Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

She is not a good dentist. She has worked on my teeth and a couple of my other Friends, and we all have issues. She told me I have two cavities, but she didn't even explain which teeth. When I asked her, she told me one up and one down! On the day of filling them, she started from the other side, versus the side the she showed me before!! I asked about it, and she told me I checked your X-ray, and it's this side!! Her filling wasn't good either. Not going back to her....

First saw her when I had a dental emergency over 6 years ago and have been coming ever since. She performed regular cleanings to implants and I never had any issues with any of the work. She has also been friendly and taken the time to explain what needed to be done.

this is not my first time at Dr. Ghafari's office, she has done several sensitive dental work, everything has been done very smoothly as always, that is why I keep coming for more dental work, she is very careful about what you feel and how the operation is moving forward. it's a good feeling to see her in total control, I am so very happy that I have found her and keep coming back. Thanks Doctor.

As root canals can be an ordeal, Dr. Ghafari has made the experience an easy one. She made sure that I felt comfortable through the process and took time to explain the procedure and the pricing.

Took me right in ahead of schedule, and Dr. Ghafari is great about starting on time (a pet peeve of mine which I have no issues with here). Very professional and efficient experience. Great seat-side manner. Great experience all around!

Dr. Ghafari did a 6-month check and cleaned my teeth. It was a pleasant experience. I was seen at the time of my appointment. I am planning to return in 6 months to continue receiving excellent dental care in her practice.

When its hard to feel at ease with a Dentist, Dr. Ghafari gives you all the comfort and ease when you are seating at her chair. She has been my family and personal dentist for past 15 years and I could have not been happier to have known her. Strongly recommended to anyone looking for new Dentist in town or thinking about chaining their current Dentist.
