The care is great by the dental assistants and dentists. We have been going to the Alameda and Oakland offices for 12 years. The lower stars are regarding the new AI attendant who answers their phones. It is near impossible to reach a live person when you call the office. I spent an unfortunate amount of time just to reschedule an appointment that left me frustrated. The AI attendant could not understand the date of birth or locate the patient and it resulted in more confusion and prolonged a normally very simple and straightforward process.
Dr. Mobasher is fantastic! When we had concerns about a possible problem, she got us in right away. She took the time to thoroughly evaluate my daughter and developed a comprehensive treatment plan involving orthodontics and surgery. What truly sets Dr. Mobasher apart is how she connects with her patients. She’s wonderful with apprehensive kids, always present and attentive during appointments, and explains everything clearly to both parent and child. She even remembers us from visit to visit, which means so much. I highly recommend her practice!
I’ve been taking my daughter here for years now and we love this office. Luciana was beyond helpful at navigating claims with my daughter’s insurance and took time to explain my options.
So professional and patient and tolerant. My daughter has great results here. They never prescribe treatment that is not needed. When Lena does need treatment they have the hospital privileges necessary to give her the general anesthetic to work on her teeth. The library of DVDs 📀 helps too🌞
Great pediatric dentist. Wait time is very short, fun waiting room with toys for kiddos to play with, and most importantly, great staff. The dental assistants and our son’s dentist Dr Mobasher are all so great with kids.
