Dr. Ardavan Saidi, DMD

"Sofi Dental is outstanding! Drs. Saidi and Amini are remarkable together with Andreyna, “no pain” hygienist Barbara, and staff Jackie, and all are dedicated professionals. They care for you with joy and dedication. I strongly recommend them."

"Best dentist in Miami! I have had fear of dentist all my life, until I met Dr.Saidi. He is friendly, professional, explained all the procedures that were done to me in details, and extremely experienced and careful."

"1. It took Dr. Saidi three months to provide a denture. I was called in for measurements and choice of tooth color weeks after after that procedure was already done. The record must have been lost. Finally, the denture was slightly off, causing me to bite my lower lip if I am not careful, but he insisted it is perfect, so perhaps the misalignment could be the fault of the lower denture. I now have scars where I inadvertently bit my lip. 2. Dr. Saidi replaced a filling done by another dentist. He brought his mother in and complimented my handsome facial structure, then tried to sell me implants, and he was about to walk away so I had to beg for the filling, which took him 5 minutes to do. My copay was $0 nothing. His manager at the front desk was not even going to bill the insurance company until I reminded him I had insurance. 3. The filling lasted nearly two years then fell out. When I returned to his office during the 2020 virus lockdown, Dr. Saidi denied he had filled the tooth, said it had to have a crown (true, but I cannot afford it and it does hold my lower denture in place), and he refused to refill it, but I insisted it was an emergency, and he demanded I pay $105 in advance. Then he did the same exact procedure that he had done before, taking about 5 minutes of his own time to squirt water in it then pack it with filler, causing me to wonder why he did not clean out the cavity thoroughly. No pain killer was needed because it already had a root canal (therefore the need for a crown due to the destruction from that procedure performed by my previous dentist, who, unfortunately, does not take insurance because he believes it is a big hassle). I was the only patient in the office, yet he left me setting for an half-hour waiting for him to polish the tooth. The technician was afraid to disturb him, but finally did so. He had forgotten me, and came out and polished the tooth, for about a minute. I asked recently for a copy of the bill, but he did not respond. I called the insurance company and was told that he had billed it in a different manner so that it did not seem to be a "filling", therefore the co-pay of $105 for rebuilding the tooth, with such items not done like insertion of a pin, application of pain killer (he actually said during the procedure that none was necessary because the tooth was dead). I complained to Solstice of the probability of inappropriate billing. At first Solstice was unhelpful and kept referring me to United Health Care, saying Solstice only "manages" the claims, but when I objected because their management seemed to mean doing nothing, Solstice was cooperative in providing information, but was not interested in what appeared to be inappropriate billing, saying that was a grievance issue for United Health Care, 5. I remembered on my first visit that a woman was in the lobby screaming about the service, but I figured there will always be dissatisfied customers in that business, although I did recall when in New York I had an impacted tooth and the doctor kept pulling and pulling on it, and I was in a lot of pain, so I got out of the chair and went a block down the street to another dentist, and right before that happened a patient next to me kept yelling in pain and asking for more whisky, so I should have taken that as a warning and left immediately. 6. It seems to me that high-end dentists who accept insurance do so as a gimmick to draw in new business, and the monetary benefit to them from insurance payments is minimal. 7..Dr, Saidi serves mostly wealthy people, and as far as I know he serves then well. I believe he does good work, does not care about financially poor patients like me, and I give his office an F for management. 8. Do not depend on Google for reliable reviews, but look elsewhere as well, and watch your fingers."

"Dr. Saidi is hands down the best dentist I have ever had! He is extremely professional and amazing at what he does, always smiling and patiently explaining all the procedures, as well as a kind and an honest person. I would highly recommend him!"

"I always do my cleaning at his location. Great staff and service. Dr. Saidi is a great dentist. He has been my dentist for over 10 years. Highly recommended"
