Bashiri Farrokh, DDS

I’m not a fan of any dental work especially on my gums. Everyone from the office manager to Dr Bashiri is excellent. I trust him and highly recommend Dr. Bashiri. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Yep, they’ve continued to harass me and are now involving a collections agency. This place is EXTREMELY corrupt and if you use them you are volunteering to have them steal your money. I’m going to have to pay them for the sake of my credit score, but I will be sharing with every single person that I know that they are liars, including the dentist who sent me to them and everyone else that I interact with in the medical field locally.

I was referred to Dr. Bashiri by my dentist for a periodontal evaluation. All I can say is that Dr. Bashiri is the most arrogant and dismissive person I have ever met. I would never go back!

December 23 2013…had a message from their office to call back. Talked to Katharina? who told me that all the charges had been waived… I thanked her and have added another star for them doing the right thing… billings wise anyway… so it seems a bit like dental roulette. some people win some lose… I came out even.

I was referred here from my normal dentist for an examination. I was told that with my insurance it was going to have to pay $ 120, which I wasn’t willing to do. The knocked it down to $ 90 and I agreed. I honestly didn’t feel like they were doing me any favors, as I wouldn’t have paid the $ 120 and they would have been out that, plus the money from my insurance. I month later I get a bill in the mail for an additional $ 60, so I ended up paying $ 150. My normal dentist never have a problem knowing what it is going to cost me, and I doubt these guys do either. There billing department is at best incompetent and at worse dishonest.
All this was for a simple examination, not work done. Dentist are like mechanics, some are level with you and just fix what is needed, others tell you that you need a bunch of bogus fixes. The key is finding one you can trust. I do not trust Dr Bashiri. He told me I needed over $ 10,000 in dental work. Upon asking why I needed one of my wisdom teeth removed, he replied «well it’s not doing anything so why not?», upon questioning another procedure, he asked me if my smile was important to me. Come on, really?
The billing issue combined with vasts amount of work he told me I needed, combined with the slimy way he answered my questions makes me have absolutely zero trust.

Let me qualify the rest of this by saying that the staff was friendly and polite and had excellent bedside manners after a particularly painful procedure. Following the procedure I was given special brushes to use in between teeth where the gum had been worked on. After using them for a couple of days I realized the area could be kept clean with floss instead. And since I was flossing the rest of my teeth anyway, it seemed easier to just stick with that and not use the brushes. When I went back later for a followup I was informed the brushes weren’t just for cleaning, they were meant to discourage the gum from growing back incorrectly. I wish they would have told me that. Had I known the brushes were necessary to prevent gum migration I would have been using them. They chided me for not using the brushes, and I kept thinking that I wish they had told me why they were needed. The attitude felt a little disrespectful. On the plus side, I really appreciated his call the night of my procedure just to check in and make sure I was OK. Also, I asked many questions about my procedure and received many clear and concise responses, though I felt at times as if he was bemused by my wanting to know more. As far as I can tell the quality of dental work was good… possibly even great, though the brush incident nearly derailed the whole thing. My two suggestions: first, start using checklists to make sure your patients understand all the aspects of the recovery process. Second, please exercise some humility and don’t admonish your patients. We need a professional who will explain things in a clinical and dispassionate way.

I am very disappointed in Dr. Bashiri. I was referred to him by my regular dentist. After reading all of his reviews I felt comfortable. His bed side manner was horrible. I asked many questions during my consult and he looked at me like I was asking dumb questions. He never said anything about needing stitches, all he would be doing was stretching the gum line. So the day of my procedure when his assistant said we needed to make a following appointment for suture removal, I said «I didn’t know I was going to have stitches?» His response back was «You weren’t listening were you?» Very arrogant towards me.
Had the procedure. Went home and once the numbing wore off I was in tremendous pain so started on the pain meds he prescribed. He never once called checking on me. It was done on a Friday so here it was Friday evening, no one called from his office and the weekend was following.
Went back in four days later to have stitches removed and he wasn’t even there to do it or even look to see how I was doing.
I will say this his office staff was very friendly and nice

I have never written a bad review until now. I came in for two tooth implants with gum issues, both in the same quadrant. He fixed one Delta pays by the quadrant so both teeth should have been flapped for that price. When I came in for my follow up, he had gone to a meeting? Bashiri wanted me to wait until the new year so insurance would pay for the other tooth and I did wait for a couple of months but I was worried about bone loss and said I’d pay for it. He wanted to charge me another $ 1200 even though he knew it would come straight out of my pocket. I went to Dr. McDonald, an angel in my opinion, and he immediately irrigated it himself but unfortunately it’ was not enough. I had bone loss from the long wait and Dr. McDonald did a bone graft. As a follow up — we went to court over this. He sent his office manager and she actually lied under oath saying that the second problem was discovered after the first was fixed. If that were the case, his actions would have been more reasonable but this was no ‘mistake’ on Bashiri’s part. I went specifically for the tooth supporting a bridge that he did NOT fix. It’s hard for people to wrap their head around a dentist with so little integrity. Don’t think even the judge understood completely but we’ll see — still waiting for the verdict.

Dr. Bashiri is terrific. Like many, I dread the dental chair. He is patient, kind and caring. There was discomfort with the Novocaine shots (I’m a wimp) but throughout the procedure he was checking on my comfort level. I recommend Dr. Bashiri highly — 5+ stars and I also recommend Dr. Seymour Kurtz for recommending Dr. Bashiri. What’s the world coming to when you have dentists who really take care of you! I’ve NEVER received a «get well» card from a doctor and that was a wonderful surprise.

I recently had gum surgery with Dr. Bashiri. Interestingly I had the same procedure about a decade ago. I can tell you Dr. Bashiri was superior in every way. His office worked smoothly keeping me posted on how well (or poorly) my insurance was working. Sidebar, insurance caps have not kept up with inflation. He has an excellent bedside manner. I am no expert, just the patient, but it would appear the work was done better. I had no bleeding which could say something about how nicely he stitches and also a nice use of a high tech bandage that may not have been available during my prior surgery. Finally, and I am not sure why this would be but there appears to be less pain. You may wonder how I can make an inter-​temporal statement when I really can’t re-​experience the past. Let me say this: I don’t have any pain and I didn’t take pain killers. I was numb during the procedure and I had my eyes close and I listened to music. I think I would have recalled a lack of pain from the past. Maybe I was lucky, maybe he just knows how to cut without going too deep or maybe its me, but it was not painful.

Dr. Bashiri has performed two gum grafts on me. Both turned out great. Dr. Bashiri is a very nice guy. He calls you afterward to check up on you and sends you a card, as some of the other reviews have mentioned. My mouth healed pretty rapidly, so I think he does a great job. Everyone working in the office is friendly and they make the unpleasant experience of the surgery more tolerable.
The most pain you feel during the procedure is the anesthetic shots. Afterward you’re a little sore for a few days. The whole thing really isn’t extremely painful, so try not to worry so much about undergoing the procedure if you get a graft from Dr. Bashiri.

I have to admit — yes, I was scared to go in for a gum graft as well as pocket reduction procedures. However, Dr. Bashiri and his associates are a bright star in the world of dental care. Learning to trust someone you have never met who is giving you anesthesia and then doing a deep procedure is never easy, but Dr. Bashiri and his co-​workers inspire confidence which is then followed up by competence. I was so surprised to receive a phone call in the evening from Dr. Bashiri following up, unsolicited, to see how I was doing. I also received cards from the office, sent to wish me a speedy recovery. This level of caring is notable in this day and age and appreciated. I have been completely impressed with the care I have received from Dr. Bashiri and his team and recommend them highly!

I’ve been to Dr Bashiri three times so far in my life, for different gum issues. Each time was a perfect experience from him, and his entire staff. I felt so comfortable, my blood pressure was even lower than normal before each precedure. The healing was always fast, and easy with no complications. He’s simply the best

Dr. Bashiri is an attractive man. Grafting isn’t so bad either. They gave a prescription for vicodin that I never even used.

Periodontal surgery is not the most pleasant way to spend a morning in the dental chair, but given the circumstances, Dr. Bashiri and his marvelous staff make the best of the situation — they all work together well as a team, they are compassionate and they communicate well, and you go away feeling well-​treated. He himself is gorgeous, if you can just focus on that while the anesthetic kicks in.

I am giving this 5 stars for the service I received, not the discomfort I had during this process which was the most painful dental procedure I have yet had performed.
I was referred to Dr. Bashiri by my wonderful dentist Dr. Kami. I had gums receding in the front of my lower teeth, probably from when I had braces as a kid. If you ever have to have this procedure done and they give you the choice of using your own tissue from the roof of your mouth, or from a cadaver, pick the latter. I don’t remember being given the choice, so I got the former. It wasn’t the front of my gums that hurt so much, it was the roof of my mouth. I won’t go into it but if you really want to know, just ask.
Dr. Bashiri and his staff were wonderful though.
