    compare the back 3 on the left to the back 3 on the right
    Roderick N.

    Nicest people to talk to, the office (inside) is very fancy, it will make sense when you get your bill, the parking lot needs some help. The support staff is nice and seem to care. I had crowns done on the left side of my mouth (back 3 teeth) they took impressions and put them in my mouth without issue. The problem is that Dr. Fakhimi then removed all the anatomy from the newly delivered teeth leaving me with flat, horizontal pegs for teeth. Perhaps it's my fault for telling him my bite felt off, I don't know. It took forever to chew anything and I couldn't figure out why, I then noticed my teeth were flat. I called the office to see if they could use the impression to redo the teeth but they get rid of impressions once the teeth are delivered. I asked if they could use the teeth on the other side as a guide to give anatomy to the other side but apparently that is not a thing. In summary I paid about $5000 (thats with insurance coverage) to Dr. Fakhimi who permanently disfigured my teeth and bite. He does have a soft touch the anesthesia was painless, and grinding my teeth down didn't hurt. If you go to him just don't say your bite feels off because there is no way to fix teeth with no anatomy. Compare the back 3 teeth on the left to the ones on the right. It may not look like a big difference but it will determine if you eat steak again or not.

    $3995 price, plus if you book today, plus get a $2000 credit. This to me means $2k Invisalign.

    Very nice facility and nice staff at first. Went there because they promoted a special for 4k invisiline. Plus, if I booked in the first week, then they would credit 2k. See picture attached. When all said and done, they show me the bill for 6k, then they mark down 2k. So the balance is 4k. I tell them that not what their ad says. They should have said something like 6k current costs and 2k off equals 4k total. I told them this is false advertising and it should not be allowed. Then the lady comes back and says we will honor the price shown in the ad, but I'm like it's the same thing. If you're honoring the price then it should be 4k total price minus 2k credit so the balance is 2k remaining. Ooooo we can't do that! But that what you are promoting online. I sent a follow up email and I got a call today with a lady who claims not to know who I am. Did I inquire about invisiline, like if it was my first time calling. Listen, I don't like ruining people's business because it's about making money and living in a good life. But when you are online promoting falsely and wasting peoples time, that is when I will take the time to write a negative review about your business and warn others that your predatory practices should be highlighted amongst the community. If any attorney see this and would like to pick up the case, please let me know.

    The cut I received during my appointment.

    It took 4 hours to get a root canal and temporary crown because the dentist was also helping at least four other patients at the same time. Then they accidentally cut my lip which left me with a bruised bleeding lip for hours. My lip is still swollen hours later.

    I have been going through my Invisalign treatment with Dr. Fakhimi throughout this year and I am so happy with my results so far! I had traditional braces when I was younger but never kept up with my retainer. I started my Invisalign treatment while pregnant and it has been such a smooth experience. All of the staff that works at Soft Touch Dental is amazing from the office manager/coordinators to the dental hygienists/assistants. As soon as you step foot into the office, you are greeted with kindness and can tell that everyone is truly happy to be a part of Dr. Fakhimi's team. The office feels luxurious and spotless. I highly encourage you to book your dental work with them because you will be well taken care of and leave with your teeth feeling amazing.

    I was referred here by some amazing friends that have been going here for over 10 years. I was having some pain in my mouth and they were able to accommodate me with an appointment. They do have text reminders for appointments which is great, especially if you work in a phone environment like I do. There are parking spaces out front so that you don't have to park on the street. As you can tell by the pictures, the office is top notch. It is immaculately clean and decorated well. They even have a high tech bidet in the bathroom. So expect to be impressed! The two professionals that work the front, Sheryl and Hali, greeted me with warm smiles. I have since been back twice and I always feel so welcome when I walk in. You can tell that their patients aren't just a number, and I appreciate that so much. My dental hygienist, Danna, was amazing! I had a periodontal cleaning and before the procedure, I told her that I get motion sickness and sometimes the vibrations from the tools can cause me to become nauseas. She reassured me that she would take great care of me, that I wouldn't become nauseas. Danna was friendly, and I highly respected that she was transparent about the condition of my teeth. She told me about to take better care of them, and I even purchased a tooth brush from the dentist office. A month later, I returned and my teeth are doing much better. Danna encouraged me to keep up the good work. The employees and my friends spoke highly Dr. Ali Fakhiki. He was very polite and walked me through the condition of my teeth and what I can do to improve their health. He made things clear and understandable; I never felt like I was needing to ask questions. He was very knowledgeable and you could tell he has been running a wonderful business for a long time. One of the most important factors to me that everyone helped me out with was the financial breakdown of everything. I never felt like there was any miscommunication. They were able to provide me a quote for an implant replacement and veneers. I don't have a lot of money, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to get this done. However, I'm confident that Soft Touch Dental would be the best place for this. I am excited to be a returning patient.

    Before..missing teeth in the back and yellowish on the front, crooked bottom. Yikes!

I simply asked the billing clerk if she could follow up with my insurance company to see when my second payment would be mailed. She immediately told me that San Diego Invisalign doesn't work with insurance companies and that she wasn't going to do that for me. That made absolutely no sense because when I first started treatment, their office was the one that contacted my insurance, verified my benefits, arranged for the first insurance payment to be mailed directly to them, and had me authorize them to cash the check. They had been working with my insurance the entire time, so asking them to follow up on the remaining payment was completely reasonable. Instead of receiving help, I was met with attitude and inaccurate information. The second issue was scheduling. I have a demanding career with meetings throughout the day, so taking time off for appointments isn't easy. My last five appointments were all rescheduled or significantly changed for one reason or another. On one occasion, I arrived expecting to have planned treatment completed, only to learn that the doctor had an emergency and the appointment had been reduced to a quick 10-minute check. While I completely understand that emergencies happen, no one contacted me beforehand to let me know my treatment plan for that visit had changed. Had I known, I could have rescheduled instead of taking valuable time away from work. What made the experience even more frustrating was that when I questioned why the planned treatment wasn't happening, I initially felt like staff were trying to convince me that nothing had changed before eventually acknowledging that it had. The biggest disappointment, however, is the actual outcome of my Invisalign treatment. I was originally told treatment would run from February through August, but it kept getting extended until June of the following year. Throughout treatment, I followed every instruction exactly as directed. I wore my aligners as instructed and did everything I was supposed to do. At one point, my aligners even became warped and stopped fitting correctly, requiring replacement trays. When it came time to remove my attachments, I repeatedly told the doctor that I wasn't happy with how my teeth looked. His recommendation was to go home, whiten my teeth, and see how I felt once the attachments were off because he thought the appearance might improve. He also told me that if I still wasn't happy, I could come back and they would continue treatment. I followed his advice, whitened my teeth, and unfortunately my opinion didn't change. My teeth are only slightly better than they were before treatment, and they are still not straight. My lateral incisors are still sitting behind my front teeth, which was one of the issues I wanted corrected in the first place. When I returned and explained that I was still unhappy, the doctor agreed that they could bring me back in and try to move those teeth further forward. I thought they were going to stand behind their work and finish my treatment. Instead, after scheduling the appointment, I was told I would need to pay an additional $500. After spending thousands of dollars, extending treatment for many additional months, following every instruction exactly as directed, and still not achieving straight teeth, I was shocked to be asked for even more money to correct a result that should have been achieved the first time. Overall, I left feeling frustrated, unheard, and extremely disappointed. Between the poor customer service from billing, constant scheduling issues, lack of communication, treatment delays, and a final result that didn't meet reasonable expectations, I cannot recommend this office based on my experience.

Additionally when getting my cavities filled the dentist was late every time and the dental assistant would be assisting multiple clients.

It was highly likely related to the abscess that they discovered last week because of the specialized equipment and overall focus they have on addressing issues from many angles. My body was crying out for help 3 yrs ago after God knows how many years of that infection being there and no one could explain except for this practice. I want to cry.

Being honest with your patients is everything and the way of communicating everything made me feel very comfortable ! Thank you so much ! I'll see you very soon .
