Dr. Sean S. Kashfi, DDS 1532 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101

"The man should be out of business by now! At least that's what I thought until I found this thread. Much to my dismay, this quack is still hurting people."

"I've been going to Dr. Kashfi since I was 10, my mother has also been a long time client of his. he now takes care of my daughter's teeth. Great service, He always does a good job, I rarely have any dental issues but when I do they get taken off. He does work alone, so you do need have patience, other than that, my teeth are grateful for Dr. Kashfi!"

"AVOID THIS DENTIST!! From the minute you walk in he is the receptionist, hygienist, and dentist all in one. That should have been a red flag already but I thought hey let me give it a benefit of the doubt this could an impressive trait. I went in for a routine cleaning and was told I needed a filling for a major cavity in a molar of mine. The cleaning itself lasted no longer than 2 mins, felt like he just traces my teeth. When I got home I noticed the plaque was definitely still there. Another red flag, regardless I went back for a filling and this dentist practically fought with me about using metal instead of white filling. We went back and forth about it about three times. I left feeling pain that never went away, went to a different dentist to find that there was decay underneath what he had filled. I feel he is unprofessional and does poor work."

"I have been seeing Dr. Kashfi for 20 years now. I have always been very happy of his service, he is very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating with the time. I get my teeth cleaned twice a year and I have never had any issue so I am always glad to go to his office. He is the family dentist for my entire family, they see him for regular visits and also as emergency. Dr. Kashfi is always good at diagonising medical problems and makes everyone feel better. I highly recommend him!"

"Dr Kashfi caused more pain in my mouth then I've ever had. I went to him in the hopes of fixing my teeth. He didn't numb me, he filled my teeth with mercury, and after I left I had an infection in my mouth. I then had to go to The East Side Dental to have them fix what he caused. During my visit with him another patient came in who had down syndrome and he was even complaining about previous mistakes and was trying to get the Dr. to fix them. In my opinion he shouldn't be allowed to practice. Worst dental experience I've ever had. He even filled a front tooth and left a cavity under where he filled and I had to have the next dentist remove it and refill it. How is this legal???"
