“The dentist was there every step. No waiting he was an active member providing my care. The team also checked my insurance before preforming any procedure so I knew exactly what cost were needed. Super nice bright happy team ! They also worked with on payment plan for future cosmetic work! ”

“Everything was seamless from the staff’s congeniality to the dentists consultation. The dentist has the latest technology that allowed me to see all my teeth on the tv screen. The doctor and dental assistant informed me about crowns and why bonding and veneers would not work for me. I comfortably made a decision to invest in crowns for my upper teeth.
So far, so perfect. Looking forward to getting the temp crowns in April. ”

Great experience from start to finish. The office was organized, the wait time was reasonable, and the provider was attentive and easy to talk to. I felt heard, everything was explained clearly, and I didn’t feel rushed. I would definitely come back and recommend them.

My experience was the best that I ever experienced with a dentist. I highly recommend this dentist. He was understanding, gentle, and efficient.

The dentist was amazing - he even did my cleaning which I did not expect and I was told by the technician that it was because the hygienist doesn't come in until later because she has two young kids. I've never had my teeth cleaned by the actual dentist before! Such a great overall experience, I need some work done and I will definitely have Dr Nategi do the work!

I genuinely dislike the idea of dental work but the staff definitely tried to make me feel comfortable about me being there. Explained everything to me and repeated some if needed. I have been to dental offices where I feel like they cared more about my $ then helping my problem.. I didn't feel that way at all during my visit here. Would highly recommend!!!
