Jovicich A Thomas DMD

I had a bad reaction to some fillings and was in intense pain for a couple months. My dentist couldn’t figure it out, as my root wasn’t infected and the pain was difficult to locate. I had the filling redone to no avail. I was on so many painkillers and miserable all the time. He finally suggested I see an endodontist for a diagnosis.
My coworker recommended Dr. Jovocich because she had had a root canal from him before and knew he was reliable and in our insurance network.
I wasn’t able to get in until the week before I was taking a big vacation to Hawaii that I had been planning for months. All I could think was how upsetting it would be to be in horrible pain for my trip after looking forward to it for so long.
Dr. Jovocich ran some tests on my back few teeth, trying to localize the pain. Like my dentist, he was having a hard time getting a «for-​sure» answer on which tooth it was, so he devised a diagnosis plan with me. He gave me some things to do on my own at home over the next few days — ice tests, heat tests, tap tests — to log and come back to him with. He actually gave me solutions on how to locate my pain instead of just shrugging it off. He told me to call him after the weekend and they would find a way to squeeze me in before my vacation.
I came back the day before my vacation and was pretty sure I had nailed down which tooth it was. He ran the tests himself, and agreed that it was my back molar responding strongly this time. He talked it through with me, and we decided on a root canal. I was nervous, and he was patient with me and even indulged me in my request for an extra numbing shot due to my fears of dentistry. He started the procedure right away, and as soon as he got in, he confirmed that my pulp was extremely inflamed and that was the reason for the pain. Even though it wasn’t scheduled, he never made me feel rushed and I really felt he cared about my pain and treating me before my trip. I was so relieved to have someone actually listen to me and confirm that I wasn’t going crazy — I really DID have a source to my pain and that source was treatable! For those of you experiencing mysterious pain — it’s NOT in your head, and Dr. Jovocich will listen.
Let me tell you, the difference was INSTANT. I hadn’t felt truly pain-​free in a long time and as soon as I left his office I felt great! The pain never returned.
I had a wonderful vacation and returned to his office to finish up the root canal afterwards, smiling because I was pain-​free!
Thanks to Dr. Jovocich and his great staff for listening to me and working to fit me in to treat this problem. To say I appreciate it is an understatement.

THE MOST AWESOME dental visits I’ve ever had. I came in for a root canal and there was no pain, he and his assistant were so nice. They were patient with me, made me laugh, worked out a payment plan with me and there was even cool music playing during the procedure. I love this place and I highly recommend it to anyone!!!

I personally really like this doctor. His office is immaculate, his staff is probably one of the more friendly I have encountered, and I have had zero difficulties in scheduling an appointment. In fact, they do their best to squeeze you in if you are having issues with a tooth.
Dr. Jovicich came highly recommended to me by Dr. Rossi, who is absolutely the BEST dentist I have ever been to. I trust Dr. Rossi, and he did not lead me wrong in coming to this dentist. Dr. J treated TWO of my root canals and is currently redoing a botched root canal (by another root canal specialist).

Prior to going into the office I called and asked for all the rates they gave me all the info I needed. Saw Dr. Jovicich for the first time yesterday he was highly recommended by my boss Jody Sherman as she only goes to the best doctors in LA. His office staff was very friendly & sweet. When I met Dr. Jovicich he’s was very kind, cute & funny. He was honest & to the point. He took x-​rays printed everything out, highlighted the problems then he wrote on a piece of paper what I need to do about those problems & who I need to see. He made it so easy on me! I would definitely recommend him to any of my family & friends!

Where to begin? I have to say I am glad I had this experience with Thomas A. Jovicich and his staff because I would of regretted any procedure I would of allowed him to do .
Please let this serve as a warning to anyone who thinks of coming here
I called to make an appointment for a consultation. I had a failed root canal and my dentist whom I LOVE and trust completely told me to have Dr. Jovicich look at it. I called and gave them my dental insurance information and asked to have my benefits verified before hand so I would know how much I would pay out of pocket.
Well let me tell you Dr. Jovicich doesn’t work that way. His staff told me they DO NOT verify benefits ahead of time for any procedure so you have to go in blindly and get whatever work he thinks is necessary and then hope you don’t have to give up your house to pay for it. Secondly they are not in network with any provider …
RED FLAG
When any medical provider … Especially dentists … Don’t verify your insurance ahead of time, don’t want to tell you what to pay and are not in network with anyone, it is for one purpose only… TO TAKE ADVANTGE OF YOU. This way by law you are responsible for anything they charge once you have signed the paperwork and gotten the work and they tell you it’s your responsibility to find out yourself. In addition places like this like to be out of network so they don’t have to stick to any contracted fees or allowed amounts and charge you almost triple what they legally could .
RUN don’t walk away from this place
