The Drs and staff are so nice and they explain things so well. The office is SO clean and neat. The staff in the lobby is very professional and friendly. This dentist office was a breath of fresh air after we took my daughter to the dentist in Alpine and they said she needed 8 fillings... and it was not true! I got a second opinion and i'm so thankful we did. Be careful out there parents some dentists are not doing it for the right reason. Smile Builders dentist/ Ortho is 100% the best. All 8 of my kids go here and no fear of the dentist at all!

Dr. Soudabeh Sharafi is unprofessional, and unethical. The first time I experienced this with her…read morewas several years ago when I was forced to pay for unneeded sedation which insurance didn't cover. Recently, I attempted to give her the benefit of the doubt and came in again because sedation was needed. During the last appointment, I overlooked her dog running around the office, almost escaping out the front door of the building, because I love dogs, though was thinking pet hair floating around a space clients have their mouths open isn't ideal. The final level of completely unprofessional and unethical behavior, however, came today when she texted to schedule a followup appointment to complete treatment. While texting back and forth to find a good time to come in, I asked if I could make a business suggestion. She asked what I meant, so with every intent on being helpful I mentioned her website address as it relates to how clients see it, "delmarpedo.com", in that "pedo" these days is mostly used as shorthand for pedophile. As she said I am the only one who ever pointed this out, I replied that it's likely because it is an awkward conversation and maybe she should check with a trusted friend. This was all it took to have her refuse to communicate with my children and me about follow up treatment. She made a point of telling me as of May, she would no longer serve Medi-Cal patients, I assume to shame me for having Medi-Cal at present and to assuage her own tender ego. When she recently gave up her own office to share space with another practice, I assumed it was that the rent was high and she didn't have enough clients to stay there which is why I mentioned the web address. Being the "pedo" dentist of Del Mar, might be an extra bad look these days with the Epstein Files in the media, so my bringing it up was done in the spirit of helping a business owner who might not have taken the connotation into account. As she clearly looks down on her Medi-Cal clients, she was unable to see me as someone who could help her. Unfortunately, with this continuous pattern of poor behavior, I don't think anyone can.

I have a son on the autism spectrum and before coming to Dr. Sharafi my son had some major work…read moreunder complete sedation before at about 5 years old with another dentist that went fine but I was determined as his mother to never have to go through that again and get him used to the dentist so we can do preventative care instead of major fixes like that. We moved to the Escondido area and started seeing Dr. Sharafi. We first came a few years ago and my first impression was they had a really nice office and set up with ceiling TVs, headphones, etc. that are a hit for my son. The person who really makes this office is the dental assistant, Shakira. She is the one who primarily works with the kids for routine cleanings and x-rays. She has always been so nice and patient with my son. My first impression of Dr. Sharafi was she is not personable but for some reason I liked her because she is firm and gets it done without pushing his limits too far which is tricky. That's what I like in his teachers and now in his dentist apparently. Both Dr. Sharafi and her assistant, Shakira are really good about that; being patient, firm and encouraging without pushing him too far to traumatize him. At first all he could do was simple mouth x-rays and teeth cleaning and even with that he was terrified but I kept taking him back every six months so he can get used to it. It's really a collaborative effort. Here we are now a few years later (he is about to be nine now) and he is doing full mouth x-rays, cleanings and the reason for this review primarily is because he had his first procedure today where he required a few extractions. I never thought he would be able to get through something like that including taking oral sedation (not completely out) and laughing gas. Shakira wrapped him up "like a burrito" and he was completely fine with it because he has built trust with her over the years and Shakira talked him through every step with very little intervention on my part which is HUGE. She is so good at her job. When everything was ready, Dr. Sharafi was super QUICK and EFFICIENT and we were done. I was very pleased with today and the milestone we accomplished. I am relieved that we can get my son who is on the autism spectrum to get through some dental work and do preventative care rather than letting it get so bad and have to completely put him out again to work on his mouth. I will agree with some prior reviews that over the years Dr. Sharafi has recommended some things I found questionable but as parents we need to ask the right questions to understand and she would always answer my questions without issues. I pretty much always needed time to think them over and do some research and they never had a problem with that and just saw us again in six months if I declined treatment. Altogether, if you are looking for professionalism and patience- I recommend Dr. Sharafi's office. Her dental assistant, Shakira is just awesome to your kids and to you. And if you decide that any treatment recommended is necessary and that your child is ready for it, you can trust that Dr. Sharafi will get it done efficiently and make the experience as best as possible with Shakira by her side!

Not happy! We went there because my son has his canines…read moreteeth that are growing toward the incisives teeth. She was recommended by a pediatric dentist in escondido. She ordered removal of 4 baby teeth saying that the "grown-up" teeth would come out more quickly and from that they would stop pushing toward the roots. It has been 1 1/2 year and the canines are still not out. The second time we went in there she said she would not charge us for the xray (which she did) and told us she would asked the insurance a quote on a "Teeth Spacer". Her office actually charge the insurance for a procedure that never occured. I had to call them and let them know their mistake. They actually returned the check to the insurance. What a drag,i'm not going there anymore and i'm currently looking for another orthodontist.
