    Reviews T.

    I've had the MOST TRAUMATIC and DAMAGING dental experience with Dr. Lisa Vallesteros. My teeth were FULLY ready for crowns, confirmed by 3 dentists before visit. The before 3D images from a previous dentist confirm the same. I believe my teeth were SEVERELY DAMAGED by Dr. Lisa WITHOUT ANY DISCUSSION or MY CONSENT to even alter them - let alone remove substantial chunks and altering the height. I believe every time Dr. Lisa said she needs to numb me to work on "gums" or "clean" she was ALSO REMOVING teeth structure. This review is what l believe to be true based on my experiences and opinion. The after images are ALARMING showing l've experienced SIGNIFICANT and PERMANENT DAMAGE also CONFIRMED by my current dentist. After a demand letter Dr. Lisa sent the AFTER 3D images. The "full medical records" received are MISSING the following even though requested: 1. Measurements of teeth removal 2. Copies of TWO BEFORE IMPRESSIONS she and Edna took for temporary crowns Dr. Lisa made which show my teeth BEFORE visit UPDATE: Look at screenshots. After speaking up publicly about my experience, including this review, l received an "oh no" reaction from someone named Diondre. The business lists "Lisa and Diondre J V." as owners. Although not making definitive claims, in my opinion, I find it HIGHLY unlikely that this was coincidental. Additionally, as a female patient, I believe it's important to mention that Dr. Lisa inquired about my marital status during an appointment and I informed her that I was single. Although not making definitive claims, l'm highlighting this from my perspective. I will let readers form their own conclusions. Due to the severity of my dental experience and the concerns this additional experience raised, I have filed a second complaint with the Dental Board addressing a separate set of concerns. Original Review Continued: My teeth now have LARGE HOLES with at least 1/4 of each tooth completely shaved DEEP DOWN INTO THE BASE with substantialCHUNKS removed and height dramatically altered. I truly believe that a dentist causing harm like this is EXTREMELY concerning. I have filed a complaint with the Dental Board. It makes me wonder how often patients do not realize similar damage has occurred, since teeth are HIDDEN UNDER CROWNS. I only found out this week, because I asked questions about why the temporary crowns no longer showed space between my teeth days after leaving her office and why the threader no longer went through easily. I also reported sharp pain and have developed other symptoms. I provided x-rays before visit and FULL dental history at first appointment. I explained that my teeth were FULLY READY for crowns. I believed we had a mutual AGREEMENT. She only mentioned needing to "push back gums" due to "overgrowth" and to "clean". She NEVER mentioned that she would shave, drill or alter my teeth. I would NOT have agreed. I experienced temporaries SHE MADE started to sink into my gums after the last visit. I believe she first attempted to GASLIGHT me with misleading explanations and when I called her on it she said she didn't know. I believe so much teeth structure was removed that temporaries no longer have the same support. From the first appointment to the last phone conversation, I experienced her behavior as GROOMING me not to ask questions. She even snapped when I first found out she had shaved my teeth as l asked a necessary question as l became very concerned. The after images show that my teeth were made also UNEVEN in height, particularly one tooth that she saio the crown would only be adjusted. I believe she drilled my teeth even further TO FIT THE FAULTY CROWNS. I underwent TWO gum margin procedures. I was surprised to see objects underneath my gums without prior discussion as "gum margins" was not discussed until the middle of the first procedure. Also, no other dentist noted "gum growth". One tooth had a black spot that was not covered by the crown she ordered and she said she needed to work on the "gum margins" AGAIN. During first appointment, I mentioned for crowns to not be too short and match the other side. She even said how that's obvious. Yet instead of acknowledging the crowns she ordered were too short and did not match the other side - I believe she IMMEDIATELY started GASLIGHTING me, saying it was about "functionality" and "the bite". I had to remind her of our original discussion for her to acknowledge it. The crowns would not even fit next to each other. One was also BULKY and CROOKED, yet she initially said, "I don't see it" before eventually agreeing to fix it. After l initially wrote a 1 star review and deleted it - she asked what my blogs are about and IMMEDIATELY shoved something in my mouth which I experienced as preventing me from answering. I believe this was HIGHLY passive aggressive - especially DURING dental work. I experienced Dr. Lisa Vallesteros' dental work as UNSAFE, CARELESS, DAMAGING, RECKLESS and NEGLIGENT.

    Look how you can see the pristine dental work thru the veil!!

I was told I couldn't get a standard cleaning and was instead pushed toward additional services I didn't feel I needed. The only option offered was a "deep cleaning," starting at $270, which felt unnecessary in my situation. It was frustrating not to be given a basic, covered option. Overall, the experience felt more focused on upselling than patient care. I wouldn't recommend if you're simply looking for a straightforward, routine visit.

Long story short, everything was great and this will definitely be my primary dentist going forward. The staff was very professional, communicative, and made the whole process super streamlined. They had plenty of availability, which was really nice. I was able to book an appointment with only a couple days notice, which made it really easy to get seen. Dr. Fadi was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, efficient, answered all my questions, and made the whole visit feel easy. The dental hygienist was amazing as well. The cleaning was very smooth and there was no pain at all, which is always nice when getting your teeth cleaned. One thing I also really appreciated was that everyone was friendly and helpful, but they also didn't try to carry a whole conversation while actively working on my teeth, which honestly was great because you can't really answer anyway. It made the cleaning feel very relaxed and comfortable. The scheduling staff was also very helpful with setting up my next appointment and proactive about looking into my insurance, which I really appreciated. Overall, 10/10 experience. Very professional, easy, and comfortable from start to finish. I will definitely be returning and would absolutely recommend this dentist!

Came in for my first cleaning and oh my god, I never been in that much pain in a dentist office before, including when I had to get multiple wisdom teeth out. The dentist also seemed like she was upset about how much "work" I needed? If just cleaning hurt that much, ain't no way I was coming back to get a root canal here. Went to a different dentist, and was told all I needed was ONE filling and a cleaning (mentioned I had just gotten one in a different place and was told I had stains and some buildup in the back of my mouth that they recommended getting take care of). Ended up spending 1/8 of the money I was originally quoted. Moral of the story? Second opinion is everything. Can't say I would recommend Dental center to anyone.

    Be careful when choosing this dental office. I spent weeks trying to schedule an appointment,…read morecalling multiple times and leaving voicemails that were never returned. When I finally got through, I was told there was only one available appointment time, which I fortunately was able to make work. When I arrived, I felt rushed from the moment I checked in. I was taken straight to the chair without anyone clearly explaining the procedure or what to expect. I also asked for an invoice or treatment breakdown so I could understand exactly what I was paying for, but they wouldn't provide one. What made me most uncomfortable was being told they only had 40 minutes available for a procedure that was supposed to take about an hour. Combined with the rushed environment and the dismissive attitude I experienced from both the dentist and the staff, I no longer felt confident moving forward with my treatment. Because I was already anxious about going to the dentist, I decided to refuse the procedure. I wasn't expecting anyone to eliminate my anxiety, but I did expect clear communication and a little reassurance before spending a significant amount of money on dental work. Unfortunately, I left feeling unheard and uncomfortable rather than cared for. & of course they'll try to save face under my review. But if I were the problem they wouldn't have sincerely apologized and offered to host me again Monday and provide a payment plan which I respectfully refused. After reading the owner's response, I feel it's important to clarify that my review is based entirely on my personal experience. I have no reason to misrepresent what happened. My concerns were not about the dental work itself, because I ultimately chose not to move forward with the procedure. My concerns were about the communication and overall experience. I spent weeks trying to reach the office, felt rushed during my appointment, wasn't given a clear breakdown of the treatment when I asked, and was told there wasn't enough time to complete a procedure that was expected to take longer. Combined with the way I was treated, I no longer felt comfortable proceeding and made the decision to leave. I'm simply sharing my experience so others can make an informed decision. Also, take the time to read the other low reviews. I could have saved a lot of time.

If you're looking for a dentist you can trust, especially if you're new to the area like I was, I highly recommend this place!!

I would recommend going to an actual dentist that when they do an exam they actually check for everything, ask for camera equipment photos where you can see for yourself. Not just a stupid X-ray that shows barely anything. Take care of your teeth, don't just ruin them going to the wrong people.
