Very little discomfort and she has small hands! The front of the house staff did a great job at getting all the t's crossed and i's dotted. Thanks to them all and I highly recommend any one having a root canal to check them out.

When our family dentist recently stopped accepting an employee sponsored insurance plan, we decided…read moreto try Glendale Modern Dentistry. The experience did not go well! I am sharing my story to inform others that they can find better oral care elsewhere. In mid-June, I went for my first check up and cleaning at Glendale Modern Dentistry. Upon arrival, I learned that required, pre-appointment forms had not been emailed. As a result, I would have to complete them before my appointment. No tablet computer was provided, so I was left to fill out the forms on my personal cell phone. The task was made more difficult due to a lack of internet service in the office. I was told to connect to Dunkin' Donuts WiFi, which again had a poor signal. Eventually, I stood outside in the 100+ degree heat to complete the series of forms. Next, an extensive set of X-rays and photographs taken. Then I was escorted to an exam room where the hygienist hurriedly performed periodontal charting. I attempted to explain that I was very anxious, and usually the hygienist numbs my mouth to avoid discomfort that occurs during my cleaning. The hygienist seemed to lack empathy, and told me that she would prefer to try doing the cleaning without a local anesthetic first. Next the dentist reviewed the X-rays with me, indicating that I have no cavities. When the time finally came for my cleaning, the hygienist refused to perform the service unless I agreed to the following additional procedures: - Scaling and Root Planing -Adjunctive Pre-Diagnostic Test that aids in detection of mucosal abnormalities -Fluoride Varnish -A laser treatment (which she eventually admitted was unnecessary) Again I explained that I was very anxious, and that for this first visit I simply wanted a local anesthetic with a standard teeth cleaning. It was important that I gain confidence and establish trust in the hygienist's quality of care. The hygienist repeatedly refused to do a basic teeth cleaning unless I agreed to the additional procedures, so I eventually left the office without my 6-month cleaning. Of course now my insurance has now been charged approximately $1700 for the X-rays and exam, and I am left without the routine cleaning for which the appointment was intended. At the same time, my young-adult son was being seen in another exam room. This a young man who takes good care of his teeth and has had routine dental appointments every 6 months his entire life. His experience resulted in an out-of-pocket charge of $85 for an unneeded deep cleaning. The hygienist also recommended he get a laser treatment, but eventually said that it could be done at a follow up visit instead. Glendale Modern Dentistry is not interested in quality health care. They seem to be much more focused on up-charging people for unnecessary services. Save yourself the inconvenience and expense by going elsewhere!

I have been coming in to this office for about 11 years now. Back then it was with Dr Frost, but…read morenow it's Dr Salinas there who is also amazing. The staff is great they make you feel very welcomed which is great. Today I went in for some fillings, I'm usually very nervous to have needles anywhere near me, but Dr Salinas was so gentle I didn't even feel when he gave me the injection for the anesthetic. The whole process for my fillings was fast and painless. I definitely recommend Dr Salinas.

I generally avoid writing reviews for medical or dental offices because I understand that delays…read morecan happen, and I try to give providers the benefit of the doubt. However, I believe it is important to share my experience with this dental office due to significant scheduling and communication concerns. I arrived early for my appointment on Wednesday, January 22, 2026. The technician who assisted me was kind, professional, and attentive, but I waited nearly an hour in the chair without ever being seen by the dentist. I understand that offices can run behind, but no one communicated the extent of the delay, and I had another medical appointment I could not miss. When I informed the receptionist that I needed to leave, she attempted to charge my insurance for the X‑rays. I explained that although the X‑rays were taken, the dentist never saw me because the office was extremely behind schedule. Rather than acknowledging the situation, the receptionist became defensive, so I chose not to escalate the conversation. I stated that I would contact my insurance directly to clarify what occurred. What disappointed me most was the complete lack of follow‑up. I did not receive a phone call, voicemail, email, or text acknowledging the delay or offering to reschedule. Patients are often reminded that arriving late or missing an appointment may result in fees or rescheduling. In the same way, patients' time is valuable, and clear communication is essential. I want to emphasize that my concerns are not about the dentist himself, whom I respect, but about the management and scheduling process. A simple courtesy message acknowledging the inconvenience would have made a meaningful difference. I hope the office considers improving communication and time management so future patients do not experience similar issues.

I made an appointment for a cleaning and to follow up about a crown that was suggested by Dr. Smith…read morewho owned the practice prior to selling it to Dr. Tobon. My last cleaning and exam was 9 months ago and they did bite-wing X-rays. The first thing I was told by the hygienist, was that they needed to give me full mouth X-rays. I said I didn't want to do that if my insurance didn't cover it and I really don't want to be exposed to X-rays unnecessarily. Dr. Tobon was obviously either being flagged down by the hygienist or was listening and came in to discuss it. Upon entering the room, he introduced himself and began by saying, "this is my dental practice. I bought it and I own it now and I understand you have some questions." I explained my concerns and then, in a condescending tone and speaking to me like Mr. Rogers does to a child, said that he likes to take X-rays every 6 months. He started telling me stories of how they could miss a cavity and tried to relate stories of the past where people suffered mightily by not having cavities detected. I explained that I haven't had a cavity in 25 years and I would agree to the X-rays if my insurance covered it but I didn't want to do them more than once per year. I further explained that I was being treated for skin cancer and although it's not related, more X-rays instead of less X-rays was not something I wanted. He then went into a long diatribe about how he cares about his patients and was a veteran and other irrelevant information that was supposed to have me let him do whatever he wanted because he is a good guy. He said things like, "I am the professional here." and "We need to have a trust with each other and allow me to do the things I deem necessary because I care about my patients." Further, he was saying if insurance wouldn't cover it, that he would "work with me", as if he wanted me to be put on a payment plan or something to pay for non-covered procedures. Without knowing my situation, background or circumstances, the implication was that I couldn't afford to pay and not that it might be a principle issue of doing no more than what my insurance plan covers or a genuine concern of X-ray exposure. Honestly, he came across as a used car salesman who was trying to get me to succumb to his pushy tactics by making it some melodramatic "trust" issue while basically talking down to me because he is a dentist. (I guess he doesn't get that some people might have more advanced degrees than him) He said "If you think there might be a trust issue between us, maybe you should consider another dentist." Tired of trying to simply get my cleaning, exam, bite wings and the discussion of my crown done, I got up and left. My impression is that he tries to scare people to into procedures and has no understanding of empathy because he is a business owner more than he is a medical professional (as shown by the way he introduced himself).
