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.

The worst dentist
Dr. Alibhai is the worst doctor I have ever been referred. He made my tooth cracked when performed root canal and causing me permanent pain. He charged me over $1800 for the tooth he damaged. While when my doctor referred me back to him to follow up the damaged tooth, he charged me another $500 and told me there is nothing he can do to fix it.

Root canal retreatment was consistent with expectation and I have no paint after it. However only time shows how well it was done (previous doctor missed one canal 8+ years ago). They charge unreasonable patient assessment 20USD on each visit (not covered by insurance). Also charge procedure which didn't happen in my opinion (didn't get back to me even they promise). First time dental office want me pay immediately after procedure (didn't happen for implant).

Dr. Alibhai is a highly skilled and experienced professional. I would add to the many 5-star reviews for him and his staff. I called with an emergent tooth issue on a Friday morning before a holiday. Dr. Alibhai treated me that same afternoon quickly, efficiently, and with great skill. I offer my absolute recommendation for Dr. Alibhai and his practice. He is the best!

Horrible experience and I would n ver go back to this dentist. Recommends procedures that after a second opinion where total fabricated and inecessary. Very disheartening to know that he recommends procedures other dentists to not say are mecesssary.

As an internationally recognized Endodontist, Dental School Professor, and Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics, Dr. Karim Alibhai is a top professional in his field. I have been referred to Dr. Alibhai for three distinct severe dental emergencies, and in each case I received the ultimate in expedited scheduling, diagnosis, problem identification, expert treatment, follow-up, and prompt and complete recovery. Dr. Alibhai is the very best in problem identification and treatment.
