I came to the clinic in severe dental pain, with a history of chronic illness (including an ICD and…read moreLong QT Syndrome), long-term medical trauma, DV situations, and financial hardships that have made accessing dental care more difficult throughout my life. I was 100% honest and embarrassed by these circumstances and was promised I would be met with zero judgment in the care I received. At first, everyone was reassuring and approaching me with care, because they could tell that I was nervous. They recognized my anxiety very quickly. I fully understood prior to my arrival that I need cardiology clearance to continue with a sedation or extraction. Thats why I only scheduled a visit for the New Patient Special-- it only includes your X-rays, an exam, and a cleaning. I didn't expect anything more or less. I tried explaining this to Dr. Farnam Farzam while he continued talking over me. He assumed I didn't want to hear anything he had to say to me when I grew sad after my exam results, and started asking me questions about why I can't get cardiac care or get there efficiently. He found himself unsatisfied with all of my answers and "couldn't believe" anything I was saying. He went so far as to ask, "So you just don't care about your health, or what?" and seemed to disregard my experience because he has "never heard of all that." When he asked if I had a driver's license to take myself to a cardiologist for dental clearance, I answered honestly: "No." Before I could explain that I only have a state ID, he interrupted and said, "So you're not a person or even a human being in the state of Texas? So, you don't EXIST here? So how did you get HERE today?" I nervously made it known, "I feel a little judged," and that's when Dr. Farnam Farzam became VERY irritated. I started to tear up from this spontaneous mood swing, which triggered him to inform me that I'm "not about to guilt trip him for being cautious." He then shoved his chair away, said "We're done here" and completely walked away from me. He threw his hand up and demanded that his wife, Dr. Melanie Farzam, made sure to issue me a full refund so I could "afford a taxi." Sitting there in tears, I ask her what just happened. I simply said "I feel a little judged" and that was the immediate response. I wasn't even rude. She tried explaining to me, without speaking to him, that he just meant my financial situation was being taken into consideration and that he wants me to use the money to get to another clinic with doctors to complete my care-- that if her daughter was extended that same grace, she would take it-- and that her husband "isn't angry" and "isn't a bad guy." Moments later, he returns and doesn't exchange any words with me. No cleaning ever was done. Dr. Melanie Farzam -- who remained professional -- closed the visit and explained my prescription to me. She even offered to call it in herself for my own comfort and walked me to the door. While I appreciate the immediate refund and Dr. Melanie Farzam's help, this experience was so incredibly dehumanizing and disheartening. I would not recommend Dr. Farnam H. Farzam to anyone, especially those with trauma history or financial hardship, who may need care and are seeking basic human decency. *I was also prescribed pain medication that I can't take due to my Long QT Syndrome. My condition was written clearly more than once and stated verbally multiple times. This is truly shocking after the insensitive spiel I was given about him "not wanting me to die in his chair" and how I'm a liability if he were to perform services I didn't ever ask him for.

I recently had my upper wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Nguyen. He was also great. I was a little nervous about the procedure. Dr. Nguyen was professional, knowledgeable, patient & friendly.

My visit to Adore was my first introduction to holistic dentistry--and I genuinely wish it hadn't…read morebeen. What could have been an informative and empowering experience quickly turned into a frustrating lesson in how profit can be disguised as patient care. The dentist hinted at some "serious concerns" during my exam, but rather than addressing them with transparency, she dangled the information like bait--only to reveal that I'd need to schedule another type of appointment (with an entirely different fee structure) if I wanted to hear the full story. That kind of manipulative upselling left me feeling more like a sales prospect than a patient. The final insult was being charged an additional $25 to access digital scans I had already paid $355 for. I'm not sure how withholding a patient's own medical records unless they pay an extra fee fits into the "holistic" ethos, but it certainly didn't feel ethical. Thankfully, I visited another holistic dentist soon after and had a completely different (and far more respectful) experience. Had I not done so, this visit to Adore would have left a bad taste in my mouth of holistic care--no pun intended. I'd advise others to do their homework and choose a provider whose priority is truly your health--not just your wallet.

I would like to start by giving a special thank you to Dr. Charbel Saba for the incredible care,…read moreprofessionalism, and compassion he showed throughout Daniel's dental journey. When I first came to Echeverri Dental Center, I had many concerns. I had already seen three different dentists who did not feel comfortable performing Daniel's dental treatment under anesthesia in their own clinics and recommended that Daniel have the procedure done under general anesthesia in a hospital setting. That recommendation led me to Dr. Saba. From the very beginning, Dr. Saba made me feel confident and comfortable. He met with me twice before the procedure, took the time to answer all of my questions, explained everything, and gave me the reassurance I needed to know that Daniel was in the right hands. Daniel had his dental surgery at Texas Children's Hospital on May 13th, and everything went successfully. Before the surgery, during the procedure, and throughout his recovery, Dr. Saba continued to provide support, reassurance, and excellent care. As a mother, the most important thing is knowing your child is safe, and Dr. Saba truly gave me that peace of mind. I also want to give a special thank you to Alicia for all the amazing work she did behind the scenes coordinating everything with Texas Children's Hospital and making sure the entire process went smoothly. A big thank you as well to Gloria and Elizabeth, RDA, Dr. Saba's assistants, for their kindness, patience, support, and dedication throughout Daniel's journey. Thank you Dr. Saba, Alicia, Gloria, Elizabeth, and the entire team for your professionalism, compassion, and for treating Daniel with so much care. We are truly grateful for everything you did for our family. I highly recommend this office!

I cannot emphasize how strongly I advise against seeking dental care at Echeveri Dental.  My…read morehusband went in to get a chipped tooth fixed and ended up with a botched root can and swollen face.   Complications: My husband had to deal with a painful infection with swelling, all due to the incompetence displayed by the attending dentist who advised him that this sort of 'swelling' was normal.  It was not! Misleading Consultation: Despite my husbands limited English proficiency, he was coerced by the dentist that he needed a root canal, presenting it as a 'normal and simple" procedure.  Poor Execution: The dentist failed to properly perform the root canal, leaving metal remnants in my husband's gums which led to serious complications.  Financial Burden: Correcting this mistake has already cost us $3000 to have the root canal retreated by a competent medical professional, and the medical ordeal is far from over

They're located off the Katy Freeway near IKEA, on the south side between Wirt and Antoine. The office shares a parking lot with Memorial Tacos, a dry cleaner, and some boutique shops. The parking lot is spacious, so parking is never an issue. Inside, everything is spotless and modern. The front desk staff are always kind, competent, and welcoming. Their hygienists are amazing -- especially Shauna, who is both personable and incredibly skilled. And both Dr. Tran and Dr. Nguyen are outstanding. They're highly competent, never push unnecessary services, and take the time to explain everything clearly. I've been coming here for years, and they've redone a few old fillings from decades ago with excellent results. I always leave feeling confident in their work -- and with a nice little goody bag! The advice they've given me over the years has actually worked, and my dental health is better because of it. I sincerely hope Dr. Tran and Dr. Nguyen keep practicing for a long time, because I'll be coming here for life -- and so will my kids when they're grown.
