    I love the dentist and hygienist here but this review is for the front desk lady. I talked to the office last week when they confirmed my appointment- asked if everything was ready to go, double checked on insurance- they said yes, and said see you Monday. I woke up so gd early to be at this spot Monday morning only to pull in to the lot and get a call from them ten minutes before I was due in, I walked in rather than answering the call, and the front desk lady was mildly frantic and told me insurance wasn't going to pay for the appointment. Asked her to let me know what was needed and she said see the hygienist. I stated I needed insurance to cover this appointment. Hygienist is lovely as usually, takes X-rays and leads me to the dental room. I reiterate that front desk had mentioned an insurance issue and they say ok and someone leaves to presumably check that bit. Dentist is amazing; Dr Emilia is so super comforting, gave me bad news and I still trust her to move forward. I will need a referral per my beautiful and kind dentist and they leave the room to do dentist stuff. I remind them I need to know about insurance before we get started with a much bigger procedure than planned, but it's medically necessary, so I push my fear of the dentist away, and sit tight so they can bring me an estimate. Front desk lady from earlier comes in and yells at me to put a mask on, but my mask is off per the dentist and my purse with my mask is in the wall. I yell back to her I can't put it on because it's sticking out of my purse, and it's in a hook on the wall, and she is blocking me into the reclining chair I'd been in for my initial exam. I get the mask, put it on, and ask her "are we in a fight?" She says no, I agree, no fight, and she begins explaining costs for today's visit. The work for the day costs what it did last year out of pocket and is expensive, but not shocking- I was prepared to pay it and have a HSA. I then ask again how much the specialist they are referring me to is going to cost, and what percentage would be covered by insurance and she tells me she doesn't know. I asked for her to call and she refuses. I explain because this particular work today must be done at an exact time after today's appointment, so it gave me a very narrow window to pay or plan for major periodontal surgery. She again refused to find out what next steps would be for me in terms of who to see, how much it costs, and if my insurance covers it, so I left. I'll miss you dental staff, but this gatekeeping Karen at the front desk is too much for me and definitely doesn't make me feel less anxious about visiting the dentist.

The front office staff were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about their patients. I originally came in for an Invisalign and wisdom teeth consultation, and I ended up leaving with two wisdom teeth extracted, my next Invisalign appointment scheduled, and a payment plan set up all in a single visit. The technology they use is impressive. One of the coolest parts was seeing an AI-generated preview of what my teeth could look like after Invisalign treatment. Everyone in the back office was friendly and professional as well. As for the doctor, he was awesome, personable, funny, and able to keep me relaxed with jokes when appropriate. At the same time, he was honest, knowledgeable, and focused on what would be best for me in the long run. I was extremely nervous about trying a new dentist, but the team at Stonebrook Dental made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist in the Sacramento area. Five stars all the way.

    I had a very uncomfortable experience at this dental office…read more My daughter was charged for a fluoride treatment that was not actually performed. The charge was refunded only after I brought this to the office's attention. The doctor at this office reviewed my daughter's X-rays, which were taken at this office, and told me that she had a cavity and a white spot. The doctor recommended a filling for the cavity and a Curodont treatment for the white spot. I declined the Curodont treatment at that time because it would have been an out-of-pocket expense, and the diagnosis was unexpected, so I wanted to get a second opinion first. I brought the same X-rays to my daughter's previous dentist, who reviewed them, examined my daughter's teeth in person, and told me that she did not find a cavity or white spot. I understand that dentists can have different professional opinions, and I cannot personally determine which assessment was correct. However, receiving conflicting opinions about my daughter's dental health was concerning as a parent. During my X-rays, the sensor caused me to gag repeatedly, making the procedure very uncomfortable. During my first visit, I was photographed from the front and, unexpectedly, from the side. The staff then handed me a metal retractor and asked me to place it in my mouth for additional photographs. None of this was explained to me beforehand, and I was not expecting to have photographs taken from multiple angles with a metal retractor in my mouth. The experience left me feeling confused and uncomfortable. My daughter had a similar experience. She was asked to place a metal retractor in her mouth for photographs, and she was also photographed from the side. She told me afterward that she found the experience weird and uncomfortable as well. Ultimately, I lost confidence in the practice and decided to take my family elsewhere, so I cancelled all of our upcoming appointments with this dental clinic.

I started coming here a few months ago because my regular dentist had no emergency appointments and I had broke a back tooth in half and it was painful and wouldn't stop bleeding. They were able to get me in the following day. I arrive thinking I would only get a consultation and maybe antibiotics, but nope! They were about to an exam and do my root canal the same day! I was excited for this and they made the impressions for my crowns. This is where thing go down hill. In come in to get other work done and every time I had my appointment they would change what they wanted to do vs what was agreed to be done. There were also some appointments nothing ho done due to the incompetence of the front desk. I am not impressed with this dental office, but I go because once again the dentist are good. The care I have received on my teeth I have no complaints. I only hope the front desk get it together and one if they front desk gals are very unprofessional speaking badly of the client when they leave.

When he asked if I was in any pain or had any concerns, I began explaining what was bothering me. Instead of listening, he dismissed every single concern I raised. He dismissed the fact that I was in pain and argued with me that my tooth was not chipped, insisting it was only a tiny dent. He also told me that the fracture lines another dentist had pointed out did not exist and repeatedly insisted that fracture lines cannot be seen without a microscope. He then had a lighted mirror brought over and told me to show him what I was talking about. After I pointed out the area, he again insisted that fracture lines cannot be seen without a microscope. That is simply not true. You can absolutely see the craze lines that I'm talking about if you care to look. He continued arguing that my tooth was not chipped, despite what I was showing him. I explained that another dentist had planned to refer me to an endodontist because of my symptoms, but that I was in pain now and needed help. Dr. Al Janabi told me an endodontist was unnecessary and that there was nothing that could be done because, according to him, it was only a dent and not a chip. He also told me that I do not grind my teeth and that every other dentist who had previously told me I did was misinformed. He then stated that tooth #19 does not need a root canal, despite the fact that two different dentists have told me it does. He became very aggressive, repeatedly saying, "Your tooth is perfect. Your teeth are perfect. There is nothing wrong with your nerves. Come see your X-rays!" His tone made me feel as though I was being scolded rather than spoken to respectfully. I told him that another dentist had recently informed me that I have five cavities. His response was, "If another dentist said you have five cavities, why are you here? Go to them!" He then aggressively repeated that I should go back to the other dentist instead of addressing why I had come in for a second opinion. When I explained that I was there because I wanted a second opinion, he continued aggressively repeating that I should just go to the other dentist. By that point, I felt extremely uncomfortable and felt like I was being chastised simply for seeking another professional opinion. What was especially concerning to me was that he did not perform what I felt was a thorough examination. Although a full set of X-rays was taken, he only examined the three teeth I identified as hurting. He did not examine the rest of my mouth before declaring that I had no cavities and that my teeth were "perfect." He never even asked which teeth another dentist had identified as having cavities, even though some of those teeth were on my upper arch and were never examined. I do not understand how someone can confidently state that I have no cavities without examining all of my teeth. The only diagnosis he gave me was that I have gum disease and needed a deep cleaning. I left the appointment feeling unheard, dismissed, and extremely uncomfortable. I went there because I was in pain and wanted a second opinion. Instead, I felt that my concerns were repeatedly dismissed, I was spoken to in an argumentative and aggressive manner, and I left feeling that I had been treated with disrespect throughout the appointment. Based on my experience, I will not be returning to this office, and I cannot recommend Dr. Al Janabi

    Edit 8/30/21: I found out that my review from earlier in the year was not posted. Here goes:…read more I will start with saying that I do not like change very much! Especially when it comes to my medical/dental care. I used to go to a dentist less than a mile from where I live - which was phenomenal and worked well with my schedule. My sister, Shareen, has been raving about Dr. Patel for a few years (she even entered Dr. Patel's number in my contact list a while back). In January, I started having this pain on my left side of the mouth (about a couple of weeks after my last routine dental appointment at my regular dentist)...long story short, I ended up needing a root canal and found out that I had a cracked tooth that was progressively getting worse. Which led me to think - maybe my dentist should have caught it during my last very recent visit). Anyway, fast forward to today. I switched to Dr. Patel in late January and am extremely thrilled. The entire team is helpful, cheerful, knowledgeable and makes for a pleasant experience. The office is conveniently located (not under a mile from my home, but it is an absolutely worthwhile trade-off). I ended up needing a crown and the team worked around my schedule and kept in contact with me for any openings that may come up before my scheduled appointment. The text communication is super helpful, as a I spend most of my work life on conference calls. During my prep to get the tooth ready for the crown, I did not like all the "stuff" happening in my mouth, so Dr. Patel would pause after every few seconds and make sure I was okay. I think the procedure took about 30 minutes, but it felt like it went by much faster, even though Dr. Patel would stop for me to make sure I was okay. That is how efficient he is! Oh and they have a TV mounted to the ceiling, so you can actually have something to do instead of just laying there. AND - they give you awesome headphones so you can catch up on your old episodes of Friends or Narcos or whatever! And while writing this review, I found out that my other sister, Shane is also a patient of Dr. Patel. We are making this a family dentist! Pam is a terrific, Bonnie is awesome, Kelsey is superb, Kasandra is a delight, and Dr. Patel is a Rockstar! I highly recommend them.

    The best dentist in the Arden/Sacramento Area hands down!…read more I found Dr. Patel through Yelp and was obviously initially skeptical of the reviews. The office is beautiful. Kind of a relaxed, chic welcoming feel to it. After spending the last couple of years with Dr. Patel and his amazing team working through a comprehensive treatment plan (crowns and veneers) I can honestly say that this is best professional service I've ever had. Dr. Patel and his team, especially (Jessi who is in the front) generously spent the extra time working through a complicated insurance plan situation with the up most patience, always keeping me in the loop through the process. Appointments were always made to best fit my schedule and there was never a feeling of being rushed during the many consultations as the treatment plan constantly evolved. Gabi , Erica and Nathalie are always extra patient with me as I have severe anxiety about having poking and prodding done to my mouth. (YES, like a little kid LOL ) There is never a day that you look forward to going to the dentist but Dr. Patel excels at making the experience somehow almost tolerable and humane. Old school bedside manner meets the new century. Call them if you have questions about your insurance or even if you want a 2nd opinion. You know its always good to have another insight on what other doctors/offices say what you need. Really, stop looking, go to Dr. Patel if you are looking for an A+++++ General Dentist!!

The staff repeatedly and incorrectly insisted my Aetna PPO card was Medi-Cal, making rude assumptions based on my appearance rather than looking at the card in their hands.

I do not recommend this office to anyone who values their time or expects to be treated with basic dignity.UPDATE: After my initial review, the dentist reached out claiming he wanted to 'rectify the situation.' I took off work, used my PTO, and drove across town with a severe migraine for an 11:45 appointment, only for him to waste my time a SECOND time. ​Instead of providing the service we discussed, he spent the time making excuses, pushing invasive veneers/orthodontics I've already declined, and talking about other patients.

DR. MAR'S OFFICE IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF EVERY BAD EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD. I love everyone there--Dr. Mar, Patty, Thao, Trish, and Erica are so fun, sweet, wonderful, amazing, awesome... I don't have enough good adjectives and I'm too lazy to look it up in an online thesaurus right now, but trust me, it's TOTALLY true!

I have referred friends who have referred friends who have referred friends, I swear between this little Dr. Mar cult we've started we paid for all that new furniture in the adorable new office! But before you go thinking they overcharged to pay for their beautiful new facility, here's the deal--they don't and still do amazing work--I've never had to dispute an amount to pay because they're on top of things in communicating with insurace, they've been super patient with my difficult teeth (I had to go try and seat the same crown I think 3 or 4 times, and each time they knew it wasn't just right so they just sent it back out to get fixed!) I've never had unresonable discomfort during or after a procedure, never doubted their diagnoses, never dreaded going back. In fact, I look forward to it! In addition to all of this, they're just really fun people! They remember tons about my friends and I and always ask how everyone's doing. I am so thankful that I found a place that I hope one day I can take my kids to so I can save them the trauma I endured and they can actually love going to the dentist while growing up! I almost didn't want to write this review because I never want it to get so big that I can't get an appointment, but they're so awesome I don't think they would even let that happen! So, in short, if you're looking for a dentist, see everyone at Dr. Mar's... and feel free to tell him that crazy girl Mary told you all about how awesome they were on Yelp!
