Focus Dentistry

Wow. If I wasn’t terrified of the dentist as a child I sure am now. Appointment made three weeks in advance with an hour long wait once I arrived. Was stabbed multiple times in the mouth with a needle by a completely incompetent assistant. Eventually the Novocain kicked in and thank god. Wish it had been Vicodin so I could have slept through the screw up in billing that I had to correct.

I have been to the dentist when I was younger and honestly anyone can say that they hated the dentist. I know it sounds bad from since freshman year in high school I did not go see a doctor (yes I still brushed my teeth twice a day and flossed too) but when I finally found a dentist I first went to the office in Simi Valley and they took great care of me! Started my Invisalign process there and eventually moved over to this office. The setting is great, location is awesome but most the service, professionalism, care, respect and friendship is wonderful. I am for sure recommending this office. Great experience!

This dentist excellent everyone very nice dentist agakhani has saved all my teeth I was losing all my front teeth and has saved them with making them look great we came across alot of obstacles with my teeth and he found a solution for every one I am sticking with this dentist tell he retires he is wonderful .I tell anyone if you need great dentist he’s your dentist.

Just had to get two dental procedures done… My first crown ever… And a filling that has to be fixed. And btw I hate the dentist! But with that being said, Dr. A was amazing… He answered all my questions and went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable. In addition, the rest of the staff is amazing, funny, friendly, and so caring. I would 100% recommend this dentist. The office will give you a friendly, clean, & high tech experience. They are the best!

Their actions were rectified.

I first visited this dental office recently. I was referred by a friend and after all these years I found an office full of great people. I dealt with Astrid, Melissa, and Armond. They went above and beyond to help me at a moments notice. I had a last second dental emergency. I was in no pain and walked out with a great smile. I am headed back there today and very much so looking forward to the visit. I highly highly recommended this dental group. Nothing but a huge thanks to focus dentistry.

I’ve been going to Focus Dentistry for about 6 years now and the dentist has changed several times, but this doesn’t bother me because I continue to see the same hygienist, Natalie, who does a wonderful job. I love that I’m not just «another patient» and we’ve been able to build a relationship over the years; it makes going to the dentist much more enjoyable. She has also provided me with special tooth brushes to reach the hard to get areas to avoid future issues and I’ve been able to prevent needing a gum graph because she and the dentist were able to catch the issue in time and instruct me how to take care of it.
I highly recommend Focus Dentistry and if you can get an appointment with Natalie, she’s the best!

The office is very organized and the staff is very professional. the doctor is very trustworthy. I will recommend him to all my friends and fellow helpers.

A mess! They totally screwed up my billing and I have left NUMEROUS messages to try to get it cleared up, which they never return. The receptionist (Melissa) had the gall to tell me that my teeth must not have been a priority to me as my teeth were in need of a deep cleaning! The fillings Dr. Aghakhani replaced hurt and didn’t set well. Although the hygeinists were nice enough, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone Soo not worth the headach of trying to deal with the staff there! !

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. The practice came recommended to me by a friend, although the actual dentist she saw was gone from the practice when I called to make an appointment, so I said the dentist they have now would be fine. Huge mistake.
It had been a year since my last cleaning, and I had a wonderful highly reputable dentist in San Francisco who said my teeth were in good shape a year ago. After getting my teeth cleaned, the guy at Focus (Agkhani) said all 7 of my metal fillings needed to be redrilled and replaced. I thought it was a little weird since my teeth had been fine a year ago, but didn’t think twice about trusting a dentists opinion. I showed up to the first appointment for one side of my mouth and got them filled. Afterward he said two were very deep and I would have to get root canals if I experienced any pain (keep in mind I am 23 and diligently take care of my teeth). I freaked out and called my dentist back home, who also thought it was suspicious and highly unlikely that all 7 fillings had to be replaced in the first place. My dentist back home said he typically only replaces cavities if they begin to hurt, and my teeth were fine. He so graciously agreed to come in on a Saturday morning when I was home in the Bay Area to take a look before Focus drilled the other side. Sure enough, he said there is no way he would even think about drilling my teeth unless I had pain, as all my childhood fillings looked fine.
Meanwhile, on the «deep» fillings the focus guy mentioned, I am experiencing excruciating pain two weeks later, cannot eat with that side of my mouth, and thought my mouth was going to explode with the pressure on the airplane. He clearly screwed something up or drilled too deep and hit a nerve, when my original dentist would not have even touched the teeth since the fillings were fine and weren’t bothering me. Focus dentistry is an intrusive practice that performs unnecessary work that will probably cost me a root canal. I will never again take dentistry for a grain of salt, and will take a day off of work to trek up to San Francisco for the rest of my dentistry needs because of this horrible experience.

I have been a patient for over 18 years and twice a year the gossip in the office has gotten worse. I don’t want to hear about other patience while waiting!!! Dr Dan Smith has left the office and I see no reason to return. When I called to have my X-​rays transferred to another denist they didn’t even ask why? If you can get past the office staff, you may find a good hygienist. Good Luck!
