I had a very pleasant experience in Dr. Ghafari's office. She is a very caring person and after a complete checkup, she discussed all alternatives for my dental and hygiene needs. I recommend her to everyone who needs a great dentist!

Dr. Ghafari has been our family dentist for a very long time - she does amazing work. She is very gentle with our kids, but also thorough in cleaning. For adults, she really listens to concerns and questions and makes you an equal partner in your care. You will never feel pushed into anything, and she gives you multiple options with pros and cons for each. I really appreciate that her philosophy is to always save natural teeth whenever possible. Highly recommended!

Dr. Ghafari really came through for me. I was experiencing severe pain and she was able to pinpoint that it was being caused by two issues -- tmj from grinding as well as a tooth in need of a root canal. She stayed late to perform a very tricky root canal and I highly recommend her services. She is also very kind, gentle, and an all around wonderful person.

Doctor G. Is a awesome person, I'm very picky about dentist and would have not return if her front office service or her dental service was bad. Doctor G. Thank you for all you have done.

Dr. Ghafari is a very attentive and detailed dentist. I rarely visit dentists due to fear, but, after my first visit, I really felt comfortable. I am not fond of writing reviews, but, in her case, yes - highly recommended!

I saw Dr. Ghafari for a root canal, and she was very transparent on the pricing, knowledgeable regarding the treatment, and courteous throughout the scheduling, planning, and procedure. I would highly recommend Aesthetic Dental Care of Kentlands.
