I am glad I found Dr. Ghaoui here on Yelp. Though she didn't have good news for me about my crowns, she was kind and obviously cares about her patients' dental care. The front office people are helpful and responsive. The hygienist is careful and competent. Thank you, Yelpers, for the reviews that steered me to Dr. Ghaoui. read more

The entire staff is so pleasant and professional. Always greeted with smiles and by my name. Quality of care is stupendous. I've been coming to this dental office for years and years and have never had an unpleasant encounter. They are a 15 out of 10. read more

This staff is like family. I've been a patient here for years. Dr. Bowman is wonderful who checked my teeth thoroughly and Samuel the hygienist cleaned my teeth with such caution and gentleness. He made sure I was comfortable and informed me of different instruments he used. Wasn't many. They now have a new cleaning machine that also cleans your teeth. This office stays ahead and up to date with the future of medicine and medical supplies. My cleaning was A+ Ky B read more

We have been coming here for about 25 years. The staff are great and can always accommodate our need for appointments. We moved away 12 years ago but still come here because of the quality service we receive here. read more

My first experience here was great. Now trying to follow up and get a second appointment has been such a pain. Not only are they closed on fridays but apparently on mondays too. If the office is closed why are we still answering calls? Time to switch dentists! read more

I have always received excellent care! I am always anxious each visit but the staff always shows me they have my best interest in mind. Recently had a tooth extracted and yesterday prep for an implant. Today with no pain, minimal swelling all praises to Dr Brody and her hygienist!!! And Valerie that always puts a smile on my face and understands my fears! I highly recommend. read more

The reason I trust this dentist is a long story going to the dentist and bad experiences 2006, I had a compression fracture in my back and scoliosis so I have a pediatric size titanium rod in my back it is 8 inches yet still it had be shaved down, I am smaller than pediatric for most medical devices, I had a traumatic brain injury and a critical reverse neck curve in 2012 My Dr. insisted I had to retire and go on disability so I couldn't go to the dentist because of severe chronic migraines that lasted until 2024, my critical reverse neck injury is still present so i neglected my teeth, I was told if I have another injury i could be paralyzed, I have had many Dr.s appointments and treatments for 14 years, all of my organs and blood test numbers are perfect, my heart is great my lungs are clear kidneys liver and all of my organs are functioning properly Colonoscopy was clear no issues, Mamo gram was clear, if not I would not even get my teeth worked on, I did go to the dentist a few times between then and now for fillings but that dentist retired 7 years ago, I'm still seeing my Dr. at Kaiser and physical therapy plus chiropractor I get blood test and physicals to make sure everything is okay ti see how I'm am progressing it's taking a long time because I had to take Aleve and Excedrin migraine pills for 12 years straight because my don't like prescription pain meds, my eyes are starting to go back to normal! I am thankful for finding Dr. EL Ghaoui and the endodontist she recommended me to Dr. Tran, I m blessed to find both of them because my teeth were really needing help and my teeth are small so it's a challenge for any Dentist to work on! Still have a long ways to go to get everything done that I need to get done! It is not easy for me to trust many professionals! If you have a fear of going to the Dentist like I did you should go see Dr. EL Ghaoui read more

Always a great experience at this office. They are like part of my family and treat my husband and I as such. The office is immaculate and I love their calming waiting area. read more

Great experience from start to finish starting at the front desk to everyone involved in the back! No hesitations to answer my questions. No problem with any of the procedures. Everything has gone smoothly and feels good. read more

Amazing doctor and wonderful staff. I am always impressed by Dr El Ghaoui who is a perfectionist.

Dr. El Ghaouli has a well rounded group of professionals work for her. They are always polite and cheerful, it's a joy going there even if you don't like going to the dentist. Need a dentist? Try this wonderful office! read more

As usual it was a great appointment and the whole staff is completely wonderful. I have never had a bad experience at this dental practice. They are always on time for appointed appointments. read more

First time here, front desk personnel is great. However, we waited way too long for teeth cleaning of my 13 yr old. She said they had her sit on the chair for about 40 mins before anyone began to clean her teeth. Her appointment was at 10 we didn't leave till 11:50. worse wait time ever. read more

Nothing. Flawless delivery of service and vrry compassionate environment. Very friendly

Always a pleasure when I go for my dental appointments. The staff is always so nice and assistants and Hygienists are as well.

Very competent office. Always get excellent care !! I have been coming to this office for years.

I switched to Tara Hills Dental and I am SO glad I did! Everyone is extremely kind, knowledgeable, and gentle. I just had my cleaning with the hygienist Daniela, and she was so thoughtful, kind, and non-judgmental. I have a chronic illness which makes my guns more prone to inflammation, and she was so understanding and helpful. I always feel most comfortable with Doctors that are women. Dr. Feriel El Ghaoui was no exception. I have been struggling with my teeth shifting and felt very anxious about what next steps might look like. I was overwhelmed with all the appointments and things I needed to do for my teeth. It was notable when she said, "let's take this one step at a time." I felt a lot of my anxiety disappear because that was exactly what I needed to hear. Doctors that treat you as human beings first, always deserve five stars to me! Not to mention, Tara Hills Dental is totally affordable. My last dentist quoted me over $500 for the same treatments I am receiving here at $130. (That is 3 fillings and a cleaning!!) with NO insurance change. If you're considering Tara Hills dental, I highly recommend. read more

Amazing Dr, staff and office. They make sure you are comfortable. Procedure went easy and smooth because I was in the right place. read more

My experience in Tara Hills Dental has always been a positive experience. I used to be afraid of dentists but the staff in Tara Hills Dental is so caring, patient and professional that never fail to do a great job during treatments and put me at ease right away. The additional bonus for me is that they are just in my neighborhood so I could not be happier and greatful to have access to excellent care for my teeth. read more

Very professional and friendly. Do great work. The staff is great and the Dr. Is very nice and caring. I have been a patient for 4 years and recommend this dentist to anyone who may need dental care. read more

I had a great experience at my first visit this week. Dr. El Ghaoui's team is very thorough, informative and helpful as a whole! From the start Valerie helped me out from my first phone call, she made sure to double check my insurance was accepted and even helped explain how my insurance works, as I find it can be a little confusing talking with insurances. I received a call to see if I was able to come in a little earlier for same day cleaning, as they were ahead of their schedule. I'm so glad I was given the opportunity and was able to make it work. Lena did my xrays and made me feel comfortable as we talked about my dental history and personal life as we got to know each other a little bit. The dental hygienist (I'm so sorry, I forgot her name) did a great job at scaling my teeth and making my mouth feel so clean again! She wasn't too rough and it wasn't too painful, considering it has been over a year since my last cleaning. Dr. El Ghaoui was welcoming and was aware of anything i brought up to Lena, as she had relayed all the information to the dentist. I had let Lena know that I have always been interested in invisalign and she did a consultation and scan for me which i greatly appreciated, that has never been done for me before. It gave me a clear idea on how it would work and what to expect. Between Lena, Valerie and Dr. El Ghaoui each gave me helpful information needed for the next steps if I would like to move forward with it. They were very kind and gave me no pressure at all. From what it seems, Dr. El Ghaoui is conservative in her dental practices, not a bad thing at all! My last dentist told me I had cavities on all my molars and I was pretty nervous as I have not had a cavity before in my whole life! Dr. El Ghaoui reassured me that I have no cavities and I have good strong teeth! Valerie helped break down the costs and payment plans for the invisalign. At the end of my appt., I was given a folder with my profile, pics that were taken of my mouth and more information on the invisalign. The office made me feel so comfortable and I was given many opportunites to ask any questions I had. This was the best experience I have ever had at any dental office. I can't wait for my next visit! read more

I am 64 yrs old. I've had my share of dentists appointments and the staff here was outstanding from the instant I stepped through the door.

Love Tara hills dental ... great work this will be for ever be my dentist ... Love the whole team great and prof and very nice

Llamé por una emergencia y me atendieron el mismo día, tengo ya varios años siendo paciente en este lugar y lo recomiendo 100%

My dental hygienist was so careful, professional and gentle I nearly fell asleep during a deep cleaning of my right quadrant

Very clean and professional establishment . The whole team is very nice and patient ALWAYS. I've been going for about 7 years now .

The hygienist is great! She takes time explaining what she is doing as she cleans your teeth.

Everyone was very kind and helpful. I wasn't pressured into any of the treatments that I needed, the Dr. explained everything in great detail and recommended what should be done first. I would highly recommend Tara Hills Dental read more

I was looking for a woman dentist to support a women-owned dental business, for a change. Tara Hills Dental checked that box and all the 5 reviews had me feel comfortable I'd be getting good dental treatment. Right away I noticed Dr. El Ghaoui is incredibly warm and welcoming as are her staff. Everyone is very courteous and professional with patients and with each other. It's a very pleasant environment to walk into. I had two broken fillings and I don't like Novocain. Dr. El Ghaoui was willing and very able to fill my two cavities without it, drilling carefully, accurately and gently. She's very skilled and detail oriented--what you want in a dentist. After Dr. El Ghaoui repaired my two fillings and made sure my bit was perfect, I went back a week later for a cleaning by Daniela. She spent an hour with me, discussed my gum health and looked at my mouth guard as well as did a fantastic job getting the tea stains off my teeth. I'm so grateful to have found Tara Hills Dental! read more

Worst dental experience in my lifetime. The staff was amazing, but the dentist herself is hyper focused on seeing how much money she can make off of you instead of listening to her patients and focusing on the immediate need of service. She aggressively suggested I get all my previous dental work redone before taking care of my immediate problem. She went so far as telling me that I needed braces and veneers before I could get a mouth guard...hmm! Just Wow! Needless to say, my problem went unresolved, and I am now in more pain because she aggressively forced the affected tooth to move to prove it was loose! It wasn't, she then started knocking on the tooth, and when I didn't feel pain, she reached in my mouth and started working the tooth back and forth aggressively to prove her point. I couldn't wait to get out of there. At one point she got very upset and said well how do you want me to help you! I clearly said to focus on the affected tooth and provide me with a mouth guard. She wasn't happy with my response. Steer clear of this dentist, she is more interested in maximizing your costs than helping you. Her sheer lack of compassion and professionalism was surreal! Update: A few days later the dentist responded, trying to justify her bad practices again. Seriously not sure how she has so many 5 stars, next to impossible. She must have staff, friends, and family members write her reviews! Beware! read more

Accidentally came to the wrong dentist (was suppose to go upstairs to a completely different dentist!) They were nice enough to see me anyway! Really appreciate their time and care! I would love to stay with them but unfortunately I found out my dental insurance will not cover much for them and will be way out of my price range! If it wasn't for my crappy insurance I would definitely become a long term patient! read more

Dr. El Ghaoui, Jazz, and the team at Tara Hills Dental were phenomenal. I wish I had found them years ago. I had a deep cleaning and a Zoom whitening done and they couldn't have been more gracious, more gentle, or more accommodating. Really great people that work here. And the rates are super affordable, too. Thank you so much! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Ghaoui for over 15 years. I have tried other dentists over the years because of logistics. However, I have never found an office nor other dentist that provides a quality of care and comfort that approaches this office. I travel over 2 hours to receive care from Dr. Ghaoui. read more

I feel comfortable that I am getting the best care possible and listen what my expectations are and are honest in giving me the right care. The receptionists are very helpful in explaining the charges and are very friendly every time I go there. I am very happy that I picked this office to go to. read more

I couldn't recommend Dr El Ghaoui and her whole staff more highly. I needed implants and new crowns. I am very scared of dentists and was very stressed. I had done the part 1 of the implant in Brazil and it was hard to find the matching part 2 in the US. Dr El Ghaoui went out of her way doing research to find the matching part, and the implants turned out beautiful, and so did my new crowns. She is extremely knowledgeable and kind and made me feel safe and calm during the whole ordeal. Her staff is very professional and the hygienist is a perfectionist just as Dr Ghaoui is. She also connected me with a great surgeon when I needed a root canal, and another one when I need to remove the healing cap to get the implant done. Just recently I got my front veneers done, they look stunning. If you want peace of mind and professionalism, here is where you should go. read more

Dr. El Ghaoui did a fantastic job! She took care of all my problems with precision, speed, and was extremely considerate of my well-being the entire time. She did a filling on one of my front teeth that is seamless and gorgeous! Thank you for making my smile pretty again Dr. El Ghaoui! I highly recommend this dental office. read more

Dr. Feriel El Ghaoui and her team are amazing. I have been a patient for many years of Dr. El Ghaoui, I even followed her from her other office in Oakland. She understands her patients needs. She is honest and compassion. She has always been very sensitive about my dental needs. Her team in the office are great and always makes you feel comfortable and welcome. I recommend her dental services to anyone looking for a great Dentist and great supporting team. read more

I can not say enough positive things about this place! I've been a patient since 2010 and I drive from Sacramento to come here. I love the front office staff and Dr. El Ghaoui is so pleasant. So is the only Dentist I trust because of her honesty and guaranteed work. I love knowing I can feel comfortable at the Dentist. I use to be terrified to go to the Dentist, but not here. I feel at home and comfortable here. It's totally worth the drive. Thank you so much Dr. El Ghaoui for making a trip to the Dentist a great experience. Update-I've recently decide to have a lot of additional dental work done and Dr. El Ghaoui and her staff have gone above and beyond to make the experience a pleasant one to say the least. I've had to have additional services added and without any hesitation they've made the process easy and helped me through stress free. Though I'm still not done I can rest assured that they will guide me and I trust everything that is recommended. Thank you again for making this an easy and pain free process. I can actually say it's worth the long drive read more

Simply, a perfect mise en scène for a dental visit and revisit! The entire staff-Dental Assistant, the Hygienist, the administrator and of course, Dr. El ghaoui-are highly skilled knowledgeable professionals/human. They listened, communicated, and problem solved my oral and financial needs. And the environment is well taken care of, welcoming, and inviting. Tara Hills Dental, is a place to listen to Jazz while you are actively being listened to, educated, and respected. I took a selfie right after my visit-I was smiling! It's no wonder that I am already looking forward to my next visits and revisits. George Charbak read more

Hospitable staff and the dentist. They were very patient with my situation and even gave me a last minute appointment for me as I had to do my fillings asap to get my braces done. Great first experience! read more
