“The office was short staffed today so waited little longer. It was noisy in one of the rooms that I waited because of the music, machine, and voices. ”
JAE HONG K.April 24, 2025
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Everyone at this practice was extremely knowledgeable, clear communicators, very friendly, and great listeners. I really appreciated the time the dentist and hygienist took to explain everything in detail with fun analogies and useful info. They checked that certain procedures would be covered by my insurance before carrying out anything and made useful recommendations for my teeth care but never pushed me to make a decision right away. I was particularly happy with the gentle and thorough cleaning they provided -- always being aware and careful of my existing tooth sensitivities. Plus, they used cameras to help teach me more about my teeth and gum health. Overall, everything flowed smoothly, I didn't have to wait long to be seen and they didn't rush to finish. It's a great experience and I highly recommend them! ”

Such a nice group of people. Dr. Azarbal was super friendly and efficient, and I appreciated how he pointed out the areas of my teeth that were of concern in real time on the camera. The dental assistants and receptionist were lovely as well. My wait time was a little long, but I was also a new patient and had to fill out a lot of paperwork, so I'm sure that interrupted the flow of things. I'll definitely be returning and I feel relieved to have found a dentist close by who feels like a good fit.

Thank you Dr. Azarbal and everyone at your office! You were all incredibly warm and empathetic. I received great, accessible quality care and appreciate the fact that your office continues to have airborne protections such as KN95 respirators worn by staff. Thank you so very much!!

Dr. Azarbal is the only dentist I trust completely. He is very through in his explanations and makes sure you are comfortable in each situation. He is also very skilled in what he does and is a true professional. His equipment is state of the art and his staff is friendly and helpful. They all make the dental experience a rather pleasant and painless one. I have recommended him to many friends and colleges, he is a great resource.

It took 3 hours to get a porcelain inlay when they said it was going to take one hour at most. If you have a small mouth, do not come here since dentist has larger fingers/hands and is not nimble enough to get into corners. The inlay came off after he tried to cement it and he had to recement it which leads to a risk of the inlay coming off again(!) in the short term (direct words from the dentist himself). Dentist also nudges you (actual touch) when trying to make a point which is strange bedside manner. Also recommends the pricier/expensive procedures without mentioning or describing alternative less expensive options.

I am a dental chicken and Dr. Arash is very sensitive to that. If you do not like something he has alternate ways to do some things. He is fast and I like the way he speaks to his staff.

I have had 3 Dentist and 3 apartment moves over the past 10 years. If I move again in the future then I will be keeping my dentist as long as the new apartment is within 100 miles of his dental practice.

I highly recommend Dr. Azarbal. I was very nervous before my first appointment with him and he was very calming and made sure I understood every step of treatment. I needed a lot of dental work done and he has completely transformed my smile better than I thought possible. He made sure even the more major work done gave me as little pain as possible. Plus, all of the office staff is very friendly and helpful.
December 16, 2014Margaret P.Verified patient
The staff were helpful and friendly, and Dr. Azarbal was open, friendly, and informative. He gave me great information about what was going on with my teeth and what the causes and solutions were, while also being considerate about not overwhelming me with too much at once.
He is enthusiastic about his job and cares about his patients, and that really comes across. There was not one negative thing in the whole experience. Thank you to Dr. Azarbal, to Megan, and the whole team!

Had an amazing first visit! Consulation was easy and painless. Hadnt been to the dentist in 5 years and I'm really happy to have found this place. He didnt make me feel bad or talk down to me for not going for so long ( one of the things I was sure any dentist would do given the amount of time I hadnt been seen by a dentist) He was really easy going and explained everything to me. Great staff too! Everything was top notch! Highly recommended!

I really like Dr. Azarbal. He was very friendly and had a great energy about him. He took his time showing me areas of concern and explaing the work I need done. His staff was very nice, professional and helpful. I think I have found my new dentist!
October 9, 2013Nichole S.Verified patient
Lena the front desk receptionist was very helpful with finding out my insurance information and coverage, and making sure I was comfortable with the amount I was paying (putting off certain procedures for later when I have more funds). My dental assistant was kind and patient (and relatively swift) when taking my x-rays. Dr. Azarbal was thorough and understanding, had humor, and even answered questions for me that were outside of my own appointment (e.g. oral-dental issues I have observed in a student of mine). I appreciated his patience and honesty.
