Otherwise, your experience may include: - Him and his nurse refusing to let you leave if you don't stop crying. If you're lucky enough, you'll even get yelled at too! - Not having anything explained to you - Not getting sedating properly Also, I took a look at the other reviews from WebMD, Google, and Yelp. Dating back a whole decade, this man has bruised kids' arms, and yells at them excessively. You don't even need to take my word for it -- you can see the photos pop up when you search his name. This is already hard enough for adult patients to deal with, so I can only imagine how horrible it is for the kids. Cruel people like this do not deserve to have a medical license, let alone be actively practicing dentistry. Mr. McAboy, may nobody else be harmed under your care.

Five stars simply aren't enough for Dr. Eslami and his incredible team…read more From my very first consultation through surgery and recovery, I felt genuinely cared for. Dr. Eslami is one of the kindest, most compassionate physicians I have ever met. His calm demeanor, patience, and genuine concern for his patients immediately put me at ease. He took the time to answer every question, never made me feel rushed, and treated me with such kindness that I always felt I was in the best hands. Dr. Eslami is also an exceptionally skilled periodontist. I originally expected gum grafting on two teeth, but during surgery he was able to successfully treat four teeth in addition to performing my frenectomy. His precision, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome far exceeded my expectations. The results have been nothing short of amazing. The before-and-after photos I attached were taken just one week apart, and I was blown away by the transformation in such a short time. Knowing that I'll continue to heal over the coming months makes me even more appreciative of Dr. Eslami's expertise. I also want to recognize Shauna, Sarah, and Aubrey, who made every visit a positive experience. They were warm, compassionate, reassuring, and genuinely fun to be around. Their kindness helped turn what could have been a stressful experience into one where I actually looked forward to my appointments. Thank you as well to David for helping coordinate my care throughout the process. It is rare to find a practice where exceptional clinical skill is matched by such genuine compassion. That culture clearly starts with Dr. Eslami and extends throughout his entire team. Thank you all for changing my smile and for taking such wonderful care of me. I am incredibly grateful and recommend Dr. Eslami and his team without hesitation. I need more periodontal treatment again, and I won't hesitate for a second to return to Dr. Eslami.

My whole family was with Forward Dental for more than 14 years. Initially, we were very satisfied…read morewith the dental service, despite the fact that dentists were constantly changing. The one we are seeing now, Dr. Michael Ruen, has our trust. All dental work that he did was of high quality. If there was a possibility to review him separately, I will give him five (5) stars. The following review is related to ForwardDental payment policies and customer treatment, mostly by their manager. Since recent, after the ownership changed, Forward Dental started overcharging patients for every service. Without my knowledge, those overcharges accumulated to over $400 during 2024. I managed to get the reimbursement after hours spent in calls and unplanned visits (as others stated, they don't answer calls or it is impossible to do anything over the phone). Despite the significant sum of overcharged money that they kept for some time and finally reimbursed, by the end of the last year, ForwardDental sent me a request for an additional payment. They sent me a "proof" in a form of the printout of services and payments from June to December 2024, conveniently (for them) excluding the payment of $252 that was paid out of pocket on the day of service. I emailed them copies of all payments and requested a new statement confirming that I don't owe them anything. As a matter of fact, I went through all financial transactions with them, through their charges and payments by my insurance or myself, and the final result was that instead of me owing them, actually they owe me $7.92. Three weeks after that email, they still didn't find necessary to address the client's request and send me an answer to my inquiry. It is not comforting to see that other clients had similar problems with unresponsiveness of Forward Dental manager, Kiana Werner. At our first encounter, she gave me her card and told me to send her email whenever I have any problem. I did it two times - once for refund, and now, for false overcharge. She never responded. This is very unprofessional and disrespectful. Because of overcharges, unresponsiveness and disrespectful treatment of customers by their manager, I can't recommend this practice.

My dentist Dr. Madiha Khan and amazing and ensured to thoroughly inspect my teeth. She gave me great recommendations and they were able to get me scheduled for my next visit immediately. Overall, I would highly recommend this dental practice!

My wife was turned around by the receptionist (chubby white lady with light brown hair) for her…read moreappointment, while she was in pain, because the receptionist was confidently incorrect about which insurance we have and tried to get my wife to pay for more than what she was having done that day. When she questioned her about it and tried to explain that she was wrong about the payment and offered to provide proof, she was rudely told she either had to pay what she was asked to pay or cancel her appointment. Then when asked if we could prove there was an error after the fact if we could get a refund, she rudely said "we could talk about." She ultimately ended up making my wife reschedule for TWO WEEKS later. I called to complain and talked to a different woman who was very understanding, professional, and patient. (despite my frustration) She correctly identified my insurance, walked me through what I should have been asked to pay, and rescheduled my wife for two days later. This first woman, who again, turned away my wife who was in pain for her appointment despite her having the correct insurance she claimed to have, was completely unreasonable and unprofessional. She extended the pain my wife was having in her tooth and embarrassed her in front of the other people who were in line behind her. If I were you and this lady was the receptionist I would wait until someone else was available and refuse to work with her. She no idea what she is doing and a miserable person to interact with. (This is not the first time shes been uninformed, unhelpful, and rude to us) This woman should have no place interacting with patients in any manner.

Here I am now trying to schedule a routine dental exam can not even get an appointment scheduled or a payment put in place for a balance that I was reassured insurance was covered or I would've paid for it out of pocket just like I did for my cleaning and exam to see what the problem. I would just have them make sure what ever procedure needed or required the insurance company will pay and not have bad Debt added to your name or profile because in reality the insurance company don't cover the dental procedures required. Overall alright I guess just don't like hidden surprises fees or policy that have a bill added to you without you knowing. Just sad bad debt was added without communication of payment plan or other ways to take care of the bill insurance didn't take care especially if you're paying the bad debt to come to good standing.

My last review of Modern Touch was 10 years ago, and I've been a client for about 15 years…read more I've seen a multitude of dentists at the office over the years as staff has changed, and the work has consistently been really well done. Cheryl, my hygienist, and Dr. McDonald and Ashley have been the most amazing team over the last year, in particular as I cracked two teeth as a result of extreme stress. They guided me through a very painful process and made sure my mouth feels and looks perfect at the conclusion of the work. The work performed is of high quality (as are the labs that they use - for crowns, implants, mouth guards). They have stayed on top of technology so imaging is easy, painless and comprehensive, including 3D digital models. They show the utmost care to their patients before, during and after procedures. The staff is friendly but still professional. The work above all else is thorough and exceedingly well executed. My husband has also had good experiences over the years (although he has needed less dental work, thankfully!) but as a family, we are beyond pleased. I couldn't recommend this dentist more highly. There are some cases when work is authorized by insurance at a certain expected amount, but the actual charges are different. I have never had an issue with this, as it's clearly explainable (the procedure had to go a different way, or the insurance covered something at a higher percent). The clinic "banks" any overpayment for us, and we use it for any charges we might accrue going forward. They have offered to reimburse us as well, but with a family that goes to the same dental clinic, keeping the overpayment there simplifies things for my purposes and I appreciate that they are willing to do that. Highly recommend the team at Modern Touch!

I'm honestly still shocked by the way I was treated at this dental office…read more I came in as a new patient for a routine cleaning and checkup. I had no pain, no symptoms, and no dental emergency. Before the dentist entered the room, I politely asked the dental assistant whether it might be possible to focus on the cleaning that day and defer X-rays, due to recent medical imaging and extensive international air travel. It was a calm, normal question -- there was zero tension. When Dr. Dina Kaloti, DDS came in, everything changed. She immediately stated that all new patients must have a full set of X-rays. I explained my situation and offered a compromise: bitewing X-rays now, panoramic X-rays at a later visit. That compromise was rejected outright. During the conversation, she questioned my understanding of radiation and then said -- verbatim -- "Are you a dentist? Did you go to DDS school?" This was said in front of the dental assistant, with the door open and staff just outside. It was demeaning and completely unnecessary. She then told me that my questions were making "her and her staff uncomfortable" and said I would be asked to leave unless I agreed to all X-rays. No staff member ever appeared uncomfortable -- my interactions with them before and after were friendly and normal. Feeling pressured and not wanting to leave without care, I agreed. Ironically, during the panoramic X-ray, the chest shield was placed incorrectly and the X-ray had to be repeated, which was exactly what I had hoped to avoid. After all the X-rays were done, I was then told that because of my questions, my teeth would not be cleaned that day -- the entire reason I had come in. I returned the following day for the cleaning. The hygienist was kind and professional, but it was clear that my private medical questions from the prior visit were known within the office, which raised serious concerns about privacy. I have never been asked to leave a business or medical office in my life. Asking reasonable questions about one's care should not result in humiliation, pressure, or denial of service. I attempted multiple times to speak with the practice owner and never received a response. I would strongly caution anyone who values respectful communication and consent-based care. Also, after waiting for a personal conversation or a call with the owner after five days I have still not received a call. This is another warning to search elsewhere for dental services.

The office and lobby *look* very nice. The receptionists that I have interacted with were mostly rude and unhelpful. This is the type of place that will find all possible ways to make money off you, whether it's necessary or not. The fake-nice Barbie doll dentist barely looked in my mouth during the "exam". My son who has only had a couple of fillings in 17 years, suddenly incurred 5 cavities since our last dental appointment 6 months ago??? Like a dummy, I went ahead and had the work done on 3 of his teeth. (I was charged $438 for 3 surfaces on cavities that were described as tiny. There was an issue with our insurance coverage, and I later found out they weren't covered. They quoted me around $120 copay which I paid at the time of service. Then several months later, we received a bill for over $1000. They did not even have the decency to mail me a bill. They emailed it to my minor child. What?!?! I called to request someone to review the situation & work with me, since I am a single mother and I cannot afford a dental bill like this. they mis-quoted me and their prices they charge are outrageous. I thought that they would try to work something out, based on the multiple errors made by their staff. No one called me back. I waited 10 days and called again. The woman who answered the phone, lied and told me that someone had already called me back. Nope! they did not. She also told me that they would not consider adjusting my bill at all. Horrible service!! Additionally, at my exam, the dentist had told me that I needed a crown and my co-pay would be over $1000. I had 2 crowns placed in the past two years (at another practice) each co-pay was $500-$600. That gives you an idea of how they will appoint the highest price materials and/or overcharge you. (I was never offered a less expensive type of crown when I balked at the price). I said I'm not going to do that right now, and they harassed me multiple times to make the appointment. I have since switched to a new Dentist. I made an appointment for them to quote me on the crown. Guess what, they told me that I do not need a crown on that tooth! However, I did have a cavity on another tooth, in which I had complained about sensitivity. There was clearly a cavity on the side of that tooth, which the LFD Dentist should have seen if she actually looked in my mouth. Nicole called me back. She was condescending and unapologetic and refused to even consider adjusting my bill. She did offer a 10% uninsured discount which brought the bill from $1100 to $1000. Really no help at all!!! This place is a total scam. I will be contacting the DSPS regarding my experience at this place!
