Mohsen Ansari, DDS

I wouldn’t recomment Dr. Ansari. He found too many cavity in my teeth while after checking with other dentist it turned out I didn’t need that many fillings. Also, after I asked my records to be sent to my new dentist he asked for 25 $ fee and said they wanted me filling up a form. Yet they didn’t bother sending me the form. I don’t like leaving one star but given that a dentist act so unprofessional I am left with no other choice. I wish there was a legal body to refer to in such cases that dentist damages your teeth when no filling is needed. Also, in terms of appointment in many occasions even though I got to his office on time I had to wait an extra hour in office. I won’t recommend this place to anyone

I wouldn’t recommend Dr. Ansari. He spent a few minutes in the office with me and didn’t spend the time to explain his diagnosis.
When I got my x-​rays done here, I was in excruciating pain and expressed my discomfort, but nothing changed to improve my discomfort.

My visit with Dr. Ansari is my first positive experience at any dentist, ever. He’s very knowledgable and kind. He made sure to explain the status of my teeth thoroughly and made it easy to understand. His staff is very friendly and accommodating.
I highly recommend Dr. Ansari to anyone!

I had a previous one-​star review, but took it down after Dr Ansari hired a lawyer, who told me to take it down (being careful with my language here). I suspect that’s why ratings are reasonably high.
(Again, watching my words) I did not find my visit worthwhile. I thought service was poor and I felt set up to pay much more money than originally outlined.
This is also the type of dude that hires a lawyer when you leave a bad review on Unilocal (hi Gina Devito!). This has nothing to do with dentistry or service, but is probably a solid leading indicator.
I promise to post any future legal threats, so stay tuned!

I had a really bad experience here. It was my first time in a dentist’s office in America since childhood and very disheartening. The receptionist was nice enough, I didn’t wait too long but the office felt dingy and out of date and there seemed to be a generally bad or odd vibe I can’t pinpoint.
Dr Ansari was absolutely unfriendly. Not a smile or hello or small talk– just a frown and down to business poking in my mouth. When it was revealed that I had multiple cavities and wanted to ask a few questions about the process, he became annoyed and dismissive.
I feel like before paying thousands of dollars for a procedure that it’s standard to ask about the process.
I felt sick to my stomach after leaving here– and it didn’t help to have their office call me a hundred times to see when I wanted to schedule those thousand dollar fillings.

Once again Dr. A & his fabulous team impressed me. Came for my follow up visit to my treatment & leaving the office so happy. Got my crown fitted & finished the rest of my deep cleaning can’t say enough about how great Dr. Ansari & his team are, specially his main assistant Noemi!
Have more treatment to finish & for the first time I can confess that I’m not scared to come back & see my dentist!
Shout out to Dr. A & his team :-) You guys are truly awesome!
Cheers, Sara

I love love love my dentist and everyone who works there. Dr. Ansari is highly skilled and with a gentle touch. I actually look forward to my visits so I can catch up with everyone there. I’ve been coming here for years!

Great staff! They are very welcoming, polite, and personable. The atmosphere is also very inviting and clean. Appointment went great, will definitely be back again!

The team at Ansari DDS is phenomenal. They are caring, knowledgeable and helpful– super easy to work with, the front desk is fantastic, the staff is terrific… Dr. Ansari is great and does wonderful work.

Have been a patient of Dr. Ansari’s since 2003. My most recent work by his team was by a specialist there for my first root canal. Worked out perfectly, and we were able to drill through an existing crown that was in good shape (that I had put on by Dr. Ansari in 2012), which saved me $ 600. That part of my mouth feels solid and pain-​free again. Also, never experienced any discomfort during or since the procedure, and no swelling of any sort. It pays to catch these things in time. The warning sign was a toothache the week before that went away after a couple days of Tylenol with codeine (when the nerve died).
I’ve been a patient at the Hayward facility at Southland in the basement of Sears up till now, but with my current commute, the downtown SF office is more convenient (I use BART) and boy what a view! Both offices share the same friendly and able staff and team of doctors and specialists.

I love coming to the dentist! Dr Anzari and his team are amazing! I would definitely bring my mom here

Unlike most people, I love LOVE going to the dentist. Unfortunately, due to DMO I had to switch from a wonderful Dr. and was provided with the worst experience I’ve ever had at a Dentist office (and I have a cavity!).
I actually walked out after ten minutes – something I’ve never done before because I didn’t want to find out what happened when they brought out the sharp tools after the most bizarre (and painful) x-​ray experience I’ve ever had.
Note to dentist’s asst.: even if you try, really, REALLY hard, you cannot reshape my jaw to meet the needs of POS x-​ray machine. If I tell you, SEVERAL TIMES, that a piece of rectangle plastic does not, and will not, fit, not matter how hard you push (and when I taste blood) I’m going to leave.
It wasn’t until the fourth time I repeated myself when I realized the woman either a) plain did not understand me or b) simply did not care. That blank look on her face was so infuriating. At least I got her to stop poking me in the eye after the third time. I mean, how can you not notice that your finger is in my eye socket? I feel like that’s something you would notice?!
What an awful place. I hate you DMO. I miss my old dentist.

I’m surprised by the negatives reviews. I was just there for my quarterly cleaning and had another GREAT experience! Appointments start on time, super friendly staff, very professional and I’m happy with the results. I encourage you to give them a try — you won’t be sorry!

If I could give a negative star I would. Dr. Ansari ruined my credit score. I went to Dr. Ansari, expecting to see Dr. Chan years ago. I was not notified that he had purchased the business but I wasnt going to skip my appointment once I arrived. Dr. Ansari sent me home with my fillings uneven. I called to let him know that they needed to be resurfaced and I was very uncomfortable. I made my appointment, took time off of work and waited in his office for about 45 minutes. Then I am told he can’t see me. He’s too busy. WHY WOULD YOU HAVE ME COME IN IF YOU’RE TOO BUSY! So I did what anyone else would to and I made an appointment at another dentist to fix what Dr. Ansari did. I then got a bill for the filling and I explained I would not pay for the services. Fast forward 5 years and the SCUMBAG turned my bill into a collection agency. I’ve since had to pay but what kind of business can you run by ripping people off. He must have gotten a couple hundred dollars for turning my account into the collections agency. ruining my credit score. I sure do hope Karma repays Dr. Ansari someday. He should be ashamed of himself. Do not see him. Not only did he do a poor job he didn’t take responsibility for his work.

I’m not sure what all these negative reviews are about but I’ve been coming here for 5+ years. Dr. Ansari and staff have always done a great job in with my teeth. Taking extra time to do the job right. They have had to fix mistakes other dentists have made. I believe he is a fantastic dentist!

I will NEVER come back here again.
The office offer poor service.
1. The dental hygienist did not do a good job of flossing my teeth. I have been doing a better job than she could.
2. The receptionist is rude and just wanted to charge as much money for service that should be free. I asked to have my x-​ray be sent to a new Dental office. When I talk to the receptionist she gave me a form which requires me to pay $ 35 just to mail my the x-​ray picture that I paid for sent to the new office. I called my insurance and they said that according to the ins. policy, the service should be free of charge. Finally my ins. call the office and they waive the fee.
After that issue is resolved the receptionist said that I have to come to the office to pick up the x-​ray myself because she will not guarantee that the x-​ray picture will get to the new office. I was flabbergasted by her apathetic attitude. I explained that I had my x-​ray picture sent many time before and the other office never had issue sending them to the right office and they never attempt to charge me for such a basic service.
Since I didn’t have time to come pick up the x-​ray I decided to have it mail and sure enough the x-​rays NEVER arrive to it’s destination.
3. Dr Ansari is OK. I can’t evaluate much about his skill as a dentist because I only came for a checkup and cleaning. However when I discuss about my x-​ray with him and asked too many questions he get irritated and impatient. He recommended to redo 6 of my old fillings because he thinks that they were badly done. When I asked why, he stated to get irritated. I think that any patient should be able to ask as much question as he need to understand the doctor’s recommendation in order to make the right decision for himself. Dr. Michael Ansari’s attitude was very condescending on that day.
I give this business a 1 for bad customer service, and over charging.

Rude receptionist. Negative vibe. Screwed me over on my appointment by leaving a message in the AM cancelling for a 1PM appt and I didn’t get the message until just before the appt. They can cancel with short notice but you can’t. Outrageous receptionist attitude to boot. Apparently, they think it’s an honor to use their them despite all their bad reviews.
Heed all those bad reviews — your teeth will be with you for the rest of your life and these people aren’t competent.

Scam! Unfortunately, there are dentists out there that care about making money more than they care about their patients well being. They will deceive you by telling you need your teeth drilled, even if they are perfectly fine. Dr. Ansari is guilty of this unethical practice and should be thrown behind bars for being a crook. Do not EVER go here.
On a side note, the lady who works the front desk is a total bitch!

This is one of the worst experiences of my life. Horrible service from the front desk, to the cleaning work, to the billing process. They continue to recommend only things that are profitable for them NOT what is best for you. To reiterate a previous reviews, they are ONLY trying to make money.
A bunch of two bit crooks that I wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemies. To top it off, they are poor communicators that can’t even tell you what anything really costs and then come back later and ask for more money. Don’t even try to ask questions because they don’t return calls and only hit you with bills in the mail.
AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!

This is a hell for people who are seeking for dental help because they won’t help you AT ALL! The front desk ladies treated people like a piece of dirt. Never return the call and never really solve any issues. One of the girl will flirt with other patients and gave attitude to the people she is not «attract» to.
The dentist is even worse. No personality, no service. The got busines is because HMO insurnace, people have no choice to chose a good doctor.
