Love this practice! I had a recent exam at Pasadena Smiles and was in need of a crown. I was referred to Dr. Koutchek for an earlier appointment. She was so warm and friendly and worked to make sure that I was well taken care of. She is very gentle and has an excellent bedside manner. The crown she placed looks completely natural and fits perfectly. I was so impressed with her work! The front office staff and dental technicians are all super helpful and friendly! Would highly recommend this practice. Thanks again!

This review is for Dr. Koutchek, Krystal and April.

Let me start off by saying that I am absolutely terrified of the dentist. I'm sure most people are too but I was so traumatized by an experience I had when I was a teenager/early 20's that I haven't been back to see a dentist in a while. Needless to say my teeth were bad. I mean REALLY bad. I needed a re-treat on a root canal, a couple crowns, fillings and a deep cleaning. So as you can imagine I was not only scared but incredibly embarrassed to see a dentist after so long.

So after putting off seeing a dentist for so long and part of one tooth missing, which was so painful I had no choice but to go in. I mean, orajel and Tylenol weren't even taking the edge off anymore. I knew it was time to bite the bullet and find a new dentist.

When I walked in I was so nervous. I hadn't been to a dentist in so long I didn't know what to expect. When I was called into the office I told April how bad my teeth were and not to judge me before I even opened my mouth. But she assured me that I was going to be okay and that I would be cared for like family. Since I hadn't seen a dentist in so long I hadn't even thought about dental insurance and coverage. But April was so helpful talking to me about all the different insurances and also told me that if I don't have insurance that the doctor would offer me insurance prices until I could get dental insurance!!! What a relief!

I was then seated by the sweetest assistant, Krystal! She then took some xrays of my mouth and talked with me for a short while until Dr. Koutchek came in. And let me say, Dr. Koutchek is the most gentle and kind dentist I've ever met!!! She made me feel so at ease about my current oral situation. She told me that my tooth that was hurting needed a root canal and then a crown but that it was smart of me to come in before it got worse! So we worked out a game plan to get all my work done before the end of next year and allowed me to pay for my crown half that day and half during the crown delivery in 2 weeks!!!

My root canal was so smooth and pain free I was surprised she even did anything!!! I couldn't feel a thing!!! What a blessing! And Krystal was so kind and supportive to me! I can't stress how caring and wonderful this office is and how professional they are.

All I can say is that the staff here are absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! Super-friendly, non-judgmental and excellent at what they do. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I have definitely found my go to dentist from now on. Thank you so much ladies. From the bottom of my heart.

I have been a bit traumatized in the past with other dentists in LA. I am so happy that a friend turned me on to mission dental. Not only is their office spotless ( I'm a bit of a clean freak) but they're SO gentle. I was always terrified of cleanings and x-rays, because past dentists would be so abrasive but Dr. Koutchek and her assistant were both so gentle. It was such a pleasant experience.
I'm not one for too many reviews, but since I've had such a hard time finding an affordable (I don't have dental coverage), gentle care, a friendly, helpful stuff and a knowledgeable doctor I had to post.
I highly recommendation Mission Dental. I'm excited to go back!
