Desiree J.

I needed a new dentist, which is such a daunting process that I ignored it for the last few years but now I have one! From the parking staff to the receptionist, assistant, hygienist, and Dr. Poneh everyone was SO incredibly kind. This was the most efficient dentist appt I've ever had. I had no wait time upon arrival...X-rays were immediate, followed by exam and cleaning, all so prompt. The offices were very clean! Dr. Poneh didn't try to talk me into any upsells (which is sadly such a thing now), she just gave me all the information I could need! She was so personable and incredibly kind. What a great practice! Thank you!! Also they validate parking downstairs for 1hr!

Modern, clean and welcoming waiting room

I especially appreciated my conversation with the dental assistant, Nayelli, who was so kind and reassuring.

I truly appreciate the wonderful care and positive experience. I would definitely recommend this dental office to anyone looking for a welcoming and caring team!

This ethically corrupt place is everything wrong with modern dentistry…read more Overtreat, overbill, and spend more time marketing to you and trying to sell you on medically UNNECESSARY things you don't need than treating you. Dr. Jamsheed and all the other dentists under him (including Dr. Safende) should be ASHAMED of themselves as medical providers and take a look in the mirror and reflect why their ethics gone down the drain in place of money. My experience: My teeth have generally been quite healthy over my life, I came in for their $79 cleaning special and wasn't sure what to expect. Got my X-rays done (the dental assistant was great!) and then I waited for the dentist. Dr. Safende comes and says I have no cavities, however I need: 1.) A deep cleaning 2.) To fix my overbite with a retainer/invisalign 3.) Bottom wisdom teeth removed. He doesn't ask me if I've ever had issues with my jaw, pressure or anything. Just immediately straight to the sales pitch of things no other dentist has ever told me that I needed. Total estimated cost $12,000+. During my visit I was introduced to 6 employees, (4 of which were there to sell me, baffling) Basically high pressure sales tactics done poorly. Yeah sure I "need" all of those things. Good thing I have dentists in the family who provided a second opinion and negate all the things that I "needed" to get done. The complete lack of ethics, the sales and marketing pushes to over treat are unfortunately common in modern dentistry. I feel awful that the other patients here are getting scammed and they are so unaware. It is very hard to find a trustworthy dentist, and trust me you will NOT find one here.

An Exceptional Dentist - Highly Recommended!…read more I cannot express enough gratitude to Dr. James Asaf for his outstanding care and professionalism. After experiencing serious dental problems and complications caused by previous dentists, I was fortunate to find Dr. Asaf. He was able to correct issues that other dentists had created and restore my confidence in dental care. Dr. Asaf is not only extremely knowledgeable and skilled, but also gentle, patient, compassionate, and genuinely caring. He takes the time to listen, explain every step, and make his patients feel comfortable and reassured. His attention to detail, dedication, and exceptional professionalism truly set him apart. I am incredibly grateful for everything he has done for me. Finding a dentist I can fully trust after everything I have been through is priceless. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Asaf to anyone looking for an exceptional dentist who truly cares about his patients!

LOOK NO FURTHER, your search ends here…read more Who really likes the dentist, if we're being honest. ME. I now can honestly say I like the dentist. I had an emergency (in my opinion) due to a lot of sudden discomfort and pain on one side of my mouth. They took me same day and the Dr. Came and sat with me, was SO PROFESSIONAL, confident, knowledgeable and more importantly: calming. The staff running the reception area is also extremely professional and accommodating. They're technology is state of the art, very updated. It's not like most offices I've been to that are extremely outdated. This one is bright, open, clean, and professional. I have. I have no reason to ever go anywhere else. They made a night guard for me right then and there. He determined I have TMJ ( which I kind of already knew), but instead of the lengthy process of creating a mold and sending it off, one of his employees did this new and fast method of creating one on the spot and it's really comfortable and I'm hoping it helps. Anyway, I feel when you have an extremely unexpected pleasant experience like the one I had this afternoon, it 100% warrants positive feedback.

Although the site said "free consultations", I went in and the Dr. spent less than 15 minutes just…read morelooking; no x-rays, no tools. Then gave me an outlandish price for what I wanted done. Then I found out he charged my insurance $250 and even after calling there twice, he has YET to return the money. This is like pulling $250 from my back pocket because it diminished my $2000 yearly by that amount.....which I had to pay cash. NOTE TO DOCTOR: SEND BACK THE MONEY....NEVER FORGET.

Instead I ended up with a deep cleaning and having to get my wisdom tooth removed. But the whole staff was friendly and kind, helping to calm my nerves and letting me know I'd be okay. I've never had a dentist like Carol, who explained the why and how of every process so I understood why the deep cleaning was necessary. Janae and Dr. Tony prepped and removed the tooth quickly and smoothly and I felt no pain! Recovery wasn't even as bad as I had been warned. These hygienists and front desk staff are top notch and I highly recommend them if you want to have the best teeth!

I'm writing this review with deep frustration and disappointment about All About Smile Dental,…read moreparticularly Peter, due to what I believe are deeply unethical and misleading business practices. I was clearly told that a procedure would be fully covered by my insurance, not once but multiple times. Peter is actually the one who scheduled the appointment 6 months in advance without first confirming if it would be covered or not. Based on that assurance, I agreed to move forward. Only after the procedure was done was I told that it was not covered -- and that I would need to pay out of pocket before leaving. This kind of bait-and-switch is completely unacceptable. I had previously referred several patients here, but after this experience, none of them will be returning, and I strongly advise others to stay far away. I will also be filing a formal complaint with my insurance provider and exploring options to report this situation. Their practice lacks transparency, professionalism, and basic respect for patient rights. I will never return, and I encourage others to seriously reconsider before trusting their dental care to this office. Please refer to other reviews given to this office and the new ownership and consider going to multiple other dental practices in the area. In addition, my friends have far better things to do than to be reviewing a random dental office they've never heard of. Please hire competent staff that can actually do their jobs and not just your husband. The other AWFUL reviews I've read in the past week are solely due to your incompetence and greed and have NOTHING to do with anyone I know (Please feel free to pull up their records in your system). Have some respect for yourself and learn to lead your life with better morals and values while you're at it and stop demeaning yourself over $100. Disgusting behavior.

My story is: I was with another dentist for many years. Loved that she was 'conservative'. Would occasionally have a situation where a tooth would hurt, she'd say it's fine, I'd be 'happy' but curious why it was hurting. Came a couple of times with scenarios like that to Dr Barsam for a second opinion. He would tell me what's wrong and what treatment I would need. Of course, I wanted to believe it's ok to watch and wait since that's what the other dentist had said. Lo and behold, Dr Barsam was always right. Every single time, his treatment plan was what ultimately ended up happening but after tooth infections and pain I didn't need to endure if I just listened to him the first time around. I am so happy he's my forever dentist since I trust him completely and know he's not too conservative but also wouldn't suggest anything I don't need. Also, I had gone to an oral surgeon earlier this year for a tooth extraction. Then, I needed one a couple weeks ago with Dr Barsam. Not only was Dr Barsam's extraction less painful, it healed quicker and felt better right away. The other oral surgeon did a PRP injection which is why I went there but I ended up paying more than twice as much at the other place for half the service and slower healing. Moving forward, I will do all specialty dental work with Dr Barsam as well.
