Babak Mikhak DDS

On Saturday April 16, a tooth broke off my upper bridge and I had a big hole in the
front of my mouth. On the same day, the office staff made an emergency appointment
for me. Dr. Mikhak treated me with the kindness and friendliness I wouldn’t accept as
a first time patient. He explained that a repair to a bridge would be most effective being
sent to an outside lab, but that none were open on Saturday. That didn’t stop him from
trying to help me. He went to his own lab and did the repair himself. As I had appointments
that night and on Monday morning, it made a big difference for me.
It’s rare to find someone as professional as Dr. Mikhak. I would recommend him highly.

Dr. Babak and Affinity Dental Group is by far the best dentist I have been to. Dr. Babak is very patient, kind, and respectful. Dr. Babak explains everything to you before he does any work. While he’s cleaning he’s making sure everything is ok and that you feel fine. Dr. Babak does an excellent job in cleaning teeth. The staff who works at Affinity Dental Group is really nice and they all do a great job. The office is very clean and nice looking. I really hope Dr. Babak is always my dentist.

I have had a very good experience with Dr. Mikhak. He is friendly, knowledgeable and extremely patient in terms of explaining the biology behind his treatment. He is also conservative in that, when possible, he’ll start with a less-​invasive procedure — just to see if it will work — before pursuing a more invasive, and more expensive, procedure.
Plus, the folks working in his office are extremely helpful in terms of coordinating insurance, scheduling appointments that work for my schedule, etc. And, parking is easy, and he has Saturday hours.
Let’s be honest — nobody likes going to the dentist (no offense, dentists). But if you have to go, I recommend going to see Dr. Mikhak.

Dr Babak and his staff are very polite, honest, and effective. I’ve been going to this office for at least a couple of years and they’ve been consistent. Will continue to visit this office despite moving out of the neighborhood.

Dr. Mikhak is a wonderful dentist. I had to have fillings done today, and he walked me through the whole procedure, which put me at ease. Fillings are never a picnic in the park, but Dr. Mikhak is very knowledgable and efficient, so the procedure was less stressful than I anticipated! And my fillings look good, too. I can hardly tell that they are there! The office is modern and clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Thank you!

Let me start with, I’m a difficult patient. I get anxiety the second I sit down in that chair! Not exaggerating. Due to insurance changes, I needed to find a new dentist. How in the world was I going to find someone who would be patient with me, has a gentle hand but yet quick and efficient… After some research and realizing he was just down the street, I decided to give Dr. Mikhak a shot. Scheduling was a breeze and they have a flexible schedule– that’s already a plus for me. I found what I was looking for. He put me at ease, kept me calm and would tell me the progress throughout my procedure — you don’t know how great it feels to know your half way done! Lol. Overall, very pleased. Location is great, good hours (some Saturday appts), gentle hand and good looking dentist… What else can I ask for?!

I don’t take it lightly that I’m leaving this review. Everyone makes mistakes and I don’t believe in interfering with their business based on that. I see lots of 5 star reviews so I know people like this doctor, but I had an experience I must warn you about.
Dr. M was very nice and seemed attentive. I liked the guy. I went here instead of my former guy because A) Dr. M got me in right away when my other place had a 6 week wait, and B) He’s closer to my house.
The most striking problem was that he told me I had 7 cavities. I’ve never even had one full cavity, so I decided to get a second opinion. I went to my trusted dentist (who got me in right away when he heard I thought I had 7 cavities) and he told me I only had ONE cavity. I couldn’t believe the discrepancy. I didn’t know who to believe, but my dentist of many years said my teeth just have deep grooves and some stains, and certainly not 7 cavities. He poked around my teeth and even had his assistant poke around in there just to make sure, and they both confirmed my teeth are in really good shape. I kept asking them if they were sure because that seemed crazy to me. I don’t want to believe that Dr. M was either being dishonest or was just so wrong. Certainly my other dentist must be mistaken. Alas, I had the whole office in there talking to me, scraping my teeth, looking at x-​rays, and just bewildered that someone would tell me that. Now… it turns out my one cavity ended up being a root canal. When I went to the endodontic treatment, asked him to check my teeth and the suspicious 6 other cavities. He also confirmed I had only this one cavity, and that my other old filling could be replaced if I wanted, but not urgently; that it had just worn down a bit. (I had the beginning of a cavity 10 years ago, but not a full cavity. The guy filled it so it wouldn’t get worse. Didn’t even have to numb me.)
The less disturbing problem (but still a problem) was the office staff was so disorganized.
A) The younger receptionist was scolding the older woman working there in a very disrespectful manner over something small. B) The first time I visited, they ended up being too busy to see me so they rescheduled me. C.) They were running around like crazy BOTH times I visited, seeming to be in a panic, and just maybe not having enough help on hand. The girl would get up from talking to me, look for something to give the doctor, come back and sit for a second, interrupt me to answer the phone, and so on. D) No one was at the front desk to greet me when I arrived. I waited almost 10 minutes before anyone came up and greeted me. I could hear them back there working so I waited, but it was weird. I felt uncomfortable. These things occurred first, so when he gave me the extraordinary diagnosis, I decided to seek another opinion.
Also, they told me they would call me with the price of my fillings before my appointment. No one ever called. I called to cancel the day before my appointment as my gut told me nothing about this experience was right.

Dr. Mikhak is a consummate professional with an attention to detail that is unmatched. He took care of our family’s major dental emergencies in an efficient and timely manner. Dr. Mikhak matches technical skills with the ability to communicate effectively with his patients. I recommend him thoroughly.

Dr Mikhak is a great dentist. He’s friendly and always spends the time to explain to you every procedures that he will do. He makes sure you are comfortable before he proceeds. The place is super clean and very modern. The staffs are friendly and nice.

He is one of the best dentists I have ever seen. I highly recommend Dr. Babak Mikhak.

Babak Mikhak is the best dentist ever. I have been going to him for about 9 years now and he is professional and good looking!!! Tee Hee. His assistant Yee is awesome also, she explains everything and very knowledgable. I have referred him to friends and family that go see him also. Thank you Doc, you rock!

The best dentist in town. Dr. knows what he is doing, considers pain, and more importantly, he tells you WHY he is doing it. I would recommend him and his whole office 10xs over! Best in Los Angeles!

Recently had dental work done at Dr. Mikhak office and I’m very pleased with the dentist’s knowledge and professionalism. I was treated with the upmost respect and his dental staff is awesome! The staff was professional and took their time to find out everything in regards to my insurance and fully explain coverage. I’m beyond satisfied and pleased plus since I was getting major dental work done I never once felt pain they made me feel good about going to the dentist again. The dentist took his time to explain the procedure and was gentle while working on my teeth. I highly recommend this office and never once have I received bad service this dentist and his staff care about their patients.

I don’t like going to the dentist. Needles are no friends of mine. BUT BABAK is AWESOME! Yee… The best assistant in the world! If you go to this office be child or adult you will come out happy. You will be comforted and taken care of with respect and love. Myself and my daughter are referring EVERYONE that needs a dentist to go to Babak. He’s dedicated to helping your oral needs while making you feel like you are not in a chamber of pain. I Love Babak and Yee.
2 thumbs up 50 gold stars and the golden dentist chair goes to this dentist

I needed a lot of work done on my teeth and it was difficult to choose the right dentist, but I’m happy I ended up in Dr. Babak Mikhaks office for one last evaluation. It was his compassion that allowed me to pick him as my dentist. He answered all my question and concerns. Even though I still need braces, I definitely feel a lot more confident and I’m happy with his work. I totally recommend Mikhak, you can tell he loves his job and is extremely knowledgeable.

I’ve been going to Dr. Mikhak for dental procedures ranging from whitening to pretty major for at least four years now, and he is absolutely the best dentist I’ve ever had the, um, er, pleasure of having treat me. It’s still dentistry, and that doesn’t make it a peak experience, but Dr. Mikhak makes it as good as it can be.
I first saw him for a basic whitening. His office was then pretty self-​contained, as it is now. Dr. Mikhak and his assistant. I came back for a cleaning, and then for another cleaning, and then to get a cavity or two filled, and then regular cleanings. He was gentle, personable, and remembered to ask about my kid and my work.
Then, today, I had a pretty major procedure that in another circumstance could be quite painful. (It was my first visit to his new office in Woodland Hills. Before, he was in Reseda.) He made sure that i was sufficiently numbed, apologized in advance for anything he did that might be at all uncomfortable, and did the work with — dare I say it for a dentist? — compassion.
He’s got a different assistant now from when I started out, but the office has the same feel. It’s a great place to go if you have to go there. I’m in Delta Dental for insurance, and he bills them directly.
Huzzah! If you’re looking for a dentist in the SFV? This is your guy. His new office is right off the 101 near Desoto in Woodland Hills.
