My most important life experience is being a single mother to two amazing kids who lost their father in a tragedy at a very young age. Raising my kids with amazing resilience, focus and hope has not only created a happy and emotionally balanced family, it also taught us that love and hope can overcome all adversity.

I am also a healthy cancer survivor. Going through the hardship of facing a life threatening disease has left me with one thing in mind: do not sweat the small stuff. Enjoy every moment of life and share your love with everybody that comes in contact with you.

Finally, being a yogi keeps me focused on being compassionate and non-judgmental. So at this point, every day of my life I feel blessed to be happy, healthy and loving and my goal is to be able to give all of this back to the people around me.

They are the best. First they were amazing at Invisalign and then I made them my dentist, too. It's the happiest my teeth have ever been!

Never thought I would love going to the dentist but I actually get excited for my next visit. Yolanda is the most delightful person on the planet is such a pleasure to speak to. Everyone in the office is kind, respectful, and friendly. I'm always treated so well and get incredible treatment. Wish I could go to the dentist weekly! Absolutely love everyone there cannot give them enough praise. They also do incredible work and helped me really improve my habits and health and I almost never have to wait more than 5 mins, I feel like a VIP. Would give 10 stars if I could. THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!

Hi everyone ! Honestly, I learned to respect everyone's opinion, because is the way to get respect from everyone too. However, is important to understand that if every doctor or staff could be grade every patient... EACH ONE OF US would be surprised of read each disruptive, impatient and disrespectful behavior and attitude that most of patients have. Sometimes, as patients we go with the dentist expecting to have only good news or less charges BUT... HOW is that possible, if we don't take care of our hygiene as supposed to be . Furthermore, no one likes to have "bad news" as they are called when the dentist or staff honestly states what is wrong and how much will cost to repair, fix, or cure molar, gum or teeth. Every experience is unique, and is good that this office agrees to have this survey, so NO ONE will feel tricked, abused, harassed or mistreated, if we decide to become one more patient in this office . So far, so good, I have only good comments that you may multiply for 6, due to the entire family were treated in this office, if I do not make mistake since 2015 to 2018, when in this year my husband's dental insurance was changed. The most incredible, is that since then we couldn't find in any other dental office a similar professionalism, courtesy, patience, honesty and friendly treatment and politeness as everyone in this office had. DECESION TOOK IT: NO ONE IN THE FAMILY accepted to have any kind of treatment until this year 2022, doesn't matter what far this office will be for us to come. Yes that good was the treatment to all of us, that with everyday brush and floss, we could keep our teeth in average good condition. TODAY 01/10/22, as good return one of my daughters is the first one in get her dental treatment, and the rest of us would be getting our appointment as as can be possible. If anyone had bad experience, the comment is respected but not justified, because no one in this office never force to any patient to accept any treatment without previous consent. Also, in this office the protocol for complaint or corrections always have been respected. I am confident to write this after 4 TERRIBLE EXPERIENCES IN 4 DIFFERENTS DENTAL OFFICES ! 2 PPO and 2 HMO, precisely one of them: with WESTERN DENTAL ! Unfortunately, no just me , also with my 3 daughters, my son and...my husband was SAFED, because he cancelled on time one of his treatments . FRIENDLY ADVICE: take in consideration the large amount of positive comments and give yourself a time to visit and see , before make any decisions of change. God bless each one in this dental office, as I really wish a honest bless for YOU ! The grade I give to this dental office a medal, and number medal. Important to mention: I am NOT receiving any commission or porcentage for my review, this is a HONEST AND PERSONAL AND REVIEW.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. DO NOT GO HERE! Came here and was told I had 10+ cavities when in reality I had half of that amount. This place really tried taking advantage of me. After going to a different dentist I saved over 5k.

This place is very unprofessional. On every visit I was left with my mouth wide open for a long time mean while the anesthesia was wearing off.The procedures end up being very painful.The dentist Dr. Nariman Saadaf is very incompetent and is very pricey. They do not do a good job and you ultimately have to go back and keep paying. My teeth are now very painful. It has been months and my teeth are not the same. I am leaving this honest review based on my experience with this doctor and clinic. Save yourself money and time.

(Translated by Google) Very bad experience, I waited almost 2 weeks for my appointment, 2 days before my appointment they called me to ask if I was sure of my insurance coverage, that they could not review my coverage, to call my insurance company and inform me well which one It was my coverage and when I found out about my coverage I made an appointment again, I got the impression that they did not want to attend me, I called my insurance company and they told me that they could have reviewed my coverage, that they do not understand why they did not want to do it (Original) Muy mala experiencia, espere casi 2 semanas para mi cita, 2 dias antes d mi cita me llamaron para preguntar si estaba segura d la cobertura de mi aseguranza, que ellos no podian revisar mi cobertura, que llamara a mi aseguranza y me informara bien cual era mi cobertura y cuando supiera mi cobertura volviera a hacer cita, me dio la impresion q no quisieron atenderme, llame a mi aseguranza y me dijeron q ellos si podian haber revisado mi cobertura, que no entienden por que no lo quisieron hacer

Dr. Shafagh is great and so is the staff but I'm giving it a 3 star because every single time I bring in my daughter for her ortho appt we have to wait significantly even though we have an appt. There is usually over 15 people waiting in the lobby or outside in the heat. I am very punctual and this does not work with me. The scheduling system they have is terrible.

GET READY TO WAIT!!! Super busy office. They make so many appointments but they can't keep up with all the patients. Not only the staff but patients bump into each other and don't have enough computers/equipment to provide quality service. The last time I visited this place, I arrived at 1:28 pm to be on time for my 1:30 pm appointment and left the facility at 4:30 pm. YES! 3 hours to have 2 fillings. During your visit, you'll be left in the room for long period of times and not once. GOOD LUCK

I got 5 teeth pulled here! Yes, 5 teeth. Dr. Saadaf was INCREDIBLE. I felt so comfortable and felt absolutely NO pain during the procedure. Of course a few hours afterwards you start to feel the pain. Carla and Monica were AWESOME, they even made sure I got home safe. I definitely recommend this dentist for any oral surgery. Great energy, great atmosphere, great people! I wish I could rate them 10 stars!

I don't like when I have to go there every single day like I don't time cause I have school and am almost graduating so attendance is mandatory and they "We will give you a note so you could be excuse " AND That's not going to help for my graduating because if you miss 7 day of not going school your parents will have to go to COURT and the judge will have to tell them why is child not going to school I DON'T WANT THAT
