I was referred here when I experienced tenderness during drilling and my dentist told me I needed a…read moreroot canal. I didn't realize at the time that this was an incredibly aggressive diagnosis: He didn't take the time to find out whether I had the actual symptoms associated with an infected tooth. Regardless, I went to this practice. When I mentioned to Dr. Majlessi what the dentist had written on the referral--that he couldn't get me numb--she said, "Oh, we don't need to do any tests. You definitely need a root canal." Like an idiot, I trusted her. Now that I've had this procedure, I truly understand what a devastating, last-ditch option it is (I've been told off-handedly by a few dentists that I could, whoops, lose my tooth and need an implant quite easily). I'm horrified that a trained professional would waive the testing required to know if an invasive, expensive, and potentially destructive surgery is necessary. I've suffered pain and discomfort in the years following and expect that I'll suffer more and be tens of thousands of dollars poorer down the road because of something I very well may not have needed. The kicker was when I got a bill for $150 more than a year later from a procedure they implied my insurance would cover. This practice has a sign in their office saying that they were rated highly by the community in the 1990s. They might want to think about how that looks more than 30 years later.

My experience with Dr. Abdullah was not a good one. I was referred to him (an endodontist) because…read moremy dentist thought I may need a root canal. I ended up not having one but it was very possible at one point. Dr. Abdullah treated me with respect, but his poor assistants. I have never witnessed someone be such an a-hole to their assistants for no reason. Like, his assistant gave him the wrong cotton ball and he basically called her an idiot. That is not a good way to make your patients feel comfortable. I seriously felt like telling him to calm down. With the potential root canal, I was having severe tooth pain throughout the left side of my mouth... actually, more like face. I was fairly sure for a while that I would need a root canal since the pain was excruciating and ongoing for over a month and my dentist suspected the same. I was taking advil around the clock, setting my alarm so I could take the next dose every 6 hours before the previous dose wore off and I was in such pain that I couldn't open my eyes. I told this to Dr. Abdullah and made sure to take advil before my appointment so that he could work in my mouth without me crying tears of pain. BIG MISTAKE. Dr. Abdullah basically said "Well, you don't look like you're in much pain. I don't think you need a root canal... BUT you have an extra tooth showing in your x-ray so I'm going to refer you to an oral surgeon downstairs." I could not believe what I heard. I told him the reason I wasn't dying was because I took Advil before and he didn't seem to care. Not only did he dismiss my concerns, he was going to send me to an oral surgeon for something that was a unimportant given the painful situation I was in. He also would not give me anything for the pain, even after explaining to him how harsh the Advil was getting on my stomach. He said to try Tylenol... as if I hadn't tried that already! Dr. Abdullah made me feel like a drug-seeking hypochondriac. I would not recommend Dr. Abdullah. I think most people look for a doctor who will listen to them and be at least a tad empathetic. You won't get either. For all I know, this guy is the Picasso of root canals. But it's irrelevant when you do not listen to your patients.

The head dentist has done some intensive work on my mouth over the years (even though the aesthetics were not the best). I often complained about my smile as I told Dr. K I NOT LIKE my smile (based on the work he did). Recently, the head dentist performed what I feel was faulty bridge work over implants. I paid quite a bit out of pocket for the dental work. The bridge failed in 6 months (this work should have lasted many years); besides that the work looked poor & I was uncomfortable with my smile). I reached out to the practice about fixing the faulty work and addressing the aesthetics. The dentist agreed to see me but stated because my insurance changed, to repair or even review his faulty work the visit would be OUT OF POCKET! Why should I have to pay this dentist again to fix his faulty work? I declined to accept the appointment. I have paid him more than enough money over what must be 20 years. Patronize this practice at your own risk but don't expect a perfect or quality smile. I will not recommend another person to this practice (sorry if I recommended you & it was not a good result/experience). Signed, Ms. Seriously Disappointed

The hygienists were great and the dentist himself was very professional and friendly. He starts with a little chit chat then dives in, he never probed too much about personal life but does try to make you comfortable. My first time I went in for a routine cleaning and he could tell I had not gotten a cleaning in a couple of years. He didn't make me feel bad just reminded me that it was necessary, and he spent extra time to clean my teeth one by one to chip off all the excess plaque! By the end of it my teeth felt like they were made up of individual tooth, sooo clean! And they gave me a toothbrush, small travel toothpaste, and a small travel size floss set after each cleaning (score! replenishes my travel toiletry ;)). I really like him and I really like the office personnel. They seem to take all insurance. And they will do their best to see what the insurance does cover and let you know. They have never seem "too busy to help". Very friendly place. They are open a little late on Tuesdays to accommodate those that can't make their regular weekday hours, which is what I have to take advantage of. They are open Saturdays too but not Sunday. they are located right next to the lake at the bottom of the steps, I almost missed it the first time. Be sure to arrive just a tad early to fill in paperwork, they always make you do that too see if anything has changed. From my experience, they are usually on time, and I leave the office within an hour. I really like that they don't rush. I think I've found my dentist :)

Thank you for your response. I would just like to clarify a few things because I believe there is…read moresome misunderstanding regarding what actually happened. First, there were no multiple text reminders as stated in your message. Also, I have no issue with your policy of not scheduling multiple family members on the same day. That was never the concern I raised. My concern is specifically about the communication and customer service I have repeatedly experienced from the front desk. I normally call several days in advance sometimes even a week ahead to reschedule or adjust appointments when necessary. On this particular occasion, my son had an oncology appointment, and I called three days before our scheduled appointment to explain the situation and make an adjustment. Unfortunately, I was not given a meaningful opportunity to explain my concern or properly address the scheduling issue. This has not been an isolated experience. I have encountered similar communication problems more than once, twice, or even three times. That repeated experience is what led me to raise the concern in the first place. I also want to clarify your statement that we called after the appointment time. I personally called three days before the appointment. Because I was unable to properly address the matter with the front desk at that time, my husband later called on the day of the appointment. I have documentation showing that I called your office three days beforehand, and I am happy to provide it if necessary. Based on your response, it appears that the information communicated to you about what happened may not have included my earlier attempt to contact the office. That communication issue is actually part of the concern I was trying to bring to your attention. I fully understand that your office expects patients to respect its time, and I agree. At the same time, patients should also be given an opportunity to communicate legitimate scheduling issues and should be treated respectfully when doing so. Thank you for your response. I simply wanted to make sure the facts were clear.
