My wife called ahead to schedule our son's 9:00am appointment and was told everything was good. After driving 50 minutes to get there, we were informed that our HMO insurance is not accepted. This should have been verified during the phone call, especially when scheduling the appointment. Gas and time are not cheap, and it was very frustrating to make that trip for nothing. I understand mistakes happen, but better communication and insurance verification would prevent situations like this for other families. read more

I am not recommending this dentistry specially for those people who need dentures. This office has a foreign language doctor who doesn't speak English at all and need translator and more important all the job would down with young technicians. I did see see doctor to examine my gum and make any recommendation as it is the essential job of dentist. read more

This office really needs an audit the staff here are super disrespectful and direct with their comments my wife was 12 minutes late and the assistant in front felt the need to make it known to her that she is irresponsible for being late then tells us we might get to see the doctor then continues to say how they are super busy and have no time for any new clients first off if the doctor didn't want to see us you could have just said that CUSTOMER SERVICE NEEDS TO BE APPLIED AT THIS BUSINESS I will take my wife els were would never recommend this place to anyone read more

Had trouble getting a cleaning (just relocated)Most local want you to do X-ray/Examination for $200 before cleaning This office wanted $40. Dr. Soler suggested basic cleaning for $100, scraping, pumice. (My brother insurance no good). Most local insist on Deep Cleaning for $400. Office very pleasant. Spanish Speaking. Dr. Soler very gentle and pleasant. She originally from South America- Seems happy in USA. read more

This place is amazing!!! I'd give them 100 stars if I could. I refused braces as a teenager and regretted it. I've always been self conscious about my teeth and as an adult I never smiled. I'm 50 years old so that's a long time. I don't like going to the dentist because it always hurts. I was referred to Diamond Lake Dental and canceled my first 2 appointments because of the fear I've had of dentists since a child. My wife talked me into finally going and I was completely shocked after the first appointment. I've never had a novocain shot without pain but Dr. Soler knows something other dentists don't because I never felt a thing. I ended up getting 6 root canals and 6 crowns on my upper teeth and not once was I in pain. And the final result was amazing. When they placed the crowns to see how they fit they handed me a mirror for me to take a look. I literally had tears rolling down my cheeks when I saw them. Doctor Soler saw my tears and she teared up as well because she saw how happy I was. She is a dentist who truly cares about her patients. This place literally changed my life and I can't thank Dr. Soler and her assistant Karla enough. They are absolute amazing at what they do. Give them a chance, you won't regret it. read more

This is the worst dental office that I've ever been to. Patient care sucks, I had an appointment at10am, I never even seen the dentist after waiting over a hour after my appointment. The dentist kept over looking me and help only Mexican patients and not me. I will never recommend this place to anyone that's Black, because they're racist against black people. read more

hello, I had a lot wrong with my mouth and teeth when I went to diamond Lake dental. I've had some really bad experiences with other Dentist. and was very discouraging to get my teeth taken care of. But I was referred to diamond Lake dental and everything changed. I went through a lot of medical problems during my treatment with diamond Lake dental they were so patient and so willing to help me work things out when I finally got to the work I . They always make sure I was comfortable happy and that I could work with the appointment times they help me with financing and getting everything taken care of now I'm at the end of my dental journey, and I am so pleased with their help. And always being there to reason with me about the uncomfort abilities, they come with having your teeth taken care of after years of regret and neglect. my teeth are so comfortable and so pretty now I can eat normal foods and enjoy my life more. I sleep better. I am so happy they were patient with me. I was not an easy patient, but they always came at me with and helping through the process every step of the way, thank you diamond Lake dental I will never leave you as long as you're there. You will do my teeth or anything I need towards my oral hygiene I couldn't say more about the compassionate caring team that is there and about the work they do and they take pride in it. They want us to have healthy teeth, and they want us to feel taken care of. I would not have completed what was needed without their guidance and help. They went out of their way and they continue to go out of their way for read more

Horrible experience. Went in for a root canal and 3 days later the "permanent" filling had fallen out leaving me with a huge HOLE in my tooth. Called and explained the situation and was able to get a same day appointment. Once they took a look and saw the hole the dental assistant stated they could not fix it. That since it was a referral only my primary could do permanent fillings. I asked her why they did the filling if they weren't suppose to and she just said "oh one of the doctors likes to do them" Why would they do something they weren't "suppose" to do. Then do a horrible job and not fix their mistakes??? Now I am wasting more time and money to get it redone somewhere else. If you are able to I suggest you DO NOT go here. read more

Dr Solano is honest and will be direct about what your prescribed course of action needs to be. I came here for a 2nd opinion from my normal dentist. Super helpful staff who will go above and beyond. read more

This dentist does mediocre work at best and strings along the visits to insure they get as much as they can from your insurance. I walked in today with an appointment when I walk I see no one at the front desk so I decided to wait and I kid you not I waited for at least 15 mins before someone came up and checked me in and I know they weren't up there for at least 20 mins because said she had bee waiting for someone as well. How are you running a business have no one greeting your customers or have the common courtesy to have one of over 10 employees say someone will be right with you. Once I'm done with my treatment here I won't return even if the work was free. read more

Office staff was fast , efficient and friendly. I went in for a new patient exam and was very happy with the experience..

The one in Hemet is beyond horrible in all aspects of it . No words can explain my experience I had today and I am beyond disappointed with everything that has happened with my appointment . I do not recommend this dentist in Hemet to no one . !!! read more

I recently had a deep cleaning at Diamond Lake Family Dental. I was amazed how little discomfort I experienced. Tammy is a real pro as well as the rest of the staff. This is my place for all my dental work from here on ... I highly recommend Diamond Lake Family Dental. read more

I brought my son here needing a consult. And this was the dirtiest office I have ever been to. The cabinets were falling off the hinges with stickies warning people! The vest they place over my son to do X-rays had someone else's blood on it. The Dr came in telling me she can do the oral in plant for my son in the next couple weeks. He is 11 and his jaw has not stopped growing yet. By far the worst. Not to mention the smell of sewer inside the office. read more

After I confirmed my pharmacy with the receptionist, they still sent my daughters prescriptions to the wrong pharmacy and I waited in line 2 days for them to tell me that they didnt have the order. When I tried to call the office to speak to someone (during business hours) the line rang and rang then an automated message came and and told me to leave a message, then hung up on me multiple times. read more

Thanks to Dr. Skinner and his staff. read more

Our whole family goes to Dr Skinner's office and we feel very confident in his abilities and love the office staff!

Excessive wait times. Terrible customer service. Super expensive even with insurance.

Dr Skinner office was good when I had good insurance. After 18 mo of no insurance I went back to office and everything had changed. The Dr. wanted to do a lot of unnecessary procedures and the front office staff is VERY RUDE and INCOMPETENT. I had to file a grievance against then with my insurance company, and then a month later to re-enforce their incompetence and greedyness they attempted to bill my current insurance company for procedures completed and paid for 3 years ago. I believe my current insurance co. reported them to the state for their actions towards me. They tried to tell me I needed dentures and it would cost me over $19,000 for the upper. WTH? No way. When I asked for the estimate for my insurance co they became very rude towards me. I walked into the office on a Monday am because I had a tooth chip off over the weekend. At first they said they would see me immediately so while I was waiting I asked for printed estimate....all of a sudden my appt was scheduled to the next day. The following day they told me it was rescheduled to Wednesday, I show up and office is closed because dentist is out golfing (or whatever excuse they use for closing mid-week) at this point I filled another grievance with my insurance co. I've notice in the past 6 mo the office has changed names and seems to be begging for customers. Even when I was a patient there I noticed there were never any other patients, the waiting room always empty and 1/2 the exam/treatment rooms are dark and empty. Dr. Skinner really needs to reign in his front office staff, they're out of control, rude, use deceptive billing methods, and tried to bill for procedures preformed and paid for by another insurance co 3 yrs ago to a new insurance co. They're billing prices are absorbent. Worst dental office I've ever been to. read more

I had some major work done on my teeth and I had been searching for a good dentist. I ended up going to Mexico and being misdiagnosed by other oral surgeons. Thank the good Lord I found Dr. Skinner. Him and his staff are the most professional and gentle dentists group I've ever encountered! Thank you for your excellent evaluation! read more

Visiting a dentist office can be a rigorous task for anyone to undertake. The Staff at Diamond lake dental displayed exemplary customer service, making sure I was consistently informed of the treatments being rendered. Before my appt at Diamond lake dental, I was told that I could not receive invisalign, Dr Skinner and his great staff took a chance on me and I was able to receive the necessary care for invisalign. The front desk staff fostered a comfortable environment for all of their patients, I could not speak better of this office. read more

The staff and Dr Skinner were all nice and helpful. My husband has been to 3 dentists in the past five weeks, getting exams and ex-rays. Our old dental office changed dentists and they were too far so we were shopping for another dentist...The bottom line was this: Dentist #! took our insurance and wanted $1,000.00 for a few crowns and a few fillings but was located 100 miles away. Dentist #3 wanted $2,000.00 but didn't accept our insurance (that's why it was a higher price for the same work). Dr Skinner wanted us to pay (with our insurance) over $5,000.00, for loads of treatment the other two dentists said he didn't need. Deep perio cleanings that were NOT needed, and crowns that he didn't have to have. Sure, if we wanted everything replaced with new crowns because the old ones were not perfect,I could understand. But we only wanted to fix the stuff with decay that REALLY needed fixing. Even the perio measurements he charted himself were about 2 mm deeper than what the other offices charted. I wouldn't go there again unless I had a raging toothache and no one else was available. read more

I saw Dr Skinner for an implant a few weeks ago. He was so professional and very gentle. He explained the treatment every step of the way. It was obvious to me he knew what he was doing. His assistant Letty was friendly and reassuring. She made me feel very comfortable. The rest of the staff was knowledgeable and friendly. If you are looking for a great dentist, this is the place to go in the Hemet area! read more

We never have a wait long and he gets me in when I need to be seen. They are a happy/fun bunch and empathetic to your needs. read more

Everything went well except they charged me 90 dollars for irragation which they did not do the hygienists should of told the front office to not charge them when I ask they wanted to do it right then but the hygienist said the pockets were clean and no bleeding so why would you irrigate? So I'm hoping that was an over site and they don't do that to everyone but I did like the office over all read more

We took our child here for only his second visit ever to a dentist because he was having a problem with his tooth not falling out all the way. It took 43min past his appointment time for us to even get into to see the dentist. Only for him to look at his teeth for 5min and leave to deal with a phone call. While he was there, he didn't even seem to know how to use the computer and was asking me to read what it said because he couldn't see it. Hmm..probably not a good quality for your dentist to have. All the while this was going on, we kept getting asked if we'd prefer to wait out in lobby while they saw our child. We kept telling them it was fine and we would just wait in there because wasn't a big deal for us to wait in the room. Why not? Which was a good thing considering they weren't even in there a half the time we were there. Plus our son was a little nervous because he thought they'd need to pull his teeth out and heard from a friend at school that it hurt. After about another 15min of waiting for a nurse, she came in and told us the dentist wanted to talk to us in his office...ok? He began telling us that he sensed a lot of "angst" in the room from us and our child and he could tell that we "smother him too much" and he can't work with that and has to refer us to another dentist that can deal with a child like that....??? Huh?!?!? He was literally in the room with us for 5min, asked us some questions. Didn't do anything besides say he noticed a small cavity on one of his teeth, asked me to read his screen for him, and than left to take a phone call and then never came back again. We didn't even say a word beyond "hi" while in the room until he asked us questions. After being talked down too from the dentist, even though he said "I'm not saying anything against you as parents," really? Because that's exactly what you just did. We were so livid at that point we just kept our mouths shut, got the referral that we won't be using and left as fast as we could. I've never had a doctor or dentist give us parenting advice after spending 5 min with us and lecturing us on not leaving our child alone in the room with people that we don't know! Why was it so important to be alone with him anyway?! I'm sorry if we seem to care about our son but that's just how we are I guess. Never ever ever again will I go back to a dentist in Hemet again. read more
