Del Mar Laser Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

My two children love coming here (and we do too)! Dr Sharafi is kind, professional, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. She makes sure that both the kids and parents are comfortable and always explains procedures completely well. We have been blessed with such a dentist. Everyone should come here!

Dr. Soudabeh Sharafi is amazing. She has fixed my front tooth to look PERFECT after having a chip in it. Also, my 2 year old daughter went to her for her first dental checkup and she did amazing! She is so kind, honest and very resourceful. Highly recommend!!

If I could give this Dr. ZERO stars, I absolutely would. My son needed an emergency appointment, she made the appt for 48 hours later (which was fine) - however when we got there she said "I have to get authorization from your insurance to do x-rays or an exam", even though that is not even allowed in CA for dental insurance and he was in awful pain. Without even having an x-ray she wanted to make us wait 3 weeks for an anesthesiologist, then all of a sudden had one available the following Monday and required a $500 deposit. Which of course I paid, as I need to help my toddler. I called my insurance later that day to ensure everything was covered and I get a call the following day from her telling me my insurance wasn't effective, wouldn't be covered, and I would need to pay everything out of pocket. She said she would refund me the depot the following Monday since I had told her I would find another dentist who did understand my insurance and is now refusing to refund the full $500. Any dentist quick to put a toddler under without an exam, x-rays should not have a license. That is scary! Beware of this office.

I wish I saw the reviews before I went here.  My insurance changed and my options were limited.  When the dentist/doctor was cleaning my teeth (weird as typically there is a dental hygenist), she kept dipping her hand that had gloves on into this anti-bacterial soap so when she would put them in my mouth to clean, floss and check my teeth, there was a horrific taste of anti-bacterial soap and I kept telling her this but she didn't stop.  I should have run out.   Also, when she made suggestions to me and I asked her to point them out to me on my teeth, she stated "I can't as I don't have a special camera for that". She kept trying to upsell me on things but couldn't show me to explain why.  This office was dark, depressing and there was nobody else there. When I tried to get my records it was a month long process and their system was not working and I don't recommend this place on any level. :(  I am going back to my favorite dentist who doesn't take my insurance, I would rather pay than have a free service at this facility.
