  Avoid Acahti, specifically Dr.Oberly. I went in for a checkup/cleaning. He overdiagnosed and misdiagnosed my teeth drastically. After seeing him, I was very skeptical of his diagnosis, as I have no history of tooth health problems, and I cancelled future appointments until I received a second opinion. I also was suspicious of the screen and camera used to show patients the inside of their mouths. What is the purpose besides convincing patients of treatments theyd normally be skeptical of? Most people are not at all capable of using the images to form an expert opinion. That is why we go to the dentist.
  
  The second dentist I saw did not at all corroborate his assessment or diagnosis. Instead of potentially thousands of dollars of work proposed by Oberly, I simply had a very minor cavity filled that, were I not scheduled to leave the country for an extended period soon, I would have chosen to address by adjusting my brushing and flossing habits to assist in the tooth's regeneration. Currently my tooth is doing just fine.
  
  His misdiagnosis would have also meant ignoring a real problem (pointed out by the second dentist) in addition to lots of work on imaginary problems.
  
  While this is only one case, it seems to fit into the overall pattern of problems cited in other reviews. In sum, play it safe and avoid this dentist.
