He is incredibly patient, professional and detail oriented. He takes the time to explain things as well. It makes you feel comfortable and confident in his care. I truly recommend this office to anyone looking for top quality, dental care from the making of your appointment by the friendly staff upfront to the end where you come out smiling.

I was very disappointed to find out that the office policy (not legally required under CA law) was…read morerequiring my wife to have x-rays in order to have a teeth cleaning. She received them at their office two years prior, and is not covered by my insurance. When I told them I was a patient for several years, and asked them to forego the x-rays as a courtesy because we are enduring financial hardship with a newborn - the receptionist who was pleasant put me on hold to ask someone. She soon came back and told me NO, and x-rays would $319. SEEMS LIKE THIS PLACE IS THINKING ABOUT THEIR OWN FINANCIAL GAIN, INSTEAD OF THEIR LOYAL PATIENTS. I can appreciate that ADA guidelines recommending x-rays every 2 years, but certainly you would think exceptions could be made (well not at this place). I'm really considering canceling my next appointment, and going to a place that BOTH me and my wife can go to, and who appreciates our business. They obviously are doing so well that no exceptions can be made surrounding their absurd x-ray policy. I've never heard something so absurd and have had x-rays waived at several other dental offices in the past. If it's a "liability" thing have patients sign a waiver. This kind of stuff really pisses me off...

First consultation and I'm met with a lady after who parks me in a side room with a consultation. Prior to this the dental hygienist repeatedly told me "we won't sell you on anything you don't need." After the preliminary x-rays the hygienist went in to look at my gums. You know when they throw a number for root planing this guy was throwing up 4s, 5s, and 6s in milliseconds. All of a sudden I have horrible gum disease I never thought I had. The lady giving me a "dental plan" of $2000+ after insurance was telling me of how many state of the art laser interrogations I needed that insurance wouldn't cover at all. Fast forward to my dental cleaning. Btw I have to pay out of pocket a significant amount bc "I have gum disease now". They numbed me up so bad I couldn't go back into work. I had 2 sessions of periodontal scaling and root planing. The first lasted 30 minutes. The second lasted 15 minutes. These should have gone for an hour and a half. I went to a new dentist who told me none of what this dentist stated was accurate. This Origin Dentist after my first visit asked me to write a 5 star review. I can't believe how many chumps are going to write 5 star reviews because of the hip music and reed diffusers make them feel like this is a good honest dentist when clearly there's very little integrity here. Worst dentist I've ever gone to.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Shah and his team. The level of care they provide is top notch! Dr. Shah is not one of those shady dentists who tries to upsell and profit off their patients. I completely trust him with my dental care. He lets me know what he sees as concerning and will be keeping an eye on and always answers any questions I have. Dr. Shah also does a great job of explaining what might need to be done in the future and what my insurance will cover so I can plan for it. Today I chipped my front tooth and was able to come in same day to have a filling put in. I left the office in happy tears because my front tooth looked so good and it was all done so quickly. The team at Sorrento Smiles is amazing. From scheduling, figuring out insurance, communication, and treating you like family. I am so happy I found them!

I've had all my cleanings done here, got my Invisalign here, and even brought in my boyfriend and my mom for theirs. Today, I couldn't make my appointment because I'm swamped with work and asked to reschedule. They said no -and that I'd be charged a $65 rescheduling fee. I asked if it could be waived, and they refused, saying it had already been waived once... back in 2021 (over four years ago!). I asked if I could speak to someone else about it, thinking that after 5 years of loyalty, thousands of dollars spent, and multiple referrals I brought in, they might show some understanding. But no -- Ray doubled down and even told me I was "bad for business." And that's why is the primary reason why this review exists. Very very unfortunate because I really liked going there which is why my family and I went there. However, this is how they treat long-term patients. If you want a dentist's office that values loyalty, empathy, and basic respect- look elsewhere! After five years of commitment to this dentist office, they lost me and my family over a $65 rescheduling fee. That says everything. Do yourself a favor and find a new dentist office, at least one that gives a crap. My goodness!

Because they use the best possible equipment in dentistry, they have optics on whats going on in my mouth that my traditional dentist apparently doesn't. Through this comprehensive consult, they discovered a pretty big abscess/infection in the back right of my bottom jaw through a CT scan in a tooth that apparently doesn't have any nerve pain currently. (I would never have known! Not even my dentist saw this with traditional x-rays. What the heck!!??) Jennifer and I discussed a treatment plan to address ALL concerns and I just realized, through her help, that the incredibly severe Trigeminal neuralgia (facial nerve) pain that had me in tears a few years ago over the course of 3 months that NO DENTIST or root canal specialist could explain and that disappeared just as fast as it appeared. It was highly likely related to the abscess that they discovered last week because of the specialized equipment and overall focus they have on addressing issues from many angles. My body was crying out for help 3 yrs ago after God knows how many years of that infection being there and no one could explain except for this practice. I want to cry. So grateful to now make it all make sense. Highly recommend their expertise! They truly are "comprehensive."
