The atmosphere is very clean and noticed an air purifier in every single room which depicts the type of environment it is. From a technological standpoint, the facility is pretty tech savvy. The equipment used is unlike what I have seen in other dental offices that is for sure. During my operation, Dr. Picard was very knowledgeable as he was explaining to the assistant what they were doing and why as a learning opportunity which is great. Staff was very personable from the start which made me feel very welcomed. I've been to dentist many times but you can immediately tell that Dr. Picard cares for the best interest of his patients and takes his time to ensure everything is done properly which is greatly appreciated. He constantly checked up on me to ensure I was not in pain which is nice. Now I have seen first hand why Dr. Picard and his team has a 5 Star review. Highly recommended. - Danny S.

When Dr. Malesra took over Branch Village Dental, my wife and I decided to stay at the practice and…read moregive him a try. In late 2023 I began experiencing discomfort on the palate side of my gums and decided to wait a short time until my cleaning visit in January 2024 to have it looked at. The hygienist I had was pleasant to work with but, recently, has shown that she did not use good judgement. After looking at my issue, she had no idea what the problem was and left me with the impression that there was nothing to worry about and that it should clear up on its own in time. She not only did not have any idea of what was going on, she also did not feel it important enough to consult with or ask Dr. Malesra to spend a minute to look at it. My next visit was in July when the doctor would examine me. The discomfort had not gone away. Upon examination, he said that I probably at some point had a food particle, such as a popcorn husk, stuck under my gum causing irritation, but he did not find anything. He then advised that I try rinsing my mouth with 3% hydrogen peroxide three times per day and get back to him in a few weeks. After that he gave me a prescription for Chlorhexidine. Both did nothing. A few weeks later Dr. Malesra took an X-ray and said I might have gingivitis, recommending I see a periodontist. I went to the periodontist that he recommended. That ended up being a big mistake and a total waste of $115. I will spare you those details except to say that he mentioned that the x-rays Dr. Malesra's office sent to him were dark, blurry and unusable and had to take one of his own. Being totally unsatisfied at the point, I chose to see a different periodontist, one that my wife had seen. The difference between the two were like night and day. He, too, thought the x-rays were bad and had to take one of his own. He performed a complete checkup, took photographs of what he suspected and, after some time, did a biopsy as there were white bumps that proved to be Leukoplakia, a problem that could possibly end up being oral cancer. More time will have to pass to determine if this is the case. The point here, though, is that had the hygienist done her job and had Dr. Malesra look at me in January instead of having to wait 6 months, what may end up being cancer could have been caught six months sooner and most likely better treated! On a Tuesday, I tried calling Dr. Malesra and spoke with a receptionist to set up a time to speak with him to discuss my feelings. I was told he was at lunch and she would have him return my call. It took three days before I finally received a call from the office manager wanting to know what the issue is. I told her I wanted to speak directly with the doctor and she said she was told to speak with me instead. I could not speak with the doctor. I feel any small business owner who refuses to speak with an upset customer directly is a coward and a very poor businessman and should not run a business. To sum it up, in my opinion, it appears both the hygienist and Dr. Malesra are only adequate in their basic job functions, and when there is an issue outside of normal cleaning or pulling a tooth, they are not of much value. I recommend looking elsewhere if you are looking for a great dental practice. Both my wife and I have left the practice with no regrets!

Okay so the parking lot is sketchy you feel like you're going to get robbed, and I'm not afraid of much. Any who we walk in and it looks nice but 2 minutes in the "receptionist" or whatever the hell they're are so loud , yelling out patients info , have full blown loud conversations. They're speaking Spanish which I know , full conversations about life? I mean can't you be quiet and confidential with patients info, and keep your side conversations for break , I mean you do have patients waiting. Moving on they call my fiancées name and had the NERVE to tell me " he's going in alone " in a ignorant tone just like that. EXCUSE ME? Says who? These workers have terrible customer service and they're ignorant. She could've nicely told me he has to go alone, but then again WHY does he have to go alone I've never had this issue anywhere else except this sketchy place. This place is absolutely terrible. We will not be coming back! And I advise nobody else even bother coming here.

I have never had such a thorough oral examination and I was so pleased with their high level of attention to detail. Samantha, the dental assistant, was friendly, highly skilled, and efficient. She has excellent bedside manner and explained every procedure in detail before and during so I knew what was going on. She took beautiful dental radiographs in a very short period of time, I was impressed with her technique! Dr. Picard was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. He started my exam by talking to me about myself and non-dental related topics which really made me feel at ease and definitely got rid of those pre-visit butterflies in my stomach! His exam was detailed and he took the time to ask me several times if I had any questions or needed further explanations on anything. Both Samantha and Dr. Picard went above and beyond! The texting feature makes check-in seamless! I really can't recommend them enough.
