Dr. Aliabadi & Dr. Zhukovsky operated this office together. Dr. Zhukovsky has since left the practice. I feel the quality of care should not suffer due to quantity of patients. Extended wait times, exceeding over an hour even with an appointment. I've had root canals & crowns performed here. Initially, I thought treatments were pain free & successful until two of the crowns continued to cause me problems, uneven bite, odor & pain. Dr. Aliabadi, told me this was not unusual for root canals/crowns. She disreguarded my concerns, but did prescribe antibiotics on more than one occassion with assurrance that everything was fine. The infections became so severe that, I was told the tooth had to be removed. Unfortunately, she wanted to remove the wrong tooth! The lack & quality of care began to cause me concern. So I decided to get a well needed second opinion. More insult to injury, the new dentist referred me to an endodonist whom both determained that the reoccurring infections were due to a improper root canal proceedures. By not removing the root completely it caused me to lose money and teeth. I'm fortunate the infection didn't go septic. If you care about your health, well being & dental needs avoid, Dr. Aliabadi like the plague

About Front Desk: Judy: Exceptional, friendly, professional & sarcastic wit. I think remained a patient so long because of her devotion. If it weren't for her the place would fall apart. She's a wiz with scheduling & insurance concerns. Sadly, will miss Judy, but not as much as, I miss my teeth.

About Hygienist: Soft spoken and kind. Just be vigilant in monitoring what's being touched and that gloves are being changed. This is your right. Cleanings were gentle and somewhat average. Orginally, this practice provided with the complimentary toothbrush & floss. After about 2yrs. that perk was eliminate. Perhaps, those contributions now support the Dr. Masarati & Ferrari Fund.

I know this doctor: at least 8 years if not more
