I saw Dr. Fred Harandi's commitment to professional excellence after recommended by a patient for…read moreover a decade.  Arriving with a tooth fractured while chewing, I feared Invisalign was needed again. Despite being an Invisalign provider, after assessing my bite digitally and manually Dr. Fred found my repeating that expense was unnecessary which showed integrity. Dr. Fred is reachable when necessary and communication with his team is simple, effective and responsive. Each member of Smile Dentistry's team is caring, friendly and supportive of your dental health. Both the hygienist and Dr. Fred recommended personalized dental care tips. Dr. Fred's exam techniques and technology choices attest to his advanced education at UCSD and USC. He explains your film findings and treatment options in simple terms for sound and lasting results.  Having TMJ, Dr. Fred examined my bite with articulating paper using the same methods as my Oral, Head and Neck Pathologist several counties away. I could not find a local practitioner skilled in these techniques. Dr. Fred took time fixing my bite to prevent further fractures without my feeling like a nuisance or rushed. Dr. Fred's digitizer results in crowns with a superior fit compared to standard impressions. When outside referral was necessary to other specialities, Dr. Fred personally ensured I received treatment soon and his entrusted network is equally advanced in training, technology and conscientiousness. All were in-network with my insurance which is uncommon. His welcoming other specialties' opinions further increased my trust. Each provider called me after major treatment checking on my recovery and answering questions.  Dr. Fred and his team are kind, patient and considerate and the office is inviting. Pricing is reasonable without pushing unnecessary aesthetic treatments. Thank you Dr. Fred and San Diego Smile Dentistry for patiently and gracefully returning my dental health.

Let me start by saying this office is probably fine for routine cleanings and cavities. I don't…read morethink Dr. Qadeer overdiagnoses, and I genuinely wanted to like this place. About two months ago, I had a crown done that I definitely needed. Before the procedure, the only risk discussed was the possibility of needing a root canal because the decay was close to the nerve. I wish there had been a more thorough conversation about the crown process and potential complications beforehand. During the crown prep, I was surprised at how quickly Dr. Qadeer worked. I assumed maybe he was just very experienced, but in hindsight I think the procedure may have been rushed. Two weeks later, I still had pain and inflamed gums when I went in for the permanent crown. I was given a mouthwash that helped, the crown was placed, and I was told everything looked fine. About a month later, I returned for a cleaning and called ahead to say I was still having pain and wanted the tooth checked again. After another X-ray, Dr. Qadeer told me I needed surgery to lengthen the bone because the crown was not sealed correctly. I was shocked. He then claimed this had been discussed beforehand, which it had not, and said he hadn't mentioned it earlier because he wasn't sure until seeing the new X-ray. Quadeer blamed my anatomy not his work for the issue. He later offered to redo the crown at no cost. I reached out to two close friends from college who are dentists -- one an endodontist and one a general dentist who does crowns regularly. Both felt the tooth was likely a difficult case but that surgery sounded excessive. They also pointed out that the issue on the X-ray was already visible when the crown was originally cemented. We decided I should see an endodontist they recommended and trusted. He performed the root canal and prepared the tooth for a replacement crown, since doing additional work on the original crown would likely continue irritating the tooth. I then returned to Dr. Qadeer to redo the crown. During that visit, he still would not take accountability for what happened. He repeatedly said he didn't want to work on my tooth if I didn't trust him, which made the interaction uncomfortable. How could I fully trust him at this point? My permanent crown was delivered this week, and my dentist friends said it looks perfect. I do think Dr. Qadeer is capable of good work. My issue is more with how this situation was handled. If he had simply acknowledged it was a difficult case and said the crown needed to be redone, I would have understood. Instead, the responsibility was consistently shifted to my anatomy or to "not seeing it" earlier. Dentistry requires a great deal of trust, and once that trust is lost, it's hard to regain. I appreciate that he offered to redo the crown at no cost, but overall I left disappointed. My impression is that he prioritizes quantity over quality and that can become a problem when a case requires more time and attention.

I've always been a little self-conscious about my smile, and after putting it off for way too long,…read moreI finally scheduled a consultation with Dr. Eshom. I'm so glad I did. The price was reasonable, and what really stood out to me was that he actually did all the work himself. At other dentist offices, I rarely ever saw the actual dentist, so this was a huge difference. The results blew my expectations. His attention to detail and the care he puts into his work really shows. The whole experience was comfortable; they even give you a warm neck wrap during treatment, which sounds small, but it makes a big difference. There was zero pain, everything was quick, and I left feeling more confident than I have in years. Highly recommend stopping the procrastination and finally getting the smile you've been wanting. Dr. Eshom made the entire process easy, comfortable, and absolutely worth it.

I completely trust him with my dental care. He lets me know what he sees as concerning and will be keeping an eye on and always answers any questions I have. Dr. Shah also does a great job of explaining what might need to be done in the future and what my insurance will cover so I can plan for it. Today I chipped my front tooth and was able to come in same day to have a filling put in. I left the office in happy tears because my front tooth looked so good and it was all done so quickly.
