Saeid Badie, DDS

Both times I have scheduled an appointment the front office has told me that they don’t have me in the schedule and I will need to come back. The second time I kept the appointment card to prove and they did not care and acted like it was my fault. This office is VERY DISORGANIZED and the right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing! The lady at the front has a nasty attitude. When I called to see if they accepted my insurance they said «we accept all insurances» come to find out the receptionist told me that she is just required to tell everyone that and they did not even accept my insurance after all that. I had to take off work several times for their mistakes and it’s not a short drive. Very disappointed with customer service. I have found a new office.
**edit** I feel the need to add that after I wrote this review of my experience one of the employees of this dental office messaged me on Unilocal and harassed me for writing the review. :-/

Wow. I really wanted the Unilocal reviews I read about this one to be true. Unfortunately, I did not find them to be accurate. It is important to note that, even though I had an appointment, the wait was over an hour. Also, the attempt at ‘going paperless’ by having clients sign in on an iPad is cute and gimmicky; please oh please do clean the iPad between each patient. Finally, the X-​Ray area is very cluttered with debris and I could overhear conversations between the dentist and other clients. For these reasons, I walked out before the cleaning, so my review is not reflective of an experience with the dentist himself, only the office staff and the environment. Note: I only gave this place one star because Unilocal did not let me get away with a zero or negative star rating.

Seems there are multiple pages for him here on Unilocal — so copying my review from another one of his pages. Maybe Unilocal will get rid of this duplicates one day… :)
It’s been hard to find a dentist who takes our insurance and who I don’t have doubts about (poor reviews, conveyor belt atmosphere). Our last dentist was great (affordable, good), but with looming dental bills for my husband (multiple crown replacements are needed), we decided to find a dentist who is part of our dental plan. It was a long search before we found Dr. Badie. Based on good reviews and lots of info online, we decided to give him a try.
My teeth are pretty good (only a few minor cavities in my life — and the semi-​regular push by each new dentist to push a wisdom tooth removal that I have no plans on removing unless it actually causes problems). I was more worried about what we’d hear when my husband went. We’d been told years ago by a dentist with a super hi-​tech office that he NEEDED 4 crowns and right away (I’m assuming that’s how some dentists can pay for/​afford all the newest gadgets). And that it would only be $ 2300 out of pocket (with insurance paying another $ 2000). We were skeptical (about the cost and the need) and found another dentist. That one said «in the future you might need one or two, but right now, you just need 1 filling.» He was right — 1 filling took care of him for over 2 years. But, the out of pocket costs for the crowns my husband now needs were too high to continue going there. Our insurance wasn’t accepted by that dentist and while the fees aren’t crazy (compared to the previous dentist), 2 crowns are not cheap.
Jump to my husband’s first visit to Dr. Badie a couple weeks ago. He didn’t share what had been said by the other 2 dentists. The end result of his evaluation was 2 crowns, 2 fillings. Still not the 4 crowns that the dentist years ago had insisted upon. And while Dr. Badie’s office seems to have a lot of hi-​tech gadgets, it seems he’s not paying for it by pushing unneeded work. My husband was pretty pleased when he left. We got a full estimate by tooth/​work and plan to get that going soon.
Oh, and they take care of kids, too. My son is 4 and had no problems there (he’s been getting his teeth cleaned since he was 2). They’re all great with him (they have little toys they give to kids when they’re done) and don’t push unnecessary xrays (his teeth are fine and no need to get them and expose him to radiation for no reason).
And, as a nice, old-​school touch… we all got welcome letters after our first visit (pretty standard form letters, but with a handwritten note added to it).

As someone in the healthcare community, I am always skeptical of most any professional, especially dental professionals. Dr. Badie is without a doubt one of the nicest people I have met. He is both helpful, kind, and thorough. If you need anything done, I couldn’t recommend anyone more strongly.

I have been seeing Dr. Badie for at least 14 years now! He and his staff are the most friendly and caring people ever! Regardless of what happens, they try their best to help you.
They are gentle with their treatments on you and are constantly checking up on you, especially when they have to give you numb shots or laughing gas. I seriously recommended Dr. Badie; many of my family members come to him for their dental care.
