Today Dr Sahafi posted a response saying the first consult was free. Here is the false receipt she made up for my credit card. There is no mention of any free consult. There was no house call. She did call because she could not prescribe the medication my son's doctors approved. They told me not to give James the medication that Dr Sahafi prescribed. It is illegal and unprofessional to charge for a phone call without telling the patient there will be a charge.
I was never informed that there would be a consultation fee. The consultation itself was very unprofessional and both Dr Sahafi and Dr Wright said they did not NEED to hear the opinion of Dr Perry who did the dental scan. They were both only interested in their own snap decisions and wanted James to have the procedure in an undisclosed office, not in the hospital. They do not have hospital privileges but unlike other doctors who said James must have the work done in hospital, they were willing to risk his life to get $107,689.00. Our Care Credit dental credit card limit is $15,000. The consult was like getting mowed down. It was not a real consult. Dr Sahafi behaved like a bully.

I am a loyal customer of Dover Dental since 2017. I've waited until now to write my review. Why? Because I expected some procedure to go wrong. I based this belief on my past experiences with other dentists. I am proud to say that nothing has ever gone wrong. Every experience at Dover Dental has been positive, relaxing and even enjoyable thanks to Dr. Sahafi, Diane, Janelle & Brenda. Many years ago, I shopped around for the best deal regarding the cost of dental services. Don't waste your valuable time or money making that same mistake. Dover Dental offers insurance in-house.
Their cost for insurance is slightly less then that of some other dental policies. They worked with me on my payments during the pandemic and continue to do so. I highly recommend trying Dover Dental, especially if you have any fear of the dentist. Fear no more. These ladies know exactly how to make you feel relaxed and the quality of work is amazing. I look forward to my appointments every time.

The best Dentist and staff in Orange County hands down! I was interested in Porcelain Crowns as well replacing some old fillings in my mouth. I heard good things about Dr. Kate Sahafi and her attention to detail. She did an outstanding job giving me 6 porcelain crowns on my front teeth using only the best materials and labs. She is painless and friendly and very professional. She's worked on a few celebrities teeth and now I know why she has such a great reputation. I have a beautiful smile thanks to Dover dental.

Dr. Sahafi is an exceptional dentist. I have had many many dentists throughout my life and she is truly among the best. She is very knowledgeable and uses state of the art dental equipment that makes the entire experience more enjoyable than I would have ever imagine at a dentist. She and her staff, especially the ladies that handle the front desk and reception are superb in customer service. I was lost in finding their office and they went above and beyond to assist me.
Despite being late to the appointment, Dr. Sahafi and her staff made me feel welcomed and comforted. If you are looking for a dentist that you can trust, that provides exceptional dental service, that is honest, with integrity and an amazing team that provides exceptional service, then Dr. Sahafi and her team is where you should go! Thank you ladies so much! (Shahla A.)

I Love this office and I think Dr. Sahafi is terrific! Dr. Sahafi did some cosmetic work for me in 2008, 13 years ago and the work looked amazing then and still does. The type of work that I had done sometimes deteriorates over time but mine has not! I get nothing but compliments on my smile. Recently I had some work done for my son by another dentist and while we are generally happy with the work there is a problem and we wanted a second opinion. Dr. Sahafi graciously provided a second opinion consultation and advised us on how to proceed. I have learned my lesson and will only be using Dr. Sahafi for our families future dental work!
