Dr. Cortese (and family) and I had been together since 1992, so I stuck around mostly for loyalty and helped by clever travel planning to and from the Bay Area. However, after a Friday appointment (earlier in 2024) when I didn't recognize anyone working that day, I finally decided to stop the commute and sign on with Gayle's strongly recommended dentist - Dr. Unruh. Every time a new dentist or hygienist opens my mouth, I image the person to be Laurence Olivier in Marathon Man asking me: Is it Safe? And as far as Gayle's high marks for this dentist and staff? Trust, but Verify. And Gayle's right! Dr. Unruh is kind of soft spoken, gentle but thorough, while explaining things well along the way. His support staff works in concert with that very nicely. Even the "contract" dental hygienist during my last visit told me that I had made a great choice. At my age where new things may crop up more often, I tend to take his or the hygienist's advice to heart. So far, I've had a full "on boarding" evaluation, a cavity filled, a classic probe-based teeth cleaning, and a precautionary referral. Things are moving on a positive direction and my new Waterpik will be arriving soon.

On February 1, 2024, I had first visit with Dr. Park, with the intention of establishing regular…read moredental care. X-rays were taken and exam performed. After exam, a treatment plan was presented by Sam the assistant who did the X-rays. There were three columns of numbers on the plan; Amount--Pri Ins--Patient. I made it clear to Sam my health insurance would pay zero toward plan and she indicated zero ins was listed. The first procedure, deep cleaning half of mouth was listed, Amount $592--Pri Ins $0--Patient $444 . I agreed to this. (see image) I was very impressed with Dr. Park, so I called my daughter and recommended she visit and get current with Dental care. On Feb 15, I returned for first procedure, half mouth deep cleaning. While it seemed rushed the procedure was satisfactory. On the way out, the woman at the back counter demanded $592. I thought she was adding amount from first visit, as my understanding was that the fee was $444 for today. I thought she had added on the X-ray/exam visit and advised those amounts should be submitted to Insurance as they would cover that. I paid the $444 and left. On Feb. 20 my daughter went in for exam/X-rays. Sam presented her with treatment plan. It showed for four fillings, Amount $1332--Pri Ins $0--Patient $922. Sam clearly told her $922 would be her cost. She was happy all would be done in one visit. On Feb. 29 my wife received a text message demanding payment. As she had not been to the office in months, she called to inquire. On speaker phone I heard it was my account being referred to. I spoke up and explained to front counter lady that my understanding was the Patient amount $444 was the total and thought Office was granting write off as shown on plan. The front office lady then told me it was the office's "prerogative" which amount to charge. I immediately canceled future appointment. On Mar. 5 my daughter went in for her fillings. After having been told her total would be $922, she was charged $1332 on way out. Is this what passes for proper office procedures these days? Seems like bait and switch to me. If you elect to use this office (Dr. Park) watch out.

I went in to Dr. West for an exam. He spent the first 15 min. telling me how my insurance company…read moreis slow in paying and doesn't pay well. He NEVER looked in my mouth at all. He said I had to have my teeth cleaned before any exam- I have never heard that from any dentist. His assistant did take way more x-rays than necessary so I'm sure he will over bill my insurance for that. On my next appt. at 9a.m NO ONE was there. The office was closed - no note on the door - nothing. The next day the office girl said "we sent an email to all patients" NOT ME. Another man showed up at 9 also so I'm not the only who did not get that message. My next appt I had to sign a form saying that I would pay for any shortage that my insurance company did not pay. AND I was overcharged on my first appt and when I asked for a refund I was told they don't refund to credit cards even tho that was how I paid. So I asked for a check- she said the Dr. only writes checks once a month. Well it's been 2 months and I'm still waiting. I will NEVER go back there.

I needed to find a new dentist as my old one of 20 years does not take my new insurance plan. This place takes all sorts of dental insurance and will show you a cost spreadsheet of the real costs so there's no surprises. The staff here is super accommodating and knows their stuff. The dentist Dr. Graber was friendly and let me know exactly what was gonna happen. I came in for an initial exam as a new patient. X-rays were done digitally and the resolution was so clear on the screen! They even have a super mini camera that takes a vid of your teeth close up so the doctor and YOU can see what's going on. He explained and showed me everything. I needed a new crown and a filling replaced. I was shown in detail on the screen what it looked like exactly and shown the cracks even on the old filling, so I knew it was really there. The filling was painless to replace and the crown was gonna be made right there in the office on this high tech digital machining device. No waiting a few weeks for a dental lab to make the crown and then come back again to have it installed. Ok, there's a $75 charge to do it the same day in the office, but that's well worth it! The crown went in easy, the machine took maybe 45 min to make it. I watched the doctor program the machine on the screen with a digital image of my teeth. My old dentist wasn't THIS high tech! I walked out with a new crown and filling and my insurance covered it all, except $75 to use that fancy crown making machine. Now I have cleanings scheduled here too. I like going to the dentist now!

I don't mind the drive for a good experience. The hygienist has been great and the dentist, Dr. Wildman, has been to the point and clear. I have always hated the dentist but I haven't loathed going to this office as much as others. My last dentist tried to tell me I had all kinds of issues and needed expensive treatment to fix the problems, but this office has been realistic and hasn't tried to upsell unneeded treatments. Scheduling has been easy and they send plenty of appointment reminders. You can complete all paperwork in advance online or at their office on one of their computers. They have top of the line tech and make both dental work and clerical work a breeze. As long as nothing crazy happens with insurance billing or upcoming appointments, I expect this review to stand at 5 stars. I recommend Arrowhead Dental Center for your dental needs!
