I was in so much pain and was referred to this dental office. I have not been to the dentist in…read moreover 15years so of course I was super nervous. Dr. Marhabi made me feel so COMFORTABLE. I had to extract (2) of my teeth and I was so afraid to get numb by the needle, let me just say I FELT NOTHING. Adding on I felt nothing when he took both teeth out as well. His team was so helpful. The front desk operation manager was so welcoming and nice.

I would not recommend this dental office…read more I was a patient here since last year. I wanted to see one of their specialists. I scheduled an appointment, only to find out when I arrived that the specialist only comes in once a month and that nobody had actually scheduled me for the specialist's day. It was a complete waste of my time. I initially took advantage of their promotional offer for X-rays and a partial deep cleaning. After that, I felt like the focus immediately shifted to selling me a much more expensive full-mouth treatment plan. When I wasn't interested in moving forward with the additional services, the staff's attitude seemed to change. The deep cleaning I did receive felt rushed and incomplete, as if the provider just wanted to get it over with. Another major concern was privacy. The office is so open and loud that I could hear staff discussing other patients' dental conditions, including details about gum recession and treatment plans. Patients should not be able to overhear information that should remain private. I was also quoted a very high price for a laser-assisted deep cleaning. Later, I overheard staff discussing different pricing for what sounded like the same treatment with other patients. When I questioned it, I was suddenly offered a "deal," which made me wonder how consistent and transparent their pricing really is. When I returned for treatment, my blood pressure was taken with an automatic machine that consistently reads higher than manual measurements. Because of the reading, I had to come back another day. Only after advocating for myself was a manual blood pressure check performed. The specialist I saw also seemed dismissive of my concerns. I left feeling like I was simply being told information I could have found online rather than receiving meaningful guidance specific to my situation. The biggest issue, however, involved an infected tooth that needed a root canal. I was quoted nearly $3,000 for the procedure, which I simply could not afford. I decided I would move forward with an extraction instead. When I called to schedule it, I was quoted over $2,000 because the doctor wanted to preserve the area for a future implant. If I couldn't afford the root canal, why would anyone assume I could afford a $2,000+ extraction? After explaining my financial situation, it felt like the conversation quickly became, "Well, okay then, goodbye." No one took the time to explain more affordable options or discuss a basic extraction as a last resort. For a practice that claims to work with patients, I felt pushed aside the moment I couldn't agree to the more expensive treatment plans. I understand that dental care in the U.S. is expensive, but this office felt more focused on sales than patient care. Between the inconsistent pricing, lack of privacy, aggressive upselling, and dismissive attitude toward financial concerns, my overall experience was disappointing. The one bright spot was Kayla at the front desk, who was friendly, helpful, and professional throughout my visits. There are plenty of excellent dentists in the area. Based on my experience, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

To start off, I arrived at 9:30 AM and didn't leave until 12:30 PM, and no dental work was done. I…read morecame in needing a tooth extraction because I was in pain, but instead of helping me get the treatment I needed, they kept insisting that I get a bone graft in my gum, even after I explained that I couldn't afford the additional cost. I simply wanted to have the extraction done using what my insurance covers and possibly consider the bone graft in the future. The entire situation was incredibly frustrating. To make matters worse, when I finally went in for my X-rays, the man assisting me was rude and unprofessional. He told me, "You have broken teeth everywhere. How long has it been?" I explained that it had been 10 years because I struggle with severe dental anxiety and have a hard time going to the dentist, but the pain had finally become too much to ignore. His response was, "Wow, that's an accomplishment." Excuse me? What kind of response is that to someone who is already anxious and embarrassed about their dental health? I'm not proud of having avoided the dentist for so long, and I certainly didn't need someone making me feel worse about it. Instead of showing compassion and understanding, he made my anxiety skyrocket and left me feeling even more embarrassed. I was already nervous about coming in, and it took a lot for me to make that appointment in the first place. I should have walked out, but I was in pain and genuinely wanted relief. After spending three hours there without receiving any treatment, I left feeling frustrated, embarrassed, and disappointed. Although the rest of the staff were nice, this experience completely changed my impression of the office. Patients deserve to be treated with respect, especially when they are already struggling with anxiety and pain. I understand that additional procedures may be recommended, but patients should not feel pressured into paying for treatments they cannot afford when they are simply trying to receive the care their insurance covers. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. The experience left me feeling as though my financial situation and the office's recommendations mattered more than my immediate pain and comfort as a patient. Dental anxiety is already difficult enough, and experiences like this only make it harder for people to seek the care they need.
