My anxiety was high but everyone was so understanding and we worked to get a fantastic treatment plan in place. I’m very thankful to have started my journey with Dr. Azar.
Can't really remember the appointment
Verified patient
I have had a fear of dentist visits all my life. I was fortunate to choose Worman's Mill and Dr. Azad when I broke a tooth. Dr. Azad listened to the many reasons for my fear and worked to assure I was comfortable. After my first visit with Dr. Azad my years of dental phobia were dramatically reduced. I cannot recommend Worman's Mill and Dr. Azad highly enough. If you fear going to the dentist - see Dr. Azad!

Great experience
Verified patient
I had a wonderful visit. Everyone was very friendly and professional. I was able to explain my dental issues and I also scheduled a follow-up appointment I am a chicken when it comes to denial work, but very comfortable with this doctor.
Verified patient
Very professional and quick. I wish I was able to fill out forms online, but they saw me quickly despite being a new patient anyway. I recommend
Verified patient
First visit, I explained what the visit was for, Had a quick exam, and quite a few X-rays. Second visit, More X-rays, gingival/teeth measurements. I'm my opinion, both visits could have been done in one, and the second visit for the procedures to be performed, such as extraction, Root Canal, etc.
Verified patient
The cost much greater than expected
Verified patient
Very professional and courteous.
Verified patient
Great practice!
Verified patient
