“The entire office was so friendly and informative! They did everything to address all of my issues and made me feel very comfortable. I’m very happy I met Dr. Shiva.”

“Dr. Shiva, Morgan and the rest of the staff were SUPER friendly and informative. They walked me through everything from my X-rays to my cleaning and created a plan for future care. They also gave me a comprehensive breakdown of what my insurance covers and what would be out of pocket. Plus, Dr. Shiva gave me a handwritten card before I left! It was an overall great experience and I highly recommend. ”

Amazing doctor and staff. Dr. Shiva even wrote me a hand-written thank you note after my visit. She was knowledgable and kind, and so were her dental hygenists (Aurora and Morgan) and front desk staff. What an enjoyable visit!
August 16, 2023Patricia P.Verified patient
I came into the office after not having visited the dentist in years. I immediately felt comfortable and was treated with respect and professionalism. Dr. Shiva took the time to explain what she was seeing and made sure I understood. I now have a plan to tackle my dental needs and will definitely be back!
February 27, 2023Meredith H.Verified patient
I was made to feel very welcome by genuinely friendly, professional, and skilled staff at this office. They go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable but it didn’t feel like overkill. My cleaning (and subsequent cavity filling) was painless and quick. Would highly recommend!
November 29, 2022Megan M.Verified patient
I have made Dr. Ghahremani my primary dentist and aligned with her dental care plan. I will be returning to her office for the foreseeable future.
July 19, 2022Shellie R.Verified patient
Dr. Shiva and her staff were so lovely. Great experience. Even booked my toddler an appointment as their bedside manner was so welcoming and kind.
Highly recommend.
July 15, 2022Brittany B.Verified patient
I have been putting off some major dental work for a good portion of my adult life, mainly because of fear, but also because I was unsure of how much it would cost or how bad it would be. Dr. Shiva and the whole team at Westwood Family Dental helped me get over my fear and take the leap I have been needing to take! They helped work with my insurance to give me a clear and accurate estimate of the costs, and they gave me the support and care I needed to navigate the process. Today when I came in for the final piece of the work, everyone in the office was so supportive and happy for me - I am so glad that I went with Westwood Family Dental!
June 9, 2022Eleanor F.Verified patient
I normally have a fear of dentist but this office took that fear away and made me happy to smile with confidence again. Great experience and even told others. They went and agreed

May 29, 2022Laura S.Verified patient
Dr. Shiva G. and her entire staff are incredible!!!!
They immediately make you feel so comfortable as if you've been going there for years, even on my first visit!
They take the time to listen to your needs and do a great job explaining what they are doing and what is needed in the future.
They genuinely have the best, state-of-the-art equipment. I have never experienced such a warm, inviting, friendly, comforting dental office in all my years!
I will definitely come back here for all my dental needs!
April 21, 2022Amy C.Verified patient
This office is the best! Everyone there is so helpful, so friendly and so professional. I've never been to a dentist that's so kind, patient, thorough, and open to answering any and all questions you may have. I highly recommend!

Dr. Shiva Ghahremani is a brilliant dentist. She is the best dentist I've ever had. The staff are really nice and helpful too. I had a few bad experiences before until I finally found Westwood Family Dental. Everything was great and easy. I had an amazing experience so I HIGHLY recommend her!

February 3, 2022Anna V.Verified patient
Dr. Shiva and her entire staff are wonderful. They were very attentive and made me feel comfortable during my whole dental exam. The best and most comprehensive dental experience I have ever had. I will definitely be going back.
January 20, 2022Mahsa P.Verified patient
The doctor does good dental work.
I would add that the zocdoc experience should include a question about whether this is your first time with this doctor or not. If less than two years additional paperwork is required at the office, so you should arrive earlier.
Doctor should place an open sign on the front door. Your form should also speak to Covid restrictions.

The doctor was professional and had a good sense of humor. Both the doctor and the dental assistant addressed any concerns I had and helped me when I needed it. The office is small and fairly comfortable and they have music playing which is nice. I would return here for dental work.

Dr. Ghahremani is hands down the best dentist with a gentle touch. She made me feel very comfortable even though I am terrified of dentists. She explained everything thoroughly and made sure I am pain free the whole time. I am glad I have found such a gem! I can’t wait to introduce her to all my family and friends.

I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Shiva. She is honest, fast, efficient and always delivers quality work. I would travel two hours away just to be able to feel confident that I’m in good hands and she delivers that every single time. Highly highly recommended. She is our family dentist and we couldn’t be more proud.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ghahremani for well over 10 years. She makes the visit to the dentist fun. Throughout the years, I have followed her to different offices and am so grateful that she has established an office near me. She really cares about her patients and is a perfectionist with her work, which I greatly appreciate. She has a great balance between being kind and caring, and yet being professional. Her staff have always been that was as well. I highly recommend her.

All I can say is wow! My old dentist just sold her practice to another dentist who happens to be Dr. Shiva. I was hesitant to see anyone other than the dentist I have been seeing for so many years, but I thought to give it a try, and I’m glad I did! Dr Shiva is very professional with a great bedside manner. She made me feel so comfortable since she knew I was a little hesitant at first. I had to change this old crown from a long time ago, and I decided for her to finally do it for me. The whole experience from sitting and talking to her to getting numb and the procedure done was just exceptional. I’m so glad that I decided to stay with my old office and I highly recommend her to everyone. Thank you Dr. Shiva!

All i can say is WOWWW…..I went to this dental office today for the first time. I picked it based on the high ratings. I understand why they have received so many high ratings. Everyone here was wonderful. From the time i walked in, they greeted me with such positive energy and everyone was so nice.
What I appreciate the most about Dr Ghahremani, is she was honest with me and didn't try to give me a report about treatment and services i didn't need. I felt for the first time in my adult life, a dental professional was honest with me.
I am looking forward to my next appointment….
