4.2 out of 5 from 5 reviews.

I've been patient for Dr. Narissa Ambata for many years. For me She is the best.Her prices are low compared with other clinics . Makes me happy to go to her office, I didn't feel when She put the anesthetic. She has soft hands. She is very gentle and very kind, also I like because everything is clean. The assistants are very friendly. Absolutely, I recommend that place.

This place is a scam. I was given a price for a crown installation with an agreed upon price. I left half of this payment during my initial visit with the agreement that I would pay the other half once the procedure was completed. I arrived that day and had my crown installed and went to the counter to pay my remaining balance. In the process of payment I was told that there was a "mistake" in the original price and that it was 100 dollars more than the original agreed upon price. On top of that I was being asked to pay the full amount with my down payment not being taken into consideration. I had to correct the women at the counter and she looked dumbfounded at my information as if she had gotten caught in a lie. Eventually another employee got this sorted out, but I was still being charged the additional amount. I would have liked to received a call or be pulled aside day BEFORE the procedure had taken place, about the new amount if it was going to cost me more before the procedure happened so I could have cancelled and taken my business elsewhere. I don't recommend this place at all. Go somewhere else for your dental needs.

Questions People Ask

Does Dr. Narissa Bawalan Ambata take Denti-Cal?

Yes. This dentist appears in the state's published list of enrolled Denti-Cal providers. Taking the coverage and having an opening are two different things, so still call ahead.

How do I make an appointment?

Call (323) 560-8999 and say you have Medi-Cal dental. Or use the form on this page. Your request goes to the office if it takes requests here, and to our team if it does not. Nobody else gets it.

What will it cost me?

For most Denti-Cal covered treatment there is no copay. If the office suggests something the program does not cover, ask for the price in writing before you agree.
