My 5 year old daughter has a lot of anxiety when it comes to the dentist, which the practice was very aware of. During her most recent visit, they tried to x-ray her teeth, to which she had a complete meltdown. Dr. Mohammadi came into the room following the incident and completely shamed her. He told her to chill out and ”go cry to daddy in the waiting room”. When I had had enough and told him not to speak to her that way, he told me I should check my parenting skills as the likely cause for her “behavioral issues”. I don’t ... read more

If I could give them zero stars I would. I am absolutely disgusted with my experience on 7/8. My daughter was there for a regular cleaning in April. She just turned 5 and is extremely nervous. They could not get X-rays due to her crying so we decided to come back and use laughing gas. Today was DISGUSTING. They took the mask placed it on her nose as she was screaming and said "OHHHH STOP IT, PUT YOUR BIG GIRL PANTS ON, CLOSE YOUR MOUTH AND BREATH FROM YOUR NOSE. THIS IS NOT THAT SCARY" He then proceed to grab her cheeks and ... read more

He traumatized my daughter and his bedside manner is awful. He forces unnecessary procedures for baby teeth that eventually were falling out in few months. He would charge for procedures my insurance have covered. It was constant bills when my insurance paid for all. He was nasty and always quick to throw you out of his office rather than seeing proof of insurance payment. Don’t know how he’s still practicing.

Dr Vali has no business dealing with TOTS (tethered oral tissues). We made the mistake of using him and hope other parents can be saved from making the same mistake. He misdiagnosed our son’s oral ties. We saw his myofunctional therapis before the procedure who said that our son did indeed have a tongue tie in addition to lip/buccal ties but that the tongue’s function was ok and didn’t need to be revised at this time. She said that if a lactation specialist saw a need for the revision that they would do it at no cost. We pro... read more

3 weeks ago, Dr. Vali and his office staff saved my child's life. My sons, now going on 12 and 15, grew up in Summerfield Pediatrics from their infancies. Divorce hit a few years ago and I had to unhappily downgrade health insurance and find a different practice. Summerfield Peds is part of my cherished memories of my sons' childhoods...my little guys racing over to the child-friendly bright chairs and modern playroom, giggling on their way out with their funky new sunglasses and sugar-free lollipops. But most of all, there ... read more

I take my daughter to this dental office since she had her first dental visit. I have found Dr. Mohammadi very professional and he answered all my questions. He was patient and his demeanor made my daughter feel secure. His staff is very courteous and accommodating. The office is set up nicely with a play area for the children while they wait to be seen.

We just had our first pediatric exam and had a pleasant experience. Dr. Vali and his team made the visit quick and answered all of our questions with care.

Long waiting time (45min, 15min, 50 min..) which was quite challenging when coming in with kids. Received a surprise call after 6 months that we owe a lot more $. Each procedure had been verified with insurance and we knew how much we would owe and settled it. 6 months later we got a call that there was a mistake and we owe much more that we had initially paid. The doctors were friendly and the set up is nice, but the parents' experience has a lot to wish for. Update: I have been getting multiple calls, voicemails and emails... read more

1. Do you like to wait for an hour with your young kids for a dental appointment? 2. Do you like to receive high, unjustified surprise bills six months after a dental visit? ...after accounts have been settled ... 3. Do you like to be harassed by your dentist via threatening emails and rude phone calls to take a negative review down? 4. Do you like your dentists to do "Creative accounting" and withhold reimbursement of the money you overpaid unless you remove a negative review? If you answered yes to one or more of those que... read more
