I tend to get pretty anxious about dental visits, but Amy, my hygienist, was so friendly and made me feel completely at ease. She was really patient and took the time to explain everything she was doing, which helped calm my nerves a lot. My only feedback would be about the cost clarity. I went in thinking I was just getting a routine cleaning, but ended up needing a deeper cleaning, which added an extra $93 to the bill. I was also told I'd need to come back in six weeks for the routine cleaning, which would be covered by my insurance. I wish I'd been made aware of this at the start so I could have been prepared for the additional charge. Aside from that, everything went really well. The staff was professional and friendly, and I'll be back for my next visit. Amy really made the whole experience much less stressful, and I'm grateful for that!

I would like to give a special acknowledgment to my hygienist Amy. I have lost count regarding how many times I have moved as well as how many hygienists have treated me. But without doubt, Amy is by FAR the best of them all. She is extremely knowledgeable, very thorough, enthusiastic, VERY patient, and explains everything in a clear, precise manner. In addition to her superior dental skills she is also a truly wonderful person. Immediately upon meeting Amy it like she's been your best friend forever. She is genuinely warm and always is a highly interesting conversationalist. My family and myself always look forward to seeing Amy. Without any reservations, I highly recommend Dr. Shepard and his practice at Modern Dental of Durham.

I never had cause to complain about a dentist, but I also never had cause to celebrate until I…read moreencountered Khani Dental. In December of 2025, I finally faced the fact that it was time either to intervene in the slow-and-steady decline of my teeth, or throw in the towel and get dentures. Dr. Arash Khani listened closely to my story, taking into careful consideration all the issues and concerns I expressed, including my general aversion to dental work, my lack of confidence in myself to maintain healthy teeth and gums, and my budget--I do not have the luxury of dental insurance. He subsequently presented me with likely scenarios if I were to choose either to continue ignoring the problem or to give up and replace all my natural teeth. He contrasted those options with a detailed treatment plan that could restore my smile. Thank goodness I chose to put my trust in him and his recommendations! What initially drew me to this particular practice was its proximity to my home; it's located across Banks Street from Tymberline Shopping Center, three short blocks from my front door. But my happiness with the convenient location was quickly supplanted by my delight with the people who comprise the staff. It is they who have left the strongest impression, and I'd like to tell you a little about each of those who've worked with me. First, there's Joanna at the front desk. I can say without reservation I've never met a person who's more kind and caring, warm and friendly, skilled and knowledgeable. Each and every time I walk through the front door she puts me at ease, and it's clear I'm the most important person in the room. Whenever I have any question about the schedule, or my treatment plan, or my bill, she's immediately on top of the matter and either answers straightaway, or gets me the answer after consulting others in the practice. Joanna is a gem! Saylor is my Dental Hygienist. So far, only two of my visits have been with her, and--given the state of my gums--she's had her work cut out for her! This has resulted in my having had less personal interaction with her compared to the others, but nonetheless it's clear she's exceptionally good at her job and as pleasant company as possible when one's patient's oral cavity is also a construction zone. Cheryl is one of Dr. Khani's Dental Assistants, and she is a truly extraordinary person. Over the course of 16 visits to restore my smile, we got to know each other far better than I can remember having known anyone in a similar role. At each new step in this long dental process--from a few minor extractions, to caps, to crowns, to implants, to a final whitening--I never ceased to be amazed at the depth and breadth of her knowledge of procedures, and her astonishing ability to balance the needs of the doctor getting things accomplished, with my need as a patient to be treated with compassionate kindness and, in my case, delicacy. She always seems to know, with pitch-perfect accuracy, when to squeeze my hand, offering a gentle word, when to suddenly distract my attention, and when the best remedy in the moment is to tell some wretchedly corny dad joke! I feel truly blessed to have her in my life. It sounds odd when I hear myself say it but, because of Cheryl, "I'm looking forward to my next trip to the dentist's office!" This leaves Dr. Arash Khani, himself. While demure and unassuming in manner, this gentleman's life story is an inspiration. I suspect his humble origins and the difficulties he surmounted in reaching his present position play a major part in making him the easy-going and approachable person he is. As a professional, I'm unable to imagine how anyone could be more adept and well-rounded. He is a wizard at pain blocking--very high on my list! He has equipped his practice with the most modern and efficient devices available. It's easy to see how he has taken the practice he inherited from Dr. Keith Taylor and turned it into the magnificent caring environment it is today. Oh! I almost forgot: like Cheryl, he has a fantastic sense of humor!
