Today was my first procedure, I had gum surgery. Dr. Yalda was very professional, and was very concerned about my pain level the entire time. I do not recall her assistants name, but she was great. The office staff is very efficient as well.

She was wonderful with explaining everything, I never felt like she was rushing. She answered all my questions and was very thorough. Everyone in the office was amazing!

Today's appointment was, as usual, a wonderful experience! Dr. Yalda's office staff are both friendly and professional, and I was seen on time, My hygienist, Lindsay listened to my concerns and then began my cleaning. Again, as usual, Lindsay encouraged me to let her know about any pain/ sensitivity/discomfort as she worked, and she gave me a small break when a sensitive area was touched. Dr. Yalda's came in for the final check, and was caring and professional as she examined my teeth. At 74 years old, I have many old fillings, caps, etc. AND I go to Dr. Yalda's to keep them all!! Her office is definitely A+++, and it is a pleasure to recommend her!

Dr. Yalda and her staff were extremely accommodating and explained every aspect of the procedure from beginning to end. During the process she and her team walk you through exactly what will happen and it is all pain free! She even thinks to order the prescriptions in the morning so that once your appointment is completed, you are able to pick them up without a wait at the pharmacy. I would definitely recommend Dr. Yalda!
