Dr. Shariat herself was willing to talk at length about my dental health, and seemed to be very perceptive about details on my x-rays and past treatment. The office staff was extremely helpful, however, the person who completed the tooth polishing before I saw the dentist seemed insensitive to pain. However, Dr. Shariat does the detailed cleaning herself, which is nice and unusual. Despite that Dr. Shariat seems quite good after my first visit, I have one main problem with their office: Because my insurance is Blue Cross and the deep cleanings and fillings I need are covered for free (I found out from the office staff that the dentist will not be reimbursed from the insurance company), Dr. Shariat tells me I need an additional $520 of work that I'd need to pay out of my pocket that is not entirely necessary: the cosmetic "white' fillings rather than silver, and a special "medicine" after the deep cleaning. she also said if I don't get the "white" fillings, she may have to remove more of my tooth and I may need a crown. Seems she has a bad deal with the insurance and wants to be paid by charging extra services.
