Shemirani Bobby DDS

"I recently had the pleasure of receiving orthodontic treatment from Dr. Bobby Shemirani’s office and I am absolutely delighted with the results. From the moment I walked in the door, I was made to feel welcome and comfortable. The staff were friendly and professional and made sure I was well informed throughout the entire process. Dr. Shemirani was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my questions with ease. He also took the time to explain the entire process to me and make sure I was comfortable with the treatment plan. The results of my treatment have been outstanding. My teeth look and feel amazing and I couldn’t be happier. I’m so glad I chose Dr. Shemirani’s office for my orthodontic needs. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for top-notch orthodontic care."

"Tl;Dr - Strongly don't recommend I am a 25 year old patient with crowding and misplaced teeth; I recently secured financial means to obtain braces and Bobby's office was one of my first consultations. I should have aborted then. He glanced at my teeth, looked at a couple angles, and that was it, he said he'd fix it without extractions. Bobby's initial exam was so subpar compared to other orthos who spent detailed time performing exams and making calculations and projections and advised extractions, but I was excited at the prospect of not needing to take teeth out under Bobby. A week later I showed up to Bobby's office excited to be treated without extractions. Then he pulled out a cephalometric chart and said I was severely protruded and extractions would be vital and he got angry at me for wanting time to process this new information. He insisted I put his braces on right away and decide on extractions later. All 4 lower incisor brackets Bobby himself installed on my teeth that day came right off within a few days because he wasn't paying attention and the teeth were wet. I ended up getting extractions. I tried to initiate a discussion with Bobby on how my treatment would change. He yelled at me for always asking questions, called me "stupid and irrelevant" in front of staff and patients. Sometimes, I wonder if Bobby's treatment of me has anything to do with my race, but I see that many other patients have had similar fate, and he has the lowest rating I can find for an ortho in the area (3.2 star pre my review).  He dismissed me from his practice, because he was scared when I told him I would sue him if he eventually messed my oral health up as a result of disregarding my input and overall negligence. I explained to him that offices around weren't taking transfers and he said that was "no concern" of his, having extraction holes in my mouth that he recommended in treatment and needed consistent orthodontic supervision. I would not recommend Bobby to adult patients, he dismisses your opinions, and I would not take my child to Bobby either. He doesn't actually care about patients. Thankfully, I am now under treatment elsewhere and I can't even compare, it's day and night. Please save yourself some stress. I will be suing Bobby. He claims I was confrontational, I really wasn't, no other medical office has such opinion of me because they are attentive. I was simply affirmative and demanding attentive service seeing his failures and lack of attention in my treatment. He claims that I'm running a "smear campaign". This detailed review and the shorter anonymous review by "Dada Didi" are the only reviews I made. Other patients have similar experiences, feel free to visit and judge for yourself please."

"My treatment is mediocre, but the attitude of the doctor brought it down to 1 star. Overall, he got the job done, but not in a very good way. Shemirani himself is very short towards patients and unlikable. In the free "consultation," he never explained what was wrong with my teeth or what would be done to fix it. All he said was, "You have a [problem with my teeth] we will correct that. Most of the time he never even does anything to your teeth; he leaves the vast majority of the work to his assistants and then comes in at the end with something almost inconsequential. He is also very rude towards patients and has interrupted me while I was stating my concerns and brushed them off.The dental assistants and waiting room staff are themselves quite nice, however. One of the most galling things about this clinic is that the large amount of positive reviews Shemirani has gotten (50 on yelp and 16 on google) are almost all false. Allow me to explain. Within the clinic, there is a rewards system for taking care of your braces, called wooden nickels. Each appointment, you get 1 wooden nickel for coming on time, 1 for having clean teeth and braces, and 1 if no braces are loose or broken. When your braces are taken off, you can exchange the wooden nickels for prizes like Jamba Juice Gift Cards, Starbucks Gift Cards, Target gift cards, Itunes gift cards, and cash. Now, here's the catch: if you leave a positive Yelp or Google review, you will get a reward of 25 wooden nickels, almost double the amount that a percon with a perfect score would get. Due to my family's financial situation, we cannot switch Orthodontists. Therefore, I am reviewing anonymously so that there is not even more of a drop in the quality of my treatment."

"I'm an adult orthodontic patient, and everything about the experience was great! I found Dr. Shemirani to be courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and a great communicator, and the staff was awesome! The paperwork was easy but thorough. I felt prepared and in the know, and I feel like I made a great choice! The pricing was great too, which I appreciate :)"

"I would not recommend going here. Had a great experience with them when I was originally going t here for my braces, but the way I was treated when I went back was appalling. My treatment was over and my alignment changed (even though I wear my permanent and removable retainers every day), so I went back since they have a 100% guarantee that they will provide aligners at no extra cost if anything changes. The assistant understood and echoed my concern but Dr. Shemirani waved them off, dismissed what I said, and said my teeth look perfect. They clearly don't and need to be realigned to not be an annoyance when I bite or speak. Will be going to a different orthodontist to get my permanent retainer off and a consultation to get clear aligners to go back to normal and be able to finally use my front teeth correctly again. I'm incredibly hurt by the treatment and that the guarantee was not honored."
