Allen Dad2024-07-10This office is amazing! The structure and culture of office is top class and felt custom catered from beginning to end. My son is new patient to practice and want the best for my boy. The customer service from front office was very warm and caring. The assistants were very attentive and professional. What made this appointment a complete different experience for my family was a subject that has never been explained or overlook. Sleep Apnea!!! My son is 9 year old active boy. My beast!!! Recently I have notice major changes and have consulted with the best of the best about my son health. I was told this and that but just did not make sense and refused to drug my boy with meds. My consult with Dr Horiyat was for dental related services and had no idea Dr Horiyat also specialized in sleep apnea. After reviewing my son chart and doing her diagnosis she asked how is your son sleeping or doing at night? Some of questions started to make perfect sense and was intrigued to learn more about sleep health. After completing his home sleep study we find my son has obstructive sleep apnea. I don’t think many dentist talk about this due to lack of knowledge or just staying in the box of dentistry. Dr Horiyat is extremely knowledgeable and address all my concerns. I came in for routine dental and walked out proving a better quality of life for my son in finding a solution to his airway problems. Me and my 9 year old walked out with excitement. He said if this makes me a better soccer player I am in hahaha. We have started sleep appliances and instantly notice day and light difference in school in his attitude and he is killing it on the field. This review is way overdue. Aria Dental Dr Horiyat you guys rock and now my whole family will be patients as well!!!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Jordan Proper2024-07-09I cannot recommend Aria Dental enough. Every time I take myself or my family there I am more impressed. They have state of the art equipment that is safe/low radiation, the office is extremely organized and clean and they only use the safest materials for the mouth. I have complete confidence in Dr. Horyiat because she is constantly researching and learning. She follows up with me with research regarding any concerns I have. The cherry on top is her bedside manner, she has a natural maternal care for my kids when they are nervous and she is patient with me as an adult, she has no ego like most dentists do and is very respectful of your decisions. She is also willing to do research if she doesn’t have an answer, that is rare to find! I recommend her to everyone because she is a true biological dentist and the best in her field.
