Fraudulent Dental Diagnosis!!!

I am very disturbed with Dr. Ali Fakhimi's dental practice. I took advantage of a special cleaning/exam consultation for my daughter and received an invoice stating that $420.00 worth of dental work was needed (coded as 2 resin composite 4+ posterior d2394). I do not have dental insurance and stated that I could not afford to have the work done now. Dr. Fakhimi told me to not wait as my daughter's cavities will only become larger and that they were already substantial cavities.  I took my daughter to another dentist who did an xray with a completely different outcome and a bill for $180.00.  One of her cavities was a surface cavity in which novocain was not even given. The other cavity that Dr. Ali Fakhimi stated was  'deep' as he  showed me an enlarged picture of the cavity,  said that it needed to be done immediately. The new dentist who did the work stated that there was 'no' cavity there. While my daughter did indeed have two cavities, one was a little surface cavity, the other was not even a cavity. I do not feel that Dr. Fakhimi is honest and I am grateful to have followed my instincts to get a second opinion. I saved $240.00 by not going to Dr.Fakhimi. After talking to the new dentist that completed the work on my daughter, I felt compelled to report Dr. Ali Fakhimi. I have since looked on Yelp It and noticed several similar complaints. This dentist needs to be held accountable for what he is doing.This is not right!
