Mahnaz Rashti, DDS

As a child I had horrible experiences in hospitals, and as a result, have been terrified of many things connected with doctors ever since. I was at the point of not seeing anyone in the medical profession at all until circumstances forced me to seek help which led to surgery three years ago. This did nothing to relieve my fears, however; so, when I learned that I had to seek help from a periodontist my terror knew no bounds. It was, therefore, one of the most wonderful experiences I have had to walk in to Dr. Rashti's office, and be received warmly and with understanding. From the moment I began filling out the questionaire, I knew I was in good hands. I gave answers to questions no one had ever asked before. Dr. Rashti is an angel. She took more time than I have ever spent with any dentist to explain just what would happen to me. She also showed an understanding and sensitivity I have never experienced before. She knew that I was totally blind, and spent time before our first meeting to try and figure out the best way to help me, and make me feel at ease. She needn't have worried. The warmth and understanding she showed from the beginning made me know right away that I would trust her. Her entire staff is just as warm. If anyone had told me that I would love going to the dentist, I would have said they were crazy, but I look forward to each visit, because I feel that Dr. Rashti is not just giving me the best dental care I could ask for--which she is--but she makes me feel that I have gained a friend as well.

I came to Dr. Rashti in 2004. Being the graceful and coordinated person that I am, while riding my bicycle, I managed to fall over the handlebars and landed on my face-specifically, my top front teeth. No one had to tell me how bad it was-it was obvious. I went to at least five different specialists before I saw Dr. Rashti. She explained to me the different options I had and what each would mean. We came to the decision to replace my four front teeth together, and in 2006 she performed the surgery. Since then, she’s been thorough and professional in our routine checkups, and I’m confident in her abilities to help me maintain my smile. more

Being of an acquaintance of Dr. Rashti for many years, I was so confident of her professional conduct and her sterling character that I traveled across the continent from New York to be treated by her. Let me assure you that it was well worth the trip. Her self confidence and calm domineer made me feel at ease from the start. Her professionalism is noticed not only in her service but also in the service provided by her great supporting staff and in her state of the art office. I would recommend her services to anyone who needs a treatment. Pros: Professionalism, Calm Domineer more

Dr. Rashti, I would like to share a bit of the experience I've had with you over the past five years since I've been treated at your office. I remember the first time I showed up- I was having a problem that turned out to be a root canal. Even though this isn't your specialty, you made sure I felt comfortable after my tearful breakdown and referred me to a doctor who could see me the same day. Even though I wasn't even your patient, you called to see how I was doing after my procedure. Soon after, I actually needed your services as I had been receiving peridontal treatment since my late teens. During the first gum treatment I received, which also involved the removal of a wisdom tooth, I took the entire day off. I just knew that my face would be completely swollen and I braced for a lot of pain. Well, neither came! In fact, I almost considered going to work that day, but decided to go on a date that night instead! Since then, I've had several surgeries, including 5 dental implants in various parts of my mouth. Again, you were so gentle and your office staff so supportive, that I came through with flying colors! As a young person who has faced tooth loss, it's important to have someone who understands my concerns and empathizes with the difficulties this causes. It's also important that things are done right so that I can look beautiful and natural. Well, I feel both beautiful and natural! No one around me- even my boyfriend knows that I have implants. Dr. Rashti, I appreciate how you explain everything you are going to do and make sure I am okay before you go forward. I have never felt that you are trying to sell me something just to make money. Implants are so expensive, yet you always find a way that I can get my treatments and pay for them over time. Thank you Dr. Rashti for all you have done. I love my implants!!

I have been a periodontal patient of Dr. Rashti’s for four and a half years. During this time I have had extensive soft tissue grafts involving surgery as well as regular periodontal cleaning and maintenance appointments. \r \r Dr. Rashti thoroughly explained the treatment necessary to help restore my gums to health. Perhaps equally important to me as a patient is her effort to deliver periodontal care and treatment in the absence of fear and anxiety. Along with her office staff Dr. Rashti has always presented a warm and welcoming atmosphere while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. \r \r It is without reservation that I can recommend Dr. Rashti to anyone seeking periodontal care of the highest quality. My experience in Dr. Rashti’s office has been both healing and positive. I have been very satisfied with the results obtained and thoughtful care I have received while a patient under her care! \r \r Sincerely, Mark Hunt Pros: Knowledge and Experience more

Dr. Rashti,\r \r It can be so hard to find a dentist that cares about their patients and does a great job. I was in need of periodontal services and found your name and website through my insurance. Since my first appointment with you, I have been very impressed with your assessment and services for my gums and teeth. I have never felt rushed through your appointments, nor like just another number. I have always felt that you care about my well-being and you're always careful to be as gentle as possible. After your soft tissue graft on my gum, I did not even need to take a pain reliever the next day. You always make me also feel comfortable to bring up my concerns, explaining and reassuring me of what you're going to do before you start. Ever since I was a child I did not like going to the dentist, but I don't mind going for your appointments. You and your staff also provide an enjoyable environment to be around when I'm there. Thank you so much for the time and care you've taken to improve my dental health! \r \r Tabitha Pros: Patience, Extra Care for Patients more

This periodontist will recommend that you need thousands of dollars in dental work. GET A SECOND OPINION!! In my opinion she has here wallet in mind NOT your best interests. I feel that she used the fact that I was having severe teeth pain to talk me into over $12,000 worth of work that ultimately did not and was not even going to take care of my problem. \r \r After originally writing this review I did more research and found that here dental license was revoked due verified complaints that she recommended excessive or unnecesary treatments to multiple patients. Subsequently it was then reinstated under terms of probation. Cons: Money hungry doctor!! more
