So, I'm one of those people that have to spend a lot of time with dentists. I was born with no enamel on any of my teeth, so over the years I've been in many dentists chairs, and I've learned to tell who the keepers are. Dr. Ghafari is keeper. She excels at communicating with her patients, and making the best of a situation when people come to her in pain, etc. She has a very clean office, an good staff, and the latest equipment. Additionally, she will not hesitate to recommend a specialist dentist if it needed. We've been in that position a few times and everyone she's recommended has been the best at what they do. I can honestly say that if you are looking for a well round person and dentist, then you should go see Dr. Ghafari!

Dr. Ghafari has been our dentist almost from the day she opened her practice next door to my wife's office and we've found her skills and knowledge superior to every other dentist we've used over the past 70 years. I've had many different procedures done by her, root canals, extractions, crowns, bridges, fillings and many cleanings. All were done very well with virtually no pain and with great success. She's the best and has become a good friend to my wife and me. Wonderful chair-side manners and great empathy.
