Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure visiting Dr. Ghafourpour!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ghafourpour is an artist! I chipped my front two teeth and searched my area for a cosmetic dentist. On NextDoor I found glowing reviews for her practice. I am about to marry two close friends and as the officiant I really needed these teeth addressed. I went in for an initial evaluation and we created a plan for the next week. Well, last Friday I went in and she took her time and did an amazing job. In fact everyone there in the office was amazing from Jill the receptionist who listened to my needs and found a way to get in on time, to Dr Ghafourpour's assistant, this is a special place. Dr Ghafourpour has such good attention to detail. Once there she found a few other areas to address, which added some to the cost naturally, but it was so worth it. I truly could not be happier and give this practice the highest of all recommendations. See photos, and see the difference! Go with confidence! Update: I felt compelled to update my initial review of Dr. Gharfourpour due to her continued exceptional service. I find her entire office to be fantastic. The office is clean, cheerful, and well-run. In my 50 plus years of going to a dentist. Dr. Darya is the best. Her attention to detail and skill are unparalleled. She utilizes the latest technology, but only if it makes sense after diligent research. Speaking of research, she continually updates her education on the latest breakthroughs in her field. Her manner is so gentle that I have referred a few people to her who have significant dentistry fears, and they have all followed up with me with deep gratitude for the referral due to her gentle touch and skill. The highest of recommendations!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ghafourpour is a fantastic dentist. She is extremely gentle, wants to connect with her clients and is genuinely interested in their lives. Dr. Ghafourpour is someone I travel 25 miles to see because she is outstanding. She is everything you can want in a dentist...kind, gentle, never hurts the patient, has a great sense of humor, never pushes unnecessary procedures on you, and is great at her job. Don't hesitate to contact her...you can thank me later!

Fantastic experience: Great dentist, awesome staff. I highly recommend Dr. Ghafourpour

Fantastic experience: Updated review (February 2026): I continue to be extremely thankful to be in Dr. Ghafourpour's expert care. In a recent routine visit, Dr. G noted that there was a crack in an ancient filling. I had no symptoms -- no pain, no sensitivity to heat or cold, but if Dr. G hadn't caught it, chances are good I'd have needed a root canal or worse, an implant, if the old tooth cracked as the filling gave way. Instead, I'm getting a crown -- not a lot of fun, but a whole lot better than the alternatives. Dr. Ghafourpour and her excellent staff got me through the first, long appointment (to remove the old filling and place a temporary crown in place) without any pain and with calm efficiency. This certified dental wuss couldn't be more grateful! I'll be headed back in a couple of weeks to get the permanent crown installed. Thank you, Dr. G and Nhi! Updated review (July 2024): It's now been more than a year since I became a patient of Dr. Ghafourpour and, based on multiple appointments, I want to reaffirm what a great dentist she is -- skilled, careful, gentle, helpful, and with a great sense of humor. Ditto her entire staff. A modern practice, spotlessly clean and well organized -- and works with one's dental insurer. I remain so grateful to have found this practice and highly recommend Dr. G to anybody needing a new dentist! When my beloved dentist of many years retired, I was searching for a new dentist and eventually found Dr. Ghafourpour. I'm so grateful to have her as my dentist -- she is superbly skilled, extremely gentle, and incredibly kind. I don't make recommendations lightly, but I highly recommend Dr. Ghafourpour to anyone with teeth! I'd also like to add that her office manager and dental assistant are equally wonderful, welcoming, and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Great visit. Calm environment. Everyone there is very friendly and professional ❤️

Fantastic experience: From the warm greeting by office manager, Jill, to the gentle x-rays and cleaning by Nhi, to the reassuring examination by Dr. Darya and the comfortable and attractive office space, I enjoyed my visit to my new dentist, Dr. Ghafourpour.

Fantastic experience: I know i’m in good hands with Dr. Ghafourpour . She has a gentle touch, is always on time and explains everything in detail. Her team is great and i love the new office. I moved to San Francisco a couple of years ago and still drive to San Rafael for appointments.

Fantastic experience: Great dentist and wonderful staff.

Fantastic experience: Personally, I have never dreaded going to the dentist. Now that that’s out of the way, Dr. Ghafourpour is most excellent! I have been a patient of hers for about 8-10 years now and I plan on staying with her for as long as I am in the area.

Fantastic experience: The best!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best. She's super knowledgeable, personable, and clearly loves what she does. She has taken care of my whole family (myself, my wife, and three kids) for nearly a decade and we couldn't be happier.

Fantastic experience: So gentle and kind.. always had a great experience with Dr. Ghafourpour!

Fantastic experience: We are moving out of the country and one of the things I am going to miss most is Dr. Ghafourpour. My wife and I have been so fortunate to have Darya as our dentist for more than 20 years! We have recommended her to many of of our friends and neighbors. We all agree that her experience and practice is incredible. Also, Jill at the front desk is so nice and professional. I only say professional because she is so great at her job. I always look forward to seeing her and I am going to miss her as well. If you are looking for a thoughtful, experienced, caring person who is dedicated to her profession, look no further. Darya Ghafourpour is fantastic!

Fantastic experience: When you have such a gentle, friendly and professional dentist, it's not hard going to see her at all. Thanks Dr. Darya

Fantastic experience: Like a lot of people, I have always had a fear of dentists. While it is still not my favorite thing to do, my fear has evaporated under the care of Dr. Ghafourpour. She is indeed the "gentle dentist" She clearly communicated what she is doing while constantly checking in with her patients to be sure they are comfortable I have been golng to her for years and totally trust her. Bonus: her staff is delightful and every bit as sweet as she is! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I've been afraid of dental visits all my life but have never felt more relaxed than I did yesterday in Dr. Ghafourpour's office. I'll be certain to recommend her to any dentophobics I encounter.

Fantastic experience: Darya is the absolute best dentist I've ever been to. She's incredibly smart and cares about each client and creatively thinks of ways to help you as an individual. She has treated my family for 3 generations. Jill, her receptionist, is the best as is all the techs and others that work there. She books very far out but that's because she is worth it. Jill is great at emailing/texting to alert you for last minute canceled appts for if you want to be seen sooner.

Fantastic experience: Gentle thorough 100 percent satisfied.

Fantastic experience: An excellent dentist, lovely staff and a beautiful view of the gardens from the dental chair!

Fantastic experience: I adore Dr Ghafourpour! Kind, loving, gentle. I always look forward to seeing the dentist. Thank you Dr. Ghafourpour!!

Fantastic experience: All of the staff were friendly and kind. The care was provided in a very thorough way with communication about the process and how I was reacting. I felt very good about the quality of care!

Fantastic experience: Everybody hates the dentist ... except Me :) Well, all of Dr Ghafourpour’s patients seem to love her, especially me! We’ve all heard the term “gentle dentist” and for most practices it feels like just a marketing term - for her it’s the foundational precept of her work. Afraid of the dentist? I was. She is the solution! Want to feel like you’re getting the best care possible from people who genuinely care about you? This is the dental practice for you :) I’ve been a patient, a happy patient, for 5+ years ... just had a cleaning this morning and I’ll be back for another :)

Fantastic experience: Hands down, this was one of the most exceptional dental experiences I’ve ever had—professional, thorough, and truly reassuring.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Gharfourpour, and her staff run a wonderful dental office! From the minute I walk in to the minute I walk out, I was actually happy to be there! Dr. Gharfourpour,'s whole goal is how best to take care of her patient. The entire time I was there I was never in any discomfort, she collaborated with me as to what I did or didn't feel comfortable doing and I really appreciated her concern as well as the support from her team. Many thanks!

Fantastic experience: Dr Ghafourpour always does a fantastic job of taking care of my teeth & gums! She's recommended many great methods to maintaining my dental health.

Fantastic experience: Dr Darya is *the most amazing* dentist I have ever been a patient of…and I have met with MANY. Too many to count. She knows how sensitive my teeth are and she is attentive to every last detail. She loves what she does and it shows in the gentle care and consideration she consistently provides for all of her patients. Thank you Dr Darya for being so AWESOME!

Fantastic experience: Just had my check-up and teeth cleaning. Dr Darya is incredibly nice and gentle as always. Her staff is also kind and efficient. I'm lucky to have her as my dentist.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Dr. Ghafourpour and her team. I look forward to going to the dentist and I am not clinically insane. Jill is an absolute gem and a booking wizard. Dr. G's dental assistant, her name escapes me currently, is always so pleasant and helpful. Now, Dr. Gharfourpur, she is amazing! From the incredibly clean and calming environment, to her chairside manner and dental artistry, there aren't enough stars on this scale to fairly represent her.

Fantastic experience: The office manager was extremely pleasant and helpful. I was an emergency case and am grateful Dr Ghafoupour fit me in. She was extremely kind, informative and willing to perform additional work I inquired about after taking care of the initial problem. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Such a nice office, with the sweetest people, and amazing dental work . I really like going to Dr. Ghafourpour, the receptionist is the nicest most helpful gentle person, the hygienist is so conscientious and thoughtful, and my teeth look and feel great.

Fantastic experience: Excellent dental services for a number of years. Prompt attention and clean environment.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional place to visit for your treatments , Convenient location and a wonderful service . Place looks great Thank you Dr. Darya G. Ghafourpour,

Fantastic experience: I drove down from Grass Valley to see Dr. Darya! I hadn't had my teeth cleaned since the world went on lockdown & I could have found a new dentist where I live now... But, with Dr Darya I know I will always get an honest affordable opinion. Thank you so much!! I drove down again to get some cavities repaired. It is such a blessing to work with a dentist that feels safe!! Feeling So Grateful!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff and skilled and empathetic dentist. The best!

Fantastic experience: I love the personal every one its friendly and Dr.Darya really care about your dental health!!for me they are the best!

Fantastic experience: Excellent first impression. Most comprehensive exam I've ever gotten from a dentist anywhere. Latest x-ray technology enabled me to see exactly what the problems were that Dr. Ghafourpour found. I'm confident my teeth will soon be in much better shape once the fixes have been completed.

Fantastic experience: I continue to be a fan of her practice, because she's really thorough and calm. Every procedure goes well. One of my family members is really anxious, and even he says it's a good visit when he comes for an appt. Highly recommended. The whole staff is great (Hi Jill).

Fantastic experience: She is the best in Marin. So gentle and caring, don't feel a thing! Love to catch up with her every time I visit!

Fantastic experience: I just had another enjoyable deep ultrasonic teeth and gum cleaning today and then the hygienist followed up and polished and fossed my teeth. I was in the chair for almost an hour. This is very complete and thorough cleaning performed by Dr. Darya Ghafourpour DDS. I have been a patient for more than 10 years. I get periodontal ultrasonic deep cleaning and teeth cleaning and polishing. I feel pressure in my mouth but no pain at all. Anyone who is squeamish or fearful will be so surprised because this is not painful at all. If it is painful they can give you this liquid to swish around and then your mouth is numb so you do not have to suffer at all. It is thorough and all the latest state of the art technology and equipment is used. I feel so blessed, so lucky to have found Dr. Darya Ghafourpour who takes such good care of my teeth and my gums. If you are noticing blood when you brush your teeth or if you are feeling pain when you brush your teeth then you really need to go to a dentist before you lose your teeth and get this gum disease and inflammation taken care of professionally and expediently by Dr. Darya Ghafourpour. A person with bleeding gums, inflammation can get an infection that travels to their heart. The whole health of a person can be impacted by ignoring and not treating and not stopping the progression of gum disease. I can't say enough how much I like going to Dr. Ghafourpour. She is top notch and an expert in her field. When COVID came she incorporated all this COVID prevention equipment into her office and protocol and I have total peace of mind about going to the dentist in these times we now live in. I am so happy to recommend Dr. Darya Ghafourpour.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ghafourpour is an absolute angel! I used to be afraid to go to the dentist, but now I look forward to seeing her and getting my teeth taken care of so gently.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr. Ghafourpour! She is extremely thorough, gentle, intuitive, and kind. Also… an artist with cosmetic work! I feel like I’m in great hands in her practice.

Fantastic experience: Jill, Dr.Ghafourpour and her assistant all are always friendly and professional.

Fantastic experience: I am not a writer of reviews-and generally bristle at being asked, however, I am such a fan of Dr. Ghafourpour. I found myself with two teeth extractions, a mini-mouth and no dentist, having just moved to CA. She and her staff were a respite in a sea of uncertainly and a whole lot of boxes. Subsequently, she has gotten and placed my new tooth on an implant, despite my mouth being the size of a child. The office cheered when she finished. Her very purposeful approach to my dental care from cleaning my teeth herself to the careful measurement and watchful eye on my gums is both refreshing and reassuring. I feel fortunate to be in her care.

Fantastic experience: Conscientious dentist and staff who provide a thorough dental exam and cleaning in a comfortable and safe environment.

Fantastic experience: dr g is an artist. she is kind, gentle, and the most professional dentist i have ever known.

Fantastic experience: This dentist is what you have been looking for if you want top notch skills, gentleness, kindness, and humanness. Her staff is also awesome.

Fantastic experience: Dr Darya and her staff are all absolutely wonderful. This is by far the best dental experience I have ever had. Dr Darya always takes the time explain her findings and always takes care to explain the pros and cons and potential cost of all of the treatment options. This is the right way to run a medical/dental service business!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding patient care. Gentle, kind, and skilled. I’m crazy phobic and Dr. Ghafourpour handles me just right. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Finally! I have found an honest, caring dentist that I feel safe and comfortable with. The office is calm, organized, and very friendly. I am so happy to have found Darya! I will recommend my family and friends.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ghafourpour has been my dentist for years. She is friendly, fair, competent, and meticulous. It's a pleasant experience every time!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Darya Ghafourpour is simply the BEST! I have always been hesitant about going to the dnetist after a horrible orthodontist experience, and Dr. G has taken all my worries away with her care and treatment. One thing that I appreciate is her gentle touch, her kindness and always paying attention to my concerns!

Fantastic experience: Super kind staff who show sincerity and always welcome me with open arms and the sweetest regards. The front desk, nurse/in-between technician and Dr/dentist have been nothing but wonderful to work with and be a patient of. I could not recommend this dentist office anymore as they are truly amazing and wonderful people who care about their patients health and wishes every time we interact. This review is not sponsored and for reference I almost never write reviews, this is how amazing they are as an organization/experience as a whole, never a bad visit. Much love to every staff member there and please be respectful as I wouldn't wish a bad customer upon them in my lifetime!!!

Fantastic experience: Everyone in this office is the best. I’ve been afraid of dentists all my life and I’ve never afraid when I go here. If you postpone going and then feel weird about reappearing, call this office. This is a shame-free, warm, and highly competent group. Dr. D takes time to figure out what works best for you, including options and referrals that align with your aims. Nhi is efficient, yet anticipates when something might be uncomfortable for you. Jill is an expert at managing everything, including working with insurance, sometimes determining coverage before you arrive and communicating with referral staff. They go the extra mile here. Great combo of genuine warmth and expertise.

Fantastic experience: Quiet and easy office. Always on time. Wonderful dentist who does all her own cleanings!

Fantastic experience: Best dental experience in Marin. Extremely organized, clean office with seemingly brand new everything. Dr. Ghafourpour creates a uniquely relaxing environment for patients and is very gentle.

Fantastic experience: We have been patients for 12 years now. The office staff is so professional and polite. We feel lucky to have such a wonderful dentist!

Fantastic experience: Great service. I would highly recommend to anyone who is apprehensive about visiting the dentist.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful care! I appreciate the attentive communication, gentle work and frequent checking in to affirm comfort.
