But during my time here, I always found everyone here friendly and attentive. Run by a husband-and-wife team, Dr. Farahmand does the dental exams while his wife serves as the dental hygienist. Equipment here is very new, and they even have personal tv monitors directly in front of you to watch shows on during your appointment. Only small gripe I had initially was after my first appointment when they got my address mixed up in their system and put in my former dentist's address in as my own. Imagine my surprised when I received a confused call one day from my former dentist informing me that Crown Dental sent them my dental bill.

When I stepped into this office, all the staff took note of my pain and treated me professionally and compassionately. The doctor was also very friendly and professional, he helped me take out the tooth, in a very efficient and neat way, with almost no pain. Especially when they conducted the preventive cleaning, the doctor and the assistant would work together, so the rinse equipment put in our mouths as other dental office may do would be manually operated and not hurt, which I appreciated very much. Also, the receptionists are very nice and efficient, they would check through the insurance and the expenses are fair enough. And the office itself is very clean, nice. So, overall, Bahrami Dental Office is surely a nice enough dental care office, especially after several experiences with other dentists around the area - actually in my opinion exactly because of the existence of the dental care provider like Bahrami so people could have more open and better access to the dental care. Highly recommend, especially when you have some unusual situation and need a caring office!

*PLS LOOK FOR A DENTAL OFFICE SOMEWHERE ELSE.*…read more THIS IS A **Cash Grabbing Dental Office**. I've always had a bad feeling about this place, and after today, I am completely done. My husband and I had been patients here, and while they were initially polite, it quickly became clear that they only care about you if they can bill your insurance. It felt like a business transaction rather than a genuine patient-focused experience. I made an appointment for my senior father, who is already fragile and has several medical issues. I confirmed his insurance details with Bertha, the coordinator, who assured me everything was good to go. However, when we arrived for the appointment, she suddenly claimed they couldn't find his insurance as active. Instead of offering an apology for the miscommunication, I was blamed for sending the wrong insurance information, despite not being informed of any issue before the day of the appointment. I was told in a condescending tone that other people just pay out of pocket, implying it was no big deal to them. The attitude was unprofessional and hurtful, and I felt completely discriminated against. Bertha clearly showed no value for the time spent or allotted to patients. This place is focused on money, not genuine care. I will never return, and I urge others to find a dental office that actually values their patients. Don't waste your time here.

Waited another 20 minutes to see Dentist. Was told needed x-rays although had them done 6 months ago and declined. Was informed they needed to do their own X-Rays and would wave the cost. (we will see if this is true after reading the other posts) Dentist comes into room and starts poking my gums, letting me know I need an immediate deep cleaning. Keep in mind my last dentists told me I had great gums and teeth for years. Im no Dentist, and we have to trust our experts. However, I feel they are using unnecessary expensive treatments. Basically it was going to be $875 for 2 treatments for a cleaning. Agreed to a basic Deep cleaning for $100 as they said I needed this immediately.

He has a nice calming presence and explains everything that is going to be happening before he gets started. The hygienist who does the general cleanings is lovely too, sorry I don't remember his name. Dr Fowler saw me last December without an appointment because of an abscess tooth he had told me to keep an eye on. It was a tooth with a crown from an old root canal, he pulled it out on the spot because it was infected. It healed wonderfully, and then in the end his office worked with me on an a relatively affordable option for a removable bridge because my insurance doesn't cover implants, and an implant would have been very expensive out of pocket. I'm very pleased with the result. I highly recommend choosing his practice!

I think it's normal for dentist offices to be slow, you should expect a wait anywhere and they serve a high number of patients. My appointment was at 9am and I finished X-rays and a cleaning at 10:45. They don't guarantee a cleaning at your first appointment but will try to fit you in the schedule. I was scared to go because of the reviews, but if you're kind and patient you can expect a good experience.

The facility in El Cerrito is horrible in my opinion. Here are the reasons why:…read more 1. There is an awful smell in the facility. In my opinion, it smells like mildew/mold. It's definitely worth a visit from the local health department. Several patients in the waiting area were coughing and my throat actually started burning after being inside just five minutes. 2. The waiting area is filthy. (I have photos.) It is not in good condition and it's apparent that it's not cleaned thoroughly. As a medical facility, this is unacceptable! The floor is disgusting. The area near the windows is covered in layers of dust and dirt. I don't believe they've ever cleaned their glass door. It's disgusting. I had an appointment at 8:00 am and to walk in as the first customer of the day to a dirty waiting room, is totally unacceptable. It's also proof that the facility wasn't thoroughly cleaned the day before. 3. They are never on time. I've had a wait even when I arrived 15 minutes early. This is unfortunate and clearly proves that they don't prioritize timeliness. 4. There are layers (literal layers) of dust and dirt on every blind. This is definitely not okay for patients that have respiratory problems or asthma. When was this facility last visited by the local health department? 5. I noticed many HIPAA violations by the front office staff. They openly discussed private patient info in front of a packed waiting room. This is unacceptable! According to their reviews, you can tell that my noticing isn't exaggerated. Do your due diligence and visit facilities before you make appointments. It's not okay to have to wait in an unsanitary space.

They then charged the same treatment to my insurance who paid also. I got a letter explaining what was paid and I was surprised at the double charge. I asked for details and was told by insurance that the office owes me a credit. I called to request a refund. The manager (Sofia) was defensive and hung up and double talked about the treatment and way the insurance was billed. The treatment was provided as in my case, as a recement, which was billed as seeing their doctor for pain - I had no pain but did see a dentist who charged me for her time to recement. That place is absurd in its charging/billing practices. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone.
