Sepideh Pejham, DDS

I have been coming here for 10 years now. Dr. Sepi does a great job. She’s super professional and I’m able to relax knowing that she won’t make me feel uncomfortable. My only complaint is that she often tries to give you things that you might not need. It’s frustrating because it’s sometimes hard to tell what is to benefit your health and what is strictly for cosmetic purposes. Definitely don’t mind cosmetic dentistry, but I’d prefer it if it wasn’t pushed onto me.
All that being said, it’s difficult to find a good dentist that I’m not afraid of, so I’ll keep going here.

I really hate to write this review. My family has been seeing her for about ten years. But I am moved to warn others of her office practices. First of all Dr Pejham is an extremely skillful dentist. Her work is outstanding. She’s very attentive to your needs, and responsive.
This review is about her office and billing practices. We are have Anthem DHMO, so your experience might be different if you have PPO insurance. At the end of every session, a «treatment plan» is added to end of your bill, which you must sign for some reason. My family never reads this part, and always agrees. Many many times, she has recommended treatments, such as laser gum treatments ($ 600), antibiotic washes ($ 75), antibiotic gum treatments ($ 500), laser detox, tooth brighteners ($ 600). None of these are covered services.
In some cases, the treatments aren’t even approved by the ADA. Many for these non covered treatments were ineffectual.
Our DHMO promises 2 free cleanings per year. I never received any free cleanings. Nor did my family members.
Unfortunately, her office massively up sells at every opportunity. If you read dental Unilocal reviews, you will see this a persistent problem with dentists in Silicon Valley.
If you have a lot of money, or a PPO, then Dr. Pejham would be a very good choice. But watch your bill and treatment plan for massive up selling and hidden and deceptive charges for each of your family members. Also be aware of her cancellation policy. You cannot cancel by voice mail. Say what?
We all finally had enough when my wife came home with a $ 1200 treatment plan for treatments she had before and didn’t work. We just switched after 10 years with her.
EDIT: +1 Star. Sephi is a really good dentist.

I got a Groupon for this place back in Jan. They said they had no appointments available until March 2. Now they call me and can’t see me for 20 more days! I am looking for a new dentist and I may have stayed with them, but this is not the way I should be treated.

Been going there for 6yrs, she’s great!

I have been going to this office for a number of years and am extremely happy with the service. Dr. Sepi does an amazing job while being entertaining and putting me at ease every time I go there. If you are looking for a caring and professional dentist in the Saratoga area, I would highly recommend her. I haven’t been able to find a good dentist since I moved to Dublin. So I still go to her. She is worth the trip.

I had the worst dental experience ever, and I’ve had a new dentist every time I moved, so that’s quite a lot. Each staff had her faults. I can’t believe the rave reviews about her staff being gentle ! The X-​ray tech couldn’t get the films out of my mouth fast enough. She practically yanked them out ! Then the tech who did the cleaning did a partial cleaning before she began poking around each tooth without explaining what she was doing or giving me a choice to stop her. My gums hurt into the night from her poking them. She seemed intent on the poking which later turned the dentist telling me I had all kinds of problems that would run thousands of dollars to treat. This is one of those outfits that over-​sell !

What an amazing dentist! Dr Sepi Pejham in Saratoga is first rate. She and her staff are ultra-​professional, yet warm and friendly. The receptionist greeted me with a big smile and called my by name… this was my first appointment, but she didn’t have to look at her book to know it was me. Dr. Sepi (as she is called) gave me a thorough exam, one of the most comprehensive I have had in years. She even checked my TMJ to see if there were any problems. She made recommendations on a treatment plan for a few minor dental needs and I have had two follow-​up appointments since then. No waiting… I was in the chair within minutes of my appointment time. Her care and concern for my comfort gave me confidence in her and in the treatment. Who likes to go to the dentist? Hardly anyone, but I can say I think I have finally found one that treats me as a valued patient, not just another «mouth».
