​I recently visited Dr. Kay for check up and I had a great experience, Nancy was the sweetest and warmest manager, Jozy and Eileen did a great job with X-ray and cleaning. ​Highlights of my visit: ​Staff & Atmosphere: The front desk staff was friendly and efficient, and the office was clean, modern, and welcoming. ​Care & Comfort: Dr. Kay and the hygienist were extremely thorough, gentle, and took the time to explain everything clearly. They made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure. ​Wait Time & Scheduling: Booking was easy, and I was seen right on time with minimal waiting. ​I highly recommend Dr. Kay and the team to anyone looking for professional and gentle dental care!

I cannot recommend Dr. K and his team enough. Beyond professional in every way, and provided truly wonderful care. I had gone to him for my long time concern of a gummy smile, but with hesitations of going through the extensive process of crown lengthening. After an informed discussion we decided on laser gingivectomy together as a method to provide the subtle results I was hoping for. Throughout the whole process him and his staff ensured my comfort level, and the end product is exactly what I was hoping for. I would recommend him to all friends and family, looking forward to more visits in the future.

After many years of avoiding dentists all together, I gave Dr. Kourosh a try in downtown LA. I received a deep clean for gum health along with a mouthguard to prevent teeth grinding. The cleaning was much less painful than what I'm used to. Everything was incredibly streamlined; my care was optimal and I never had to wait. The team was lovely and did a great job explaining everything. Over all a great vibe. My pearly whites are thankful! :D

I had an awesome experience at Smile LA. I fell from a rental scooter and got 2 of my front teeth knocked out. I called the office and they took me right in for a emergency operation. It was amazing! The office is in a beautiful location in DTLA. It is clean, quiet and inviting. Dr. K himself is very knowledgeable, patient, informative, and supportive. All the stuff members are incredibly friendly, professional and welcoming. They helped me to set up the next appointment and special payment plan. and Dr. K's technician were kind, delicate, and work quickly. This is the most pleasant dental experiences I've ever had! I highly recommend this office! Thank you guys so much!

Overjoyed to have found Dr. Kourosh and his incredible staff Brisi and Josie. They are always welcoming and attentive to my needs. Dr. Kourosh has taken care of not only me for several years but my mom and several friends. I had a few crowns put in earlier this year and the process was easy and results came out better than expected. He switched out all my silver fillings and taken care of my mouth with the most undivided care. My mom is getting full mouth reconstruction next month with him and I am confident in his ability to exceed all our expectations for the most important person in my life. Highly recommend such an incredible office.

I am genuinely shocked by the positive reviews of this place. I left in tears, and I would strongly caution anyone considering becoming a patient here. While the routine cleaning itself was fine, the overwhelming focus seemed to be on upselling unnecessary and expensive treatments rather than providing straightforward dental care. I felt as though my insecurities were being identified and used to pressure me into spending money. I have great teeth, yet I was told I should get veneers. I am young, have never had any significant dental issues, and have had exactly one cavity in my entire life. Despite this, I was told I should start coming in every four months. When I pointed out that my insurance would not cover these additional visits, I was met with the guilt-tripping response, “Insurance doesn’t care about your oral health.” That is an incredibly inappropriate and manipulative thing to say to a patient who is simply asking a reasonable question about coverage. My oral health has consistently been fine according to every other dentist I have seen, which makes this experience even more concerning. I later discussed my experience with a coworker, and he described nearly the exact same thing when he went here: pressure to come in every four months and constant attempts to sell him additional services despite having no history of dental problems. At some point, this stops feeling like preventative care and starts feeling like a sales pitch. Patients should be able to trust their dentist to prioritize their health, not feel pressured, manipulated, or made to feel insecure about their teeth to encourage them to spend more money. I left this office in tears, and I will not be returning. Based on my experience and the similar experience shared by my coworker, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a dentist who prioritizes patient care over profit.

Edit: 10/20/26 I'm pretty sure they were taking advantage of me financially. It became very expensive and I ended up spending hundreds at every visit, even for cleanings which should have been covered by insurance. Everyone is nice, for sure, but prepared to spend a bag. I'm seeking out other options. -- Nayib did my deep cleaning and was very considerate of my pain level (I'm a big baby at the dentist) and was very thorough. Much appreciated 😁 The front desk is very nice as well. Great place.

I was very afraid to come into the dentist because I knew I had a lot of work to do but the staff really took care of me. Even when I broke down they were patient and kind. Specifically Aylin who made space for me to do a cleaning and Nancy who held my hand and walked me through everything. I feel very taken care of and all my concerns were heard and respected.
