I really commend Dr. Bashiri, Katrina, and the rest of his team for their pure decency and respect toward their patients. In today's world of healthcare, where patient care can sometimes feel obsolete and the bottom dollar has become the priority, Dr. Bashiri has proven time and time again that he deeply cares about his patients, their health, and his work ethics. I would highly recommend anyone who feels there are no longer trustworthy healthcare providers to give his practice a chance. Thank you, Dr. Bashiri, for your compassion, professionalism, and dedication to truly caring for your patients. read more

Dr. Bashiri is thoughtful, communicative, and knowledgeable. I had a major gum procedure done, and throughout the entire process he walked me through every step, which kept me at ease from start to finish. Later that evening, he personally called to check in on how I was recovering, one of the rare moments I've genuinely felt cared for after a procedure. Thank you, Dr. Bashiri. read more

Customer service was outstanding. Dr. Bashiri is thorough and gets straight to the point. He prepares you for your procedure prior to doing it, so you are comfortable with what he's doing. A hidden gem right here in Albany? read more

Dr. Bashiri and his team always make what I expected to be a stressful visit surprisingly comfortable. He explained every step clearly and were very attentive to my concerns. He will refer me to the best specialists. Katrina at the front desk is especially professional, helpful, and knowledgeable--she makes scheduling and any insurance questions effortless. I'd highly recommend Dr. Bashiri to anyone needing periodontal care, especially if you're nervous about treatment. read more

Excellent visit and cleaning today. Jackie the dental hygienist is terrific. Helpful and pain free.

First visit review. I will update. Going to a periodontist means you have issues. Nobody enjoys this stuff. My long time dentist failed to send me to a specialist and so my mouth over the years got worse even under his constant care. When explaining what needs to be done to save some of my teeth Dr. Bashari was empathetic and really quite sweet. Trying to soften the blow for me. He was thorough in his exam and his treatment plan. He didn't make me feel weird when I cried. We have a long journey in front of us and I feel like I can trust him. Most importantly I feel like he actually wants to help me. See ya soon doc! read more

Dr. Bashiri is amazing. He is kind, compassionate, and cares for his patients. The front office staff (Katrina) was also amazing as well. Everyone in the office has phenomenal customer service.

Dr. Bashiri and Nancy (the office manager) are top flight dental providers. The are very courteous and helpful, with excellent followup care. It's worthy of mention that Nancy does a fine job of maximizing available insurance benefits, and she has a great sense of humor. I would strongly recommend their services . Thank you. Greg M. read more

Doctor did not like to explain diagnosis or answer questions. Did not make me feel comfortable or ready for procedure. Not coming back.

Very customer service oriented. The were very accommodating to meet an urgent need. Thank you

Love Dr Bashiri. I trust him. I say that about very few dentists. He's a good man and a good dentist who cares about his patients.

Once again, my experience exceeded my expectations. Dr. Bashiri and his team are competent, knowledgeable, efficient and empathetic! I recommend them highly. read more

The staff, Katrina and Dr. Bashiri very friendly/nice and make me more relaxed and confidence for my first visit. Dr. Bashiri explained everything to me very easily, professional and honest, make me easy to understand. I'm looking forward to get 1/2 of my issue done in a month and let see what happens. read more

Had an urgent dental issue and Dr. Bashiri worked me into his busy schedule. An extraction was performed in an incredibly painless and efficient manner. As a retired interventional cardiologist who performed procedures over many years I was totallly impressed with the office personnel, their empathy and professionalism. Excellent experience. Highly recommend Dr. Bashiri. Agustin A. MD read more

I was referred to Dr. Bashiri by my regular dentist, for gum surgery. Dr. Bashiri was very nice. He explained everything clearly. He performed the procedure quickly. He explained my post-surgical care and follow-up visit, and sent me home with written instructions. Very pleasant, very efficient. And his office was clean and staff was friendly. read more

I had consultations with three different periodontists. Dr Bashiri was the last one I met with and right away I knew that I could trust his opinion and experience. Dr Bashiri and everybody else in the practice are highly professional and caring. read more

Had some light dental surgery with Dr Bashiri. Couldn't ask for anything more for an experience. He was on time, he worked quickly and competently. He communicated what was happening each step of the way. It ended up being quick and easy and painless. He even checked in with a call later that night to see how things were going. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Bashiri is a seasoned periodontist who knows what he's doing. I had to have a somewhat painful and awkwardly positioned gum procedure, and he got it done cleanly. It's healing well. Katrina and the entire clinical team have been very accommodating as well. read more

Dr. Bashiri is by far the best doctor in town! The way he took his time explaining the procedure from day one and eased my anxiety. The surgical procedure was so much easier than having a deep cleaning. (I'm still shocked). Several hours later, he called and checked up on me to see how I was doing with the pain. (True, genuine and humble) It took me almost 2 years to overcome my fear visiting a periodontist because I had a horrible experience in the past. I'm so glad to have met Dr. Bashiri and his wonderful staff. I highly recommend Dr. Bashiri if you ever need periodontal work. read more

Dr. Bashiri's office is terrific! The office is clean, professional and everything ran on time, even with a late afternoon procedure. Everything was explained to me in advance; I knew what my co-pay would be; I received timely reminders, and Katrina made sure I had the medications I needed available post-surgery. My surgery was not entirely painless, but I don't imagine that was possible in my case (very low pain tolerance and a very extensive procedure). The recovery so far has been uncomfortable but not intolerable. I especially appreciated Dr. Bashiri's bedside manner. He made sure I understood the procedure and was patient, professional and also a warm and caring person, even phoning to check up on me post-surgery. I have had numerous dental procdures over my lifetime and I can vouch for the professionalism of Dr. Bashiri and his great staff. read more

Katrina and the whole staff are very caring and loving. I really like Dr Bashiri and his whole staff. The office is very inviting and warm. I look forward to working with them . read more

First time patient and my experience was great- good communication on diagnosis and treatment. Easy billing. Even better, no pain during surgery. Follow up to surgery coming .... read more

He's caring, professional, honest and easily explained everything to me, I highly recommend him if you need anything gum related.

This is a very efficient office using every computerized practice tool possible. I can't say enough positive things about his front office staff his receptionist is a jewel.. Dr Bashiri has treated me in the past quite successfully but now I'm back with another periodontal problem. He efficiently examined my mouth and recommended a new treatment His receptionist clearly explained the costs of the treatment and what my portion would be. I agreed and she scheduled an appointment for the procedure. read more

Dr. Bashiri is so kind, considerate and professional and does everything possible To minimize any pain. In fact, after having a pretty radical surgical procedure,I felt absolutely no pain, I don't know how he did that, I didn't even need Tylenol! Fortunately, they also take my insurance and Katrina in the office just makes everything run so smoothly which also builds trust and confidence. I'm really grateful for everyone there, thank you so much! read more

​I've had the very best experiences with Dr. Bashiri, and his hygienist, Jackie. Both of them are so personable, and take care to explain everything I needed to know, in a calm, easy, and friendly manner. I never knew going to the dentist could be such a pleasant experience. I'm truly in awe of the entire office staff! Thank you!! read more

I had a good experience with this dentist. And I know the status of my gum health. Which is good, by the way. read more

I am very impressed and appreciative of Dr. BASHIRI'S skill and kindness through my oral surgery experience! He explained everything before procedure and asked me if I had any questions or concerns. He works with confidence and efficiency allowing me to "relax" during the procedure. He let me know that we could take a break/pause if I needed to. Also, his office staff are very personable and helpful! I would highly recommend Dr Bashiri! PS: I received a follow-up call that evening asking me how I was doing and if I had any other questions! Wow, that's never happened before in all my 67 years! read more

I want to like him because he is close to where I live but every time I visit he REEKS of cigarettes anytime he gets close to you. His hands permeate the smell through the Ives and into your mouth.... No bedside manner either. Very cold and uncaring especially to women it seems... 0/10 would not recommend. Side note: I do really adore the front desk lady, she was so professional. The dentist assistant was so sweet too and so helpful. But the dentist himself? Well he just has such a strong smell of stale cigarette smoke and I was trying to suppress my gag reflex the whole time. I'm sure he's a good dentist though if you like being treated like a robot and don't mind the smoke smell!! read more

First off, I had Braces in the 80s and I hate going to Dentist! I went twice in the last 30 years. Needless to say, I needed some work! Dr Bashiri took out 2 Wisdom Teeth and My top 4 Front Teeth, and a Deep Cleaning. He promised Me I would feel No Pain. The Man lived up to His Word!! 1 hour later We were done! As far as pain afterwards.... I was sore. 1 day later... I stopped taking Ibuprofen, no swelling and I can even drink Ice water with very little discomfort! I highly recommend Dr Bashiri and His Staff!!! read more

From start to finish, amazing experience. Knowledgeable and proactive staff, everyone was super friendly, the doctor talked me through the exam and even showed me with a mirror what was going on, and even told me I didn't need the treatment that had been prescribed - in this day and age of folks assigning every procedure for a quick buck, this was super refreshing. Can't wait til the next time my gums need help so I can go again! read more

The whole experience was really nice. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Dr. Bashiri is very knowledgeable and explained all the options I had, which I was not aware of. read more

It was first time going to Dr. Bashiri's office. I was referred by my dentist to see Dr. Bashiri. The office is a bit small and a small waiting room with a total of 6 chairs, I believe. Dr. Bashiri was nice and very informative about what needs to be done with my problem teeth. Also, Katrina, the receptionist, is very friendly and sweet. She made me feel right at home. We chatted a bit as she was pulling up my information and new patient paperwork that I had filled out online prior to my appointment. She gave me the breakdown of the pricing with my insurance coverage for the procedures that I have to get done. So, the rating of three stars is due to the fact, it was my first time there and I arrived 15 mins early before my appointment time and was standing in the waiting room for someone to assist me. I literally waited 10-12 minutes before someone acknowledged I was standing there waiting to be helped. However, I have another appointment scheduled with Dr. Bashiri and a couple more appointments to be schedule in the future. So we'll see how everything goes and by then, I'll update another review. read more

My experience today was awesome. Dr. Bashiri, was on time to diagnose my issue. Dr Bashiri was clear and concise with his diagnosis and treatment options Dr. Bashiri did not make me feel bad about the state of my gums. In fact he was uplifting and positive. Which in my experiences is not always standard operating procedure with most dentists. Now lets talk about Katrina Katrina is pleasant, professional, efficient and truly cares about her patients. Katrina was super busy when I was there for my appointment on 2/1/2023. More importantly Katrina took the time to clearly explain my treatment options, as well as my actual out of pocket costs. Katrina did not try to "upsell" me on procedures that I did not need. Katrina let me come up with the plan forward on how to address my dental issues. Katrina treated me like an individual patient and not just an insurance claim. In closing I would like thank Katrina and Dr Bashiri for their ethical and professional care during my visit. I am a patient for life. Thank you thank you Humbly submitted Phillip Mitchell read more

Just left with my first Procedure everyone was very professional pain was not so bad looking forward to going back to get my work done soon

Thorough, painless, and easygoing examination. I trust this dentist so I'm eager to follow up with his recommendations so I can maintain the health of my wearyteeth. read more

The communication and office staff were timely and welcoming. Dr. Bashiri himself was careful, efficient, showed a great sense of humor, and explained my dental health in a straightforward way. I could tell, here's a guy who know's what he's doing, so I felt at ease. Best of all, he explained why I don't need treatment right now, so add to the list of recommending qualities that he's trustworthy, someone who puts the well-being of his patients first. I also like the location in Albany adjacent to El Cerrito Plaza. read more
