Farida Alavi, DDS

She’s absolutely amazing! She takes amazing care of you and all the treatment is extremely pain free. I’m extremely pleased with her and I’ll always go to her for all my dental treatments. She’s professional and caring. Just close your eyes and go to her — you won’t have to worry about anything.

Dr. Alavi is the best dentist. I have been her patient for over 17 years. My husband sees her and my sister and brother in law. She is so kind, friendly, and professional. Her staff is always so accomodating and I always look forward to seeing her every six months. Also, if there is anything bothering me Dr. Alavi is very thorough and is wonderful about referring you out if she thinks it is necessary or needs a second opinion.

Dr. Alavi and her staff are amazing! professional, kind and fun group of people. She is detailed and takes her time to make sure her patients get the highest quality of work. I highly recommend her to everyone.

Dr. Alavi is the best one around :) She is caring, respectful, and timely when it comes to your dental needs. The office staff are all amazing people with smiles on their face all the time, its a small clinic so you get personalized attention :) which is a bonus, considering how good this doctor is.
Thanks,
Aneel

Every time I enter this office, I get the same treatment as the previous time. First of all, the staff are so friendly. They make you so comfortable like being at home. Secondly, the dental treatments I get are the best and I know that I do not have to return for the same issue. Thirdly, Dr. Alavi is very caring and handles the dental work in a way that I feel so comfortable and relaxed. Her dental work is done in a professional manner. I have never gone back for a poor job, but to praise her and her staff for all the good work they have done.
I recommend her to everyone out there who are seeking a professional and caring dentist.

I love dr. Alavi, she is such a caring and a professional doctor. Sitting in her chair is as good as it can get when it comes to dentists: pain free treatment, extremely considerate of how you are doing and if you feel ANY discomfort. Her staff is also very attentive, efficient and caring. The whole atmosphere of Dr. Alavi’s office is relaxing and comforting, and the end results are fantastic, I couldn’t be more pleased with them!
The only reason I’m giving a 4 star review is that sometimes it’s hard to reach the office and make the appointment, since the doctor and her team work 4 days per week, exchanging Mondays or Fridays off. That can be sort of confusing and hard to keep track of, and I believe is worth mentioning here. Other than that, a truly positive overall experience!

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Alavi for many years and we think that she and her staff are great! She is extremely gentle and is very much a perfectionist when it comes to her work. Treatment plans are well thought out and keep what’s best for the patient as a priority. The office is always clean and relaxing. We highly recommend Dr. Alavi!

I and my husband had our treatment from Dr Alavi and from her office crew.
She did a great job at fixing problems at my upper jaw. She was so careful at every detail with my teeth.
She helped me gain my smile back.
Thank you so much.
I strongly recommend Dr Farida and her team to every one.
They are professionals and enjoying what they are doing.

Dr Alavi has a big time attitude once you start expressing opinions on your own dental care. She will even politely ask you to get out and go elsewhere if you don’t completely concede to her whims on what all procedures to do on your teeth. She gives you the vibe that she owns your teeth and not you. I suspect she wants to up-​sell you on non-​existent cavity fillings and unneeded root canals etc. I would never go back.

She knows what she is doing and she is so good at it. I wish there was more than five stars.
She is so patient and If you ask her a question she will reply with a smile on her face.

Dr Alavi is the best dentist I have ever encountered.
She has a wonderful bed side manner; kind, caring, always asking if I am OK?
She is brilliant, superbly skilled in her craft, and gives the best painfree shots ever!
She keeps me informed and educated about her procedures while working on me.
I have walked away from her office, after much teeth work, and still when the numbing agent wears off I have yet to experience any post operative pain.
Clearly this is due to her caring, gentle ways, and her exceptional skills at getting the job done beautifully
Dr Alavi and her staff have transformed the way I hold dentistry. Where once it was the place I would LEAST like to be, today I find myself looking forward to my next appointment.
I feel so cared for with Dr Alavi!

My first dentist as a child was a sadist and a fraud. He would withhold the Novocaine and still charge for it. My second dentist was ok, but he retired in a manner that was dishonest to maximize his gain. My opinion of dentists was very low. I was lucky to find Dr. Alavi, I’ve been going to her for all my dental needs for over ten years. She was trained at UCB (if I recall correctly) and very competent in her work. She has a well trained staff and the office is efficient — never had any long waits.

Absolutely great.
I hate dental work but I enjoy coming here all the time.
Music selection is a nice touch.
Dr. Alavi and all her staff are professional, personable, and courteous.
They helped me to brush and floss properly and in 6 months (and 3 visits) I went from borderline gingivitis to near-​perfect gums.
First dental office that made me feel good about myself and my oral hygiene habits (which are improving).

Dr Alavi & her Staff are AWESOME.
I’m a left brained silicon valley type… and I notice the little details every time I go to a doctor or dentist. I gotta say. Dr Alavi & her Team deserve an applause.
Why do they rock?
Well, for one I just had a change of insurance and wasn’t sure whether my plan was an HMO or PPO. I called her office and Dr Alavi’s Staff got my info. and handled everything else.
Next, I go in for my filling (running a few minutes late).I’m greeted with a smile… taken to the dentists’ chair and the Staff applied a light ointment to my gum where they were going to give me the anesthetic in a few minutes. It tasted like Pina Colada… and guess what… it made all the difference. No pain at all. Thats brilliant!
And of course for the coupe de grace Dr Alavi again wowed me with her wonderful service. The devil is always in the details… did the dentist communicate each step of the way? Was she gentle, yet on point with each stroke of the drilling machine? Was she detail oriented? Did she get my bite down perfect? Did she make sure the whole procedure felt right every step of the way? YES. she DID!
Hence Dr Alavi & her Staff deserve 5 Stars. They stand out for honest caring & excellent service. And they’re a fun bunch.
If you’re looking to find your dentist… look no further. Give her a try. And later… come back and thank me (just kidding… you don’t need to).

She’s great and so is her staff! I walk in fall asleep (due to the chill music, not any gas) and wake up with a postcard for my next appointment.
Once I went in to another place for a cleaning, and the girl that was doing it mentioned that my fillings looked spectacular! Not so much a compliment to me but a testament to Dr. Alavi’s skill.

I truly hate going to the dentist. I was referred to Dr. Alavi by a coworker. She is very close to my office and decided to go see her. She is very gently and her staff is very nice and helpful. My husband who hates going to the dentist now goes regularly and loves her and her entire staff. She is gentle, knowledgeable and answers all of my questions. If you are looking for a dentist that is super nice and gentle, this is the dentist for you.
