Hands down the BEST dentist experience of my life Dr. Henry Perez is an absolute legend. I went in for two lower wisdom tooth extractions fully prepared for pain, stress, and a long procedure... and instead I got the smoothest, fastest, most painless dental visit ever. No exaggeration -- both teeth were out in under 3 minutes total. I barely had time to process what was happening before he was already done. Zero pain, zero drama, zero anxiety. I kept waiting for the "hard part" and it just never came. Dr. Perez is calm, confident, and clearly knows exactly what he's doing. You can tell you're in expert hands the second he starts. The staff was just as great -- professional, friendly, and reassuring the entire time. I've been to a LOT of dentists over the years, and this was on a completely different level. If you're nervous about wisdom teeth or dental work in general, stop stressing and just come here. Best dentist I've ever been to, period. I honestly wish I found him sooner. If Yelp allowed more than 5 stars, he'd get them read more

Dr. Perez has been my dentist for over 20 years. Through all the dentistry challenges, I've had, his care has been beyond excellent. And, his staff, especially Trini, his Dental Hygienist, has been incredible, performing her job, with ease and grace. Dr. Perez, and his staff, also have continued to educate me on the latest ways I can continue to protect my teeth and maintain my "smile". Thank you Dr. Perez and staff. Pam Geagan read more

I'm sure Henry treats all his clients on an individual basis. I do see that he has a handful of gagging reviews, and I get that because he probably doesn't behave towards all his clients in a condescending manner like he did with me. I remember he was explaining something specific about teeth, and I said, oh I didn't know that. His response... well why would you? Did you go to medical school.? Quite unprofessional!! He doesn't deserve the office staff, they were great. read more

very gentle & listens to his patients. Front desk staff is very friendly. highly recommended read more

I have gone to Dr, Perez for over ten years. As a senior citizen, he has treated my wife and I with the upmost patience and understanding. His patients are the most important part of his practice. I have had to call on emergency basis and Dr. Perez and his office staff met the challenge with professional conduct. I would recommend Dr. Perez to the community for his service and smile. read more

Taking my 90 year old father ; tooth removal , waiting in the room with my father for dentist . Was asked by dentist , how may I help you . I found it odd , I was asked to leave and wait in the waiting room . Told it was his rule for the past 14 + years , " if you don't trust me with your father" in short ; found I set the dentist off , no one want to upset someone who will be performing service to your family . Awaiting my fathers input to provide review , at this time I can only provide staff thumbs up for great customer service , for Dentist ... clashing personality! After Dentist performed services , I shared with Dentist , my feelings , if we started the morning .. with " good morning , perhaps it may have been a better approach " he apologized " oh , I am sorry but ask your dad about how I treated him " I shared it took a lot for me to address my concern ... then he walked off yelling in the office hallway heading to attend to another patient " I have been doing this for 30 plus years" you know , this shouting getting the last word ... is uncalled for . I have a sense his whole staff is afraid of what mood the doctor will be in ... not going back to this dentist . Trust the vibe , your gut feelings when you meet a service provider ... read more

So thankful I found Dr Perez! He pays close attention to my dental concerns, is gentle on my teeth and always leaves me feeling brand new!

I love this Dentist!!! No pain Perez! He's so good!!!! Wish I would have found him sooner!!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND EVER GOING HERE! I wish I could give him zero stars. He chipped my tooth and refused to fix it because he did not want to take responsibility. He was extremely unprofessional and rude. He was throwing out medical terms to justify what happened to my tooth. I told him I didn't understand and asked "what do you mean?" He asked me "what, you don't speak English?" Then began to over simplify, talk to me like a child, and belittle me. He then went on and tried to call me a liar. I am completely disgusted by his behavior and actions. I have never in my life been treated so disrespectfully by any doctor. read more

Dr Henry Perez aka PAINLESS PEREZ always lives up to his name. Even my son doesn't fear going to the dentist because it doesn't hurt him. He is the coolest dentist ever. He's very nice, friendly, and takes the time to educate all his clients how to maintain great looking healthy teeth. His team is very warm & friendly too. They ALL have a very positive and friendly attitude. I've been coming here with all my family since 2009. I like their follow-up to remind you of appointments. Besides their regular weekly schedule they are also open on the 2nd Saturday of every month from 7am to 11am. Make sure to schedule well in advance for a Saturday appointment. My family members and I schedule a family appointment 6 months in advance so we can come together. I highly recommend Dr Perez and his team for you and all your family!! read more

See all

Let's start off by saying I used to hate seeing the dentist. I have been seeing Dr Henry Perez for over 13 years. Now, I drive about 120 miles (60 miles there and 60 miles back) just to visit his office. I am very happy with all his work throughout the years. Funny and friendly. He makes you feel comfortable and welcomed. Love the work he does. read more

awhile back i came here for a dental cleaning, at the end of the cleaning the dentist comes in to follow up. during our conversation i put my head down for a couple of seconds. the dentist immediately became offended and said i needed to give him respect and to look him in the eyes when he speaks to me. i felt extremely uncomfortable in the moment. i am sharing this so those with social anxiety or autism, (disorders that make it hard to hold eye contact), do not have to ever experience anything similar when going to a dentist. read more

I went to dr Perez for a cleaning and he ended up chipping my tooth. I literally spit the tooth out while he was cleaning my teeth. Now my gums are swollen, it hurts and I have to constantly clean the chip to avoid infection. I came back to dr Perez to get it fixed, he was the most condensing ahole ever. He basically refused to fix his mistake and instead went on a rant with medical terms about how it was not his mistake. He then asked me if I understood him as it didn't seem like I "understood english". Basically I left worse off after his "care", wasted my gas and took time off work for this POS. Please do not waste your time read more

The team is AMAZING! My little girl was afraid due to a procedure she has when she was 3 . She was afraid to go to the dentist until I switch to Perez and they made the whole experience nice. My special needs sister is also a patient and they are good with her too. read more

Like other reviews.. I really wanted to like this place but like Simon Cowell says "it's gonna be a no from me.." I came here because I read all the positive reviews on Yelp and a couple people from Facebook recommended I come here but if I could give this place no stars then I would!!!! The only reason I was so desperate to be seen by this dentist (Perez) is because I felt like I had a really bad cavity and because I STUPIDLY wanted to try out a new dentist and I was swayed by the Yelp reviews. So I was taken in after a 15-20 minute wait. The dental hygienist was super friendly and relatable, she took my X-rays. After that I was taken into another room where the dentist finally came in to review my X-rays. All he did was tell me what I already knew That I had a lot of plaque and that I supposedly had an infection so he prescribed me an antibiotic and some pain medicine and said that I had a few cavities. And that was it, I was dismissed! I was then escorted to the front desk and I was like "when are my cavities going to be filled?" I went to ask the assistant who was in the room with me while the dentist was there and she proceeded to tell me that I first needed a deep cleaning then they'd see what they could do for me. So I went back to the front desk and home girl told me that the deep cleanings are done in quadrants and that it would be a total of $500 I lied to her and said that I would have to come back with cash and a credit card.... All they did at Dr. Perez's office was waste my time. I have a newborn who is basically attached to me, time is precious when you have kids. Well to make a long story short, after seeing Dr. Perez I made a beeline to my old dentist whom I never should have strayed away from! He took me in as soon as I got there! He did the routine cleaning for me and left me brand new! I asked him if I needed a deep cleaning and he showed me my X-rays and said "you don't need one." But then he said " if you want one then I'll do it for you but you don't need it and it'll be $300" (I didn't get it done) annnnd to top it off I didn't have any cavities! I only had one that was on my only exposed wisdom tooth that he took out! I paid to have it taken out but man am I happy that I did so! Check out my dentist that I've been going to since I was a kid! His place is in Colonia- a diamond in the rough but the dentist really tries to help you out and not price gouge it's clients so he can pay for his Clippers season passes. Hard to believe que mejor un chinito dentista ayuda más a nuestra raza hispana que nuestra propria gente.. read more

Best dentist in Ventura county! I have been a long time patient and he has never disappointed. Highly recommend Dr. Perez!

I'm so disappointed in this office. My son had an emergency situation and needed to go see the dentist. The lady "supervisor Annett" was so rude and had no compassion to the severity of my sons situation. They said the Doctor was in Sedation all day However if my son came in for a cleaning that the Doctor would be able to see my son then.?. This Doctor doesn't even have an emergency line. And this is an emergency situation. read more

If you need a tooth filled then go to Dr Perez but if you have any major work you will be sorry. Every tooth he touched on my sons mouth had to be redone including a crown he did for me. He is unethical and a crook. The specialist who corrected his mistakes asked me who worked on our teeth. I am in the process of suing Dr Perez. If anyone has any complaints I can use to help my case I will gladly compensate you. Please email me emespinosa35@gmail.com.... with that said I loved his staff they are very kind. But business is business! read more

My family and I have been coming to Dr. Perez for 7 years. I have always been happy with their service. The girls at the front desk are always so welcoming and friendly. The hygienist are always so professional and informative. Dr. Perez really cares about his patients. He always takes his time with the dental exam and explains thoroughly what you need to be doing at home. We just recently moved out of the state but we will be coming back for our regular cleanings here! Thank you! read more

I will say a few things, first of all Mr. Pérez is very professional, has been taking care of my family for over a decade and has done a good job, second of all, these people putting negative reviews about his private life are being ridiculous, I could care less what Mr. Pérez does in his personal time, he could be a pimp for all I care, as long as my teeth are taken care of I'm good, third of all he's an honest man, and while others wanted me to do unnecessary work, he explained everything through X-rays and was very detailed and helpful, I am thankful for his honesty and service to my family and myself read more

I have been coming here for over a year and I am very happy with Dr. Perez. I was referred by a friend who had a positive experience. He fixed and redid all the work a previous dentist did on my teeth. I was nervous to have it redone because I had such a painful and poor experience with a previous dentist. However, Dr. Perez fixed it all with no pain and all of my dental problems I had were gone! He is very conservative in his treatments. I got a filling redone just today and I did not even feel the novacaine needle going in. He was very gentle, slow, precise and painless. Thank you for an excellent job! Highly recommended! read more

I came here once as a new patient and switched to Vista Pacific after one visit. The office was dirty and not kept up, the receptionists and dentists do not communicate to each other, and they overbook the dentists. I waited for 30 minutes before seeing the dentist, who wasn't the person I was actually scheduled with. During my wait, I witnessed two miscommunications between the receptionists and dentists, which both resulted in an unhappy patient. After getting xrays and talking about the tooth pain I had (the reason I scheduled the visit), the dentist who was actually very nice, prescribed me an antibiotic for the infection but nothing for the pain. She then told me they wanted me to schedule a visit the next week for a gum excision and deep cleaning. She ushered me to the front and then walked out of the office with the male dentist. At the front, the girl of course was not told anything of the gum excision so was only trying to schedule me for the cleaning. She also didn't have anything open for over a month. So after explaining to her what the dentist told me she scheduled the appointment. So altogether, not great. However the worst came the next few days. I was still in A LOT of pain and was only prescribed an antibiotic. I called THREE times the next day requesting to speak to the dentist to be prescribed extra strength motrin from the pain. Not only did I NEVER get a call back, the front desk was RUDE and unhelpful. I soon found a new dentist and called to have my x rays emailed to them. OF COURSE the incompetent girls at the front desk never did this, after multiple phone calls. So my new dentist just gave me new x rays with a discount. I would NEVER recommend this dentist to anyone, they treated me like crap and it was unacceptable. read more

I am beyond happy we found this place. Dr. Perez is absolutely helpful and knowledgeable. He is so professional and patient. My 11 year old nephew needed a root canal and we couldn't find a dentist. He went to two different dentist for consultations but my nephew didn't feel contable and was very scared. So we came in for a consultation, we were seen at the time scheduled with no wait. right away Dr. Perez made my nephew make feel confortable. He explained everything to us and I could tell he has a lot of experience working with kids. The office is nice and clean. The rooms are organized and they have TVs playing movies. The front staff are very helpful and sweet. My nephew got his root canal done and everything went great. I was worried he wasn't going to be able to get it done but everything turned out great. My nephew said he felt no pain at all!! Yay!! I highly recommend Dr. Perez to anyone needed dental work. If you have children who are be scared of the dentist this is the place to bring them! read more

HONESTLY, if I Could give no stars I would (is that an option?) because of the inadequate service I received here. His staff yelled at my mother(they do not abide by the HIPAA laws which is illegal not to follow) and myself when I was in distress and NEEDED to be seen because DR PEREZ took my braces off too early (he also gave me a retainer that never fit) and because my teeth shifted and then he did not even add all the brackets necessary to fix my overbite AGAIN so I had to go to work and school with half my brackets and wires sticking out of my mouth for almost two weeks and then he gave me a speech on why I should pay for the lost brackets until he realized "he thought I was a different problematic patient with the same name." In all reality he realized it was not my fault and he recognized his faults. My insurance only paid a portion and I paid 5000 dollars out of pocket and he didn't even whiten my teeth or fix any of the chipped teeth that was promised when we first chose him as an orthodontist. I went to him for 3 years and he still treated me terribly. Can you believe that? read more

I heard a lot of good things about this dentist . And was willing to try since my dentist moved away and a friend said Dr. Perez is awesome. Too bad I won't get a chance to find out . His appointments are over a month to two months out. Sucks for me but probably means his patients like him. Unfortunately he does not administer nitrous which I need since I have anxiety. I have to say getting all this info was like pulling teeth. The receptionist was horrible it could have been her first day. She had to ask someone else for answers to my questions. Bad first impression . The only reason I stayed on the line is because my friend likes this doctor. Sorry I'm just saying . Some people expect good customer service skills when they call a place of business . read more

Wonderful staff and dentist.. This dentist has never hurt me.. My husband has needed filings and root canals and says he's never felt a thing.. He gets straight to the point and tells you what needs to be done. We also commute 2 hours just to go to this dentist... Dr. PEREZ is the best read more

This place has terrible customer service for orthodontists. He only comes one day a week and his appointments take months to book. There's been times where the dentist office takes just an hour to see him for a 15 minute appointment. I paid $350 for my retainers that should've been delivered to me weeks ago. I had an appointment a few weeks ago to pick them up. It fell on a Saturday which is a day I work, so I had to take a lunch to pick them up only to arrive to a LOCKED DOOR. I called them and on the fifth call they answer to tell me my retainers weren't delivered and that id have to return another Saturday! Absolutely terrible service for orthodontists. The only good thing about this place are their hygiene dentists. read more

I know where he gets the nickname of "Painless Perez." He is the best dentist ever! His office staff is friendly - not snooty or stuffy. Dr. Perez tells you plainly what is wrong and the options to take care of it, which is much appreciated. I had a root canal done, and didn't feel a thing. No infection or complications. Same with my husband. And I normally pass out at the sight of needles and feel everything even with pain killers. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff. I was set at ease when all of my questions were answered. My kids were very relaxed I had not taken them since we had previously had a bad experience elsewhere. Their fear of going to the dentist is now gone. I love it! I wish I had went sooner. Great job and thank you. read more

He is a great dentist but his office staff is just the WORST!!!! so unprofessional!!!!

I really want to like this place. But by my experience: I figured my first appointment would be long having to fill out paperwork but I was there for an hour before I asked to reschedule. Neither of the receptionist acknowledged I had been waiting so long. I rescheduled for the next day only to sit and wait another 30 minutes. This time I just said I was leaving. They scattered to hurry and put me in a room but that was another 30 minutes since the dental assistants were all busy and now having to fit me in, they were annoyed taking my X-rays and doing the exam. I didn't get a cleaning because the dental assistant said she was too busy to do it. Then when I saw the dentist, it was only for 5 minutes. He briefly went over my teeth and basically told me all the info I needed should have been given by the dental assistant. The entire staff is nice and the environment is comfortable. The office itself is a unkept. There's crayon marks and holes and scuff on all the walls. Oh and when the dental assistant apologized for the wait I explained to her my experience the day before. She asked me if the office was busy and checked her calendar and told me it was but that it showed I didn't show for my appointment and I corrected her that they didn't show for my appointment, I thought that was rude. read more

Our son has a developmental disability that makes going in for a simple dental procedure extremely stressful. He requires sedation even for x-rays and a cleaning. We recently visited Dr. Perez at his office on A Street in Oxnard. His staff were warm, welcoming, and very supportive. Our son was scheduled for the first appointment of the day because waiting makes him very anxious. No one made our son feel bad when he paced around the office waiting to go back to the treatment room. With sedation, Dr. Perez was able to take x-rays and clean our son's teeth. He provided us with a report after the procedure was completed. Dr. Perez helped our son into a wheelchair and personally wheeled him out to our car. To the best of my knowledge, Dr. Perez is the only dentist in Ventura County who is willing to take patients with special needs that require general anesthesiology. While Dr. Perez primarily practices general dentistry, he is an advocate for those patients with special needs. We feel so blessed to have found such an amazing dentist who has a heart of gold! If you are in need of a dentist I definitely would recommend Dr. Perez! read more

Where do I begin with this office after being a patient for a long time here you would think they would be more professional and return phone calls and answer questions, I was getting orthodontic treatment here for more than 6 years and I was happy at first but then the service just went down hill they wouldn't follow up on appointments and the waiting time to see the Orthdontist was horrible his scheduling was only at the convince of himself and not of the patient I decided to see other Orthdontist only to find out the treatment wasn't getting done properly I requested a refund for the amount of work that still needed to be done cause come to find out I needed to go through a re-treatment from what this guy did not do right! I called serval times and months trying to get a portion of my money back so I can pay the new Orthdontist, FOR 6 YEARS I PUT AN EMPHASIS ON HOW GREAT OF AN ORTHODONTIST HE WAS COME TO FIND OUT HE ONLY ROB ME AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT FINISHING THE WORK!!!!! THEY COULDN'T EVEN TELL ME SORRY WE CAN'T RETURN YOUR MONEY TALK ABOUT PROFESSIONALISM SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE AND GO TO A REAL ORTHODONTIST'S OFFICE WHO ONLY FOCUSES ON THAT PRACTICE DO NOT COME HERE I WISH I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE NEGATIVE FIVE STARS!!!! read more

Dr Perez is painless...best dentist around!! like the previous reviewer said...what you see is what you get...he doesn't fluff up what is wrong...just tells it like it is....and always willing to give you pros and cons of certain situations. Has a great working staff and always keeps you entertained with the movies in the office! Truly a dedicated doc! wouldn't go anywhere else!! read more
