Mahnaz has a quiet demeanor about her that calms her clients. Mahnaz makes clients feel relaxed and confident during their time together. Mahnaz is also great at communicating with caregivers on what procedures were done, what needs to happen next, etc. I recommend Mahnaz Tayarani for all your in-home hygienist needs.

Due to both physical and mental challenges, it became harder for my partner to visit his dentist. Then when the dentist recommended dental hygiene care visit every 3 month, it was definitely time to seek an alternative to dental office visits. Requesting services from Mahnaz Tayarani was a happy choice.

Mahnaz is kind, caring and compassionate. She showed her kindness to my mother, and to me, while my mother was living at Devon House of Terra Linda Christian Homes in Marin County. The dental care Mahnaz provided was excellent and valuable at a time when my mother could no longer be transported to attend appointments. What I will always remember, though, is Mahnaz treating my mother gently and with respect, encouraging her and listening to her when my mother needed to be heard, and listening to me at one of the most difficult times in our family’s journey. I am so grateful we were referred to her. Thank you, Mahnaz.

Mahnaz is wonderful. My father is non-ambulatory and Mahnaz comes to clean and treat his teeth every three months. She is very good with dad, and he loves her! I don’t know what I’d do without Mahnaz!

Though Walt went without hesitation to the dentist and the dental hygienist, he did this reluctantly. I was concerned when his dementia advanced and he was in a memory care unit. To my delight, he immediately connected with, and was always happy and delighted to see Mahnaz. She made him feel relaxed and seen by relating to him with understanding and on a personal level.
Mahnaz not only provides an important service, she brightens the day for her patients living with dementia.
