5 /5 Seth: While reading this review keep in mind that I do not trust most dentists for a variety of reasons, and thus I was highly skeptical of the positive reviews. This was my first visit to this office. Any reference I make to other dental offices are not inclusive of the Dawod brand.
Over the past few decades, I have had some dental problems (broken teeth, misaligned teeth, and gum disease). Recently I have begun experiencing some discomfort with a molar and a wisdom tooth as well as an exacerbation of tinnitus, possibly stemming from the problematic teeth.
I opted for a full-mouth examination even though I do not have dental insurance. I received a quote for ~$240 to complete the entire exam. Due to the recent exorbitant rise in prices for just about anything, I was skeptical of the price, figuring that I would end up with a bill twice as much.
After registering for an appointment via the online portal, the office sent me an email containing instructions to prefill the required intake forms prior to my appointment. I have experienced this paperwork procedure from other offices, and then I show up and have to fill out even more paperwork while sitting in the waiting room. So, I completely expected that to apply to this visit. That was not the case. I was not asked to fill out a single form when I arrived. Call me impressed.
My wait time was approximately five minutes before I was summoned to the interior of the examination area. Again, Im impressed. My assigned dental assistant, Valerie, was jovial and professional. We chatted casually about the growth of the city and other leisurely topics. She made me feel comfortable which is a terrific change of pace compared to my other dental office encounters. We spoke of my reason for the appointment. Valerie actively listened to my concerns and offered her professional opinion to execute the best plan for treatment.
Wait, what? Someone who actually listens and actively engages with the client? This has never been my experience at any other dental office. Now Im feeling relaxed and excited to discuss this plan with her.
I wont go into major detail of the examination, but I will relay this: I have never been subjected to this level of comprehensive inspection EVER. Let me be crystal clear. If I should perish in a way that my remains could only be verified with dental records, I have full faith that there will be no hesitation by the M.E. in determining my identity.
I met with Dr. Dawod and he is charming, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. At this point, I am now getting nervous that something dreadful is about to happen because up to this point everything has vastly exceeded my expectations. The only part of this visit yet to be concluded is the review of the final bill. This is what I am expecting to be out of range of affordability due to the time and effort provided by the wonderful Valerie and Dr. Dawod.
Upon completion of my time with Valerie, I am escorted to the front desk to determine the final cost. The very pleasant staff member informed me that my bill would be the exact quoted price of ~$240 for services rendered. I happily paid the bill and exited the office.
Would I recommend this office? Yes, wholeheartedly and unequivocally yes! I now understand the perfect rating from (at the time of this review) 574 satisfied clients.
If youre looking for a trusted office to excel in treatment of your oral health, this is the place!
