Dr. Ali Zanjani Pashapour

I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Pashapour for my daughter’s wisdom teeth to seek information only. Due to prom/graduation timing, we were not prepared to schedule surgery that day. After consulting with the doctor, we were taken to another room and presented with a treatment plan totaling about $6,200 after insurance, along with a required 20% deposit to schedule surgery. We repeatedly explained that we were not ready to commit to a date, but were encouraged to “just get something on the calendar” and told it could always be changed later. We eventually scheduled a tentative date and paid a $1,240 deposit. The office scheduled the surgery only 7 days before prom and assured us that was enough recovery time. At my daughter’s next dental appointment, our regular dentist strongly disagreed and advised us to move the procedure, which I did. After speaking with insurance, other parents, and obtaining a second opinion from another highly rated oral surgeon, we were told my daughter’s… case appeared routine. The second office’s total cost for the same procedure, including sedation and PRF treatment, was approximately $1,615 after insurance. I’ve attached a redacted comparison of both treatment plans so readers can evaluate the difference themselves (available on google and other sites that allow image attachments). Once we decided not to proceed, I requested a refund of the $1,240 deposit. The office declined based on its policy that deposits are forfeited within 14 days of the original surgery date, which I do not recall being clearly explained verbally during scheduling. I understand every practice sets its own pricing and policies. My advice to other parents is simply: • Get a second opinion before oral surgery. • Compare treatment plans carefully. • Fully understand deposit/cancellation policies before scheduling.

Dr. Pashapour is one of the best dentists I've ever had. He's an outstanding communicator and a great listener. The results were excellent. I can't say enough good things about his work and that of his team. Plus, he has a terrific sense of humor - always appreciated.
