My young son is squirmy and not easy. Dr. Nazamian and his team did their jobs swiftly and calmly and were able to complete the full exam needed. I appreciate their kindness toward a terrified young child.

All four of our children have been patients here. The doctors and hygienists are caring. Love the office. They've never pushed unnecessary procedures or services not covered by insurance. Farnaz is a welcoming and helpful presence in the reception area.

Dr. Sharif, thank you for taking care of me all those years ago. My teeth are still straight and I'm still wearing my retainers!!! I know Gio will need braces soon so we will be seeing a lot of each other soon. I am so happy that I got to see Michelle, Anna, Sawsan, Navi, Monica, Birty again. Since returning back to the area, I was ecstatic that I was able to return to the practice with my children. I have full confidence that my family are in the best hands!!
