 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I  had a wisdom tooth extraction, and I can’t thank my dentist ( Dr. Sasan )  enough for how smoothly everything went. The tooth was in bad shape and difficult to remove, but Dr. Sasan was incredibly skilled, calm, and patient throughout the entire procedure. He made sure I was comfortable at every step and constantly checked to ensure I wasn’t feeling any pain. His gentle and reassuring approach made a stressful situation so much easier. I really appreciated how professional yet kind he was the whole time. If you’re nervous about dental procedure, I highly recommend this clinic and Dr.Sasan . You’ll be in very capable and caring hands! I also had a great experience with my dental hygienists ( Rose and also Hengameh) . They were both kind, calm, and very gentle, which made the whole appointments comfortable and stress-free. They were also highly professional and attentive. I truly appreciated their care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an outstanding experience at this dental clinic. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. Everyone is friendly, organized, and attentive, which immediately puts you at ease. I want to give special recognition to Mary Ann the dental hygienist—truly exceptional at what she does. She was gentle, thorough, and explained everything in a way that made me feel informed and comfortable. You can tell she takes pride in her work and genuinely cares about her patients’ well‑being. The dentists are equally impressive, especially Dr. Neruopama Pore, she is knowledgeable, patient, and highly skilled. She takes the time to walk you through your treatment options and ensure you understand every step. Their professionalism and compassion make every visit smooth and stress‑free. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a clinic that combines expertise with genuine care.
