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

Finding and going to the periodontist is always challenging and in these times of the pandemic, civil unrest and global tragedies, it's all the more important to find someone who has expertise, compassion and understands how managing self care can be difficult. Dr. Bashiri is a master periodontist -- I say that because from my first conversation with him, my encounter with his wonderful office and dental assistance staff I knew I was I was in good hands. Like so many of us who are getting older and we have to contemplate getting implants, keeping gum disease at bay; holding onto dental health --- finding a periodontist who is well informed, explains your options, listens to their patient clients and provides a sense of calmness, deliberateness and grace is pretty important. After seeing Dr. Bashiri for the first time I feel so confident that I am in excellent care. I cannot recommend him highly enough!! read more

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

Dr. Bashiri has a great chair side manner. He is as gentle as possible and was quite concerned about my comfort and not causing me pain. Nice referral from my Dentist. read more

Absolutely love it here! I highly recommend Dr Bashiri. His entire staff are amazing and very knowledgeable.

I recommend this practice. I have been a patient of Dr. Bashiri for over 25 years. He is a man of integrity. He doesn't sell you any services you do not need. For example, I have periodontal disease and have had a lot of gum loss over the years. For 25 years, Dr. Bashiri has been trying to save my teeth for as long as possible through routine monitoring. He could have tried to sell me dental implants but he never did. He explained the situation clearly. With diligence, we saved a tooth that could have been extracted years ago. read more

Great doctor! Great atmosphere! I like that Dr. Bashiri takes the time to explain everything in detail before and after the surgery. read more

Dr Bashiri is truly awesome. I felt very comfortable in his chair. My appointment was seamless, quick and I felt at ease the whole time. If you are looking for a friendly and professional office, that will take great care of you, I highly recommend him. read more

I had some pretty extensive gum surgery over two separate sessions. Dr Bashiri's team is a well oiled machine. Everything was on-time and professional. All my prescription meds were ordered ahead of time. The procedure itself went like clockwork and Dr Bashiri explained what he was doing and answered my questions. He also followed up with a phone call to make sure I was recovering as expected. A good experience if you need periodontal work. read more

Professional approach but personable and relaxed at the same time.

Dr. Farrokh Bashiri, provides superb periodontal evaluation, information and service. His staff, Katrina and Sarina are wonderful! I recommend Farrokh Bashiri, D.D.S. Inc. wholeheartedly read more

Dr. Bashiri was referred by my dentist, Dr. Stephen Stein in Concord. I saw Dr. Bashiri at his Concord office and he was great! He was very pleasant and explained what was going on with my tooth as well as what the treatment options are in easy to understand terms. The option we both think is the best does not involve further treatment from him but I'm very glad I came to him for the consultation. I would highly recommend! P.S. - Nancy at the front desk is wonderful as is the dental assistant (sorry - I can't remember her name!) read more

A very busy n understaffed office of 2, challenging & hard to get-in/appointments ie 2-3 months-out, perhaps due to CoVid, backups, etc, & practices/works alone out of his both/ 2-different EBay office-locations. Make sure to have all your questions n or concerns ready b4 hand. Accepts most dental-insurance plans. read more

Very pleased with my first visit. Nice folks in the office. Dr. Bashiri was both friendly and professional and gave me a feeling of confidence in his recommendations. Glad to have found them. read more

I visited Dr Bashiri for a consultation. He was very friendly and easy to talk with. I was advised that he would be sure I am not in pain when I have my next appointment. read more

The procedure that I needed in 3 different quadrants of my mouth is called an Osseous (pocket reduction) surgery. First, the office staff is extremely welcoming and caring. The receptionist is very personable. and the dental assistants were helpful in answering my questions. Before the procedure began, Dr. Bashiri clearly explained what was about to happen and answered a couple of questions that I had. Just as important was his body language. He sat on the stool and leaned back a if we were just going to have a conversation. No rush to start the surgery. Very relaxing for me. Dr. Bashiri gave me plenty of lidocaine. Very important! After waiting an appropriate time for the numbness to set in, he tested the gums to be sure that the lidocaine was effective for what was to follow. I've never had another dentist double check the anesthesia before proceeding. Now that was comforting. Dr. Bashiri moved apace, wasting no time, but I never got the sense that he was in a hurry. He was very efficient and clearly his focus was on me. He explained before he did anything what he was going to do. Knowing what was going on in my mouth was also comforting. AFter the procedure was completed, both he and his assistant reviewed the post-op instructions with me. My recovery from the first quadrant a month ago was without incident, and the bleeding and sore gums that brought me to Dr. Bashari was gone and has not come back. Today was my second of 3 procedures. I am looking forward to getting my issues solved with a final quadrant getting the work in a month. I can't recommend Dr. Bashiri and his staff more highly. read more

My visits to Dr. Bashiri have been great, if one can call going to the dentist "great!" I was referred to him by Dr. Lavassani for periodontal surgery. I had gone too long without getting my teeth cleaned, due to the lockdown, my dentist retiring, not wanting to go to the place Delta assigned me, and general procrastination and dread. I had a deep cleaning, involving stitching up my gums afterward, and an extraction. Everything went smoothly and it really wasn't that big a deal. I do not know the name of the wonderful assistant during the surgery, or I would personally thank her also. Katrina has been a great receptionist. She was off yesterday and Nancy from the Concord office was fantastic. I was able to get post-op prescriptions filled at CVS around the corner, so I didn't have to drive out to Kaiser Richmond, look for parking in a dark structure, etc. Dr. Bashiri and his staff are excellent. I understand why their waiting room is filled with what seem to be long time patients. They trust him, and their trust is well-founded. read more

I visited this office for a second opinion before a procedure. Everyone was very courteous and professional. I may not need to use this practice for the procedure but I recommend them nevertheless. read more

I was really nervous about the procedure I had done. Dr Bashiri was so kind and explained the whole process, reassuring me that he would prevent any pain and that the healing process would go well and quickly. He even called me later that night to check on me. The whole office is very kind and helpful. read more

Thank you Dr Bashiri and Katrina! I really appreciate you getting me in so quickly, unheard of!!! I highly recommend your services. I am looking forward to my next appointment. See you soon! read more

I had a wisdom tooth that was hurting me. Dr. Bashiri was able to see me for a consultation right away and said it needed to come out. The office staff was so nice! Not much more than a week later I was back to have it pulled. After waiting about 15 minutes for my face to get numb, he popped that tooth right out. I couldn't believe he was done already! I'm a very happy customer. read more

Katrina, the receptionist was very kind and welcoming. Dr. Bashiri is absolutely amazing. Went over what we need to do to correct my problems. Very personable and non judgemental. Would recommend him and his staff to anyone who needs a great periodontist. read more

The service was garbage! I had pain during the entire procedure and the periodontist made rude comments at the end of coring out an implant that was broken and told me to take ibuprofen for pain. Front office was less than hospitable. read more

I am giving this 5 stars for the service I received, not the discomfort I had during this process which was the most painful dental procedure I have yet had performed. I was referred to Dr. Bashiri by my wonderful dentist Dr. Kami. I had gums receding in the front of my lower teeth, probably from when I had braces as a kid. If you ever have to have this procedure done and they give you the choice of using your own tissue from the roof of your mouth, or from a cadaver, pick the latter. I don't remember being given the choice, so I got the former. It wasn't the front of my gums that hurt so much, it was the roof of my mouth. I won't go into it but if you really want to know, just ask. Dr. Bashiri and his staff were wonderful though. read more

I was referred here from my normal dentist for an examination. I was told that with my insurance it was going to have to pay $120, which I wasn't willing to do. The knocked it down to $90 and I agreed. I honestly didn't feel like they were doing me any favors, as I wouldn't have paid the $120 and they would have been out that, plus the money from my insurance. I month later I get a bill in the mail for an additional $60, so I ended up paying $150. My normal dentist never have a problem knowing what it is going to cost me, and I doubt these guys do either. There billing department is at best incompetent and at worse dishonest. All this was for a simple examination, not work done. Dentist are like mechanics, some are level with you and just fix what is needed, others tell you that you need a bunch of bogus fixes. The key is finding one you can trust. I do not trust Dr Bashiri. He told me I needed over $10,000 in dental work. Upon asking why I needed one of my wisdom teeth removed, he replied "well it's not doing anything so why not?", upon questioning another procedure, he asked me if my smile was important to me. Come on, really? The billing issue combined with vasts amount of work he told me I needed, combined with the slimy way he answered my questions makes me have absolutely zero trust. read more

Very professional office and knowledgeable staff. Covid Safe. One patient at a time.

December 23 2013...had a message from their office to call back..Talked to Katharina? who told me that all the charges had been waived...I thanked her and have added another star for them doing the right thing.... billings wise anyway...so it seems a bit like dental roulette..some people win some lose...I came out even.. read more

I was referred to Dr Bashiri by my dentist for specialized treatment. As Dr. Bashire and his staff will contest too, I was perhaps, one of their most anxious patients. They were wonderful, friendly, helpful and extremely patient. Dr. Bashiri did marvelous work, I really did not experience any pain. Post treatment and explanation was great. Thank you Dr. Bashiri & Staff read more

Dr. Bashiri came highly recommended by my dentist of 15 years and he recommended him because my dentist said that he performs just the right amount of treatment. I love that because the last thing I want to do is be overly aggressive when it comes to periodontal work. My gum graft procedure, which is the first surgery I've ever had in my life, went extremely smoothly and it is thanks to the calm and professional nature of Dr. Bashiri and his staff. thank you very much! read more

I had a very positive experience with this office. I was referred by my dentist for receding gums. The thought of gum graft surgery terrified me but I knew I couldn't put it off forever. Dr. Bashiri answered all my questions and put me at ease. The procedure itself was completely painless and the recovery was not a big deal. I had some discomfort but never any real pain, and ibuprofen for a few days was all I needed. The office staff is also wonderful. I hope I never need to see a Periodontist again but if I do, I'll come here without hesitation. read more

I had Dr. Bashiri perform crown lenghting surgery on 2 of my teeth. He was very nice ,gentle and quick and his staff was nice and accommodating . He also called me at the evening to check how I was feeling and I could hear in his voice that he really cares about his patients. read more

Dr. Bashiri is the BEST! I went in from a totally messed up gum graft that I had to re-do from another dentist. I was so frustrated that I had to do this procedure over again and was just feeling so angry that I had to go through all the pain and misery I did the first time. I went to see him and he was just SO much more knowledgeable, caring and overall better than the first dentist I went to. I was barely having any pain after Dr. Bashiri did it and I was able to go to work the next day! I am so pleased with my results and Im so grateful to have had Dr. Bashiri work on me. Great experience and I highly recommend. read more

I was treated with exquisite courtesy and professionalism. Dr. Bashiri took the time to carefully explain all my options. I highly recommend Dr. Bashiri. read more

Great office, very friendly staff. Dr. Bashiri cared for a deep pit in my gum and smoothed out the bone. Was as painless as possible and good instructions were given for post-procedure care. Most surprisingly, Dr. Bashiri called that night to find out how I was. Hope to post more after followup visit. read more

Had gum surgery with Dr. Bashiri. From the first appt, his office manager Katrina was so welcoming. Meeting the doctor was also a pleasure. The day of surgery he explained the entire procedure, His sense of humor and sincere care made me feel so at ease. For years I have been advised to get implants. Within a matter of minutes he explained the pros and cons of them that made me finally think about getting them. I believe it was from a place of concern that how much better my bite would be. He called that evening to check how everything was going, that type of concern doesn't happen in these times. Going to the dentist is never the appt you want to keep. From Katrina to the dental hygenist to Dr. Bashiri, their concern and patient care makes it an actual joy to go to the dentist. read more

Dr. Bashiri and his staff are really great. They treated me with respect and were very professional while still showing a bit of a sense of humor as appropriate. My procedure (relatively straight forward) went without a hitch. I would highly recommend them! read more

I am very disappointed in Dr. Bashiri. I was referred to him by my regular dentist. After reading all of his reviews I felt comfortable. His bed side manner was horrible. I asked many questions during my consult and he looked at me like I was asking dumb questions. He never said anything about needing stitches, all he would be doing was stretching the gum line. So the day of my procedure when his assistant said we needed to make a following appointment for suture removal, I said " I didn't know I was going to have stitches?" His response back was " You weren't listening were you?" Very arrogant towards me. Had the procedure. Went home and once the numbing wore off I was in tremendous pain so started on the pain meds he prescribed. He never once called checking on me. It was done on a Friday so here it was Friday evening, no one called from his office and the weekend was following. Went back in four days later to have stitches removed and he wasn't even there to do it or even look to see how I was doing. I will say this his office staff was very friendly and nice read more

I have NEVER had such a bad experience with any medical practitioner as I had with Dr. B. Expensive, arrogant and dismissive. I had extreme headaches for one month following the procedure which Dr. B told me couldn't be from his work. Not the smallest amount of empathy or accountability on his part. There were no aftercare instructions given and when I questioned this, was dismissed as a bad patient. .I spoke to my referral doctor at El Cerrito Dental about my experience, and afterwards received a hostile voicemail from Dr. B. Dr. B is handsome,charismatic and all surface. I suppose if things go correctly, you get good reviews on a practitioner. I was in the healthcare field for 35 years and I can recognize when there is something amiss, and trust me, i would be very,very cautious about using his services. There are many other options in his field. Oh yes, his front desk person was polite. read more

I came in for a very painful procedure but luckily both Dr. Bashiri and his staff were very kind and helpful. He is professional and solicitous and he followed up with me the day afterwards to make sure that I was healing ok. I definitely knew I was in good hands. His office can be a little hard to find if you're not familiar with the area (it's basically on the edge of the El Cerrito Plaza) but other than that I definitely recommend him! read more

Yep, they've continued to harass me and are now involving a collections agency. This place is EXTREMELY corrupt and if you use them you are volunteering to have them steal your money. I'm going to have to pay them for the sake of my credit score, but I will be sharing with every single person that I know that they are liars, including the dentist who sent me to them and everyone else that I interact with in the medical field locally. read more
