Azadeh is the Best
Because of Azadeh, I actually look forward to my dental appointments. She is a wonderful person and the best dental technician (hygienist). Also the entire practice is first class. I’m so happy I found Locust Street Periodontics.

Excellent!
The staff and periodontist were very kind and took their time to make my very nervous 12 year old comfortable. Dr T made our day and my daughter left smiling from ear to ear!

Great Doctor, really nice staff, total trust
I’ve been a patient of Dr Torosian’s for several years after bouncing around from other docs in center city and he is the best. His credentials are top notch, he takes good care of his patients, he and his staff are down to earth and caring. I have complete confidence.

Recent Visit
As always, I received excellent care by Dr T and Azadeh. Staff is friendly and caring. Except for when it is time to pay my bill, the whole experience is almost painless. Love this practice.
Barbara Mason from Dresher, PA

It’s always a pleasant experience when I visit Dr Sanavi’s office, I’ve had several implants done & had very little discomfort during the procedure. Dr Sanavi takes his time to answer all my questions & explains everything in detail, he also let’s me know what to expect after the procedure. The staff are always friendly, courteous & knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Dr Sanavi to anyone looking for excellent service.
Teresa Doohan from Philadelphia, PA

Pleasantly Pleased
I was referred to this dental office and was not sure what to expect. I have had some (not so good) dental experiences so I can become hesitant. The staff is very friendly, courteous and professional. I felt like they were patient and receptive to me and other patients. The wait time was very short. Once in the back any procedure were fully explained to me and any questions were answered before they started any work. I have been back for two procedures which went very well and healed quickly. The staff encouraged me to call any time if I have any questions or concerns about the procedure no matter how small! Dr T was highly professional and took the time to listen and explain any options you may need. I was very pleased with his work! I would refer this dental practice to others and I will be returning to followup on my dental care. The reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is I did not like that the dental office was in an apartment building. Once inside I was Pleasantly Pleased!

Visit Review
The cleaning by the hygienist (sorry, I didn’t catch her name if she gave it) and assessment by Dr Torosian seemed well done; my care has been very good. My only dissatisfaction is with the practice unfortunately common across medicine of treating advice or reminders as obligations I must carry out. I appreciate advice and reminders but it is my decision what I do or do not do.

Painless stitch removal this time with lots more to come
Absolutely the place to go for oral construction projects. I’ve had at least three gum-tissue skin-grafts there and this is the second tooth extraction/implant Locust Street Periodontics has been involved in. I can’t get enough of it – the place is like chocolate-covered peanuts, Seriously, Azadeh & Shelly (all apologies for any misspellings) & Dr Gian-Grasso & Dr Torosian & everyone else there has been great. But I’d still rather spend my money on chocolate-covered peanuts….

Courteous and accommodating. However needed more clarity on claim for oral surgery procedure. My periodontist was professional and concerned about my dental health. He helped me to understand what was to be expected, I liked that he was honest from the beginning of my treatment.

Wonderful visit
Just had my first visit – a consult with Dr. GianGrasso to see if I’d need grafting on my gum, around a tooth where the tissue had severely receded. The front staff were friendly and efficient: Lori, the dental assistant was superb; Dr. G put my mind at ease with his smarts and experience; and Kim was great when reviewing my insurance and out-of-pocket costs. Can’t recommend this practice enough!

Once again I want to express my appreciation for the courteous and professional service I receive from everyone on your staff.
I want to give a special thanks to Shelly for getting thru some unpleasant procedures with her pleasant conversations.
Great job everyone!

After being told by a few dentists that I needed to urgently see a periodontist and me refusing to do it out of fear, I gave in and started coming to Locust St Periodontics.
Not only have they dramatically minimized and reduced my problems with my gums, but they are all so kind and pleasant that, as much as I dread dental work, I actually enjoy seeing them. And they never make me feel badly if I wait too long to come in – they are a reassuring, comforting group of people.

What do you get when you arrive at this office? Smiles and a friendly greeting to start your visit.
Dr Fuji and the staff are warm, caring, and professional in their work. Every time I leave, I know and understand the results of my visit and our future plan. During my visit I feel I can relax knowing I am in good hands. I appreciate the concern I received regarding the monetary impact of my treatment and the follow up with my insurance and explanation of my procedures.
Thank you for the great service,

Dear Dr Gian-Grasso,
I wanted to be certain to take the time today to commend Azadeh Azad for being such an excellent member of your staff. I’ve been a patient of your office prior to my oral surgery performed on November 18, 1997 and this procedure caused me to stop smoking cigarettes. I’ll never forget that milestone thanks to you Dr Gian-Grasso.
Azadeh Azad has made each and every office visit following that time period of almost 16 years ago to be a very positive and pleasant experience. She’s always very friendly, extremely informative, and helpful in my oral care. With each and every follow-up appointment, I learn more and more about my dental hygiene. Mrs. Azad is the reason why I travel from my work location in Elkins Park, PA to your Center City office. I know it’s more convenient for me to be seen in the Abington area closer in proximity to work; however, Azadeh makes it worth my while to travel downtown.
Her demeanor is always positive and her working knowledge is outstanding. Please share this letter with your colleagues. Thanking you in advance for your time and attention to this matter. I am
Sincerely,
Ruby S.

Dr Joseph Gian-Grasso and Assoc,
As a patient of Periodontics Dentistry, specifically of Azadeh Azad, I have had nothing but positive experiences. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. Azadeh Azad has always been friendly, courteous and professional. She takes the time to treat her patients effectively. She values her patient’s time, meeting them at the time of their scheduled appointment. I have always been satisfied with the results of the services that were provided by Azadeh Azad and would recommend her without hesitation to prospective patients.
Sincerely,

This is my 3rd visit here. The two young ladies that did scaling of my teeth did a fabulous job and were very sensitive to me and pain. They were kind, patient, and always asked me if I was OK. Not only were they kind, complimented each other. They know what they are doing and did it well.

Hello!
I would like to “thank” Dr Gian-Grasso and his Assistants/Staff for the “excellent” customer service during my 4 (sides) of Osseous Surgery. Everyone was so, so nice and helpful during my visit!
The front office staff always greets you with a smile (which makes a “nervous patient” so relaxed). But the most special care was Dr Gian-Grasso – he is so wise and experienced and knows his job and delivers great expertise! I didn’t feel any pain during the procedure. (Smile)
Also, thanks for the telephone call after the procedure and checking up on me!
Thank You, Thank You and I’ve already recommended my co-workers to this office. Have a great Day!

Dear Dr Gian-Grasso:
I wanted to express my thanks and pay tribute to Azadeh S. Azad, RDH. Since I began coming to your office as a patient, with each visit I have received the highest level of care from Ms. Asad. She always Demonstrates the highest level professional demeanor and I am treated at all times with the greatest of respect and kindness.
Because I suffer from two chronic diseases (Systemic Lupus and Scleroderma), my dental hygiene is extremely important, and Ms. Azad makes sure that I am fully instructed in proper dental care and how to watch out for any problems which could occur as a result of my health concerns. And I greatly appreciate her efforts. She is the exact type of health care provider a patient wishes for.
Please let Ms. Azad know this patient greatly appreciated all of her efforts. If possible, please provide her with a copy of this letter or at least, place it in her personal file.
Best regards,
Karen vW.

Dear Dr Rosenberg,
A new year has started, and I am reminded and am grateful that I have a full mouth of my original teeth. I credit Azadeh with making this possible. She is a gem and I actually look forward to my monthly appointments with her. Your practice is so fortunate to have her. I am sure that all your patients feel the same way. Not only is she an excellent hygienist, but also, she is caring and kind.
She is a jewel in your practice. Just had to write and tell you that.
Very Truly Yours,

As for the discount plans affiliated with Locust Street Periodontics, there are two that I’m researching; when I find the one that’s beneficial to me, I shall switch and inform Karen. Personally, I hope to continue seeing you as you made me feel very comfortable (added bonus for not exclaiming “OOF”, at least while I was there!)
I will be in contact very soon, have a great rest of the week. Please give my thanks to Karen, Jessica and Michelle for their hospitality.

I would like to commend Dr Torosian for his professional mannerism and most pleasant attitude. I have always been afraid right before my appointment in anticipation of the pain. With Dr T, I have never had pain and he makes me laugh and feel so comfortable, I forget all about the pain. The staff is wonderful and a friendly environment. I would highly recommend my family and friends.
Thank you, you’re the best.

I recently had an exam and cleaning appointment at your periodontal office. I was served by Azadeh. I was helped to feel very comfortable during this encounter. Ms. Azad was Welcoming, professional, and friendly. She examined my mouth carefully and as she worked, let me know it was clear that I was keeping my mouth really healthy. This praise was important for me to hear and it encourages me to continue good dental self-care. Working with Ms Azad was a good experience.

I recently had 2 implants done by Dr Gian-Grasso and could not be happier with the whole experience. I put this surgery off for 11 months due to my fear of having it done and it was not necessary. I had some discomfort (strongest word I can use) only, after the surgery

In my honest opinion from what I have seen and heard from my doc (Dr Torosian), I think he is the best dentist that I have been to, to date. I’ve been to a few over the years and so far he’s been the best. Reason being, to me is he’s communicative to his patients about what’s going on and what you can and cannot do and very friendly about it; which makes me have trust and confidence in him. I feel comfortable in his presence and I feel the exact same way about Melice, his assistant. She always makes me feel warm and welcome and gives me very good service everytime I come.

Dr Sanavi,
I would like to Thank you for making my experience at your office a pleasant one. All of the staff in the reception area were kind, compassionate and very helpful. I appreciate all of the help and support that everyone gave to me. Once I reached the back work area, you and Melice quickly made me realize that I made an excellent choice by coming to your office. I thank you both for the education, the gentleness, the compassion and most of all the patience. I would highly recommend this office and your, Dr Sanavi to anyone in search of a caring dentist. I only wish I had come to you sooner! I am however very happy that I found you now. You truly have helped me get over my fear of dentists. Your kindness has erased all of the previous bad experiences. Thank you and please thank all of your wonderful staff.

Dear Dr Gian-Grasso,
I would like to way thank you for your excellent bedside manner. I am usually apprehensive at the dentist office, but your staff (especially Michelle, Mel & Tracy) and yourself made the experience pleasurable. Now I wouldn’t go as far to say that I am looking forward to my next visit, as I am getting a molar extracted, but I will say that I am comforted by the fact that I know I will be in good hands with you and your staff.
Thanks again.

I had a bad experience in another office with the same issue of bacteria that I am experiencing now. The other office did not explain in very good detail what my next steps were (my options) and what I could expect. The scaling procedure was painful and very uncomforting. The doctor wanted to perform a procedure not necessary for the treatment of my bacteria.
This office was a complete opposite. I was well informed financially and about what would happen during my visits. The doctors were very comforting and answered all questions and genuinely cared about helping me resolve my issue.

I have been attending this dental office for approximately three years or so. When I began services here, I did not completely understand the severity of my oral health. Like many patients, I was initially reluctant to undergo the necessary procedures to rectify my issues.
Via the professionalism, patience, and education I received at this office, I felt so comfortable and informed about the procedures I would require. Ever since the completion of the first procedure, I knew that I was at the best dentist office any patient could ask for. Several years later, I continue to have my dental needs addressed by the kindest, most professional, and qualified staff anywhere. I highly recommend this office, and the staff here.
Looking forward to my next visit!

Although I abhor invasive procedures, Dr Fuji’s prep time with me, explaining what I was to expect and the time it would take, allowed me to feel at ease. His professional touch just enhanced my experience of “it really wasn’t as bad as I thought”. Dr Fuji is alright with me.
As for my hygienist, Shelly, I couldn’t ask for nor would I expect a more personable and professional individual to have worked on my mouth. She reminds me of a down to earth, make yourself at home, kind of gal, that eases her professionality on you. She makes my stay an enjoyable one.
The front desk staff always has a smile and congenial attitude coming and going.
I would highly recommend the office of Drs Gian-Grasso, Fuji, and Walker to anyone.
