I get embarrassingly anxious going to the dentist, so walking into an appointment usually comes…read morewith a lot of stress for me. That was absolutely not the case here. From the moment I arrived, everyone was incredibly kind and patient, from the receptionists and April, to Dr. Slade, the young lady who took my X-rays, and the hygienist. Every single person made me feel seen, cared for, and completely at ease. I never thought I'd say this, but I truly didn't feel stressed at all during my visit. They took their time, explained things clearly, and treated me with so much compassion. It honestly changed the way I feel about going to the dentist. If you're someone who struggles with dental anxiety, I can't recommend this office enough. They made what is usually a very hard experience for me feel calm, safe, and surprisingly easy.

I should have checked the reviews before booking…read more.. When I scheduled my appointment, I explicitly confirmed that my insurance would cover the X-rays and cleaning. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I arrived early, but wasn't called back until 20 minutes past my appointment time. After the X-rays (I think her name was Lola who was wonderful--professional and patient), I sat in the chair for well over an hour. When the doctor finally arrived, I was told my teeth looked good with minimal buildup, yet they presented a $1,500 treatment plan filled with 'add-ons' like laser treatments and cavity preventatives. As someone who brushes and flosses daily, I was shocked. When I declined the extras and requested just the standard cleaning my insurance covers, the doctor became visually irritated. I was then told they 'couldn't' do a basic cleaning without a $200 deep cleaning first. It feels like this office is more interested in upselling than patient care. Unfortunately, they'll still collect the insurance money for the X-rays, but they've lost a patient for life. I asked them to email my X-rays and documents they did collect so I can take it to a better dentist and they didn't... Thanks for nothing, Dr. Espinosa Edit: They called me the same day I posted this review. Maybe in hopes I take it down? But I doubt they call every customer to make sure "they were satisfied with services". Anyway, it was not a valuable conversation.

I've been going to Gold Coast Dental for a few years. My first visit was only a few months after…read morethey opened. I really need to give a huge shout out to Lucy, who works in the office. I've been handling some of the payments for my brother's dental work. I'm not at the appointments with him, so I don't always know what the exact treatment was, how much was paid, or what the balance is regarding. Lucy helped my brother with the HIPAA authorization, and has been great explaining treatment and providing me with paperwork Ive requested. That's the work side. On a more personal level, I always enjoy my short conversations with her. She's always bright, friendly, and smiling. No one likes going to the dentist, but when I walk in the office and I see her there, I know I'm going to have a good visit! Thanks Lucy!

At a moment when I was in fast & desperate needed emergency dental treatment, I trusted Gold Coast…read moreDental to help me. Unfortunately, after further investigation with my insurance company, it was determined that I was substantially overcharged for the services provided. What makes this situation even more disappointing is that the office staff themselves were actually friendly, professional & very knowledgeable throughout the process. It's unfortunate that employees who appear to genuinely care for patients are working under what feels like a dishonest & crooked corporate operation. When patients are vulnerable & seeking emergency care, transparency & ethical billing practices should be the standard & not something patients have to fight to uncover afterward. Personally, I no longer trust this office & will not be returning. Do as you wish, but carefully review your billing, treatment costs & paperwork before agreeing to anything.

It's a high pressure, buzz word sales clinic, I came into this office because I had changed dental…read moreinsurance and my old dental office which I had been going to for years was no under this coverage. I have always been on top of all my dental visits, check-ups, X-Rays and cleanings (3x/year). Come the appointment for cleaning, the hygienist comes in hot and tells me I have major issues with my gums and need to have a deep cleaning ($140 OOP) and laser gum treatment ($400 OOP) then maintain deep cleanings every 2-3 years with routine cleaning every 3 months because of my "advanced gum deterioration" keep in mind my other dental office with routine check-ups and X-rays never found anything wrong nor have I felt anything out of the ordinary. I asked her to just perform routine cleaning and she refused stating that there is no point to doing that and only a deep cleaning and/or laser gum treatment is what is recommended, I was stuck in the moment and the chair I said go ahead and deep clean it. Also note, the only time I ever did a real deep cleaning it was done in two visits with 2 quadrants cleaned at a time, she cranked it out everything so fast so it was basically a normal messy cleaning labeled and charged as a deep clean. After the cleaning I consulted a few hygienist friends I have and got their opinion, a deep cleaning is pretty extreme and almost unnecessary if you've already had one and maintain good hygiene and regular check-ups/cleanings and they all pretty much summed up how some clinics will absolutely be sales driven and up-sell or recommend unnecessary procedures to rack up the bill. I'm going back to my old dental office and paying out of pocket, I had no idea there's a dark side to this industry and it showed here. The whole process did not feel right at all, it was rushed, sales pitch was fast, filled with strong buzz words and fabricated urgency like a used car lot or old gym memberships. I should have just left and went for a second opinion at another office.

We LOVE them all!! So, I finally had the courage to be seen myself. It's been way too long because I have the worst dental anxiety. We're talking tears during just an exam. Dr. Takamatsu and Ashley are the two who have worked on me so far and both have been so patient with me. They take their time and don't make me feel ridiculous for being so scared.

I had veneers done on my top teeth and the results are absolutely beautiful. His work truly speaks for itself. From the beginning, the entire team was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. They genuinely cared about making sure I was comfortable and addressing any pain or concerns I had along the way. That level of care made such a difference. Gloria, the office manager, is so sweet and welcoming, and every single member of the staff is just as kind and professional. You can tell they really care about their patients. I'm so happy with my results and will definitely be going back soon to start Invisalign for my bottom teeth. Highly, highly recommend Pearl Dental Group. I'm so grateful for my new smile! (Sharing a photo of my beautiful new smile too!) Thank you all so much!

I think they thought they were getting out of this one because it's been a while but unfortunately…read morefor them I did not forget what they did to my teeth :) Let me start this by saying I know this can ruin a business but my intent is to warn people to potentially stop it from happening again. First off the overall experience with the doctor specifically was awful, he is extremely rude and quite arrogant in my opinion. He will talk down on you, and just overall seems extremely tired which I get I'm in healthcare but? When you make as much as a Dentist I tend to not care as much. The staff is lovely, kind of forgetful but so am I so I never really minded that. Now let's talk about my teeth, I got my wisdom teeth removed and they really pushed it on me to get them removed in office, which is odd but I tend to trust people that are professionals (shouldn't have). They also pushed me to get all of my fillings replaced and even go on to say I have great insurance, and at this point that should've been a red flag but hey I'm 23 and I'm a bit dense and trusting and it was my first time picking my own dentistry. The wisdom teeth removal was fine and they also decided to do the fillings while I was under. I was told nerve pain would be normal for around a month and unfortunately I got dry socket, maybe my fault not sure... So come to find out the pain is not my nerve it's actually from the filling not being done correctly, which I guess just happens (apparently) ? So at this point I'm told by the doctor I need a crown and root canal $1600 out of pocket for the crown and $300 :) because they maxed out my insurance. I was put under that day, so I was unaware that fillings could fail. I thought it was my wisdom tooth surgery. Anyways I got the root canal done but still unfortunately have pain till this day. I never went back for the crown, because absolutely not! Hey it was a life lesson, don't let it be your lesson.
