Dr. Dania Alfathi, DMD

If I could give zero stars I would. I had an infection of the two back molars, I had been taking antibiotics that got rid of the facial swelling and pain. The first dentist I saw took X-Rays and referred me to an endodontist to evaluate for root canals on both molars. The endodontist said I needed three root canals, said no teeth need to be removed. So I decided to get a third opinion from a biological/holistic dentist, I did a Google search and randomly chose Cleveland Center for Integrative Dentistry. I was supposed to see Dr Pastouk but he greeted me when I cam in and gave me Dr Alfathi instead. her first question was what is my occupation. I felt like I was being sized up to see how much $ they could extract. Long story short, she diagnosed a bunch of problems that no other dentist diagnosed such as tongue tie that no doctor ever said I had. But yet gave a print out ONLY showing removal of the two teeth and dental implants and cost. Would not provide total written evaluation.

Don’t go here! I spent thousands of dollars on procedures that I didn’t need. I was told that I had periodontal disease and needed a root scaling and was also told that two fillings were bad and needed replacement. Stupid me did the root scaling and filling replacement. When they said I needed a wisdom tooth removed, I took my xrays (done before root scaling and filling replacement) to another dentist AND a periodontist/oral surgeon. BOTH said that my fillings hadn‘t needed replacement, BOTH said I don’t have periodontal disease and that neither would have recommended root scaling, and BOTH said my wisdom tooth is fine. So I wasted time and thousands of dollars on procedures that were absolutely not necessary. I was also told by Cleveland Center that I had a serious problem with my tongue tie and that I needed surgery. I have had two dentists and two ENT’s (so 4 other doctors) say that my tongue tie is minimal and not causing any issues. Thank God I didn’t fall for that one!
