Saghi Parham, DDS

My wife and I have been coming here for cleanings for years. Dr. Parham is very friendly and the office staff is very helpful, polite and accommodating. Our cleanings have been done well and fast, and the appointments are coordinated very well by staff, right down to the insurance. A hygienist sometimes handles the cleaning if your appointment is between Tuesday through Thursday, and she is great, too.
I have had a porcelain filling done here as well as a cap, and a night guard made. All visits were easy and I’m happy with the work. I highly recommend Dr. Parham.

I’ve been going to Dr. Parham for about 10 years, and I highly recommend her! She & her staff are extremely professional, courteous and efficient. Her office is pristine and relaxing, and my appointments always start on time.

No one likes to go to the dentist, but going to Dr. Parham is about an enjoyable dental experience as one can have. Her office is so calm, the staff so nice and professional and Dr. Parham is so professional, kind, excellent, thorough, yet fast. They’re always on time, and everyone is very kind. I also trust her judgement completely, highly recommend.

This has definitely been as easy and enjoyable an experience one could hope for going to the dentist. Dr. Parham is very kind, considerate and professional. I have been going to this office about two years and I have never had to wait past my appointment time. I’m always in and out but never rushed. I’m very happy with the service and care thus far and will continue on Dr. Parham for all my dental needs. If you’re looking for a dentist go ahead and give Dr. Parham a shot.

Dr. Parham is the best. Always friendly, never pushes unneeded procedures and is always on time. The office is clean, the equipment is new, and if you need any work done you can count on it being perfect. I’ve been going to her for 4 years and would think of changing to anyone else!

I didn’t grow up in LA and don’t have a long term dentist here. Someone referred me to Dr Parham, and I thought that I’d give a shot. At first I was really happy to find a new dentist — cleaning was great, nice bedside manner, didn’t push too many extra services on me (although there were a few suggested). The trouble started when I left. Aggressive follow up, some of the time more than once a week– on my cellphone, office, email, etc. I think text too, but it’s been a while. Finally, I told them I wasn’t interested in coming back. Real turnoff.
Too much time went by, and I knew I was ready for a cleaning. Got a referral to someone else in Beverly Hills, and went to see them. They were great, but later I got a bill for X-​rays, because my previous dentist «couldn’t find them.» I called Parham’s office, and her receptionist (who was honestly very nice and not at fault) couldn’t find me in the system. Really? You guys stalked me for months. She also said that they don’t release dental records to other dentists because of HIPAA. I don’t know, maybe that’s true but I know that over the years, I’ve had it done before.
She called me back after checking with the doctor. The doctor said that they may have «closed the file» because I decided I didn’t want to come back. Wait — so you wouldn’t release them, couldn’t find them, or closed it out of spite?
I know that insurance benefits are my problem and don’t make the dentist’s life easier, because all they hear are complaints. But not being able to find a patient that was there within the last few years coupled with the aggressive follow up is enough for me to give a thumbs down.

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Parham and her practice. The entire staff are friendly and considerate and Dr. Parham is masterful at explaining any procedure she recommends. Most importantly my new implants look movie-​star spectacular! She’s hands-​down the best dentist and this is the best dental office I have ever been to.

Writing this because my insurance recently changed and I am no longer covered to see Dr. Parham. Going to a new office today made me realize this review was long overdue.
Dr. Parham and her staff are fabulous. The office is beautiful, clean, inviting. The staff is helpful and I have never sat in the waiting room longer than 20 seconds.
The dental assistant is gentle and kind and Dr. Parham is great. They have never pushed me to get unnecessary procedures or made me feel uncomfortable in any way. Dr. Parham examines my teeth after every cleaning.
I generally park a block away in the structure near Nosh and just walk over.
Positive experiences all around!

Dr. Parham was my dentist when I lived in LA. She is fabulous! I love her assistant too. The office is really nice and modern, really state of the art. You can see everything on a screen in front of you at your chair. Only complaint is that parking can be expensive in her building, so you should try and find parking in the public spots nearby.

She is wonderful! My first appt was yesterday, and she made an amazing impression on me! the office is nice, and the staff is super attentive. Dr. Parham is so sweet, super thorough, and took her time with really getting to know what was going on in my mouth. I go back for a cleaning and filling in a couple of weeks, but i am sure i will be just as happy!
the parking situation isn’t the best. I did 1 hour metered parking a couple blocks away, and had to go back half way through my appt to fill the meter. The building has parking downstairs, but i believe it’s $ 20.00. She is def worth finding another (less expensive) lot.

I have been long overdue for a deep cleaning and have great dental insurance, but just haven’t had any luck finding a good dentist in LA. I’ve been to 2 already… and they were both average and I thought hm, maybe Beverly Hills? Found Dr. Parham on Unilocal… read some amazing reviews… and scheduled.
In comparison to my original dentist in Orange County, I did not feel that my teeth or gums were thoroughly cleaned. Actually, my «deep cleaning» felt like less work than a regular cleaning with my old dentist. My appointment was at the end of her day and it was obvious that she rushed; she just picked around my gums and didn’t really clean into my gum pockets. Usually, after deep cleanings… my mouth is throbbing. like it almost hurts in a good, CLEAN way haha. With Dr. Parham, I felt nothing. Not even slightly cleaner.
Also, I was extremely dissatisfied with the amount I paid out of pocket. Some background: I also work in healthcare and have a problem with physicians/​providers who push more treatment onto their patients ESPECIALLY when it is not covered. She pushed an antibiotic treatment that I «severely» needed even though I told her I could not afford $ 200 treatment out of pocket. Her dental assistant offered a small discount and repeated my «need» for it so I fell into the pressure (I’m still mad at myself for this) and went along with it. This 30 second «treatment» basically consisted of her spraying medicine on my gums. Did I «need» that? Maybee… BUT ACTUALLY, what I really NEEEEEDED was a GOOD deep cleaning!
Unfortunately, the way most insurance works is they cover one deep cleaning every year. So damn it, I wasted mine on this one. I am hoping to contact my insurance to explain the situation and go from there.
Dr. Parham’s office doesn’t offer parking validation at their building. I parked across the street in residential (their street parking signs are super unclear) and got a ticket. Great. All for NOTHING.
Now, I am $ 200 short and in dying need of a GOOD deep cleaning… and I have a $ 120 parking ticket to pay for. I should’ve just drove to OC like I initially planned.
Anyone know any really good dentists in LA??? PLEASE help me out.

Dr. Parham is the best. I’ve never waited to see the dentist and they have very new equipment that makes the visit fast and effective. When they take your xrays, they automatically appear on the computer screen next to your chair, so there’s no waiting for an assistant to process and bring them in.
She explains everything thoroughly and answers everyone of your questions. I am always in and out in less than 45 minutes.

I have been going to Dr. Parham for about 3 years now and I can not begin to say how amazing of a professional she is. I’ve never written a review for any service, however the comfort, politness and warmth that Dr. Parham provides I had to share. I know live in the Hollywood Hills, several miles from her office but couldnt see risking my mouth and comfort with any other dentist; she is truley the best.

Dr Parham was amazing! I’m new to Los Angeles and needed a dentist so I turned to Unilocal.She had great reviews and was able to fit me in the next day! She was kind and explained everything she did as she was doing it. It was nice because I want just with the hygienist the entire time. She was knowledgable and friendly and I will definitely recommend her!
The only thing: parking in the building is silly expensive and they don’t validate in the office. So arrive with plenty of time to find some street parking in the surrounding area! Either 1 or 2 hour free street parking!

Dr. Parham is fantastic. The facility is immaculate and relaxing and her state of the art equipment made me realize that my old dentist is still operating his practice like it’s 1979.
Make an appointment! She’s great!

Dr. Parham is fantastic! She puts you at ease and is very good at what she does. The entire staff is friendly and knows their stuff.
Also, they are efficient and on-​time. I went in for a cleaning and glanced at the clock in my truck before going in. I got back in my truck 12 minutes later. That’s not a typo, TWELVE minutes! I couldn’t believe it but I loved it!
I’ve been raving about her since before Unilocal was around. Go see her! Your teeth will be happy and then you’ll smile! Then someone else will smile and then someone else and someone else…

Dr Parham is the best. She is gentle, caring, thoughtful, funny and extremely conscientious. I should have never strayed. But I did, I cheated, and I miss her now.
I left because she escalated some dental work I needed, and I asked some dentist friends, and they agreed it was a lot of work and I ended up going elsewhere for a filling that Dr Parham said originally was just a filling, but then a crown, root canal and than a crown extension was brought up as a maybe. I spooked. That is a lot of work. I do have a terribly messed up tooth, but… it is expensive, it is painful, it is time consuming. Why would I want Oral surgery when I could get a filling? Or to see an endodontist when 2 dentist friends said my roots were Ok? You can understand my conundrum maybe. But the thing is, I sat there getting a rough and ready filling and felt like the world’s biggest idiot. Dr Parham came in on her day off when my filling broke. She is beyond kind and SO cool and collected. Her concerns are honest. She tells you what she really thinks, she doesn’t hide the potentials, she is honest. There is something about her that is so trustworthy. I strayed, but then called my cousin and told him to go to her and no one else. And although I am still not okay with the idea of oral surgery, I would go back in an instant. thankfully.

Dr. Parham is the gentlest, most considerate and attentive dentist I have ever dealt with. Make that doctor. This is medical service the way it used to be: The dentist makes a connection with you as a human being instead of trying to rush you in and out so she can get to the next patient.
I had a cleaning, exam and x-​rays and she and her staff are incredibly gentle and patient. They take your time and check in with you constantly to make sure you are not in pain or discomfort.
The receptionist is also great and friendly, the waiting room is tidy with lots of reading material and she doesn’t double-​book or over-​book appointments so you’re never waiting in a queue with several other people.
The only drawback here is that parking in the garage is expensive: $ 1.75 every 15 minutes. I think there’s a city garage nearby if you don’t mind walking. But this is L.A. Who walks in L.A.

I went to Dr. Parham for an routine cleaning a couple of weeks ago. I had crappy student health insurance for awhile so I hadn’t been in 2 years and was dreading it. She and her staff were excellent. The office is very clean and modern. The X-​rays are digital and she uses a computer to show you everything, including handy videos on different procedures.
Luckily I had no cavities but do need some extensive work that would be considered cosmetic. Dr. Parham explained everything to me, showed me a video and gave me lots of follow up information so I could make my decision. She didn’t pressure me into anything. She also does the cleaning herself and was very gentle. I highly recommend her.

We all have to agree going to the dentist is one of our least favorite things to do. I don’t think it is something I really ever looked forward to. In all honesty once I left the house and went off to college I didn’t go to the dentist for probably 5 years. I know! Disgusting! Good thing I have good teeth.
After moving to LA something changed my mind. Maybe it is all the beautiful pearly whites walking around, but I knew it was time to find a dentist.
The first dentist I found was horrible. I picked her because she was close to where I lived and in Beverly Hills. I figured if you can afford rent in Beverly Hills then you must be decent. No! Simply horrible! *Once I remember her name I am giving her one star!*
I came across Saghi Parham online and she had many great reviews, so I thought I would give her a try.
First off, the parking is horrendous. The first time I went I parked in the garage thinking she would validate. She does not validate and parking was quite expensive. I think it was like $ 8-​$ 10. I don’t like paying for parking when I am going to the dentist. There is street parking, but it is hard to find… so don’t be running late like I usually am.
Her office is very modern and inviting. She makes you feel very relaxed. The staff is always friendly. All the equipment is state of the art, so there is no scraping away at your teeth. She will show you videos and explain things to you. Prices have all been reasonable, but I really only need to get cleanings so my insurance (Aetna) covers everything. She pays attention to detail and I can tell she cares about me.
The first few visits she did try and sell me on some special toothpaste and I actually bought it. I am not sure if it is better for your teeth or not. The nice thing was the next time I said I didn’t want it and she has never asked me about it again.
If you don’t like the dentist go to Dr. Parham and she will make the experience a lot less horrible.
Although I still don’t love going to the dentist. It isn’t like eating cupcakes. I don’t dread it either.
