Getting here: the roads that matter
Saticoy Street is the useful one. It runs east-west across the Valley from Van Nuys through Lake Balboa and Reseda to Winnetka and Canoga Park, and our office is on it. Sherman Way, half a mile south, is the other straight shot, with a 405 exit at the east end. From the south, White Oak Avenue, Reseda Boulevard and Balboa Boulevard all run north from Ventura Boulevard and the 101 to Saticoy. From the north, Reseda and Balboa come down from the 118.
At rush hour, surface streets usually beat the freeways for a trip this short. Metro buses run along Sherman Way and Reseda Boulevard, and the G Line's Reseda station is about two miles south of us.
What every neighborhood gets
The same visit. Call first, get a held time, come once. The exam and X-rays, $99 for patients paying without insurance, then a written price, then treatment: toothaches, extractions, root canals, abscesses, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, lost crowns and fillings and denture repairs, all in our office on Saticoy Street. PPO plans accepted; financing available. Details on the cost and insurance page.
After hours, wherever you are in the Valley
The office is closed evenings after 6:00 PM (7:00 PM on Tuesday and Thursday), most Saturdays and every Sunday, and the phone is answered anyway. Call, and a real person holds you the first opening. The weekend and after-hours page covers what to do in the meantime and which symptoms mean Northridge Hospital Medical Center or Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center before us.
Frequently asked questions
Do you charge more for patients coming from farther away?
No. The exam and X-rays are $99 for self-pay patients whether you live on the next block or in Chatsworth, and treatment is quoted in writing the same way for everyone.
I'm not in one of these neighborhoods. Can I still come?
Yes. The list is where most of our patients drive from, not a boundary. Call (323) 433-6458, tell the front desk where you're coming from, and they'll suggest the quickest route.
Which route should I take in traffic?
For most of the central Valley, Saticoy Street or Sherman Way beats the 101 and the 405 at rush hour. If you're coming from the south side of the 101, the north-south boulevards (White Oak, Reseda, Balboa) are the direct roads.
