I saw 'Dr' Mehdi over a year ago, but I have vivid memories. This was, absolutely, THE worst dentist I have ever been to. First of all, while waiting for her, I could hear a young, mentally disabled woman, crying while being worked on and screaming that she was in pain. Mehdi didnt seem to mind a bit. Just kept drilling. When she got to me, she was rough, splitting my lip and yanking my face around. She was condescending and had terrible bedside manners. She did NOT tell me the things she was doing and drilled on teeth I did not want touched. While drilling in one tooth, which had a root canal done on it the month before, she hurt me so badly that i screamed. She accused me of being a baby and refused to give me any novocaine. Her use of a drill is horrifying. She presses so hard that your entire tooth heats up. My jaw, inside, was burned and hurt for weeks. I also, unfortunately, had two caps put on by her and they are already failing. They look rotted and disgusting and one is loose. She also drilled out two teeth that didnt need it and put in two fillings. Those teeth are falling apart now. They were fine before! The method she used to put the fillings in was extremely amateur. She made pockets so there are places I cannot clean, the teeth were so close I could not floss (one has since broken and another is on its way).

PLEASE... DO NOT GO HERE. You will regret it and have more problems than before!!

I had to switch dentists when my insurance changed. I set up the appointment with Saratoga Dental and the practice had to push back my appointment to future dates, twice! I went to that practice in the first place because they could fit me in the quickest, but they couldn't follow through with the original appointment so I felt it was a bait-and-switch. When the practice finally kept my appointment, I waited for about a half-hour in the waiting room. I had copies of my recent X-rays that were less than a year old, but they did a full X-ray workup on me, which I wish I refused. They had a note on the X-ray machine to let the tech. know what X-rays to give for which insurance company, so that leads me to believe they give the full workup depending on the insurance and not whether or not the patient needs them. In hindsight, I wish that I refused due to the dangers of X-rays. The tech. only did the X-rays and I had to wait at least another half-hour for the dentist, Dr. Shazia Mehdi. I could hear the dentist with a young patient who was having a tough time based on his screams in the cubicle next to me. The dentist apologized for the wait when she saw me and she appeared flustered. She performed a quick cleaning on my teeth and was extremely rough. I felt she rushed and had zero beside manner. After the appointment, I experienced increased sensitivity along the gumline above one of my teeth. It was sensitive for many months after, especially when I drank something cold or used mouthwash. I switched practices again and will never go back to see Dr. Shazia Mehdi.

Their staff was friendly enough, but they didn't go out of their way to help me. I feel like my appointment was an inconvenience. None of my fillings were thoroughly corrected. not. I felt worse when I left. The office was easy enough to find. I would never visit them again. I was very disappointed. I felt very rushed. She tried to do too many filling in the hour allotted to me. Dr Mehdi does not have the finesse of a seasoned dentist. She does not buff out your filings nor does she make sure your bite is at it was. I actually went to another dentist to fix the filling she did for me. Not to mention the bedside manner of her and her staff was unpleasant to say the least.
