I have NEGATIVE emotions about Dr. F. Hakim. I was going there regularly for years. Ultimately I had to leave Dr. Hakim's practice because I lost trust in him and his staff. I felt like pushed to have non-urgent procedures done sooner instead of waiting for the next calendar year when insurance would pick it up. Barbara, the front desk office is rude old lady (I think 61 years?) so rude that you wanne smack her face. She is so pushy to collect the co-payment as if this is the last time you ever come to this office. Once she made billing mistake and I brought it to her attention, she was so LAZY to do any extra work to write me a check, started telling me excuse after excuse, until Dr Hakim had to get involve to resolve this issue. She looks like mad at all time, don't know why. Hakim should hire a young energetic kind person, friendly, get rid of Barbara.

About Hygienist: Avoid tooth cleaning from this office. Don't know why, but tooth cleaner lady always changes, every time I went there. I think the very last few times, the hygienist, Valerie/Naheed (I think), last a little bit longer there.. She was an older white lady (maybe same age as Barbara early 60-ish year.. not sure), NEVER smile or the smile is so fake only the mouth smile, not eyes or the rest of the face. She has hair loss, once her hair fell in my mouth while she was cleaning. Yuk! One time, She created several problems in my mouth... After the tooth cleaning, most of my tooth was in pain... I ended up doing three fillings, two desensitizer on couple teeth... in Dr Hakim's office and two root canal (other Endo) but did the crown in Dr Hakim. All of this right after a tooth cleaning. After about 3 month, I felt like ripped off cause it cost my insurance and out of pocket about $7,500... I do my regular cleaning, not sure why this time my mouth, had so problems... This was the beginning of losing faith at this office.

I know this doctor: 2009
