I was referred by my brother to visit Dr. Asaf’s office. It was an experience close to none others. The office is very nice and clean, and staff is professional. Dr. Asaf himself is very experienced, has a great persona, and very patient. I got recommended and will recommend the rest of my friends and family to go here for any of their dental needs.

I’ve needed a dentist for a while now. Dr Asaf got me in for an emergency root canal same day– on a Saturday. I honestly hate getting my teeth worked on but Dr Asaf took great care of me. He didn’t over explain the process but answered every question I had. For me, the less I know– the better. Just get it over with fast and painless. Dr Asaf is a really nice guy and I’m definitely going back to him again.

If I could give this office more than 5 stars I definitely would! During the whole process, Doctor Asaf and his team were absolutely amazing. If you are thinking about getting crowns he is actually the one, he is super professional, and highly recommended.
This was the best dental service i have ever received. They are really perfect
I myself don’t personally have porcelain veneers, but after seeing a close friend have Dr. Asaf do porcelain veneers on her front teeth I am so jealous and seriously considering it myself. I highly recommend him.

This practice isn’t event worthy of 1 star because 1 star doesn’t depict an accurate portrayal of Dr. Asaf. I went to Dr. Asaf about a week ago for an emergency filling. It went down hill from the moment I walked in. He greeted me and his assistant showed me to the room. He came in and checked the tooth that needed a filling. It was a small filling on one of my molars.
Fast forwarding to the actually procedure. Basically, all he did was replace my older fillings and didn’t fill my filling, which is why I scheduled the procedure. I even pointed out where the filling was before he began the procedure. He charged me $ 200 just to replace an old filling which isn’t what I went in for. He basically left me with hole on my tooth for about a week until I went back to my primary dentist.
Will definitely not be coming back here ever again.

Dr. Asaf is so nice and helpful, he really made me feel comfortable. I came to him after I had a bad experience with a previous dentist who had not warned me that the bondings on my teeth (I had them on my two front teeth after they were chipped) would look awful after having my teeth whitened. He did a great job correcting the color and they look better than they did before this happened. He fit me into his schedule right away, which was great since I did not want to be asking around with strange looking teeth. I would highly recommend Dr. Asaf!

So pleased with finding this doctor. I called, and he took me the same day. He did a cleaning the same day, and when I asked him if I should whiten my teeth… He recommended I don’t. Most doctors would prefer more money to their pocket, and I truly appreciated his honestly. I’ll be back for fillings, and more services for him and his sweet assistant !

I had an extremely painful tooth on a Saturday morning and Dr. Asaf got me in in twenty minutes, even though I had never been there. He was super helpful. He was very friendly and personable and called to make sure everything was still ok that evening, I’m so grateful he got me in so fast; I don’t think I could’ve dealt with the pain all weekend.

Dr. Asaf is a real professional.
Beside the fact that he is a good man and will do his best to help keep your treatments in a reasonable budget he will do a great job from the start, he will not save on cheap materials and will not cut corners.
I have been with Dr. Asaf for the last 12 years and more and I must say that all the work he did for me and my family never failed.
For those of you that want to take care of any teeth problem once and forget about it now you know where to go.
Thank you very much for a job well done.

A few months ago, I had 2 fillings done with another dentist, and was in pain (that got progressively more severe) for the 2 days following that. We searched for a dentist that was open who could get me right in (on a Sunday afternoon when the pain was unbearable) and Dr Asaf was open! From the moment I walked through the doors, I could tell that the entire staff cared for me and wanted to see my issue resolved. As it turned out, my tooth was infected from the botched job the previous dentist had done. Dr Asaf was able to assess the problem quickly and efficiently, and schedule me for the root canal I needed in the first place! Went back for the root canal today, and they were just as caring and attentive as on my first visit! They really went above and beyond, and make it worth the 30 minute drive to get to their office!

Dr. Asaf and his staff saved my tooth and maybe my life! He took me in for an emergency root canal on a highly infected VERY painful tooth on a Sunday morning. No other offices were open and If I hadn’t found him I know I would’ve ended up in the emergency room. He was able to drain the infection and save my tooth just in time! He was constantly reassuring me throughout the process. He and his staff were warm and friendly to me and made me feel less afraid. After two hours I was free of the pain and very grateful that I had found him. He didn’t even charge an outrageous emergency fee, which I was definitely expecting. This office is quick, efficient, friendly and affordable. You won’t find a more qualified dentist than Dr Asaf. I can’t recommend this office enough!!!

I had an old filling that fell out, leaving a hole in my tooth.
Luckily Dr. Asaf took me in on the SAME day that I called. He was able to save my tooth from a root canal and filled it with a beautiful white filling, (I previously had an amalgam filling).
He talked me through the entire procedure, and made sure I was comfortably numb in the process. I felt I was under the care of somebody who truly cares about his patients.
I will absolutely be returning to Dr. Asaf in the future.
I look good, I feel good, however Dr. Asaf… is GREAT.

Holy cow!!! It’s nearly midnight and I just finished my first and emergency visit. This doctor and his wife are SO NICE! I don’t know How I would’ve survived another painful day of my throbbing toothache. They left their personal family party at 10pm at night to see me. Wow. I feel 100 times better now, they removed a nasty infected old crown and cleaned me up! I’m so grateful for Dr. Asaf and Smile Center. Thank you for your kind heart, I’m sure it will come back 10 fold!
