Dr. Dani Benyaminy

I deeply regret ever going to Dr. Dani Benyaminy for my porcelain veneers. From start to finish, the experience was a nightmare that caused lasting damage both physically and emotionally. Dr. Benyaminy wasn't even the one who administered the anesthesia during my procedure, and yet he didn't seem concerned about the severe complications I endured until I ended up in the hospital. On the day of my procedure, he was unfocused, distracted, and unprofessional. He even complained about just coming back from a trip the night before, as if that excused his behavior. The entire process was unnecessarily prolonged, and I was injected with anesthesia five times by another individual without my prior consent and then injected by him. This individual clearly did not know what she was doing, and I felt sharp pain during the injections, which was completely ignored. What made matters worse was Dr. Benyaminy's dismissive attitude toward my pain. He repeatedly told me I was "just sensitive" and even… joked about telling my partner how "sensitive" I am. This was incredibly insulting and unprofessional, especially in the midst of my suffering. After my procedure, I experienced excruciating pain, numbness, swelling, and difficulty breathing for weeks. The roof of my mouth developed painful lesions, and I couldn't speak, eat, or drink properly. When I called the office desperate for help, I was told they were closed on Fridays. It wasn't until I ended up in the ER that they finally called me back and told me to come in. Even then, Dr. Benyaminy didn't see me in person--he "assessed" my condition over FaceTime while the lesions in my mouth worsened. Only after asking and asking was I given a time to go into the office where he gave me a mouthwash. And after weeks I asked to go into the office to pick up the aligners that was included in the price I paid for the procedure, which I had to "remind" them to give. To make matters worse, the veneers themselves weren't even the length, thickness, or width we had agreed upon. While I was in pain and struggling to speak, they had me sign a form acknowledging the work, even though I kept stating that the veneers were not what we had discussed. It was evident that Dr. Benyaminy didn't inspect or check the size of the veneers at all before placing them, leaving me with a result I wasn't happy with, but I was in too much pain to even object at that point. This experience has been devastating. Not only was I left physically distressed and in constant pain, but the dismissive and careless attitude of Dr. Benyaminy and his staff made it even worse. To add insult to injury, they offered me a "free cleaning" as if that would make up for the weeks of pain and suffering. The front desk staff were kind and attentive through texts and calls from day 1, and I was excited from the first day I walked in and immediately left a deposit to begin work BUT only until I paid for the procedure in full--weeks before the final cementation of the veneers. After that, the level of care and responsiveness noticeably declined especially when I was contacting them about what was physically happening to me after the porcelain veneers placement. They try to make you feel special by claiming they close the entire office for the day so the doctor can focus solely on you, but that's far from the truth. Not only was I worked on by someone else for the most important part which is being administered anesthesia but there were multiple patients being treated in the office at the same time. The personalized care they promised never happened. I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. I live with the consequences every day, and it took me a long time to write this review, but I don't want anyone else to endure what I did. If you care about professionalism, respect, and your health, please avoid Dr. Dani Benyaminy. His negligence, lack of focus, and failure to even follow the agreed-upon treatment plan have caused me more harm than I can expr
