Dentist Las Vegas - Preferred Family Dentistry

I went to this dentist as a referral because I am new to the area. I scheduled an appointment and took my young child with me. After receiving x-rays, I made an appointment for me to have treatment done. The receptionist called me, and we discussed my insurance and what work would be done at my next scheduled appointment. I called the day of the appointment and was not only told that what we discussed wouldn't be done, but that an entirely different dentist would be doing part of the work (we discussed preferred dentist when I scheduled the visit). I informed the receptionist that I wanted to speak with the dentist, and she refused. I am a professional and was nothing but professional when explaining why I wanted to speak to the dentist. The receptionist informed me that I should go elsewhere and that she would not schedule an appointment. I was taken aback. I asked again about speaking with the dentist and asked if we could carve some time out before my next scheduled appointment so that I can discuss treatment with the dentist. I was again told no and was informed that the owner dentist gives her authority to talk like she did and tell patients to go elsewhere.

I have never experienced anything like this. I would in no way recommend this establishment. It appears to be hit or miss and the first encounter is with the front desk staff. I thought I found a great family dentist. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

Nice little place they have! My ma referred me to them, which is rare since my ma is so picky, and their prices are very reasonable (especially if you have to pay without insurance). The dentist has a nice hand, didn't even feel anything when they were deep cleaning my teeth. The rest of the staff are very friendly as well! :D
Overall, nice place to go to get my teeth fixed up (and there's a liquor store nearby where I can get something for the road ;3)

My husband and I just moved to the Las Vegas area almost a month ago now from Northern California. Three nights ago my front tooth which had a veneer on it cracked in my mouth leaving me looking both hideous and in a lot of pain! I went on- line and found Dr. J! She took me under her wing immediately and was able to very quickly and painlessly take off my cracked top tooth Veneer and begin prepping me for a crown. I was extremely pleased with both her professionalism towards me as her patient, as well as her sound experience! Together we discussed the need for me to now switch to a crown as opposed to a new veneer! The way she handled my level care, the way she made me feel like I was not just a patient but rather a family member really resonated with me! Not only was my level of care excellent in both her hands as well as her hygienists, but I also very much appreciated the entire staff members dedication to keeping us as patients all safe during this brutally unforgiving Corona Virus pandemic! Firstly, the office only sees patients during this pandemic! Secondly patients must call the office first upon arriving to the facility for their dental care needs, before entering! The front desk staff take patient vitals, and ask that patients utilize hand sanitizers and keep social distance between them and us as patients! The office is incredibly sanitary, very respectful towards patients on every level, and very reasonable financially! The staff provides patients with exactly the care they need, without pushing other costly cosmetic procedures upon their patients! Under the loving, pain- free, very meticulous level of care of Dr. J and her amazing staff, I have now found a dental care practice for life!❤❤❤-

I started seeing Dr. J in 2007 and even when her practice was not approved by my insurance carrier I continued to go on my dime since their practice is the BEST!! I am like family there and really enjoy going to the dentist here since meeting Dr. J.

I'm shocked another reviewer gave Dr. J one star???? She is the BEST dentist I have ever encountered in my 34 years of life! Started seeing her a year ago, with really messed up teeth. I have had such a fear of dentists, and such horrible experiences, I neglected to go for YEARS. Finally, the decay, caught up with me, and the pain was so bad I had to go. I was referred to her by a few friends of mine. She was very gentle, caring, and she is the only dentist I have been consistent with. We did as much as we could last year before my benefits ran out. Now, my benefits have started over, and I just made my appointment tomorrow to finish my two front teeth, and my smile will be pretty much completed. I am SO excited that I can smile confidently again! I will probably cry once I see my nice smile again. Can't thank you to Dr. J enough!!!!! She is wonderful! As long as she is in practice, I am a patient!

I just moved to Las Vegas and was referred to Dr. Jafarifar by a good friend. He said that Dr. J is one of the best dentists around and I have to agree. Dr. J's office is clean and comfortable, her assistant Audrey was extremely nice, welcoming and helpful. Dr. J is a general all around awesome dentist. She was thorough and answered my million and one questions with a smile. I have found an amazing dentist for life. Thanks to my buddy Mike for the great referral.

I will never go to this place again. The dentist acted like she was too busy to continue my appointment and said she had other patients to see. I was shocked because she was referred to me by a friend and I was highly disappointed. Also her X-ray tech was horrible and the machine they use is very cheap and almost bootleg. The tech acted like she was doing the first X-ray of her career. She kept poking me in the gums with the strips. Very uncomfortable. They need a new X-ray system. I was there for 3 hours seeing people arrive after me and leave before me which was unbelievable because I was the first patient of the day. The dentist is so uncaring, even after I told her about my work schedule, when I left the only thing she said was "see you next time", not offering a follow up or anything after she only filled 2 of the 5 fillings and didn't do any kind of cleaning. THE WORST DENTAL EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE! I walked out nearly in tears. She doesn't do same day servicing, no fridays or weekends! If you want a caring dentist pass on her...the only thing she cares about is driving her benz coupe. The front desk receptionist was super sweet and very caring, thats the only good thing that office has going for them.

I have been going to Dr. Salmeh, since she opened the practice 10 years ago. My opinion is definitely top quality work, at a fair price. She is a Doctor who cares about her patients first, instead of the bottom line, like other Las Vegas Dentist do. If you want the Best, first go see Dr Jafarifar.

Dr J has been my dentist for few months. She's the best dentist/ listener I have ever had . She listens to my concerns and get to the point to fix it . Multiple time I have been to her office as I had deep clean done . I have no fear and let her do whatever it needs to be done . One particular tooth was giving me pain and i reached out to her and bamn it's fixed. I owe you Dr J

Thank you

Dental service where good but the accounting back office is horrible. I had a crown that got denied because of how the office submitted to my insurance. My previous dentist had recommended twice I have a root camel and crown because the tooth was cracked and had several fillings. My dentist said tooth could fall apart if tried to fill. This was the same that preferred recommended. I had the work done and paid the uncovered part then a month later received a bill saying insurance wouldn’t pay. I did some research and talked to the insurance they advised it was the way the claim was submitted that it did not mention a freacture or decay. I contact preferred and advised them they needed to resubmit and include this info which they did and a few weeks later the claim was denied again I talked to insurance and they said there was no new info provided by the dentist. I then called my previous dentist and had them email me there recommendation and X-ray which they provided. I sent to preferred and request the resubmit aspeak again and resubmit. My appeal is currently pending with my insurance but today I got a new bill from preferred for my husb cleaning saying we owe $50 for a cleaning he had apparently a deductible which we do not have a deductible for cleanings. I contact the insurance and they confirmed this is true but the claims was submitted as a deed cleaning. My husband had a deep cleaning the end of last year and we paid $350. The cleaning he recently had was just a refurbished cleaning. My point is this. I have never had a claim denied from my insurance and I’ve had allot of dental work. If you want to go to a dentist where you have to watch the accounting and expect to get bills with notes saying insurance didn’t pay with no explanation then go here. If you don’t want the headache of doing their job go somewhere else and save yourself the stress. Very sad because I felt the services where ok. I hope this help someone. Thanks.
