Jackson Family Dental Practice Parhizkari A DDS

long story short. I used to go to this dentist and I had some work done, not only are they over priced but during them doing the work on my mouth the dentist caused me to develop TMJ (they were not very concerned with my comfort) and the dentist doesn’t have the best bedside manner. I have had work done in the past but it never ended with a clicking jaw, and incredible migraines. The dentist is not very gentle but the receptionist is pretty friendly.
I am definitely going to keep away from this and if I could give it no stars I would place and that is that.

I no longer go here anymore. I have insurance and my partner is covered from mine. She got a lot of work done already and unfortunately, it was not till recently we decided to compare prices with other dentists.
This office overcharges for fillings compared to other offices. The dentist (I forgot her name) was sanding down one of her teeth and my partner (while I was sitting in the same room watching everything) was getting hurt bcuz her mouth was wide open for a very long time. The dentist looked annoyed when she had to stop and just told her, «It’s ok, we’re almost done.» Then, a week later, her jaw started clicking and she started getting excrutiating pain on the right side of her face. The doctor said she has TMJ now! And… they sanded down one of her teeth so low that it hurts eating crunchy foods.
I regret paying this office the amount of money we’ve paid. WORD OF ADVICE– BEWARE OF THIS OFFICE and make sure you research your dentists on Unilocal before going to them.

The receptionists were friendly in the office, and I didn’t have to wait much longer than 10 min before being called in to be seen. This was my first consultation with Dr. Parhizkari. She spent time explaining what was going on in my mouth and how I could help prevent further problems. She even showed me the difference with a hand-​held mirror between a cavity and a dark stain in one of the grooves of the teeth.
A lady from the front desk came in after the visit to make sure I understood everything that was gone over in the appointment and still needed to be done. Scheduling of my follow-​up appointment was easy and convenient.

I’ve been a patient at Jackson Family Dental for a few years shy of a decade– and they are the reason why I absolutely loathe going to the dentist.
Like most people, I loathe a trip to the dentist’s office. Which is why when I do go, I would like for my experience to be stress free and as easy breezy as possible so at the end of my appointments, I wouldn’t dread returning for another visit.
I’ve been a little scared to Unilocal this business because I am currently in the process of switching over to Dr. Luan (who I discovered because I needed to have a root canal and Jackson Dental doesn’t do those) and also because of that horrid story of a Unilocaler being sued by a dentist. In spite of that, I feel good because this Unilocal is 100% true so the following shit talking can go on the record.
Main source of annoyance: Receptionist.
There’s no nice way to put this, lady is a bitch. Now, there are 2 people that work the phones, I’m talking about the head bitch that answers phones and takes appointments (Not Monica).
Like most receptionists, she takes on the role of the gate keeper and because of that she has this bullshit sense of authority over patients because she deals with this shit day in and day out. Alright, I get it. What I don’t like about her is she is very unprofessional. VERY. To be specific, I am 22 years old and still under my mother’s hmo dental insurance. Now, I know some people may think that 22 and under her mother’s dental insurance still? WELL… even if you do think that, talk shit in your mind, ignore it, be professional, and be glad I’m coming in and bringing you guys business. Why I am annoyed is because this mightier than thou receptionist had the nerve to say to me twice, «you’re 22 and you’re still on your mom’s insurance?» my response, «yes, I’m still a full time student.» Her response, «You’re 22 and you’re still a full time student?» me: «YES!»
ALLLLRIGHT MISS THANG… One, that is none of your fucking business. TWO, you are so fucking ignorant. THREE, I don’t find it necessary to explain to you that my mother having me on her dental insurance is her way of helping me since I am a full time college student at a private university, that I PAY for my own tuition while juggling a career full time (that is going places unlike *ahem* YOU *ahem*) AND while being a mother to my 3 year old son. SO YES, I AM ON MY MOTHERS FUCKING DENTAL INSURANCE BECAUSE I CAN!
Another thing, I asked her for an itemized list of the procedures I needed to be done as well as the out of pocket co pay cost. Her response: I can only write one of them on a post it for you. Me: Can I just have a print out? Her: No, I don’t have time. It takes time to do it because I need to put it in the computer. Me: Can you email it to me? Her: No, I can’t do it on this computer. Me: Can you fax it to me later today when you have the time to get it done? Her: Yes.
Well… that appointment was last Friday. It is now Thursday and I have yet to receive that fax she promised. It’s a sign leave them now!!! If by some freak chance I gave them the wrong number, I would have appreciated a courtesy call/​cmail that there was a problem sending the fax. THE DAY OF OR THE NEXT DAY.
GAHHH… Not even in the dentist’s chair and I’ve already been caused grief. Honestly though, she’s always had a bitchy attitude about something throughout the years I’ve been coming there. «I.E– you’re 18 and your mother still has to pay for your visits?» Overall, she just has this condescending tone when she talks to me. And for that, I’d like to give her the middle finger over and over and over again until my middle fingers fall off.
As for the dentists– they’re not bad. My only complaint going to them for many years is that I’ve been seen by a different dentist practically every time I go there. I’d prefer to develop a relationship with my dentist so when I return I’d feel more comfortable.
The location McKee & Jackson– need I say more? The actual office– not impressive at all. Very old school, plain, not modern or techy.
Last complaint, I don’t really like the way they operate their business. This is just my opinion. Let’s say you have terrible toothache and need to have a cavity filled as soon as possible. Jackson Dental won’t let a dentist do work on you until you pay up front. So guess what? Even though your toothache is killing you on Monday and your pay day is the following Monday, you have to wait until you had those funds to get your work done. NOW, I understand they are running a business and demand payment up front so a lot of people can disagree but I hope some people can still understand what I’m about to say– to me that doesn’t promote good dental health and it shows they don’t really care about their patients. Especially when there are dental offices in San Jose that will have the dentist work on you and then send you the bill to pay.
I finally decided not to be lazy and to switch dentists. G
