PLEASE FORGIVE THE LONG REVIEW BUT IT'S WORTH THE READ...Eagle Dental is a "no frills" business in a tiny strip mall. The main (and only dentist that I know of) is Dr. Reza Shirazi. He referred himself after working for another dentist, promising he could charge lower prices that our regular dentist could/would. At the time we had no dental insurance, now we do. Over a year ago, Dr. Shirazi did a root canal and crown(btw, he uses inferior bonding materials for both temporary and permanent crowns having them fall off within days). However, the root canal and crown in question in this review has not fell off. Instead, ive been experiencing pain in that area for over a year. I come to him every few weeks complaining of the pain when i bite down on that tooth, tap it or drink anything cold. He keeps telling me the bite on that crown is not correct and he files it down, saying, "Better now right?" Which i say, "I cant really tell without chewing on hard/dense foods or drinking ice cold water". He also does not have a dental hygenist. Mind you i like my teeth cleaned by the doctor but not by the clavitron (sp?)...Ive always had hand scaling done by a dentist and/or dental hygenist. Our whole family ended up going to Dr. Shirazi when my sons's medical dentist (claimed he had 14 cavities at one point (i assuming padding the bill) because he is adopted. We now pay for his dentistry and put him on our insurance. Our little family never had any problems with our teeth until we moved to the High Desert of California. Now its one thing after another. Our son was deemed to need braces by his Medical dentist...he does not...his teeth are perfect, straight white and no cavities since we left the Medicare dentist (wish i could remember his name...he would never let me in the examining room or look at the Xrays...i need to research him also). Anyway, back to Shirazi. He gave me my 6 month teeth cleaning still refusing a hand scaling. Instead he gave me a VERY aggressive cleaning with the Cavitron. Two weeks later i was back in his office complaining of the pain in the same area of the back molar i'd been complaining of for over a year. His assistant (and I should probably mention he went through staff, like he chanes his underwear. No one was ever the same. His first receptionist, Kansas, when we first went to him, was the best, nice to the patients, an all around joy and took her time explaining things while Shirazi is short tempered,, abprupt and uses foul language around his staff and patients. Our family are Christians and dont appreciate that language. That LAST visit to Shirazi, he didnt even come into the room. He just had a technician take the same old xrays, gave me a referral to Root 66 Endodonics and a prescription for Clindamycin (i dont do well on antibiotics, ie. Nausea, acid reflux, sore throat from the acid reflux and Candida in mouth and the "nether regions if you catch my drift). The day after i started the antibiotics, I woke up and that side of my face had swoll up, gums were red and one hour later next to the hurting tooth, a huge purplish/blackish red nodule formed. My husband rushed me to the ER as it was a Sunday. After sitting there for hours amongst very sick people vomitting into puke bags, i was seen by a very nice ER doctor who said, after i told him the whole sorted story, "Im no dentist but it looks like the beggings or full blown abscess. Finish the Clindimycin, im prescribing antibnausea meds and an anti yeast med. He told me it was never my tooth but a raging infection in my gums...for over a year!!! Really??? It is now much better, my "tooth no longer hurts, but im still suffering from nausea (and vomiting at times which could be from the aftermath of the Clindamycin or the poisons running through my body for a year. My primary care doctor is running all kinds of tests on me. And one of my best friends, a paralegal says she looked into Dr. Reza Shirazi of Eagle Dental and found there is at least one lawsuit against him and that he has filed for bankruptsy. At first i was impressed that he was a graduate of USC dental university because i know many others who graduated from there but whose practices are in Santa Monica, CA and Beverly Hills, CA. Which is too far for me to travel. However USC already has a history of taking bribes from wealthy (and famous) parents to allow their children into their school. It was in all the news. All i can say from my experience with Dr. Reza Shirazi is AVOID THIS DENTIST LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! read more
