Dr. Charlie Ilawan, DDS

"Family Dentistry-Dr. Charlie Ilawan creates a warm, welcoming, clean environment for his patients. The dental practice strives to build a foundation of trust with every patient through a personalized approach to achieve long term dental health. I was absolutely pleased with the dental cleaning from such a personable hygienist, Caitlin Velez. Dr. Ilawan was kind, knowledgeable, and made sure to meet all dental needs before leaving. If you are looking for a wonderful family dental practice, make an appointment."

"This guy did two large bridges for me. The first one broke almost immediately upon completion. I returned and he blamed me grinding my teeth and tried to sell me a mouth guard. (I have never grinded my teeth in my life.) At this point he tells me I'm too hard on my teeth and he would need to do stainless steel bridges. I got over the cosmetic aspect of having a mouth full of metal as a trade off to be able to chew again and paid additional money for the stainless bridge as well as a stainless bridge on the other side. Here we are a few months later and the one stainless bridge broke and fell out (stress crack because it was loose from not being installed properly) and the other bridge is loose. I booked a visit to give him a 3rd chance at fixing this for me but he chose to yell at me and blame my "bite". (Isn't it his job to adjust my teeth for bite? If not why did he grind my bridge and good teeth for almost an hour to make them fit?) I have been messing with this joker and not able to eat right for over a year! SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE OF HAVING TO SUE THIS GUY TO GET YOUR MOUTH RIGHT. Just go somewhere else instead. Side note, Dr. Steve Pfeinstein fixed me up right and I have not had a problem for over a year now. If looking for a good dentist, go see Dr Steve in Abita."

"Giving one star only because no stars was not an option. This is a dishonest practice ran by a dishonest man and an unprofessional office manager. My wife worked for the office, and we spent Thanksgiving at his home. I needed a routine checkup and he offered to do the checkup at no charge. I even had insurance but he said it wasnt necessary. A year later, I recieve a notification from collections stating that I owed his office money. I called the office and the office manager thought it was humorous that I was sent to collections and said that llawan refused to speak with me. He did the same to my wife after she stopped working for him and her checkup was included in her work benefits. Sudden outbursts of anger and shouting are common inside the business. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else. I figured him for a good man at first, but his true colors appeared with time."

"Dr. Ilawan came highly recommended by a friend and was a choice on our new dental insurance plan. I found that the office staff, dental assistants/hygienist and Dr. Ilwan, himself were friendly and professional. The office environment was clean and attractive and the exam rooms were comfortable and well equipped. I feel that the recommendations for my treatment plan were properly explained and I am confident that Dr. Ilawan was a good choice for our family."

"I've been Dr. Ilawan's patient for some time, and he consistently provides superior service in a beautiful, sparkling clean practice with great staff. His demeanor is always very personable, and he is generous with his time as well as being skillful at the complex procedures performed, all done without any discomfort, and for the six month cleaning/evaluation gets you in-and-out quick, all at a great price. Thx!"
