Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Damaged my teeth and porcelain crowns
I ONLY went to Dr Naim a couple of years ago because my upper incisor next to my front tooth broke & I needed ONE tooth implant. Dr. Naim however put in for a procedure, which he INSISTED was necessary even when I complained during the procedure, in which he actually sanded in between & around the base of all of my bottom teeth, thereby (1) leavings spaces for the tip of my tongue to get stuck, (2) masses amount of food to get stuck between my teeth each time I eat, & (3) chipping porcelain off of my crowns, which exposed the black foundation metal underneath the crowns. When my implant was finally installed, it kept rubbing on 2 lower teeth, which led Dr. Naim to sand this implant so thin, that the bottom of the tooth implant chipped within a day, leading him to sand the bottom of the tooth implant to where it is now the shortest tooth in my mouth. I am heartbroken that my crowns were damaged, I constantly have to pick food out of my teeth & my expensive implant has never been right

I had an excellent experience with Dr Naim and his entire staff. They were extremely accommodating with scheduling. Dr. Naim made me feel safe and comfortable and the procedure went off without a hitch. Rita answered my additional recovery questions via text on a weekend. And then, because I needed to make early adjustments to my stitches due to work, they let me come in two additional times to cut and trim them and also remove the ones they could early. They are just so friendly, professional and good at what they do. The offices are clean and easy to get to. 10/10 recommend.

Dr. Naim, like his name: calm, polite, comforting, is a professional one of a kind and hard to find. After an extensive search, I selected him for my periodontics work. His treatment was excellent and professional. I can’t thank him enough

I was initially very nervous and hesitant to undergo a gum grafting procedure for gum recession. I had consultations with a few other doctors before Dr. Naim and did not feel comfortable doing the procedure until I met Dr. Naim. His procedure was minimally invasive and he described the whole process in detail to me and showed me before and after pictures of previous patients. The procedure went very well and I had much less pain and inconvenience than I was expecting. I would recommend him to anybody needing dental procedures.

Dr. Naim is the best. My front tooth implant case was a bit difficult due to a poor attempt at a bone graft from a prior dentist. Dr Naim redid the graft with a very positive outcome. He explanations and manner were remarkable. Even the aesthetics of the crown keep my look very natural, which was my preference, to look my age of 66, not with a fake, exaggerated smile. I would highly recommend Dr Naim. He is truly the most competent dentist I have ever experienced. And his staff was incredible. I am most grateful for all his, and his team's, fine work.

I chose Dr. Naim to do an extensive upper arch implant after consulting with two other periodontists because of his careful and expert assessment of my gums and the condition of my other teeth and bridges. I had no complications during the course of treatment and the results were outstanding. His office is professional and courteous and I plan to continue to see Dr. Naim for future cleanings and general care. Dr. Naim gets my highest recommendation!
