Dr. McGuire's fillings are impeccable, and I trust her completely with the inside of my mouth. I actually look forward to going in for dental work.

Horrible treatment for a senior! This dentist owned office does bad business in my experience. They…read moreowe me the most important appt that I have already paid for. Mostly the problems are with the manager (deception & delayed or no communication) though isn't every owner the one ultimately responsible? If Dr Ellen Pacleb cared about following through on the clinical - administrative end I am sure she would of. They market they will give you a Report of Findings type end visit with the manager who claims clinician experience to do so. Is she an unlicensed technician or dentist of some sort that is able to give findings after assement from what the actually licensed dentist used to give? This being up to half hour (in their office) as your last part of services rendered while establishing care. I never got the complete care promised and even had it scheduled at one point before it was apparent there was no charting notes. Apparently those notes is what usually happens there (of course!) and lends the foundations for the manager to be able to do her last appt with me before treatment with dentist or specialized cleaning all within the office. This could be possibly because I spoke up about it as the office manager decided to attempt to deny access of any future possibilities of that appt just yesterday. Dismissive business folks shouldn't underestimate the ability for a patient to see through the nefarious. Not keeping their word on a critical piece of the post assesment is unethical. Is not that precisely why a person would go to the dentist? To understand clearly what is wrong with our teeth/mouth/gums so we can make an informed consent decision on what to do next? With the clinician and/or overall staff? I even have a family member who was treated haphazardly too. Just last year! They made it so hard for her, also a senior, that she gave up and established elsewhere. In my situation there were not even any chart notes after an extensive visit with the Dr where no information was given to me in real time. Part of the overall office culture in my experience is unprofessionalism. Cutting corners in this business leaves the patient high and dry - unless they advocate like I am in this case. The manager (or Dentist not sure) withheld time sensitive information that I needed a very specialized Dr outside of the office and didn't even have the respect to tell me for a year. And they didn't divulge why (with dx etc) I was recommended this yesterday add on type of care in the first place. Extraordinary poorly managed medical dental office. If you want to be treated like a number and wait a long time for communication that may never come this is your place. They sure are capable it seems in taking your money. There is no cutting corners there. Glad I owe not a penny and have verification of what I just stated above to seek fairness when able.

We went to this practice for a while but came to feel they just wanted money. It started when Dr…read morePacleb told me all my fillings needed to be replaced, requiring multiple different visits over a period of weeks. I grew skeptical. Around the same time, they scheduled my wife for multiple visits for simple things that seemed as if they could have been consolidated.

Even though my current insurance is not in the same network as his practice, he is so good that I gladly pay out of pocket to get my cleanings twice a year. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

They saw me first thing the next morning to glue it back on. I can hardly believe I used to have a lot of fear about going to the dentist. At one point I needed to take Valium to go through with it. (I think two experiences contributed to that--when I was in HS, a dentist hit my nerve with his drill and I saw "Marathon Man," the classic thriller with Dustin Hoffman, which features a torture scene with a dentist and dental tools. Don't see that if you think you might be as haunted as I have been.) But the point is--I am not scared anymore. I tip my hat to the crew at this practice!

5 stars and they continue to surprise me…read more Based on my visit on July 17, 2025, I want to add to my 5 star 2022 review, and to all the other positive things people have written here. The actions of everyone involved with that visit exceeded the already high opinion and expectations I've had for this practice. (Probably TMI, but I was returning after a 15-month gap, though the assumption at my last visit was that I'd have more dental work done and another cleaning before the end of 2004. I'd phoned earlier this week and Karissa was able to work some skilled scheduling magic to get me seen much sooner than I'd expected.) Dr. Lim was, as always, pleasant and skilled in his exam, and then excellent at clearly explaining the changes since he'd last seen me and what our options were for proceeding. Then he clearly and transparently answered my questions about the pros and cons of each option, and we agreed on a plan for the future dental work. Then, my teeth were cleaned by dental hygienist Kat (or Cat, shame on. me for not having clarified the spelling of her name, especially since this was the second time she'd worked on my teeth). For 20 years or more, until her retirement, Leslie had been the hygienist at this office who did my cleanings. She was excellent, and I figured she'd be a "hard act to follow," so it was a very pleasant surprise when Kat did my cleaning in 2024 and I realized that her skill level at both dental hygiene and patient interaction is everything one could possibly wish for, which was again the case on July 17. Also, the "desk staff" are always pleasant and helpful, including, of course, Mindy, who answered the phone when I called the next day to get the correct spelling of Karissa's name while neglecting to get the correct spelling of Cat's, and to explain that I was going to ignore the request to do a Google review but would add to my previous Yelp review. As I now have.

Then, I told my friend how they fashioned a video to take my teeth from all crooked to perfect with Invisalign (after been told by a dept head at a prestigious dental university this wouldn't work for me); she said that this practice told her whole family they need Invisalign! These are young people with gorgeous teeth. One visit after a cleaning they added a fluoride treatment without asking me. Then they charged me $75 for it, at least double what any other practice was charging at the time. I can't wait to try a new dentist that feels like their priority is medical rather than commercial.

Equipment here is very new, and they even have personal tv monitors directly in front of you to watch shows on during your appointment. Only small gripe I had initially was after my first appointment when they got my address mixed up in their system and put in my former dentist's address in as my own.
