    The most rude and condescending person I have ever met. Short and snappy to his staff and rude to me. Go anywhere else!

    Edited to Add: I just left another office to get my tooth fixed and the dentist did not require…read morenumbing and it only cost $81. I would leave 0 stars if I could. This was honestly the worst medical experience I've ever had and I want to share my story with anyone who's willing to read it. I was a patient at this office for 3-4 years and initially had a very positive experience, particularly with Dr. Sydney Dawson. She repaired a chipped tooth with composite bonding and was transparent that it might need to be redone in the future. Since her departure, the overall experience has declined significantly. I've encountered multiple situations that felt like upselling, including a "deep cleaning" that did not match what was described by former hygienist Mia, as well as repeated recommendations for services I did not request or need. At a recent annual visit, I was encouraged by owner Dr. Sanaz Khaleghi to pursue Invisalign and replace existing amalgam fillings with more expensive ceramic options, despite having no issues with my current dental health. While recommendations are part of care, the level of persistence felt excessive and unnecessary. During my most recent visit to repair the same chipped tooth from three years ago, the experience escalated. Despite clearly declining more extensive treatment, I was repeatedly encouraged to consider a veneer or crown for a small chip. When discussing the composite repair with OM Vivian (or Hilda?), I was quoted $250 and told it would be treated as a cosmetic procedure. When I asked about my previous treatment, I saw in my chart that I had paid $88 for the same repair, with an original billed amount of approximately $1,200. A nearly threefold increase in out-of-pocket cost for the same procedure, without a meaningful change in treatment, is difficult to justify. When I calmly shared that the repeated recommendations were making me uncomfortable, the office manager reassured me that recommending a filling was not upselling and added that if the doctor HAD intended to upsell, she would have recommended a veneer. However, a veneer is exactly what Dr. Khaleghi recommended, which directly contradicts that statement and reinforces the serious concern with unnecessary upselling. When Dr. Khaleghi returned, the interaction became openly confrontational and it was only coming from her side. Instead of acknowledging the feedback, I was told there was an issue with "how I was saying things" regarding her recommendations and my concerns were dismissed. I was then told she was not comfortable proceeding without anesthesia, which I declined based on prior experience (because why would she need to NUMB me to replace a small piece of composite filling??), and the visit ended without care being provided. At that point, the issue was no longer about treatment. It was about how feedback was handled. Being challenged for respectfully expressing discomfort, rather than being heard, was both surprising and unacceptable in a healthcare setting. I shared as much with the front office before I left, who was apologetic. I do want to acknowledge that the front office staff and hygienists have consistently been kind and professional. Unfortunately, that consistency did not extend to the provider interaction that ultimately matters most. I have also noticed an increased push for patient reviews, which, in my experience, has not been matched by a willingness to genuinely listen to patient feedback. Asking for positive reviews while dismissing real concerns creates a disconnect that patients can clearly feel. As someone familiar with how dental organizations operate, I understand the balance between patient care and revenue. However, this experience felt far more focused on selling services than on building trust or providing patient-centered care. For that reason, I will not be returning.

    Horrible quality of care…read more My husband had his front teeth shaved down and capped, and within just six months one of the caps popped off and chipped twice. Instead of taking responsibility for their own work, the staff treats patients poorly especially when it comes to finances. The way they speak to patients who need to adjust or restructure financial plans is completely unacceptable. Threatening people about their balance going to collections is unnecessary, unprofessional, and none of their business. Insurance pays this office well, yet they still treat patients with zero dignity. Their priority should be fixing the mistakes in their own dental work and focusing on their patients' health, not lecturing people about finances. This office needs to do better.
