I came in for a cleaning and a standard check up. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and timely. Very informative visit that gave me good advice on taking care of my teeth in general as well.

Both the doctor and assistant, Kelly, were friendly, helpful, and easy to talk to. I had never had a dentist visit that I actually ENJOYED before. Dr. Eftekhari explained everything she was doing and why. Rather than the same old, "you should floss more" line, she took the time to explain why it's important and showed me how to do it correctly, which no one had ever done before. Comfort-wise, my cleaning was as painless as one could possibly hope for. 10/10, highly recommend.

This is by far the best dentist I have ever gone to see, and I have seen some very well regarded dentists in NYC and Palo Alto. She is extremely professional and very educational in explaining what she is doing and why. Additionally she did an excellent job in cleaning my teeth and deriving a treatment plan for better dental health. I would highly recommend this dentist. The entire staff was amazing.

Dr. Tala and Kelly are amazing! They both clearly enjoy what they do and made the experience as comfortable as possible. Kelly was great about working with me to get the x-rays done; I have a difficult time with this between a small mouth and a terrible gag reflex. I loved Dr. Tala's informative personalized "micro-lectures" (which were not at all said in a condescending way) as she was looking at and cleaning my teeth. She's very clear and straightforward with providing her thoughts and recommendations. Dr. Tala was far and away the best dentist I've ever seen, and I cannot recommend her enough!
