What patients say about American Family Dental

American Family Dental sits at 4.6 stars on Google from 193 reviews, and recent comments explain a lot about where that number comes from. Read through the reviews and the same things surface: friendly staff, clear explanations, and in many of them a clean, modern office. Reviewers get specific about their treatment, writing about cleanings and deep cleanings, crowns and root canals rather than just the atmosphere.

Several people write that their injections and cleanings simply did not hurt. More than one reviewer got seen the same day when something urgent came up. Taken as a whole, these reviews read like a practice that has earned its rating the slow way.

Just had a visit at that place, everything from check in to the Dentist visit were top notch! Dr. Ramin Farzam was very attentive, pleasant and explained everything with details especially when I asked him questions. I need to have a deep cleaning done and have confidence it'll be done well. I will refer anyone that looks for a dentist, my husband first! Linda G.

I saw Dr. Farzam and he was very calm and helpful. Im usually scared of dentists because ive had bad experiences in the past, but I felt comfortable and there was no pain.
