I am beyond grateful for the care my daughter receives from Dr Nickravesh. She emulates care and concern for her patients and she goes the extra mile in making the patient (and their parents) feel safe and comfortable. Each staff member I have encountered has demonstrated that same compassion and empathy for their patients. Simply said...they are a wonderful professional team and I highly recommend them. read more

Dr. Nickravish is just the best! It is so wonderful to finally find a pediatric specialist in Redding that makes you feel like family! Kind, honest, patient and all around amazing! She also has the the best staff! I'm so happy to have found them! read more

Sheva Nickravesh DDS, PC - How cute is this!!! - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Redding, California

Watch out for double and over billing. Every visit I paid the copay from my insurance only to be billed for previous visits that insurance supposedly did not cover. Would pay in office and then be billed additionally after the fact. I sent check stubs to show and only then did they reason with me. I'm disappointed with this office. Additionally, the turn over in staff in that office over the past six years is high. If that is normal in the dental industry, disregard that last comment. Sheva, feel free to reach out, y'all have my phone number with you biller and front office. read more

Sheva and her staff are excellent. My youngest daughter has dentist anxiety and they worked through it and she came out very happy at the end. My other daughter had 5 cavities and Sheva and her staff stayed until 6:00 in the evening to finish all the work. The office as a whole is friendly and makes you feel very comfortable. All procedures and costs are presented up front. I cannot say enough about the excellent care my daughter's get here! Thanks to all at Sheva Nickravesh Dentistry read more

My 8 year old angel was referred here by the very respectful Dr. Parvin Carter. We came the first time and I felt defeated. Then I tried again and this time my special girl was a little older and definitely braver and boy did she blow my mind! You guys the staff at this dental office got my girl who was in pain and grumpy in the next day! She actually trusted them enough to let them touch her mouth which she has NEVER DONE! I walked out of there in complete AWE of our experience today! And my girl got to put her hand print on the wall. Today was such a special day for us! I highly recommend bringing your child to this dentist uf they are easy at the dentist or take some extra attention and care to get through the appointment this office is so well equipped and understanding I will be recommending this office for sure!

Sheva Nickravesh DDS, PC - Today was such a special day at Dr. Nickravesh Office for Faith! - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Redding, California

See all

I have been taking my children here for several years now. I have 7 yr old twins, a 4 yr old autistic child, and a 3 yr old boy. This office is phenomenal! The staff is top notch and professional. I am a dental hygienist so I tend to be picky about where I take my children for their dental care. Through the years I have come to know this office very well and so I am now taking the time to write a review. Dr Nickravesh does amazing work! She gets the job done without traumatizing the child. Trust me here Moms, just leave the room and let the expert staff do their job. I have seen Dr Nickravesh's work and it is a beautiful thing. . Her assistants are kind and my children are very comfortable coming to this office. They actually WANT to go to the dentist! Angela is a sweetheart, but they are all experienced and great with kids. This office has a wonderful reception area and each room has a tv on the ceiling that entertains your child during treatment. Genius! The front desk people are very friendly also, especially Nikki. She's my favorite. I hope this review is helpful! It is difficult to find a dentist you can trust with your children, believe me, I understand. Dr. Nickravesh is the best pediatric dentist in town. Jessee Baldwin, RDH #21346 read more

My child and family were traumatized at this office. It is understaffed, chaotic, and there were missed prescriptions, and in accurate diagnosis ending in medical trauma. I am still considering reporting to the Dental Board. I would recommend finding a more attentive and safe office. read more

You can't really gush enough about Dr. Nickravesh and her staff. She is kind, inclusive, and highly knowledgeable.

Hello! I am a single (co-parenting)mother of 3 boys living in SLO county and due to COVID-19 sent my youngest son up to Redding with my mother, precautionary to his asthma. My mother text me about my 7 year old son at 2pm stating he had an abcessed upper tooth. Painful and gums pretty puffy. Being almost 8 hours away the boys' dad and i immediately start calling dentists in Redding. Dr. Sheva Nickravesh was the first who popped up in the google search for me. I call and explain to the Dr what the situation was. She gives me a quote for the services as they do not accept my insurance. As a medical field worker my concern was the kind of exposure my son and mother would be getting if they went to the office. She assured me they only see 1 patient at a time and immediately disinfect everything after each patient leaves. I asked her if she knew of anyone who accepted my insurance. She did and gave me a name of another practice. However, my concern again was exposure and had to weigh out my options. She asked her assistant if she could stay a little later and offered me an appointment time of 350pm, same day. I tentatively told her yes and would call back to confirm. I needed the ok from my mother and his father. During a 3 way conference call we discussed our options and happily decided to move forward with the extraction. My son is pretty tolerant when it comes to the dentist. In fact, the tooth in question was filled about 5 months ago with no issue while administering the anesthetic. So in the discussion about anesthesia with Dr Nickravesh, she quoted me with Nitrous(gas) and with regular anesthesia via injection. She said she would feel it out to see if he was ok with Nitrous or not. Surprisingly, I was not as nervous as I expected during this situation. Was it because I knew he was ok with my mom? Or maybe because the Dr was so helpful and accommodating? Or both? Either way the Dr called after the procedure was complete. She gave me the run down of what was done, how he did and collected payment. I praised her and asked her to pass on our thanks to her assistant. Soon after we got an update from my mom who states, "Extracted a tooth that had a filling. Curious tooth is all I can say...Tooth is complete. Hard to see the black decay inside the tooth but it is visible. Almost seems like it was not cleaned out good enough prior to filling because filling is intact BUT what do I know?" Following up with what my mother said, i am in no way a dental professional. I was not happy with the level of care the in network dental provider in SLO County gave to my sons and this may just be the icing on the cake that makes us look for a different provider. In short, Dr Nickravesh's practice and Standard of Care has raised the bar for me when seeking dental care. The caring staff and information given eased my worries and has given me faith that we made the right choice in choosing Dr Nickravesh for dental work. Bravo to you and your Staff read more

Dr Sheva Nickravesh is wonderful. I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old. We have been going to her for 4 years. She has a laser that she has used on both my children. My youngest child had a top and bottom tongue tie. She was not latching correctly and was having trouble gaining weight. Dr Nickravesh used the laser to fix the tongue tie and it made a huge differences. Her staff always calls to check in on my children after any procedures. My youngest had an accident and knocked out her tooth in a slide at 6:30pm on a Thursday night. We called Dr Nickravesh after hours line and we got her VM. she called us back while we were on the way to the hospital. She let me know she was out of town but to keep her updated on the ER visit. Mercy Medical center did absolutely nothing for my daughter. I texted Dr Nickravesh at about 9:30pm and let her know what happed, she responded and had me take a photo and send it to her. She told me to bring my daughter in the next morning to her office and her staff would take an X-Ray and photo. She texted me at 2AM while she was out of town to see how my daughter and I were doing. Dr Nickravesh showed my family and I so much kindness and went way beyond my expectations during the accident. My eldest dose not like the sounds of the equipment and tends to move around a lot. She allowed me to sit back with my daughter and hold her hands while she worked on tooth. She was so kind to both of us. She is really amazing with kids. Her exams rooms all have TV in each room for the kids. The lobby is cute it has a train set, toys and coloring books. We enjoy Dr Nickravesh and her Staff. read more

Please do not take your kids to Dr. Sheva Nickravesh! At first I thought Dr. Nickravesh was great, but this has been a total nightmare. Around October the doctor said my son needed some cavities filled and recommended he be put under general anesthesia. I had a horrible feeling about it and actually looked into some other dentists for another opinion. I was pretty torn because I didn't want to make it harder on my little guy by taking him to more dentists when he was already scared. So I agreed and made the appointment with Dr. Nickravesh. Before the appointment came up my son developed and abscess over a tooth she had previously worked on so I called the office and they perscribed him antibiotics and said they would take care of the infection while he was under anesthesia. After the appt I asked her what she did about the infection and she looked at me like I was crazy and took another look in his mouth and admitted that she didn't realize there was an abscess. When we got home he spiked a fever of 104 and had a low grade fever after that for about 6 days. I am not sure if that was related to the dental work or not. She tried to make it right and offered to fix the tooth so a couple weeks later we went back in and he had the tooth she thought was infected pulled. 12 days later he still has the abscess and so I take him in and she basically tells me that she pulled the wrong tooth!!! My heart is broken for my little guy that he has had to go through all of this. She has a lot of great reviews and is a nice person, but something is wrong here, it is not worth the risk! The biggest lesson I have learned is to listen to my Momma gut because I could have totally avoided this whole horrible situation. read more

Please be very careful. Apparently this office has had some bookkeeping software issues for several months. What they told me my insurance would cover was very misrepresented. For example they had me sign a statement that my insurance out of pocket would be $837. But after treatment I was out of pocket $1832. Very deceptive. I met with the Doctor and her bookkeeper and they admitted they had problems, then apologized and offered to buy me dinner as a compromise. I declined. read more

An amazing dentist and wonderful person! Dr. Sheva and staff are kind and beyond accommodating! They made my 7 year old son and self feel welcome, safe, and comfortable. They helped us figure out what we needed to do that was the best for our son and always make sure his teeth are taken care of. They always do what is in his best interest and try to hard to make any procedure comfortable and stress free! read more

We absolutely love this dentist. She's so kind, and sweet with the kids. The kids love the office and all the people working there. They are so helpful and caring toward our children. They got all 4 our our kids done at the same time and fast. read more

This is a great place to take your kids for their dental care. Everyone made my 4 year old super comfortable.

Really amazing experience all around. Staff is exceptional and Dr. Sheva Nickravesh is s wonderful. My daughter who has some anxiety when it comes to seeing the dentist does not when she comes here. Thank you! read more

My five-year-old is not pleased with the dentist office so I got referred here for treatment, I have to say I was blown away at how comfortable and friendly this place was..it's completely for children, my five-year-old was very comfortable and confident here, the doctor was very proper and polite and kind and friendly, I'd highly recommend this dentist office for your Littles!!! This will now be our new dentist read more

I literally just created a yelp account for the sole purpose of this complaint. Dr. Nickravesh and her staff are hypocrites trying to scam patients and their insurance out of as much money as possible. She over-prescribed care for my 5 year old. (she recommended nearly $8000 worth of care through surgery at Shasta Regional for an issue that was corrected with three 1-hour long office visits with Dr. Gus Petras). 4 months after I pre-paid for my consultation and x-rays I receive a bill saying that i'm 90 days past due on a balance of 90ish dollars. I call the office and ask them to explain. Long story short, even though they had my insurance information nearly a month before our appointment, they underestimated my insurance contribution and I was being billed for remaining balance on the x-rays. I was told that there was no rush for payment and that I could try to contact my insurance to see if they would cover the payment, that in their eyes it was my first opportunity to see the bill and that I wasn't pass due at all. Since then, I've heard nothing from the office, I haven't seen a second statement, I contacted my insurance and they assured me that the bill would be paid. I was on my insurance page just a few days ago to gather information for tax purposes and noticed that Dr. Nickravesh's office billed my insurance for all three procedures recommended and that my insurance company had, in fact, issued a payment after my request for the consultations and x-rays. Today, I received a collection notice from TAVCO credit services for a debt owed to Small Joyful Smiles, after being reassured that i would be given ample time to take care of it. Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, if this is the type of person you with to represent you, you will certainly meet your demise. Dr. Sheva Nickravesh and her office represent dishonesty, deception and cheating plain as day to me. They are nothing more than scam artists with degrees. Save yourself the time, money and sanity- go to Dr. Petras and Bjarnson. read more

So my son who is eight years old and has autism and a serious fear of the dentist, got through his first successful appointment today! I was in complete shock! Dr. Nickravesh told me that they pray over the office every morning before the kids come in. I am so grateful for this place!!! My four-year-old daughter keeps telling me she wants to go back and get her teeth cleaned again. read more

I was referred to Dr Sheva by a friend and I brought my 4 year old in for his regular check up and was very pleased with the whole experience. We showed up for his appointment a few minutes early and were almost immediately taken back to the exam room. Both the dental assistant and the Dr took time with my son and made sure we didn't have any further questions before the visit was over. I really got the impression that my son having a good experience was very important to them. The last dentist we took him to didn't spend even half the time Dr Sheva and her staff did with my son and I got the feeling that they were more interested in moving the kids through fast than actually taking care of them. I will defiantly be taking my son there from now on. read more

Staff is super nice and friendly. Glad to have found an office that really cares about you and your family.

She is an awful person to work for! She claims she has good offers when she hires you but does not keep her word. Pluse she don't even pay for holidays and she is gone all the time! Just know also if you make an appointment there, be sure they will call you to move the appointment. She don't care. She likes to dip her hands in every part of office and get easily upset at her stuff for everything. Make sure you cross your t's and Dot your I's. She don't like people talking gossip, but her and her office management Nikki talk about the staff badly all the time. She has a huge turn over in her office! New staff faces all the time. If you end up working for her, remember I told you so.... read more

I have been bringing my 3 sons to Dr. Nickravesh for the past 2 years. Her and her staff are always very friendly, welcoming and always competent. I have Metlife and for the most part, I always know what my cost will be when I make the appointment so it's almost never a surprise. They make notes of the children's behavior, their likes and dislikes so every appointment is catered to each child. For example, one of my children likes to be called by his nickname, and they use it when calling him back and talking to him, sometimes he's cold and asks for a blanket, they have one available, my youngest is not the happiest to be there, and they are prepared, they talk at his age level, they make sure that he is comfortable with what is going on before they do anything and if his not, they don't do it. Today he sat there in the chair for the first time, he got his teeth cleaned without fussing and took x-rays, I believe that this is because at his prior visits they have always been caring and always took notice about how he was feeling and never forced anything on him. My children have had cleanings, x-rays, cavities filled and one had a baby root canal. I have never walked out mad or unhappy. There were a few times that I had to wait for the Dentists, but if she needs to take extra time with a child I will wait because I know if it was my child I wouldn't want her to rush with my child just to keep on schedule. For the few and far between times that she was running late, they have always keep me in the loop so I wasn't just sitting there. I've been to different dentists because our family moved around a lot, due to being in the military, so we have experience with good and bad treatment, and Dr. Nickravesh and her staff are amazing at what they do, I would definitely recommend them! read more

I take all 5 of my kids (ages: 7, 5, 4, 2 & 2) into Dr. Nickravesh's office and they schedule us to where we not only have no wait time, but each kid gets a room & we are out of there in the same time it would take to do 1 appointment. Today, they even did crafts with the kiddos who were finished early. Seriously, the best pediatric dentist ever!! read more

This lady is a scam she will quote you a price and then send you a bill for triple the ammount she will say your insurance will cover this ammount and then up the price again dont go to her if you like to keep your hard earned money... read more

Love, love, LOVE this pediatric dentist! My kiddos are in such good hands with Dr. Nickravesh! The entire team is friendly, caring, and really tuned in to the needs of my kiddos. I love that my kids can watch a movie while they are receiving dental care; such a great distraction and treat for them! The healthcare professionals at this office value education and Dr. Nickravesh is such a driven professional. She greets parents with a hug, takes the time to discuss treatments plans/options, and reflects great care for her patients. We recently had a health insurance change and the dental plan for my children was extremely limited. We decided that we would rather pay out-of-pocket and be very happy with the dental care our children receive than allow insurance coverage to determine the care my children receive. Very happy with this dental office and would recommend it to anyone looking for a pediatric office; they are phenomenal! read more
