Who loves going to their dentist/periodontist? The feeling of low volt electricity in your sensitive gums (as they use that high powered water thingie), the scraping between ur teeth that sounds like nails down a chalkboard, the probing of your gums (and relaying 3, 3, 3s!) and the sound of a drill while your teeth are getting polished...yikes....Well, I guess I do? I must be a glutton for punishment...a necessary evil I suppose and I opt to do it on a regular basis...well, kudos to my regular, dental hygienist for performing this 4 month ritual (hey I have a good dental plan!)...despite the unpleasantries of my hour stay, Karen is gentle, calming and a true professional! Other than the reminders (more embarrassment) of floss, floss, floss it's not that bad! Dr Fujinaka always checks on his patients - friendly, down to earth and just a great guy and awesome periodontist...all I can say is he better not retire any time soon or I'll have to cram in some 'not needed' gum grafting for just in case to ensure it's done right! Highly recommend if your regular dentist tells you you have excellent teeth (2 fillings my whole life!) but there's concern with your gums...sigh. After seeing Dr Fujinaka for almost 5 yrs now I feel confident my gums are healthy! Yeah it could be better (need those 1s and 2s when they probe my gums) but much improved if I just flossed more regularly. Staff very friendly, appointment scheduling easy, and office (with a beautiful zen garden) is conveniently located off I-580 with plenty of lot parking

Fujinaka does not explain procedures. They never call after procedures to check on healing. The office staff is unresponsive and rude.

The level of patient care/professionalism from the whole crew from reception to Glenn and Trevor was so impressive.

Dr. Malboubi kept the money, didn't deliver, and said he "did not guarantee a good result". In…read moreparticular, (Malboubi DDS) extracted my tooth #19 in February 2022 and stated that a bone graft would be placed to prepare the site for a future implant. Within days, the graft failed. I contacted his office because a white, sand-like material was coming out of the extraction site. When I returned for evaluation, I was told not to worry. Dr. Malboubi billed my insurance and also charged me approximately $400 out of pocket, above allowable fees. Over time, the bone in that area appeared extremely narrow and deficient--consistent with a failed or ineffective bone graft. Three months later, I consulted another periodontist who confirmed that the site was not suitable for an implant and required corrective surgery. That remediation procedure was more painful, more complex, and cost me an additional ~$2,000. I requested reimbursement for the failed graft and provided Dr. Malboubi with the records from the corrective surgery, as he requested. After reviewing them, he refused any refund, stating that he "did not guarantee a good result." Additionally, Dr. Malboubi billed both my primary and secondary dental insurance for the same procedure without informing the secondary insurer that the primary had already paid. I am posting this review years later because I spent a long time trying to resolve this matter directly with Dr. Malboubi, without success. I have had four bone grafts performed by two other dentists over the years, and none of them failed. The only bone graft failure I experienced was the one performed by Malboubi DDS.

I then requested for her to call me when it was convenient for her, she said no because she may forget so it's better for me to call in 10 minutes. Absolutely unprofessional!

I came here five years ago and had such a horrible experience that I still remember it and must…read moreshare with others. I was referred here for gum recession by my dentist and I had Delta Dental insurance. Dr. Kwan looked at my gums for what seemed like mere minutes. He said that I didn't need treatment but didn't offer any other helpful suggestions or reasons. The worse thing was that him and his office were so eager for money that they didn't even ask for my insurance even though my insurance would have covered my exam fully. They wanted my money immediately. I was billed 100 dollars which I paid out of pocket simply because they did not want to spend time dealing with my insurance paperwork. Of course they didn't discuss any of this before I committed to the 100 dollar exam that lasted five minutes or less. Five years later, I told my dentist this week to refer me to a new peridontist and this other office actually used my insurance which meant that I didn't have to pay anything for my exam, got a real exam that lasted almost an hour instead of minutes, and got suggestions and a treatment plan where the financial aspects were actually worked out to my advantage! Stay away unless you want to deal with someone who seems to care more about money and fast money instead of caring for your gum health! Also, the office management is poor too and that just says a lot about what kind of business this is.

This is a wonderful office. Dr. Kwan and his staff are always friendly and happy. I have spent…read moremany hours in the chair in their office, getting two implants. One of the implants became loose resulting in the whole procedure starting over again (this implant was begun by a different Endodontist the year before). Dr. Kwan followed up fully and gave me great service. I am still going for follow up. If I need another implant (I hope not!) This is where I will go. I highly recommend this practice.

I wish I could give this dentist office a minus 5. The staff is either incompetent or they are…read morescam artists. When I checked in with the receptionist, I was told that my insurance plan was not excepted there and I would need to pay the full amount for the consultation up front. I paid for the visit, which was a total of 5 minutes with DR Yuri Veber ( who was very unconcerned with my case, I had no plans to return). Months later , they call me about an outstanding balance. Now they are telling me that my insurance denied my claim. WHAT CLAIM? Well, it turns out, they submitted a claim 5 months after my visit (WHY?). These people submitted a claim without my knowledge or consent. I am convinced that there is fraud going on in this office.

I am super disappointed with this offices management of insurance. After calling and asking if my…read moreinstance is covered and told "yes of course", I took off work and came into the office. As soon as I sat down in the chair I was told that my insurance was not actually taken here and so I left without services. Despite that; I have been emailed and texted about a bill for "my services". I have spoken to several employees and they have told me they would elevate the issue so that it could be resolved and yet; months later I am still getting texts from their office. If you want services without the insurance mess from poor management and communication, avoid this office.
