A Farhadian Dental Group

This was my first visit to Dr. Farhadian’s office. First and foremost, the office was nice, new and super clean. I explained that I had been experiencing some pain in my upper tooth. The doctor was very attentive and listened to my concerns. After an exam and some X-​rays, it was determined that I needed two fillings. I don’t know about you, but I’m always very hesitant about going to the dentist because I am what some may call a «chicken». Thankfully/​surprisingly, Dr. F was super gentle and i barely felt a thing.
If you’re looking for a gentle, caring doctor, I def recommend Dr. Farhadian.

Awesome Dentist & Staff! I have never been in pain after a cleaning, they always let me know what needs to be done and keep me calm when they are going to do a procedure. Maira is always nice and helps me when i need to change an appointment. I highly recommend this dentist! PLUS the remodel looks fantastic! :)

Amazing experience — never met a kinder dentist… Plus’ Maria (lady in the front) greeting and welcoming smile made me feel at home.

I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that there are plenty of things I’d rather be doing than sitting in a dental chair with metal picks in my mouth, but Dr. F somehow finds a way to make it easy, and before I know it I’m out of there. On top of that, the staff is all so nice, especially Maria, who always seems to find a way to find time in my schedule despite how busy the office always is.
I also like how conveniently-​located the office is along the 118. Hard to beat.

So there are many points that I want to make when writing this post and if anyone can correct me on how any procedure is done in the future than I will change my review but after today, I left this office crying.
Now granted I was here at the end of last week because a filling had become loose and Dr. F fixed it, and it was painless just like he had promised, I don’t do well with needles and so the assistant even held my hand and it was a great experience and after leaving I wasn’t so afraid of the dentist anymore. After leaving on Friday I would have given this place 5+ stars.
That all changed today when I called this morning and was having car troubles and told the front staff that I was running late, when I arrived I was greeted warmly like the first time the assistant came in and got me set up for my cleaning this time, which by the way cost my dad $ 150 to pay for because I was irresponsible the last couple of years and never got it done so I was going to need a deep cleaning.
The new dentist walked in and it was like out of a horror dentist movie, he was rude and very standoffish I was the one who had to reach out my hand to introduce myself, not only that after I had apologized for being late his passive aggressive response through me off and I found him to be very distasteful but of course we proceeded on, and just figured this is just how some people are.
Now as I mentioned before I haven’t been to the dentist in awhile so I was going to need some heavy cleaning, so this dentist stuck the saliva ejector in my mouth, swabbed some numbing agent and off he went cleaning my teeth. It was painful to say the least but the worst part was him not paying attention to the fact that I was pretty much drowning the entire time, not once did he try to move the ejector and I would try to swallow and it was like I was drowning on my own saliva! When I told him I couldn’t breathe, again he was so rude and responded with, you can’t breathe out of your nose? I’m sorry it’s a little difficult to breathe out of my nose when my head is back and I feel like I’m in a tortured water boarding position. As I said before I don’t do well with pain and the plaque build up after the years was pretty bad and so a couple times I got pretty squeamish and the last time he finally said alright I’m done you can’t handle this, I tried… took off his gloves and said you’ll need to figure out a dentist to go to when you move. I couldn’t believe how he came off to me. People hate the dentist!!! And he just made it a million times worse for me! I got up and walked straight into the bathroom and started crying because I couldn’t believe what had just happened. The assistant walked back in and polished my teeth and saw how upset I was and tried to make it better but to be honest I never write long reviews like this or even take the time to write a bad review but I feel pretty traumatized after this guy. And if you want your teeth cleaned I wouldn’t go here… Have Dr. F fix your teeth but don’t have this other guy clean them unless you want to find out what water boarding feels like.

Dr. Farhadian’s gentle and honest demeanor are also very apparent in his dentistry. He did a wonderful job putting me at ease when I was in the office for 2 fillings that I had long ignored. I barely felt a thing and no longer had pain. His staff is also super friendly and sweet. Risa has done a few cleanings for me and she is truly a doll. If you’re looking for an honest, no pressure atmosphere with the utmost care this is your place!

Trudgeon is very gentle and eased my worries about a «worst case scenario» on an abscess. The reception staff is also very responsible and helpful. The décor makes you feel at home. There is a lot of dark, but clean carpeting underneath the stations. The theme feels like an outdoorsman’s paradise. My only complaint is that I was frightened into what «ifs», and Trudgeon will not extract a tooth that is badly injured/​rotted. You may appreciate this, because he will refer to an oral surgeon.

My family uses this dentist for all of our dental work, both for the kids and the adults. The hygienists are very gentle and they don’t nag you if they think you haven’t flossed enough. Dr. Trudgeon is very pleasant and down to earth. The Office is clean and comfortably decorated. The front end staff does a good job of trying to accomodate patients’ needs, even with a family of five. My kids don’t mind coming here either.

This is a wonderful dental practice. Dr. Farhadian runs a modern clinic with all the newest bells and whistles. Maria at the front desk is always pleasant and I love Risa, the hygienist. The other assistants are also very qualified and great. I love seeing all the new machines and techniques. The biggest plus, I had two old fillings replaced and it didn’t hurt. Ypu must go to this clinic.

I just got back from an appointment with a different dentist. I looked for one closer to glendale because I just moved. BIG MISTAKE! I hated the painful 3 minute cleaning the doctor performed. Dr. Trudgeon’s hygenist does such a wonderful and complete cleaning — I didn’t realize till I went somewhere else how good I had it with Dr. Trudgeon. My next appointment in 6 months will be at Dr. Trudgeon’s — I don’t care if I have to drive far to get there — it is so worth it. Also, I have a friend who has had complicated dental work (root canals, etc…) and she loves Dr. Trudgeon. She was the one who referred me to him. I probably went to his office about 4 or 5 times for checkup and cleaning and each time was a great experience.

Even if you hate going to the dentist, you’ll want to visit Dr. Trudgeon. Not only does he have an awesome staff (shout-​out to Star!) but he is THE kindest, gentlest, funniest, sweetest dentist ever.
For some reason, novocaine doesn’t work well on me, or maybe it just takes a long time to take effect because my gums are so dense and manly. Dr. Trudgeon ALWAYS waited to start any dental work until I said my mouth was numb (unlike other dentists I’d visited in the past — which explains why I don’t like going to the dentist.)
He also referred me to the best oral surgeon ever when I needed my wisdom teeth removed… but that’s another review.
