    1 star for general incompetence at every turn…read more I was quoted 300 for a dental appliance, and then charged 1,000. After much to do, they eventually honored the original quote. I showed up to receive the appliance, and the assistant appeared with a needle to anesthetize me to fill multiple cavities. I have no cavities, and I had to refuse the shot multiple times before they realized their error. I left the practice and recently emailed to obtain records. After supplying my full name and date of birth, they replied with, "What is your Last name and Date of birth?". It took 11 emails to discover that the dentist who saw me was no longer at the practice, they do not retain records, and to contact him. They sent a long winded excuse, part of which reads: "His office has a new contact number and email address that we do not have on file. We recommend that you search for Dr. Ortega's current practice and contact his office directly to obtain the most up-to-date email address." I googled it, and his new office is...in the same building as White Oaks Dental. It's hilarious that they go out of their way to be unhelpful. If you are looking for a way to test your patience and add stress to your life, dealing with White Oaks Dental may be for you!

    The Unquestionable Tooth…read more I'd been searching for a new dentist for a few years before being referred here by my gf, Carissa, last year. I normally prefer a smaller mom-&-pop type office instead of a dental mill, but this place kinda falls smack dab in the middle of both. The Good: *Dr Cho (the only dentist I've dealt with) is terrific; personable, affable, and tells you exactly what's going on and why. *The entire staff from receptionists to the nurses are all very friendly and can all take a joke. *They accept most insurances, as Carissa and I both have different types of insurance (Delta & Tricare). *They seem to be a one-stop shop for all dental procedures, according to their website. *They figure out your co-pay, and you pay at the end of your visit; no stupid bills in the mail to deal with. *They're very prompt, respect your time, and get you in and out very quickly. *Text reminders, and they will also text you if they have questions or issues that arise, which I prefer. Phone calls are giant PiTa, especially if you end up paying phone tag. The Meh: *They are *not* a Delta Premiere Dentist, so if you have Delta Dental PPO insurance, then expect to have a co-pay. *Not open on weekends *Maybe I misunderstood, but when I was trying to make an apt recently, I could've sworn the receptionist said they're not open on Fridays? However, their website, Yelp and Google, all show them to be open from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m., so not I'm not exactly sure what that's about. *If you need a 2nd or 3rd visit, then they'll have to be a few weeks apart as apts are hard to come by. The Ugly: *Parking can be a bit of a nightmare at times, as their shared lot is almost always packed and lacks any shade. Street parking, however, does have some shade but can also be hard to come by. So, make sure you give yourself a few minutes before your appointment to find parking. TLDR: Great dental office that makes one of life's annoyances tolerable.

I've had teeth cleanings and a filling repaired, and they've always been gentle and considerate. The parking is easy too :). I moved to One Dental over a year ago when my longtime dentist Dr. Ravizza retired and his new replacements suddenly recommended multiple fillings and even a crown, despite me never having issues before. That didn't sit right with me, which is what led me here--and I'm glad it did. They confirmed that I didn't need that work.

    Very disappointing experience with the front desk staff. I can't comment on the dentists since my…read moreappointment was canceled for no reason. In March, I made an appointment for May 28th as a first time client. Shortly after scheduling, I received a text asking if I'd be interested in an opening sooner to which I replied yes. I provided my availability and stated I was flexible and could come most afternoons. I received a reply shortly after asking if I'd like to come the next day for a morning appt. Um no. I had already clearly stated I could do AFTERNOONS. Two weeks later I get a call and then a text asking if I'd like to be added to the "ASAP list". I thought I already was?! I was contacted AGAIN a few days later asking about my availability. How many times do I have to spell out I can come in the afternoons?! By this point, they're too much and I ask that they take me off the list. It's too much communication. May 27th comes along and I realize I've received no communication about my appointment on the 28th. I text them to find out they canceled my appointment. I NEVER told them to cancel my appointment. I simply didn't want to be constantly bothered about their "ASAP list". It's really unacceptable that they canceled an appointment I waited almost 3 months for. I was really hoping to have a good dentist 5 minutes from my house but no such luck. I was not interested in rescheduling as I completely lost trust in this office.

    I got a new job and enrolled in their dental plan, which included a list of in-network dentists. I…read morewent through all of them in my area and checked out their Yelp pages. After narrowing it down based on ratings, number of reviews, review quality, office size, and hours, I was left with three options. I chose Orchard, and I made the right choice. This place has great ratings, which is pretty rare for medical offices for some reason unless it's a new Yelp page or one that people just haven't bothered reviewing. It's kind of like how fast-food restaurants and clubs always seem to have low ratings for some reason. Anyway, the reviews here are great too. If there are any bad reviews, you kind of have to use your judgment to figure out whether it's a one-off situation or just an unreasonable customer. This isn't one of those huge offices with a bunch of chairs lined up like the DMV, where they're just churning patients through like an assembly line. I hate those places because they always overbook, and I end up waiting forever for an appointment. Even when I show up on time, I still have to wait a long time before being seen. I work late on weekdays and can't really take time off during the day. On weekends, I usually catch up on sleep and don't want to spend my day off running errands. They're not always available on Tuesdays either, which can mean an even longer wait for appointments. That's why the fact that they're open until 7 PM on Tuesdays is a huge plus for me. As you can tell from the pictures, the office is very clean, modern, and well-equipped. The staff has always been friendly, and they've been very understanding about my tardiness and occasional cancellations to the point where I feel like they should hate me, but they definitely don't act like it. They also seem to have the latest and greatest equipment... I think. I'm mostly judging that based on how much more advanced their machines looked compared to every other dental office I've been to. Overall, this place is great.

    I came to my appt on time in March for a consultation of which I promptly paid for afterwards as…read moreonly then, I was told when I arrived that they were not an in network dentist for my insurance and i had to pay out of pocket for the consultation. They wanted my full medical history of which in complied to do using a computer program on an iPad. After going through at least 15 screens answering a multitude of questions would not let me submit. I asked if I could just fill out a paper copy as the time was already past the appointment time. I was told no by the office assistant that the information had to be added into the computer. The office assistant then helped me by inputing the information herself and it still did not allow her to submit. She continued with me for another 40 minutes trying to get it to submit insisting they needed the information this way. I am very senior and exhausted and I wasn't sure if the computer even took the input. I saw the dentist briefly. I told her the problem with my teeth and she wanted photographic pictures. A dental assistant took another 45 minutes trying to get these pictures. By this time, the office visit turned into 2 hours. I was so exhausted by this, that I left the office never wanting to return because the staff appeared incompetent. They wanted me to come back for teeth/bite impressions. Never did I get a cost for this or a plan as to what could be done. Further to this, I never officially received a recommendation and at end of April I left a voicemail but never got a return call. I tried again lately and asked if I could get any recommendations from my visit. It was pulling teeth to get anything from the office assistant. The dentist gets high reviews but the way I was treated and informed was not OK

It wasn't painful thankfully but they still treated it with urgency and booked me as early as I was available Monday morning, even called to offer an earlier time that day which I definitely took. I met with the staff and Dr. Dang. She took the time to listen to my concerns, hear my complaining about the totally unrelated gap in the front of my teeth because I didn't want to wear a retainer as the lazy defiant teenager I was, lol, and she even walked me through what she was doing (I have a curious mind!). I also asked about Invisalign but told her I heard it was pricey enough to make all my filling pop out. Dr. Dang fixed the filling and introduced a creative way to close the gap and wow! Who needs Invisalign. I didn't expect much given my gap but she figured out a new way to make it happen for me. I haven't had a gapless smile in over 10 years. Fun fact. I had a bit of a lisp when I talked before and voila. It's gone. I don't miss it. lol We might not really think about it but from my perspective, there is art in dentistry. I don't know how she did it but it looks great seriously. Whether I book my appointment with Dr. Phan or Dr. Dang, both are super patient, they listen and don't answer right away (a good thing in my mind). They think and walk me through potential options. The good ole days when doctors listened. I don't have to worry about them not listening here. Anyway, I'm super happy with my results and will continue to be a patient here fosho.
