The circumstances in which I came to Dr. Athari were less than ideal as I called in with a dental emergency. The office was very accommodating in getting me in the same day!
I was very nervous going in since I have had very unpleasant experiences in the past with other Dentists. Dr. Athari tended to the emergency, scheduled an appointment for a check- up, then he laid out a plan for the remainder of my restorative dental work.
My biggest fear has always been not knowing what to expect when I am in the chair. Dr. Athari walks you through every step of the way so there are no surprises.
He has also repaired previous dental work done elsewhere. I truly appreciate the follow up calls he makes after having work done to see how we are feeling after the visit and gauge pain levels etc. He makes himself very available despite having a full schedule. It is so nice to know that he and his office are willing to go the extra mile to make sure patients are feeling well.
During my visits over the past few months, I have gained his trust and I don't fear going to the dentist anymore. He shows photos afterwards and provides guidance on oral hygiene. He is very dedicated and only sees one patient at a time which is beyond amazing because when you are there he is 100% focused on you. From the time you walk in the door, he takes x-rays, cleaning... everything! The office is very clean and has a nice ambiance.
Since my first visit to Dr. Athari, he has also seen my husband and my 7 year old son which is now looking forward to his cleaning next month. Both of them are very happy with their visits. The staff is friendly and efficient.
Dr. Athari is very charismatic and knowledgeable and I strongly recommend paying him a visit! Your mouth will thank you :)
