The staff is always so friendly and professional and personable…read more.The one time I needed work done I was able to pay half in advance and the rest the day of the appointment. Which made it really affordable for me. I know it's something small but I really like how they use these sponges in your mouth for x rays. It makes the experience so much more comfortable. When you get in the seat for cleaning you are offered glasses for the light. They also always have something on tv for you while you're getting cleaned. All in all a great experience!

I HIGHLY recommend this office…read more I cannot say enough good things about this office. From the front desk staff to the techs to my favorite hygienist to the doctor, they have taken such great care of my husband and me over the past year and a half. I have A LOT of anxiety around doctors appointments and dentists and they have done everything to ease that anxiety and have made going to the dentist not a dreaded experience for the first time in my life. Because of the chemotherapy I had and the medicines I'm on, I am super prone to cavities--they have helped me stay on top of my teeth and lower the number of cavities I get. On top of my anxiety, I have the dreaded "red head gene" which means I'm next to impossible to numb, but they have found a way to make sure I am numb and comfortable when I do have to get a cavity filled. My hygienist went above & beyond and took a class on pain management which covered what to do for patients like me--I mean come on! She's someone who REALLY cares about her patients. All this to say, if you're looking for a dentist for you or your kiddos, my husband and I adore this women-run office!

I had been living for almost two years with a very small chip on a front tooth from biting on a…read moreforeign body lurking in some restaurant food. Two other dentists were pessimistic about their ability to fix it with bonding, without substantial removal of tooth structure. As I am blessed with overall healthy and pretty teeth, I resigned myself to just live with it. While it was barely noticeable to others, it was a substantial source of frustrating, near-constant physical discomfort for me. After moving to San Antonio, I wondered if this practice could help me out. Dr. Beckel saw me for what I assumed would be just a preliminary consultation, and he convinced me to let him fix it right then and there! I got the sense he could tell it had really been bugging me a while, and wanted to make it better. I felt his communication was good and his bedside manner really excellent. He gave the problem a lot of thought personalized to my specific case, and was optimistic--but realistic--about his ability to fix it with as microscopically minimal enamel removal as possible. After just a few minutes, I got handed a mirror and was stunned to see a tooth that looked genuinely as good as new. It was actually a bit shocking, in a good way. I am truly amazed by the appearance of this bonding. I feel that not only was the natural look of my teeth fully appreciated, but the complex manner in which light moves through the thin edges of my enamel, creating a range of shades, is continued seamlessly throughout the restoration. I was fully expecting to see some kind of subtle boundary or shading difference there, but it actually looks perfect. This must have taken a high level of skill and a profound understanding of dental aesthetics. Of course, the next test will be to see how it holds up long-term. Overall, I came in with what I understand to be a fairly challenging request. I was met with enthusiasm, consideration, and compassion.

This place is incredible. The staff, the doctors, everyone is genuinely passionate about what they…read moredo. I had a crown lengthening surgery with Dr. Alvarez and she was one of the most kind and thorough professionals I've ever met.

She is so detailed and always making sure we have the best teeth possible. -The front desk staff is always smiling, very informative, and quick with answers regarding billing. -Today I had fillings done on my front teeth, I was nervous bc I was scared it was going to look blotchy, Dr. Biel EXCEEDED my expectations, you can't even tell I had anything done to them. -They NEVER pressure you or make you feel bad if you can't afford a procedure, they just wait patiently until you are ready.

I have to say the reception wasn't the greatest experience but the Doctor and hygienist were…read moreamazing. As a new customer I made an appointment to have an initial check up, got there on the day of my appointment and checked in, couple minutes later a different receptionist asked if I've been helped and I replied yes I was checked in. Then was asked my name, then told, " your phone isn't working!" I said excuse me yes it is. Receptionist said well I tried calling to tell you your appointment has been moved cause they were falling behind. I asked what number they had and it was wrong. So rescheduled for 2 weeks out, again checked in and was told I'd need to wait cause they were behind. I mean no sorry for the first rude comment the first time and now no apology this second time around. I didn't need an apology but the professionalism wasn't there. I mean the insinuation that this was my fault felt very disrespectful. If not for the amazing Doctor and hygienist I wouldn't come back, but they were great. The establishment itself is very clean and Dr. Garza is awesome.

They are truly here to provide you with a service that suits your needs, not tricking you into spending more money. I want to offer a HUGE shout out to Lauren, my dental hygienist, who offered exceptional service to me.

I asked her to look at a spot on the front of my teeth that has been causing me confidence issues and she buffed it right out. I can go back to sporting a full smile again!

I appreciate her professionalism, have built a rapport with her and that she's not excessively chatty. She's given me tips over the years and I know I'm in good hands when I'm being attended by her. I get disappointed if she isn't available. I had X-rays today and those bite-wing things can be overwhelming in the mouth so I just focused because at one point I almost threw up for some reason when it was towards the back of my mouth but I held it together. Luckily it's only once a year. Everything was straightforward and afterwards, Dr. Ruiz examined my mouth, scraped a little and I asked her about getting a new, thinner Mouthguard that will act like a Retainer. At first she mentioned one product that was for my upper and lower teeth but I told her I didn't have braces on my lower teeth so she thought about it and decided to have me try something else. I ended up ordering an Essix Retainer that's thicker than a regular Invisalign Retainer which is more flimsy so it acts like a Night Guard. I was able to get an iTero mouth/teeth 3D scan at the beginning of my appointment so I was able to skip an appointment and just come for the fitting later this month. The 3D scan is a new and free procedure that tracks changes in your mouth/teeth for future reference. Dr. Ruiz was very nice in our brief visit. My regular dentist is currently on Maternity Leave. As always, I leave with extra sample toothpaste, toothbrush and floss. The office has a Keurig machine, chips tray and bottled water in a small fridge and an Air Purifier out in the waiting room.

I am absolutely obsessed with this place! From the moment we walked in (my boyfriend and I) until…read morethe moment we left, everyone here made us feel like actual celebrities with VIP treatment but you can tell they do this for absolutely everyone of their customers. Robinson and Christie greeted us as soon as we walked in the door and immediately made us feel welcomed and at home. Everyone was so sweet and so incredibly caring in making us feel comfortable and making sure we were okay at every second. I know going to a dentist can sometimes be scary and extremely uncomfortable but if you are worried about those two things, as I initially was, just know you will be in AMAZING hands here. Everyone genuinely cares about you and you can feel it. Everyone has an awesome personality and you can tell they all love what they do. My dental hygienist, Sydney, (pictured above) took the time to explain all types of things to me so I would better understand how to truly take care of my teeth and also told me some pretty awesome stories to keep my mind off of what was happening. They also made sure to give me a neck pillow and blanket as I was cold and nervous which made me feel so comfortable and homey. I literally felt l like I was visiting my family and I truly mean that. Also, if you get anxious or panicky like I do when anything is involving dental work, they have this really cool machine which I am blanking on the name, but it really helps you calm down and not been as worried about what is going on in your mouth. The dentist I saw was also really great and gentle and took the time to see what was going on with me. You could tell he really cared and wanted to make sure I was okay. Not once did I ever feel like they only saw me as a dollar sign (which I have felt at other dentist places before) and they saw me as a human being in which they really wanted the best for. Lastly, the reason I picked this place to begin with, is because the owners of this place also take place in doing charity dentistry for others in developing countries. I only want to spend my money at places in which my money could also help others so this was a huge one for me. Everything else was just icing on the cake!! I cannot believe I have never experienced this type of dentist office before and now that I have had a taste of the good life, I could never go anywhere else! I HIGHLY recommend this place and hope others try it out. I have told everyone I know about this place and will continue to do so. Also, they gave me some really cool goodies below which are SO cute!!! I love them! =]

I get sick before going to the dentist and it's not because I am terrified of what will happen, but rather all the before and after shots on every TV screen and the always flawless teeth of the staff glinting in the midafternoon sun. Dr. Camacho looks a bit like Dave Grohl as the pilot in the Learn to Fly video. I wasn't lucky enough to experience Dr. Camacho, but Mallory the assistant and the dentist who was helping out whose name I didn't catch because I was still in the "oh shit what is this going to cost me phase." I don't like to talk about my teeth, so I'll try and keep it simple. A half finished project on a tooth got pushed aside at various time because like all dental things, money became needed elsewhere. That tooth held strong for a very long time, but thanks to science and particular painful root canal, the tooth became brittle. Once the filling came out (while eating a Butterfinger no less). I should have gotten it repaired but I was always putting it off to tomorrow. When it cracked and shattered, I knew it was time. The assistant and the doc were both awesome, funny, and definitely cared about my comfort. It's hard to be comfortable with a pair of pliers in your mouth, but somehow they managed. The tooth resisted and the doctor only became more determined. Three pieces she said and she called it correctly. It's a bit sore right now, but I look forward to going back and chatting with them about my tooth future. I'm notorious for not being good with teeth, so hopefully they will help me out and not break the bank. Thanks Dr. Camacho and staff. Special thanks to Mallory who kept me from being bored and handles a suction line like a champ. And I think her name was Christina, but whoever booked my appointment deserves thanks too. Not everyday you can get emergency dental with a smile. I'll be back - thanks everyone!

My issue is with the corporate nature of a healthcare business where nobody who is there has any control over the actual patient experience. Instead, corporate overlords design and furnish with a primary goal toward cost savings. This is obvious by the chair. I have gone to half a century of dental visits all over the world and I have never experienced such a miserably uncomfortable dental chair. It is not adjustable for comfort, barely has an armrest, which is poorly positioned, and was clearly purchased by corporate overlords because it was cheapest, not in order to optimize the experience of the patient. I have mentioned it to the staff on multiple visits and they just apologize. Clearly the furnishings are just provided by the employer. And clearly the employer's main concern is making money, not making the patients comfortable.
