5 stars Monika W Featured review
I had an excellent experience getting a couple of cavities filled. I know it sounds far fetched, but it was great. Dr. Farah makes it easy for a person who is afraid of needles to cope with the process of fillings. She offers headsets so that you can enjoy music rather than the sounds of drilling. She gives you a good tasting topical anesthetic so that when she uses the novacaine you don't feel the "little pinch." Best of all when she prepares to give you the injection, she gives your mouth a little jiggle so that you can't feel the needle at all! She's so thorough and the atmosphere is soothing and pleasant. Even getting fillings is a great experience.

I've been seeing Dr. Farah for at least 5 years now and can't remember when I've been happier with my teeth. I'm about to come the end on my Invisalign treatment thanks to Dr. Farah's suggestion and couldn't be happier. I was afraid to even think about Invisalign because of the costs. But they helped me get financing with out interest and hassle.
I was one of those patients in the past that continually cancelled on my other dentists because I was either uncomfortable or just intimidated.
The staff is professional, friendly and the office is clean. Dr. Farah is as gentle as she is talented. So I thank the staff at Gentle Dental Care and encourage anyone who has issues with dentists as I did, give them a try.

I abhor going to the dentist due to sensitive teeth but eventually you gotta go. I had a set of xrays, exam, cleaning, and whitening. The xray machine was cool because I could see the picture right there. Exam and cleaning just about painless. The whitening provided me the best result I've had to date. Yeah, my teeth did hurt for about 12 hours but the difference was noticeable. I also need to get some follow up work done to some fillings and appreciated not being given a guilt trip or hard sell to get this scheduled.

Dr. Farah as been my dentist for the past 7 years and I could not be happier with the experience. I do not pay attention to my teeth as much as I should and my penalty usually comes in the form of more cavities and deep cleaning than the norm. When I started with Dr. Farah we established a long-term treatment plan that addressed my neglect and brought back my smile!
Dr. Farah is straightforward but very gentle and reassuring. The review title come from my observation that when cleaning my teeth, Dr. Farah seems like she is painting a portrait - using small brushstrokes with the absolute lightest touch! We get through it all lightning fast - with minimal discomfort. I would (and have) recommended Dr. Farah to my friends and co-workers.
Thank you for your kind review.

The best dentist experience I have ever had in my life. Incredibly friendly and helpful reception staff. They are fast,informative, and do a great job.I can't ever remember walking out of a dentists office smiling.
Highly recommend Dr. Farah.
Thank you for your support and your wonderful compliment about our team and services.
4 stars Richard M Customer since 2011
I travelled more than ten thousand miles to visit Dr. Farah, twice within a year. If that seems unlikely, ask her.
She is more than a dentist, she is an artist, and she also has very pretty eyes. She should let me know the next time she is in Italy.
Thank you for your wonderful review and compliment. And thank you for entrusting us for your dental care, coming for visits from over seas.

As one of the "I hate going to the dentist" people - this was a great experience. They are professional, kind, and understanding that some people are non-dentist people. Dr. Farah took a lot of time to review charts and answer any questions that I had. I would recommend this place to family and friends.
