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.

it was the worst. I told him I am scared and he started by telling me stories of people who died and how it all can go wrong and he recommended me more surgery than the dentist said I need. He did not answer my questions and the staff rushed me and pressured me to do the extraction on the spot, all 4 when i needed just one. Do not go to this doctor, he has no empathy for patients

Seeing Dr. Hoghooghi has been my worse experience. He has no sense of empathy for his patients. He has put me through hell, I ended up in ER two days after his surgery, have been left with nerve damage, and on top of that, I had to listen to him yelling at me for why I have complained. Two months later, for my follow up visit, he refused to see me because I told the receptionist that I can't move forward with the implant and have to wait for nine months. They are exteremly condescending

Visiting ''Dr.'' Hoghooghi's office was the worst experience to date, seeing doctors in the USA for almost two decades. He has shown zero respect to me as a patient, seeing only his own reflection in the mirror; he has treated me not as a human being but as "It"—I felt like I'm not in the USA anymore... A doctor who has a loud tirade on a phone with another doctor, discussing his patient/me, but failing to even acknowledge patient's/my presence, does NOT deserve to be called a doctor!

Had Dr. Hoghooghi remove my wisdom teeth, 2 at a time with just Novocaine. I was terrified at first extraction, then just anxious at second one. Both times, the staff and Dr. Hoghooghi were caring and compassionate and did whatever they could to calm me down. Both extractions went well thanks to their professionalism. Hopefully, I never need an oral surgeon again, but if I do, Dr. Hoghooghi's the one I'll see. :)
