It's been quite a few years since Dr. Mitchell completed my treatment and 'architecting' my smile,…read morebut I was compelled to write this review because not a month goes by when someone compliments me on my smile. Seriously. Total strangers. In the grocery store, at the mall, at restaurants, in meetings (I volunteer in the community and attend meetings), on planes, even in other countries (travelled a lot in recent years too). It always widens my smile and lifts my spirits when I get complimented on my smile - it was an investment in my health and myself. Thank you Dr. Mitchell for your awesome work, attention to detail and the absolutely amazing staff who make it all possible! Me and my whole family are the beneficiaries of Dr. Mitchell's handiwork. Thank you!! Keep on smiling! (Or see Dr. Mitchell till you love to!)

So for ONE good set of retainers it cost me $675 to get what was promised for $450.

Dear Dr. Eisinger and Staff,…read more You may not remember me at this point but I'm still going to write - finally - to thank you for the services and time rendered my way. I'm sure that after all these years being "you" in this particular field, I'm not worried that anything is going to have changed in the last months since I "graduated" into a non-metallic smile. No, I'm certain of it as I've had the chance to witness quite a bit of care under your meticulous and rigid old school practice of orthodontics. You are very *particular* and it was very evident each visit. Yes, I noticed and I thank you for that. For a little context, nothing ever enters my mouth except good food and drink. NOTHING. My primary dentist had to almost beg me for years to do two things: (a) remove wisdom teeth and (b) get braces. Wisdom teeth finally happened almost 7 years of (suggested) *begging* and braces...well, you can thank COVID for that. It became one of the bucket list items due to the mask policy. I could *HIDE* my mouth was implemented. *HIDE* that shiny metallic smile was suddenly an option. HIDE the process was now a possible reality. So it should have been no surprise that I eventually visited your office. And you know what won me that day? The DAMON system that you actually use at your practice. Yes, I'm familiar with those wires from my MBA program. YEARS back, a classmate in the MBA program actually worked for the company in Glendora that produced these particular wires. I never forgot that speech and I knew I wouldn't go for it unless it was *these* particular wires. You had them. You were *geeked* out that I understood the molecular particulars of how they worked and why I needed them. That made the choice easy for me and I went for it. Financing was simple. Insurance was checked and a financing program was immediately handled in-house. For those who are new to this. Think car-loan made far more accessible without a ridiculous APR. In fact, how about *no* APR? Now here's the true reason they are an easy 5-star in my book besides the system that they use. It's Dr. Eisinger and his staff that made the process better for me. He won't remember this by this time with all the clients that come under him BUT I will always remember the grace and dedication that he showed me during the 1.5 year period. THANKSGIVING. Wire moved too much that it was poking into my cheeks and causing a slow bleed. I didn't want to call his cellphone as it is...thanksgiving. I called first thing Monday morning at the office (and they were closed and only open for paperwork). Angel took the call and told me they would get back to me. I waited patiently...received a call back and guess who came to fix that issue? You bet...Dr. Eisinger took care of it by coming in to make sure it stop hurting. How many doctors do you know that are like that? Six months later...same BS happened with the wires. It's simple. It's the Damon system, read up on it...the wire moves as your teeth moves and sometimes those tiny millimeters make a huge difference on how your mouth (or inner cheeks) feel. Guess who once again showed up to deal with it when they were closed (just my luck) on a Monday paperwork day? The man himself. THANK YOU. All in all, the fact is I'm really happy with how my teeth looked in comparison to where it started. It was a really fast process for an epic change. Painful as expected due to the speed that is involved but it was worth it. Special shout out to Michelle (you absolutely rock...seriously, THANK you as well... you're a god-send) and Angel (thank you for being so on-top of everything else). And of course, thank you Dr. Eisinger and staff that were involved in this whole process. Here is finally my proper review. Sorry it's late but it's truly MUCH deserved. Best wishes in 2023 and may you all remain healthy and well. (I hope you all get this thank you letter - or I'm going to print, spam, and mail it all your way.)

Our whole family recently made the switch over to Salinas Dental Health and have been SO pleased…read morewith our experience. There is little to no wait time upon arriving at our scheduled appointments. Appointments are quick and easy. Every single staff member we engaged with is warm and knowledgeable. A huge win for us is that our kids (11, 8 - we hope to get our 4 year old in soon) all feel really comfortable and at ease when being seen here. We've seen all the dentists and they're all equally great! Their team is always up front and transparent with their findings and if there's any intervention needed, we never feel forced into anything and the front desk is always happy to give pricing/quotes while explaining exactly what's getting billed for. Our 11 year old recently had to get 4 extractions (due to having a small mouth and ortho requested to get them extracted) and Dr. Coe was the GOAT. It was our son's first experience at the dentist for extractions and general anesthesia, and he said he didn't feel anything at all! Dr. Coe (and the whole staff honestly) walked us through everything, made our son feel safe, secure, and seen. What more can you ask for? We anticipate being part of the practice for many many years!

Everyone treated us wonderfully since the first day. They kept us informed about everything at all…read moretimes. All staff was very kind and always worked with our schedule for appointments. My son got his phase 1 braces because he had no room for his teeth to come in. It was getting crowded for his teeth but now he has a beautiful smile with straight teeth. My son never complained of pain other than a slight discomfort the days he had new adjustments. By the next day he was in no discomfort. My daughter got braces elsewhere before we found Dr. Eisinger, she complained about pain constantly and we had a bad experience at that office. We are glad we all had a great experience at John J Eisinger, D.D.S, INC.

When it came time to remove my daughter's braces and she was sitting in the chair and the thec was waiting the doctor was on a personal call (talking about golf.

When he finally came he started removing the braces aggressively and IN a RUSH bc someone came in with cookies for the him and he wanted to get a picture for his social media. There was blood splattered on my daughter's bid. And I asked to speak with the office manager which turned out to be his wife.

Exceptional!!! I had…read moregreat experiences with cleanings but had a but of anxiety about having some procedures done, you know, the normal anxiety one has about going to the dentist, right? Well, I didn't want to leave. I was actually SO relaxed. I felt at ease and comforted. They took their time making sure i was numb, that I wouldn't feel pain - and I didn't. Not a bit. And, in addition to lovely aromatics that help reduce stress, you get to where headphones and watch Netflix!!! The procedure was over before I knew it. I was ready to keep going? Do I have to leave now? Don't you want to do two more cavities? Seriously, they have revolutionized the dental office experience. Love these guys!

This office has done a lot to alleviate my longstanding dental phobia. First of all, the lobby is…read moresuper soothing and spa-like, with a coastal vibe, and they have a bunch of choices of tea or Nespresso. When you get to the chair, they'll have sunglasses for you so the lights aren't in your face, and if you are having a long procedure, you can watch a video of your choosing. But more importantly, the dentists (I've seen Dr. Simonsen and Dr. Melhem both) are kind, gentle, and thorough. I had two crowns, my first ever, a few years ago, and I was VERY nervous, since I have had previous fillings and extractions with inadequate anesthesia. The office has a long and detailed questionnaire where you can identify your triggers and they offer you ways to ameliorate them. I started feeling the work partway through and Dr. Simonsen stopped to re-numb me, instead of carrying on like dentists I've had in the past. They also offered breaks, and got me a ball from the prize chest to squeeze so I wouldn't maul my palms. The hygienists, Alison and Lisa, are also both great. Friendly, gentle, and detail oriented. They'll get you sparkling clean without making your mouth sore. I actually don't dread going for a cleaning!

Disappointed by Front Office Experience…read more The orthodontist and back staff at MBO Orthodontics in Salinas are truly great -- kind, professional, and attentive. Unfortunately, the front office experience, specifically with Alma (the receptionist), has been consistently unpleasant. On multiple occasions, she has been dismissive and rude when I've asked legitimate questions about costs and the "retainers for life" program. After paying over $2,000 for my son's treatment, I was told I needed to pay an additional $800, so naturally, I wanted clarification. Instead of a helpful explanation, I received an attitude as if I was bothering her or asking something unreasonable. Her tone, body language, and lack of patience made me feel disrespected and uncomfortable -- This is also not the first time. In the past she had been calling me "hun" or "honey" in a condescending way, which was inappropriate given her attitude when I simply had questions. Because of this, I ultimately chose not to move forward with any upgrade services this time. It's unfortunate because the clinical team is excellent, but experiences like this make a lasting impression. People remember how they're treated, especially at the start and end of care, and this interaction really overshadowed an otherwise great experience. I also get it, it's hard working in customer service but it's not right to treat anyone this way or even just a few people (like me and others once in a while). I really hope MBO Salinas calls me to validate my concerns and maybe answer questions I was left unanswered because I still don't understand the service I am still interested in and need.
