Marcus Moghadam

Let me re-​cap this afternoon/​early evening and you’ll see why I am giving 5 stars.
5.10 pm:
Without any warning signs, our 5-​year old starts crying because one of his teeth hurts badly.
5.15 pm:
I am finding Marcus Moghadam’s dentist office online, learn that they are open late Mondays to Fridays and call their number.
5.17 pm:
The reception desk picks up and a very friendly lady tells me to come in right away — without having an appointment or having been a patient before — after she hears about our situation.
She advises us though that the wait might be long because they are really busy today.
5.35 pm:
The kid and I arrive at the most stylish dental office I have ever seen.
We are being asked to fill out a form and to wait in the waiting room.
There is one other patient waiting in there.
5.37 pm:
The other patient is being called in while I am filling out the form.
5.39 pm:
The dental assistant calls us in and leads us to one of the examination rooms.
Good thing I just finished that form.
5.40 pm:
The dental assistant sets everything up and asks the kid a few questions in a really friendly voice. Then she leaves to get the doctor.
5.50 pm:
Dr. Moghadam arrives.
He spends a couple of minutes with connecting with Junior by asking him questions about kindergarten and his interests. He reveals that he is a dad of 3 kids and he really does a great job of explaining everything to our son so that he can understand it.
6.00 pm:
After an examination without any frills, it is clear that Ace needs a filling in one of his molars.
The doctor explains everything to the kid and goes over the options with me.
6.10 pm:
The dental assistant comes in and her and the doctor start the procedure.
They are both incredible gentle and do their best to make my child feel fine and make sure that he is not in pain although he has not received any anaesthetic or laugh gas.
6.25 pm:
The hole is filled and Dr. Moghadam advises me on follow-​up care as well as future procedures that are needed.
All of his advice is very reasonable and I can’t help but feel that he is only concerned about my child’s teeth and not about his money.
Kiddo is allowed to select a little gift from the treasure chest.
6.35 pm:
We make a follow-​up appointment at the reception desk and then head home.
Ace feels a ton a better and states that he really likes the dentist and that this procedure wasn’t so bad.
Best dental experience I have ever witnessed.
Gentle, understanding, incredibly friendly and nobody was trying to up-​sell you or similar.
I would give 6 stars if I could.
