The fact that they have a comfort menu for patients who are nervous says it all!! This dental office is doing things right!

First let me start off with how AMAZING Dr.Kiuftis office and staff were! Veronica at the front desk was very helpful and made me feel right at home. She helped me fill out the paperwork and get all of that stuff situated. She's so kind and patient. The service was absolutely fantastic. I came in because i needed some old ortho cement taken off and Katrina was the woman to do it. Her skills and ability to get it done quick yet efficient blew my mind. I can't even tell I ever had it on my teeth after seeing her! She interacted with me the whole time and let me know everything she was doing and what to expect. 10/10 experience. I will most definitely be recommending this office to all of my friends and family! Thank you guys so much for taking care of me ! (: read more

My entire family has had the best care and results with Brimhall dental. Dr. Simpson has fixed my son's, daughter's, and my broken teeth. Yes we have bad luck when it comes to teeth but thank God for the artistry and knowledge found at Brimhall dental! We will definitely recommend them to all loved ones looking for the best dental experience. read more

Finding a quality dentist in my network was a big hassle, but luckily I was told about Brimhall Dental from a coworker. I was able to make a consultation appointment for about 3 weeks out. I filled out all the forms online. I text before going in so there is no waiting in the lobby. My x-rays, consultation, and cleaning took less than 2 hours. I also had the chance to learn more about the Invisalign system and was given a quote before I left. I returned 2 weeks later for a filling. The staff I came in contact with during those two visits were friendly, patient, and professional. The office is clean, well organized, and modern. The staff here knows how to make you feel comfortable during an otherwise uneasy, perhaps even stressful visit. read more

Dr Kiuftis only cares about money. He told me I needed a root canal but said he would do the cap before the root canal. I wasn't even having any pain. He did the cap spent about 20 minutes grinding my tooth then left. He left the building and just left the assistant there to finish the work. She had trouble and there was no doctor there to help. Other assistants came in to try and help her and they finally got done. Isn't that illegal for the doctor to just leave the building to go home? I went to get the root canal done and was told I didn't need one. Did I even need the cap? The front desk girl told me I should get a warranty on the cap to get it replaced for free. I got it but it's not free I paid for it and after looking into it the doctor gets paid when he replaces the cap. I've ready had it replaced once. I think dr Kiuftis is double dipping. Telling me I need treatment I don't and possibly doing treatment I didn't need in the first place. read more

I have never felt so comfortable going to a dentist before. They made my whole experience from start to finish a positive experience. Everyone in this place is amazing. From the doctor, to the techs, to the front desk. I actually started looking forward to my appointment each time. The best thing is Doctor Chris K. Listened to what I wanted to do and rather than taking me down a road that would lead me back he agreed with my game plan and we got right to work. I have a better quality of life because of Brimhall Dental Group. I can eat things I have not had in years because the gave me the teeth and smile I always dreamed of. read more

The dentist I first went to retired and I was desperately in search of a new dentist. My son needed braces so going here was a win win for both of us. They take their time exploring option for the service you want and need. The staff is friendly and engaging. The quality of care I received was excellent read more

Brimhall Dental Group is the best dentist office I've ever gone to in Bakersfield, and I've lived here 40 years. Dr. Simpson took care my husbands complicated dental health while helping him have no pain. The dentists are the best and the assistants are top notch. Everyone in the office is professional and kind. We love Brimhall Dental Group! read more

Dr.Chris is very knowledgeable, humble, respectful and responsible. I recommend this center for families. They took care of my kids and me with excellent long term results. The nurses and receptionists are helpful, nice and smily. I like that every step was well explained. read more

Zero stars if I could, I am very disappointed, I won't come back. My experience here was awful. I had an appointment for my cavities and Dr. Simpson was complaining to the nurses about not wanting to continue while working on my teeth. So he then finishes some of the fillings and just walks off and doesn't say a word to me :(, he doesn't even give me instructions of what to do next. I also get charged for 4 fillings when he did half. So now I have to wait 2 months for him to finish. I will NOT wait that is ridiculous and unprofessional. Every-time I try to get an appointment here, it takes 2 months to get in, unless you take the time they offer you ONLY. It's really unfortunate, these reviews are very misleading. The nurse was very rough and unfriendly. read more

I used to like this office but left it a few years ago due to being disregarded one too many times by back office staff and dentist. Unless you are interested in costly Cosmetic procedures or have perfect teeth, they don't have the time or patience for you. The whole place is Spa like and boy do you pay for it! In fact, months after you leave there, the billing department submits a $400.00 bill to you. Good luck reaching them, they don't answer or respond to phone calls. I would say move on and find a real office. You won't get a free monogrammed chapstick or moist towelettes but you stand you a great chance of getting your questions answered. read more

I thought this office had a nice ambience to it, shiny. But there are soo many people working there, it is necessary? I wasn't impressed by being put into multiple rooms and talking to multiple people. Answering the same questions over and over to 4 different people. Once I finally got into the chair for a cleaning, that was a joke! It was my first cleaning since having braces and my teeth straightened a lot, that hygienist is a awful job "cleaning" my teeth. I had to ask my orthodontist to clean what she didn't. Maybe the doctor should meet with his patients AFTER the cleaning to see what a "cleaning" job his hygienist does. And billing, double check your benefits, they tried to charge me after the fact my plan shows their "recommended treatment" was covered at 100%. If you only like pretty and shiny things, go here. If you want quality, go elsewhere. read more

First off i have to say Miss Jenny you are so special to my sons and myself you are one of the most beautiful, caring, kind people i've ever met in my life...I first started with Dr Simpson when he was downtown with my son Kaleb he is 22 and autistic and it's very difficult to find such caring and patient people to treat him. It's been amazing with you guys my son absolutely loves coming here he is treated awesome every time!! He even gets through x-rays like it's nothing Lol...Jenny chats and giggles with him and his animal noises and doesn't blink an eye she just goes with the flow i love chatting with her about life and she's always interested in how Mr Kaleb has been and before you know it he's done and smiling the whole time. Dr Simpson comes in does his exam and viola. My youngest decided it was time to leave his paediatric dentist when he came with me one time he loved the whole vibe including Miss Jenny he made sure and told me (mom i want jenny too when i come in) hehehe Yes child anything to get you to love coming to the dentist!!!! Beautiful, upscale, modern office. It is a busy area now...but when they first opened this new location they were one of the first tenants and it was awesome to always have a perfect spot to park but now it has more businesses open it's a lil tricky but not too bad. Everyone i've come into contact with is sweet and professional and we feel like family here so thank you guys for everything you Rock!! read more

This place is a scam, never in my life have I made a yelp review. It truly means something when I take the time out of my day to write this. I was in extreme pain so I decided to call this office because it looks really nice. I called and asked them if I could make an emergency appointment. They were very nice over the phone. I told the women I was talking to that my goal down the line was to get implants. She suggested I make my appointment for the following day because the doctor that does implants will be there. I told her that sounded good. About 10 min after getting off the phone I realized I won't be able to deal with the pain until the next day. So I called back and told her I would need the earliest appointment. She scheduled me that day at 2pm. I arrived at my appointment and they took me into the back, did X-rays and scrapped at my teeth like they normally do. It wasn't long after that I realized they weren't going to do anything for me that day. Nothing for the pain..... which is why I wanted an "EMERGENCY" appointment. Any way they walk me out to the front for "billing". They wanted me to pay almost 500 dollars out of pocket to schedule the next appointment. Mind you I have very good dental insurance that pays 90% of the bill. When I asked about it the women told me "if your insurance covers it we will reimburse you." I've never heard of that before. So here I am, just paid for an "emergency" appointment where they did absolutely nothing for the agonizing pain I was feeling and on top of that, they wanted me to pay almost 500 dollars out of pocket. I began steaming at the fact that I had just paid for an appointment where they did nothing for me. I kept myself together and told the women cancel everything I'll see you later. This place was a joke. read more

After several unpleasant experiences with dentists in Bakersfield, I am so happy to have found Brimhall Dental. The staff are very friendly and kind. I really like Dr. Simpson. He was careful to explain the options for treatment I had without being pushy. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. Jenn, my hygienist, was gentle and efficient. I look forward to being a patient of Brimhall Dental for a long time. read more

Three separate times told me I had a credit on my account that covered my fillings. Then once the work was done told me it was a software mistake and I owed money. I had called the day before to double check the work was covered. I understand mistakes happen but I was very disappointed in how little they seemed to care about a mistake on their end that was going to cost me hundreds of dollars. I didn't feel there was anything else I could have done on my end, and the lady at the front desk seemed incredibly unapologetic. I cancelled my wife and I's remaining appointments and won't be back. read more

Best dentist I have gone in a long time. Dr Simpson is amazing, really takes care of his patients. Makes sure your okay. The staff is amazing and caring, the girls are super sweet. By far best dentist I have. Dr Simpson, tells you what you need and what's the best treatments you can get. He is not pushy at all. I could finally say I found the right doctor. read more

Loved my visit. Dr. Kuftis and his staff were professional and the facility was very clean and modern. Check in process on the computer was simple and fast with No wait time. Another plus was they told me what my insurance covered and didn't cover beforehand. Plus the price of my filling beforehand so no one had any surprises on the bills. read more

I found BDG on google! It was clear that their customers were very happy with their service because they have an overall 4.5 stars, which is incredibly for a dentist office! I quickly called to make an appointment and spoke with the kindest woman! Although they were booked out for a month (which speaks volumes to their service quality) she manages to squeeze me in by making my exam and my cleanings, two different appointments. I was totally fine with that because she got me in that week! I went to my appointment yesterday and the office was STUNNING! So clean and incredibly up to date aesthetically! The ladies greeted me upon arrival and checked me in quickly. I was called back after waiting only about 5 minutes and we quickly began my ex rays! I love that you stay in one room the whole time - for exrays, exams, and I'm assuming cleanings as well. The dentist was incredible too. My exam was awesome and he was super helpful and did not pressure me to make any decisions that day. Unfortunately upon check out, We realized my insurance was HMO and not PPO. I loved my experience, but I was so bummed that my insurance does not cover their office. Just thought I'd share my experience if anyone had good insurance and can go there, make sure you check first!!! read more

Absolutely wonderful dental office. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. If you are worried about covid, this office takes every precaution to make you feel safe. Dr Simpson is great and explains very thoroughly what needs to be done and how it's done. Highly recommended. read more

I had a tooth that was bothering. My son had been to this office before so I called. I got an appointment for today which I was thankful for because I had the day off. I got there and was taken right back and they found the problem. It was fixed and I'm good as new. I will be back if I need anymore work and loved their office staff. read more

Wow...so far so good. I am now a Brimhall Dental Group patient and had my first visit today. Amazing crew they have working there beginning with the front desk to Jennifer the dental hygenist to Christine the xray/dental assistant to the dentist Dr. Kiuftis. Talk about a thorough appointment. Yes it took sometime but I didn't have to go back 4 times. I have another appointment next week for work work to be done but as of now I highly recommend Brimhall Dental. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Simpson for about 5 maybe 6 years now. I've been to a lot of dentists over my lifetime and I feel very comfortable in their office. I've been to dentists before where you feel like you're being nickle and dimed and treatments are being "made up" for you. I don't get that at all here. Office staff and hygienists are all very patient and kind. I've even had to have a couple of appointments with Dr. Kuiftis for a sleep apnea mouthpiece. He was very knowledgeable and practical to my specific needs. I always feel well taken care of here. read more

I would say move on and find a real office. You won't get a free monogrammed chapstick or moist towelettes but you stand you a great chance of getting your questions answered. Just got a call back and they can't get their stories straight. After discussion, they are turning me into "Collections". Good job Dr. K! You have winning staff ( Kim) read more

I've been coming to Dr Kiuftis since he opened his practice! It is so luxurious for a dental office! The staff is beyond friendly and my hygienist is the best. Jenn has been cleaning my teeth for as long as I can remember. She makes me feel comfortable and I actually look forward to my appointments because of her. I love her she is very gentle but gets the job done when it comes to cleaning my teeth. We always have amazing conversations and the time flies by. The wait time to be seen is very minimal and I'd recommend this place! Staff is great and they even have fancy hot face towels which is new. read more

Dr. Kiuftis and Dr. Simpson are both amazing dentists -- very skilled, professional, honest, and great people that you will enjoy being around. Their office is beautiful, modern and clean. And their staff is top notch! Best decision you can make is to schedule your next appointment here! read more

What I thought was a sinus infection turned out to be an infection in my wisdom tooth. I had been in radiating pain for almost 3 weeks. My regular dentist was on vacation so I was referred to Brimhall Dental Group, I loath going to the dentist and cry even during cleanings. Not from pain but just from fear and anxiety. Needless to say this trip was no exception. When I heard my wisdom tooth needed to be extracted the anxiety kicked in. I explained how I don't do well and they assured me they would make sure I was comfortable. They gave me something to take before the procedure to calm me down and I usually use the gas too just to get through. I gave them a 4 star rating because wouldn't you know, they ran out of the gas right before I got there. Had I not taken the calming medication prior I would have left. But since I was drugged up and feeling ok, I went through with it. I just didn't want to have to do it all over again. They assured me it would be quick and easy and thats exactly what it was. Both dentists were great! They explained everything clearly and did so without any pain. I must say, I am glad I was referred to Brimhall Dental Group. The office, the office staff, the dental assistant and of course the 2 Dentists were great! I would recommend and I will return for future dental needs. Had they had the gas available I would have given them a 5. read more

My last visit, Dr. Simpson insisted that the majority of my fillings were bad and wanted to replace them. I trusted him and let him replace several fillings, but not all of them, as I will not be returning to Dr. Simpson for anymore work. My last appointment was a nightmare. The Dr. administered an anesthetic and then said I needed to wait a few minutes for the anasthetic take effect. I then waited around 45 minutes for him to return, enough time for the anasthetic to start to wear off. This lead to the Dr. having to readminister anasthetic mid way through drilling out old fillings, requiring me to have sit agian, waiting for the anasthesia to take effect. After drilling out several fillings, Dr. Simpson was going to give me new fillings. I opted for ceramic fillings. Dr. Simpson put too much ceramic filling material in and on my tooth and let it set up, requiring that he use the drill, brutally, for about 15 minutes to remove the excess ceramic material just to make my tooth a normal shape. My visit was one of worst dental experiences I have had. I scheduled the appointment with more than enough time, but was late to get my son from school, despite letting them know at the beginning of the appointment that I had to pickeck him up. A few months after the visit, I HAD A FILLING FALL OUT THAT DR. SIMPSON HAD DONE. I set up an appointment to try and get the gaping hole from the lost filling fixed. I ended up getting called into work, and had to reschedule. I called to do this the day before my appointment and was told that I would be charged a $50 penalty for canceling 20 hours before, and not 24 hours. I explained that the appointment was to correct the Dr's poor work and that I would gladly reschedule, but was not going to pay the $50. Dr. Simpsons office staff was indifferent to the situation and charged me anyways. read more

Brimhall Dental Group - Said tooth, wishing it still had a filling in it. - General Dentistry Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Seriously who really likes getting their teeth cleaned? Not too many of us enjoy having our mouth wide open with foreign objects being probed in our mouths with a bright light blaring in our eyes, but honestly I had my teeth cleaned by the sweetest most gentle and hilarious dental hygienist named Jennifer! She was absolutely awesome! Best dental experience I've ever had! Can't wait for my next cleaning session! read more

After a very bad experience at a dentist in years past, I had a certain amount of trepidation seeing a dentist for deep cleaning. As it turned out, I had a great experience here because Janet, the RDA who did the cleaning over two sessions, did an excellent job. Highly recommend this dental office. read more

Thank you Brim hall dental group for helping me during an emergency. My gum was swollen and tooth was hurting, I couldn't even open my mouth. I filled out the online appointment form and they called me back immediately. Furthermore, i got the same day appointment and Dr. K took care of my dental needs. I was so nervous but Brimhall Dental group helped me every step of the way. I appreciate Dr K and the ladies for helping me. read more

I'm a client of Dr. Rimmer, whose practice Dr. Kiuftis was previously with. I was recently called by the BDG asking if I wanted to schedule a cleaning. Between that phone call and the postcard I received earlier in the week from BDG that stated "We've Moved" I was under the impression that Dr. Rimmer's practice had moved. This is not true. Dr. Rimmer's practice is where it always has been and is still servicing clients and honoring appointments. This feels to me like BDG is poaching clients through social engineering. I want Dr. Kiuftis and BDG to know that this seems dishonest, disrespectful, and I don't appreciate my personal information being used in this way. read more

This dentist office has been the best; out of all the dentist offices I've been too. The workers are nice and easy to talk to. I couldn't be any happier to know that I've found a dentist that cares about their patients. read more

Love this dentist office.

Dr Kiuftis is great! I met him while he was in dental school many years ago. I never knew anybody who studied as hard as he did.

Best dentist in town. The staff is friendly and make us feel like family. I couldn't ask for a better environment for our family. They work to always het us in as soon as possible. Love doctor Kiuftis and his team!!! read more

So I've been struggling with finding a dentist that makes me comfortable and doesn't give me the run around. I've had two appointments so far and both times I've felt so welcome! I first met with Courtney and she was such a doll! I then met Dr Simpson who gave me a good explanation of what I needed done and what they can offer. It was a quick visit which I didn't mind. I had my second appointment yesterday where I was with the hygienist Jennifer who is just amazing! She was gentle and kept making sure I was comfortable during my cleaning. Met with Dr Simpson again and I just kept getting good vibes from everyone. The environment is amazing! She and I had a great conversation throughout my exam (it was like a little over an hour and a half long lol I needed some work!) and had a lot of laughs especially when I gargled water up onto my face and just couldn't stop laughing. It was as if I was with an old friend. That's how comfortable this office made me feel. I feel like a weight has been lifted since finding their office. I can't imagine going anywhere else now. read more
