Walnut Creek Dental – Massood Darvishzadeh, DDS

I rarely feel so inspired to write a review, but Dr. Darvish is over the top. My daughter had her wisdom tooth removed and we were expecting the same bloody mess and swollen chipmunk cheeks that all of her friends experienced. But no, she didn’t even need any pain killers, no inflammation, and we were out of there in 30 minutes, as if nothing happened.
Most dentists will remove all of a teenager’s wisdom teeth at once, causing a lot of unnecessary trauma and pain. I can’t believe other dentists are still using the same archaic methods that they used when I was a teenager. We appreciate Dr. Darvish’s honesty and patience in monitoring her tooth until the perfect time to remove it. He clearly demonstrated his skills and made the extraction of wisdom teeth nearly painless. We are so lucky to have a wonderful dentist :)

You can find everything you are looking for in a good dental office here! Dr. Darvishzadeh is an expert! His staff is polite and friendly and the environment is clean and comfortable. Dental office can be intimidating but you feel totally at ease here and you know you are in good hands of such a caring doctor.

The first time I came in, I was told I had 6 fillings. Who wants to hear that?
Dr. Darvish patiently explained to me on the x-​rays where they were – and even explained to me how it worked, and where they were, during the process. When I came back in to get my fillings done, I couldn’t feel anything – not even the needle when I got novocaine injected.
Every time I come in the receptionist is very pleasant and I love how they email me before my appointments. The dental hygienist is also very friendly and my teeth don’t feel too sensitive during the process.
My one complaint is that the TV showing dental procedures in the waiting room can be a little graphic since it disturbs me to see illustrations of complex dental work being done (teeth being drilled into, or gums).

Was supposed to get a $ 100 off for checking in. The office told me they would adjust the bill but never did! The dentist was ok — but seemed like I was visiting a used car dealer. Not going back!

Dr. Darvish was great during my first appointment. Staff are friendly. Wendy the Tooth cleaning lady was friendly as could be. I’m In the middle of getting a root Canal and so far so good. Could this finally be the first Dentist in 10 years that I can trust? Lol, My god lest hope so

Hey Y’all, I have the worst fear of the Dentist I was botched about 10 years back and never went back to the dentist till I met Doctor D and he has made that Fear ease. I walked in to his office a mess. I had 5 absences and rot and broken teeth in so much pain I was so mean and unhappy. When Doctor D. and I met he explained everything he needed to do and what was the first things we need done right then and there. I was in his chair the same day. He took out 4 teeth that day and I was feeling amazing. I did not feel a thing wail he was doing the extractions. Also He was in touch with my HIV doctor to make sure I was in a good place to get this all done. (never had a dentist call my personal Doc before). We have been working on my teeth since October. I am so happy with Doctor D and his Staff. Janet (Receptionist) is one of the most kind sweet and easy going ladies I have ever met in a dental office. She has made my visits easy and calm. Since again I really fear the dentist. I have to say y’all this guy will take really good care of you and so will his staff

Got a cleaning at Walnut Creek Dental. Good cleaning and very professional staff.

I was very unhappy with my experience here. When I scheduled an appointment in this office I gave the woman on the phone all of my insurance information to verify 2 months ahead of time. I also scheduled an appointment for my boyfriend and gave her all of his insurance information. I was told that she would verify our insurance coverage ahead of time for these appointments, Not only did she not bother to verify our insurance, but then she had the audacity to send us a bill for the services that were not covered.
My insurance only covers cleanings once every 6 months to the day. I would have pushed my appointment back a couple days had I been told that I was coming in a few days before the 6 month mark. Now they expect me to pay for it when, if they had done their job correctly, I would never have come if my insurance wouldn’t pay for it. I am a college student working part time and cannot afford to have unnecessary expenses.
Same thing happened with my boyfriend. He was not eligible for X-​rays and had they told us this information, we would’ve had x-​rays sent over from our previous office. Now they are demanding that we pay for this as well.
This is a money hungry doctor that will do anything to make a quick buck and I will not be going back.

This is the best dental experience ever. The staff are friendly and helpful. The dentist is accommodating, gentile and kind. The work they have done is top notch. I cannot say enough positive things about this experience.

Friendly staff. Went in a for a cavity filling and they were able to get the job down quickly and painlessly. The office is clean and quite, i love that there are big windows in front of the chair. Dr. Darvishzadeh and his assistant Stephanie worked on me, they made friendly conversation to make me feel comfortable and at ease. (like seriously who isn’t afraid of the dentist?). I hate long reviews (bc really, who reads them after the first paragraph?) so basically, staff is good, place is clean, quality of work is superb. Go here!

Dr. Darvishzadeh is definitely one of the most professional dentists I’ve ever had in Bay Area.
He truly cares about his patients and listen to their concerns.
A Very knowledgeable and sweet office staff!
Definitely a five star customer service!

Honestly, this was the worst experience at a dentist I’ve had. Everyone was very sweet, the Asian dentist that cleaned my teeth was great and the receptionists are very attentive and nice as well. My issue lies with Dr. Darvish.
I am very afraid of going to the dentist and this place made it 10x worse. I went in for a baby tooth that was still wedged in my mouth with the adult tooth under. That was a success and thankfully my adult tooth is growing in nicely.
Then Darvish tells me that one of my back molars has a slight cavity, shows me pictures, okay I see something. So I go ahead and have the tooth fixed. For two months after the surgery, I have been experiencing horrific pain eating ANYTHING, warm, cold, hot, textures like bread or pasta. I went ahead and went back there to tell Darvish and he tells me with the biggest smile on his face, «Oh okay! We’re going to have to do a root canal!» …excuse me? Because you messed up a tiny cavitiy, now I have to have a root ripped out of my skull? I was bawling during the surgery of having the cavity removed, and now this? Hell no.
On top of that, I brought my cousin in with me for emotional support during the surgery to have the baby tooth removed and cavity taken out. She asked the dentist about getting braces and his response was, «Oh sure let’s get that looked at so I can get paid!» … I get that he (maybe?) was half joking but honestly after his stupid smile while telling me that I have to get a root canal because of his money-​grubbing ass.
It’s been over a year and I still haven’t gone to the dentist to get my horribly painful, exposed tooth fixed because I am now utterly PETRIFIED to get anything done. Thank God I moved away, so now I can find a different dentist somewhere else once I muster the f***ing courage to let somebody look at my tooth he destroyed.

I highly recommend Dr. Darvish and his staff. They are highly knowledgeable and friendly, as they put you at ease. I came to this office two years ago for the invasalign treatment because my teeth were slightly crowded. Now, there is no more crowding — I could’t ask for better results. If I lived in the WC area, I would definitely go here for my general dental treatment.

Let me start off by saying I am PETRIFIED of dentists. The last dentist I went to hurt me so bad and made me bleed a lot! Since then it’s been years since I’ve seen a dentist. I didn’t want to go through that again, but I was noticing some plaque build up. I came here and was pleasantly surprised. Wendy did my cleaning and did a great job! She got rid of everything and I barely felt a thing! Of course there was spots that hurt but she constantly stopped the cleaning to give me a break and ask if I was ok. The Doctor is very friendly and took time before the appointment to get to know me. He seems very knowledgable and comforting. As much as I hate dentists, I won’t mind (too much) coming back here for another cleaning. The office staff is extremely nice! I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone!

I can’t say enough good things about the good people of Walnut Creek Dental. From perfect crowns for my wife, to an amazing chair side manner with my kids, and now Invisalign for my 15 year old daughter. Dr. Darvishzadeh (and his amazing staff) can do it all. I highly recommend for any dental procedure!

I am not good at writing reviews or do this often, to be honest this is one of my only ones, but I felt obligated to write one after one of my recent visits that I was treated so warmly and professionally as always.
I have been a patient at Walnut Creek Dental since probably around 2003. I only have good things to say about him and his staff. Beyond the technical part of his work which has been great (multiple complex treatments over the years), the entire team seems to be so fine tuned to work together. That is so refreshing to me. The staff is always nice and makes me feel good to be there, and honestly that is part of the reason that I have been going for all these years.
Dr. D is a talented and fantastic dentist. He has a creative approach and he has chosen what is better for me over more expensive treatments multiple times over the years, and after seeing this type of stuff he has gained my full trust. Anyways, if you are looking for a dentist, you have found a great one, don’t waste your time looking any further!

Dr Darvishzadeh is very friendly and professional. He discusses his treatment plan in details with me. I have confidence in his skills because all of my dental works so far have been excellent. I live in San Jose but it’s worth the traffic and the drive to go to see the best. I highly recommend him!

I found Dr. Darvish on Unilocal and had an impacted tooth that was painful. I came in and he and his staff treated me warmly and treated the problem tooth with a temporary fix. That evening I was at a play when the pain returned with a vengeance. I called his service, they reached him and he texted me back to ask which pharmacy to send the pain med Rx to. My previous dentists never had taken such care before.
I’ve now been a patient for 3 years and cannot say enough great things about the experience of being Dr. Darvish’s patient. His staff has the same values and professionalism and are a pleasure to see.

Very welcoming staff and environment. Doctor describes every procedure and takes his time with all the procedures. Definitely recommend this place to friends and family. Quality dentistry!

If you are looking for a terrific dentist, go to Dr. Darvish at Walnut Creek! He is an amazing dentist with a great sense of humor! The staff is very friendly and professional. The office is very clean and cozy! I highly recommend Dr. Darvish!
For my orthodontics procedure I needed to see a dentist to get a tooth extracted. So my orthodontist referred me to Dr. Darvish. The day of my appointment I was very nervous to get my tooth extracted. When I walked into the office I already felt comfortable, the staff was very friendly and made me fill out paper work. When I was done with the paper work, they walked me to the back and took real good care of me and I wasn’t even nervous anymore. Dr. Darvish is obviously very experienced and knowledgable. He extracted my tooth and I didn’t even feel anything, while he was extracting my tooth he tried to get my mind off of what was happening and it worked. I was so pleased with his work and his great personality made everything so much better.
