Navid Bahrami, DDS

He is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. I have been going to him for over a year. His office staff is very friendly. Dr. Bahramis is friendly, honest and truthful he is very easy going and most of all very patient. Dr. Bahramis and his staff will always makes sure to answer any questions or concerns you have regarding your needs. I have never felt rushed out because he has been busy with other patients. I highly recommend and would refer anyone to Dr. Bahrami for there next visit.

CUSTOMER BEWARE!!!
I had a great dentist and only went to this place because of the convenient location. When I scheduled the appointment, they checked my record via Delta Dental and let me know that I was on schedule for my next exam and xray. BASED ON THIS, I went ahead and scheduled my appointment for just those services. I showed up on time and actually right as the doors opened that Saturday. When the xrays were being taken by the dental assistant, he actually had me to hold the plastic pieces in place with my finger. I thought this was rather odd. The dentist was an older woman and I just thought, «Hmmm». I laid back in the chair and had to ask for the head rest to be adjusted a couple of times. So she proceed to check and clean my teeth. She was short and practically LAYING on my face. She also asked her assistant to place clear goggles on me. He asked «for her»??? WHO ELSE would they be for? Again, I had NEVER worn goggles for a freakin dental exam. She stated that was to protect me from having water in my face. Well, I guess I did need them because water was squirting all over the place! WTH!!! I couldn’t WAIT to get outta there! There was no suction cup to spit in. When I was done, I wasn’t even given a new tooth brush and dental floss. I scheduled an appointment for my next visit, even though I KNOW, I’D NEVER EVER come back to this place. One month later I receive a dental statement showing what my dental plan covered and what I owe… WHAT!!! I am being required to pay for the «Bitewings» used for the xray! And according to the statement, I had a DEEP cleaning done. OH NO I DID NOT! I called Delta Dental and they instructed me to call the dentist directly, but also stated that a deep cleaning would have taken far more time that the time that I spent there that day. He also told me how to proceed with a Grievance. I called the dental office and of course there was no office manager OR dentist there today to help me. The dental assistant (clearly the one that was there the day of my service) told me that they really don’t do any dental services on Mondays. He hemmed and hawed, but really couldn’t answer my questions and suggested that I call back the next day… WHICH I CERTAINLY WILL.
VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE ALL AROUND. I wish I had read the other reviews before going to this lousy place. I have scheduled my next dental service with my previous dentist.

They told my mother that she needed thousands of dollars worth of surgery on her gums. We got her a second opinion and have sine taken her to four other dentists (three were family) and they said that she didn’t need any.
I have since found out that they have a very bad reputation. Shame on Dr. Bahrami. Seems my mother isn’t the only one.

I’ve been going to Dr. B’s for the past year and I’ve always been very happy with the service and care. I’ve had several fillings, a root canal, and a bridge done (my teeth aren’t so great I guess) and all went off without a hitch. They were ready to go at my appointment times, the doctors were professional, answered all my questions, and the rest of the staff was very nice. I’ve never had an issue and I plan on continuing my dental care here. I don’t think the rest of the reviews here on Unilocal are representative of the level of service provided here. One of them seems to be from a disgruntled employee and at least one seemed to be very happy with the service but (mistakenly?) only gave 3 stars.

Recently I was visiting my family in El Cerrito that I went to Dr Bahrami ‘s Office. I have seen my fair share of Dentist & Implant specialists in my time and Dr. Bahrami is clearly one of the best. His staff not only made me feel comfortable but worked with me financially. They truly have made a difference.

This is a business that charges insurance for services or bills insurance in misleading ways. I paid in cash for a crown re-​cement. They then charged the same treatment to my insurance who paid also. I got a letter explaining what was paid and I was surprised at the double charge.
I asked for details and was told by insurance that the office owes me a credit. I called to request a refund. The manager (Sofia) was defensive and hung up and double talked about the treatment and way the insurance was billed. The treatment was provided as in my case, as a recement, which was billed as seeing their doctor for pain — I had no pain but did see a dentist who charged me for her time to recement. That place is absurd in its charging/​billing practices. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone.
Read other posts, their is definitely truth to the negative reviews.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST.
My first time here was great, so when it came time for me to get my other two wisdom teeth taken out I was already at ease and ready to go. Until I call to make my appointment and they tell me that I don’t have enough money left in my insurance to cover the costs.
I’m like. hold up? what happened to the original price I was quoted… AFTER THE X-​RAYS. and the woman pretended to not know what I was talking about. This place also charged me for a cleaning I never received and then tried to get me back in by stating that since I was already charged I should let them do it anyway and get my other teeth pulled.
Low and behold I finally get my appointment and they begrudgingly offered me the original price. I was given the run around several times and told to call back for the manager.
I go in for the big day, which apparently was so complicated because I needed a specialist.
Everyone there was chattering in another language… and talking serious shit about me –off in their own little world.
I felt like an after thought. No one went over the aftercare, what the expect.
I was given a sheet to look over and the specialist was not sympathetic to my teeth fears.
I’m not asking you to hold my hand and call me a princess but if you are forcibly taking my teeth out you better be nice about it.
In short, this place is a scam and they kept calling after I made it clear that I didn’t want their services anymore. I felt like I was breaking up with a psycho girlfriend.

So the went to the office and asked if they can remove my wisdom teeth they r really bothering me. they set me appt to have the remove and then i get there and has already called off work ahead of time… i get there at 10:30 they do the X-​Ray and have me sit in the chair for about an hour before they come off with denist and the front desk lady and she tells me i can’t get them pulled today and I’m looking at her like she crazy and they she tells me i got to get my crown done I’m like hell no and the wisdom in the first week of march i can’t wait that long. they they charge me a shit load of money for one crown and they didn’t even do the crown right they broke three of them so they didn’t fix it they just told me to come back in two weeks to get the real one. I won’t be going back to them until they put my crown in.

I had a root canal and a crown put in by Dr. Bahrami. Less than a year later I had to have it re-​done because it had gotten infected. A complete waste of money. Not only that, but the crown Bahrami had put in looked like a piece of chalk — it looked nothing like tooth. The dentist that re-​did my root canal put in a crown that actually looked like a tooth. Never again.
Bottom line: Avoid this place if you can help it.

First of all I am Dental Phobic. The smell, the drill, the prone position, all of it is torture to me. Very bad childhood experiences. I’m the type of patient that wants sedation, which is very very expensive. SO needless to say I need work. Dr. Bahrimi may not have an upbeat personality but he is kind, gentle and patient with a nutcase like me. His office is sparse and his staff a little off but I actually no longer have anxiety attacks the night before I am to go have a procedure. And that’s a lot coming from me.
