I ended up postponing the major work for a variety of reasons. I then called the office in November regarding the insurance plans they accepted as I was going through open enrollment options with my retirement plan. I left a message. No one called me back. I then sent an email through their website, explaining that I had contacted them regarding insurance but they never returned my call and now my open enrollment had closed . I expressed concern with their lack of follow-up. I never received a response to the email either. While Dr. Kim may be a proficient dentist, the office response to inquiries is poor. There are many highly recommended dentists in the Santa Barbara area...thankfully.

Dr. Jenkins + Miriam + Professionalism + Kindness + Skill = Johnson Family Dental, Goleta, CA…read more I went in for a routine cleaning. Dr. Jenkins informed me I had a chipped back molar that would require a crown. I tried to talk him out of it. He persisted. Said if I didn't get it taken care of, greater problems may develop. It could be more serious health wise with a greater impact on my pocketbook too. I came to my senses. I made an appointment for Dr. Jenkins to do my crown. It's not a fun process, people, yet necessary. Dr. Jenkins has a wonderful bedside manner, and his top-tier assistant, Miriam, was gentle, encouraging, and skilled. Three days later, the temporary crown popped off! Damn! I immediately called Johnson Family Dental, Goleta. They told me to come on in, which I did. Miriam took great care prepping my molar stub and re-gluing the temporary crown. I get my permanent crown in two weeks:) I couldn't be happier with the TLC I've received from Johnson Family Dental, Goleta, CA.

Highly recommend if you're looking for a dependable, no-nonsense dental practice.

They had many patient chairs/bays which were all empty. Afterwards, the office manager said she would get back with cost information after she called the insurance for a pre estimate for the treatment plan. She called saying she had to write something up and would call back. A week later after not hearing back, I called the office. A receptionist said the office manager "had an emergency" and would call back. She never did. A week after not hearing from her, I again called the office. The receptionist said the office manager was not in because "she had a little accident". She'll call me in 15 minutes. That was 4 days ago and she never returned my call. Out of curiosity, I called my dental insurance. They keep a record of all calls. They had zero record that Gold Coast dental ever called for a pre-estimate. Needless to say, not going back. Getting treatment elsewhere. NOT good! Take note of the other review here and also reviews elsewhere online. There is something seriously wrong with this office. Not just unprofessional but dare I say creepy and shady, IMO. This place deserves -0 stars.
