I was happy having my first son treated there and would have stayed until my younger son had a raging toothache. Crying after he ate, the works, he was in a lot of pain. He had a lot of work to be done. The dentist recommended sedation (which is why I went to him with my first kid). The only problem was he didn't have anything for 2 months! His other office in San Bernardino (since he's only in town one day a week) was still 6 weeks out. After discussion, he would do the worst one that hurt him with gas sedation, but the rest would have to be under general anesthesia. I had to shop around and found that my son didn't need general, he did great with gas, and everything got done. Since I went to another dentist and didn't need general, it cost almost $1500 less out of my pocket. I would have never known how much more the charges are here without having to look somewhere else.

TL/DR: my two children did not receive a welcoming experience, they made my son cry and upset me, the mother, and this office does not communicate well with themselves. First, my kids had awkward/stressful experiences there. My 8 year old daughter had expressed her nervousness to the assisstant that was about to do work on her teeth, and the tech merely squinted at her and said "...well I have to work on your teeth." Absolutely no reassurance for my child, just "well let's get it done." Luckily, she is used to the dentist and not that sensitive, but she noticed the way the tech treated her. It gets worse. My 5 year old son had his first appointment, and we even discussed this during his appointment that this is his first time. The assistant was very unprofessional. I mean REALLY unprofessional. My son simply wasn't ready to have someone clean his teeth yet, and the assistant insisted on trying to force him to get his teeth cleaned. My son was pushing her hands away and spitting out the toothpaste, to which the assistant seemed to have taken this personally and was telling my son to not spit at her. I tried to tell my son that he wouldn't get stickers if he couldn't let them do the work they needed to, because I'm mom and I can tell him that, however that ended up being a big mistake. To make things worse, and instead of just realizing he wasn't ready for a cleaning yet, she gets angry with my son's unwillingness to get his teeth cleaned, she tells him "Oh NO stickers for you!" The whiplash of how she changed her demeanor was so quick! My poor son bursted into tears, he didn't even care about the stickers, he just didn't want that lady around him anymore. I thought, "Wow lady, way to make your job harder!" I told her that was enough and we obviously needed to try again another time. I should have stopped her sooner but I was trying to give them a chance to be able to work together. I was so angry at the lady for treating him that way, I left and called back after chilling out a little bit and told them they are not to let that lady work on my son EVER. Funny enough I saw her again during my daughters second visit, and she couldn't even look me in the eye nor apologize. For descriptions sake because so you avoid her as well, she is the bigger black lady. I am bad with names and thats as simple as I can describe her. Unfortunately, I'm not even sure they will hold themselves to that, because they cannot even communicate properly in their office. What I mean is that this past week they've called me 3 times about my son's next appointment, 2 different people called at 2 different times. One woman had allowed us to reschedule for the next week. I received another call the next day from a different lady asking about my son's initial appointment time, to which I told her we already rescheduled. She said if we made the appointment for next week my insurance wouldn't cover it and we would have to reschedule for Sept. Now mind you we've had to change dentists over the years with moving, and I've NEVER heard of this. But I'm not worried because they said my son has no cavities so I'm in no rush to make him go back. I reschedule for September, and then the next day they call me and my husband about my son's appointment for the week that it was supposedly not going to be covered, when I had already rescheduled for Sept. There is so much wrong with this place it is certainly NOT worth your time or your kids mental peace. I can't believe this is a PEDIATRICS dentist honestly. We will never return and continue to warn parents about this place.

I brought my two year old in for a dental check up, before I made the appointment I let them know ahead of time that my son was not comfortable and may scream. The receptionist said that was no problem. During the appointment, my two year old was screaming, as expected. Dr. Salamati then turned to me and said "Is he autistic?". Surprised by this question, I replied "no" as he has not been diagnosed nor screened for this. Continuing the appointment, Dr. Salamati, kept making the comment to my son "If you keep screaming, you're not getting a toy". This was said a few times. After the exam, she told my son "Since you screamed the whole time, you're not getting a toy!". After explaining the findings of the exam, she then turned to my son and said "OK! Are you ready to pick out a toy?!" I do NOT feel this interaction or type of communication is acceptable. This made me very embarrassed and uncomfortable I went back and forth making this review, but I feel it is necessary as a provider should NEVER make parents or patients feel that way. I am deeply saddened by this experience

You tossed a referral slip on the counter for my child, I went to grab it and you snatched everything out of my hands and said you thought I was trying to grab files OK 1st and foremost the files were 4" away from that letter, if you didn't want me reaching anywhere over there maybe you should have slid it through the window. Point is you do not have the right to grab things out of people's hands when you're trying to give it to You are very rude and the way that you talk to people, So disrespectful.We have filed and called the dentist board. Maybe next time you should listen to people when they tell you to stop and not forcefully hold them down or better yet see them at their appointment time when they're medicated so they don't have to wake up screaming.

On my very first visit to this office, I was suddenly told I have early-stage periodontitis and need a "special" deep cleaning on all four quadrants--at a cost of over $500 that my insurance won't cover. That was surprising, especially given my history of routine cleanings and positive feedback from prior dentists. The staff was thorough, but I left feeling uneasy. Being told to switch to a soft-bristle toothbrush while also being presented with an expensive treatment plan felt off, particularly when I've felt great about my dental health up until now. Maybe this office is right for some people, but the experience didn't sit well with me.
