Shirazi Behzad DDS

I went to Dr. Shirazi a few weeks ago with a major tooth problem. It kept me up most of the nights. I have to mention I am very scared of going to dentists but this pain and throbbing was getting worse and I had to see a dentist .
I was referred to Dr Shirazi by a friend. So after making the appointment which was very quick and painless I went in to see him. He was very caring about my phobia and he started his procedures on my tooth.
I really did not feel his shot and my fright was over .
I really recommend him for any dentist phobia patients out there.

I waited 1.5 months for an appointment with Dr. Shirazi after I chipped my central incisor. I had already cleared with my HMO that they would cover a composite repair and a general cleaning. I made his office aware that these were my reasons for the visit. When I arrived, it took two hours to have xrays and photos done, after which Dr. Shirazi looked in my mouth for no more than 20 seconds and promptly disappeared. His secretary, Bila, then spent 30 minutes developing a care plan, and told me that I needed a deep cleaning and debridement for $ 800 and that the composite would cost $ 400. I said that I did not want the deep cleaning, just a routine cleaning, and she said that Dr. Shirazi would not allow this. I called my insurance company and they said that the composite was indeed covered. I gave the phone to Bila, and she started arguing with the insurance rep to try and say it was not covered! The insurance rep assured me that it was, but Bila said I would be billed anyways. I requested to speak to Dr. Shirazi, but I was told I could not for another 2 hours!
This is a shady practice. I only saw Dr. Shirazi for a brief moment, but it is clear that his practice is completely unprofessional in both their attempts to overbill and, I believe, over-​treat patients, and in his refusal to provide care or even speak with his patients. I will be filing a complaint to both my insurance and the state medical board on this one. In case it helps to put this in context, I am a physician and have a basic level of knowledge of dentistry, as well as laws and professional standards regarding treatment and billing.
