Lovely place and people. Unfortunately they are shills for Invisalign. It's embarrassing how egregious their effort is to sign you up for it. Be sure to ask if certain tests are necessary/optional because they will try to get you into Invisalign's system through photos of your bite that they CT as if are standard protocol. I hope the big Invisalign bucks are worth sacrificing your service. read more

Most people dread a trip to the dentist. I'm not one of them. I don't love it. Nevertheless, I would much rather go to the dentist once every six months than get a bunch of tooth aches. I moved into the area a little over a year ago and I've been having major trouble finding a good dentist. The previous one I tried rescheduled me last minute twice in a row. After the second time I decided to look for reviews on Yelp. I came across Joel's review and decided to give Dr. Shadi Ghozati and her staff a try. I was highly impressed. My appointment was for the beginning of yesterday and today's blizzard. The staff called and asked if I could come in early. I suspect they had cancelations due to the weather. I made it in and was immediately greeted by a smile and my name even though this was my first visit. The entire staff was friendly. The receptionist, the dental hygienist, and the dentist herself were all friendly, respectful, and professional. I already made my next cleaning appointment for 6 months from now. I have finally found my dentist in Maryland. To top it off, as Joel mentioned the office is incredibly nice and they've got a nice setup. Not only do they have digital X-rays that you can review with the dentist immediately, they also have a regular digital photographic system. They can show you the inside of your mouth and teeth with ease. And in my case, take a picture of a small cavity that's not worth drilling now. 6 months from now Dr. Ghozati will review the picture and what my tooth currently looks like to make the decision from there. It is nice to know they have these baseline pictures of my mouth to see what changes over time. read more

I was extremely impressed with this place. Both my son and I had appointments today. The ladies at the front desk were very friendly, took care of our insurance without issue and answered my questions without hesitation. The dentist was very sweet and personable with me and my son and the hygienist was just as affable. And this was the most pain-FREE visit I've had in years. Columbia Gateway Dentistry has gained 2 new very satisfied patients today. read more

Extremly wonderful place! The staff is so kind and attentive. The have state of the art equipment. I can't say enough great things about them. Some people in my family have a lot of anxiety about visiting dentists and doctors but they are at ease here. The staff has a wonderful way of relaxing patients who have anxiety about cleaning and cavities. They always run on time! read more

Fantastic! I got the best cleaning that I've had in years. The receptionist did a great job at researching my insurance information. The Dentist quickly identified a serious problem and referred me to a specialist. The location is great and I will return! 5/2018: I went to Columbia Gateway Dentistry and got two crowns in three hours! I mean I came in there they did the measurements on my teeth, prepared the foundation, they created the crowns in the office and put them on my mouth in three hours! Phenomenal! All woman! I love this office. read more

I spent weeks looking for a dental office that had both close proximity to my place of employment and great reviews. Like a lot of people, the thought of being in "the chair" makes me cringe. I also had a terrible experience so rightfully so. However this office is fantastic. From the receptionist who was very friendly, warm, and outgoing. To the woman(Pari I believe is her name)who did my X-ray. And Mrs Izadi who did my cleaning. Dr Izadi was very through with explaining what the hell was going on in my mouth... Finally!! She made me feel very comfortable and not like I was on an assembly line. The appointment was made online, then confirmed over the weekend(while office was closed) and confirmed again through a phone call. The office is very inviting as well. read more

OK, I have to say that when it comes to skill and technology, these guys are great. A clean, top-of-the-line dentist office, they know what they're doing here. My main complaints are the "bedside" (chairside?) manner and billing. For their overal demeanor, it's not that they're rude, mean, or malicious. No, they're just very "matter-of-fact", including when they are drilling into painful areas. I had better apologies and comforting while I was getting a root canal from an endodontist than I did having a simple cavity drilled out and filled. A little more concern and empathy from the dental staff might be better. Also, their billing procedure leaves a little to be desired. They give you a number at the end to pay, but that is just the "pre-estimate". You could give them $1000.00 because that's what they ~think~ it will cost, but months later they will tally up what your insurance actually covers and suddenly you're looking at $500.00 more you owe them. It's not really an ethical business practice to make the customer pay what you guess and later say, "Oops, you owe a bunch more." So, I might use them because of their skill and technology, but I'm also more likely to find someplace with a bit more friendly demeanor and better billing practices. read more

Let me first say that I never went to an appointment at this dentist, so the dentist may very well be to Dentistry what Kobayashi was to competitive hot dog eating. My gripe is with their administrative staff. I called on a Tuesday and set up an appointment for two Thursdays from then using my PPO dental provider. At first, she told me she needed to check to make sure they still supported that provider and would call me back. Fair enough. Then she calls me back, saying she did not collect enough information about the provider, and again says she will call me back. No harm no foul, so far. Finally, I get a call back saying they supported them and we set up the appointment for two Thursdays from then. The whole week goes by and I get a call on Monday morning saying they did not support that PPO. Thanks, you just wasted an entire week of mine where I could have called a competent Dentist office and probably set up an appointment that week (not in 2 weeks). Also, keep in mind this update came after they sent me a post card and called me to remind me of the appointment. Anyway, I hop on the phone quickly to prevent losing more time and call another dentist. They ask me the provider and I tell them. Unlike the incompetent Admin Staff at Columbia Gateway Dentistry, they instantly knew they supported that provider, without having to do "research" and call me back a few times. The cherry on top, however, was when the lady (from Gateway) called me back, after I had set up the other appointment, and told me they DID in fact support that provider. She said, "It seemed weird to me that we would not support that PPO, so I looked into it and called them back. We do support them." Thanks for your incredibly late discovery. And thank you for wasting my time. read more

After reading the reviews, I was excited to call and place an appointment. However, I soon learned that my insurance is not accepted, even though this office is listed as a provider. When I was attempting to explain this to the first receptionist, I was placed on hold and immediately transferred to another individual. The second receptionist, who called herself Susie, was presumptuous to my concerns and spoke to me in a manner that was unprofessional. This is unbecoming behavior, especially for an individual whose main job is customer service. I was eventually hung up on after I stated how displeased I was with the manner in which I was being spoken to. Customer service can either make or break an office. You are only as good as the company you keep. I hope the Office Manager and Dr Ghozati take this into consideration when hiring office staff for the future. read more

Dr. Shadi Ghozati and her staff are the most friendly and professional dental group I've visited. Conveniently located adjacent to Lifetime Fitness in Columbia, Maryland, Columbia Gateway Dentistry has a brand new facility with the latest dental technology. Availability of appointments is great and rescheduling is no problem. I've only been there for cleanings and one cavity filling, but the rest of my family goes there for more complicated procedures (e.g. crowns, dentures, etc). the waiting room is kind of small....but you're not really waiting at any time. as soon as you register, you're almost immediately seated in your examination chair. i guess this would only be bad if you had kids waiting .... but they could take a walk outside? or the office complex has a lounge area on the second floor. you won't be disappointed! read more

My Medicare Advantage plan covers some limited dental and they use Dentemaxx as their vendor. Due to many years of "dry mouth" (which I didn't fully understand what that meant) I started loosing teeth, a few had roots above the gum line, etc., and needed to see a dentist to see what could be done, if anything. I was/am thinking full dentures!!!! So I checked the Dentemaxx list for a dentist and found these losers, checked them out on Angie's List and other resources and thought I'd found a winner. I called to make an appointment and spoke with Suzy. She needed to make sure they worked with my plan, and was advised they did. Mid February I had my first and only appointment. I was passed through a few hands, and did receive bite wing X-rays. They were not able to clean my teeth because I needed to be on antibiotics right before due to a 14 month old knee replacement. The dentist did look at my teeth and X-rays. She told me that Suzy would go over the plan with me. The treatment plan was for perio scaling and root planing to the tune of $1,032. $466 for each side and $100. Now mind you there is no teeth on lower right and upper left, and the whole lower left is already above the gum line. I paid $15 for the X-rays which is ALL I OWED!! PERIOD! Then starting in May they start sending me a bill for $97.69, the balance after insurance paid. I responded with a letter explaining why I DIDN'T owe this. They continue sending me a bill and I responded a second time and sent copies of the info from the insurance plan and Dentemaxx to clarify. Why do I really need to even do that? And copied Dentemaxx as well. My Advantage Plan went bankrupt the end of March so I didn't copy them and they paid their portion. I've called and asked for billing and am told they aren't in and to call back. Yesterday I got yet another bill. I'm just going to ignore it and they can all just go to hell! I don't know what their problem is. I don't appreciate their gross waste of the trees they've used for the bills and envelopes. But this disorganization, sheer ignorance and so unprofessional. I would allow them to walk my dog. So now I'm on a mission and will post similiar reviews everywhere I can think of and will look at filing a complaint with the organization that oversees them and the BBB. If, I appears on my credit report, there will be hell to pay. Inept, totally. read more

My family and I have been dr. Ghozati 's patients for many years. The office is relaxing, clean, and brand new with latest dental technology. the dentist has impeccable bed side manner. She put you at ease and is willing to make adjustment to the crown or bridge that I got put on. We are very happy with their services. read more

I drove almost 2 hours from Virginia to get there but it worth every minute and more. Yesterday was my first visit to this practice. Doctor Shadi Ghozati is so knowledgeable, compassionate and reliable. Her office is very clean and modernized. For past 3 years since my dentist retired I have been looking for a reliable doctor. Last one told me I need several crowns I was going to make an appointment but decided to make the trip to doctor Shadi's office for a consult. She said I prefer to keep your tooth as long as possible but I definitely need one crown. So she did it for me in one visit and I am good for six months till my next cleaning. I never expected to be so happy after a dental visit :)Bottom line she is reliable and does not charge you an arm and leg like many dentists I have visited so far. read more

I was a new patient at this practice and I was able to easily get an appointment booked a week before. Upon my arrival, everyone was really friendly. My hygenist was stuck in traffic apparently so the dentist ended up doing my cleaning. She even went through the xrays with me to show me where my cavities were and what they looked like. I needed to come back for a couple fillings and I told the woman at the front desk that I really had no time off for the rest of the year and that my only day left of Spring Break was the following day. She was able to squeeze my two appointments into one for the very next day!! I'm really glad I found this place. You can tell that customer service and professionalism is really important to them and they work with you to make sure you're acommodated. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I have moved away from the MD area - and I miss Dr Ghozati very much. She was my first real dentist, when I was in my mid 20's and my teeth were a hot mess. She helped get my teeth to the quasi normal state they are now. I've seen several dentists since hers (including today, which made me think of her) and I just keep wishing she could still be my dentist. -only doctor's office of any kind where I never had to wait -so clean, new, technologically advanced stuff. so weird to have to see such old technology with each new dentist i meet. -I felt very much like she cared for me. She extracted 2 of my wisdom teeth and it was no fun - but she was was very caring. -She's the only dentist I've had, ask about any anxiety about dentists. I said I had anxiety about it and was always nice to me. -I wish I could remember her name - 1 of the dental hygienists - she was a young female, with glasses, dark wavy hair. She was SO gentle- I felt nothing. There was another hygienist who I did feel the poking and scraping, but I think that is normal. read more

I'm literally still numb from my procedure today but I just had to come onto Yelp and gush about this amazing place. I am not a dentist fan -- in fact, it had been way too long since I'd been to one, and that was not a source of pride for me. I decided that I had a dental emergency today, and I gave CGD a call, on the off-chance that they might be able to take me. They told me to come right away, and I was seen within an hour or so of my initial call. The place itself is very calming and the desk staff super reassuring -- did I mention I was terrified of this very business? When I was called back, I was still scared, but the dentist and hygienist were very friendly, very straightforward so I wasn't nearly as scared. They went over the cost very plainly before the procedure, and to start it was less pricey than I thought it would be -- and they even knocked off a good chunk of the price because I was uninsured. The procedure itself went so smoothly. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm kind of on top of the world right now -- feeling good about getting a tooth taken care of and feeling really good about choosing Columbia Gateway Dentistry. I can't speak highly enough about this magical dental palace. read more

I went to see Dr. Shadi for an extraction after reading the reviews, and came away very impressed. My appointment began on time, her and her whole staff were very accommodating, and she did the actual extraction in about 10-15 seconds (after I had wondered how in the world she was even going to get it out; it was in pretty bad shape). She showed me things that I needed to improve on, and set a plan in motion to take care of some other issues that were found. Haven't been back yet (switched jobs), but as soon as all is taken care of, I will definitely be paying Columbia Gateway Dentistry a visit again. Comfortable atmosphere with people who know what they're doing? Sure I'll give it a shot again... read more

Don't like the way Dr. Izadi works. She went back and forth during a teeth cleaning process. I understand that sometimes doctors work on couple patients to help them save time, but not on cleaning teeth. read more

I'm not one of those people who love to go to the dentist. However, I have a great experience when I go to Columbia Gateway Dentistry. The entire staff is friendly and professional. The receptionist, the dental hygienist, and the dentist herself were all respectful and nice. I gag a lot when I get my cleaning, but her dental hygienist (Roza) is fabulous. She handled me patiently. I just moved to VA and my insurance plan changed. Dr Shadi Ghozati was so nice about it and her discount offer was impressive. The commuting part would be so difficult but I strongly believe that I have found my dentist in Maryland. Like so many people, I've been having major trouble finding a good dentist. Dr. Ghozati is a wonderful great dentist. I highly recommend this place:) read more

First off, I am working but uninsured. Dr. Ghozati and the staff did work with me to reduce the price of the procedures that I had (I had a few fillings, root canal, and crown)...which was the only good thing that happened for me from them. The actual dental work of the Dr. was not so great. She did not explain anything to me. I went to her after reading reviews that she explains everything and shows you detailed images, etc. However, she didn't do any of this. She just kept making me feel really bad about having cavities and that my diet is very bad (which actually is not). When she filled one of my molars, she over filled it. This caused me a lot of pain and headaches for about a week. I thought that it was normal and that the pain would go away, but it didn't. Fortunately I have a friend in dental school, who said this was not normal and said that the filling was over filled which can cause a lot of other problems (nerve damage, etc.). I went back and she drilled out some of the filling. When she did this, she made the side of the molar really thin, which eventually caused it to chip right in the center (a small hole), which I have been currently living with for the past several months. The crown that I had put in was not fitted in correctly (the assistant/hygienist put it in and the Dr. just came and looked at it), some of the original tooth is still exposed (which it is not supposed to) and now is developing a small cavity. All in all, I would not recommend going to her. I am glad that everyone else had a pleasant experience, but I did not for some reason. I was actually very excited to go to her, but her performance as a dentist made me very sad. Especially as someone who is uninsured and paying out of pocket, I think it wasn't very nice. I felt like she didn't really care and just wanted to get the procedures over and move on to other people (who I could hear her being nice to). Please keep in mind that I am not a confrontational person, so all of these things that went wrong, I never told it to her face. She never apologized for over filling my tooth when I went back for it to be fixed. It's all very sad and upsetting. My suggestion is to go to dentists that are recommended to you by family or friends. Obviously, I will not be going back to Dr. Ghozati, but my current dentist (the Dodek and Dodek team) are very good (they were recommended by a friend who went to them for several years). I wish all of you the best :) read more

This is a fantastic dentist. I have been going to Dr. Ghozati for a few years now. The office is very clean and professional. There are plenty of administrative and support staff (interestingly all women as far as I can tell) and they are very helpful in answering any question I have. I usually just go for a cleaning, they always do a very thorough job, the hygienist does most of the work, I have had a couple different people do the cleaning for me and they have always been super nice and they take their time and do a good job. At the end Dr. Ghozati always stops by and does an inspection of your teeth. They have computer screens at each chair and she goes through the x-rays individually and tells you how the teeth look, she points out any trouble spots that she sees. I recently went in for a more serious procedure (wisdom tooth extraction) and everything went very smoothly. Dr. Ghozati goes out of her way to explain what to expect, and makes sure you are comfortable and responsive to any pain you feel. Also, I don't have insurance - I always pay out of pocket, and I think the prices are really reasonable. A cleaning is ~130 for the first visit (if I remember correctly) and exactly 100 for each visit after that (includes tax and xrays etc). The wisdom tooth extraction + filling + 360 degree xray set me back around $450, which I thought was reasonable. I highly recommend her practice, of all of the dentists I have been to I think she is my favorite. read more

I was looking for a dentist office for a while until I came across Columbia Gateway Dentistry I have not had any complaints with them I love the work they do I would recommend anyone that is searching for a dentist office. Every time I need an appointment right away they come in handy with the scheduling and I can be seen right away or fit into the schedule. I get all my cleanings and work that is needed their quality of work is magnificent I love the way office is set up and how clean they keep it I can gladly give them a 100 on work ethic and how amazing the people that work there are. everyone is so friendly and they greet you with a lot of care. Even my daughter loved the dentist and she wanted too come back the next day just to get another cleaning with them I was stunned by the amazing work. One last thing is how amazing they are when it comes to working with my insurance and making sure I am paying the correct amount when I get major work done and informing me if there will be more payments due after insurances pay and I'm glad that I never am late on payments because they always keep me up to date. Thank you Columbia Gateway Dentistry for being such a great dentistry :) read more

Dr. Ghozati and her very professional and experienced STAFF have done miracles to my teeth. My Wife and I are patients of hers for about 2 years now and let me tell you the miracle work she has done to my teeth which has greatly improved my overall health... Two years ago, I was in great need of some serious Periodontal Disease at a point where it looked like I would need to eventually get dentures. I mean my teeth were bad. I had gingivitis, tarter and plague took over my gums and mouth! It was horrible. When I would attend meeting or talk to folks, I just didn't want to show my teeth. So one day I decided that I needed to improve my health and the first thing I started to focus on was my teeth. Dr. Ghozati took me in as a patient and immediately began work and told me she would work at helping me get my teeth and gums healthy. She explained to me what it would take and what she needed from me to get to that point of having a healthy mouth. Well she and her Team did it! With regular visits and following her and her Team's advice on what I need to do daily I have to say I am finally cured and that was within 6 months of being at patient at Columbia Gateway Dentistry. This morning they took a set of new x-rays of my mouth and when Dr. Ghozati compared them with my first set of x-rays you could see that today I have a totally different very healthy mouth! =) Dr. Ghozati and her Team are honorary members of our family now! I will be taking my Baby Boy there for his Dental care! Thank you Dr. Ghozati and the Columbia Gateway Dentistry TEAM! Of course, you all know I recommend Columbia Gateway Dentistry for all your dental care needs! They will become your Family too! read more

I love Dr. Ghozati & staff. The office beautiful, staff is warm, and Dr. Ghozati has a gentle touch. I'm really happy to see this office grow. read more

1. My Wife called to make an appointment. She specificially instructed no xrays. I wasn't aware, as my wife takes care of all appointments and such. I guess I already had the yearly xray, and the insurance would not pay for further xrays. 2. I went in, and let me tell you. It was for a basic cleaning, and it was THE MOST painful I had experienced. Ever. 3. Needless to say, they went ahead and did the xrays. Did not ask if I brought in any or if would be extra charge. 4. Got the bill, wife flipped out. 5. Called the billing person, forgot her name, but like talking to a stone. 6. Made a complaint with BBB. 7. Won't be going here again, they just want to make as much of a person as possible.... read more

Dr. Shodzie and the staff are fantastic. I've lived all over the country and I must say this is the best office I have visited. The technology is cutting edge and Dr. Shodzie really listens to your concerns. She is polite, gentle, and very knowledgeable read more

I went to see Dr. Shadi when two professional consultations by former dentists were unsatisfactory - I was told that my teeth could not be saved and that all had to be removed. I am an adult who was genetically predisposed to poor dental health. Well, as they say, first impressions are lasting impressions. When I contacted Dr. Shadi's office, I was greeted by a cheerful administrator who easily understood my concerns and indicated that I had contacted the right dentist (I was not a happy camper and very discouraged based on my earlier consultations.) The administrator provided me with a date and time that worked with my schedule and which was within a couple of days - (time was a large factor). Since I provided my health insurance information when I scheduled my appointment, when I arrived, all insurance matters were handled. I was relieved when I met Dr. Shadi. Dr. Shadi first, helped me understand why I was given the earlier diagnosis and then offered hope and a new plan. In one year's time, Dr. Shadi and her professional staff have changed my life - they gave me my smile back. Through hard work under the most dire of circumstances, Dr. Shadi skillfully put my smile back together again. Although, there is more work to be done (I did say extreme circumstances) I look forward to my continued professional relationship with Dr. Shadi and more importantly, I believe with every confidence, that Dr. Shadi will again be successful. I highly recommend Columbia Gateway Dentistry as a top notch full dental practice. Brenda B. Columbia, MD read more

I would give a zero if I could. This is a Tricare provider dentist, and they tried to over-bill me! I had to get my insurance company to reign them in. Fortunately my insurance company was able to negotiate something for me. The dentist, Dr. Ghozali is heavy handed with my children, and is not interested in speaking with me regarding the plan of care at present, nor a future plan of care. Her staff is the same. They are brusque and heavy handed. This dentist has a posh office, and I can only imagine that the inflated billing is needed to pay for it. read more

I had a procedure done today at the office. I want to say that the receptionist and office manager are both such nice people. They were very helpful in setting up the appointment, didn't penalize me when I got sick the day of the appointment and set me up for another day. The office manager went over the price and gave me the exact cost of the procedure and at the end of the visit I was indeed charged this exact amount, despite the fact that they also gave me laughing gas, which there is usually a charge for I believe. The doctor and assistant were both so incredibly nice to me. I was freaking out because the numbing didn't work and I was in a lot of pain, and they were calm, fixed the problem and gave me the laughing gas to calm me down. The crown I got looks really good compared to the other 2 I have gotten from other dentists in the past. It was an all porcelain crown and they make them right in the office and you get to go home with the crown already done. I had initially been going to get the porcelain fused to metal but ended up with this crown. I may do that in the future, despite the crazy price on it. The doctor even showed me how they make it, which was cool (even though I was out of it from the gas!) You also don't have to get an impression done for the crown because they use this special kind of camera instead. The office is in a really nice building next to Lifetime Fitness, is very clean and high tech. In the past, I have recommended the office to my parents, partner and a friend and will continue to recommend it. I just wish I could have an experience at the dentist where they numb me correctly right from the beginning. It never happens and is always a traumatic experience for me :( At least I know the doctor will be kind and understanding which I like. By the way, some of the reviews are really strange. There are probably 3 or 4 people who didn't even go to the office with reviews, which is not really helpful. read more

I found this dentist (Ghozati) from my local bank manager. I can honestly say that while the prices are a little high, I believe you get what you pay for. The whole office is amazing, from the secretary to the billing department to the hygenist (excuse my spelling) to Dr Ghozati herself. She went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable during my crown insertation to my daughters simple cavity filling. My daughter is a twenty year old ninny who hates the dentist, and this is the first dentist she has ever seen that she would willingly see again!! As long as you can afford them I would never go anywhere else! read more

Dental care is great. Support staff and billing, not. If you hope to use flex savings accounts from this practice, good luck. Look elsewhere. read more

This place is only interested in making money. I recently moved to the area and chose them for a routine cleaning. They are a preferred provider in my insurance plan. Everything went great during the appointment, the dental hygienist was very thorough. I paid my copay and was on my way. One month later I received a bill for $99. Turns out they took additional x-rays that are not covered by my insurance and minus my copay this was my balance for basic exam! So really I had to pay $119 I think people without insurance pay less. I have never had to pay more than my copay unless I was offered additional services but I have always been asked beforehand. From my initial conversation with the front office staff they are familiar with my insurance because she even showed me a binder of all the insurance plans and what they cover... so why do something extra that you know is not covered without discussing it with me first if I am going to be held responsible to pay??? Because they want to make $$$ NO MATTER WHO PAYS FOR IT, ME OR THE INSURANCE. If you go there, please be aware of what your insurance covers you may want to take a copy of it and tape it to your forehead so they can read it before they start working on you. My family will not be returning to this place and now I am back to square one to find a good, honest, family dentist! read more

I just came back from getting a crown from Dr. Ghozati and was pretty disappointed in the whole procedure. While waiting for my permanent crown to come in, Dr. Ghozati let her assistant create and attach a temporary crown to keep in for 2 weeks. She never bothered checking her assistants work and it ended up fitting poorly and irritating my gums. I was taking advil the whole 2 weeks. After my crown came in, Dr. Ghozati took my temp crown off, and despite knowing that my tooth was very sensitive, she never bothered to apply any pain reliever to my tooth or gums before applying my permanent crown. On top of that, while i was still in pain after gluing in my crown, she immediately (literally 15 seconds) started flossing between my tooth and crown and used a pick to clean the glue off my teeth. After she glued on the crown, she never bothered to check to see how it fit and how my bite was, and just sent me on my way. I've gotten 3 other crowns previously and found this highly unprofessional of her. I used to come here due to its convenience to work, but I will find another dentist. read more

I took my son for his first visit. They needed some fillings. It was his first time. Once they numbed him, he got a little scare bc of the needle. He didn't move or cry. He was just very nervous. He is only four. I was holding his hand to make him feel comfortable. Doctor start getting upset bc he would not opened his mouth all the way. He started telling my son that I was going to leave the room if he didn't stop. Honestly, he wasn't screaming or doing anything. He was just very nervous. Doctor kept asking me to leave. Of course I didn't leave my four years old son there. They gave him a mask with some type of gas to calm him down. I was very pregnant at that time. I later found out that gas was not safe for pregnant woman. They were just not friendly at all (by that I mean the doctor bc hygienist was the opposite very comforting with my child). On top of that, they gave him a silver cap without asking me. Even though I was there, I didn't realize what they were doing until she put it. She said it was the only way to treat his tooth. Later I found, parents need to sign a paper to authorize it. He didn't really need it. I could go on and on...but I will never go back or recommend this place read more

I was 34 weeks pregnant when I decided to visit the dentist since I had a broken tooth and was concerned about infection and if that would affect my child. My plan was to get a opinion and decide on whether I needed to get anything done and if that was advisable at that time due to my advanced pregnancy. however against my better judgement, I agreed to teeth cleaning. Once the hygienist was done and the doc came in she inspected my teeth. She was not able to find the broken tooth and finally she asked me where it was. After I showed it to her, she could not get a good look since it was a molar and was growing towards my mouth inner wall. So she recommended I get Xrays done and assured me it was safe at this stage in my pregnancy. I was not comfortable and we agreed that I would make an appointment after my delivery. She inspected my teeth, took some pics and mentioned that I have cavities and was very surprised when I mentioned that none of the teeth gave me any pain. She was especially surprised when I said I had not experienced any pain since she thought my top molars had big cavities and such teeth ave a tendency to break anytime. That did scare me and I made a mental note of getting the Xrays done as soon as I could. After I went home, I had alternating pain on the top molar at night and this continued for a week. Since I couldnt take any medication, I would swallow ice-chips till the pain numbed and would be awake at night for 3-4 hours every night till about a week. This may be a coincidence, but I will never go back to the doctor / hygienist for what I went through in the last days of my pregnancy - for teeth cleaning. read more

First off let me say when I started coming to the office the receptionist were really nice and helpful, but when I went to be seen by the Dr. Which her name is Dr. Izadi she had a fake smile, and such fake personality you can already tell she isn't there for her patient she is only there to get money out of her patients. I'm pregnant and when I went to get my crown done I felt such uncomfortableness because it told her my back hurt and she told me I was gonna have to deal with that pain for 3 hours and told me if I didn't stop whining my husband would have to leave the room because I was so spoiled, which I didn't get why she would say such thing. Than to top it off while staying my procedure with the dental assistant they start talking in there language which I felt such uncomfortableness because in a office of proffesional it's you are never suppose to do that, when you are with patients and you are working on them. You make them feel uncomfortable. I honestly don't plan to go back to that office they made me feel some type of way. More like dr. Izadi she's the one who just wants your money and doesn't care about you. I don't recommend her to anyone go to any other Dr. Besides her. Bad experience. read more
