In my experience, the office and Dr. Hamidy is extremely polite, punctual, and thorough. I truly appreciate the time and effort he made to show, explain, and justify any and all work that needed to be done. Overall, I have confidence in him and his work, and I am glad that I chose this dentist (and office).

BEWARE. Years after seeking care from Dr. Hamidy, I'm still paying for the damage he's done. Two dentists refused to treat me and instead referred me back to this clown to fix the blatant mistakes he made (root canal and crown). Dr. Hamidy's response was to return to the clinic for multiple visits.no apology and no accountability as the care would be on my dime. This is the type of dentist you should beware of. Predatory and ineffective at his profession.

I have always had bad experiences with dentists, mainly from lack of trust. For this reason, I had not been to a dentist in over two years. Naturally, my mouth had became a myriad of cavities in this time-- which Dr. Hamidy physically pointed out to me. He worked closely with me to ensure that I understood why and how my mouth was to undergo reparations. Never have I trusted a dentist so much. Thank you Dr. Hamidy and staff!

BEWARE** This doctor should be ashamed of himself. I went in for a routine cleaning last summer and he told me I had 5 cavities and needed a crown totaling upwards of 5k. I didn't have the money at the time so I didn't go through with it. They emailed, called, texted and sent mail consistently trying to get me to come back. Well we're a navy family and moved back east and I went to a dentist here to finally get them all filled and he said there were NO cavities.
My mouth is completely healthy. This guy is legit scamming people and drilling into perfectly healthy teeth for a buck. It's so unethical and wrong that I'm reporting them to the better business bureau.

It seems like I have a similar story to a lot of other reviews here. While Dr. Hamidy was extremely kind and helpful in answering all of my questions- he unfortunately went on to tell me I need what was going to be almost ~$10,000 of dental work for multiple crowns for cracked fillings, 10+ cavities, deep cleanings and he was also very pushy about Invisalign and/or retainers. As a student, this is obviously way out of my price range and I was taken back by all the problems since I've never had any before.
I decided to get a second opinion from my long time dentist back home and I was told none of that was necessary and that I had 0 cavities. I don't want to believe that this misinformation was intentional, perhaps just a misread of the X-rays and pictures he took, but I would be wary if you ever come here.
