I am so happy that i have found Dr. Farahmand ! I have always been a little fearful of going to the dentist, but now I find tht I don't get nervous, and I even look forward to going and seeing everyone there. He is very gentle, and has a great sense of humor ! I have even referred several friends to him, because I know they will be in good hands with him. His staff is so nice, and very efficient. I won't go anywhere else, ever !

I met Dr. Farahmand 4 years ago whenI had a dental emergency. I had a broken tooth. I phoned his office and explained I was new in this area and did not have a dentist but had this broken tooth. His staff was so helpful and pleasant. They got me in that afternoon and fixed my tooth. They even had to stay late to help me. My experience with Dr. Farahmand was unbelievable . He was not just nice, but gentle and caring too!!! He took the time to get to know me and find out what my fears were even before we started my procedure. He even has a great sense of humor which makes my visit each time more fun. So I would recommend Dr. Farahmand to everyone. He Is Dental Fabulous.............

I felt very comfortable at the office. I was a liitle hesitant to find a dentist on the web, but from my first visit, the receptionist was very nice and accomadating. Dr. Farahmand was very understanding that I was nervous, and let me ask as many questions as I wanted, and explained all of them in details. He did a great filing for me, which by the way barely hurt. I was amazed. I feel so lucky to be a patient of his office. They are warm people and I feel well taken care of. I recommend them (and have recommended them) to anybody.

I have been extremely happy with the services provided by Dr Farahmand and his colleagues and staff at Albany Dental Group. They were cordial, friendly, efficient, and understanding of patients' particular situations. The office is small and homey, very clean and bright, and the atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing. Being a usually anxious patient for dental work, I've been especially impressed by Dr Farahmand's friendliness and attention to my questions and addressing them. The office is conveniently located near Interstate 80, BART station, and the El Cerrito shopping center. I would recommend Dr Farahmand and Alban Dental to my friends and anybody looking for a pleasant, effective, and efficient experience in dental hygiene.

Inaccurate estimates. I had to pay twice as much as the original estimate. He made a bad crown, which means that I know have to get a root canal. I do not recommend this dentist!

Staff are friendly, hygenists are excellent. Dr. Farahmand seems extremely busy and not able to adequately concentrate on each patient's needs. After taking over the practice from Dr. Holloway he never bothered to perform an exam on me. When fitted for a crown he was too busy to do it himself and let his assistant do it (badly).

Not a dentist I would recommend. I always sensed that Dr. Farahmand was in a hurry, and he seemed irritated when I would ask questions about my treatment that would take any time to answer. While his treatment methods were relatively painless, haste resulted in a botched job the one time I let him fill a tooth--he didn't take enough time to ensure that the bite was correct, leaving me unable to chew for several days until I could get in again to have him finish the job. Worst of all, I question whether all the work he recommends is really necessary. He recommended that I have five crowns put in (at a cost of nearly $1000 each). Second and third opinions from other dentists, however, were that the crowns were unnecessary.
There seems to be a rotating pool of hygienists in the office; some have been wonderfully thorough, pleasant, and skilled at explaining dental procedures, but others have been brief and curt. Kathy at the front desk is very pleasant and efficient.
