I never recognized it as she encouraged me to only use hers not my previous one. It caused an improper bit and a lopsided smile. When I noticed it, she refused to deal with me and sent me to an orthodontist who immediately wanted to do full braces. I went to further dentists who wanted to wire my jaws shut, give me 6 new crowns,pull out teeth, etc. I then found Dr Nguyen; ethical, professional, personable, fun, delightful and other superlatives. I can't recommend him and his staff enough. He's highly qualified and really likes his patients. So rare!!!!

I am one who is nervous for dental care, and I can confidently say I will be back for my continued care with them.

The cleaning and dental work was satisfactory but the customer service is enough to turn me off from ever returning. As someone else mentioned, when they came to give me quotes for the proposed treatment plan Sandra would randomly decide the price could be lower for certain things and just crossed off the original price with her new quote. Lower price would be fantastic except in the end I was charged the original higher price. That was my first red flag. I was told I needed a night guard during the first visit so they scanned my mouth for the mold. The dentist tells me they can just add a note saying the chipped tooth was fixed so the lab could account for that. As I'm checking out Sandra (who apparently works in the front and the back?) asks me to come back so she can scan the chipped tooth now that it's fixed. Fine, I go back. I sit there for 20 minutes while she tries to make the machine work, gives up and tells me they will just add the note like they said originally. Next day, I get a call saying they DO need to scan my mouth again so I go back for a second time. I went in today to pick it up (3rd visit). There is no night guard - they ordered a stay plate instead (which I don't need). Sandra comes out telling me they will rush order it and I can pick it up soon, no offer to send it to my house, no credit for my troubles nothing. I'm so annoyed I tell them to cancel the whole thing and refund me because I refuse to drive out FOUR times for a night guard. Five minutes after I leave I get a call from Sandra saying she realized it would be "too much of a hassle" to reimburse the insurance and myself so she can just ship it to me because that'll be easier for HER. I refused and will now be on the lookout for my refund which I'm sure will be a whole ordeal as well.

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!
