Dr Shivji is great. She is very sweet and always makes me feel comfortable with my dental work. She is also gentle and I barely even felt it when she numbed me. The rest of the staff are also always caring and considerate. I've been with this dental office for many years and have always been happy with the care I've received.

Didn't feel her hands in my mouth. I was anxious and she and Carmen helped reduce that. There was no pain even the pinch of the needle didn't hurt.
The entire office staff is superb to other dental offices I have experienced. Thank you Dr. Shivji & staff
September 30, 2015Maggie M.Verified patient
I was anxious about the appointment and the procedure, but Dr Shivji and her team were very reassuring and informative about each step that would be taking place including any risks, which was good to know. I would recommend her and her practice to anyone looking for high quality work.

Whew! It was a longer-than-usual visit (3-and-a-half hours) and, having said that, Dr. Shivji and her assistant were professional, caring and artists at their craft.

She is one of the most professional dentists I have seen in my life, and I am 76. The hygienist, Christine, is also one of the best who has ever treated me.
January 15, 2015Warren H.Verified patient
Well, even though we made the appointment with Fariha Shivji, DDS, we didn't get her. We got Dr. Misak (Michael) Shnorhavorian. Still. a very nice person and great professional-- which I'm glad he was because otherise we sould have felt baited and switched.
Real pro and great disposition. Was happy to consult and visit with us to explain every detail. Nice guy!
