Simply an amazing experience for my daughter. The staff was so kind and helpful. Dr.Saher was very knowledgable and personable. Not only was my daughter happy with Dr.Saher she now expresses at the dinner table how she has a new role model and wants to grow up to be a debris like Dr..Saher.

Thanks for the great visit this morning, Dr. Saher. My 17 year old son has seen you for the past few years and always looks forward to his visits. I brought in my 4 year old daughter for the first time and she was quite scared but that changed very quickly. Your bedside manner and attention to detail will keep me coming back to get the care my children need.

Dr.Saher was very professional and helpful. She was able to make an uncomfortable situation for my son into the best scenario considering the circumstances. She took the time to arrange a Root Canal specialist to come to her practice and do the procedure on my son before she did her end of things. This saved our family time to have to make an appointment and go to get his Root Canal done and then have to come back to Dr.Saher's office. I am sure she could have had other patients of her own instead of allowing a Root Canal specialist to use her office. This gesture shows the character that Dr.Saher displays. She is caring coupled with expertise. My son dislikes going to the Dentist so the time she saved him is appreciated by him as well. I would highly recommend Dr.Saher and will defiantly use her services again if needed.

I will never take my son to this awful dentist again. Never. I guess i should have read the reviews on this site before taking my son to this weird and wacky place. As other reviewers noted i too was told that my son had several cavities and needed black crowns to cover up each tooth. Huh? That freaked me out to. My son was only 4 at the time she says he needs crowns? What the...? Please. This lady blatantly lied to my face to try to make thousands of $$ of my son. Disgusting. She tried to scare me with stories of how his teeth will rot and he'll have to get them extracted blah blah blah. What an unprofessional office . Very pushy staff too (smh). Seems like everyone there is a two-face thief. Not happy at all.

Absolutely the worst doctor that I ever seen my life. My son fell out from sofa a dozen days ago. Both front upper tooth turned grey and a little bit loose too. My own dentist referred us to Dr. Saher and unfortunately we did not check her review before we went. She was really nice with the kid and spent a lot time talking with us too. But that is not the point. She want to pull both his tooth so bad. Quote her words"I will bet my money on the table that his tooth are gonna be infected in the near future". After the X-ray, she found a suspected cavity in my son's tooth. So she strongly recommended and almost demanded a general anesthesia just to pull his both tooth and fix the cavity. Guess what, 2200+ bills for that. We don't trust her so luckily we went to see another dentist. Yes, the dentist just checked again and recommend us do nothing for now but keep an eye on him. Don't be fooled by her seemed friendly attitude, she just want to suck you money without caring your kid.

I personally find Dr. Saher to be an awful dentist. That’s my opinion. From my experience, she only cares about selling the most expensive and non-necessary "treatment" plans or whatever she calls it. I have always taken great care of my daughters teeth by brushing them at least twice a day along with flossing. I'm also very strict with her diet as far as junk and sugary foods are concerned. In fact I've received many compliments from other people on how great my daughters teeth look as they are nearly spotless. It's been almost two years since I took my daughter to Dr. Saher's office where she tried to sucker me in for something like 4K worth of dental work that was COMPLETELY NOT NECESSARY. My daughter’s seen another dentist twice since then and guess what? ZERO CAVITIES! Not a single one! I'm still upset every time I think about how Dr. Saher tried to lure me in. What was it, Dr Saher… 6, 8 cavities? Whatever. I feel bad for other parents who probably got duped. BEWARE.

Dr saher is a wonderful dentist. She is very thorough in explaining the diagnosis and the treatment necessary. The assistants also go over the treatment and fees prior to anything being done. Dr saher and her staff are so kind and patient with not only my child but all the children. Our previous dentist was not able to get X-rays or barely a look, dr saher and her staff must have a lot of tricks because my son had no issues. I understand why they ask the parents to stay out of the treatment room, they are trying to get the work done as quickly as possible without distractions for the children. I feel the fees are fair for this office, we have to remember she is a specialist and has completed more school than a regular dentist. My child is not special needs, this office is for all children. They are not always running on time but that is only expected when treating children. I would highly recommend dr saher!

Terrible experience. First, Saher’s hygienist did a very lousy job cleaning my toddler's teeth. And I mean LOUSY. She put little effort in scraping the plaque off during her 6 or 7 minutes of work. During that time, Dr. Saher approached me and said my kid has 8 cavities and needs 8 black caps to cover each tooth for a total cost of more than $5,000! She tried to assure me that it’s not about the money, which assured me that it’s ALL about the money. I told her I’ve not seen kids with black caps on their teeth. She said all of her patients have caps on their teeth! I told myself to get the heck out and never come back again. What a waste of almost $400! I ended up taking my kid elsewhere for a clean and for a second opinion. Hygienist there did a much better job. Also, turns out my child only needed 3 fillings! I would not recommend this doctor to my worst enemy. She may sound nice and refer to your child as “sweetie” and “honey” but treats them like lab rats as far as I can tell.

I have to say this office has really impressed me. Dr. Saher is wonderful. She is very precise and complete in her diagnoses. And she seems to have such a genuine love for the children and her office. Dr. Saher's assistants are very helpful and kind to the children. The other positive that really stuck out to me about the office was her receptionist Paula. Paula has been kind to our family since the moment we first called the office. She really takes steps to go above and beyond, to make your visits as easy as possible. All the times I have been in the office, she has been pleasant, happy and helpful. And I notice that this is not just to me, but to the other staff and patients. Our family is very happy that we made the move to Dental Care for Children!!!
