Avalon Dental Center Assembly Square

I wouldnt go to this place if you are trying to get a crown, teeth pulled out, or just being able to smile with confidence. The main dentist is not a man of his word. If you need something to be fixed, he will only fix 80% of it. Nothing is guaranteed with him, its more of a trial and error with him. I wouldnt trust him to do any procedures

Dr. Shadi is the BEST DENTIST ever! Knowledgeable and professional, he doesn’t make you question the quality of work that is being done in your mouth! My anxiety levels immediately depleted the moment I got to know him. I truly trust him, and he does have a certain way about him that cuts to the chase but at the same time makes you feel so calm and so confident in him. I cannot say enough good things about this dentist. I had TONS of work done. All very stressful and not fun - But Avalon made it all worth it. Honestly the whole team, including the other dentists, the hygienists, as well as receptionists, etc - are wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable! Don’t go anywhere else!!

I had a strange and terrible dental experience here, and think that I was being scammed. I went in for a check up and x-rays, and the entire appointment took over 2 hours. I was criticized for not having been to the dentist in ~2 years, and told that I would need a lot of work done. At the end of the exam, Dr. Elmekkawi told me that I would need 9 fillings and that I needed to get them done ASAP. He did not even go over my x-rays with me, but took other photos of my teeth and said that the small pits/scrapes were cavities that need to be filled now. I have since gotten a second and third opinion from 2 other dentists who said that I don't have any cavities. At the end of my appointment I was made to sit in a room with the customer service person, Mr. Orfir, for ~30 minutes to go over the costs of my future dental work. I had to sign a piece of paper before I left saying that I would commit to this work, and promise them that I would be back. The whole experience was very strange, I felt very pressured by them, and I have been to a variety of dentists. I am sure that they just wanted to bill as much as possible, especially because this is a new office location. I would not recommend this office to anyone.

The WORST dental experience I have ever had. I do not recommend that anyone go here. I made an appointment for a dental cleaning and check-up and was treated horribly. The assistant who took my x-rays had to redo them twice because she could not correctly angle the tool used to take the x-rays. I think she was still learning, which is fine and I would normally let this go, however this just added to the horrible experience. The doctor came in and I told him honestly that I had not been to the dentist in two years due to moving around and other reasons, but I have never had any issues with my teeth. He told me that this was bad and I probably will need to have work done because of this. He cleaned my teeth and it was incredibly painful. He took no notice that he made my gums bleed excessively. After examination he proceeded to tell me that I need two crowns and three fillings immediately and the receptionist instantly came over and told me to book as soon as possible and said that everything would cost over $3000, but not to worry because my insurance would cover most of it and I still had to pay $1500 by Monday. I knew this was sketchy and I left. I immediately called a different dentist for a second opinion. When I called the office to get my records and x rays they were less than helpful and I still have not received my records despite calling and emailing them for weeks. The other dentist could see nothing wrong with my teeth and said that the dentist I went to here was just looking for money. DO NOT go here. There are better dentists elsewhere who are not looking to make a profit off of you.
