I had an excellent experience and highly recommend Dr. Horiyat. I actually flew in from San Francisco specifically for my dental work, and it was absolutely worth the trip. She is incredibly skilled, honest, and conservative in her approach. She does what is necessary without pushing unnecessary dental work. She handled my filling with minimal work and made the entire process comfortable. She also did an amazing job on my veneer and crown. The results look extremely natural, and her attention to detail is exceptional. Finding a dentist with this combination of honesty, skill, and craftsmanship is rare. I couldn’t be happier with the results and would gladly fly back from San Francisco to see her again.
