Berwyn Dental Clinic

"I was being seen by my original dentist for over 15 years and have only had 2 cavities in my lifetime. She recently retired and I was on Medicaid and needed a new dentist. Due to being in school I hadn’t had a cleaning in over a year and found this place and it had great reviews so I decided to give it a try. The front staff was very polite. I had X-rays done and upon examining my teeth Dr. Askar said I had 7 cavities. I thought that was odd and said I’ve never had cavities like that before and I don’t have any pain. He then told me that they are shallow and that’s why I don’t feel pain. So I decided to trust his opinion cause he’s the dentist and all professionals in the healthcare field take oaths. So I asked when signing the paper if he could write down which teeth he would be working on before I sign. He said “well I don’t know which ones I’ll be working on. I might see more cavities while filling in the others.” That was a red flag and instead of trusting my gut I agreed. He worked on the 7 teeth and then “cleaned” my teeth but barely did anything and didn’t buffer or floss, literally the bare minimum to the point when I left my teeth didn’t feel clean. I return home and try to clean my teeth and couldn’t get the floss between the teeth he worked on. I return to the practice in which Dr. Askar was very rude and didn’t take accountability for doing a poor job with the fill-ins and kept saying things like “where is the problem I don’t see it” and “that wasn’t my work but I can fix it for you”. He didn’t apologize not once. And mind you prior to this appointment I’ve never had troubles flossing my teeth or any teeth issues in general. I then told him I feel he did a poor job of cleaning my teeth and didn’t even polish them and both him and the dental hygienist said “oh that’s only for kids”. I’ve spoken to multiple dentists since then who have confirmed that this isn’t true. Ever since he worked on my teeth I’ve been having issues with pain with eating and sensitivity. A couple weeks later I went back and asked to be seen by Dr. Dawoud. He was very nice and apologized on his employee’s behalf and tried to reassure me but by this point the damage was done. And even with Dr. Dawoud adjusting some of the fill-ins I still had issues. So I had to go to another dentist and pay out of pocket. Come to find out, the main tooth that was causing me pain, a cavity formed under the fill-in Dr. Askar did. Again, never had any problems with my teeth prior to Dr. Askar working on them. I had to pay out of pocket for that tooth to get redone. I would highly suggest going somewhere else if possible. And just a note to anyone looking for a dentist or going to a new dental office, if they tell you you have all these cavities or need work done and you’ve never had cavities or oral issues in your life and have no pain and overall good oral hygiene, run and get a second opinion elsewhere."

"Professional and welcoming staff. I loved my teeth cleaning this was the best I had in a long while."

"I came in with a very infected abscess. I had to have an extraction. Dr. Askar was awesome. He got the tooth out with almost no pain. Love this office. Highly recommend"

"Dr. Dawoud is great and works fast. He's done 2 root canals, one filling and an extraction so far. Every time I go in him and his staff are welcoming and very accommodating. Appointments are always available for a week out it seems so that's even better. Fair pricing for the work done. I couldn't recommend him more."

"Amazing experience. DR. Dawoud is Very knowledgeable and kind. He understood that i was in pain and deal with me in a very professional way. i left the clinic with no more pain. so happy to find a perfect dental office with a professional DR like DR. dawoud. Also the clinic is so clean and the staff is so friendly. highly recommend."
