It was almost impossible to get an appointment with her! Then when I finally did, she left something under my gums, and my gums became infected. When I called her asking for help, she asked "what do you want me to do about it?". I was miserably in pain, and I had to go to an emergency dentist. I won't see her again.

I am 99% anxious at the dentist, and my dentist (another woman, not Dr. Tahvildari) was amazing. She was EXTREMELY patient, giving me ample time to calm down before she worked on my teeth.
I highly recommend this dentist office. The office is clean, welcoming, cheerful, bright, and the staff introduced me to everyone before I sat in the chair. It was one of the best dentist visits I've ever had, and I cannot say enough good things about the staff.
I am a difficult patient, i cried at least 3 times, and they were more than happy to give me time, space and everything else to make sure I was safe and comforted. 100% service here.
July 7, 2016Megan T.Verified patient
I had a terrible experience! To start, they are extremely disorganized. Making, canceling appointments is difficult. In the office it doesn't seem like everything is charted or communicated to patients. I was supposed to have cavities filled in two sessions. They couldn't get me numb on the bottom so they kept injecting me with more until I felt dizzy and light headed. I felt faint and had to call a ride to pick me up. Then they did it again on the second time, except they started drilling so they had to do a temporary filling since it wasn't numb. I almost fainted again from too much numbing meds, you'd think they wouldn't have done the same thing twice! When I told them I wanted to go else where they made me to talk to 2 other people and wouldn't let me leave. Then owner then tried to scare me by saying maybe I now needed a root canal — out of nowhere? Did she even look at my X-Rays? It didn't seem like anyone took me seriously about how sick I was feeling until I wanted to go elsewhere. However, the front desk is very friendly and was very helpful when I was so sick after each visit. This has never happened to me at any other dentist.

May 18, 2016Aaron S.Verified patient
Very kind staff! Wonderful dentist visit! Would go there again for a 6 month check-up! The dentist was there right away to treat anything that Bita found during the checkup (cavities and such). Very professional! And, mostly of all, the staff are very respectful of each other.
More than 1 year agoKristen R.Verified patient
Fantastic experience! It has been a while since I've been to the dentists and due to a recent injury, it was very necessary. Bita as well as her sister and associates took care of me. I'm glad I have a new primary dentist. I look forward to a brighter smile :)
February 16, 2016Brent D.Verified patient
I really appreciated how they made sure I was comfortable and that they really care about the patients well being! Very friendly staff!!
January 20, 2016Christina S.Verified patient
Dr. Bita Tahvidari is the best dentist I have ever visited! As a patient with high anxiety, she and her team immediately put me at ease and keep my nerves at an all-time low. I leave her office with full confidence in the work she has done and the gratitude for her extreme compassion and kindness towards patients.
January 21, 2016Michelle DVerified patient
This is my 3rd time there and this time for a crown. This is the first time that I have ever been to a dentist that I do not feel the needle going into my gums. Let me tell you I have had a lot of dental work done, so I was waiting for the pain, but it never came. They are all very nice and great service.
More than 1 year agoPatricia SVerified patient
Again, Dr. Bita, Linda, and Cristina were wonderful, professional, and very caring. I can relax knowing Dr. Bita and Linda will take care of my dental needs with great skill, but also with kindness and a sincere concern for my comfort. Dr. Bita and her Team are the Best!!
September 10, 2015Diane H.Verified patient
Wait time isn't a problem at all. I have walked right in both times I have been here. The bedside manner and professionalism can't be beaten either. I'm happy so far with what procedures I have had done.The doctor is truthful and informative.

More than 1 year agoMichael M.Verified patient
Going to the dentist is the last thing on my list due to my silly fears, but I kid you not from the moment I walked in the door I could already feel comfortable. And the. When I met the bees she was so very compassionate and sensitive to my fears and needs. When I met dr. Rita and bita, they were so amazing and really made me feel comfortable and I walked out of that office looking forward to my next visit! This was such a positive experience and I high recommend them to anyone that wants a dentist that really cares about their patients and value them.
More than 1 year agoRaina R.Verified patient
There a things I would rather do than spend 2 hour in the dentist's chair but since it was necessary it was a good visit. Dr Bita shows real concern for patient comfort and works efficiently. Her staff is excellent.
More than 1 year agoEloise B.Verified patient
Dr. Bita and Linda are very good about checking periodically during treatment to make sure you are alright. She stopped twice for me to give me more stuff to numb my mouth when I started to feel just a small amount of pain. Very happy with their care for me.
February 24, 2015Pam K.Verified patient
Love Dr. Bita and her staff. Assistant Linda really took her time, explained everything thoroughly, and made a full set of x-Rays painless. The hygienist, Rita, was great! I highly recommend this dentist.
January 20, 2015Pam K.Verified patient
This is by far the best dental experience I have ever had and I have been to many dentists over the years. Both Dr Bita and her assistant took time to explain every step so I understand everything about my own mouth. Fantastic experience. Highly recommend her and her team.
October 17, 2014Lisa M.Verified patient
They were very professional and honest about what my problems were with my gums and teeth. They were reassuring on how they would start with getting the teeth and gums back in sharp. I was very pleased with my first visit and plan to stay with them.
