Anahita Montaser, DDS

I really enjoy my visits to Dr. Montaser’s office. Her staff is extremely courteous and professional. I appreciate being seen right away, and my exams are very thorough. Dr. Montaser ONLY recommends procedures that she feels are absolutely necessary. She and office staff explain costs upfront before any decision is made to ensure if I am in agreement. Totally appreciate this. I really like Dr. Montaser’s professionalism and expertise. I see our whole family visiting her practice in the years to come.

Dr. Montaser has been my dentist for about 7 years now and I am happy with the quality of service. She is friendly and professional, and all of her assistants are as well.
Since I started coming here, my teeth and gums have improved quite a bit. They teach you the proper techniques for cleaning hard to reach and overlooked areas. Overall, the treatment I have received here emphasizes prevention of plaque buildup more than anything else.
For bigger problems like fillings, crowns, and tissue grafts, Dr. Montaser’s treatment recommendations have been conservative and helpful in preserving my teeth. I feel I am in good hands, whether it’s for a cleaning or more serious procedures.

I have moved around a lot in the past ten years and since leaving my childhood dentist I’ve had troubles finding another dentist that I really trusted. After some serious misses around the Anaheim area I was referred here by a co-​worker and have been happily going here for the past three years. Like the other reviewer I have an HMO insurance plan too. But, I’ve never felt ripped off or been asked to pay for irrelevant work. I always been happy with both her and her very friendly staff who are always willing to work around my crazy busy schedule. I think I’ll be going here for quite a while.

While Dr. Anahita Montaser was nice, the diagnosis I received was a complete rip-​off!!! I used to have HMO coverage because I believed that would save me some money. Dr. Montaser recommended an extreme cleaning procedure that would cost me $ 45 per quadrant on top of what the insurance was already paying her. On top of that, she recommended a barrage of other superfluous «necessary» treatments because I had «pretty bad teeth» for someone my age. I was shocked since I take pretty good care of my teeth, and have not had any major problems before, but I believed her and trusted her since she is the professional not me. All in all, the total bill for the all the procedures was estimated to be $ 1480!!! Since the charges were so high, I decided to check with another professional, my mother (a practicing dentist), who did an exam and x-​rays and found there to be nothing more than a few cavities. I think it rather abhorrent to take advantage of your patients’ trust just to make a few (thousand) bucks. The trust of your patients is PRICELESS, and there should be no amount of money that should entice you to abuse it. I have since switched to a PPO because of my experience here, and have found a GREAT dentist in Anaheim since. My new dentist concurred with my mother’s diagnosis (by the way, she had no idea that she was actually the third opinion I was getting). She did an exam, x-​rays, and REGULAR cleaning (because that was all I needed), which was all covered… she even complimented me on the health of my teeth. I love my new dentist (which is probably the only thing that I can thank Dr. Montaser for), I KNOW I can trust her, she is nice, gentle and caring, and I look forward to a LONG relationship with her… I have referred friends and family already, and would be happy to refer her to anyone. YOU SHOULD HAVE A DENTIST YOU CAN TRUST. PLEASE DO NOT GO TO DR. MONTASER (ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE AN HMO) UNLESS YOU ENJOY BEING SCAMMED.
