He is the WORST dentist in State College. He doesn't answer questions and is extremely rude. Just this week after going to a new dentist he found I have 8 cavities, I need 3 root canals and every cap Assadinia did needs replaced. My two children have 18 cavities between the two of them. I will be spending a fortune to have our teeth fixed properly. DO NOT go to this man. I am reporting him to the dental board and I want to sue.

He is an excellent dentist. I have done root canal, cleaning, crown at his clinic and all work pretty well. Once I had a very fragile tooth and he saved it. He cares about the financial concern of patients and the charge is reasonable. There is a special room for kids, which is nice as well. To be honest, I don't quite understand why he is not in the Nittany Dental Network this year and why some comments on him are so negative. He is a sincere man in addition to a good doctor.

The work Dr. Assadinia did on my tooth must all be redone. In addition, he charged my insurance for a procedure he did not perform. He lied repeatedly to me about the procedure he actually did perform (telling me he did one thing, when he actually did something quite different and unacceptable). He did my "cleaning" himself, and it took 3 appointments, each about 5 minutes. He is very high pressure, and will contact you himself if he thinks you may be reluctant to return for further treatment. He insists upon weekly checkups and office visits that will cause you to miss work for no reason whatsoever. He is able to be on time for appointments because no patient gets more than 15 minutes from him and most get 5.

STAY AWAY!!! This guy will drill every one of your teeth if you let him. He is very nice, but extremely corrupt. He is acutely aware of the limits of your insurance, and he will make sure he does everything your insurance allows. I went in for a toothache, four fillings and one year later, the tooth still hurts, and three of the fillings have cracked and need to be replaced, but not by this crook!

It took two visits for a cleaning...the first visit for the actual cleaning and the second trip just for polishing. After three visits Assidinia was still talking about the "Plan" he was going to submit to my insurance. I never did know what the plan was for especially since I didn't have a problem. My biggest issue was with cleanliness. It seemed that everyone bit down on the same plastic mouthpiece on the panorma x-ray machine without a disposable sanitary cover. I also had to get up and walk over to the sink to rinse my mouth with water that was already sitting in some cup. This guy should be inspected.

I think we all need to do something about what is going on in this office. I have absolutley had it with this dentist. Returning every week for things that take 5 minutes, x-rays at every visit for the same problem...etc. This has to be some sort of insurance fraud. You have to file a claim with PA Dental board and can do so on-line. I spoke with my insurance co. and there is nothing they can do unless you file a claim. Save your invoices and file a claim!!!

he is a crook...and doesn't change his gloves between his patients (shakes people's hands with the glove on and then goes in your mouth with that same glove)...he makes you come back several times for something that should take one visit (even a routine cleaning) just to collect on the insurance...DON'T GO..he doesn't deserve your money

BEWARE! This dentist lied about the insurance.He does not participate with my plan @ all. I call my insurance and had verified this. I have gone to another dentist and now I need my fillings redone! Am very upset! The staff was friendly but the denist a jerk!

Do not go to Dr. Assadinia. He is a fraud. I went to him for YEARS, and even recommended him to others because he is very personable - but after becoming suspicious about the way he kept making my husband return for work on his teeth every 2 weeks - we decided to try another dentist for a second opinion. The new dentist found that we BOTH had several cavities (4 or 5 EACH), and several fillings done by Dr. Assadinia had to be redone. The cavities were not small either..one of mine, the new dentist was worried about having to do a root canal - how could Assadinia not see this? Assadinia also botched a root canal and crown on my husband and now he has to have surgery to get an implant. I have gone to the dentist every 6 months for routine check-ups my entire life - 10 years to Dr. Assadinia - and this is what happened to me. Beware! We know several other people who have had the exact same experience. Seems like insurance fraud to me.

I just saw this dentist today and am sorry I ever went. I wish I'd seen these reviews before; I would have cancelled the appt. He rushed through cleaning my teeth and wanted to take an x-ray; told me I had "enamel erosion" (which I strongly doubt) and he wants to "check me in a couple weeks." I made another appt. but will cancel it because I felt very suspicious and I don't intend to go back. I think a lot of fraud is going on here.
