    U can see a rough appearance and a line going up - where the crack / chip was - this was the tooth repaired
    Jackie D.

    I went to this dentist bc they offer services as : anxiety medication / gas during your dental visit. Unfortunately, I've had my share of awful experiences that have now build a fear of all dentist. My initial visit I was given medication - out of pocket. The medication was given before my appointment and shortly after the dentist wanted to begin. I asked him if he can wait as I was not feeling the effect yet. This dentist seems or always be in a rush. He always ALWAYS recommends higher procedure / work rather than what the patient can pay. He route always seems to be the most profitable, not what's needed. I was very anxious in this visit but the assistant is who kept me calm. I had the first part of a route canal completed - pending 2 other visits. I had to go back just recently, as a filling in the front tooth chipped and I had a wedding to attend and was not going to show up with a Madonna gap :) The doctor again was in a rush. Seems to have very low patience. Worse than that, he of course recommended the highest quality cap available. I asked for the 2nd option. At this time , I was not able to proceed with either bc the wedding was in 2 days. Once he was completed, the "fix" or filling was awful. He did not lay a thin filling to cover or blend the tooth. I can clearly see the line of the crack and it was rough to the touch and the color was awful. I asked if buffed it out or can fix the way it looked and he said I are getting what I paid for which was a temp fix. I've gotten a filling and it's never looked this awful. I paid nearly 400 out of pocket for this and guess what? Not even a month later, the tooth is chipped. This dentist is a rip of and I will never return. The way he made me feel was horrible. The front desk person also saw the tooth and agreed. Sorry for the picture - my mouth was still numb and I don't have amazing teeth. Posting them makes me embarrassed but, I wanted to show what I look like

    I have been going to Dr. Hosena for 25 years now, even when his first office was on Cherry and 3rd in LB. He has been a top notch dentist through my cleanings, fillings, a root canal, last minute appointments for chipped teeth, and the list could go on. As I approached my mid 50's, I realized my teeth had some general wear and tear-and I consulted him about getting zirconia crowns. I considered it a huge gift to myself! So, after he gave me all the information I needed, I started the process. I can't tell you how incredible they look- thanks to him and his team! Special shoutouts to his dental assistant Veronica and Evelin in the front office. See my pics below. If you are searching for a dentist- stop looking. You have found him. You'll be in great hands.

    See sharp edge and space that wasn't there before second crown.

When I finally brought it up here, Dr. Christopher suggested the simplest, most reasonable solution, and I was honestly blown away. The entire fix took about 45 minutes, and the results are incredible. It was one of those things that maybe no one else would notice--but I noticed every day. Seeing it resolved so skillfully and efficiently meant more than I can say. His precision, experience, and problem-solving ability truly impressed me. On top of that, my teenage daughter and I have been coming here for regular cleanings for the past two years, and every visit has been consistently positive. The staff is kind and professional, the hygienists are thorough and gentle, and Dr. Russell always offers knowledgeable, thoughtful recommendations without pressure. This practice is the rare combination of skill, integrity, and genuinely caring dentistry. I'm incredibly grateful to have found Russell J.

    Is Dr. Mendoza aware one of his hygienist is unfit for her job? It appeared the hygienist has a…read moremedical condition that causes her hands to tremble uncontrollably, she also wreaked of urine. She struggled so terribly doing my x-rays, I thought I was on a hidden camera reality show - I was not, but rather trapped in a waking nightmare. During the X-rays I repeated, "This hurts a lot," she just continued to apologize. I thought surely should would not be doing my cleaning, but she did, and every scrape was botched by her trembles. After the cleaning when I saw Dr. Mendoza, I did not know how to address the extreme pain and discomfort the hygienist inflicted on me, she was also sitting in the room next door, and all I wanted to do was leave. I burst into tears as soon as I got home, I was in disbelief over what had just occurred. I will be calling my insurance tomorrow and issuing a formal complaint, and pursuing further with the Dental Board of California.

    I have been a patient of Dr. Mendoza's for a couple of years now. Let me fill you in on my dental…read morehistory. I had not been to a dentist since probably kindergarten or 1st grade. My single parent household did not have much money as I was growing up, so we would only go to the doctor for emergencies. And once I became a working adult, I never had health insurance at any of my jobs. When I finally obtained a job with benefits, I still put off visiting the dentist because I was afraid of the out of pocket costs. I had heard horror stories of out of pocket payments, even with the help of insurance. I knew I couldn't put it off any longer because in 2018 I developed a sizable hole on the top of one of my back molars. I did a lot of research on dentists before I called Dr. Mendoza's office to schedule an appointment. I explained that I hadn't been to a dentist in nearly 30 years. They were very reassuring, and I had an appointment lined up in no time. It was my first time getting dental x-rays, which showed how much damage my tooth was suffering. I would need a root canal, which they would be able to perform right away. Dr. Mendoza was so kind and gentle during the process, and always made sure I was ok and comfortable throughout. He made me laugh, and dispelled any fears I had. He took the time to ask me questions about myself, and get to know me as a person. I was surprised at how painless the procedure was!!! Now that I have had a root canal, I can say I would rather have a root canal than deal with a lot of other things in life LOL! Before the procedure started, April at the front desk brought me the invoice showing how much I would have to pay out of pocket, apart from my insurance coverage. I literally started crying, I was so grateful, because the price was so much less than I had feared! Dental work is not cheap, but it was way more affordable than I had ever imagined! I returned to the office a couple weeks later when my crown was ready, and had it installed. I like to refer to it as my bionic tooth. I have been back to the office regularly for my biannual cleanings. It is always a breath of fresh air to see April, the dental hygienist Teresa, and Dr. Mendoza. They truly treat you like family, and are some of the kindest people I have ever met. I wish all doctors and staff, and people in general, were as wonderful as they are! At the time of my writing this, I recently lost my job. They moved up my next biannual cleaning to see if my insurance would cover it before it ran out. It did not, but again, the out of pocket cost was incredibly affordable. I left the office that day feeling deeply cared for, as I do whenever I leave Dr. Mendoza's office. So even though I don't know when I will have insurance again, I feel good knowing I can still go in for whatever dental care I need. And did I mention they have a zen garden?!? The energy in the office is so calming and serene. The decor is gorgeous, and many of the items you see there have been contributed by Dr. Mendoza's patients. It is my favorite Dr's office by far. If you are scared of the dentist, scared about the cost of dental work, or are just looking for a new dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Mendoza and his incredible team! I truly could not have asked for a better doctor, and am so grateful to have found him! They are THE BEST!
