dentist he’s your guy, seriously.

I got tipped off to Dr. Youseffi from a friend, who had been a patient of his for a while. I was fresh off of a terrible dental experience and new to the area, so I needed a dentist who would be kind and really good at what he does. I went in for a check up and was so pleased with Dr. Youseffi. The staff was friendly and very helpful.
As a doctor, David was very kind and very informative. I never felt uncomfortable but was always informed. I saw David a few times for several procedures, and would easily recommend him to a friend in the future.
Parking in the facility is pretty expensive, so I would suggest parking on the street — that’s really the only downside, considering you can be there a while.

I cannot say enough good things about this office. I recommend them to everyone. Even if you’re not asking for a dentist, I will tell you, «Dr. David Yousseffi is awesome. You should go see him.» Then you would look blankly at me and I would shove his business card in your face. I don’t really do that but you catch my drift. He is a skilled, gentle dentist. He talked me down from my anxiety fits, be it about the cost or general dislike for dentists. I’ve gotten my teeth cleaned, my cavities filled. He even saved one of my teeth from having to be root canaled. Nobody likes to be root canaled. I thank my dentist; my tooth thanks him too. The only real drag is parking, but I’ve been lucky enough to find metered parking on one of the side streets the times I’ve gone to see them.

Not sure about some of the negative review here. It seems it’s not even an LA person who commented… I’ve been going to this dentist for a while now. What you see is exactly what you get. It is a clean, basic and efficient set up.
I made the switch from my overly expensive dentist over to this dentist who was much more fair on fees and he has some state of the art equipment. I like the safety standards. It’s digital xrays with instant gratification and the doc walks you right through the images and what’s up in your mouth within minutes! I don’t have radiation on me like before with the old fashioned ways and again, efficient.
Let’s talk about the dentist. He is FRIENDLY. This is a good start I would say. He is experienced and skillful. He takes his time to talk about what is going on, what your options are and educates you. Talk about nervous, I just filled 4 cavities three days ago. It’s a lot to know you’re sitting in a chair for hours and the guy on the other side knows what the hell he’s doing. He is organized (my virgo talking) and thorough. He effectively takes care of the task at hand and I know I’m in great care. What’s more, I got a call yesterday from the staff who was checking in on me to see how I was feeling.
So, the staff. Friendly. Do we really need anything else? When I walk in, I’m greeted, they know my name and they welcome me. I feel cared for and I know that is the environment of the office which is important for me as a patient.
I was referred to this dentist initially with some hesitation. But now, my boyfriend and I go as well as our friends that we’ve happily referred.
I’m planning to be a long term patient and hoping he doesn’t move! He has a cool view in Santa Monica as you’re getting zapped.

My friend told me about Dr. Youssefi about a year ½ ago and since then my health has gotten so much better. I love the doctor and his thoughtful and friendly staff. Although his office is a few blocks from the ocean, his prices are great. I highly recommend him.

Both my wife and I think Dr. Yousseffi and his staff are fantastic. A few years back I was recommended to him randomly by a friend of a friend. We were out at a bar one night and out of the blue he just announced, «hey, does anyone need a dentist? I just had the best experience with Rapid Smile.»
I did need a dentist and a few days later I tracked him down and set up an appointment. I was happy from the start. Their staff was great and Dr. Yousseffi himself was a pro. The facility is basic, no bells or whistles. It’s clean and nice. Plus, they take digital x-​rays in each room, and could show me what was wrong with my teeth within a matter of minutes.
I needed a lot of work done, and didn’t have insurance. Because I was paying cash, he gave me a break on some of the work and a few cavity fillings and a crown later, my teeth are back on track.
A few things to help set expectations. Dr. Yousseffi doesn’t sweet talk around your problems or costs. If you need a root canal (which I did), he tells you. If you need to floss more (which I do), he tells you. If a root canal costs $ 600, he tells you immediately (I don’t remember how much it cost — I do remember that the crown was the expensive part). Basically he doesn’t sugar coat any of it. It caught me off guard at first, but now I find it refreshing.
Also, the dentist is expensive enough as it is and so is parking on the medical lot. I’ve always found metered parking on the tiny street in between his building and the VW dealership. So bring quarters.
Finally, I had such a good experience with Dr. Yousseffi that I got my wife to go to him now too. She loves him. Especially after he fixed some horrible bonding work from her previous dentist.
I hope your experience can be as positive as mine.

I went here for my son’s first dentist appointment (just turned 3). I was very happy and so was he. We were in and out quick. Staff was helpful, and the dentist explained things well in a way that got my little one comfortable.

I found Dr Youssefi in Summer ’09 and I’ve had a lot of work done recently. Dr Youssefi is by far the nicest, gentlest and most competent dentist who’s ever worked on my teeth and I’ve recommended him to all my friends. He’s also very reasonable and works with you on prices, he’s definitely not trying to upsell any expensive or unnecessary treatments like Dr Partovy in Marina del Rey for example (the worst!). Dr Youssefi also squeezes you into his schedule if you have an emergency and the staff is super friendly. Not sure what this other reviewer was talking about with her negative x-​ray experience, cause the girl who took my x-​rays knows what she’s doing.
As far as my dental work is concerned, Dr Youssefi did an amazing job at restoring my teeth and I barely felt any pain

I have had bad teeth since I was young. 2 root canals, fillings in all of my back teeth. Since going to Youseffi… he has treated my teeth SO well that I have not had a filling redone in 3 years that I have been seeing him. He has reasonable cost and is always willing to go out of his way
