"Dr. Rostami for almost seven years. Dr. Rostami will take as much time as needed to explain what the issues are, the different treatment options and the possible outcomes. I actually have a pain-free small cavity that he refuses to fill because there is no reason to at this time. Instead, his concern is my gum health (and rightfully so, I researched it online and my symptoms match his diagnosis and recommended treatment plan). Recently, I had $1200 let in a flex health care account that I was going to lose if i didn't spend right away. We talked about how to best spend it (I could buy four invisalign retainers for when my current one wears out, etc) but he wanted to get a better look to see if there was anything else I needed more. He had his assistant take hi def photos of all of my teeth and mouth and immediately stated I needed a particular procedure, but he doesn't do that procedure. He called a dental surgeon and convinced her to fit me in three days later so i wouldn't lose the money (I had to fly out of state that third day). He could have easily convinced me to get treatments that I didn't need or those retainers so he could pocket the money himself. Instead, he made sure that I used the money to best benefit my dental health. Then he called me after the surgery to make sure I was okay and to advise me on after care and answer all of my questions. They will work really hard to see you around your schedule, and if you show up on the wrong day they will try to fit you in. I strongly believe that Dr. Rostami is motivated purely by trying to provide the best care possible. He often kindly guides me to swish with salt water and floss because he believes these to be very cheap and effective dental care options. I only wish my medical doctor was as invested in my health and well-being."

"I will start off by saying simply that Dr. Rostami is not just the finest dentist i've ever known, but as fine a doctor as i've ever known. I first came to Dr. Rostami when i was in a world of pain, suffering from tri-geminal neuralgia, an affliction that few know anything about, and fewer still have ever heard of. The one thing, and i mean the one thing every website agrees on is that it is,"among the most, if not THE severe pain known to mankind". Over the next few months, extensive treatment, from cleaning out old amalgam fillings, to crowns, to root canals, to implants, i experienced care that was comforting, reassuring, expert and, most importantly of all, successful. I have been pain free and cured for almost five years. I should state that a cure is almost never forthcoming with this awful disease, and i've known several others who suffer constantly from it. I even met a woman who has been married for twenty tears but has never been able to kiss her husband due to the extraordinary pain the disease causes here. Dr. Rostami has a great personality, and it is always obvious how much he cares about his patients. I have never received anything but the most expert care from the doctor, and his excellent staff. I tell those who ask: he saved my life, and that is no exaggeration. No one loves going to the dentist but i assure you when you are in Dr. Rostami's chair, pain and discomfort are almost non-existent, and a full cure is imminent. I feel incredibly lucky to have found him when i did, and i continue to feel the same way to this day. "

" The accident was really a shock for me. I don't like doctors (dentists, even worse -till now!-), and luckily for me till now doctors were seldom needed. When i arrived at the clinic, bloody and with the front teeth broken (i could not recognise myself at all) and in pain, i was terrified and close to hysteria, even more shocked that i was in a foreign country. However, Dr Rostami and his team immediately came by my side, soothing me, tending me with care, examining me carefully and efficiently. I was really very lucky to be in their hands, they did miracles for me as not only they had my teeth fixed (and that in 2 days, as i was travelling back Greece) perfectly and without making me suffer, but they also did a lot more than just their "job", suturing my lip which was in bad form and bleeding, and cleaning and taking care of my wounds. I am really gratefull to all the team and especially to Dr Rostami, who stood by me and gained my trust, making me recover, calming me and explaining all the time what he was doing, taking away the pain and making me again "me".His job was really excellent, no one can see absolutely any change in my teeth, and seing from the xrays how they were broken it now seems really a miracle! I will never forget what the Dr and his team did for me, caring so much, even sparing their lunch time and altering their schedule and working late to help me recover and go back home "whole" and well, and not "in pieces" and in pain. Now i am recovering really quickly, and i really wish i could visit LA so often as to have Dr Rostami as my permanent dentist, his care and efficient worth and integrity are things you really can't find today. Excellent work from "excellent" -with heart and care- persons, that will always be in my heart.
The words "thank you" just will be never enough!"

"I have always been uncomfortable going to dental offices since I was very young. However, my experience at Brentwood Dental Group has been different. Since the first time I went to Brentwood Dental, their friendly staff always greets me into their office and helps me with the paperwork. I am always impressed by how patiently Doctor Rostami listents to my concerns, and tries to explain what procedure he will be doing before he begins. Several times the doctor has explained how he will try to keep a tooth alive, rather than performing a more expensive root canal, and I can tell how he genuinely cares for my health and well being."

"Experience was extremely pleasant. I had consulted with a few cosmetic dentists in the area and knew exactly what I needed done and what I was getting myself into. I chose Dr. Rostami because he was intelligible, friendly and offered the best price for his service. I was not displeased with my decision. Better yet, I was very content with my choice to go with Dr. Rostami. His staff was extremely friendly, he was always on time and made me feel very comfortable about the whole process. I think that's the most important because if you have doubts of any kind, you will start second guessing and it becomes a mess. Dr. Rostami did his best to make me feel important and his attention to detail was impeccable. Would definitely recommend to anyone else. As a matter of fact, I already have! "

"Wow, I have finally found a dental office I dont mind going to. The staff made me feel right at home. Dr. Rostami sat down with me and made me feel like I was family. I forgot the name of the girl that did my cleaning but she was fantastic and my teeth feel amazing. I am actually looking forward to going back."

"Let me start by saying I'm not very trusting of dentists in general. I've had bad experiences in the past, so I believed that outside of cleanings, all they wanted to do was recommend unnecessary products and procedures to make a buck.

But from the moment I walked through their doors, the staff greeted me with smiles and friendly conversation. They seemed genuinely concerned with my dental health, and all of my questions and concerns were addressed. They also convinced me to get my first deep cleaning. But I still refused to get a night guard to prevent damaging my teeth due to grinding them at night.

Now, a year later, I have a chipped front tooth that is worn so thin that a veneer is no longer an option, and I have to get an expensive cap instead. This could have been prevented if I had just listened to them and got the mouth guard at a fraction of the price.

As for the cost, they are very understanding about budgets in these tough times and are willing to work with you on financing. Trust me - it's better to pay a little now than a lot later!

Dr. Rostami is the first dentist for whom I can say - as an adult capable of being extremely discerning - I trust implicitly and would recommend to anyone. "

"I have been a patient of Dr. Rostami's for over five years now and I keep going back because of their tremendous customer service and their extensive knowledge of what's going on in my mouth. I have always been treated with the utmost care and concern. Though going to the dentist isn't my idea of a fun thing to do, I still manage to keep up with my visits because it is such a great office. The staff is so friendly and Dr. Rostami is one in a million. I leave the office feeling well taken care. I'm a happy camper."

"From the start they make you feel as if you have known them since childhood and that's a great feeling. I've had numerous dentist but if i would have meet Dr. Rostami 15 years ago, he would have been my only dentist. Better late than never. Every aspect of his practice is first class!! I feel fortunate to have found a dentist who tells you as it is. They have a great attitude, just bring yours and relax. Dr. Rostami will take care of you. Thank you!! Dr.Rostami,Letty,Darwin,Priscila... "

"For over 6 years I had various types of dental insurance and I was afraid of visiting dentist, since my mother and brother were victims of bad dental practices by their dentists. After having a sharp tooth pain and my x-ray results from a different dental office showed I had handful of cavities in my mouth. Yet, I was still afraid of having my teeth filled at that dental place. I was referred to Brentwood Dental Group by a friend and I was assured a quality patient care. After my first comprehensive examination, I was confident enough that I made the right decision to choose Brentwood Dental Group as my dental care provider. Thanks to Dr. Rostami's office, my cavities were filled with matching color that none of my friends were even able to tell which teeth were filled. I would definitely recommend Dr. Rostami and Brentwood Dental Group to anyone who is afraid of dentist like I was, and looking for a quality place to handle their dental needs."

"When my dental surgeon first referred me to Dr. Rostami, I was skeptical about working with someone I knew nothing about. And I had never heard about a "dental-implant" dentist.

To my surprise, I now consider Dr. Rostami to be one of the most skilled dentists I have ever encountered in my many years od seeing dentists with various backgrounds and specialties. From the beginning, I was amazed to discover that sitting in a dentist's chair could be a pleasant experience, even while getting dental work completed. Yet, this is exactly what my experience has been with Dr. Rostami. He is understanding, empathic, and most importantly, makes every effort to achieve perfection in his work.

I believe that the ability to communicate with one's dentist is very important. Dr. Rostami provides a relaxed atmosphere in which patients can discuss sensitive issues in a mature, creative, and productive manner. He takes whatever information is given to him, ask pointed questions, and presents his professional opinion on what would be the best plan going forward.

Dr. Rostami helped me reach a decision about my work. with his encouragement, I was able to make some decisions I had felt anxious about earlier concerning health and financial issues. I know when my dental treatment is finally completed: I will appreciate Dr. Rostami's advice even more.

I am thankful for his expertise and knowledge, and I would not hesitate to refer others to him because that he would help them achieve their goals. "

"I Am 88 years old and have been going to dentists since I was about 12 years old and had braces. I have been treated by 15 to 20 dentists in that time, and never any one as gentle and caring and knowledgeable as Dr. Rostami.

I suffered early faulty implants and finally was referred to Dr. Rostami by a dental surgeon. Dr. rostami extracted my remaining unhealthy teeth and made perfect new implants which have changed my life. I have complete faith in his knowledge, ability and workmanship and appreciate his warm, human, and friendly relationship."

"I am a patient that has for over fifty years received “inadequate or poor dental care.” I received inadequate dental care as a child because my parents either did not understand the value of good consistent dental care or they could not afford it. As an adult responsible for my own dental care, I took it very seriously and made it a priority. I faithfully scheduled and received my 6-month dental check ups and cleanings. However, I continued to loose teeth despite my personal commitment. Unfortunately, I was receiving poor dental care my former dentists, as they had not appropriately diagnosed my dental problems. It could have been that they simply did not have the expertise to properly deal with my problems. I was a serious grinder and didn't know it. Besides loosing most of my molars, my bite collapsed and began causing me significant pain whenever I opened my mouth.It was only when I began seeing Dr. Mahnaz Rashti that I received the care that my teeth and my joints required. Dr. Rashti is an extremely skillful dentist, specializing in implants, with the unusual talent of being able to explain in laymen terms your dental care requirements and how she plans to proceed with your care. Most importantly, Dr. Rashti encourages you to ask questions and participate in the decision making process of your care plan. She is interested in your overall health and how it will be impacted by your dental health. She is not willing to make quick fixes that ultimately fail and create greater problems for you in the long run.The care I have received allows me to recommend, without reservation, the services of Dr. Mahnaz Rashti and her staff to anyone interested in receiving superior dental care. It's a wonderful feeling when you smile and people comment on how beautiful your teeth are."
