Sam Gilani, DMD, MS

Dr. Sam Gilani is seriously the best surgeon I have ever been to! I had a great experience with his office. Their staff is very friendly and professional and they treat me like family! I highly recommend seeing this dentist!

This place is like my home, Dr. Gilani is my favorite. He takes his time and listen to your needs. He doesn’t rush on appointments. You also will enjoy his professional staff, Natalie is very helpful. I would give more star if I could.

I had the worst dental experience of my life at this office — both with dental work performed and the customer service at the office. Patient beware! I would definitely go elsewhere.

I don’t understand why my review is no longer visible. I am a real person and have really been a patient for over 7 years.
I am distressed to find that my review which I took quite some time to write has been found filtered and of questionable origin. I have read the review guidelines and follow them accordingly.
Please repost as I will reaffirm, Dr. Gilani and practice have been nothing but excellent in my experience.

Beware of This SCAMMER
On my initial visit I was quoted 4500 for the work that was to be performed. On a subsequent visit they indicated to me that the amount was incorrect and asked for an extra 1000. After hunting around the internet, I read reviews that said that he had done the same thing to other patients. Bait & switch.
I provided you with the additional Noble Biocare hardware that had been given to me for an exchange of whitening trays and whitening gel. The trays you made me are not even useable due to the fact that they frayed at the top and will not hold the gel properly. The assistant that made my trays indicated to me that after my crowns were installed that she would be glad to provide me with a set that would then fit. After you installed my crowns you asked me to pay an additional $ 350.00 for trays. WHAT A RIP OFF. I have friends that used to work at Discus Dental who told me to NEVER pay more than $ 150.00 for trays. The kit is very inexpensive. You seem to have a integrity problem in promising a lot initially and then going back on your word.

I had some of the worst teeth/​financial experiences of my life at this place. Firstly, during two procedures, which included a bone graft and gum lengthening (to prepare a molar for a crown — the tooth had cracked because it had an extra ridge — a genetic flaw), the doctor refused to believe that I could still feel the drill or whatever it was and did not give me any additional local anesthesia. Now, I have an extremely *high* pain threshold, but my regular dentist knew that he had to give me many shots in different places to numb me for the root canal. This doctor just told that it was «not possible» that I could still feel in that area. Imagine having someone graft bone to your jaw and being able to feel it, people.
However, this hellish experience was not over. On my way home, drooling from my numbed cheek and in agony, I received a phone call from the office saying that they made a mistake in giving me the papers that I had signed before the surgery, and my insurance did not cover one of the procedures (this was before I knew my rights regarding insurance and how it worked — the procedure was not elective and should have been covered). I asked how much it was, and was told «$ 900.» «Well, I don’t have $ 900,» I said groggily, barely able to speak. «Oh, well, you HAVE to pay it,» said the woman. She then offered to put me on a payment plan and I stupidly agreed.
Unbeknownst to me, this «payment plan» was a credit card with a 22.5% interest rate that they were apparently able to sign me up for since I’d given them my SS#. My insurance company told me they were never informed about the procedure and that I should contact the provider and let them know I should not have been billed; I never heard back from the Center after calling them about it multiple times, so I eventually just paid the damn bill with its hundreds of dollars in interest.
I now know this to be a classic ‘Bait-​and-​Switch” move and will file a complaint with the BBB.
Hopefully, they have changed procedures and the doctor is more cognizant that some people require more numbing than others.
