He has no personal responsibility to the patient, never been to a dentist except this one, new crown and it falls out 3 weeks later. Does not except secondary dental insurance but keeps the check, see you in court doctor

Dr Bessada as well as his staff are very amazing. They are all warm and friendly. I was greeted with a smile from everyone of the staff. I have read the previous comments and I do not find any of these to be true. I would recommend everyone I know. He has a very conservative approach to dentistry. If he recommends a procedure he always has the proper tools to explain it to me in terms I am able to understand. If you are looking for a great dentist, Dr Bessada it the Dr for you.

Rude, uncaring, not in touch with reality. Paid for exam which I did not receive. Dr reviewed my xray and never looked in my mouth. At one point basically told me I was stupid for choosing a more cost effective procedure.

Dr. Bessada went the extra mile for me. I had to have planing and he numbed me up for free for a less painful experience. The hygienists there were skilled and gentle, and the staff was pleasant. You can't do better around here.

Worst dentist office I've ever been to! They are so completely disorganized and don't know how to schedule appointments, which is funny considering the office is completely empty of patients every time I go....that should've been a sign. The staff is rude, as is the dentist himself. They also find every possible excuse to charge you for unnecessary tests and treatments. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.
