Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

A true gentleman. He explained everything perfectly, very good diagnosis. This dr treated me like a family member.

The building is easy to find and beautiful, the office is clean and lovely, and the experience was seamless. The staff went out of their way to make me feel welcomed and comfortable. Thumbs up for The Total Smile!!

Best dentist office I have ever been a patient of.Dr. Alex Farnoosh struck me as honest, professional, confident, and of service to me. I felt as though Dr. Farnoosh cared for me and the health of my teeth, rather than conveying Type-A personality / superiority complex. He is gentle and kind, as are his office staff and hygienist from The Total Smile.I highly recommend The Total Smile office and Dr. Farnoosh is now my dentist for life :)

I have been a patient of Dr. Alex Farnoosh for 2 years now and I always get exceptional care. My last visit was for an implant and I couldn't be happier with the results. He is the best cosmetic dentist I have met and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of amazing dental care.

The best dentist around! I hated going to the dentist when I was younger, but when I switched to Dr. Alex Farnoosh, he changed my mind. He was so gentle and was constantly making sure I was comfortable and pain free. I felt very safe and trusted him. Everyone in the office was so friendly as well. I would definitely recommend him! When you go to Dr. Farnoosh, you know you're in good hands!

I lost my teeth at an early age. I used to have upper dentures for years. I had tremendous problems with eating, speech, & my appearance. I was referred to Dr. Alex Farnoosh because I did not have enough bone for implants. He did extensive bone grafting to prepare my jaw bone for implants. He placed 10 implants in my upper jaw (see attached photo) & he did gum surgery in the lower jaw u& reconstructed my entire mouth. The treatment took almost a year, but it was worth it and I am so happy now.

Dr. Alex Farnoosh and his staff have always been so kind to me. The environment of his office is very relaxing and comfortable. The staff are very warm and make me feel at home. In addition, I just received a phone call from Dr. Farnoosh himself following a recent procedure to check up on how I was doing. I was really touched and it made me realize why I continue to visit no other office besides his. It is very evident that he truly cares about his patients and is very passionate about his work.

This is long over due. Alex performed lip repositioning and gum surgery. I was young and naive to move forward on getting my money back and getting represented. He gave me nerve damage that effected my under eye. Also you can see my scars where he cut my gums every time I smile. My gums went back to how they looked one month after surgery but worse with scars and nerve damage. He didn't want to give me a refund. Worst experience of my life

A friend recommended Dr. Farnoosh to me, and I'm really glad he did! I was battling dark gums and was always self conscious about my smile. Dr. Farnoosh worked miracles on me and I am eternally grateful.The staff was incredibly friendly, creating a stress free environment (which is always a plus when you have to see the dentist).Thanks Dr. Farnoosh - I'll definitely be recommending you to all my friends.

I recently went through an implant with Dr. Farnoosh.His work was outstanding, carefully going over my options and thoroughly explaining them all to me in detail. He carefully considered all factors that were important to me, such as the need for extensive surgery, recovery time and my insurance coverage. Together we reached the best solution that fit my needs.His demeanor is extremely energetic and positive. Highly recommended!!

Dr. Alex Farnoosh is a fantastic dentist. Over the past year, I have had some fairly severe dental issues (infected gum, extraction, implant, etc.) and Dr. Farnoosh handled all of these problems professionally and gently. He's such a down to earth person and is always concerned about pain management and making sure that all procedures are as painless as possible. I cannot recommend him enough!

Dr. Alex Farnoosh is the best! I had two gum grafts done this past year and both were completely pain-free and quick procedures.He is extremely knowledgeable and takes great care to thoroughly explain all of the options and procedures and answer any questions.You can tell he enjoys what he does and he is great at it! He is always positive, friendly and upbeat, and he makes you feel totally comfortable. Somehow he makes something as unpleasant as a gum graft seem not so bad.The rest of the staff
