Invisalign with Ashley - Highly recommend!…read more Working with Ashley at Dr. Oaxaca's office was a great experience and I couldn't be happier with the results :). The process at first felt overwhelming, but with Ashley's guidance, it seemed effortless. She made sure everything was perfect and I finished the program in less than a year! Highly recommend if you are considering if it's the right choice for you :)

Exceptional Care and Expertise from Ashley, RDA…read more I recently completed my Invisalign treatment, and I couldn't be happier with the care and attention I received from Ashley, my Registered Dental Assistant. From the very beginning, Ashley demonstrated exceptional care and attention to detail, ensuring that every step of my treatment was meticulously planned and executed. One of the standout qualities of Ashley is her punctuality and understanding nature. My schedule can be quite unpredictable, but Ashley was always accommodating and flexible, making sure that my appointments fit seamlessly into my busy life. Ashley is incredibly knowledgeable about Invisalign and dental care in general. She provided clear explanations and answered all my questions with patience and expertise. Thanks to her guidance and support, what was initially planned as a two-year treatment was completed in under a year! Her skill and dedication made a significant difference in my treatment journey. 100% chat GPT helped with this review but she's an awesome RDA that's great to work with, as well as the the dental practice. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone seeking dental care, especially those considering Invisalign.

I've been going to this office for about 10 years now. My Mom and Husband also go to this dental…read moreoffice. I NEVER EVER had any negative experience here. From the front desk (her name is Samantha if I remember correctly), office manager Toddie, Stacy (Dr Lowman's dental assistant , yes her name is Stacy too) and Dr Lowman herself. Every visit was always very pleasant and feels like visiting a long time friend. That's how great she made each patients feel. She'll make you feel welcomed and give you the best service possible. She ALWAYS gave me the best recommendation for the good of my teeth and not because she wants you to spends the money for all of the extra service in her office. I asked for my teeth to get whitened, but she refused. Because she knew that I would be too sensitive after the procedures. I also asked recommendations for veneer, and again she refused because my teeth are in good condition and she doesn't want to jeopardize the integrity of my teeth. I've had bad experiences with other dental office, where fillings only lasted 1 year. That never happened with all of the fillings that was done in this office. Every single work that Dr Lowman did was great, and I've gotten couple crowns that lasted me quite a bit (I chose the porcelain type, that has shorter life span yet they've lasted). She had also gave me the best referral, whether it's for my kids pediatric dentist or for my tooth that needs internal bleaching (due to the root canal that I did in a different office prior to Dr Lowman). I've been withholding myself to write a review because I tried to keep her to myself and not wanting to share her with the world. But when I went here and see some negative reviews towards her, I feel the need to set the records straight. If you're lucky enough to get appointments with Dr Lowman, I can assure you that you won't get disappointed.

Dr. Lowman gave me every option available, made sure all of my childhood dental nightmares were resolved and gave me the smile I've been wanting for decades! They are all incredible people. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.

Helpful office staff too. The one thing I didn't like was how loud they constantly have music playing throughout the whole office. But since then, the positives have nearly disappeared: nearly every person in the office, from the front office staff to the people who do my dental work, have turned over, and I get a mixed bag of quality and bedside manner. And I have to do it with insipid pop music blaring loudly at me, to where headphones are required as a defensive measure in a situation that's already going to be uncomfortable. Additionally, they've started to have AI answering their phones, don't return messages, have ramped up the corporate feel, and just generally don't seem to care about either the patient experience or continuity of care any more. So I'm looking for a new dentist now.

This has been my office of choice, but now I have to say... that I took my business elsewhere…read more First, I had a simple cleaning appointment. I usually stick with the same Hygienist for this, as I am a creature of habit. Second, my actual Dentist always takes a look after my cleaning is done so that he can let me know if there is anything that popped up while I am there that might need attention. This is good. Now... my last two cleaning sessions literally broke my heart. The ladies at the desk have ALWAYS been very kind to me, but on these last two occasions, it was as if... I don't know... something PERSONAL was happening with me. First, she all but snapped at me when I walked up to the desk, and then DEMANDED that I "pay first"... like they used to do to Denny's patrons back in the day (which REALLY made me uncomfortable) so, according to her, "...we can all get OUT of there and go home!". Then, my usual Hygienist was not available, and I wish they had told me this beforehand, and some other... person... did the cleaning, to the point that I can honestly say that she was DEFINITELY UNHAPPY with me!! I didn't know that a simple cleaning can HURT so badly!!! At any rate, I don't know what it was that I did wrong, or who I made angry enough to deserve this treatment, but I can take a hint. No more PAIN, please. I am sorry for whatever it was that I did wrong. I have never been treated like this, not even in the U.S. ARMY. :-(

I followed the prompt it gave me when I called, and it went exactly how it said it would. They got me in the same week as a new patient, handled my cleaning, and fixed my permanent retainer all in one visit. I'm very particular about quality of service and my teeth in general, and it showed right away that the entire staff took the time to review my information and make the experience feel personal, not rushed or pressed for upsells. It was an incredibly warm experience. Customer service was excellent. The team was efficient, took care of everything I needed, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. Extra star for having chapstick on hand. My lips usually dry out fast during appointments, so that small detail was the icing on the cake.

I recently visited Dodds for a dental cleaning, and unfortunately, my experience was far from…read moresatisfactory. My employer offers to reimburse a percentage of certain dental services, so I pay entirely out of pocket. When I scheduled my appointment I informed them of this and let them know I would need to know the prices of services before they are performed since I do not have traditional insurance. As the appointment goes on there are several scans that are recommended, which prompts me to ask the price of each additional service before they do them. To make a long story short, I explained to Dr. Dodds that I may one day get my own delta dental PPO plan ($64/mo- see photo attached) but for now I plan to pay out of pocket and have my employer reimburse me. Dr. Dodds said there was no way I could get a delta PPO direct plan for that amount. I kept trying to explain this to him, but he continued to condescendingly tell me it's impossible and must be through covered CA or I'm looking at an HMO plan (which they don't accept). As the appointment went on it was clear me to that the staff and doctors were very irritated that I asked for the prices of services. All in all, Dodds Dental assumed that I was low income and could not afford their services. Fortunately, I have a well paying job and make well over 6 figures. Regardless, it's quite unnerving to me that if you are assumed to be low income that Dodds Dental would treat you in a poor manner and make you feel unworthy of their office. I cannot support a dental office who treats people differently based on their income status. I suggest that anyone who values treating all people equal regardless of race, income status, physical appearance, etc do the same. I hope this is a wake up call and they can do better for those who come into their office in the future.
