I have been struggling with accessing dental care due to anxiety for the last 15 years. I explained…read moreto the staff upon my initial consult that I am really scared/need extra support. From day one they have known me by name every time I have come into the office, they have taken extra care to ensure that I have sunglasses for the lights and squeeze balls for the stress. They use a special "dry field" on me when doing work because the feeling of saliva collecting triggers a drowning response in me. Every little concern I have is immediately addressed. Incredible. I came for my first couple appointments while being prescribed anxiety medication by the dentist, and I got super comfortable. When I did get too scared one time, they let me reschedule for no fee and when I came back the next time I sat like a champ! This has been a life changing experience for me. I can drive myself to the dentist and get a crown like nobody's business because these compassionate people gave me the support I needed to get over my fear. I've been going here for nearly half a year, on a journey to get all of my teeth fixed, and now that it's nearly complete I'm actually a little sad I'll only get to come every six months for a cleaning. If you're scared of the dentist but want to try again - Dr Eric Cheung is a little bit busy but he's very kind and respectful. His staff however are some of the best humans. The receptionist, the hygienist and the dental assistant all know me by name and have made me feel so safe! You guys rock!

The staff here is friendly and efficient. If I ever have any questions about dental care, they are more than happy to help. Most recently, I asked about home whitening products, and I was told that there is a special on professional whitening. Normally around $400, professional whitening is now just $150. I was able to get my molds completed that same day. I love Dr. Sanchez and his staff, and I would highly recommend Atwater Family Dental Care to anyone in the area.

Worst Dentist Ever! If I could give her 0 stars I would. My…read moreappointment was at 4pm I was 20 mins early. I was not actually seen my Mrs. Defay until past 5pm becausr she was "busy". She finally came and asked what was wrong I told her I have a pain in my molar showed her then she pokes it and then uses some plastic thing and makes me bite down then proceeds to tell me I dont have pain and my molar is fine. I tell her again it hurts my gum hurts and it makes it difficult to chew to brush and to floss she then again tells me mine molar does not hurt so I ask her does it hurt u too? Can you feel this pain? She then tell me my molar next to it has a bit of an infection and needs a root canal. N she could extract my molar that hurts. If she said it was fine why does she want to extract it? All for the money. No thank you. Save yourself the time and money.

David nor Kevin are worth the one star I am being forced to give as they are FRAUDSTERS. Let me…read morestart by explaining that David was brokering a car purchase deal on behalf of his son in law, Jay Kevin Gremillion, and I was the potential buyer for Jay's 2016 Toyota 4Runner with the vin number JTEBU5JR7G5290298. I interacted with both men in regard to this purchase, and in order to hold the vehicle, as I lived outside of California, I was asked to pay a $1,000.00 Retainer Fee to David via Venmo. I sent the $1,000.00 to David on July 23rd, 2025, on Venmo, with the condition that the fee would be REFUNDABLE if I did not go through with the purchase. Needless to say, I did NOT buy the vehicle as there was an issue with the means of payment I could provide for the remainder balance. I have since filed a dispute with Venmo after multiple attempts were made to contact David Telling about refunding my money. David has refused to communicate with me despite contacting him via texts and phone calls, and I have sent him two requests for $1,000.00 on Venmo for repayment that have gone unanswered. Simply put, David Telling is a thief. Do NOT recommend doing business of any kind with the likes of David. Jay Gremillion goes by Kevin, and apparently is the owner/ operator of Dino Smiles Children Dentistry in Atwater, CA; however, the dental offices website can't be pulled up on google strangely enough in order to leave a review on google, so I am settling for Yelp. I believe these men are both professional scammers.

This is the WORST dental office I've ever had experienced. Every time I schedule my children (which…read moreare more than 6+ months out) they give me a call either a few days before or a day before their scheduled appointments and leave a voicemail with the same excuse about it being "an emergency" and move it to a different date. Mind you, I put in a request from my job early to approve the original appointment date and it NEVER fails that this office is always forcing a reschedule. My daughter is now 6!! And she has NOT once been seen here. And given the pandemic time, and now the months waiting to be on schedule, she was supposed to be seen today but they MOVED her appointment for yesterday 7/17/23! Now I not only waited MONTHS for her to be seen but again REQUESTED my job for the day off because I work before they open AND get off 30 minutes before they closed! Plus I make these appointments for my children to accommodate my schedule NOT theirs. I finally have had it with this dental office. My children will go elsewhere, I rather pay out of pocket at an office will give them services.... After being told that I was a "no show" (falsely noting in system) on a appointment that I didn't reschedule and they moved her original scheduled date. I let them know I have every voicemail of THEM changing it, for a so called "Dr emergency" and "office will be closed" , to my surprise I called today (my child's actual day scheduled 7/18/23) and who is in office? The Doctor who was supposed to be out due to the "emergency"! I wish I could give it a -5 star. You people need to do better with your "services" because how dare you continue to have me take a day off and not see my children due to FALSE emergencies and "offer" to reschedule it for FEBRUARY OF 2024!!!! If the doctor doesn't know how his front office is running things, I suggest getting involved with your staff and do better for the patients and understand that CHILDREN need/require these visits...
