The front desk ladies are a pleasure to speak with and very helpful, patiently & thoughly answering all my questions. Those working on my teeth really put me at ease. I had to make separate appointments for my check-up and my cleaning, but I got the most thorough teeth cleaning ever. Every last bit of gunk was removed during a full 1-hr session and afterwards my teeth were transformed from slightly yellow to glistening white! They felt completely different - completely smooth and shiny.

    I have not lived in Eureka for three years, but I often find myself still thinking about how…read moreamazing Dr. Kime was and how much I miss having him as my dentist. Dr. Kime was the first dentist who took my jaw pain seriously. Previous dentists said there was nothing that could be done about my persistent jaw pain, but Dr. Kime explained that wearing a night guard would help (and it did). I had previously developed a lot of anxiety about going to the dentist because I knew that keeping my mouth open for so long would cause my jaw to become tense and, at times, lock up. However, Dr. Kime listened to me, believed me, and always made sure I was comfortable. I also got an amazing teeth whitening at Dr. Kime's. I had told him and his staff that I was getting married and the whitening really helped boost my confidence on my wedding day. In fact, years later, I still feel so much confidence from having whiter teeth. The process was easy, comfortable, and stress free. Dr. Kime and his staff were all so generous and kind during my time as a patient there. I will always compare my dentists to Dr. Kime and I will not settle for substandard dentistry again because I know that amazing dentists are out there. If you ever read this Dr. Kime (or staff), thank you so much.

I needed to have an exam is what they said. going.to cost me about 400 dollars that was fine because I was considering getting a new dentist. I was very specific about the few crowns I needed and I got a price from them so I decided to go in because I could afford that. To make a long story short, they wanted to charge me $1500 more for no reason and I told them about The importance of doing what you say you're going to do. When you're in business that is very important. The big problem about giving me a price over the phone and wasting my time and 400 dollars. They didn't care about trying to charge me more and they won't see me again.

I explained that I had "dental anxiety". Dr Lewis was very kind, explained everything carefully then performed the broken tooth extraction with skill. It was extracted quickly and pain free! Dr Lewis dental assistant was knowledgeable and skilled at taking X-rays. I received a full exam that day, as well. Jan at the front desk was quick to respond to all my voice messages and answer all my questions with compassion and professionalism. My 'dental anxiety' was met with patience, kindness and care. I highly recommend Dr. Lewis and staff.

    If you are reading this because you are searching for a new dentist, I would suggest that you just…read moredon't walk, but you run up the hill! I would give ZERO stars if i could. I had been excited to finally find someone that took my insurance again. I had my establishment appointment today where they did a full set of xrays. Two hours later, but not more than 10 minutes actually talking to Akbari, I walked out with not much more than a 10,000 dollar treatment plan and very little explanation about the treatment recommendation or information about options. When I asked how they would do the procedure for MY personal condition, she showed me a YouTube video for the procedure but treating a different condition instead! She started the video and almost immediately walked out the room, leaving me to watch by myself! Before she walked out, she DID say that the video should tell me everything I would need to know but let her know if I had questions. Well, I actually did have questions, but the only other staff I was able to see after that was the front desk lady who came in to give me my treatment plan and cost. When I told her I had more questions for the dentist, she didn't actually let me talk to Akbari , but instead, asked me what my questions were, quickly consulted the notes on my treatment plan, and confirmed to me that I needed the treatment. Well, that wasn't my question!! With all that said, I did not leave the office with a good feeling at all. Just worry. Because even if I did decide to do the procedure, it wouldn't be by that office for sure! my dentist is yet to be found. Not only did Akbari do a poor job communicating to me details about my condition, information about my options and what to expect with the recommended procedure , she came off as cold, uncaring, and maybe even a little mean. She did look at two "concerning" areas in my mouth. The first spot, she was a bit more gentle. She barely touched it with her dental pick and then asked if it was sensitive. When I said no, she then took out the air syringe and roughly , I'd say almost angrily, blasted two or three hard puffs of air on that spot which did make me flinch then before telling me that she wanted to move me back into the xray room and will continue the exam in there! I really thought those blasts of air were unnecessary, especially if she was just going to move me into another room before continuing her "exam" anyway! And the xray room took time to set up! I wish I would've thought to look up reviews on Mehta and Akbari before going in. My experience was similar to these reviews and I'm not surprised at all at the low ratings. I guess my search for a good dentist continues.

Three cleanings a year instead of two keeps me from adding to my crown count and keeps my gum pockets shallow. Having been to a lot of dentists, I've experienced everything from hygienists performing acupuncture on my gums to not being properly numbed for a filling to having two root canals done on the same tooth on the same day because the first guy did it wrong and sent me to his mentor to fix it. NOTHING LIKE THAT WOULD EVER HAPPEN WITH DR. WONENBERG! Seriously, this man is the best dentist I've ever had (and in spite of the horror stories above, I've had some good ones). Great touch, definitely cares about the patients and the work he and his staff do, and he's at the front edge of modern dental technology. If you need a dentist and you can get Dr. Wonenberg, you won't just be happy, you'll be truly blessed.

The only downsides I have experienced is when an emergency appointment is given to another patient causing a delay to my own appointment. It's a rare occurrence but it does happen. I just have to remember to be an adult when it does and accept it.
