My dentist is in network with Kaiser Permanente,
but ZocDoc.com said it's out of network when I made online appointment.
I don't know if I did something wrong, but if this a glitch in your system, I think you need to fix it, so other people won't get wrong idea :)

May 15, 2019Brenda W.Verified patient
I made an appointment for dental cleaning but they told me the insurance will not cover it because I have some periodontal problem and recommended deep cleaning instead. They also couldn't do the deep cleaning this time because the appointment time was only 1 hour and I had to make another appointment.
On the day of the second appointment, I called in and told them I will be 15 minutes late because of flat tire. The appointment time was 4:15PM and they told me in that case just not going to their office at all because they close at 5PM. If you plan to close at 5pm, just don't make 4:15pm appointment.

I haven’t been to the dentist in years, partially shaken from past dental experiences. Dr. Azhar and her entire staff were so pleasant, they made me very comfortable and a lot less nervous. Dr. Azhar is also very thorough and really cares about giving her patients healthy smiles.

I hadn’t seen a dentist in many years and I was super nervous but Dr. azhar was so kind and informative. I felt like I understood the process and things moved quickly. Great office staff to walk me through my insurance too!
December 6, 2017Lydia S.Verified patient
I haven't been to a dentist in a very lonh time, and Dr. Azhar didn't make me feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, she explain everything and I am ready to begin the extensive dental work I have to go through. ..
September 22, 2017Lisa B.Verified patient
The front desk ladies are fantastic! Such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere they create! Behind the doors with the dentist was not so warm.
More than 1 year agoMadison P.Verified patient
She was nice and did explain what she was doing at each step, but I felt very pushed to add "extras" like a numbing cream (which to be honest I regret not getting because the metal cleaning tool hurt me so bad i had tears streaming down my face) and flouride rinses. Then I was told I had multiple cavities when ive never had a cavity before and my previous dentist didnt mention any teeth of concern 6 months ago so I'm thinking of seeking a second opinion. Also the hours are very inconvenient for the average joe in an office job.

I pride myself in my dental care and I feel like every time I am seen by her I am leaving needing to have a cavity filled. I have never had so many cavities in all my years of seeing dentists.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
She is an excellent dentist! She is willing to take time to explain what's going on with your mouth, give recommendation and options. She made me feel comfortable with the choice I made because I understood why the treatment was important. She also educate you on how you can better take care of your teeth.
February 2, 2017Makiko T.Verified patient
I made an appointment for a cleaning. I made this clear when booking the appointment. During my appointment, all they did was take x-rays. No cleaning. I was very disappointed. I was also given a long expensive list "my treatment plan" and they wanted me to sign it on the spot. I do not like this. A patient should have time to look the treatment plan over. My intuition is telling me to find another dentist. I also felt pressured to make another appointment.

She has good technique. And, she had me redo my fillings, resulting in weakening my teeth, something that was worsened by my tooth anatomy. I have had pain and sensitivity since the procedures. And, a good dental scientist figured out the cause and the solution.

Personable and on point.

She was very gentle and possessed a very sweet and kind bedside manner. She also provided a thorough treatment plan and it's costs at the end of the appointment. I'm looking forward to seeing her soon.
