EXCELLENT Based on 334 reviews Posted on Cassie CashTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Horiyat is the only dentist I trust with my teeth. I found her in 2024 after a botched tooth extraction and she was truly the only one who would help me. Her approach to dentistry is unlike anyone else! She is an amazing, talented dentist who truly cares and will listen. She won’t stop until she finds a solution for you. I’m grateful to have found her!Posted on Keri SukutTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love this dentist. Staff is great and organized. Everyone is super friendly and they go above and beyond. I have had nothing but a positive experience.Posted on Sara M Al AsadiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The hygienist was kind and listened to my concerns, answered my questions and gave me good advise for my dental care. She was also very kind.Posted on brenda weybrightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Par usual, had a fantastic visit at Aria dental with Dr. Horyiat and staff...everyone is very professional, personable and does excellent work! I just love Dr. Maryam....she is so dedicated to her patients and giving them the absolute best ...I love that she is a perpetual learner and implements what she learns. - we need clones of her!! LOL She is the 4 D's....Delightful, Dedicated, Down to Earth & Deliciously Brilliant! 🙂 'Can't get better than that!Posted on dr. Aleks CansecoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Horiyat is amazing!!! She is incredibly knowledgable and my 8 year old son is treated so kindly by all the staff! The clinic is state of the art, clean and has all the latest equipment. We know our son is in good hands with Aria Dental.Posted on Alicia KusumitraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich kann die Frau Dr. gar nicht empfehlen. Ich war mehrfach in ihrer Praxis und sie war jedes Mal gestresst. Sie war kurz im Behandlungszimmer, dann rannte sie zum nächsten usw. Einmal habe ich 1,5 Stunden gewartet und sie dann bin ich sie suchen gegangen. Auf der Webseite bietet sie sehr viel an, aber sie hat mir gar nicht geholfen sondern alles schlimmer gemacht. 2 Implantate bei mir entfernt, ohne Knochenaufbau, so dass ich viel Knochenverlust hatte. Dann hat sie einen erneuten Knochenaufbau gemacht - kostenfrei - doch der hat auch nicht funktioniert, mein Körper hat das künstliche Knochenmaterial abgestoßen. Auch das Bonding, was sie bei mir gemacht hat, war nicht sehr gut. Ich habe sie bereits bei meinem 1. Besuch gebeten nach NICOS zu schauen. Sie sagte, sie hätte es getan und ich hätte keine NICOS. Doch das stimmt leider nicht. Ich bin mittlerweile bei einem sehr guten Zahnarzt, der sich Zeit nimmt, sorgfältig ist und nicht nur so tut, als ob er gut ist - wie die Frau Doktor. Übrigens nimmt sie für Ihre Arbeit - die nicht gut ist - sehr viel Geld. Einziger Lichtblink in der Klinik ist Steve, der wirklich sehr nett und immer hilfsbereit ist.Posted on Katrina WatsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone here shows such care & concern while doing excellent work. They take care to put the patient at ease & are concerned with root causes of dental problems. As much as I disdain going to any dentist, the staff here feel like friends!Posted on Charlene PalomoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing first time appointment with Aria Dental! Highly recommend this place! I was looking for a holistic dentist. Their reviews speak volume. Entire staff friendly and excellent customer service. They were very thorough, patient, and understanding. Office is gorgeous and immaculate! Very satisfied with my choice and only a couple of blocks from where I live. Thank you!
