Patient Reviews
“I have finally gotten some relief from 3 years of constant pain after only 1 appointment with Dr. Bakhtiari. On top of him being the only physician to not give up on treating my TMJ disorder refractory to most first line therapies, he is extremely personable and listens closely to your concerns.”
“Wow! I simply can’t say enough great things about Dr. Bakhtiari. I was in excruciating mouth pain when I first came to see him, and under his kind expert guidance, I was able to have him diagnose me very quickly, get to the heart of the matter, and find immediate solutions which ultimately led me to quickly becoming pain free. [...] He is warm, compassionate and understanding. A great doctor and person all around, and one who has given me my life back, I am eternally grateful.”
