I had been prepped to expect ...nothing good: potential bone grafts. Dr. Gregory-Head has an exceptional combination of expertise, confidence, compassion, and humor. I am a seriously anxious patient, forgot to take an Ativan prior to my appointment, and didn't have a single anxiety spike or panic attack. She began by greeting me at the waiting room door, which was just lovely, and apologizing that circumstances brought me to her. In the exam room, my records were already up; she asked questions about my experience thus far; and every step of the way explained what she was doing, clarified why she was proceeding as she was, and ensured that I was okay--all with a confidence, calmness, compassion, and subtle humor that made me feel like I was getting the world's best treatment (which I may, indeed, have gotten). My experience was pain free, amazingly - after four months of prior work, I chalk this up to her precision and expertise. She and patients in the waiting room interacted like old, fast friends. Even the waiting room music was delightful: light, upbeat, kind of Triplets of Belleville belle-epoque cheery. I am filled with relief and only wish that my appointment had happened four months ago, haha. Dr. Belinda Gregory-Head and her team at Dental Implant Partners get all the stars, and a few extra.

I was a patient of Dr. Shirvani's for a little over two years…read more On quality of the dental care alone, she is capable, competent, and professional; however I have a few issues with how she runs her business, and unfortunately I must consider these as part of my holistic review. At the outset, readers should be advised that, as of May 2025, Dr. Shirvani is OUT OF NETWORK with *all* insurers. This means you will pay the FULL cost for all services up-front, and refunded any difference that out of network insurers provide at a later date. The first issue arose when she decided to drop my previous insurer (Delta Dental) in 2024. Delta has a reputation in the industry for not treating dentists fairly (capping the max allowable rates they can charge, despite geography), and I was sympathetic to this. Her office provided ample notice, about 2 months, and I was informed that they would still submit claims on my behalf (and I would be responsible for any difference in fees). What they did not share was that they would immediately start collecting the *full service cost* up front, despite the claim still going through insurance (out of network). For my first visit post-Delta, they estimated a dollar amount they thought Delta would pay and charged me the difference. They did not share how they calculated this amount, and when I inquired about it, I was met with a series of terse emails simply stating that I was charged an amount minus "what I think [Delta] will pay." Not so much transparency. Strike one. As part of this new process, they would refund any overage at a later date. Fine. No details were provided as to when the difference would be received, and I had to call to confirm that they would, in fact, send a check and that I simply had to wait. Meaning I could be out $100's for an unspecified amount of time. So I waited. And waited. For this visit, it took nearly 1.5 months from the date of service to receive the refund, a delay compounded by the fact that she was "out of the country" and apparently all office operations cease when she herself is not present. I felt this to be excessive, and I informed her as such, along with some possible solutions to help the process move more smoothly in the future. This was met with another terse email pretty much suggesting that I leave the practice. I gave it another few months, eventually got a new job, and along with it new insurance. When my next annual exam date approached, I was informed that she was now out of network with ALL providers (even the ones who pay fairly). No notice about this policy was received in the preceding 6 months. When I asked the office manager if my preventative visit would still be 100% covered, she said "you have good insurance" without providing further details. More terse emails. She seemed annoyed that I wouldn't even ask. Strike two. Eventually, I received a pre-approval for the cleaning from my insurance and lo and behold, I would be responsible for the FULL $270 for a preventive exam. The time had come to find a new provider. After informing the office manager that I would be leaving, no attempt was made to retain my business. Upon asking for x-rays and documentation from the last two years, I was met with even more terse emails. I was sent the wrong x-rays at least two times, and when I inquired about the error, she seemed annoyed. Ultimately she sent the correct files, after pressing, with no apology or acknowledgment of the error. Finally, after confirming that I had in fact received all the appropriate documentation, I was sent a sharply worded letter essentially telling me never to bother them again, despite their screw up in sending the wrong files. Strike three. In addition to the above, during my care, there was more than one occasion where I was pushed towards Invisalign (which I politely declined). My teeth are not perfect, but I take good care of them, and Invisalign is simply overkill for my situation. In general, dentists make considerable profit from Invisalign, so I would have been skeptical even with worse teeth. All in all, it's a shame the business side of things isn't as well run as Dr. Shirvani's care & expertise. She clearly knows what she is doing and has good beside manner. But unfortunately with any dentist, you need to consider the full picture. For these reasons, I cannot recommend her practice as a go-to dentist in SF.

I've used Anthem PPO and Delta PPO, which typically reimburse almost all the costs for routine visits, and around half the cost for cosmetic or optional procedures. Dr. Vo's services have been extremely thorough and justify paying a bit more out of pocket. I have never felt pressured to get extra treatments.

I didn't feel the needles which was surprising. About 15 minutes later the procedure started and it went great, so great that I asked to see the tooth because I couldn't believe it had been extracted. This is where things take a turn, I was pleased with the experience that I asked to have my other tooth extracted immediately, they said 1/19/24 was the soonest availability. I arrived at 8:58am for my 9am. I was greeted with a friendly good morning and told the dentist would see me shortly. She greeted me, numbed me up and complimented my shoes. I laid in the chair for about 10 minutes then the procedure started. Within 15 minutes the tooth was pulled. I'll be honest, I never expected it to go like this, people had told me that the worst pain they ever felt was getting a tooth pulled, I felt no pain. Beyond thankful for their treatment.

Medi-cal BEWARE. The…read moreonly reason I would give them one star is because of the visiting dentist that treated me. He was excellent. Coincidentally someone I had seen before, and filling in temporarily for this practice. The appointment started at least 30-45 minutes later than the scheduled time. Definitely an hour by the time I was seen by the dentist post xray. I had a broken tooth. And another that needed a root canal and crown. When I received my x-ray, the knowledgeable visiting dentist who I was seen by recommended a filling for the broken tooth. He stated that the tooth appeared worse on the xray than it actually was, and after some sensitivity testing recommended a filling. After my visit and cleaning I was told by someone at the desk that I could not receive the recommended treatment. Instead, I would need to opt for their $1,300 crown. This was not covered by medi-cal of course. With a little push back I mentioned the dentists recommendation for a filling, presumably more affordable or even covered with my insurance. The woman implied that since he was only visiting he was somehow less capable. She said the scan showed it was too damaged to provide a filling. She never cared to consult the dentist who treated me. Who actually saw and diagnosed the tooth. She said she would consult with the dentist he was covering for, and contact me with treatment options. This never happened. So, be pepared to provide them with the exorbitant fees they bilk for! Or be in good fortunes and have an insurance plan that will satiate their money hungry practices. But if you find yourself vulnerable, in pain, and under insured... I would consider someplace that is compassionate and cares. Who actually places your oral health and comfort in high regard. Shame on you Cosmo Dental.

Is the one who actually does your cleaning and specialized treatments 4. Has the cutest Yorkie to comfort you on your visits.
