Very nice, proficient, and capable dentist.
Verified patient
I was truly impressed by Dr. Raoufinia’s extensive expertise and professional demeanor. The staff, too, were incredibly warm and caring.
The doctor showed me the exact things that were going on with my teeth and recommended that I continue doing what I have been doing to prevent further wear on my teeth. My present doctor was going to put fillings in the divots in my teeth, which is not necessary, and would not last as long as the present tooth structure! We appreciated the honesty of his evaluation and the prevention of unnecessary fillings being done on my front teeth!
Verified patient
Very good pre-appointment information gathering and greeting. Smooth transition when I arrived. Excellent service and communication during the visit with detail description of what needed to be done and in what order. Premier services.

Verified patient
Dr Raoufinia and all staff are extremely friendly and competent. Despite moving I will continue going here because it’s a great experience!
So sad that my insurance doesn’t cover this doctor. I paid for my cleaning out-of-pocket since I was so overdue. And it was worth every penny! My hygienist was phenomenal and the dentist was simply the best I’ve ever been to. I will recommend this office to all my friends without reservation! Thanks!
Verified patient
Positive experience. The COVID protocols made me feel safe, and the friendly office staff handled my paperwork quickly. I had a brief wait before being seen. My hygienist was knowledgeable and efficient, and when I spoke with the Dr. I felt like all my concerns were addressed and my questions answered clearly.
I had a very positive experience. I am a person who suffers from serious dental anxiety, so going to the dentist is a bit of a struggle for me. I was handled with compassion and care. My hygienist was Danny and she was very patient and kind. She checked in with me throughout my service to make sure I was okay. I also saw Dr. Nima Raoufinia, he was very gentle and has a calming demeanor. I would highly recommend this office. Everyone was really knowledgeable, thorough and they did an exceptional job with communicating next steps, recommendations and over all suggestions to improve your oral health.

Verified patient
I have visited a lot of doctors offices, and have to say this was the friendliness and most professional office I’ve ever visited . I was highly impressed.
Verified patient
It was good
I am so glad i took a chance with a new dentist. I was looking to get veneers to fix my gap. I was googling and searching for a cosmetic dentist reading endless reviews and i'm so glad i went to his office. He explained to me all my options and which option would best work for me and I went with invisalign. I'm extremely happy with results! He's very nice and the staff is really nice also highly recommend!
Verified patient
Dr, Raoufinia was great and tailored my needs perfectly, short waiting time and friendly staff. Made me feel comfortable during my appointment.
Verified patient
Though Dr. Raoufinia was unable to fix my problem (a needed root canal on a curvy tooth root) he referred me to a specialist, had his office call and make the appointment for me, gave advice about what to do until I saw the specialist, and was extremely kind as well as professional. I will visit him when it is time to get the crown I will need. The entire staff who dealt with me was unerringly kind, polite, and professional. My old dentist retired, but I feel I have found a new one that I can be very comfortable with.
Verified patient
Great experience!
Verified patient
Dr. Raoufinia is probably the most gentle and considerate dentist I have ever met. He is incredibly friendly and kind, and happily explains in detail any questions I have. The office staff is great, and I hardly had to wait for my appointment at all.
Verified patient
I scheduled my appointment w/ Dr. Raoufinia only a few days prior and the whole team was very accommodating. The appointment actually was double booked for a routine cleaning, so Dr. Raoufinia preformed the cleaning himself. This was my first time at this office and I very much appreciate the entire team and their friendliness. The office also utilizes a lot of technology, which was very helpful to teach me how to better my dental health
Very friendly and professional
