We went into the appointment with him not knowing what to expect at all and he was visibly anxious. Dr French looked at him from the doorway and asked to speak to me "mom" outside not even bothering to learn my or my sons name. She told me in the hallway that "she's been doing this a long time and she can tell me right now with how upset he is, the three teeth extraction is not going to happen today." I asked her to go speak to him and tell him what to expect and give him the chance to calm down a bit. She did not answer his questions at all, he kept asking if it was going to hurt and she wouldn't say yes or no just that once she started she couldn't stop and he would feel pressure. He said he wanted it done that day and she said it wasnt his decision, it was hers and his moms. Then she didnt ask me my opinion just told us it wasn't happening. Horrible experience at a pediatric dentistry. It's like they don't understand kids and wouldn't talk to him as a person. Never going back to see Dr French and am now looking for a new dentist office.

Dr. Afkham is a hidden gem of a dentist! I've been going to the Davis Smile Center since 2019, and…read moreDr. Afkham is the best dentist I've ever had. The front desk staff and dental hygienists are all incredibly friendly and professional, and I've especially appreciated how easy it is to keep my insurance updated with them and the clear communication they've had about billing. Dr. Afkham does the work himself! He does the cleanings and pays close attention to what he finds. A couple of appointments ago, he found a cavity (my first ever--I was really nervous about it!) and explained the cost of treating it right there and had me treated and out in half an hour. He is incredibly calm and competent, which makes getting dental care much less intimidating than it would be otherwise. Dr. Afkham is the dentist I recommend to all of my friends!

Doctor Jafar Afham grabbed my arm and pushed me out of his office very rudely on March 27th because…read moreHe disagreed that I think they sent me a misleading message.  He then cheated on the police that he merely "opened the door for me". So, HE ASSAULTED ME AND THEN CHEATED TO THE POLICE. I visited the clinic for an exam regarding wisdom tooth extraction March 27th. Based on prior communication, I was under the impression that the visit was a preparatory step for the extraction. However, I was informed during the visit that the extraction could not be performed there and was referred elsewhere. A misunderstanding arose from the clinic's initial communication, which I believed to be misleading. Upon addressing this with the front desk, a disagreement ensued. Dr. Afham intervened, and the situation escalated. Dr. Afham forcefully instructed me to leave, resulting in him physically grabbing my arm and pushing me all the way out of the office, causing my phone to fall and further adding to my distress. I immediately contacted the police to report the incident. However, Dr. Afham provided a conflicting account, stating he merely "opened the door" for me, which led to the police being unable to take further action. This experience was not only humiliating but raised serious concerns about the professional conduct at Davis Smile Center. It is particularly disheartening given my history as a loyal patient over the past three years. I am considering filing grievances with relevant professional and regulatory bodies, including the Delta Dental Program, the Dental Board of California, and the Better Business Bureau, to seek redress and ensure such conduct is appropriately addressed. I appreciate any help that could help to resolve this issue satisfactorily. If you are also being treated unfairly by Doctor Jafar Afham, I'd be happy to help too.I can be reached at davis_sc_grievance@proton.me.

I finally decided to get braces as an adult to be more confident in my smile. I got consultations…read morefrom three well known orthodontists in Davis and Vacaville. Kelleher was a newer office in Davis so I gave them a try. The prices that I got from these places quoted had a huge range, almost $3k difference! One of the other places even wanted to charge a consultation fee, which was unusual. Kelleher didn't charge a consultation fee, had the most reasonable price AND the shortest treatment time (he quoted 1.5 years). He was the only one who was accommodating to my wishes to get braces instead of Invisalign. One place even told me that with my case, braces were impossible. What?! Clearly that's not right. Seems like some of these orthodontists push Invisalign because it's easier for them. Anyway I went with Kelleher. First he put in these special braces on the top, just to get things roughly in place, since my top teeth needed the most work. Then he changed out the braces to other kinds, and I had the works since my case was challenging. They had to do bumps, and hooks, and rubber bands, and other things I'm forgetting. But soon enough my smile came together and I was 90% there in less than 1.5 years. It took me a longer to be truly finished because I took a break in between when I had my second baby but he was super accommodating with that too. Eventually I asked to finish with Invisalign since after my teeth were roughly in place it made more sense with my schedule. I am really happy with my experience, the cost, the outcomes, the service of Kelleher's team. The only drawback, if you can call it that, is that they are only in Davis on Wednesday so all my appointments were on Wednesday. That didn't bother me at all. Once I had to drive to Folsom for the initial X-rays, but wasn't a big deal. Overall I would highly recommend!

**A flawless experience from start to finish**…read more My daughter just completed her orthodontic journey with **Dr.Tan**, and I can't recommend him and his team highly enough. **Thoughtful, no‑pressure planning** Before we ever committed, Dr.Tan met with us for two complimentary assessment visits--about six months apart--to track my daughter's dental development. Both times he said, "Not yet," and sent us home with clear next‑step guidance. I appreciated the honesty and zero sales pressure. **Transparent pricing & flexible payments** When it was finally time to begin, the staff walked us through every cost, insurance detail, and payment‑plan option. They made it easy to choose a schedule that fit our family budget--no surprises later. **Expert care with a personal touch** My daughter started with a palate expander, and we received hands‑on training so we could adjust it confidently at home. When the braces went on, the entire team was incredibly patient with our sometimes‑anxious kiddo--hand‑holding and extra time when she needed it, but also the occasional firm reminder about the importance of good hygiene. (Braces are a partnership!) **Results that speak for themselves** Fast‑forward to today: her smile is stunning, her bite is perfect, and her confidence has soared. We're thrilled with the outcome and grateful for the professionalism, kindness, and consistency we experienced at every visit. Five stars only because Yelp doesn't allow six. If you're considering braces for yourself or your child, do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with Dr.Tan--you'll be in the best possible hands!
