I've been going to Dr. Crespo for more 10+ years. This is the most I've ever felt comfortable with a dentist and it shows. Dr. Crespo is extremely kind and I've never felt judged by his words and that's something that is extremely important to me. I felt that he's always been honest, but not rude about what dental work needed to be done. Instead of ridiculing you, you tells you what can be done moving forward and I think your dentist should make you feel comfortable and wanting to come back. Dr.Crespo is usually booked for awhile so if you're planning on making an appointment, make it far in advance. The girls in the front are very polite and always suggest to be but on the cancellation list in case someone cancels they would try to swap me in. My overall experience has been great and I'll continue to go back for many years to come. read more

Dr Francisco Macías, is so caring, very friendly and does the best job possible to fit your needs and pocket

Terrible customer service there was 2 receptionist I got there 10 mins before my appointment driving thru traffic on the Richmond bridge. Elizabeth said she wouldn't be able to take me in because I had a lot of paperwork to do. Instead of holding me up even more I could've been signing. I have an urgent matter and I waited 4 months for my appointment for her to excuse me like that. Please don't work somewhere you don't desire to be at especially concerning someone's health. Elizabeth for being a "manager" definitely needs training on customer service and client experience. read more

truely a 1 star disappointment made a appointment showed up 30 mins early as requested asked me for ID and insurance card handed lady my I'd and insurance card then she proceeded to tell me I was supposed to have a different insurance card ? I have had same insurance for 10 years never received a different style card so next words were unfortunately we can't keep your appointment sir would you like to pay $99.00 to keep your appointment? I said no she says have a nice day ??? WOW. talk about taking care of a patient or maybe trying to just call the insurance or? no reguarding for the fact that I have a broken extremely painful tooth injury and they are a medical office entrusted by the state to keep the publics best interest at heart? no no not at this place:(. so point of this rant is don't waste your time here they are heartless and do not care snything about they public or clients NOTHING--zip- zeroNADA read more

To start off, the Receptionists were very friendly right off the bat. I could tell that i walked in on a good business the day I went for a tooth extraction. Speaking of dental work, I met my dentist, Dr Crespo. Friendly and very assuring. Couldn't have put my dental and oral health in the hands of someone else! Extraction was quick, clean and out in under 30 minutes. Seriously, don't skip out on your dental appointments, especially if you live near to this facility. Look no more! Seriously recommend! But don't take my word, just give them a try! read more

Just here to say my thoughts are still the same. This office is still serving the community with a smile. The office lady's are super sweet, bilingual (most of the staff is), they know me by name. They pretty much make me feel like family. Dr. Crespo is the best. It always feels like I'm catching up with a family friend. If you're looking for a dentist in the Richmond/San Pablo area, check em out! read more

Great people , friendly service totally recommended

First time coming in and everyone was wonderful. I genuinely don't understand how the place has negative reviews. It's not the same as Western Dental that's for sure. I was afraid of coming here because of the reviews but honestly it's great i can't complain. Please come to this place with an open mind and in general don't expect it to be bad as the reviews make it to be. It's great and everyone including the dentists make everything easier and work like a team. read more

I went in today as an emergency appointment as my son chipped his tooth. Not only was staff super friendly but Dr. Cesar Macias talked to my son step by step what he would do. He took his time not only to explained to me the long term possibilities but also solutions. For first time patients we were treated as VIP. Would highly recommend them. Before and after picture, as if nothing occurred. Thanks Dr. Macias! read more

I went to Dr. Crespo for a routine check-up and a cleaning, the cleaning lasted 15 minutes. I was not happy with the cleaning at all, I am a heavy black tea drinker so after the so call cleaning my teeth were still full of stains. I went back again because I was told I need it a filling in one of my teeth and to get an impression taken for a Nightguard. I was told the night guard was for the upper teeth but that wasn't what I got. I went to get my night guard after 2 weeks and I realized the office was closed, but I never received a call letting me know the office would be closed due to the pandemic. When they finally opened I called to get my night guard sent to me because I didn't feel comfortable going to the office to pick it up and the receptionist told me I couldn't do that. She also said that due to the extra protocols they had to follow I had to pay an additional $20 even though my night guard was done and process before the pandemic happened. She told me that if I didn't pay the $20 fee I wouldn't get my night guard. I reminded her I have insurance and she said that didn't matter, I still had to pay. I reminded her that they are under contract with my insurance and they couldn't by law charge me whatever they wanted, but then again she said NO PAID FEE NO NIGHT GUARD. I was very unhappy with this office. I called my insurance and told them what happened and they said they are not allowed to do that, that is why they are under contract with them. I went to get my night guard, I reported them to my insurance and that was the last time I went to this awful office. We are in a pandemic where people are losing their jobs and don't have money to pay for housing and offices like this one are trying to make a buck from the situation. It is very sad to see how businesses take advantage of the situation read more

I had an appointment at 12: 00, it was my first time visit at that office, I was so scared after going to Western dental in El cerrito, I was wrong! Staff was very nice office was very clean everyone was so professional, I will be going back. Western dental was a nightmare! And a ripoff! read more

My Husband when in to get a rut- canal done today was charged 69.00 for X-rays days befor, while they were working on him after 1\2 hr . Dr. CRESPO STOPPED the procedure and told him he was not able to finish of the rut-canal ,he then said he was going to refer him to another Dentist.. This is amazingly ridiculous! ! My husband then asked Dr.CRESPO how long he has been in this practice , Dr.CRSPO told him 20 years then he refrased himself to 24 years , really I don't thinks so .. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, SERVICE!!! I had no choice but to give a star so I can post this Horrible service, but We give him a big 0 No porque hablen Español se dejen que este Dentista aga lo que quiera con ustedes, no pudo terminar con un rut-canal , le dejó a mi esposo el trabajo a medias y lo mando con otro dentista! ! Esta sumamente terrible este servicio que dentista deja a sus pacientes a medias... ABRAN LOS OJOS Y NO SE DEJEN!!!! read more

Prior to having a bad experience at Contra Costa Dental which is down the street, I had a bad experience at this location. Here are some of the problems/issues that came up: 1. This office overbooks. They schedule appointments in such close succession (I went when they only had one dentist - I believe they now have two). This leads patients to not be seen by the dentist until 20-30 minutes after their appointment. 2. They do something called "upselling," a common practice in retail which of course shouldn't happen within a dental office. For each new patient and for each check-up, they recommend x amount of work that should be done. This work may not even be necessary if you get a 2nd opinion. 3. Parking here is a huge issue. Overall, the business itself will continue to do well considering the lack of Spanish speaking dentists in the area and the fact that San Pablo is 90% Latin@. read more

I've been going to them for 6 months. This place is great. They keep up with all the dental work I need. read more

Crespo Dental - General Dentistry Near Me - San Pablo, California

I came to this office years ago; I also referred my family big mistake I made. The dentist here told me I had a rut canal and other dental issues. I feel so embarrassed I let my teeth get this way. I was not so convince on his results since I was not experiencing pain or discomfort with my teeth so I decided to get a second opinion turn out I did not have a rut canal and all of the other stuff the dentist had advice me. I fell so ashamed with my mother and sister since they had also experience the same the dentist told them they needed more dental work there insurance wouldn't cover. I advice them to get a second opinion and once again same result this dentist place is out to charge for unnecessary procedures just to make money big surprise. The bad thing is they have a lot of Spanish speaking patient that don't understand and will continue coming here to be ripped off. read more

Please read if you want to save your money!! I went to this dentist for a cleaning and left being told I needed 2 crowns which I'm 24 and to be honest I haven't taken the best care of my teeth when I was younger so I imagined that to be true. However, something didn't sit right with me I just had a weird feeling so when they asked to book the appointment saying it would be around $1,000 and I would need to come up with half before the appointment and then the other half the day of I decided I would research this dentist...I never look up reviews I try to give every place a shot but after looking up reviews I'm glad I did.. please listen to these reviews!!! They try to push crowns or other expensive dental care on you that you dont need! I went to this dentist that has great reviews yesterday and I was told all I needed was a filling and no I don't need crowns at all! If you want a good dentist and a good second opinion go to William Van Dyk DDS he's amazing! read more

I had not been to the Dentist in like 2yrs since I did not have dental insurance. Once my benefits kicked it I decided to give this place a chance since my mom would take my sister here when she was little and it is close to home. First visit, Dr Crespo had a long list of things I "needed" including 2 crowns. Before the crowns were done he did some fillings. However, for some reason I was always over charged and they would just give me "credit." So please check your insurance receipts. Finally, I got my crown done and Dr Crespo assured me I needed another one. And he was always really pushy about me getting more work done, like getting my wisdom teeth pulled, even tho they are all out and I have the space. I have no pain so I'm not getting them pulled. I was suppose to return for my second crown, but something didn't feel right so I never went back. I still feel I was over charged for my first one. So I went to a different dentist and there's nothing wrong with my teeth. I DO NOT need a crown and my new dentist wasn't sure why I was told I did. I'm so glad i didn't go back. Now I'm not even sure I needed the first crown either, but it's too late for that. The staff was always really nice and I'm so disappointed of this place. I will not be going back and I DO NOT recommend this place. Sorry! read more

I was surprised how professional and friendly the staff was at this dental office. They even knew my name before i even met them; this made me feel at home and totally comfortable. I left my other dentist because I had to get a lot of work done, and they wanted way to much money. Dr. Crespo and his office was at least $600 cheaper, but after my experience with him and his staff I would've paid more. He explained everything he was doing and I learned a lot about dentistry in the last month. I had about four visits in the last month and my longest wait in the waiting was like 2 minutes. The staff is very friendly from the clerks in the front to the dental assistances. I would recommend Dr. Crespo to everyone, he is beyond amazing! read more

He has billed my insurance company with the wrong dates, so could get a extra $1000.00 besides what he quoted for a denture job. It was done so bad I had to get another re alignment at a different dintest. Which now because what he has done , I now have to wait another 6 months read more

Great dental Practice! Excellent Doctors! Great staff. Very professional and helpful, the doctors are friendly, young and enthusiastic! They all do a GREAt JOB! The staff is very friendly and comforting makes you feel welcomed . Definitely recommend this Dental office! read more

Terrible customer service!! Don't go here! I went to this dentist three times and each time I left I booked my next cleaning appointment 6 months out. Every time my scheduled appointment was about to come up, the front staff would say I didn't have an appointment, even though I had a card they had filled out confirming the date and time. I asked to have my records transferred to another dentists and the front staff said I could not do that and they would have to destroy them. Each of my appointments had brand new people who were learning the job as they went and the staff seems to be a revolving door. I requested Dr. Crespo call me so I could give him some constructive feedback about my service. I called twice and the front desk finally called me back and said he would not be calling me. Dr. Crespo is an ok dentist, but he was very rough when filling two of my cavities. They also try to upsell you on a lot of products you don't need (my mom was a hygienist). I highly recommend finding another dentist. read more

Second time here, not coming back. My appointment was at 10 I scheduled it a week in advance due to my busy work schedule. Thinking I'll be out in 30 min I was wrong. An hour went by and they kept on calling on other people but me. I stood up and immediately cancel my appointment they tried to fix it right away or re schedule but they need to understand that not all of us will put up with bad service especially if we are paying for it. It's now 11 and I barely got out. So PLEASE avoid this place. Go somewhere that will get the job done because remember YOU are paying for it. read more

The neighborhood isn't the best, and I wasn't sure what to expect. I went to the office because they had the first available appointment for me, and I'm glad that I did. The office is extremely clean, and very well kept. Dr Crespo is professional but relaxed. They have modern technology and knowledgeable staff that are on the ball. The worst part about my root canal was how boring it was, which is awesome! read more
