This is someone who has that rare combination of super expert knowledge, real common sense and genuine good will that gives you the precise help you need and solves your problem without imposing a bankruptcy proceeding. Thank You!

Quite an excellent experience. I had a tooth that was so painful that I couldn't easily figure out which one was the culprit. I found Dr. Safaian to be thorough, and very communicative during the procedure. Would recommend without hesitation.

I would never recommend that anyone go to this woman. I had to wait 10 min for her to even enter the room, meanwhile I could hear her chatting with the hygienist while I waited. She didn’t introduce herself, nor did she act as though she had any info about why I had been referred to see her. She didn’t even know which tooth needed the root canal, despite the fact that she had my X-rays in front of her. Finally, the chair had grass on it, and there were lots of cobwebs in the corners of the room. Dirty, rude, and unprofessional. She took an additional X-ray, then asked me what tooth it was... so I stood up and told her I did not feel comfortable with her and was appalled with her lack of professionalism. Her response was “okay” with a smirk. This leads me to believe that this is probably a common occurrence.

She came into my appointment 10 minutes late to check on a root canal causing sever pain, then immediately began berating me in a very aggressive tone, accusing me of being “stupid” and causing my own problems, which she continued to insinuate during her long tirade, even before I could tell her how painful it was. As her tirade continued I realized her aggression toward me was aimed at circumventing anything I might have to say about the gaping hole she'd left in my tooth she'd worked on.

She knew I was very fearful, and did her best to ease my fears. However after a very difficult time getting me numb during the first half of the procedure, you would think she would have prepared for that during the 2nd. Instead, when I continued to feel the deep root pain during the procedure she literally ripped the face shield off my face and stated, "I can't help you, you had better hope you never become seriously ill, you wont survive!" Months later, I need to have the work redone. terrible

She is very skilled and very caring. A year after my first root canal treatment pain began in the same tooth. She went out of her way to figure out what the problem was, including referring me to UCONN, setting aside her ego. In the end it wasn't a root canal issue, rather a crown issue. I'm quite sure that her efforts preserved my tooth...most dentists would have extracted it. Dr. Safaian is a very special physician.
