Dr Shaheedy is very patient and kind but after being forgotten in the waiting room by the staff for an hour, we will not be coming back. We arrived at 5:00 for our 16 month olds first visit and our 2 year olds routine check up. Our 2 year old was taken back to a room around 5:20 but we were told it was a mistake and another patient was ahead of us. We went back to the waiting room. They finally called my husband to take our 16 month old back around 5:40. My husband came out with her around 5:55 and asked how much longer it would be for our 2 year old to be seen. They explained there was a miscommunication and they had it noted he was already seen and it would be another 5-10 minutes for the dr to be available. I am not sure how forgetting a patient is labeled as miscommunication, especially when the receptionist had plenty of time to chit chat and explain to another mom how she never lets herself get angry, because Botox is too expensive and she only makes so much money. I wonder how much longer they would have had us sitting there if my husband didn’t ask for an update.

My 4 year old daughter needed a few cavities filled and would not sit in a dental chair without a fight. She has major anxiety during all doctor and dentist appointments. Due to my daughter’s temperament, other pediatric dentist offices wanted to do IV sedation only. I am not a fan of IV sedation for dental procedures.I read many reviews and asked around for pediatric dentist recommendations and found Dr. Shaheedy. This dental office does not just recommend IV sedation. They also offer twilight (oral sedation) sedation. I decided to give it a try!During our initial consult appointment, Dr. Shaheedy was great with my daughter. She was very patient and understanding about my daughter’s needs. My daughter left the consult appointment happy and loving the dentist!Fast forward to today... My daughter just had her cavities filled with NO IV sedation and no issues. Twilight sedation did the trick! Not only do I feel like twilight sedation is safer than IV sedation, it is also significantly cheaper. Win-win.Additionally, Dr. Shaheedy did NOT try and up sell me. Her treatment plan was legitimate and nothing extra was added. I had a few other dentists review the plan before our appointment. I am so happy that such an experienced dentist takes our dental insurance!UPDATE - Shortly after the fillings were completed they got loose and bacteria got inside. We switched to PPO and a different dentist needed to redo everything. My daughter’s case was tricky and I should have been referred to UCLA for full anesthesia in an operating room which is where she ended up.

We have used the dentist for two years and started with the orthodontist five months ago. The assisting staff is as helpful as the Doctors. Our daughter had a few cavities, and had to have a few teeth pulled. She’s very sensitive and they do their best in making it less stressful for her. We truly appreciate them!

As always awesome service! I honestly dont know what I would do with out this dentist! They are always so nice, especially the Doctor herself! She is extremely understanding and sweet! She is super patient. This is the third visit for 2 year old and honestly she does a great job working with him. We all know toddlers are scared and this dentist rocks! My baby had some iron staining and she removed it, which I never thought was possible. I just want to let you all know, if youre looking for a dentist for your kids look no further. I also bring my 9yr old here. I do not regret ever coming here, I recommend this place. And they have a really great play area for kids when they are waiting. Im glad I found this place, not far from my home. Thank you so much for everything :)

Dr. Shaheedy is great! My son suffers from severe anxiety, and a trip to the dentist is always a trigger. Even though the visits are tough on my son, she does a great job talking him through the process and trying to address his concerns. Shes incredibly patient and understanding.

Dr. Shaheedy is an angel dentist! My son has an extreme fear of the dentist and she is the most patient, understanding and kind woman. She lets him talk for at least 20 to 30 minutes and still gets the work done while hes asking her to explain more. To top it off her work is fantastic and we are so grateful to have her as our doctor.

We took our kids here for the first time and couldn’t be happier. The entire staff were kind to the point that even my 5 year old noticed and said “mommy they were so nice”. My 15 months old first dental appointment was a success. Thank you all for such a pleasant experience.

Dr. Mae Aghili. OMG what can I say. She was super amazing. Super helpful. Extremely knowledgeable. She went out of her way to do whatever she can to help her patients. She literally brought the smile to my face & made me feel very comfortable. Especially when she turned on (the minions) movie. Jk. 😝🙃JK Thank you Doc 🤝✝️❤️ thank you so much for the helpful staff as well.

Honestly, nursing my son at night is the worst thing I’ve ever done to another human being. It provided him comfort in the moment but he developed a lot of tooth decay as a result. I took him to Dr. Shaheedy and she performed all the necessary procedures, including an extraction. I know it was the most traumatic thing my son has ever experienced and it was an extremely low moment for me as a mother, but the staff was kind and Dr. Shaheedy did a wonderful job. She was extremely reassuring and efficient. His teeth look lovely. She and her staff made this experience significantly less painful than I had feared. What they do there is truly public service.

THIS REVIEW IS FROM A REAL KID AND IS A REAL ENDORSEMENT. Im usually very frightened when it comes to going to the dentist. In Dr. Shaheedys office, I have always been at ease. As soon as I go in her office, with the train, games and aquarium, I really feel comfortable. Over the years, she has always treated me pretty well. Also, my dad totally loves her, but hes married, so she has no chance.
