I was on the hunt for a new dental home after my longtime dentist retired, and I'm SO glad I found…read moreSalinas Valley Dental Care! From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was in good hands. I'll be honest--walking into a new dental office made me a little nervous, but Darci (the assistant) was so warm and welcoming. She gave me a quick little tour and totally helped ease my nerves. It honestly felt like visiting a friend's office! Dr. Goldman was amazing--super knowledgeable and took the time to go over everything with me. She even complimented the onlays and veneers I had done previously, which made me feel like she really noticed the details. AJ, my hygienist, was also fantastic. He was so professional and made me feel completely at ease while taking my oral records. He asked thoughtful questions about my dental habits and even gave me a few helpful flossing tips I hadn't heard before. Plus, the office is beautiful and fully equipped with modern technology and little touches that remind me of my old dentist's place (which I loved). It's also super convenient with my work schedule--huge bonus! If you're looking for a dental office that's professional and personal, I highly recommend Salinas Valley Dental Care. They're officially my new favorite place for that fresh, clean teeth feeling.

I am so sad I have to change my review. I had some work done recently that continues to cause me…read moreproblems. I had zero discomfort or pain before I had to work done. I've had to go back in twice since having the work done to be checked out. The first time they corrected my bite and the dentist re- drilled to correct it. The whole time he was drilling the shavings were going to the back of my throat, and I was choking he said oh it's just teeth dust lol Also, most of the reception women are very friendly, but every time I speak to Natalie she is so rude and seems like she hates her job. Once I get this problem corrected, I will not be returning to Salinas valley Dental care, sadly. I feel like the staff is overwhelmed because they're taking them more patients than they can handle. Also, the office seems to be following apart their exam rooms have paint peeling off the walls and stained ceiling tiles.

I was so nervous because I'd heard horror stories about the general procedure (tooth extraction and…read moreimplant) and going to MOSA based on some of the reviews. I am still in the healing phase of the procedure, but my experience proved nothing to be concerned about. The ladies in both the office and those who assisted Dr. Lloyd were approachable, knowledgeable, and helpful. They took the time to review anything I had questions about in person and via the phone. I was forewarned that getting the insurance estimate would take some time. I watched the process online and know it was my insurance company that took so long. The text communications about appointments and the videos on what to expect were very useful. They prepped me well for the day of the procedure. I showed up relaxed (special thanks to the Valium) and before I knew it, I was in recovery. So far, everything is going smoothly, and I am healing well. No one wants a tooth removed, but this team seems to have the process dialed in. Thanks for doing everything you did to help take my anxiety away!

Everyone is so friendly and professional. We actually look forward to going to the dentist! A few years ago, our son was attending UC Santa Barbara. He was riding his bike to school to clean out his lab before the Thanksgiving break when he was struck by a car (hit and run!). In addition to some scrapes and bruises, three of his front teeth were broken. Our son did not want to walk around with broken front teeth so he called Dr. Carl's office right away to see if he could get in ASAP. It was 2 days before Thanksgiving and Dr. Carl was leaving early for the holiday. Dr. Carl's office said if he could get to the office before 2pm, he could work on him. Our son did his best to get there on time, but he ended up arriving at 3PM. Dr. Carl waited until he got there and fixed his teeth that day! We were so grateful.

I have made a couple of runs at seeking care in Carmel and Monterey, but each time it was made clear that I was not "their kind of patient." The fancy dentists seem to be looking for patients who will have their teeth cleaned twice a year, and maybe get a filling or a crown once in a while. That's not me. Today I finally gathered my courage and went in to see Dr. Abbas at Dr. Wetzel's practice in Salinas. I was terrified. Needlessly, as it turns out. Dr. Abbas and the staff were super kind, calming and non judgemental. They were also very organized and competent. Within a half hour Dr. Abbas laid out a number of treatment plans for me, explained each in detail, and left me to make my own decision. I cannot recommend Dr. Wetzel's practice enough. If they were able to calm all my fears, I can imagine they would also be great with kids, and anyone like me with a general dread of dentistry. Thank you so much!

Well, I unfortunately "landed" at Dr. Silva's office again for a tooth extraction, because another…read moreless experienced dentist fractured my tooth and could not complete the extraction. Let me emphasize that Dr. Silva is not only a dentist (DDS), but also a physician/surgeon, who attended medical school and completed a surgical residency (oral/maxillofacial) after attending dental school. As such, he not only works on complex dental issues (sometimes due to the failure of other, less trained dentists), but he also performs surgery on the jaw, sinuses and facial bones. What I'm getting at is this guy is expert at repairing most things above the neck. My "adventure" started with expertly-placed local anesthesia (think Novocaine) so that I felt absolutely no pain whatsoever and yet I was still able to feel most of my face, lips, etc. After about 1 hour of cutting, scraping, prying and suturing, the job was done. Post-op pain and swelling were minimal and almost completely resolved within 48 hours. Thank you Dr. Silva! Dr. Silvia's "supporting cast" is just as professional and competent as he is. They are all very sweet and nice as well and made my visit as non-traumatic as possible. Shout out to Doreen (front desk/billing) as well as the team of surgical/dental assistants: Tracy, Maryanna and Karla. Thank you ladies, YOU ROCK! CM
