I've been coming to this office for my dental care since 2022, and I've consistently had a great…read moreexperience. The entire team is professional, welcoming, and friendly--from the dental hygienists to the front office staff and dentists. Dr. Albik and Dr. Sato are especially kind, patient, and thorough in their care. The office/clinic is always neat and clean, which makes each visit comfortable. They are closed every other Monday, and appointments tend to book up quickly, so scheduling in advance is recommended. I highly recommend this dental office.

I have been going to Laguna Springs Dental for about four years now. My hygienist, Heidi, has…read morealways been sweet and great. However, I will no longer be going to this dentist, and this decision is solely due to Dr. Sato. I feel like every time I get examined after a cleaning, there is always something he recommends that I need work on or will eventually need, although I have no concerns or pain with any of my teeth. When he suggests all these unnecessary treatments, it gives me anxiety and makes me question whether I should get the work done or not. I always receive a printout of the recommended services and how much they will cost. I understand that it is ultimately up to me whether I want to proceed with any treatment, but the constant reminders of the RECOMMENDED work makes me feel pressured, and I don't like that feeling. It also makes me question whether it's all about making money. Going to the dentist already gives me a lot of anxiety, and I'm sure that's the case for many people. At the end of the day, I don't want a doctor who makes me feel like there is always something wrong with my teeth. Throughout my years, I have seen a lot of doctors and none has ever made me feel pressure like Dr. Sato. Maybe it's his personality or how he approaches his patients. My goal in finding a good dentist has always been about finding a great dental hygienist, but this time around I feel like I need to move on and find another doctor who makes me feel more comfortable and at ease. Lately, whenever I get some sort of work done--like a crown, a root canal, or even a simple cleaning--my nerve seems to get triggered and causes pain elsewhere. Rule of thumb: if there is nothing wrong with your tooth and no pain, leave it alone.

I wanted to share a follow-up review for Oak Tree Dentistry after bringing my son in for his…read morescheduled cleaning and this visit meant even more to us. My son is on the autism spectrum, and experiences like dental visits can take a little extra time and care. From the moment his name was called by our hygienist, Abby, everything just felt right. She greeted him with such a warm and welcoming demeanor, patiently giving him the space he needed to feel comfortable walking into the room at his own pace. What truly stood out was how thoughtful the environment was, cartoons were already playing on both the wall and the ceiling-mounted TV above his chair, which immediately helped put him at ease. And Abby's work? Absolutely incredible. Her hands were so gentle and precise that my son was completely calm and, honestly, seemed to enjoy the entire experience. It's rare and incredibly heartwarming to witness this level of genuine compassion. The entire staff showed such kindness and understanding...it didn't feel clinical, it felt human. My son may not always be able to express it in words, but the care you showed means the world to him. and to us as his parents. Thank YOU for creating such a safe and positive space. It truly doesn't go unnoticed.

My son had an unexpected dental emergency after diving into a swimming pool without realizing it…read morewas only four feet deep. Thankfully, he wasn't seriously injured, but both of his front teeth broke almost in half on a diagonal. At 25 years old, it was still a very traumatic experience, and he asked me to help him navigate the situation. We called Laguna West Dental Care, and they were able to get us in first thing the very next morning. From the moment we walked through the door, everyone was welcoming, kind, and reassuring. The front office staff greeted us with smiles and even helped lighten the mood by joking with my son about his pool adventure. We were taken back right on time for X-rays and then met with Dr. Sethi, who thoroughly explained the treatment options. He gave us two choices: composite bonding to rebuild the teeth or crowns. We decided to try the more conservative approach first in an effort to preserve as much of my son's natural teeth as possible. Dr. Sethi carefully explained the pros and cons, including the possibility that the composite could chip in the future due to the amount of tooth structure that needed to be rebuilt. Although they weren't able to complete the procedure during the morning appointment, they went out of their way to fit us back into the schedule that same afternoon. I truly appreciated their flexibility and willingness to help during a stressful situation. The results were amazing. Dr. Sethi did a beautiful job matching the color of my son's teeth and rebuilding them so naturally that it's difficult to tell they were ever damaged. He took the time to explain everything throughout the process and had an excellent bedside manner that immediately put us at ease. A special thank you to Megan at the front desk for helping coordinate everything with our insurance and getting us in so quickly. Phuong, the dental assistant, was caring, funny, and compassionate throughout the entire experience. Every person we encountered--from the front office staff to the dental assistant to Dr. Sethi--was professional, friendly, and genuinely cared about my son's wellbeing. Dental emergencies are never fun, but Laguna West Dental Care turned a stressful situation into a positive experience. We are incredibly grateful for the care we received and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dental office that combines excellent clinical care with genuine compassion.

Disappointed and misled by false advertising…read more This dentist advertises that they specialize in treating patients with special needs, which is why we chose to bring our 13-year-old here. We've had difficult experiences in the past with pediatric dentists who lacked the skill or understanding to work with our child's unique needs, so we were hopeful. From the moment we walked in, however, we were subtly (and then not-so-subtly) encouraged to seek treatment elsewhere. I had disclosed ahead of time that my child is on the autism spectrum and has some sensitivity to sound. Despite that, it felt like they were trying to refer us out before even giving our child a fair chance. Eventually, the dentist agreed to do a cleaning, but only under nitrous, which we paid $175 for. My child did amazing. My child did flinch at the sound of the scraping--not out of pain, but simply in response to the sound. That's a very normal human reaction; even I do that at the dentist. But despite how well my child did, the dentist said she "couldn't handle that level of anxiety" and told us our only options were to pay out of pocket for dentists who don't take insurance or drive to San Francisco. It was clear to me that if I hadn't disclosed my child was on the spectrum, this wouldn't have been seen as a problem at all. If the office didn't claim to specialize in patients with special needs, I wouldn't be leaving this review. I respect when professionals are honest about what they can or can't handle. But advertising yourself as a provider for people with disabilities--then turning away a person who shows the slightest degree of discomfort--feels like false advertising. And it's incredibly disheartening. If you're looking for a truly patient, skilled, and neurodiversity-aware provider, I suggest looking elsewhere.

I have perfectly straight teeth as I'm near the end of my Invisalign treatment with an orthodontist not affiliated with this practice. But after a routine cleaning and x rays at Design Dental, I was told I had cavities in practically every tooth and was also advised to STOP my Invisalign treatment!!! What??? Yes. Seriously. Apparently Dr Simone Patrick wanted to perform expensive cosmetic work instead! I actually left the office feeling depressed, and very insecure about my smile. 100% deflated-- because usually I'm complimented. I also immediately called my orthodontist in Elk Grove who was flabbergasted. He returned my call during off hours as I was so distressed. After consulting with a reputable dentist who cares about people -- guess what? I had no cavities!!! I actually have a very nice, straight, healthy white smile. This practice is totally after money scamming patients one by one. Save your money and dignity by avoiding Design Dental at all costs. Find another dentist that accepts your insurance. One that's humble and kind. Quite frankly I'm at a loss for words. I can't imagine how much unnecessary dental work has been performed at this office. Just terrible.

The front desk is always so kind and friendly and make it easy to schedule and to make appointment. I first called for an urgent appointment- Caitlin was my first introduction with this phone call- she was considerate and made me feel heard and due to a cancellation they were able to take me the following day! I had my teeth cleaned and Toby and Doctor Madhi understood my concerns and were very careful not to hurt my sensitive areas of my teeth while cleaning. Turns out I need my filling re-done, I came in with my "anxiety kit" as in general dental work is difficult for me and I have an esophagus issue which also makes this physically difficult. Doctor Madhi, Mandy, and Toby were more than understanding and accommodating. Not to mention it was quick!! I don't think I'll need my whole "kit" next time! But either way they made me feel comfortable and not judged. I will never go to another dentist again- this place is the holy grail!!!

Kalia took great care of me. She was gentle, caring, and answered all of my questions along the way, especially when I wasn't sure about something. She took her time cleaning and polishing my teeth thoroughly, inside and out, and I really appreciate the attention to detail. I tend to get nervous due to past experiences, but she made me feel at ease. The dentist came in to check my teeth and gave a quick explanation of the work I may need. I didn't catch his name since the interaction was brief, and it felt a bit rushed. I also felt the scraping on my front teeth to remove some tartar was quite rough, with noticeable pulling and tugging- it honestly made me worry my teeth might break. I didn't see Dr. Mahdi as he was on vacation. The front staff was friendly and welcoming. I'll be returning to see Dr. Mahdi to complete the rest of my dental work.

Great visit from my first to most recent…read more It had been some years since I'd gone to see the Dentist (yes I know), and I was looking for a more local dentist as my previous was in East Sac and I'm close to Elk Grove. I'd been researching dentists for some time and kept coming back to Elk Grove Healthy Smiles (EHS), due to all of theor positive reviews and the staff from posted photos seems very friendly. I finally decided to visit EHS, and it turns out my girlfriend we t here when she was younger and had positive experiences as well. My initial consultation was thorough, and everything noted was gone over with me by both my Dental Hygienist and Dr. Nanra. And any further treatment was discussed and I given the option and opportunity to do it the same day, which I opted for dueing my 1st visit. Further treatment I went to another professional, and EHS helped me through the process and were even able to get me in sooner than expected. And then get me back in in-house, to finish a treatment before I went on vacation. Standard visits have been quick and easy as well, and staff have always ensured I was comfortable throughout my visits. From the reception team up front, to the dental professionals in the back. The staff are always nice and friendly with a positive attitude. And the front desk staff, make everything from billing to appointment booking as easy as possible. Overall: Great Dr. and great staff. Would highly recommend.
