I am a new patient of Dr. Barkate seeking his expertise to help resolve my sleep apnea problem. I…read moream originally from Japan and a language is still a barrier (as you can tell from this writing) but I feel the language is never a barrier at Barkate Nehi's dental practice. I always feel most welcome and well taken care of. All aspect of Dr. Barkate's practice, in my humble opinion, is of excellence. Dr. Barkate: I trust he is one of most qualified and experienced doctor who is at the prime of his career serving this community. I feel very grateful I am under his care. I can feel he truly care about each and all of his patients. My visit to his practice is alway pleasant, feeling so blessed we have Dr. Barkate in the OC! I had countless questions about sleep apnea and the MAD (Mandibular Advancement Device) treatment but all the questions were answered most thoroughly with crystal clear clarity and at my first consultation to check if I am a candidate to receive this MAD treatment. I felt very comfortable and left the office with a sense of "trust" and "respect" to Dr. Barkate and his practice with 100% satisfaction. Appointment and follow-through: All the front office team members are excellent and always make me wonder how can this happen. Everyone highly professional, thorough, friendly, courteous and helpful. Kendall, you are a wonderful representation of the excellence of Barkate Nehi practice. Gill,a backoffice technician, is wonderful. He is very thorough and committed to his career. While the dental/medical questions are all answered by Dr. Barkate, procedural/maintenance questions are all answered thoroughly by him. Being new to this sleep apnea problem, I have countless questions but he never miss any questions unanswered. With preciseness. And, last but not least, Maggie who is an insurance specialist, I am very impressed with wealth of her knowledge, experience and professionalism. My PCP warned me that the fee for MAD (Mandibular Advancement Device) is not covered by insurance. Wrong. My out of pocket expense ended up only at 30% and got 70% refunded from Medicare and Medigap insurances. So, my PCP or a general perception is wrong. I am very glad insurance aspect was also taken care with zero concerns and zero frustrations in a timely manner. I have an adult daughter and wished Dr. Barkate was her orthodontist!

Beyond being so knowledgeable, she is genuinely friendly and takes her time to make sure everything is done right. It's clear she really cares about you as a human being and is fully focused on fixing the condition at hand while making sure you're comfortable. Chanel, the office manager, is just as wonderful. She truly cares about every patient in the office and goes above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of in every way possible. It's rare to find a practice where everyone is this invested in your well-being. I'm so happy I found them!

I originally went to this practice after my previous dentist of 40 years retired. It was close and…read morefairly new looking. On my first visit, I should have turned around after I went to the men's bathroom and found it was also being used as a storeroom for supplies, ala Mar-a-Lago--MY mistake #1. When I mentioned the sanitary implications, the scheduler said it was just temporary storage for an upcoming humanitarian trip. To describe this assembly line office is difficult. Everybody has a task, and the treatment rooms are open concept, just low pony walls separating treatment areas with no doors. You can literally hear four different conversations going on at once; if you want privacy, this isn't your place. This is a large practice composed of merry-go-round 1099 dentists--never saw the same one twice in over 10 years. The great hygienist I saw was the only reason I kept going back, since I have good teeth and only had one cavity in 60 years. The pressure to upsell with fluoride treatments, shorter cleaning intervals, deep cleaning, and sometimes concerning observations about gum and bone issues (which turned out to be nothing) were just part of the upsell routine. Dealing with this by saying no, was worse than dealing with the F&I closer at a car dealer. I had one twenty year old crown that was examined by the dentist on duty and told there was hidden decay under it that should be dealt with. After the dentist poked around under the cap, I got home and noticed it affected the bite. Afraid I was going to have it come off, I reluctantly scheduled to have it replaced by the examining dentist--MY mistake #2. I had to pay ahead of time to have the appointment scheduled, and showed up in a room next to others where multiple caps were being done at the same time by one dentist. Hearing the uncomfortable sounds from adjacent rooms made me realize somebody was having major issues! Unfortunately, I was the low guy on the treatment totem pole, I was waiting uncomfortably supine more than being worked on. My tooth was hurriedly ground down A LOT and my delay was supposedly linked to the cap being "printed" and cured. After the procedure was done, the dentist said the root was close and that "we'll have to monitor it", MY mistake #3. Fast forward after weeks of dull pain in my lower jaw, which would not subside; the pain becoming acutely worse. I emailed the office and got the equivalent of a "take two aspirin" recommendation, after being told it might be a bite misalignment, supposedly a common post treatment problem. I then called the office requesting a "head" dentist appointment. Since he only works Fridays, I would have to wait the week. The pain got so bad, I got a referral from one of my doctors to his personal dentist, who saw me within the hour and immediately set me up with an endodontist for an emergency root canal, all within four hours! If the owner of Ladera can't be bothered to take care of one of his long time patients in pain, how do you think you'll fare as a newbie? After I called to cancel my Friday appointment after I told them I had an emergency root canal, they offered not even an apology or refund of the botched cavity/crown job! Learn from my mistakes and go elsewhere. No matter who your general dentist is, if you need a root canal, this is a procedure where you want a specialist. An Endodontist requires an extra two years of specialized training above a general DDS, with the specialized training, equipment, and staff who do these procedures all day.

DO NOT pay this office in Advance for your care…read more They won't care for your love ones once they get your money. Once they get your money they really don't care about your well being at all. The receptionist Sherry does not care about their patient and lied to our face. When we told her we didn't believe that she had no idea when the doctor was going to be in the next two weeks, she asked us to leave and threatened to call police!!! Imagine that. Getting $6,000 in advance and not caring after they get your money. They made an appointment with our son, 12 years old during the school day without telling him or telling us. When we realized the appointment was during the school day and wanted to re-schedule before our son going overseas for three months, she refused, saying he should be okay and gave us a tool to use it in case of emergency. We have no idea how to use that tool and she gave no direction. This is the procedure they deemed necessary to be performed in May, but now she claimed a three months delay would not affect his teeth. After consulting with other doctors we realized she lied again and this is not the case. We thought people should know this about this place. The Orthodontist who they bought this facility from was excellent doctor and treated our daughter a few years ago. We believe they are using his reputation and high scores for their own benefits. It's a shame to have a local doctor to treat you like this.

My husband came in late and the doctor re-explained everything to him (I was not expecting this at all!). They sent a card in the mail which was a cute touch afterwards. The child gets to pick a toy from the treasure box when they are finished. Office is SO clean and staff is friendly. I found them at the RMV farmers market and I am so glad that I made an appointment. It is important to practice & familiarize kids with going to the dentist and the staff was soooo good about this.
