Daniel B Binafard, DDS

This is the absolute worst dentist that I have ever been to. The front desk lady is the worst attitude women I’ve ever met. I have three young ones still going thru treatment. The wait time is over two hrs always. And it’s always overcrowded, hot, no seating. The TV runs playing rated R DVDs and when asked to turn them off the front desk women just rolls her eyes. The treatment to my children was awful, at one point a member of his staff asked my daughter, who
Is 12, if he can perform her cavity fill, and I said well are you a dentist? And he said well I’m not doctor Benefard !! And I said well if your trained to do the job then do it. If not then you shouldn’t be working here, they are crooks, only supposedly can fill 1 cavity per month, only one visit per month. We have HMO and this was only choice near us. But we have now moved dentist. This experience was horrible for my wife as well as the doctor speaks very low to women as he feels very superior to women, my wife did not deserve this treatment, our kids will not be put thru this horrible experience any longer. I ONLY PUT ONE STAR BECAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY OPTION. Otherwise I would have gave ZERO stars. VERY DISSATISFIED!

You saved my life and I owe you big time! Thank you Dr. Binafard for seeing me after hours and always being honest and up front with me. I hope I dont have to see you again :)

Dr. Daniel B Binafard is a GREAT Dental Surgeon.
He is personable, friendly, and very professional.
The Dental Staff is also very amazing, and very good technicians.
He is my Dentist nww, for life.

I can’t express enough what an amazing dentist Dr. Binafard is. His staff is friendly and very helpful. I went in for a second opinion (I was told by another dentist that I need a root canal). It turns out I did not need one. Dr Binafard saved me a root canal and crown (major $$$$). He’s honest and that’s amazing!!! I highly recommend him.

I don’t recommend this dentist at all. I waited 45 minutes to be called in. I got my x-​rays immediately and again waited to see Dt. Binafard. He introduced himself and said everything looks good without looking into
my mouth. He looked into my mouth for a about 5 seconds and said someone will be in to clean my teeth. The technician came in and only cleaned my bottom front teeth for a 3 minutes then started to polish all my teeth sloppily. She did not clean any of my other teeth. I am normally get a 45 minute cleaning at another office. I will not be going back. I already changed my dental provider.

Our experience was not great! First, the front office staff was rude. Second, this ‘Doctor’ did a root canal on my 12 year old and finished it in 15 minutes. I addressed why so fast and why was he jamming at her mouth. His answer was ‘that he had been doing this for a long time that’s why he was quick’. Sealed her up and off he sent us. Took her to another dentist and said it was a poor job especially since her gums are not mature. Plus she had an infection and didn’t seal up the root canal right! I should have listened to the reviews and cancelled my appointment when I read them! To those that had a great experience good but to those who didn’t sorry and those doing the research DO NOT STOP HERE! Hit the NEXT button!

Dr. B has been my family dentist for more than 25yrs… he and his staff have always been the best. I’ve had fillings, root canals and braces. Never hurt more than it should… glad to say my teeth look clean and healthy. I now bring my Boys here and they love Dr. B… and no he is not in it to rip you off… you may wait a while but I guarantee he is worth the wait.

Ok, lets be honest here. I’m TERRIFIED of the dentist as it is and well after reading every awful review that was on here, I was thisclose to canceling my appointment. BUT, my aunt, uncle and co-​worker are clients of this office and well, the pain in my jaw was lingering so I decided to just go ahead and go. Well. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a warm office assistant whom I immediately asked if the dentist was patient with scared patients. Her reply was sincere that he was patient and understanding to each case; despite her response, I must admit I was still skeptical (especially with the sound of drills going on in the background). The facility is fairly small and totally has the «dentist» office smell. They have video game consoles and each dental area has its own flat screen tv. They have an adequate sized lobby with some comfy sofas.
So, finally x-​rays and meeting Dr. Binafard… Upon meeting him, I knew then and there that the reviews I had read were off. He wasn’t difficult to understand, and he wasn’t this money hungry beast (how I envisioned him after the reviews). If anything, quite honestly — I felt informed and cared after. He took the time to explain what I had (TMJ) and answered all my questions without any hesitation or annoyance (And believe me, I have questions for days). He did not make me feel pressured at any point on what option I wanted to choose for my TMJ treatment. And I not once felt like he was trying to make money off of me. If anything, he seemed sincere with my best interest in mind. Additionally, in regards to his dental assistant that performed my cleaning, she was very nice and patient with me as well. I can honestly say both her and the dentist consistently asked how I was doing during the cleaning. I felt like they took care of me, and quite honestly? Well, I am glad I didn’t cancel my appointment based on the previous reviews. Dentist Binafard is not a bad dentist. In all honesty (from someone who loathes dentists)… I have to say, Dr. Binafard is worth giving an opportunity.

DO NOT GO TO HIM! They are crooks. They overcharged me $ 700. I had to submit a claim with my insurance company to start an investigation, and they confirmed that he over charged me. But he only refunded my money after my husband (an attorney) wrote a demand letter. I called Pioneer Dental over and over and they kept giving me the run-​around. I’m amazed that he’s still in business. I’m sure he gets away with overcharging people all the time, especially if English isn’t their first language.

i had a crown done by Dr. B and not only he was caring and knowledgeable, but the price was most reasonable. I enjoy the fact that I was treated quickly and with not much pain… I will be back for future visits !

I went here a couple of years ago in a lot of pain with no insurance. I told the front desk I was in a lot of pain and she told me they would see me right away… Finally 2 hours later of holding back tears they finally call me in and take x rays and tell me that I need a root canal. I asked if they could give me some anesthesia or anything to kill the pain while I fill out the paperwork and they refused. I had to run a credit check to see if I would qualify for payments when I didn’t (because I had insufficient credit not bad credit) I had to call my mother for her to give them her credit card number over the phone. Finally after three hours of waiting I got treated. They didn’t care that I had been in pain for hours. They did a crappy job and I had to get it redone by another dentist about 3 months later. I hate everything about this dentist. His front desk, his staff, that lady (I think it’s his wife) that does the insurance paperwork. WORST DENTAL EXPERIENCE EVER!

I get angry thinking of this doctor. He tried his best to avoid my insurance. He neer went through my insurance when he should have. He only went through them for my deep cleaning and he charged me 200 for an irrigation that he never explained was not covered by my insurance. He swindled me int paying more than I should have. Don’t go here

This Dentist is definitely in it for the money. I am totally unsure of his assessment. He told me I needed all four wisdom teeth removed, I come to see the surgeon and he says my top wisdom teeth haven’t grown in yet. He assessed me for about 3 mins you could barely understand him and he seemed to only be interested in selling Invisaline and he tries to slickly con you into agreeing. Once you say no, you get some attitude. Then your on your way. Now I need to find a new dentist! Great!
Saw the dentist for less then a minute to check up on the progress of my wisdom teeth removal.
This dental office is a Joke!

Tried to charge me $ 1,900 for a crown and root canal when it should of been $ 1,100 for both with my insurance. I had to call my insurance and then they finally took the extra $ 800 off my bill. I only chose this place since I was in serious pain at the time and this dentist was the only one in the area open late and on Saturdays.
Two years later, my crown fell off during some vigorous chewing and they managed to cement it back on within 30 minutes including wait time. Free of charge of course, they know better than to mess with me.

If you are an HMO patient don’t even bother coming to this scam artist. From the moment I stepped foot into this office I was told that it was $ 50 for an emergency visit. When I called to make the appointment the receptionist never disclosed that there was an extra fee. I asked when I would be seen had a I made a regular appointment and she said November. I could not believe my ears… 4 months to see a dentist. I paid the amount because I really need to have my tooth seen but I also told her that I had some sores in my mouth and could he look at those too. She said yes. I figured if I was going to be seen I should get everything looked at once I was there. Once I was called the dentist never took an x-​ray or even looked at my tooth. He started to rattle off amounts for crowns and then I asked what about the sores… He said I cannot look at those today you will have to make another appointment. I told him that his receptionist had said he would look at them and he rattle off that I had gum disease and that would be about $ 200 for each quadarant… approximately $ 500 for gum treatment and $ 550 for the crown. Mind you that he never even examined me or took x-​rays. He just busted out his calculator and said that people who chose HMO insurance just don’t know what they are signing up for… I have never been treated like this. I will be reporting them to my insurance as well as the better business bureau.

This dental office has defrauded my 80 year old mother of nearly $ 3000 in shoddy and poor dental work. We are currently suing them in Small Claims Court and have brought the matter to the CA Dental Board. You may consider contacting them and file a complaint
