“I had my first appointment today and everything was great. They took X-rays, they took photos, they did an exam and then they did the cleaning. It was outstanding. Dr Rastakhiz was very nice and asked me about my normal routine. We discussed previous work that I had done and the plans going forward. I am very thankful that I found this office!”

The front desk young lady was wonderful. She introduced herself twice and I forgot!!! The doctors assistant professional and friendly…..wonderful.

Great first impression very attentive and friendly staff, and both the doctor and hygienist were very knowledgeable and empathetic ?
Verified patient
Excellent
I have never talked with a dentist who was so interested in making sure I understood what was going on, was able to weigh my options, and knew the field of alternatives. He communicates well, and I feel that he truly has my best interests in mind. The office is easy to get to, and the staff and assistants were all very nice and equally helpful.
Verified patient
Staff was friendly and courteous. The doctor was friendly and gave me all my options and what I needed and could do. Also, the receptionist came over and showed me what my out of pocket expense was going to be after insurance. That part isn't always clear at other places. Overall a great experience. I will definitely be going back.
Verified patient
The techs were great and got to me right on time. The doctor was nice and listened to what I had to say and helped me understand his thoughts
Verified patient
Really nice staff the main doctor is really friendly hence his practice is good for anyone and he understands his field very well. I learned a lot about my gum health and teeth issue from staff and doctor.
Verified patient
Great dentist! Really put me at ease. :)
Verified patient
Nice small office. Open weekends which is a plus. Very friendly and answered all my questions. Will probably be my new dentist from now on.
Verified patient
I was slightly worried going to a new dentist, but my experience today put my worries to ease. Dr. Rastakhiz explained in detail the status of my teeth, advised me on next steps and we arrived at an action plan surrounding my oral hygiene.
Beyond welcoming upon arrival along with warm and friendly staff. Very receptive, professional and sympathetic to my personal concerns regarding my dental hygiene. To think I used to hate going to the dentist even as an adult but their thorough and comprehendible explanations and cutting edge x ray technology really put everything in perspective for me to continue coming and hopefully as a regular patient.
Verified patient
Great staff and d trust was great!
Just moved to the area and was in search of a new dentist. I was greeted by the receptionist and only waited briefly to be brought back for X-rays. (Which were immediately displayed on a screen in front of for review) We went over the X-rays, established my history, and did a cleaning in under 45 mins including wait time. All and all an excellent experience. I’ll be back in 6 months.
Verified patient
If you looking for a good professional dentist, I will recommend this dentist office. I was in and out in no time, and was very satisfied with the results.
Verified patient
Dr Rastakhiz keeps professional standards high. He put a small composite filling over my tooth and it definitely feels so much better.
Verified patient
Dr. Rastakhiz is very thorough, explains everything very well, and uses a lot of visuals (photos) to help me understand the steps. He and his staff take all Covid protocols very seriously and have done a lot of updating to make patients feel safe.
Verified patient
Great doctor, highly recommend. Will go again.
Verified patient
Zocdoc is a bit too "noisy" for my tastes. I wish there were a way to limit it to single instances of any given need for communication. Also I would prefer if it were all done by email, not partially by texts.
Verified patient
As soon as I entered I filled up a questionnaire and then then went for an X-ray. After that doctor explained everything to me about what is the current situation and how can we treat it. I did a teeth cleaning too.
