********PLEASE READ**********…read more After months of frustration and pain dealing with other dental offices that refused to perform a simple extraction--while instead pushing costly additional services--I finally found Olive Dental, and I am beyond grateful that I did. I came in experiencing extreme pain, and from the moment I arrived, I was treated with kindness, patience, and genuine care. The front receptionist, Blanca, was incredibly patient and persistent while working through an insurance issue caused by the spelling of my name. She never gave up, and I truly appreciated her dedication and calm professionalism. Dr. T was nothing short of a godsend. He listened--really listened--to me. He acknowledged my pain and even shared that he had experienced the same type of pain himself in the past, which made me feel seen and understood. The procedure itself was 100% pain-free, which honestly felt unbelievable considering the level of pain I was in beforehand. Dr. T was gentle, thorough, honest, and focused on what I actually needed. The extraction was affordable, worked smoothly with my insurance, and most importantly, gave me real relief. The dental hygienist and staff were also extremely kind, gentle, informative, and patient throughout the entire process. I was given clear instructions and all the tools I needed for a smooth, comfortable, and quick recovery. After everything I've been through over the last four months with dental offices that made me feel dismissed, Olive Dental restored my faith in honest, ethical dental care. If you are looking for a professional, compassionate dentist and staff who truly listen to their patients, I highly recommend giving Olive Dental a call. Thank you to Dr. T, Blanca, and the entire Olive Dental team. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

From the initial consultation to the procedure itself and all the way through the healing process, everything has been smooth and well organized. Dr. Shimane was professional, thorough, and reassuring every step of the way, which really put my mom at ease. The staff was also friendly and helpful, making the entire process stress-free.

The office was easy to find, beautifully designed, and had a peaceful, calming atmosphere -- perfect for parents and little ones alike. Our newborn son had a severe lip and tongue tie, and we were nervous. Dr. Yazdi took the time to thoroughly explain the condition, using clear examples so we could truly understand what was going on and what our options were. He never rushed us or tried to push a decision -- instead, he gave us the time and space to decide what felt right for our family. We decided to move forward with the laser procedure, which took less than two minutes. Dr. Yazdi walked us through every step, made sure our son was comfortable, and carefully explained the recovery process. He even called us personally afterward to check in and ensure we had everything we needed to support our son's healing. It's rare to find a doctor who combines such expertise with genuine compassion, but Dr. Yazdi truly does. You can tell he loves what he does and deeply cares for his patients and their families. The entire team are absolute sweethearts and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. We are so thankful for the outstanding care our son received and would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Yazdi and his team to anyone looking for exceptional pediatric dental care!

We went for a tongue tie consultation for our bottle-fed 6-month old who has been "snacking"…read moreinstead of drinking large meals. What we got was a sales pitch for same-day lip tie and tongue tie surgeries. I didn't think that the doctor really listened or cared about the details of our or our child's experience. He took a couple photos and talked a lot. He threw around lots of unfamiliar medical terms and then gave patronizing analogies to explain the conclusion we should be coming to. The facility was clean and the people were friendly, but you should only come here if you've already decided to have the procedure done. It's hard to know who to trust because I've read online that lactation consultants get a kickback for referring patients to get this procedure (I cannot confirm myself). As feedback for the office, I would suggest sending something more professional than the buzzfeed style "55 reasons to get this surgery" blog post ahead of the initial visit; this was a red flag for me. You can also consider a more consultative approach but you might make less money.

The dentist is skilled and attentive and the procedures have been painless. My face did not feel droopy and numb after getting 5 filling in June, or sore after getting a cleaning today.

Thank you Highland Dental for always delivering a painless, and calm experience.

As the decision maker of healthcare providers for my family, I have NEVER once thought about leaving and going elsewhere... until today. I called to reschedule an appointment that the staff had cancelled earlier this month due to staff shortage. Someone named Margarita answered the phone, told me Traci moved, and proceeded to ask me to spell my name five times while trying to find my chart. When I pointed out that we'd been on the phone almost five minutes and all I've done is spell my name and I want just want to get the appointment scheduled and on with my work day, she said, "If you're going to be nasty, call me when you're not nasty," then hung up on me. WOW. I called back three more times asking to speak to Dr. Wong or Estella and she hung up on me THREE MORE times. I demand Margarita be reprimanded for her horrible customer service demeanor and apologize to me. That's just NOT how you EVER treat a customer that's been frequenting your practice for almost two decades with her three kids. IF Margarita is reprimanded and apologizes to me, I will return and edit this review to reflect the terrific service we've received by all on staff... until TODAY. I will not EVER accept being treated the way Margarita thinks it's okay to treat patients on the phone.
