My first visit at Zak Dental was not the best… the ladies at the front desk were great and I ask if there was a different doctor I can see.
They recommended Dr. Peepers what a change from the other two Doctors that took care of me
Dr Peepers was very attentive, making sure that I was comfortable, she has great touch when she’s working. Found the right Dentist I recommend Dr Peepers 100%

"I had an excellent experience at Zak Dental! I came in to have a bridge re-cemented, and the dentist was fantastic—efficient, professional, and ensured the fit was perfect. I also saw Ben for a cleaning, and he was incredibly meticulous and thorough. It’s rare to find an office where both the restorative work and the preventative care are this high-quality. The staff is friendly, and the environment is top-notch. Highly recommend!"

I stress out days before any appointment and was pleasantly surprised as my stress was quickly alleviated. The Doctor was patient with me and in the end wondered why I stressed out so much. I still have my moments but confidently know it will be good.The staff, (his assistant, xray tech, etc) have helped me to navigate through it all! Thank you Dr. Toosi.

Checkup and cleaning appointments are always made separate, requiring 2 visits at a minimum. The dentist that reviews your check-up is remote, so you have to wait in some queue until they are available to talk to you over the internet or make a separate appointment, and they often try to upsell on their flouride treatment and other products which I did get for my kids, but required more visits to the dental office and didn't end up preventing cavities for them. Appointments often require 1-2 months of advanced planning, making any appointment changes is painful since an ortho appointment which should be every 6 weeks is now 3 months apart. What I do like is they are organized and have call center service promptly available and return calls quickly, and try to resolve any appointment or insurance issues immediately.
