I'm claustrophobic and I have a huge phobia to dentists but I was referred here by a coworker years ago and have been extremely happy ever since . He has always been very gentle with my teeth and considerate of my fears. He always keeps me informed about any treatments I need and the priority level of each treatment and He never try's to "upsell" for any treatments that I don't need. I've also been treated by his son Andre in the same office who also shows as much care. The front desk staff are all very polite and knowledgeable about the different insurances and timelines and are always very prompt in getting ahold of my insurance to let me know about my coverages and what's to be expected as far as payments and plans. I've always recommended/referred my friends,family and even new people I meet to come to Dr. Barakat's office for any dental need.

Wisdom Tooth Removal experience? 10/10…read more I'm a scairdy cat. I know...everyone gets nervous. But I'm next level ridiculous. The front office staff, dental assistants, and Dr. Andre Barakat, were all so sweet, and gentle. They have brand new equipment, and relaxing scenes playing on a TV. Dr. Andre patiently talked me through everything. His demeanor is very calming and he got the offending tooth out in about 30 minutes, with no pain. (He numbs your gums first, so you never even feel the Novocain shot.) The pre-procedure panic, was replaced with relief and gratitude for their patience and kindness, and I couldn't stop myself from asking the dental assistant if I could give her a hug. She said yes, but in addition to being a big baby, I'm also a spazz, and I tripped over a little trash can next to the chair. So between that, and the lingering high emotions from being scared, I don't know if I ever did hug her. LOL. (I would have run around the office hugging everyone, but I had embarrassed myself enough for one day, and promptly went home.) As soon as I got home, I took OTC pain meds, figuring I better get ahead of things before the Novocain wore off. I went to bed, woke up the next morning and didn't need any pain relievers at all. If you're scared, and putting off a dental procedure, just call their office and make an appointment. They will take great care of you!

I had an incredibly poor experience here. Despite having a scheduled appointment and driving across…read moretown, I was met with unprofessionalism and clear bias from the moment I walked in. The staff repeatedly and incorrectly insisted my Aetna PPO card was Medi-Cal, making rude assumptions based on my appearance rather than looking at the card in their hands. To make matters worse, I had a prior agreement on the procedure and pricing ($400 max) from the dentist himself, yet the service and attitude I received upon arrival were dismissive and disrespectful. I do not recommend this office to anyone who values their time or expects to be treated with basic dignity.UPDATE: After my initial review, the dentist reached out claiming he wanted to 'rectify the situation.' I took off work, used my PTO, and drove across town with a severe migraine for an 11:45 appointment, only for him to waste my time a SECOND time. ​Instead of providing the service we discussed, he spent the time making excuses, pushing invasive veneers/orthodontics I've already declined, and talking about other patients. To make matters worse, he then had the audacity to ask me to remove my negative review while still refusing to perform the simple, no-prep dental bonding I requested. ​This office prioritizes upselling and 'reputation management' over actual patient care and medical boundaries. They made biased assumptions about my insurance from the start and followed it up with pure incompetence. I am NOT removing my review--people need to know how this office operates. Save your time and go somewhere that respects you.

They took photos of the work being done during the procedure and then Dr. Khoury showed me step by step the work that he had done. This is absolutely solid and an education in modern dentistry.

I called probably about 15 different dental offices and only two answered the phone. I'm so glad they answered the phone here because it was a very great experience. The receptionist that answered the phone was very kind and patient and just overall had a very sweet calm tone. Very pleasant to speak with someone that wasn't going to try and rush me off the phone. I was able to get in by the end of the week and I called on a Tuesday, I was in that Thursday afternoon. Angela was super sweet in trying to help me with the insurance stuff (I read my insurance stuff wrong and she wasn't mad at me lol) and she was very pleasant to work with. So I get there and the office is very clean and the staff is awesome, everyone is super cool and very kind. I tend to be a chatterbox if I'm comfortable somewhere so they chatted with me :) I was asked my preferred name which is great, cause I do not like my first name, I prefer my nickname better cause it's just easier for everyone all the way around :) X-rays were easy and the girl helping me (sorry I forgot your name!) was awesome, she was super mellow and just made the entire experience great :) the dentist is a very nice man and told me what I needed to work on and when to come back. No nonsense, I needed to work on X Y and Z, and then I had my teeth polished by another awesome staff member and I was finished. She was very mellow and chill too. Loved it! Really really happy I found this dentist office, with my insurance it's affordable to get everything done that I need to get done for my oral health and I'm actually excited about going back just because everyone is mellow and chill and easy to get along with and the dentist is super nice. I'm going to find out if they accept my fiancé's dental insurance so he can go here for his dental health. I highly recommend this dentist and his office. Very pleasant to work with and very clean, I will not be going anywhere else for my dental health. I'm going to try and refer everyone I can here :) There is an offer to get a Starbucks gift card, however my experience here WAS great and I feel anyone shopping for a new dentist should know about how great of an experience I had here.

I do not recommend Dr. Igor Babenkov or this dental office for Invisalign or orthodontic treatment…read more My treatment lasted over a year and a half, but my teeth were only molded once, many trays were lost, and my teeth are still crooked in the back of my front teeth. They may look straight from the front but the inner alignment is off because there wasn't enough room in my jaw. The treatment felt rushed and like shortcuts were taken, which caused my bite to be misaligned and led to TMJ issues. When I asked for corrections, they tried to charge me extra for procedures that should have been included in the treatment. Communication and billing were also problematic. Yelena at the front desk, who has worked there for many years, seems to manipulate paperwork or bills to charge patients who question treatment or express dissatisfaction. She works very closely with Dr. Babenkov, and if he shows even slight frustration, she will try to find a way to bill you. In their communications, they make sure to squeeze every penny, even if they initially offer you a "good deal" to lock you into Invisalign treatment. Don't fall for their manipulation it's grimy and scandalous. Dr. Babenkov often mentions his training in Germany and expertise, but the treatment felt rushed and careless, without proper planning. As a result, I now have TMJ related discomfort, a misaligned bite, and forehead wrinkles from jaw tension all caused by their poor treatment. Even three years after my treatment and wearing retainers I still experience jaw and forehead pain because of TMJ issues that weren't addressed properly. Honestly, to make up for this, they'd need to pay me a year's worth of Starbucks gift cards (an inside joke because the office used to give them to patients for reviews) and a years of Botox for the wrinkles caused by their treatment. Overall, I do not feel this office handles orthodontic care responsibly. My treatment caused lasting problems, discomfort, and unexpected costs. If you don't want permanent jaw pain, to have to see an oral surgeon like me, or TMJ issues, do not go here. I cannot recommend this office. I would never go back. *** When I asked the doctor to fix the crooked teeth, he moved my teeth without explaining the risks, precautions, or even asking for my consent. Afterwards, the office tried to charge me $78, claiming it was for a "filling," which clearly was not the case and Yelena proceeded to tell me "I received treatment after my Invisalign treatment timeline was over" LIKE WHAT the only reason I had that appointment was to tell the Dr. my teeth were still misaligned! The only reason I went to this office in the first place was because someone highly recommended it and made it sound better than it actually was. I honestly didn't even want to go here, and now I regret that decision.*** ALL I CAN SAY NOW IS DONT DO IT.

If I could give them zero stars I would…read more Backstory: This is my childhood dentist. I went to college to get my degree in accounting. I got my accounting degree and had a job with the state a few years later I quit my job to become an entrepreneur. With that being said, I recently signed up for Medicare. I was having a headaches, sore throat and toothache. My doctor suggested that I went to my dentist because it's been a while since I've been there. I get to McDowell's office and they instantly tell me they don't take Medicare but they will see what they can do. Optimistically I go to the back get my x-ray and Dr. McDowell explains that the doctor that I went to prior was not telling me the truth and that I just have two cavities. McDowell ensured me that my tooth with a hole in it (that hurt when air was placed in it) is not the cause of my pain. He told me to start brushing my teeth and flossing and I should be fine. We later begin to talk about getting a filling in my cavities. Dr. McDowell understanding my situation told me that although they do not take Medicare he would allow me to make payments and he would talk to the front desk to have it arranged for me. I go to the front desk and Pam automatically begins to talk about me needing to find a Medicare dentist. I told her Dr. McDowell said that we could set up making payments. Pam arrogantly begins to slightly roll her neck and says it would be best that I find a Medicare dentist. I told her that I refuse to go to a Medicare dentist because I'm not comfortable as I've been with Dr. McDowell my majority of my life. Pam begins to smirk and ask how I will go about funding. I told her I work just not as an accountant anymore. Pam continues to smirk after I repeated again saying I can make payments. Pam began to question me about my career, how I would go about making the money and who I worked for me that made me sure I'd be able to have this money for payments. Once I sternly told her I was self-employed and had my own establishment she then began to lighten up. Pam explained that she "would not want to go to a Medicare dentist as well". Feeling attacked yet optimistic I asked her for an invoice so I could be ready to make the payments. After rolling her neck, giving me a questionnaire and made it clear she felt like I couldn't afford this procedure She only wanted me to show up with $200 for my first payment which is not hard at all so I didn't understand her dramatics. I went to sleep for the next two nights with terrible headaches and pain. This morning my mother called another dental organization they took me in the same day did my x-rays realized I had tooth decay which hit a nerve and I needed a root canal immediately . I was able to pay the money out of pocket without any problems or belittling (paid it off at once even thought it was over $1000.) I realized that Dr.McDowell and is team was my childhood dental office, but it is in fact time for a change. Their miss information and failure to detail could have caused me a month worth of torture. I will happily be leaving this establishment and taking my family with me.

Bottom-line, it all starts with being under the care of a great dentist. And I found one with Dr. Elias C. Almaz, in Granite Bay. I have been going to have my teeth taken care of for the past 64 years since age 18, when I joined the USAF. Many of dentist have looked and worked in my mouth. But the best has been Dr. Almaz and his team at Boardwalk Dentistry. My recent single lower molar dental implant went so smoothly I had no idea it was ever installed. From the initial consultation with Dr. Almaz I knew exactly what to expect. He clearly explained the whole procedure. And when he installed the "implant post" it went so smoothly I did not even know when he was finished. Did not feel a thing. It has been a month now since I had the final crown installed and that process was outstanding. He made the new crown fit so perfectly I do not know it is even there in my mouth. Excellent bite. Here I am at 82 years old and able to now enjoy eating a steak and other meats. Should have had this done years ago. I am very fortunate to have found Dr. Almaz and his team.
