The office is clean and welcoming. The receptionists do their best but I've had an hour wait time minimum each time and I couldn't afford for my time to keep being disrespected like that when I'm used to top service at my regular dental office. Additionally, the cleaning I received was not up to my standards. Thankfully my new insurance allows me to go back to my original dental office because this place is not it.

I have been visiting this place for 10+ years, the treatment and attention have been decent. As…read moretime went by, I changed employers, which offered me very basic health insurance. Since then the attention of this place changed drastically; From the point where they organized an appointment for me on a Saturday, which they confirmed the day before and when I arrived at the place it was closed. No one bothered to let me know that they were not working. But the most unpleasant experience was with this Dr. Guzman whom I admired. In one of the routine visits, I told her about a pimple or lump on the gum above a tooth, I showed her that that part was painful. Her response was, we can check it later, for now we are going to offer you the exchange of a crown for another tooth (which did not hurt and was still fine) for the price of $4000. Completely ignoring my state of health. I recently visited another local dentist and just by taking the x-rays, he identified the problem, he immediately informed me of what to do, the problem that caused it and the treatment he would use as well as the payment facilities. We have already started treatment, which makes me feel safe and calm, because this doctor shows interest in my health. Not in selling me a product.

I was a patient here for two years. At first, everything seemed great--friendly staff, convenient…read morelocation--but the actual care left a lot to be desired. From my very first visit, I was surprised at how little time the dentist spent with me. That only got worse over time. One filling turned into the most painful, drawn-out dental procedure I've ever had--and it wasn't even a complex one. I also raised concerns about teeth grinding and shifting, and was completely dismissed without any real discussion. I left that appointment feeling brushed off and unheard. Scheduling was another major issue. They couldn't accommodate a standard six-month cleaning schedule, booked me eight months out, and when I asked to be put on a cancellation list, they never followed up. Then they canceled on me two days before my appointment. At that point, I gave up. It's clear there are some kind and well-meaning people on staff, but my experience with the dentist and overall care was disappointing and, frankly, frustrating. I'm moving on to a new provider.

I was so scared of going to the dentist after a horrific experience ~5 years ago. However, I knew I needed to go in, and after receiving a promotional consultation flier and reading the wonderful reviews, I decided to go for it. I am so happy I did! Not only was every step of the process clearly explained to me, but the entire staff (including Dr. Gupta, his reception staff, and the dental assistants and hygienists), were extraordinarily kind and accommodating. I was very scared and anxious about the work I needed done on my teeth, but those fears were quickly alleviated by the level of care I received. I was also explained in-depth the cost and offered a couple of different payment options before my treatment, which was very helpful. The clean, modern office was very impressive. Dr. Gupta's aptitude for painless anesthesiology and his quick, precise work made a procedure which I feared for years extremely easy to get through. He also took photos of the before/after work, which was personally very interesting to see. He has excellent "bedside" manner, never making me feel rushed with and taking the time to fully answer all questions I had. I will never go to another dentist again! Thank you Dr. Gupta and your wonderful staff.

Extremely predatory scheduling tactics. They will do everything to keep you paying for more visits…read more Was mislead about when my next appointment was and was screwed out of my 6 month exam because the office staff mislead me about when my next appointment was and what my insurance was covering. They had me go in for an "emergency" that was not even an emergency, and waited until I was already finished with the appointment to tell me that taking a piece of food out of my tooth would count as my visit- leaving out the fact that I was scheduled for a regular checkup the following week. This is not the first time situations like this have happened and the woman who is the office manager has been extremely rude while smirking over these issues. After 5 years at a dentist office I really loved, I feel taken advantage of and screwed out of my regular checkup. Would not recommend this office. I want to be clear - The dental hygienist staff are amazing - they are not part of this bad review. And until this date, I had no negative interactions with this dentist office outside of the office manager making snotty comments such as "only people with money can afford to have teeth."
