Everyone here is so patient and kind! My daughter hates going to the dentist due to a bad experience at a different dental practice. At this clinic, they make sure they take their time in making sure she was okay & comfortable. This is honestly one of the best dental practices I've ever taken my daughter to. & would 10/10 recommend to anyone! read more

My twins have been going to this dentist for about a year and 1 of my twins was referred out for teeth fillings. I decided I don't want my 4 yr old put to sleep for the fillings, so I contacted the dentist and asked can they do the same thing they did for the other twin. I was told because she was referred out that basically they not going to try to do the filling at this practice. So I am just going to move them to a different dentist that accepts their dad insurance instead of medi-cal read more

Dr. Roya is just the best! So sweet and patient with our three girls, and really well-trained, thorough, and up to date on all the latest recommendations as well. As a pediatrician, I highly recommend this practice! read more

I had a great experience in this clinic. Kind and caring staff and really clean environment. Special Thanks to Dr. Roya for explaining every other things she did and being pretty gentle. She is the one that makes you interested in oral hygiene. read more

I'm from the East Bay. My kids' original pediatric dentist is your basic walk in, get it done & out. My son hasn't had good experiences with dentists since he was small enough to go and was always anxious. Upon needing dental work, we were sent to a dentist in San Jose where it was just sketchy. I was traumatized after that experience and so was he. Our primary dentist didn't want to do dental work on my son because he was "fidgety." I requested a second opinion from another dentist with high reviews in Oakland who also mentioned he didn't feel comfortable working on my son and requested he be seen by a specialist for sedation for one tooth. At the appt, the specialist stated he didn't feel comfortable sedating him for one tooth and any Pediatric dentist is more than capable. Feeling reassured knowing that he also agreed, the receptionist gave me the number to my insurance. I called feeling defeated as my son was now in pain after getting the run around all year. She connected me with Kathy (you're amazing Kathy!) from Canyon Pediatric Dentistry and just the sound of her voice gave me hope and reassurance. My son walked in nervous and Dr Roya noticed. She talked and explained everything she was doing step by step and in the end, he got a prize from their prize stand. My son came out excited Dr Roya was willing to help him and how patient, kind, and gentle she is. This practice isn't like any other practice where there's no bond with the patient. They treat you like family and make the process smooth. Dr Roya was able to take care of the tooth that hurt, I'm able to be present in the room (unlike w/our primary for dental work) and my son, although anxious both times, wasn't as fidgety as the prior dentists mentioned. This office gives you a feeling of safety and security. I switched my daughter to this office as well and now they'll both be permanent patients here. I'm beyond happy and blessed to have found Dr Roya and am so grateful and thankful. My son loves going to the dentist now and and my daughter had fun on her first experience as well. read more

Dr. Roya was very kind. She took the time to carefully explain the importance of flossing to my seven year old using a dental model.

Excellent service and work with his heart! The staff very nice and patient. My three kids very happy with their service and Dr. Ashrafi very good Dr who you can trust because I got suffer to look for a good Dr for my kids, And finally we found him . I am very satisfied with their service. Very recommended!!! read more

Canyon Pediatric Dentistry - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - San Ramon, California

See all

Today was our first appointment here and the staff was amazing. Kathy who schedules the appointments was always helpful and accommodating. The dental assistant that cleaned my sons teeth was sweet with him and very nice to talk to. The Dentist was better then I could have imagined. In the past my son had a bad experience at a different dentist. This dentist took her time, explained everything she was going to do with my son and made him so comfortable. We are so happy we switched offices and although we don't want too many visits (hopefully no cavities) we look forward to seeing them again soon. Thank you so much! read more

I personally became a patient of Dr. Ashrafi when I was a teenager. He took over the practice of my childhood dentist and for the last 15+ years, I've had nothing but good things to say about him. Back in 2008, when my then-1 year old had a mouth emergency, Dr. Ashrafi was an obvious choice for immediate care. Since then, I've been taking him every 6 months for cleanings/check-ups and have done so with my younger son as well starting from 1 year old. I love the staff and Dr. Ashrafi is always very personable, talks to your children on their level, doesn't ever recommend unnecessary work, and is just an overall honest dentist. I recommend him to all my friends and family without hesitation. As a plus, he has had the same staff (front and back office) for a very long time and I have gotten to know them as well. So nice to feel "at home" every time we go for a visit. read more

Very friendly staff! Dr. Ashrafi is very knowledgeable and very kind and caring person. my eight years old son teeth got infected really bad, and the other dentist was trying to do filling on the infected teeth. I didn't allowed her to do the filing and immediately took my son to Dr. Ashrafi. Thanks god that he took care of my son. His teeth (2 teeth) was infected so bad that he had to prescribe my son with antibiotic and then remove those infected teeth and....he is very knowledgeable!!! Thank u Dr. Ashrafi for taking care of my son!! YOU ARE THE BEST! read more

I LOVE Dr. Ashrafi. He's amazing and if he took adult patients, I would choose him in a heart beat. Most of all the way he treats my kids is stellar. He's supportive, encouraging, and praises them throughout the process. He filled caveties for my 4 year and old and after she left, she asked when we could come back. The fact that my kids WANT to come to the dentist should be telling enough. He is knowledgeable and left me with great instructions on how to care for my kids teeth. Even reception is incredibly kind. Love it here. read more

Dr. Ashrafi is like the the Godfather of teeth- he takes my children's dental health and maintenance very seriously. My children now ages 10 and 9 have been under Dr. Ashrafi's care for about 2 years now. I, nor my children, have any complaints. And, believe me, if my children had complaints they would express themselves to me and I would not think twice of switching them to another dentist. (I am especially sensitive to my son's comfort because when he was younger he underwent a traumatic experience at Youthful Tooth in Oakland that I thought would ruin his ability to trust dentists again- but that's another review for another day.) However, his experience with Dr. Ashrafi has been positive so far. In the end my children are comfortable going to their dental appointments and their teeth are well cared for under Dr. Ashrafi's vigilant eye. read more

Dr. Ashrafi has been an amazing dentist for our kids all these years! Kids love going to him and take his advice very seriously!

Dr. A is absolutely THE BEST!!! So gentle and professional. I was impressed that he is also a psychologist. He really understands the kids and his methods are top notch! read more

"The kid has trust issues"....."Don't waste my time". If you want your pediatric dentist to say those words to your kids, please go ahead and see Dr. Ashrafi. Yes, thats what he said to my daughter. Like most kids, my daughter has always been scared going to a dentist office. I have always taken her to pediatric dentists, which as you'd expect, have always helped her overcome her fear and anxiety during dental treatments. Not this dentist. Being new to this area, I took my daughter to Dr. Asharfi. Was extremely dis-satisfied, and shocked that a "PEDIATRIC" dentist would get frustrated with a kid, in just a few minutes, if the kid is not co-operating. Avoid him, there are much better choices out there. And by the way, I doubt if the other 5 star reviews here are legit. Yelp should verify! read more

Great dentist for kids. My daughter is happy here!

Dr . Ashrafi is a knowledgeable dentist and we have known him for several years . My two kids enjoy visit his office and he is very kind and takes time to explain any procedure and so far we are very satisfied with his care. Office Staff personnel are very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend him to my friends. read more

Dr Ashrafi and staff are awesome with kids. My son has no problem going here. His first visit at three was scary, he had to be put under for a mini root canal. I thought I was going to die of panic on the spot. Dr Ashrafi was SO amazing at making us all feel ok. My son never knew what happened, and I was supported and updated the entire time. Would recommend for any child! He has a totally cool set up! You get a toy every time which is neat. The hygienist is very patient, and Kathy in front is really nice. read more

This one's easy...5 stars. We've been going here for about two years now and the entire staff have always been great with me and my three children, and dr Ashrafi is in my opinion awesome with children, which only takes second place to his dentistry skills. Really really happy we found you guys! read more

Dr Ashrafi is truly amazing with children of ANY age. He clearly has a gift with putting children at ease instantly and , I swear, magically, provide them with a painless, positive experience. He's incredibly comforting, caring, and genuinely loves children. We have moved and experienced 2 different ped.dental offices. Dr. Ashrafi puts them to shame! read more

This dental place is excellent. My son came here for his first dentist experience. I love that they had a coloring book that u can print online to show the kids what to expect. This was very helpful for my son. I also showed him the picture of the place online. The colors on the wall and the toys made it look so kid friendly. read more

I've been bringing my kids to doctor Ashrafi for 6 years. First heard about him when my eldest had a tooth ache on a holiday weekend when his regular dentist office at the time was closed. I called my insurance carrier and they recommended Dr. Ashrafi. When I called his office during non-normal business hours 10pm it was closed but I left a message and his office assistant must checked the messages and contacted me the following morning and made and emergency appointment me to bring my son in. Ever since he became my kids new dentist. My 6 year old really enjoys and feels comfortable coming to the dentist. The office is really nice and clean and decorated with the likeness of children in mind. read more

My children have been coming to this dentist their whole childhood and have a perfect smile. They love coming to the dentist, that says a lot of Dr Ashrafi and his assistants. They will work with you on payments and your dental plan. I'm so glad Dr Ashrafi is my children's dentist!!! read more

Dr. Ashrafi is really nice and fixed my teeth really well. He has been my only dentist for my whole life. He also is good at fixing teeth, and my braces never broke once. I recommend him to everyone if they want a good dentist. You should take your kids now! read more

Amazing dentist for kids. I've had three children who have seen Dr. Ashrafi for years. The last one has been with him before he even had teeth for just a gum check and is now 16 years old. He's wonderful and comforting with children and extremely knowledgeable which is why we've been there for so many long and plan on staying until my last one is too old. read more

My kids have been patient for almost 2 yrs now and I am very pleased with the level of care. Dr Ashrafi is very pleasant but more importantly , so knowledgable .. I love the education aspect he brings and he always spends time teaching my children about teeth and life in general !! read more

My four kids have been going to Dr. Ashrafi for 10 years! He is truly amazing. Excellent dentist and staff too!

Best pediatric dentist. Great kid friendly environment and staff. Lots of toys in the waiting room, exam room, and most importantly..parents are allowed with your child. We drive all the way from the east county in the east bay to San Ramon. Kathy at the front is awesome, accommodating and understanding. I can't say enough good things about this office. read more

Dr. Ashrafi is the most unprofessional dentist I have ever dealt with. I took both my 6 and 9 year old kids to him for dental work. My disappointment with his practice is due to: 1, Performed on my kids procedures different that what was agreed upon and scheduled for that session. When your kids enter his office, you never know what he is going to perform on them. 2. Overcharged us for work not done, and when we asked for a refund in the overcharged amount, he refused saying we can get a refund on the next visit charge. 3. Performed a procedure on my daughter without any prior authorization. My daughter had a yellow tooth due to a high fever she had when the tooth was just coming out. While performing a different procedure on a different tooth of hers, he whitened the yellow tooth using resin. Knowing that there are many different ways of whitening that tooth with different advantages/disadvantages, he did not even consult with us what method we want to use. When I complained to him that this procedure was not scheduled neither authorized, he falsified our signed authorization form by hand writing that tooth procedure on it after we signed it and sent us a copy! Lucky us, we had the original signed copy. When I complained nicely to him regarding the issues above, he was rude, overly defensive, and not even willing to listen to my complaints. I successfully filed a complaint with the insurance company and got them to reverse the charges for work charged to us but not performed. read more

UPDATE 2/20/12: I have to say I have NEVER been more disgusted by someone's attitude as I was today by the receptionist up front. My daughter had her 6 month check up scheduled, mind you 6 MONTHS IN ADVANCE, and when we arrived on time for her 10:30am appt we were kept waiting, and waiting, and waiting. Over an hour goes by and nothing. The receptionist's attitude just put me beyond. She made excuse after excuse of why we were still waiting and never once even attempted to apologize. She absolutely lacks any concept of how to run a front desk or how to provide any customer service. I would never expect to show up to an appt ONE HOUR LATE and expect to be seen and yet somehow they think it is acceptable to keep us waiting for one hour with no idea when they would be actually seeing us. It just blows my mind! On top of it, when I called to reschedule for an evening appt because I refuse to take more time off work and pull my daughter from school due to their lack of timeliness I was told that they won't accommodate the request. That was my final straw. I refuse to participate and contribute to this office in thinking that their time is more important than mine and my daughter's. Unfortunately, their arrogance and lack of courtesy has lost them a patient and gained them only negative word of mouth. Major disappointment! I brought my daughter to Dr. Ashrafi for her very first dentist appointment. Needless to say she had lots of questions and reluctance about seeing a dentist and Dr. Ashrafi began easing all of her concerns from the first moment. I went to their website and they have a booklet that you can print out for your child's first visit. It personalizes their name and age into the story about what to expect. My daughter and I read the book and she colored in all the pictures. She loved it! From that point on she was almost bragging about getting to go. From the moment we walked in she was like a kid in a candy store. Everything is brightly colored and their play area is like none I have seen before. They have all sorts of games, a Sony Playstation 2 and tons of magazines. The staff was welcoming and super friendly, not to mention very prompt! They walked my daughter through every step of the process. They even had an array of animal sunglasses for her to pick from so that the light didn't bother her. Dr. Ashrafi felt almost like family. He is warm, engaging, and very intuitive! He was able to make us feel at ease instantly and was so knowledgeable! We ended our visit by taking a picture with Dr. Ashrafi that they put onto a certificate for my daughter summing up her very first dentist visit! I LOVE DR. ASHRAFI AND CANYON PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY!! Truthfully, I wish I could go here too! read more

I think one of the main reasons we kept coming is because of Kathy! She is a wonderful, helpful compassionate person. My rating is strictly regarding Dr. Ashrafi. I would never post something negative about anyone if it wasn't true. As my daughter sat scared in the dentist chair, her check was cut open by the Dr. and she began to cry. Then Dr. Ashrafi told her to quit crying because he had a lot of work to do. Anyway we wont be going back, and I wouldn't recommend going to him for Ortho. read more

My kids truly enjoy going to the dentist. Dr. Ashrafi is amazing with them.

Dr.Ashraf is super excellent with kids. He talks with them so kindly and get work done with their teeth. The office staffs are very friendly and accommodate our appointments very well. We are totally happy with Dr.Ashraf's office . My kid likes Dr.Ashraf and always praise him as the best doctor who does not do anything painful for the teeth. read more

Super friendly staff. Everyone just seems genuinely happy to work there. My son has been with Dr. Ashrafi for almost 8 years. He always takes the time to explain what was done, what to look out for (e.g. wisdom teeth, braces), and just general conversation and advice about school. I also love that there is no waiting when you show up for your appointment. Why can't all dentist and doctor visits be this efficient and stressfree? read more

I love Dr. Ashrafi. He bought my dentist's practice (pediatric practice) that I had been going to since I was born. I love him so much I've gotten everyone in my family (kids) to go to him. He teaches at UCSF which is one of the best dental schools in the country. He knows his stuff and his practice is high tech. Best dentist I have ever gone to! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Ashrafi. At every visit, he consistently provides positive encouragement and reinforcement to my son, to keep up the good work in taking care of his teeth. His kindness and warmth helps to make the experience of going to the dentist a very pleasant one over the six years as a patient. read more

My children have been going to Dr. Ashrafi for almost five years. I now travel 50 miles to receive excellent services because of the caring staff, knowledgeable Doctor and quality work. The children being various ages (16,10, 4, 3) involve many different issues. With Dr. Ashrafis knowledge of dentistry we have been pleased with all the services and advice he has provided our family. read more

Great Dentist my daughter has been seen for about 13 years and now my other 3 kids come and I love the way everything is explain I now live in concord and I still drive to San Ramon because I am so comfortable with this dental office. Cathy is always so nice and helping, but in general I like everyone there. Thanks for the hard work and patience with my kids. read more

We have been sending our kids to Dr. Ashrafi fro several years now. He is great with both our 7 year old and 11 year old. My oldest was very tentative about visiting the dentist but Dr. Ashafi has helped him to feel more comfortable. He takes time to visit with the kids first and then parents. He always takes a moment to talk to the kids about the importance of their dental care and does a good job keeping us informed about issues or things we might want to consider down the road. The staff is great and the kids enjoy the waiting area. We have never had a bad experience and look forward to several more years of visits! read more

Great knowledgeable pediatric dentist;I have known Dr. Ashrafi for few years and my kids love to come to his office; great service and helpful staff, especially Mary, his hygienist. read more
