I can't say enough good things about Dr. Alexandre Aalam and his team. I recently experienced a…read moredental emergency, and Dr. Aalam went completely out of his way to help me. From the moment I contacted the office, he was incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely caring. What stood out most was the personal attention he provided. In a stressful situation, he made me feel like a priority and took the time to explain everything clearly while ensuring I received the care I needed as quickly as possible. His expertise and calm, reassuring manner immediately put me at ease. It's rare these days to find a specialist who combines such exceptional clinical skill with such a high level of personal service. I am extremely grateful for the help he provided and would recommend Dr. Aalam without hesitation to anyone in need of periodontal or implant care. Thank you, Dr. Aalam, for your professionalism, responsiveness, and kindness. It made all the difference.

Having all four wisdom teeth taken out at once is not something to be taken lately, especially with one more complicated one-- but if I had to do it anywhere, I'm glad it was here. The whole team made the process go as quickly and smoothly and pain-free as possible. Thank you!

Words can't express how grateful I am to Dr. Shahi and her incredible team. Two years ago, I walked…read moreinto her office after losing a tooth (thanks to an unfortunate bagel!) and dealing with the aftermath of previous dental work that had left me not only missing a tooth, but also much of the surrounding gum tissue and wall. I felt overwhelmed and wasn't sure if my smile could ever be restored. From the very first appointment, Dr. Shahi and her team treated me like family. Every step of the process was handled with so much kindness, patience, and attention to detail that I always knew I was in the best hands. The entire journey took nearly two years and included several surgeries, but somehow it never felt that long. I actually looked forward to every appointment because everyone in the office made me feel so welcome--they've truly become friends. Dr. Shahi performed each surgery with exceptional skill and compassion, making every procedure as comfortable and painless as possible. She always took the time to check in on me, answer my questions, and make sure I was doing well. The care I received went far beyond the dental work itself. I'm honestly a little sad that this journey has come to an end, but I'm incredibly thankful for everything Dr. Shahi and her team have done for me. They didn't just restore my smile--they gave me my confidence back. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

I specifically asked before booking, at check-in, and again after the appointment. The visit itself lasted about 1-2 minutes. The dentist performed a brief visual exam and told me everything looked fine. No periodontal probing, charting, or treatment planning was done. The office initially billed my insurance under a comprehensive periodontal evaluation code, which did not reflect the services performed. After I questioned it, they resubmitted the claim under a limited exam code, which was then denied due to frequency limitations. I was ultimately required to pay $50 to avoid collections. What disappointed me most was not just the billing issue, but the lack of empathy when I raised concerns to "Rafi". There was no acknowledgment of the miscommunication or incorrect initial coding .. just a firm statement that it was "my responsibility." Clear communication about coverage and better billing transparency would have prevented this situation. I hope the office improves this process for future patients. very disappointed.

**Revised to address the Doctor's response - what an awful, untrustworthy and condescending person…read more First, he called me to discuss this review and offered a free consultation in exchange for taking down this review, which I believe is a violation of Yelp's terms. Second, what he states below is completely different from both what his staff said over the phone and not at all what he shared with me when we spoke. He was adamant that they needed to charge all fees up front. He reiterated numerous times that he wasn't a benefits expert but he has advisors and staff he trusts to understand it better. So when I shared that I am well versed on insurance benefits, both as a patient and a plan administer for my own company, I thought he might actually take interest in learning about how unethical it is to charge a patient twice. Instead he repeatedly spoke over me and told me that - while he himself wasn't knowledgeable on insurance, clearly I must still be wrong. Now he's writing that they only do this in some cases (no insurance or out of network), but all the sudden he's now saying that they only charge an estimate when the are in network - first time that's being said. This person continually spoke over me and let his ego drive the conversation. I hung up when it was clear that he had zero respect for me or the time I offered after he asked to speak to me. In no world is this someone I would trust with the health of my jaw or ever being under anesthesia. To purposely call someone to deride them when you have no real knowledge is its own ethical issue. Get your business in order, sir. First, it took three calls and two voicemails to even hear from anyone. Second, the billing practices are completely unethical - they bill you up front for all services AND then bill your insurance. They claim they'll reimburse you whatever insurance decides to pay. It's beyond unethical. Finally, their front office is wildly unhelpful. Not only do they not return calls, but they can't answer basic questions like how much a consultation costs. Between ethics violations, insurance fraud and incompetent administration, I'm not sure how they got so many 5 star reviews without paying for them (insanely common for dentists and plumbers on Yelp).
