Thank you so much Dr. Lee for giving him the confident smile that he now proudly uses in every photo! This office has a very comfortable feel to it and all the staff are very nice.

Adulting can be hard, and it was time for me to finally pick a new dentist since I recently moved…read moreand wanted something a bit closer. I looked at reviews for all the local dentists in my area, and found Dr. Hong only a block away. I simply can't complain. First, I was greeted by Shanon, at the front desk, and she is amazing! She not only is able to tell you your exact portion you will be paying out-of-pocket, she is amazing at scheduling. Shanon makes it easy that you are able to make a plan (financially) of all your dental procedures so that you won't go over your insurance maximum, and so that you can budget your expenses before hand. This way, you're not caught off guard when you receive the dental bill. Scheduling is awesome as well as she actually calls you back when there are openings. I feel like other dentists/doctors never get back to me when I ask for any earlier openings when people cancel their appointments! Shanon e-mails you to confirm any appointments, and they even text you to make things even more convenient if you need to reschedule, cancel, or confirm an appointment. Then, there's the staff. Dr. Hong seems very knowledgeable, and is very easy to talk to. I knew I needed to get some work done since I had not been to a dentist in a few years, and Dr. Hong personally sat me down in her office, and went over a plan to get me back on track. That alone made me feel like an important patient. From there, they were able to tell me exactly how much each procedure would take, and how to get the most out of my insurance plan. Other noticeable staff include Rebecca, the dental assistant. She always is fun to talk to during my visits and makes going to the dentist less stressful. And Judy, the hygienist, has also helped me get my gums back on track and healthy in about a year or so! Overall, the staff is very professional, knowledgeable in their specialties, and provide excellent customer service. Sometimes going to the dentist can be dreadful, but I don't get that feeling at all when I come here. I'm lucky I chose them at of all the dentist in the Sparks area, and I recommend them strongly.

24 Jan 2019 UPDATE After my tooth extraction back in March…read more2018; I've continued to have my teeth periodically cleaned by Misty Baker. I only have 10 teeth & am pleased with the personal attention & thoroughness of Misty's expertise. I look forward to my next scheduled appointment with Misty on 24 May 2019. ================================================ On 6 Feb 2017 I arrived at the appointed time & had a tooth extracted, to my satisfaction. 17 Mar 2018, a Saturday morning, I arrived unannounced, no appointment, & had been in pain since Tuesday. The staff readily got me into X-Ray dept for the preliminary. Once seated in the dental chair, a young woman came in & introduced herself as Dr. Melanie Kim. First thing I noticed is she has small hands which is what I want for my child-size mouth. I'm 73 years old & know my teeth are nearing the end of the road. I have no front teeth just a few molars for chewing, all of which are in poor condition. I reasonably expect all my teeth will need to be extracted within the next 2 years, at most all of which I explained to Dr. Kim who listened attentively. I further explained I'd been in pain since Tuesday & presently had so much pain on the upper left side molars I was afraid my head wouldn't fall off. Additionally, the gums of my 3 molars on the left side were tender to the touch. She asked for her Dental Assistant to take Xrays of the upper two molars on the left side. After examining the teeth & looking at the Xrays, Dr. Kim agreed that trying to "save any teeth" is not a good option. Dr. Kim quickly agreed that one, perhaps both upper molars on the left side may need to be extracted & that the Xrays appear to show an infection inbetween both teeth. Only one tooth was sensitive to my tongue & Dr. Kim's instruments. Her prognosis was that the one tooth definitely needed to be extracted, so I was anethesised & readied for the extraction. I was pleased that Dr. Kim appeared to know what she was doing, no hesitation, no apprehension, she dug right in. I requested & was given a 2nd shot of novacane. Dr. Kim extracted the tooth in what seemed to me to be a relatively short time. She confirmed that there was an infection between the two teeth AFTER the one tooth had been extracted, but that it appeared the other tooth was unaffected by the infection. I wasn't given any pain prescription. Dr. Kim told me to alternated between Extra Strength Tylenol & Ibuprofen every 4-6 hours, however, I didn't need that much medication. For the first time since Tuesday, I went to bed sedated & slept soundly. When I awoke Sunday morning my mouth & teeth were back to normal, no pain, no sedation, no tender gums around the 3 molars in my jaw on the left side. I have an appointment on Friday to see Dr. Melanie Kim whom I consider extremely well qualified whose expertise I highly value. At that time we'll discuss options for further treatment. I was lucky to draw Dr. Kim on my unscheduled, EMERGENCY walk-in. I've read all the reviews for Spanish Springs Modern Dentistry. I noticed Dr. Kim has several favorable reviews dating back to 2015, which means she has been there for 3+ years, which means she is doing something RIGHT for her employer & her patients. At no time did Dr. Kim try to sell me on more expensive treatments. Shame on me for not including the names of all other "Staff" who were all courteous, helpful, & professional. I cop a plea of being in pain. I will update this review after my upcoming Friday appointment with Dr. Melanie Kim.

As a matter of fact, the front office was so kind and professional that I decided to try it for myself. I am so glad I did. I am beyond pleased with the dental hygienist and Margaret Heinen.

I had basic questions answered over the phone and was able to make an appointment on the next day! I even called back to switch times and this was done accordingly. The initial appointment was friendly. They are high tech from the new patient questionnaire to the final signatures. Dr. Lin was nice in looking over my xray and givingn me options on the next step to take. He gave me a minute to think over my options and the receptionist gave me a breakdown of pricing. I didnt feel pressured and this was a big big deal since these visits are usually co$$$$$tly. Once I decided my demise, Dr. Lin was very thorough in telling me what he is doing and making sure I breathe correctly during procedure. He warned me of possible pressure and pain and stayed consistent in telling me to breathe. The new office member was able to watch my extraction. The procedure was painless and done in minutes. Dr. Lin tried to show me my tooth and accidentally dropped it. Though that was a bit unsanitary the clinic overall was sanitarily comfortable to be at despite the circumstances!

Be very aware if you go here.

Could not have found a Better Dentist in Sparks or Reno. Now that it has been some time I have got to say they were good at fooling me. Dr York did not listen to me and he said he could not help me with partials I was a smoker trying to quiet at that time. He told me I need dentures. So I had no other choice but to say yes. Months later I got 21teeth pulled and had dentures. Not only was it bad thing but I was not able to get them to stay so I could not eat anything but soup for 4 months. It got so bad that I was put on suicide watch. I was able to find someone to help me get out of this mess. And now I can eat. I would not recommend DrYork or this office to anyone. The billing department is contacted with insurance companies for an agreed price and no more than that amount. They push the extra back to the patient and this not agencies the insurance policies. When asked to talk to the billing department they said that they can only email them and they do not have a phone number. They referred to get me any information. So since all of this I had to get a 49,000.00 dollar loan to get everything fixed. And I'm still waiting to get some of my money back from them. I played 3,000.00 and insurance payed 7000.00 for dentures. Wow someone got a lot of money for nothing.

Front desk staff were all very attentive to getting me checked in and letting me know when I was going to be seen. The nurse was really sweet and heard me out and really emphasized to the experience I had just went through. And Dr Futch was great! He fixed the problem I came in there for (huge physical relief), explained what I should expect for the next year or so, gave some recommendations on care with a recent procedure I'd had done, he actually listened to me (that's a big plus in patient care), and made me feel really welcomed by telling me a few times if I have any more problems to not hesitate to call and come back! After just one visit I have instant relief and feel valued as a patient. (I've seen them many times since the first time and give them a solid 5 stars every time!) Solid gold! After the terrible experience elsewhere - he, his care, and staff were just all a welcomed change! I look forward to having them take care of my future dental needs.

As many other Yelp reviews mention, the front desk staff here was extremely rude and dismissive…read more From the moment I walked in, the older woman at the front desk seemed visibly irritated with me. Another staff member insisted I didn't have insurance, despite the fact that I absolutely do and make monthly payments toward it. She repeatedly argued with me about it instead of trying to help. I came in with a dental emergency because my tooth had broken and I was in significant pain. I misunderstood and thought they would be able to treat or repair it that day, but instead they only took X-rays and examined it briefly before telling me I'd need to schedule another appointment a week later. The overall experience was frustrating and uncomfortable. The waiting room was extremely hot, the paperwork process was excessive (9 pages on an iPad, including requests for photos of my driver's license and multiple "profile pictures" of my face), and the staff seemed annoyed that I wasn't completing everything quickly enough while they continued interrupting me with questions. I honestly spent more time filling out paperwork than I did speaking with the dentist. The dentist never introduced himself, looked in my mouth for less than a minute, said "yep, it's broken," and walked out. I also had to ask multiple times for copies of my X-rays and was repeatedly told no until Faith, who handled the payment plans, stepped in and kindly printed them for me without issue. She was the only genuinely pleasant and helpful person I interacted with there. On top of everything else, the office closed an hour earlier than posted, which seemed odd. Thankfully, I found another dentist who was much more professional and compassionate, and I'll be continuing treatment there instead. Overall, this was unfortunately one of the worst dental experiences I've had, especially for a $39 emergency visit.
