| - I live in Woodbine Park and when my old dentist retired, thought it would be great to just be able to walk down my street and go to the dentist, so I made an appointment. The decor of the office was really beautiful, and it seemed they had the latest equipment, totally computerized. But that's the end of the good experience.
The ENTIRE time Dr. Bitaraf was working on me, perhaps 1/2 hr, she did not stop talking to her dental assistant !!! Some things were of a rather personal nature (involving their family members) and I felt really awkward "listening in" on their conversation. I was getting extremely anxious because I didn't think she was really paying attention to what she was doing. You feel extremely vulnerable with your mouth open and a dentist holding a drill -- and for this reason, I didn't say anything because I did not want to anger her.
She also told me I had 3 more cavities and would have to come back for another visit. I was shocked, because I have not had a cavity in years (I'm doubting now even if the one she had just filled really was a cavity) and regularly visited my dentist every year. Now all of a sudden, I've got 4 ?
Needless to say I was extremely skeptical and told them I'd call when I got my schedule. I never went back. Thank God, because I went to another dentist in the beaches who was rated very highly in the Beach Mirror (yearly awards) and it turns out that I didn't have ANY cavities.
Dr. Bitaraf is dishonest, unprofessional and drills for gold.
