Was good.

Overall i had a wonderful experience. The staff was nice and humble.

This was my third time using Dr. Zayden - one daughter had wisdom teeth removed, and had a baby tooth extracted and a chain put on to guide the adult tooth out. I had a tooth extracted. Every time the procedures were expertly completed.

I was not happy. I feel like I was overcharged for my service seen as the Dr wasn’t able to do anything for me. I’ve been paying since 2017 making payments on my dental work every month $260 and still not finish. For my visit I was told it would cost 159 for the consultation not expecting to pay 233. Not happy

I am writing to share my initial impressions regarding the services I received from your office on September 10, 2026.By way of background, on August 26, I began experiencing pain, swelling, and tenderness along the left side of my jaw, including soreness around teeth #14 and #15. My dentist, Dr. Sunny Behal, evaluated the area, took X-rays, and prescribed a Z-Pak antibiotic. He indicated that possible sources of the infection could include a previously treated root canal or a prior sinus lift procedure. The pain and soreness resolved following the antibiotic treatment.Dr. Behal referred me to Dr. Maan Zuaitar at One Endodontics. After evaluating me, Dr. Zuaitar determined that the root canal on tooth #14 needed to be redone, and that procedure was subsequently completed. He then referred me to Dr. Saeed Tofigh for an oral and maxillofacial surgery evaluation of the sinus lift that had been performed by the military on October 2, 2000.When I contacted Dr. Tofigh’s office to schedule my appointment, I offered to bring the referral, an imaging disk, and the operative summary from the original sinus lift procedure to the office in advance. I was told there was no need to do so and that I should simply bring the materials with me to my appointment.Prior to the appointment, I went online and completed the requested medical history. The process took considerable time—nearly two hours in total. Approximately three-quarters of the way through my initial attempt, the system timed out and none of the information I had entered had been automatically saved. I therefore had to start over. I eventually completed and successfully submitted my medical history electronically.When I arrived for my appointment, however, I was told that I needed to provide the same medical history again on paper because electronically submitted information takes approximately 24 hours to appear in the office system. I found this particularly frustrating. After spending considerable time completing the information electronically—and having already lost my first entry because the system did not automatically save my work—I then spent another 20–30 minutes manually recreating information I had already submitted.There also appeared to be some confusion regarding my referral and supporting records. Although I had previously offered to provide these materials in advance, I was told at the appointment that the office already had the referral. There was also some initial reluctance to accept the imaging disk because of concern that it might not be readable. The assistant ultimately accepted it.What concerned me most, however, was the consultation itself. When Dr. Tofigh entered the examination room, his first question to me was, “Why are you here?”Given that I had been specifically referred to his office for evaluation, had offered to provide the referral and supporting records in advance, and had spent considerable time providing my medical history, that question gave me the immediate impression that little or no preparation or review of my case had occurred before he entered the room.I provided Dr. Tofigh with a copy of the referral and explained the reason for the consultation. He briefly examined my mouth and recommended that I see an ENT specialist. The examination itself lasted less than five minutes.I fully understand that an oral and maxillofacial surgeon may appropriately conclude that a patient’s condition falls outside his specialty and that evaluation by an ENT physician is the proper next step. My concern is not necessarily with that medical conclusion. My concern is with the process that led to it.Had the referral and available records been reviewed beforehand, it seems possible that the purpose and appropriateness of the consultation could have been determined before I invested substantial time completing paperwork, traveling to the office, waiting for the appointment, and undergoing an examination lasting only a few minutes.From a patient’s perspective, the entire experience suggested a lack of coordination between the administrative and clinical sides of the practice. The inability of the electronic medical-history system to preserve information, the requirement to duplicate electronically submitted information on paper, the uncertainty surrounding my referral and imaging, and the apparent lack of familiarity with the purpose of my visit all contributed to an unnecessarily frustrating experience.Unfortunately, my initial impression is that this appointment represented a considerable waste of both my time and Dr. Tofigh’s time.I am also concerned about the appropriateness of any consultation charge associated with this visit. Given the extremely limited nature of the examination, the apparent lack of advance review of the referral and supporting information, and the immediate recommendation that I instead be evaluated by an ENT specialist, I question whether a full consultation charge is warranted under these circumstances. If I have been charged directly, or if a claim has been or will be submitted to my insurance carrier for this consultation, I respectfully request that the practice review that charge and provide me with an explanation of the services billed. I have shared my concerns with my insurance company.I am sharing these concerns with you not simply to complain, but because I believe there are opportunities to improve the process for future patients. Better review of referrals before appointments, more effective handling of electronically submitted medical histories, and advance review of available records could significantly improve both patient experience and clinical efficiency.I would appreciate your reviewing what occurred and providing your perspective on whether this experience reflects the normal process within the practice or whether something went wrong in the handling of my referral and appointment. I would also appreciate a response regarding the billing for this consultation and whether the practice believes the charge is appropriate given the services actually provided.Respectfully,John Thomas(703) 987-5424
