Our comment from Best Dentists Club about Exton Family Dentistry:
A Trusted Practice Rooted in Long-Term Patient Relationships
Exton Family Dentistry has established itself as a cornerstone of community dental care, earning the loyalty of patients who have been visiting for up to four decades. The practice is widely recognized for its ability to foster deep, familial connections, with many patients describing the environment as feeling like home rather than a clinical setting. This enduring trust is reflected in the fact that entire families, spanning three generations, often choose Exton as their primary dental provider.
Compassionate Care for Anxiety and Special Needs
One of the most frequently cited strengths of this clinic is its gentle, patient-centered approach, particularly for individuals who experience dental anxiety or have special requirements. The team, including doctors Anthony and Shayegan, is celebrated for their patience and empathy. Many reviews highlight how the staff goes out of their way to alleviate fears, ensuring that visits are not only manageable but often enjoyable. The hygienists are particularly praised for their thoroughness and kindness, making the cleaning process comfortable even for those who have had negative experiences elsewhere.
- Specialized attention for nervous or anxious patients.
- Gentle techniques and clear explanations during procedures.
- Accommodating environment for children and patients with special needs.
Professional Expertise and Family-Oriented Service
The dental team delivers a comprehensive range of services, from routine cleanings and preventive care to more complex restorative work such as crowns and emergency treatments. Patients consistently appreciate the doctors' willingness to explain all treatment options clearly, ensuring transparency and informed decision-making. The staff is noted for their efficiency and warmth, with many patients mentioning that they rarely have to wait and are treated with immediate respect and care.
- Comprehensive dental care for all ages.
- Transparent communication regarding treatment plans and expectations.
- Timely appointments and efficient scheduling.
A Welcoming Atmosphere Despite Practical Details
While the physical office is functional, some long-term patients note that the decor feels traditional rather than ultra-modern; however, this is overwhelmingly overshadowed by the quality of care and the genuine friendliness of the team. Whether dealing with a routine check-up or an unexpected dental issue, the consensus among patients is that Exton Family Dentistry prioritizes human connection and professional integrity above all else, making it a highly recommended choice for families in the area.

Fantastic experience: Another friendly quick visit. Thank You
Fantastic experience: Was kind of nervous going to a new practice but Monica, the hygienist, was wonderful and the front desk and Dr. Anthony were kind. The only slight negative was that I was used to a totally modern, light and updated place and the waiting area sure was not. Beyond that - great practice.
Negative experience: I usually don’t write reviews but I felt compelled to for this- I switched dentists when I moved to Exton so I went here. Almost every time I went, they told me I had a cavity. I got one filled, but when I went back again they said I had another. Something in my gut told me this didn’t feel right so I went to another dentist that a family friend goes to. They confirmed that I in fact do NOT have a cavity. Be careful if you choose here. Update: They will claim you are at the 'wrong' office, however this is THE office.
We are sorry the way you feel but we are not sure if you have the right office, we have stellar reputation for our honesty and integrity and we take this very seriously!!
Fantastic experience: I enjoy this family dentistry practice environment. The dental hygenists are always very nice, and so is Dr. Shayegan! I have zero complaints after being a patient for over 3 years.
Thank you Jessica for your comment, we are so glad to have you as a patient!

Fantastic experience: Just wish that Google would quit asking me how I liked my appointment! Dr. Shayagan is a great, hardworking DENTIST, and I appreciate the skill and friendliness of the office staff every time I’m in there for a visit.
Fantastic experience: Great staff and always a great experience
Negative experience: I would give this place zero stars if I could. The medical care might be fine, but the front office staff—specifically the receptionist—is completely incompetent, dishonest, and explicitly discriminatory. Our experience was a disaster from start to finish due to a total lack of transparency and unprofessionalism regarding payments: Bait-and-Switch Pricing: We were explicitly told that the total would be $119 for both my wife and me. Instead, we were charged $119 each. When confronted, the receptionist casually dismissed it as a "mistake" on her part, offering no accountability for the misinformation. Terrible Record-Keeping: I paid the $119, yet they failed to update their system. Now, their records falsely show that I still owe them money. Hidden Insurance Fees: They completely failed to communicate that our insurance limits were exceeded, resulting in an unexpected $240 out-of-pocket charge. When asked for clarity, the receptionist told me I had to contact my insurance myself, without even being able to explain the exact breakdown of the charges they were hitting me with. Harassment and Xenophobia: To make matters worse, when I tried to get clarification on these billing discrepancies, the receptionist resorted to personal and cultural attacks. She harassed me about my background, making the xenophobic comment, "How do you people talk to women in your country?" Banned for Complaining: When we tried to resolve these issues, the management and doctors completely failed us. Instead of apologizing for the blatant discrimination and financial errors, the doctors told us we were no longer welcome to show up at the practice. They retaliated against us for standing up against their front desk's mistreatment. This is hands down the worst front office staff I have ever encountered. Being disorganized with billing is one thing, but weaponizing someone's nationality because you cannot handle a standard billing inquiry is completely unacceptable. Avoid Exton Family Dentistry if you expect honest pricing, proper accounting, and basic human respect.
We take patient concerns seriously and always strive to provide respectful, transparent, and professional care to every individual who visits our office. However, many of the statements made in this review are inaccurate and misrepresent what occurred.
Insurance coverage, deductibles, annual maximums, and frequency limitations are determined solely by each patient’s insurance provider. While we make every effort to provide estimates and explain benefits, insurance companies do not guarantee payment estimates until claims are processed.
In this situation, multiple attempts were made to calmly explain the account and insurance processing. Unfortunately, the conversations became increasingly hostile and inappropriate toward our front office staff. Our team members were repeatedly spoken to in a disrespectful and aggressive manner while attempting to assist with concerns regarding the patient’s wife’s account.
At no point did anyone in our office make discriminatory or xenophobic remarks. We strongly deny those allegations. Our practice treats all patients equally and with respect, and we do not tolerate discrimination of any kind.
Due to the continued hostile communication and inappropriate behavior directed toward our female front office staff, the decision was made to dismiss the patient from the practice. That decision was based solely on maintaining a safe and respectful environment for both our staff and other patients.
We remain committed to providing quality dental care, professionalism, and respectful service to all patients.
Thank you!

Negative experience: I called to make appt. Young ladies not experienced working at desk. Wanted implants on bottom teeth. At my age was pushed around like these two inexperienced techs wanted and I told them get lost. Dr do yourself a favor and get talented skilled at your front desk . You deserve a better rep then this review . In addition after I gave this review the marketing manager Kayla called me only to be mad because I gave this review and she got angry cause I won’t delete the review so she had the local police do a wellness check on me, I am 81 years old and deserved respect from her not her disappointment that she did a poor job. .Please google don’t allow a senior citizen to be threatened.

Fantastic experience: The staff is always friendly and helpful. I was in a bit of pain and they took great care of me. I would highly recommend them for any dental needs.
Fantastic experience: The best dental experience I’ve ever had in my life! The dentist was so nice. The hygienist took her time and was so gentile and checked in with me to make sure I was doing ok. Even though I was only there for a cleaning, they set the tone for the future and I will be going back! I finally found a great one!
Negative experience: Be careful- every time I went, they said I had a cavity. Went to a different dentist who was recommended by a family member and they confirmed I didn’t have cavities. My gut told me something was off and I’m glad I listened.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great experience at Exton Family Dental.

Monica is equally fantastic—friendly, efficient, and welcoming. I really appreciate the quality of care and attention to detail they provide. Highly recommend!

Thanks for your kind words and we hope to see you on your next recall visit.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great experience at Exton Family Dentistry, where I received routine dental cleaning, and more recently, a tooth crown and night guard. Dr. Shayegan is highly knowledgeable and always provides thoughtful recommendations for the next steps. The staff are attentive and genuinely care about their patients. My son also had a positive experience with his dental cleaning. I highly recommend Exton Family Dentistry for their excellent care and professionalism!
Thanks for your kind words, I enjoyed talking and interacting with you son, he is very sweet and intelligent.
Fantastic experience: I've been working with EFD since moving from NYC in 2013. They have excellent service and truly care about their patients. They deserve 10 stars....love this team! Thank you!
Positive experience: What an exceptional dental team! Dr.Anthony and his staff provide excellent dental care. Plus, they put any of concerns to rest. They are very caring. When there, I always feel like I came from being with a friend.
Fantastic experience: Always friendly and accommodating. Doctor takes his time to explain.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient for almost 20 years. Dr Anthony takes wonderful care of my family’s teeth - highly recommend! Great staff too:)
Fantastic experience: I've been coming here a few years for cleanings, cavities, and a crown. They do good work. I used to go to a place in KOP, and their cleanings were not thorough. Much better here. One dentist here not several like the KOP place. I like that too. Dr. Anthony Is great. He does best to make sure you're comfortable.
Fantastic experience: Dr Anthony and his entire staff are professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Appointments are timely and the work they do is excellent. I have been a patient for 15 years and have gladly recommended Exton Family Dentistry to family and friends.
Fantastic experience: They were excellent with my son my new dentist and also the office is very clean Stacy was the one that cleaned my son‘s teeth. She was so excellent with him. Hands-on took very good care of him and made him so comfortable, and the dentist was too and the receptionist was so nice and very helpful
Fantastic experience: Monica is an amazing thorough and gentle hygienist. She keeps a positive demeanor while giving education in a manner that applies to the everyday personal life. I would highly recommend going if anyone is afraid of the dentist or had a terrible experience in the past. I literally laughed so much at my appointment. The dentist is very caring and listened to my concerns and alleviated any anxiety I had about my concerns. The front desk lady is always optimistic and positive when I come in. Even when you visibly see that the office is very busy she stops and takes the time to answer all your questions and doesn't rush. This is hands down the best dental office I have been to.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr. Shayegan for 3 years or so and I am totally pleased with all he does for me! His staff are marvelous people and they make you feel at home and extremely comfortable. I would recommend Dr. Shayegan and his staff for excellent, professional dental services. Pat

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so nice and welcoming and Dr Anthony is a wonderful dentist!
Thank you Alicia!!
Negative experience: Felt compelled to write this after reading other reviews. Every time I went to get my teeth cleaned, they found a cavity with minimal explanation or insights. Additionally, there was little to no effort by the doctor to establish patient care. I felt like a business transaction every time walking in there so I switched dentists. If you are looking for a personable dentist, this is not the place for you. Note for Exton Family Dentistry: Yes, this is the correct office & location for which I am leaving a google review.
Positive experience: Very pleasant staff. The doctor explained my options and pricing very clearly. Actually can’t wait to go back and get started
Fantastic experience: Monica, the dental hygienist, was so gentle and friendly!
Fantastic experience: Such friendly staff that explains everything they are doing.
Thanks for you kind words.

Thank you Elaine for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Shayegan is great! I've been seeing him for over 6 years. Like a lot of people, I am not crazy about going to the dentist, but Dr. Shayegan and Kirsten make every visit more than bearable.
Thank you Michelle for your continuous support.
Fantastic experience: When someone is looking for the best dentistry around ... look no further. Dr. Shayegan and his staff at all levels are outstanding. Many thanks to all of them!
Thank you Joseph for your kind words, we appreciate your support.
Fantastic experience: Dr Shayegan is always very friendly as are his staff. It is a family type vibe in the office and you feel cared for. Highly recommend this practice!
Thank you for your kind words Lauren.
Negative experience: I didn’t have a chance to fill out my intake forms prior to my appointment! I had been in a lot of pain physically and the day before my appointment I buried my uncle! As I’m checking in one lady with blonde hair is giving me my forms, the brunette woman from behind the desk states that she didn’t care how much pain I was in! That it should’ve been done & if I was in that much pain I would’ve had the paper work filled out prior! As if they don’t have paper copies to fill out in the building! I let her know that I heard her & how unprofessional it was because it’s posted no where that I have to complete the forms online only to be seen! They then turn around after she was extremely rude to me and let her take my x rays as tears roll down my eyes. I have a woman who stated she didn’t care how much pain I was in working in my mouth! I was extremely uncomfortable. The other lady at the desk with the blonde hair seen how rude she was being and said she understands some people prefer to fill it out when they get there! I was also there 15 mins early to my appointment to fill the paper work out. I’ve never heard of a dental tech or whatever getting as personal as to say she didn’t care about my pain level due to some intake forms. I also gave my insurance info over for the phone prior so I’m not sure why I was treated like that! I did like the Dentist he was patient and explained everything!
It is our policy to have the New Patient Forms and Health History completely filled before patients can be seen, it maybe inconveniencing but it is mandated by the State regulators.
Fantastic experience: Doctor and staff are good. Great service. I never have to wait in the office.
Thank you very much for your remarks!!
Fantastic experience: First time there they were very friendly, I got waited on right away, i like the atmosphere they made me feel welcomed. I would referred my friends and family.
Thank you so much for your kind words!!
Fantastic experience: Awesome experience with my dental hygienest!!!
Thanks!!
Fantastic experience: As I expected, I had a great experience today at Exton Family Dentistry. I have been coming here for about 25 years. Dr. Anthony is professional, warm, thorough and efficient in his care. Hygienist Rebecca was thorough in her cleaning and examination. I have been coming here for almost 20 years and highly recommend Exton Family Dentistry!
Thanks Natalie, it's been an honor serving you!!

Thanks Felicia.
Fantastic experience: Had a first appm't today (cleaning) -- and it was wonderful! Absolutely EXCELLENT in every single area -- the dentist & staff. I only regret not finding Exton Family Dentistry sooner!!
Thanks Jan.
Fantastic experience: I will soon b 70, and I’ve been to more dental offices than I can count. For the last 10 years, I’ve been going 3x per year cause I seem to need cleaning more often. Dr Anthony is very professional and he runs a well-prganized office. They work with you and your insurance to make sure you understand what you need and avoid unexpected cost surprises. This was my 3rd cleaning appointment with Mikeala. Until I began seeing her for cleaning, I always hated getting that ultrasound spray to remove tartar. And I always experienced great discomfort, evern severe sharp pain 4-6 times with every cleaning. But I have to say, I have not experienced a single episode of this since I started going to Mikeala. Today, for my first time ever, I was actually so relaxed I almosr gell asleep.
Thanks Nate.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great service
Thanks Chris.
Fantastic experience: Very professional. My hygienist, Micaela is excellent
Thanks Marilyn for your kind comment.
Fantastic experience: They are the best!
Thanks Maryam for your kind words.
Negative experience: I switched dentists because of my insurance and started going here. Immediately they said I have 5 cavities (I've only had 1 as a Kid) and all my family members needed work done too (cavities, root canals, etc.). When working on a "cavity" with a drill in my sister's mouth, he said "oops!" We didn't trust it so we went back to our old dentist and they said we were all fine.
Sorry you had a bad experience, unfortunately we haven't seen you or your family since July of 2021, we wonder if your review is for a different office that you visited recently.
Fantastic experience: My dental hygienist was professional and friendly.
Thanks for your comment.
Fantastic experience: Professional, clean, covid conscious and very personable. I will not go anywhere else.
Thanks for your continued support.
