I want everyone to know the truth, hoping no-one has to go through what I went through. Dr. Ali will perform a root canal on you and refuse to send the report to any other dentist to complete the crown. He doesn't trust anything done by any other dentist, nor any x-rays taken by them. You will be forced to take repeat x-rays at his office. Yet he refuses to send the x-rays he's performed at his clinic. BUYER/CONSUMER BEWARE!

I was in need of a root canal (without insurance) on an emergency basis. I was able to get fitted in to see Dr. E. He was able to my root canal and evaluation all in same day. Dr. E and Marlyn were great and took great care of me. Thank you!

Dr. E is such a professional in his field! I liked that he was very honest and I didn't feel forced into a decision I would not be comfortable with - he thoroughly explained the procedure, the recovery from it and what were the chances it would be successful, (in my case it was retreatment of my infected root canal) so you know what to expect. He was able to save my tooth by performing retreatment (couple dentists before him were saying that I absolutely needed to extract it). Now it's all healed and I couldn't be any happier! Thank you, definitely would recommend this clinic.

*EDIT* Judging by this sad doctors response to everyone, you can tell how desperate he is to blame and claim that all these negative reviews are in a way to fabricate him and his business when everything I've said it's a fact. The way he's demeaning and sits behind a screen to respond to everyone and has to pay everyone for positive reviews is pathetic. Just read his responses on the negative reviews, don't come to this 'practice' if you actually want care. He's broke and wants your money. THE FACT IS THAT I NEVER HAD MY ROOT CANAL, HE RESCHEDULED MY APPOINTMENT SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE TELLING ME HE NO LONGER TAKE MY INSURANCE. HE IS A HORRIBLE HORRIBLE DOCTOR THAT HAS NO REGARD FOR ANYONE EXCEPT HIMSELF. Absolute worst experience in my life. Not only was I rescheduled 6 times, but I was charged for a consultation fee for a service I never had. After all the rescheduling, I was informed they no longer take my insurance. But he was so quick to charge me $250, and when I asked for a refund he said in quote "I have to keep my lights on." Also, he has absolute horrible bedside manner. I'm pregnant and went to see him my first trimester, I had horrible nausea and a bad gag reflex. He dropped his tools and said "reschedule or get your tooth removed. I don't believe this gagging will go away in your second trimester." I rescheduled my appointment with him only because I was already charged $250 and since it's been rescheduled 6 times. It's easy for him to blame financial hardship on others since he fraudulently takes and keeps your money, just be nice getting rich by lying. I even went in for a rescheduled appointment and waited an hour and a half and he never showed because he was with another patient. I never got an apology. I disputed the $250 which he disputed back. I will be reporting him to the board as well as others. His own office staff told me that he's stubborn and will do anything for money and that he doesn't know how to talk to women especially if they're pregnant...but he's quick to blame others and say they're having frustrations due to money problems and financial hardship.

Saw Dr. Eghtesadi for an evaluation today thinking I needed a root canal today as was very apprehensive. After the evaluation Dr. Eghtesadi was able to correctly diagnose my issue and that it was not dental related. I am so glad I didn't need a root canal and appreciate Dr. Eghtesadi's excellent evaluation skills.

Dr. Eghtesadi is rude. Believe all of the reviews about him being a good dentist but his demeanor towards his patients is terrible. From his staff to how he speaks to you as a paying patient is just sad. Enough said there is a sign at the front door that says if you leave him a nice review he will give you a star bucks card, so all of these five star reviews are forced. He's bad for business but will get it done. He's more so worried about trying to convince you to pay for a 300$ CBCT scab then your insurance. He's rude like I said will get the job done, I wouldn't recommend him and they never answer the phone !!! Took forever to get a call back about a week ago when I did call to schedule but over all WASNT very happy with my experience

Had an evaluation and a root canal performed by Dr. Eghtesadi on Friday. I was in a lot of pain calling around to see if someone could fit me in before the weekend as I knew I would not last through the weekend with the pain I had. Dr. Eghtesadi and his staff were able to fit me in late afternoon. Was afraid I would feel the pain during the treatment as I was in a lot of pain. To my surprise Dr. E numbed me so good I almost fell asleep in the chair. A day later and I can finally breath. I am so thankful to Dr. E for fitting me in and getting rid of my pain. I never hope anyone has dental pain but if you do these are the right people to go to.

Dr. Eghtesadi is a wonderful endodontist with top of the line equipment and a very modern office. Would highly recommend him to friends and family

Dr. Eghtesadi was rude, condescending, and arrogant. I honestly don't understand all of the positive reviews for this business except that there was a sign in the lobby saying that you could get a $5 Starbucks gift card for a positive review written onsite (this is illegal unless the review states that a gift was given in exchange for a review). Dr. Eghtesadi's receptionist was out, so he was handling everything. I have Tricare insurance, and Dr. Eghtesadi clearly did not understand how that works. Tricare doesn't give out insurance cards, and instead a military dependent's ID is used as proof of insurance. Dr. Eghtesadi proceeded to get into an argument with me that mostly consisted of a back and forth of us basically saying the same thing over and over again, with him saying he needed to have a card with a phone number in order to verify my insurance and me saying that I don't have a card with a phone number because Tricare doesn't do that. Then, Dr. Eghtesadi said, in the most patronizing way possible, "I'm going to talk to you like you're my sister. You need to figure this out because you're going to have problems with this in the future." I explained that I hadn't had problems before. Dr. Eghtesadi then said that he didn't know what he was supposed to do because all I have is a government ID and who is he supposed to call, the government? I was pretty bewildered by his attitude and sarcasm, but I calmly responded by saying that I would probably try United Concordia Tricare first. This is, in case anyone was wondering, how you verify Tricare dental insurance. I wondered aloud whether his receptionist would know how to handle this, and he said harshly, "She knows less than I do." Woah. Okay. It's not like it's her job to handle insurance or anything. Anyways, once I got to the back area, the rest of the visit was fine, and Dr. Eghtesadi was surprisingly courteous when I called a few days later to discuss the results of the scan, so it's possible that my visit was a strange deviation from his normal behavior. It is also possible that he has anger issues and no problem being rude, condescending, and hostile towards a small, young female who did nothing wrong. Reading some of the other negative reviews about him online seems to suggest a pattern of angry outbursts. You might get lucky and have a positive experience or you might have one like mine, and do you really want to play that game of chance? There are plenty of other endodontists in the area and some of them may actually have some emotional control. Edit: Dr. Eghtesadi's reply shows he still doesn't understand Military insurance even though he is a part of the Tricare Network. Instead of listening he gets upset and condescending. My military ID and benefits number ARE proof of insurance. I actually spoke with a customer representative from Tricare after this disastrous dental appointment and she confirmed that the only proof I needed was my ID and benefits number (some providers will also ask for the sponsor's DOB and SSN), and she said that providers can verify my insurance by calling their number or through their website. I have had Tricare for years and visited dentists all across the country, and all of them have not had a problem verifying my insurance, even when they weren't in network. I want to reiterate that I did nothing wrong and that the problem was and is Dr. Eghtesadi's ignorance about insurance and unwillingness to listen. Dr. Eghtesadi was not "direct," "to-the-point," or "candid." He was rude, patronizing, and caustic. If you've ever had someone try to "help" you or "teach" you something when really they just wanted to take their emotions out on you or assert their imagined superiority, then you will know what I mean. Several people have posted 5 star reviews for this business just a day or two after I posted my negative review. I just called this business out for its shady review practices, and now there are suspicious reviews? How are people supposed to trust that the positive reviews for this business are legitimate?

I had a complicated tooth with calcified roots. My dentist would have preferred to pull it out and replace it with an implant. But I wanted to save my own tooth and so he recomended Dr. Eghtesadi. The clinic is beautifully designed and spotless, the service promt (too many forms to fill on first visit! ) and most importantly, the root canal procedure was sucessful. Dr. Eghtesadi has a sure hand and is clearly very experienced.

This review is not on any procedure, but on becoming a patient. When filling out paper work for my first appointment, I came across a contract that I needed to sign to become a patient. It's called a Physician Patient Binding Arbitration Agreement. Since my best friend is a lawyer, I texted her asking what it was, and she strongly suggested I do not sign that type of agreement. The receptionist saw I didn't sign it when I handed my papers in and when she asked if I didn't sign for a reason, I told her I wasn't comfortable signing it. She explained that it means if I were to take any legal action against the Dr, it just means the lawyers for each side would handle everything in mediation. This is a very misleading explanation and I strongly suggest any potential patient to google what it means or speak with a lawyer before signing. Personally, I won't ever be getting services somewhere where I have to sign a paper stating the parameters of how I can sue them if they've caused any damages.

wanted to write a review to thank Dr. Eghtesadi and his staff for taking real good care of me. To start Marlyn at the front desk was very pleasant. First appointment (Monday) was for the evaluation and locating the vague pain I was having. After a very detailed exam Dr. E was able to locate my pain which my general dentist thought was coming from a top tooth, but was actually from the bottom area. The root canal was painless and seamless and as I am writing this review I am pain free. I dare say it was a pleasant experience. Highly recommend Dr. Eghtesadi.

Had a root canal performed last week by Dr. E and the entire experience was excellent. I must say that I am a bit dental phobic and was nervous going in. Dr. E explained everything during my evaluation visit and during the root canal visit everything was smooth and painless. Even fell asleep during the procedure. Highly recommend!!

I was sent to Dr. Eghtesadi from a friends referral. Came and saw him last week for an evaluation and today was the root canal appointment. The entire experience was great from beginning to end. Can't thank him and his staff enough. I would recommend without hesitation.
