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.

Review
I went to Dr Montazem to have a wisdom tooth extracted. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Dr Montazem was very friendly as well, explained everything to me. Felt little to no pain during the procedure and no pain through the day after the extraction.

Unprofessional
This office is very unprofessional. I was scheduled a month in advance for three wisdom teeth extraction and they canceled my appointment 30 minutes before my procedure due to one of their 3D scanners not working. I was told I would get a call back on rescheduling when the machine was fixed and never heard back from them. I took a week off from work to have this procedure done and they failed to give me enough notice. It seems like the dentist made an excuse not to operate instead of telling me the truth. I’m very disappointed in the way this dentist operates their business. I suggest you find a different dentist instead of wasting your time here.

Dr. Montazem is patient, caring, and thorough. I needed to use him to get my first dental implant and trusted him completely. I had many questions, which he was able to answer in an easy-to-understand way. Now the entire process is completed and I have a new tooth. There is no sensitivity, and it feels like a normal tooth. I am extremely pleased with his work and the efficiency of his staff. During Covid-19, they handled office protocol very well, and I felt safe and well-cared for.

Dr. Montazem was absolutely wonderful! I'm a retired dentist and I had to have four extractions. I was apprehensive since I understand what's involved, but Dr. Montazem made me feel at ease, confident and reassured. I couldn't have chosen a better surgeon to proceed with the extractions. The office staff was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and extremely mindful to the CDC guidelines. I felt I was in a safe environment, and I highly recommend Dr. Montazem.

I had a wisdom tooth removed with Dr. Montazem & had an overall wonderful experience with my (mini) surgery. His front office staff were friendly and I was able to schedule an appointment with ease. I was also taken in promptly upon my appointment time by Dr. Montazem's support staff, who were very friendly and welcoming, as I was being prepped for my visit and surgery. Dr Montazem made me feel even more comfortable when he came in the room, and he was extremely thorough and informative when explaining the process to me (as well as funny & kind, which was even more of a plus). I was in and out quickly, and was called the next day by the office staff to see how I was feeling, as well as scheduling me for a follow up appointment to ensure I was healing okay. Oral surgery can be a scary thought, but when you are made to feel at ease by such a wonderful doctor and his staff, it makes the experience much less daunting. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Dr. Montazem!

A true "dentophobe" !! Going to any dentist other than the only one I trust that is 60 miles away, much less an oral surgeon, is not even in the top 50 of places I feel comfortable going to. However, I needed some work done that couldn't be done by my primary dentist, and I needed the work done quickly and thoroughly as my upcoming heart surgery required it. I researched and came across Dr. Montazem, an oral surgeon who was in network with my plan, another plus. Well I had a consult and scheduled a week later for surgery and I have to say, totally painless, before and after. Everyone in the office seems to be very involved in your care, especially Tiffany, who definitely helped calm my fears. Every question I had was answered, and any info I needed was faxed to heart surgeons office promptly. I would definitely recommend this dentist.

This man is on another level of terrible. From his horrible bed side manner to just being a flat out disrespectful human being. He judges you based on your insurance. He assumes that all people that have bad teeth do drugs. I would never recommend this oral surgeon to anyone! Worst experience at a medical “professionals” office. He is so far from professional it’s not even funny! He needs to learn how to treat people better.

I have NEVER been treated so badly by anyone before, let alone a “medical professional” and I use the term very loosely. Our son was referred by his regular dentist for a couple extractions prior to continuing with a detailed treatment plan. This man was disrespectful to us as parents, unwilling to answer our questions, and flat out told us he didn’t care what the other dentists referral was for, he was going to do what he wanted to do. He refused to treat us and actually walked out on us!

I went to Dr. Montazem to have my wisdom teeth removed. I would absolutely recommend him and his team to anyone looking for an oral surgeon in the area. Dr. Montazem made the whole experience of having a procedure painless. I get anxiety when it comes to any type of surgery but him and his team made sure I was completely comfortable and understood all steps of the procedure and recovery. Everything was done with little or no pain for me!

I have been a patient of Dr. Montazem for quite a few years. I have needed to have quite a few teeth extracted and at least five dental implants done. Dr. Montazem and his staff were wonderful! I also had all three of my daughters wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Montazem when they were in their teens. He was terrific with them! I always recommend Dr. Montazem to anyone who needs an oral surgeon!

Dr. Montazem is a very unprofessional doctor. He is rude, condescending and short. My son was saw the doctor to have wisdom teeth and Dr. Montazem spoke to my son as if he was stupid if he didnt do the procedure and gave brief answers to questions. His office never picks up the phone and when you finally get someone on the phone they too are rude. It is unbelievable that a doctor and his staff operate in this manner!

I tried to set up an appointment w Dr. Montazem but a woman receptionist refused to do it simply because I did not provide details for the need to see doctor for dental problem I have. The receptionist on the phone was very rude and unprofessional. I explained that I need consultation and second opinion but she insists on asking HIPPA information which I did not want to provide over the telephone. She just hung up on me. \
