Never had a problem until today when I came to my appointment that was scheduled about 2 months ago only to be told that I was not on a schedule. The receptionist didn't even go and ask if I could be fitted in today because of scheduling mistake that was not even my fault. I drove half an hour one way to be told that I need to come in on a different day. Was very unpleasantly surprised by this service.

Dr Karbakhsch and her practice are fantastic! Dr. K is smart, wise, thorough, professional. gentle and kind. Her back office staff, especially Alexa have guided me to getting on track for healthy gums and teeth. My dental health has hugely improved and my teeth saved since becoming a patient of the excellent Dr. Karbakhsch!

I have been a patient of this practice for at least 4 years. Honest to goodness, I am continually impressed with the level of customer service. The front end staff is welcoming beyond compare.Particularly Sophia. Also, At least two others with outrageous customer service. I call it Directors of First Impressions. It is comforting to me in this era of on-line trade where I feel like this level of service is a forgotten art. I can not think of a comparison of any other business where you feel so cared for. Dr. Karbakhsh and staff think of every comforting thing A warm blanket, continued moisturizer to lips, soothing voice, and most importantly confident advice that ensures you have the latest state of the art science and methodology.

I cannot say enough positive things about this office. The front desk ladies are always very welcoming and professional and the hygienists and other staff know what they're doing. Doctor MK always makes me smile and puts me at ease the moment she walks in the room. I have never had such a positive experience having work done on my teeth!!
