My husband and I were initially impressed with this dental office because we could complete all…read morepaperwork online before arriving. When I scheduled, I clearly stated that we only wanted regular cleanings and was told that could be done at our 8 a.m. appointment, with instructions to arrive at 7:45. We arrived early and waited until 8 a.m. before anyone greeted us. The visit started off well the hygienist took x-rays, blood pressure, and saliva tests, which made it seem like they genuinely cared about our health. Unfortunately, things went downhill quickly. After nearly an hour, we still hadn't received a cleaning. Instead, the dentist told me I needed a deep cleaning and crowns. I explained that I'd review those options later but just wanted the standard cleaning I came for, especially since my previous dentist said crowns might be needed eventually but not anytime soon. The office manager, Andrew, then came in to review treatment plans and coverage, but the conversation felt more like a sales pitch. Despite me repeating that I only wanted a basic cleaning, he continued to push the deep cleaning and crowns, ending with, "Okay, we'll just need a signature." At that point, it felt dishonest and pushy. We left without getting a cleaning and won't be returning. Patients should be told upfront if the first appointment is only a consultation and not an actual cleaning and be allowed to decide for themselves if they want additional procedures. Recommendations should remain just that -- suggestions.

She purposely pulled My husband's two teeth instead of one, and gave him an estimate before completing work she never did. She even purposely pulled out even an extra tooth and gave him a price including two implants just to max out his credit line. She then turned around weeks later and said it never included the two implants even though she stated everything was included in the estimate and she pulled another tooth on purpose with no permission. She is now going to be reported to the state and all county and state ethics committees, the Dentistry Boards, and being sued for pain, suffering, and illegal practices and scamming patients for unnecessary dental work without their consent and never completed to complete fraud! She is about to loose everything for being a liar, fraud, and scammer. Not to mention fraudulent business practices and being the most untrustworthy and unethical dentist in Fort Bend County, Texas. I know she will get this and if she does she better get ready to lose her Dentist license to ever practice again. #yourefundorfixthis as promised or get ready to lose everything from being sued for pain and suffering, theft of services, and will be paying all attorney fees a lost wages.

She has by the end of the week, as we are getting our attorney already prepped to go for the TKO!

So, I provided a good review. It takes time to get to know how this organization operates. I had to go back in for a tooth issue where I needed a crown. This is when I started realizing they are not doing something correct. Vinny Barrata is assigned to me as my dentist, he seemed like he knows what he is doing. Anyways, he worked on a tooth of mine..he shaved off the cracks and sized it to set a crown on. Initially had a temporary crown for a couple of weeks while I waited to get my new crown. The problems began after getting my new crown. Note: I have experience with 4 other crowns now been set in my mouth for over 5 years. But the crown that Dr. Barrata did, first try the crown that Barrata set, it popped out in two weeks. I had to go back. Second time, Barratta put a new crown in popped out in 11 months, so I went back recently, Barrata again worked on it...I told him I thought it was the adhesive. But he chose to go the route of using a backup crown that he ordered, and put it on...he still chose to use old adhesive and new crown.. Personally, i told him if he's using the same adhesive, I don't think it will fix it...later the same day in the evening I was having dinner, just eating rice and it popped out again...that's 3 times a crown popped out worked on my tooth by Dr. Barrata. I called the Aliana dental folks asking for help today and they rejected to help me stating Barratta is at another office and the dentist Lana on site cannot assist...so basically saying to me that you need to wait for Dr. Barrata...while I suffer with a jagged tooth. This company operates like a ma and pop shop. The help who was assigned to my case, I found that Dr. Barratta was letting her shave the new crown. I asked the help are you dentist...cuz I was like why is she shaving my tooth...shouldn't a licensed professional be shaving my tooth....she was not a licensed profession...she was Barrata's help basically...when I accused her of not being a dentist...that's immediatly when Barrata stepped it. What I discovered is these dentists that work here 100% empower help/unlicesend folks to pick up some of the work dentists should ideally be doing. Immidiatly Barrata started working on my tooth after I accused the non licensed person of not being a dentist and why she was working on my crown saving and shaping....so messed up. Anyways, same day after Barrata put in a new crow FOR THE 2nd time, he cannot get it right the first time apparantly...same evening a 3rd time my crown fell out while eating rice. I called next morning to get appointment...they were forcing me to wait another day to work with Dr. Barrata...and they kept saying they want to use the same adhesive...but here I am struggling with the back of my toungue cutting up against a shaved tooth since there is no crown....they make me suffer until Barrata gets back to the Richmond location from the Rosenburg location...they asked me to go to the Rosenberg location...but the office manager asked me...I said I cannot, I work from home and they seem to not understand that I have work...going back for fallen crown repeatedly is unaccepted...3 times worked on my by Barrata..I had to go back...they do care I'm sufferring..would not let me see the other dentist on site named Lana. Anyways, I am never going back to this location.....they are kind of getto...and will be advising folks to stay clear of this dental organization going forth. Barrata doesn't know how to keep a crown glued on past 11 months in my experience. Buyer be aware is all.

We're only starting and my particular issue may require many visits. Things of note, the place is clean and in this covid era, fairly strict about Covid procedures. It makes sense, cause you're gonna have to be unmasked in order to have your teeth worked on. They do seem to have state of the art technology compared to my last dentist at Lovett. (I didn't have anything against Lovett Dental, just my employer changed all my insurance and the old dentist wasn't on their dental plan.) It does have a lux feel, which is kinda ridiculous, but would be soothing to those who fear dentists. The first time I watched Netflix in between a bunch of X-Rays during an emergency visit. The next time I just had music on the background. Like again, you don't really need it, it's over the top, but I can see how it would help people. In this one X-Ray chair they had a large plastic tooth and inside lots of toys for kids. So, they would seem to know how to deal with kids. I liked my particular dentist, though I forgot his name. Argh! He was funny, and blunt, which is what I appreciated. He told me only an orthodontist should attempt to remove a certain wisdom tooth I have and no responsible one would. That type of real, did jive well with me. I'm hoping my partiuclar issues will be addressed, as it's only the beginning stages, but so far so good.

They have a nice waiting area and provide snacks and drinks (which I've never taken advantage of because I'm about to get my teeth checked...). The reception are a few regular ladies who are pleasant. The wait is always short, under 10 minutes. I have been seen by either Judy or Bianca. Both are really nice and helpful assistants. My favorite is Bianca, but SADLY she's only a rotational assistant coming from another location. The doctor always stops by for a final check after my clean-up, super nice but just a quick hello. Try not to give a really firm handshake, I think he keeps his hands careful b/c of fine practicing but I always forget and squeeze hard and feel like I'm breaking his hand haha. I personally take great care of my dental health so I haven't had many options done here but they get your xray in a couple of minutes once per year (I'm guessing depends on insurance etc) and I do the flouride swish once a year, they give you a wet towelette to wipe off afterwards. Pretty nice "open layout" rooms with a large reclining chair and a tv with some music. I ALWAYS get the mini toothbrush set goodie bag, after every visit and use it at work (perfect timing for 6 months.) CON: VERY in demand, so make sure you schedule ahead or if you change do it as ahead of time as possible. I have a hard time finding something within a month's need.

Dr. Cho is no longer the doctor here. It is Dr. Reza Memar since 2023…read more Honestly, I'm not used to needing anything beyond a regular cleaning. I visit the dentist every 6 months, brush 3 times a day, and floss twice daily. I don't bleed when I floss, so I was surprised when Dr. Memar said I needed scaling. I came in for the $79 new patient exam, X-ray, and cleaning offer, and since I'm diligent with my oral health, I wasn't prepared to pay $120 for scaling. My issue wasn't the recommendation itself, but how drastically Dr. Memar's demeanor changed once costs came up. During the exam, he said there was no bleeding--just slight inflammation--and offered to charge $20 more than the promo. But afterward, his attitude completely shifted. He became condescending, backtracked to say I was bleeding, and gave me a lecture about gum disease and insurance--even though I had already said I didn't have any. He even told me to come to the back so he could "show me the bleeding," which felt unnecessary and intimidating. The interaction was so uncomfortable that I ended up crying in the chair during my treatment because of how threatening, condescending, and rude he was. I felt completely disrespected and pressured into paying more than expected. Dental care is expensive, and not everyone can afford to spend $79 without receiving treatment. Otherwise, I would have gone elsewhere for a second opinion. I've never had a dentist speak to me that way before. Find an office that makes you feel safe and respected--unfortunately, this one did not.
