I had a horrible experience with Dr. Lina Musleh. After taking x-rays, she told me one of my molars with an existing crown had to be re-done. After numbing me, she drilled into the wrong tooth! She quickly apologized, told me it would be fine and that she would provide a free crown (on a perfectly good molar), then proceeded to drill into the correct tooth. After receiving the 2 crowns, I felt pain that wouldnt go away, and noticed both crowns didnt meet the gumline, and I came back twice because of the the pain. She told me they were both fine. I got a second opinion, and the second dentist actually called Lina Musleh to let her know the gaps between the crown and gums were too wide and bacteria was seeping inside. He called her with good intentions and was shocked at her reaction. He called her because he felt it was best to go back to Lina Musleh so I would not be charged again to re-do both crowns in his office. She refused! Well, to make a long story short, both molars now have unnecessary root canals, when these 2 teeth never hurt to begin with. Not only do I now have 2 root canals, but she also caused me to loose a molar because she drilled into the wrong molar to begin with. I have never been back since and was just disgusted by the treatment, lack of professionalism and refusal to correct the problem, after a second dentist confirmed the work was not done properly

Absolutely shameful and shady office. I initially came in due to a cracked tooth that needed a root canal and crown, before having any work done I requested a copy of the pricing for the exact procedure. At the bottom there a misc charge with no service code attached to it. I questioned them and the staff got defensive immediately, I called my insurance company to verify the charges and they confirmed that the misc "Lab Fee" of $250 should not have been charged and that was included under service code 02750 for the crown. Once I explained that the insurance company had confirmed that the Lab Fee was included. I asked them to call the insurance company which they refused to do so stating the Lab Fee was a charge that every dentist would have on the quote. After seeing a second dentist, they assured me that I was correct and that Dr. Muslehs office was just trying to add misc charges much like a mechanic would to make my procedure more profitable. Do not trust the pricing they give you as they will take advantage of you when given the opportunity. Ill be filing a complaint with my insurance company and be checking if any other laws have been broken.

I have been going to Dr. Lena Musleh for the past 16 years. Last Friday I woke up with a terrible toothache, but her office was closed until Monday. I realized her cellphone number was listed on her card and called her directly. She was very concerned and arranged to meet me at her office at 2:30 pm. She immediately realized I had developed a bad abcess and prescribed a strong antibiotic and said to return Monday for an x-ray. The antibiotic worked and by Monday I could at least touch my tooth. She is going to refer me to a specialist since I will need a root canal on a tooth which is connected to a permanent bridge. Her office worked tirelessly to make sure my insurance would help out with the expense. Thank you so much - the entire staff was caring and supportive! She is a special dentist.

My experience here is concerning. I have never had a cavity, and after going here for the first time, I was told that I had 9 cavities (!!) and was quoted over $1k for the expenses with CalOptima. I was embarrassed myself and shocked at the cost. My insurance changed shortly after and I had to switch to another dentist. I alerted this new office to my problem and they responded completely confused, telling me that my teeth looked great.

Small office, nice people, needs office to be updated and more modern interior renovations. Amicable dentist, nice X-ray technician, and helpful receptionists. Good prices. I look forward to seeing how the dental work will be done.
