I went to Dr Patel for teeth whitening. She negligently did not use the gum dam to protect my gums. She damaged my gums so badly that now I need gum grafting to repair the damage. I asked her to help me pay for the grafting, the total is $7000, and she refused to take responsibility. She took before pictures so she knows what she did to my gums. I asked her for the pictures, and she made tons of excuses before she finally said she could not find them. Dr Patel has zero integrity and won't take responsibility for her actions. I expected professionalism, accountability and basic patient safety. Instead I am left with lasting damage and no support. I would strongly advise others to proceed with caution. read more

Had a great experience with Dr. Patel. She takes her time, is gentle, knowledgeable, works with all major insurance and has very fair pricing. Would highly recommend! Any negative reviews on here, was before she took over the practice read more

After years of not visiting the dentist due to changes in insurance I visited Dr. Modrell. I have been concerned by a few dark spots on my molars (though I have never had a cavity before) and expressed this to her. After a very disorganized first half of the visit (I switched chairs twice though I was the only patient in the office, the staff were unaware of where anything was or what to do next, x-rays were painful and it took an extraordinarily long time to get the correct placement of camera so I had to bite down on the plastic mouth guard over and over and over again, whole appointment took 2.5 hours for cleaning and teeth whitening, etc, etc) Dr. Modrell after examining and cleaning my teeth told me I had 8 (yes 8) cavities with 4 more that needed to be watched. I was mortified by these results (at this rate I would be toothless by 40!) and scheduled an appointment with her to have the first 4 filled. After returning home and fully digesting the bizarre appointment I had just had I decided to pay out of pocket to visit my childhood dentist to see if in fact Dr. Modrell was correct. After a thorough examination of my teeth and the x-rays from Dr. Modrell's office he concluded that I have zero (ZERO!) cavities that need to be filled and one tooth that should be watched. When I asked about the dark spots he told me that they were most likely stains from coffee (bingo!), red wine (guilty!) or any other color altering food or drink. All in all I am glad I trusted my gut feeling and got a second opinion and am saddened that it is challenging to find an honest dentist. Needless to say I will not be visiting Dr. Modrell's office again. read more

The complete experience is a pleasant one, and who likes going to the dentist! From the location to the staff makes it super easy to handle. They all took care of my needs in a timely manner and are there to help when rescheduling is needed. Thanks again everyone read more

Dr. Modrell is an excellent dentist. I always feel very comfortable visiting for my check- ups. I have had a lot of dental work done, from Dr. Modrell and now I am very confident with my smile. She is very professional with the work she does. She listens to her patients. She explains everything to them step by step. I just can't say enough . I am always very relaxed during my visits knowing that I am in good hands. Her entire office staff are very friendly and helpful.I highly recommend Dr. Modrell . read more

I was having a problem with my old dentist he basically did a really bad job on my teeth and I still have to live with It. I went to a few dentist and all of them had a very long wait and I just felt not so comfortable, I already had a bad experience.. I heard about Dr.Modrell from a family member and I went for a consultation. I'm glad I did. I was In pretty quickly, she took a look and explained all the options I have which Is so nice to hear because most of the other ones just told me what need to be done without explaining much. Dr.Modrell really made me feel comfortable and that I'm being taken care of. I'm actually happy to go to the dentist nowadays haha. I already started my treatment a few months ago and It's going great so far. I would give more than 5 stars If I could. Thank you Dr.Modrell! read more

Having moved from Florida, we had to find a new dentist. Our network suggested Dr. Modrell. We were very happy to find her, her office is small, personal with each person doing their part to make your visit easy. The exam was the most comprehensive I had ever had and the doctors approach with patients was very easy going. I would recommend anyone try out this office if they are in need of a new dentist or unhappy with their current one. read more

As a dentist Dr. Modrell is a good dentist. However, the office/administrative practices leave to be desired. I received a 'new patient' offer/coupon. When I booked the appointment, I was assured that the coupon would be applied towards the insurance copayment. It was not. In spite of emails and phone calls (which have not been replied to), It is now over a year and I still get billed for that amount. Beware of 'new patient' offers; they are designed to get you into the office but they are not honored. read more

Dr Modrell is a perfectionist. She takes time to carefully evaluate what you need to improve your dental health! She monitors your comfort at all times during complicated procedures! She explains every step and uses xrays images to illustrate what she is repairing! You never have to guess what is coming next! Her staff is also very professional and competent! They reflect her high standard of performance! I have had the misfortune of having very poor dental service done in the past, and was very nervous to try someone new! What a great surprise Dr Modrell has been!!! I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a very professional, and compassionate dentist! She is a perfectionist and will take your dental health to a high level! read more

My daughters and I went to her office each for a visit after moving to CA from VA and looking for a new dentist. Unfortunately we had a very bad experience since it seemed that they were all about racking up as many charges as they could for suggested services that after getting a second opinion, were not necessary. One of these included telling two of my daughters that they had cavities that needed to be filled immediately that felt off to me so I scheduled a second opinion visit with a different dentist and was told that neither of them had any cavities. I, unfortunately, did have one of the suggested services (a deep gum cleaning) that I was told by their team that I needed and that it would be covered by insurance and later found out that it was denied by insurance and I owed them $1200 for it. I cancelled the other suggested services for my daughters and went to Dental Care of Walnut Creek, and had a MUCH better experience. Dr. Modrell's practice seems to be focused on marketing and getting new patients where they can charge as much as possible and be very aggressive about setting up new appointments (not to mention they will charge $50 per appointment for any changes or cancellations). It seems extremely unethical and I am grateful that we did not continue to go there. read more

Dr. Aminda is an amazing dentist! I came to see her in a bit of a last minute emergency for my 7 year old son who had a rock thrown at his face on the playground at school and badly chipped his permanent front tooth. Dr. Aminda was very helpful about getting me in last minute to fix the tooth! She did an excellent job. No one even knows that his tooth was practically knocked out! We've been seeing her for some fillings as well and she's very good with young kids, my son is not afraid to go see the dentist. Whole office is very pleasant and friendly! read more

I just became a patient for Dr. Osorio-Modrell and was very pleased with the office. I needed a crown replacement and had a difficult tooth with a deep filling. Dr. Osorio-Modrell made the procedure painless and she was very thorough in making sure the crown fit properly. Her office staff was also very friendly. read more

It is not a happy thing to spend hours under dentists' care, but Dr. Modrell does everything humanly and professionally possible to make both the experience and the result (such replacing a crown) excellent. read more

They are awesome specially shani and Dr Modrell. I didn't have any pain and everything was good

I have my dental insurance through Anthem via Covered California, and was very excited that a dentist with such a kind secretary and clean office was available, in-network, and so close by. However, PATIENTS BEWARE. I saw Dr. Modrell for a cleaning. It was great that she shared every detail about my teeth while she scoped them out with her camera, but the cleaning appointment took almost an hour and a half. While she was very kind and gentle, she told me I had SEVEN cavities that needed fillings. Unfortunately, my health insurance doesn't cover work until I've been on the plan at least six months, so all 7 of those fillings were to come out of my pocket. She offered to break them into separate visits over the next couple of months, but still said it was necessary for me to get all 7 cavities filled...which would cost me almost $1000. I felt skeptical, as I haven't had any cavities in years and was cleared by a dentist in DC at my last cleaning six months ago, so I went to get a second opinion from a highly rated and recommended dentist nearby, who was not even in my network (that's how skeptical I was). Turns out, both dentists in that office looked me over and informed me I actually had ZERO CAVITIES. They assured me that whoever I went to must've been looking for work to do, and that any fillings she would've done would be completely unnecessary work to my teeth. I can't believe I almost spent $1000 on fillings with Dr. Modrell when I really don't need any. I think that's dishonest, and I will be sure to tell everyone I know that they should not visit that office. read more

I have been lucky enough to have had the best dental care of my life with Dr. Modrell and her team. Although her approach is conservative, she makes sure that no stone is left unturned to ensure her patients receive the full scope of care. Your peace of mind and comfort during the procedures are always in their sight. I highly recommend this practice for your consideration. read more

So far ... GREAT! I'm deathly afraid of dentists and she made the experience a TON better than I expected. I have not yet finished getting the crowns done - but so far - so good. Will update again when all is done! read more

We went into see Dr. Modrell because we received a coupon of $100 off a visit. That's telling me you need business. We needed $5000 of work which AAA insurance is going to pay Info to the doctor after the work is complete the doctor would not do this AAA insurance company is all over the worldIf they put something in writing and they're going to pay $5000 they're going to bed. So after wasting time and money with this dentist she wouldn't except the payment from AAA after the work was done no wonder she Hass to send out coupons. Really disappointed $5000 is $5000 if your business is hurting. I would put the zero stars if I could ugggg read more

Always feel comfortable and well taken care of when I see Dr. Modrell & her team! She cares about the health of your teeth and is always educating our community on healthy habits. read more

Unfortunately I've had the same experience as the other one-star reviewers. I came to Dr Modrell with ZERO teeth problems (no pain or sensitivity whatsoever) and was told that I had four cavities. I've never had a cavity previous to this and take excellent care of my teeth. During our appointment to get these "cavities" filled I was told that I had three MORE cavities that needed to be addressed. One of the fillings was so painful that I had to come in for an emergency appt so they could give the tooth sedative. At this point I got a second opinion from another dentist. The tooth that was painfully filled was so destroyed by the original filling and the sedative that I now need a root canal (at age 24!!). He agreed that my teeth did not need any original fillings and surmised that Dr Modrell had probably created the cavities. She has made it so five of my teeth need additional work to repair them (all of her fillings never ceased to be sensitive/painful) and created a situation where I now require a root canal. Please be warned and always always always get a second opinion!!! read more

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Modrell and her team for the past few years and I couldn't be happier. I have never trusted anyone but Dr. Modrell with cosmetic procedures on my teeth and she truly is a perfectionist of her trade. My three boys adore her and her team and always look forward to going to the dentist! Her bedside manner has been unmatched by other dentists I've been to and I highly suggest her if you are looking for a dentist. read more

Aminda and her staff are always professional. They make you feel comfortable. My husband has never liked going to the dentist but once he met Aminda and her team, he was pleasantly surprised. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Dr.Modrell and her staff are all lovely and professional with a warm , welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I recently visited Dr. Modrell and she was very professional and prompt with her prognosis of my situation and quick to refer me to an endodontist. Dr. Modrells' staff was able to secure an appointment the same day with a Dr. that is in my network. read more

I discovered Dr. Mondrell through an advertisement sent to my house when I moved to the area - and I'm very glad I did! Due to Dr. Mondrell's practice being located in Alamo, I feel I am supporting a local business and being cared for by a fellow member of the community. Her staff is very friendly and personable. I very much appreciate that this practice runs on time and I am never left in the waiting room past my scheduled appointment time. When I experienced minor pain after receiving a cavity, Dr. Mondrell urgently saw me and thoroughly addressed my concern. After I left my last appointment, Dr. Mondrell said I "am now part of the family," which I certainly feel. I highly recommend this dentist! read more

After two and a half months I was finally able to get the issue resolved with an awesome dentist in Walnut Creek. He told me that Dr. Modrell did damage to my tooth and likely caused me permanent nerve damage. Really, really bad experience, that turned into 2.5 months of pain. To make matters worse, when I got my refund she didn't even sign the check and I had to go back in to have it signed in person. All up TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. read more

This is a fun and Happy place !!! Get your Dental care here!!! Dr Modrell is patient and understanding and the staff here are helpful and nice.. read more

Dr. Modrell is a very ethical, excellent dentist that I have known for over 8 years. I have found her office to be very organized and professional, with their first priority making sure of the patient's comfort, and she gave me (a retired dentist myself) the best cleaning I have had from anyone since I left dental school. If you look at all her other 5-star reviews you can see that there are many who like and respect her and think the same as I do. read more

I have just finished a treatment with Dr. Modrell which started with a deep cleaning, then I replaced all my old fillings (that were in real bad shape), and also got 2 crowns. Her staff is extremely friendly and I like how they send out all the notifications and reminders before each appointment, and the way they follow up with e-mails and phone calls after each visit. To me Dr. Modrell seemed very knowledgeable and professional. I agree that each visit takes a long time, but I don't see that as a negative point, as she does a very detailed and complete work. I will keep seeing her every 3 months for general cleaning. read more

I have been coming to Dr. Modrell for about 4 years now, she is very caring and thoroughly explains every procedure. She is very gentle and makes me feel at ease. Her entire team is very friendly and welcoming. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr Modrell! read more

Dr. Modrell is caring, her hands are nimble, and she has an artist's eye. The cosmetic work she performed on me looks natural and I'm very pleased with it. I am new to this practice but in just a few visits, I can confirm that they are professional and kind, and that the Doctor is meticulous in her work. Ivory, the assistant, always makes me feel welcome with her warmth. She also explains what the doctor is doing (while she does it) which is sort a comfort. I recommend this practice! read more

Dr. Modrell & her staff were amazing with my 3 yr old grandson's first visit to the dentist. I set up the appt because it appeared that he had noticeable decay in his teeth. He was obviously shy at the beginning but Dr. Modrell was very patient with him and he finally "opened" up and allowed her some room to see all of his teeth. She was even able to take x-rays of his teeth. She was great with him as he sat in my lap. I would definitely recommend Dr. Modrell. read more
