Fatehi Tom Farschid, DDS

Seriously best dentist I have ever had. Dr Fatehi and his staff manage the practice very well.

Liked him at first, but then he over charged us and his staff lied about our dental coverage and we were stuck with the bill. Then I missed an appointment because we had a broken pipe in the wall and had emergency water damage. So he charged me 200.00 for our missed appointment. My dad died two months ago so I have been overwhelmed and I explaind this to the Dr. and he said sorry but I have a stricked cancelation policy. He said I should consider changing dentists. So That is what I am doing.

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Fatehi for over 10 years since we moved to Ladera Ranch. With four kids, I have had my share of dentist visits and have seen the good, the bad and the ugly.
By far he is the best dentist we have ever visited. His staff is on top of everything, dedicated and professional. Our teeth cleanings are painless, and i always walk away with even more determination to keep my teeth in the best sparkly condition. The dental assistant is alway motivating and never a downer. When my son pretty much knocked out a tooth after hours (it was at a 90 degree angle), Dr. Fatehi turned around his car and came into the office to see if we could save it. I was so thankful not to have to straighten out by myself. Yikes.
My mom drives up all the way from Laguna Beach to see Dr. Fatethi, after switching from her dentist of the last 15 years. Dr. Fatehi was able to give her better treatment by far and she did not need all the extra treatments her old dentist recommended!
The office is super clean, parking is great, the staff is helpful and welcoming. 6 stars for me

The best word to describe Dr. Fatehi is «HONEST»!!!
Dr. Fatehi was the third dentist my daughter saw to figure out what she was going to due cosmetically with peg laterals after she got her braces off. The first 2 dentists wanted to charge $ 2,500 for cosmetic dental work that she would need to replace in 5 years due to her age and growth. Dr. Fatehi suggested we take a less expensive route (which the other 2 dentists never suggested as an option) that would still give my daughter a beautiful, dazzling, confident smile. Then we could revisit our next step once she reached her college years and was fully matured physically.
I brought our orthodontist all the suggestions each dentist recommended. Our Ortho said hands down that Dr. Fatehi’s suggestion was the way to go!
I feel confident in recommending Dr. Fatehi!

We were referred to Dr. Fatehi by a family member, as we were looking for a good dentist for our small children. Our son was seen back in February and was given a clean bill of oral health, Fast forward to last week. My son, who rarely eats sweets, started complaining of tooth pain. We took him back to Dr. Fatehi a few days ago and were told that his practice cannot perform x-​rays on small children! We were flabbergasted to say the least. Surely we should have been told that back in February.
We were referred by Dr. Fatehi to a pediatric dentist in the building next door. We ended up going there and were told that the cavities had been there for quite some time, like 6 months or so. So now my son has to have two mini root canals and 2 caps put on his teeth! He has 4 cavities!
While I think Dr. Fatehi and his staff are great, it is very disappointing that he allowed us to operate without the knowledge that he doesn’t provide x-​ray service, which is the sure fire way to detect cavities or tooth abnormalities. Therefore, they get 3 stars from me.
So beware if you have small children (5 & under) as Dr. Fatehi may not detect all issues due to the absence of taking x-​rays.
Other than that, they are great.

The fact my 5 year old let me know as we were leaving that he couldn’t wait to go back and that 6 months was wayyyyyy to long until his next check up, should let you know just how fantastic Dr. Fatehi and his team are. Nothing’s perfect but they get it pretty dang close. He has eliminated any anxiety there used to be about visiting the dentist.

I have been to a lot of dentists. Never finding a fit. Always something lacking. Dr. Fatehi has a professional staff!!! He is very confident in what he does. System of order is efficient. I have been apprehensive about my visits with my other four family members and he proves me wrong. He is excellent. May you know you are in hands that are gifted and he cares deeply about each patient.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Fatehi! He is kind, honest, funny and a great dentist! I hate going to the dentist, but his entire staff makes you feel at home. I have very sensitive teeth and they are so accommodating and caring! I used to dread going to the dentist, but Dr. Fatehi and his staff are awesome!

Best dentist ever! My husband and I went to him after going to another dentist that told us we both needed over $ 5,000 worth of work done??? We went to Tom for a second opinion and walked out with one cavity and a teeth cleaning! Honest and nice!!!

My husband & I have been going to Dr. Fatehi since we’ve moved to the area over 13 years now. Got to admit, we were both «scaredy cats» when it came to going to the dentist from years of bad experiences. However, with Dr. F, It’s always a non-​painful experience, and he makes certain of that… no matter what procedure you’re having done. He’s not only great at his skill, but he’s super funny, friendly & upbeat. His staff is amazing as well. He was referred to us by a dear friend & now we recommend him to everyone. He is by far the absolute BEST dentist we have ever gone to!

I visited this dentist today for the first time and my experience was wonderful! The dental hygienist who did the cleaning was thorough, quick and very friendly. At the end of my cleaning, Dr Fatehi came in for the final check up and he too was awesome! He was super friendly and very upbeat. This office must be a great place to work because all of the employees definitely showed what a great time they had.
Two big thumbs up for Dr Fatehi’s office! :)

Tom Fatehi is a Rock Star, His bedside manner is second to none, and his network of dental professionals is AWESOME. I can’t imagine not having him as my Dentist

I have lived in 5 states and been to. Dozen dentists and he is the best of the best.

We are VERY happy with Dr. Fatehi and his staff! They are great! We have had so many bad experiences with dentists over the years, we stopped going regularly up until we met Dr. Fatehi and his staff less than two years ago. They are professional, honest, caring, gentle, experienced, friendly… the list goes on! I was so desperate to find a good and honest dentist that I asked my daughter’s orthodontist for a referral and he told me that he really was impressed with the work of a dentist called Dr. Tom Fatehi. He said that he once couldn’t tell which tooth Dr. Fatehi fixed for one of his patients, it looked so natural! I found that out first hand when Dr. Fatehi had to buildup my 10 yr olds front tooth to match the size of the one next to it. The tooth he built up is perfect! It’s nicer than the natural one next to it! Lol! He was very honest with me and told me that since my daughter was so young, a veneer was not a good option for her, so he recommended building around her existing tooth now and getting her a veneer when she was in or out of high school. He also has this «wait and see» attitude about doing dental work. He is not out to just make money and come up with things that must be fixed now. Unless you’re in pain or there are serious problems with a tooth, he doesn’t scare you into getting unnecessary work done. I just love that! I was so used to dentists trying to get more money out of me at every visit and telling us things were worse than they were. One dentist actually told me I needed braces and I have perfectly straight teeth!!!
Anyway, we really like «Dr. Tom» and his staff, especially his awesome hygienist Beth, and recommend him for your entire family. Even my 10 and 4 yr old kids like him and his staff.
This is a real review. I do not work for Dr. Tom nor have I ever. I am not a friend nor a family member, just a very happy patient!

I’ve since left the west coast and been to four other dentists in search of someone as great as Dr. Fatehi. No one compares. At least two other dentists I’ve been to have complimented the two veneers Dr F made for me as nice work– dentist to dentist. It’s been over 4 years and they still look perfect.

Great dentist. No need to say more.

Haven’t been to the dentist in a few years. It seems as though every time I would go to my old dentist I’d have to make another appointment to «fix» something.
Dr. Fatehi’s was great. Very conservative. Wasn’t trying to milk my insurance which I find to be rare these days. The hygenist was so sweet as was the rest of his staff.
Highly recommend Dr. Fatehi.
Clean office
No extra waiting
Friendly Staff
Didn’t try to «over diagnose» me

Dr. Fatehi is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. I have two children and they feel extremely comfortable with Dr. Fatehi and trust him 100%. As a parent, I want nothing but the best for my kids. He is so good with them that their brushing habits changed for the better and they have no fear whatsoever. He makes you feel safe, secure, relaxed, and comfortable. If you hate dentist and are afraid, try Dr. Fatehi. If you want great work done by a dentist that was trained on the latest equipment and with the best technology, see Dr. Fatehi.
This is my opinion. When it comes to Doctors and Dentist, I will except NOTHING BUT THE BEST for my children. If you need a doctor, ask the emergency room nursing staff for a recommendation, they know the best. Example: My friends daughter was cut on the face, we made sure the BEST plastic surgeon was available or on call. When we learned they were not, they called him in. One year later, NO SCARS. Do your homework, your life is worth the best in care.

Hands down, best Dentist with the best «seat”-side manner! So polite, funny, and is just a great Dentist.
No looking for problems and trying to milk your insurance, as do some Dentists I’ve been to… just a great guy with friendly, attentive staff members. Any questions, he’ll call you back personally.
I live 30 miles away and still take the trip to his office twice a year — and that says something with gas prices they way they are… Ha!

Absolutely positively the BEST dentist I have ever gone to! He was recommended by a friend and now I recommend him to everyone I know. It’s a non-​painful experience, physically and financially and his staff is friendly and professional. Two thumbs up!
