My dentist said it was placed too close to the edge of the bone, so there is zero bone left. I am not surprised. THIS GUY NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN. He clearly doesn't know what he is doing. Stay away!

After one experience…read morewhere a dentist could not get me numb, which resulted in several attempts to drill, screams, then another shot of Novocain - then same thing ax's 4, I'm literally petrified. Even teeth cleaning is painful for my super sensitive gums and teeth. Jennifer is the best dental hygienist and I will not see anyone else. Ever. She knows my sensitivity and fears and does everything to make the process pain And stress free. She puts a numbing paste around gums of sensitive spots, let's me wear the heavy leaded vest during my cleaning which acts like a weighted blanket to calm me. Genius! Constantly checks in to see how I'm doing, if I need a break. She is so caring and expertly skilled that I choose the dentist office based on where she works. While I've gone to Portland Dental Works for 20 years, I've just started seeing Dr. Afshar who is very kind, straight forward, patient and provides very detailed and easy to understand treatment processes. To date, he has not performed any dental work, just exams. Unfortunately two of my crowns have to be replaced so appointments have been scheduled to start the process. I'll update my review once this has occurred. This office is closed on Fridays but I've never had any issues with getting call backs and have found the current and previous receptionist to be friendly, prompt in returning calls, and helpful when scheduling appointments. Once when I had to cancel appointment with less than 24 hours Notice due to an emergency they charged me $35. I understand the need for cancellation fees because it's a full hour where they could not bill for a service and could have had another client. When I explained the emergency, they removed the charge. During Covid-19; they are taking all precautions and I felt safe being in the office and having my teeth cleaned. And felt so good afterwards! I have them cleaned every 4 months and was scheduled in March so had to delay, and have never gone that long. They are covered by my individual Met Life insurance plan; I actually made sure they were in Network before purchasing the insurance.

The hygienist knew exactly when to give me the suction tube, and used some topical anesthetic to make the deeper cleaning bits easier.

The only con I can think of is that the office is more expensive than the ones I've been to before, so I'm going to visit the OHSU dental clinic to get my cavities filled. But if you have dental insurance, don't think twice before coming here!

My family and I have been going to Dr. Smith and before that her dad Dr. Stoinoff. She is…read moreterrific. She is probably the best dental anesthesiologist. When she injects novocaine into gums, you barely notice. Also, she won't do work on your teeth if you don't need it. She'll tell you things like "Yeah, I a little concerned about this right here... but come back in 6 months and let's take a look." Her focus is cosmetic dentistry, so if you want your teeth to look good, you need to see her. One problem however with Dr. Smith is that she is so good, it might be hard to see her. Like all good dentists, they eventually start working only 3-4 days a week and reduce what insurance plans they accept. Honestly, I wished she expanded her practice to mentor more dentists or went into teaching at university. A great dentist like her has an obligation to pass on what she knows.

Title: 70 Years of Family Care Down the Drain - Beware of the New Management…read more I have been a loyal patient at Whole Health Dentistry for 70 years, starting back when I was ten years old under Dr. Harry Stoinoff. When he retired, his daughter, Dr. Susan Smith, took over, modernized the clinic, and maintained the exact same extraordinary standard of warmth and excellence. Even after Dr. Jang stepped in, the practice remained top-tier, and you always felt like family the moment you walked through the door. That proud history is officially over. The practice has changed hands once again, and the shift in environment is night and day. My recent appointment with the new dentist, Dr. Karen Ghatore, was easily the worst experience I've had in seven decades. I found her to be remarkably arrogant, cold, and entirely uninterested in patient connection. Instead of treating me like a long-term patient or respecting a lifetime of dedicated care at this office, I felt talked down to like a child. During my visit, she recommended extensive treatment and procedures that felt completely unnecessary compared to my decades of consistent routine care. The family feel, trust, and patient-first focus that built this practice over generations have completely vanished. After 70 years, I am officially leaving Whole Health Dentistry. If you value clear communication, respect, and a practice where you feel valued as a patient, proceed with caution.

Genuinely disappointed in our experience here. But giving 2 stars vs 1 because most of the staff is super kind and seem like good people. The issue came when I requested a call with Dr. Garfinkle himself to get his perspective on a possible different course of treatment for my 11 year old son. My son has very crowded teeth and an overbite, so I'd been doing some exploring/learning on my own about palatal expanders and airway orthodontics. I'm not an expert by any stretch but I'd been talking to some other parents whose kids had expanders and researching online, so I wanted Dr. Garfinkle's professional opinion. Up until this point we'd just been coming in for annual visits, counting down the amount of teeth my son needed to lose before he could get braces. I was particularly interested because I'd been reading about the benefits of expansion for kids with allergic rhinitis, which my son has always had. Chronic congestion and sneezing for YEARS. The first thing Dr. Garfinkle asked me when we got on the phone and I explained my questions was "I'm sorry, but what do you do for a living?" seeming to imply that I wasn't qualified to have an opinion on the matter. I told him what I did for a living then asked why he was asking and he said "oh nothing, nevermind." When I then told him that I was curious about my kids' friends who had expanders and wondered when they get prescribed vs not, he told me that expanders "aren't about keeping up with the joneses." Moreover, that I should be careful about believing what I read about airway orthodontics because "it's not actually a real thing." I could go on and on about our conversation and how Dr. Garfinkle showed up, but what struck me most was how close minded this doctor seemed to multiple schools of thought, alternative approaches, and emerging science. Disappointing, and not the kind of old school practitioners I'm interested in for my son, especially in such a rapidly advancing world. There's a happy ending though! I'm SO HAPPY to say I found myself at a new orthodontist who, first thing, did much more comprehensive scans and said my son had a super narrow palette, and was a classic case of a kid who would benefit from expansion before braces. Within DAYS of getting the appliance his airway was more open. This is a kid who was constantly congested and sneezing for years, and since expansion, his breathing sounds *clear* and he hardly sneezes at all. I'm so grateful I trusted my intuition, rather than listening to a doctor who's first response to my curiosity was questioning what I did for a living. My 11 year old wanted me to make sure I quoted him: "I feel like my expander has changed the way I breathe and I feel overall better. And I'm so glad we left this place and went somewhere better."

I had an unfortunate experience with Dr. Garfinkle. I have a severe underbite that needed…read moreorthodontia and surgery, to correct biting, chewing, speaking and other functional issues. Rather than suggest a conservative approach with braces, Dr. Garfinkle approved an accelerated 4-day aligner change not approved by Invisalign. I purchased a device to speed up tooth movement, but it was never provided until a few months into treatment. My tooth moved too fast and I developed an extremely abscess. I lost 90 percent of the bone in the tooth. Dr. Garfinkle or his insurance company has failed to remediate the matter reasonably, despite the Oregon Board of Dentistry issuing a "Letter of Concern." In addition to failing to monitor my periodontal health, Dr. Garfinkle apparently had issues with cleaning his dental instruments. Be very cautious about commencing treatment with Dr. Garfinkle. Once I paid him, I never saw him again, only his associate. His ego is immense and likely led him to be unwilling to resolve this matter with compassion and integrity. Go elsewhere, please. Especially if you have a complicated surgical case.
