TESTIMONIALS
I have been a patient of Dr. Farid Shodjaee for at least eight years. His wit and charm are surpassed only by his exceptional professionalism. I have never had
any problem with any of the dental work that he has performed. He has taken excellent care of my teeth and mouth. I particularly like that he shares both his short-term and long-term objectives with me. He often
asks for my input, seriously regarding my concerns I may have. He has always displayed a warm interest in all areas in my life; concentrating on my total well being - not just as it may concern dentistry. Because of
this I have not hesitated to recommend Dr. Shodjaee to other friends and family. As a matter of fact, I was pleased and eager to take my 5 year old to see Dr. Shodjaee for his very first dental visit. As every
concerned parent can attest, I wanted to ensure that his first experience in a dentist’s chair would be a positive one. I knew that as a devoted family man, Dr. Shodjaee would show my son patience, gentleness and
guidance; and I was right. My son now looks forward to his next visit, and I praise Dr. Shodjaee and his staff for starting my son off on a positive note. (Then again ... Maybe it was the Dr. Seuss movie during the
appointment that did it.)

TESTIMONIALS
Let
this be a testimonial of the health impact that I
(Ian Lawford) experienced after all amalgam ( which
I believe was close to a dozen fillings) was removed
in 2001 when I was 30 yrs old. I am now 35 years
old. For almost a decade prior to seeing Dr Shodjaee
I experienced a daily suite immune responses, such
as fits of sneezing, itchy/watering eyes, and head
aches which were elicited from such things as cats,
dogs, smoke, perfumes, temperature change and
pressure changes. Take offs and landing in airplanes
was very painful. Everyday, at least once, perhaps
twice a day I would medicate with such things as
Claritin and Benadryl. The drugs may have worked
temporarily, although this was not a sustainable
remedy.
Since my amalgam was removed in 2001, within months,
perhaps half a year I noticed significant changes.
Although I still sneeze today, after all it is a
normal immune response, my quality of health is
much better and I no longer experience the
debilitating suite of systems described above. For
the last 3 years I have not taken any drugs
containing pseudophedrin nor have I felt a need for
them.
My
brother has all of his molars filled with dental
amalgam as I did and he experiences the same
sensitivities ( if not worse ) that I did prior to
the complete removal of mercury. It affects his life
so pervasively that before visiting our house, where
we have two cats, he medicates himself with
Benadryl.
The
other testament that I would like to make is the
lack of informed consent surrounding the use of
mercury in my own personal health care. This means
educating clients about the potential for health
risks. Regardless of whether the topic is still up
for discussion or not, the consumer can not make an
informed decision and therefore empowered, until
they a educated. Also, even though I am now aware of
the potential for health risks, I as a consumer
should be able to decide whether I want dental
amalgam used or not. In my sons case this was not
our experience. We were told stainless steel would
be used and we felt fine with that. However, we were
shocked to find most of his teeth filled with
amalgam. We felt very disempowered!!
I
sincerely hope that the
history of hegemony
by doctors and the subjugation of patients continues
to change. It can only lead to better patient care.
Sincerely,
Ian Lawford

Dr. Shodjaee has been my dentist for many years.
Over time, I have had a lot of dental work done including crowns, root canals, and gum surgery. In every case, I was kept informed and given critical assessment options. Dr. Shodjaee’s work is precise and focussed
but he never forgets that a whole person is sitting in that chair. Dr. Shodjaee is a wonderful person and a great dentist. I recommend him without hesitation.
