Who Are the Dentists at Urgent Dental Relief?

Dr. Okba Jahjah and Dr. Mohamad "Moe" Hariri founded the practice together. Both treat emergencies every week, and both believe a patient in pain deserves a careful exam, an honest explanation, and treatment that starts today when possible.

Dr. Okba Jahjah

Co-founder · DDS · 25 years of experience · Former university dental faculty

Dr. Jahjah brings both technical precision and a calm, unhurried chairside manner to every visit. Patients often say they feel truly listened to, and that his gentle, methodical approach makes even complex procedures feel surprisingly manageable. His philosophy is simple: get you out of pain today, explain every option in plain language, and treat every patient the way he would want his own family treated.

Dr. Mohamad "Moe" Hariri

Co-founder · DDS · Author of The Dental Commandments

Dr. Hariri is the author of The Dental Commandments and brings a deep commitment to doing right by the patient into every appointment. He is known for taking the extra time to numb thoroughly, walk patients through exactly what they are about to feel, and never rush a visit. Whether you are here for a simple extraction or full-mouth rehabilitation, expect honest guidance on your options, transparent conversation about cost, and a personal follow-up call the next day to make sure you are healing well.

What Makes Their Approach Different?

They slow the visit down. You get honest guidance about what actually needs treating, transparent pricing before work begins, thorough numbing, an unhurried appointment, and a follow-up call the next day after surgery.
