Such an amazing dentist. Had great experience with Dr. Shoreif, and Dr. Kim. People there are extremely kind. Especially Anna. She's been helpful, kind, and considerate throughout my entire process. I've been going there for about a year now for an Invisalign treatment. I would definitely recommend going here if you are looking for a dentist/orthodontist. Other members like Sawsan, Samira, Estelle were all amazing as well.

We are using Sharif's dentistries offices for 5 years and we had our ups and downs. Dr. Kim is knowledgeable and he always explains the options. Office staff are respectful, specially Farnaz, who had helped me understand my plans and options.

Great office located in Lee highway. The front desk staff make you feel right at home immediately when you walk in the door. Everything was on time and it was an extremely professionally run office. A fantastic experience that is super easy for anyone that works downtown. This is a great place to go take care of your teeth with high tech instruments I have ever seen before. The team was very professional examining and providing with solutions by priority. I had to do cleaning and they did a great job, I felt that I was in good hands. All the people here were very gentle and kind to me. They explained very well what was going on. Thanks to Dr. Sharif. We have recently moved to Virginia From Florida. I was told that I have to redo my two teeth in Florida and I realized that their diagnoses was wrong!! So I don't need to touch them, which is meant saving time and money. ... would highly recommend to anyone!!!
