In order to do this, I needed to do a full initial intake appointment in which they told me I have gingivitis and highly recommended I do their intensive cleaning procedure and pressured me to start that same day. I told them that I am low income and on medi-cal and if they take insurance or if I should find someone else. They basically told me that dental insurance is a scam and I should stick with them. They charge WAY more than even the average dentist. I later found out that Dientes in Santa Cruz takes medi-cal and Cabrillo Hygiene Clinic also offers very cheap cleaning. When I went to Cabrillo for cleaning a couple years later, the Dr/Instructor there said the X-rays I got here were done incorrectly and were not acceptable. Luckily they were able to re do them for cheap. Although it is on me to find the right dental care for my insurance, I came for a different issue and didn't appreciate being pressured to choose them for the cleaning and lied to. I had to use all my savings to cover the costs. Also, although I initially came for the tongue tie release, they were only able to do half. When i inquired about coming back for the second half release as originally planned, the doctor said I couldn't do it because I needed to be able to fully lift my tongue on my own, even though the whole issue of why I need the release is that I can't. The doctor at cabrillo said this was rediculous, and that there are definitely doctors who could do the full release as is. Overall, while the staff may seem nice at first, it seems clear they are trying to make as much money as possible without caring about the clients needs, and the more money you spend here does not mean better care.

I cannot recommend Dr. Lee at Mount Hermon Medical Dentist Office highly enough…read more From my very first conversation with Dr. Lee over the phone, I knew this experience was going to be different. Then, when I arrived at the office and met him in person, that feeling was completely confirmed. Dr. Lee is not only exceptionally knowledgeable and incredibly skilled, but he is also genuinely kind, thoughtful, and passionate about what he does. We ended up having an amazing conversation and discovered so many shared perspectives about food and our passions. It felt like one of those rare moments where everything simply aligned. I truly feel like I found the right dentist at exactly the right time. The entire team deserves recognition as well. Everyone in the office creates such a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. They have a natural way of making conversation that immediately puts you at ease without ever feeling forced. At the same time, they work efficiently and seamlessly together, making the entire visit smooth from beginning to end. The front office staff is incredibly knowledgeable, organized, and on top of everything, making scheduling, questions, and paperwork effortless. During my visit, I had X-rays, a filling, digital scans for a custom mouth guard, and everything was completed the very same day. I had been dealing with a food trap that had been bothering me for a long time, and I wasn't sure I could afford to have it fixed. Thanks to the office's wonderful mouth guard promotion, I was able to get both the mouth guard and the filling taken care of, which was an incredible relief. Dr. Lee is a true craftsman. He approaches dentistry like an artist, paying attention to every detail while making you feel completely comfortable and cared for throughout the process. I honestly never thought I would feel this excited about going to the dentist, but here I am already looking forward to my next appointment. I can say with complete confidence that I have found my dentist for life. I won't be going anywhere else. Thank you, Dr. Lee, and to your entire team, for your outstanding care, professionalism, warmth, and for making what is usually an intimidating experience feel genuinely uplifting. You have earned a patient for life.

I used to love and swear by this dentist until I learned the truth. When I had to change insurance…read moreand get a new dentist, they were flabbergasted by how shoddy their work is. The nightguard that Dr. Kaur gave me had been so improper that it was damaging my teeth and causing the front teeth to chip and crack. I was actually asked if I had gotten this nightguard from a different country, that's how slapdash it was. When I came in to ask for a refund to at least get some kind of moral mea culpa from them (this nightguard costs $735ish before insurance, according to the receptionist, but replacing a tooth is easily ten times that much, so it would be a drop in the ocean compared to the damage done to my mouth) I kept getting the runaround about things being "subjective". Then when I wasn't dissuaded I got an appointment with the doctor to talk it over, which I assumed would just be them trying to convince me my new dentist is a con artist, doesn't know anything, etc. And lo and behold, no surprise that's exactly what the appointment was about. No refunds, and that I should consider myself lucky my mouth guard even lasted this long. Now instead of things being "subjective" it was preposterous and no dentist in their right mind would say such a thing. Yeah, I'm sure my board-certified TMJ specialist was just making it up, while the dentist who made the device in question has no room for doubt. I mean I'm pretty sure they even made sure to CYOA by asking to take a look at my mouthguard so they could do an official "reply from the owner" here with something like "Actually when you came in we proved your teeth were already broken and we didn't do anything wrong-" and try to make other people reading this think I'm not being accurate. They tried to say my current dentist must be a scammer for charging around $1100 for an occlusal guard and that must be why. But I called around town and most dentists are in the 1000 dollar ballpark for guards. The only ones who quoted me lower than 900 were quick and clear to point out "that's just a base price, we increase it if it's more complex, and it'll probably involve exams too". Oh and if that wasn't enough, Dr. Kaur insisted the receptionist had just been mistaken and that actually it was only $300, and that I should be counting myself lucky to have gotten such a good deal - as if I care about saving money when it means breaking my teeth. While this is mostly what I'm pissed off about today, in the last few years I got the same fillings done on my teeth again and again from these people, while the filling I got ages ago from my paleolithic-era dentist in Mountain View is still holding strong. So I'll ask again who the real scammer is. And just as a funny aside, while I was waiting in the office, there was a guy at the front desk who showed up for his appointment, only to find out it had been canceled, despite having confirmed it. It turns out that the front desk just relies entirely on the automated system with no verification, had somehow sent another confirmation to the wrong number, and canceled his appointment. Obviously this doesn't impact my own experience, but it does make one question why there are so many screwups in one office. In one day. At the same hour.

I'm fairly certain that they forgot about us as thirty minutes after out appt time i went and asked for an update On when we'd be taken back. The long wait was annoying but not a deal breaker. Dr Hedrick asked me to sit in the seat in front of his computer to show me some scans. Ok, most places have a patient review monitor to avoid any HIPAA issues. But then he asked why I came there and I explained that my spouse sees him. He then typed in her name and brought up her entire chart in front of me. Talked about how she was over due,ran through his findings, and treatment. He proceeded to go through her entire chart with me! Did he get any HIPAA training? I was shocked. I had hoped that he would have realized his mistake and apologize but this didn't happen so we rushed out and went to a competitor.

And we have always had to commute 40 minutes or more when we were living on the mountain. The office does get bent out of shape if you are late. We chose NCO in anticipation of their Scott's Valley office opening. 20 mins from home! Great ...Well That took longer than expected. So yeah, I felt misleaded. Then to find out they don't operate the SV location M-F Because they aren't not open on Friday at either location. We have now moved a little farther away and To make an appointment we are looking at weeks for SV openings that work around school and work schedule. Or now w traffic. Deal w 2 hr round trip commute to Capitola. It's great to see the practice growing, but it's apparent they BIT off more than they can CHEW if they can't operate both facilities. My other complaint is I've never met the Orthodontist working on my child. (My Experiance working w interventional doctors for over a decade. They don't come out to talk because they are on the next patient $$$) They never came out to meet/great me. Not Once! After reading some of his reviews and he seems brash- I hope not- Just do your job correctly! So far my kiddo's smile is looking better. So I have extremely mixed feeling about this business.
