I never went to a dentist before, so I knew that my oral health was not only bad, I also knew that…read moreit was equally just as important for me to find a good and highly rated dental office that accepts my specific healthcare plan. I heard a lot of great things about this specific dental office, so I called them and asked if they accept my specific health insurance plan. It was important for me to pay as little as possible due to money currently being tight and limited, and the receptionist who I spoke to communicated very clearly. I often got text messages informing me of my appointment status, which included any important updates, so communication is very efficient in this office. The day of my appointment, I rang a doorbell for the door to unlock and then I went in. The lady at the front was very friendly and approachable. I did not have to wait long for my appointment, and the waiting room was very neat and well organized. The dentist that I had, Doctor NG, was very solid. I wouldn't describe him as a dentist with all too much personality or energy, but he was very thorough and skilled when taking care of my teeth, which included an examination of my x-rays, as well as cleaning and polishing my teeth. He even referred me to a list of periodontists because of how bad my gums were, which isn't surprising considering that this was my first time ever stepping foot at a dental office. When I was finished with my first initial appointment, I asked about cost, and the same lady clearly informed me about how much of my appointment my specific insurance plan covers, and that they would notify me ahead of time if I had to pay out of pocket. This once again shows her strength of communication and friendly customer service. I didn't get the chance to meet most of the other doctors that so many people speak highly about, but this was a very decent first visit, with communication and clarity being some particularly great parts about my appointment.

She is refusing to reimburse my copay of $1,957 for a bridge work I will not get with her due the after effects from my fist visit with her. BE VERY CAREFUL AND STAY AWAY! I visited this this for the first time, asked alot of questions about the process and her experience given her young age and there were no reviews as she just started this practice in Oakland Gardens. She assured me she was qualified and even showed some resentment over all my questions. I needed a bridge and she assured me she had done this procedure many times. My first appointment for the bridge was on January 18. On this date, she worked on my teeth for 90minutes, said she cleaned and prepared the teeth for the bridge and put temporary crowns. On January 25th, I emailed her office asking if it was normal to have such pain, swollen left side of my face and inability to open my jaw. She replied I may need to see a root canal specialist. I called my old dentist and got a referral to the specialist. As I couldn't open my mouth there was nothing she could do except prescribe muscle relaxants. To date, I am in excruciating pain and still can't open my jaw wide and was told I have to see a TMJ specialist. Given this traumatic experience, I told Dr. Jagan I do not want to proceed with the bridge work with her as I never experienced an inability to open my jaw after a dental procedure with my old dentist. She is refusing to refund my copay of $1,957 and even cashed out my check on January 18. I will most like have to pay out of pocket to see a TMJ specialist for her negligence. Take my advice and stay away from this practice.

This is a person who should have his DDS title revoked and barred from practicing in the dental industry. DO NOT GIVE ANY WORK TO Dr. Naser Sharifi WITHOUT FIRST GETTING A SECOND OPINION FROM A PROFESSIONAL WHO IS ACTUALLY HONEST AND ETHICAL. So what happened you might be wondering? I had a cavity in my wisdom tooth which needed to be pulled. Very simple. Nominal fee. The lowlife of a supposed doctor states that he recommends I "save" the tooth by performing a root canal, for obviously 10 times the cost of having it pulled. I ultimately agreed because I thought he was someone with credibility and trustworthiness. However I was duped. I paid for the root canal thinking I am making a responsible decision. Upon the next time of going to my next dentist, he laughed and mocked the idea of a dentist performing on a wisdom tooth by doing a root canal. He then proceeded to pull all my wisdom teeth which were due for removal, including the one that dr. Sharifi had wasted my money performing the root canal on. Bottom line.. AVOID dr. NASER SHARIFI AND FIND AN HONEST DENTIST!

While watching an online video, the YouTuber mentioned the word "dentist." This instantly brought…read moreback amazing and heartfelt memories of my experiences with this amazing man. Although I haven't visited a dentist in years (don't judge me), my nostalgic feelings caused me to look him up so I can go pay him a friendly, non-professional visit as an adult (this isn't the first time I've randomly thought about how nurturing and attentive this man is, which speaks volumes). Now, I never leave reviews for ANY business (although my Yelp account is appropriately aged) but upon reviewing his Yelp profile, I noticed the completely undeserving negative review left by a disgruntled patient (or more likely, a competitor). I'm here to say that, although I was only a child while a regular at his practice, my parents certainly aren't people to put up with any disparaging service (they were regulars too, as he was our family dentist) and that lends to the additional fact that this is an amazing practice for children, as well as adults. His entire staff always helped us feel comfortable and welcomed, beyond the usual "I'm really good at being polite because we need you to want to return." No, my parents always made a point to expose those types of people in assertive ways, and their lack of discouragement with Dr. Naser Sharifi was always a true testament to the special and astonishing character of this man, traits that I already believed him to possess. Take your entire family there once, and your only regret will be that you hadn't visited him sooner.
