Mark D.

Very impressed, in today for a dental exam and cleaning. Discussed my teeth and future needs with Dr Skidmore. I've got a crown to go on an implant in the next few weeks and replacing an old filing lined up. Jenifer the hygienist cleaned and polished my teeth up. Nice job. Didnt poke me once. She must have sensed my nervousness and was very gentle. Good job! Office is located on the third floor of a medical building. Big parking lot on three sides around the building .

Stay clear of this dental office! The staff is either uneducated or are purposefully withholding information. The people who work here were mean girls in highschool. They will give you expired products. If you choose this dental office you will also have a terrible experience. My terrible experience with Dr. Skimdores office is in regards to getting my teeth whitened. I made an appointment over the phone and the first person I talked to said that you can't just come in and get your teeth whitened. You have to take home trays with whitening serum for 2 weeks and then go in and get them whitened. (Other dental offices don't do this)  But I went along and made the appointment. I go in for my appointment to get the trays.  First, I was in the chair waiting to start for over 10 minutes because the assistants were gossiping in the back. I could very clearly hear them.  Then the assistant who did the scans didn't talk to me or explain what was happening. Conveniently,  the machine went into low power mode and wouldnt show the scans that were just taken. Mind you, the assistant didn't tell me what was happening, she just talked to her co-worker about it so I had to eavesdrop. A 15 minute appointment took almost an entire hour. When I was told I could leave, I asked where my trays were and was told I had to come back in a week for them. I was never told that it would take three appointments for the whitening. One for the scan, second for the trays, third for the in house service. My husband came and got the trays a week later. We opened up the instructions and saw that you have to wear the trays THE ENTIRE NIGHT for 2 weeks in a row. Not one of the 3 people that I spoke to throughout the process said that you needed to wear the whitening trays, at night or for even the entire night. Then I noticed the whitening serum was expired as of March of 2019. Not only had I received terrible customer service but now I needed to make an extra trip to Temecula to receive non-expired whitening serum. Not to mention the front desk girls and assistants are the girls that were bullies in highschool. Very cliquey mean girl vibes. As well, the office has absolute zero diversity. When you go on the website to "meet the team" the 8 girls shown with Dr. Skidmore are all blonde and white. As you scroll down, to see the other members of the team they are almost all white-passing women. Such a lack of diversity and a very toxic office culture. My entire experience was met with rude people, there was such a huge lack of information given and it was not a pleasant experience. I paid 500$ upfront to get my teeth whitened and this is what I was met with.. Stay clear of this dental office.

I called and they scheduled a consultation appointment for as soon as they could. They do book up quickly since they are quite busy (I think that's a good sign). They are closed on Fridays. I wasn't sure what to expect. They do have good reviews on Yelp so they were 1 of the 2 orthodontist offices that I was considering. It also helped that our dental office referred Burke and Redford. We arrived a little late and checked in electronically. All the employees at the office were so nice and friendly. With the holidays and us just returning from vacation, I didn't get a chance to complete the paperwork online. They were like no problem and just gave me the paper form to fill out. I worked on the paperwork while they took x-rays for my 6 year old. We were being referred because our dentist saw what looks like a tooth growing over an existing tooth. To give context, my kids were over being in the office even before we got there. They wanted to do something they considered more fun with their time. Keeping in mind my kids not wanting to be there. Dr. Redford was super nice and patient. He asked and listened to my concerns. He then reviewed the images with me. My son didn't hold quite still so he wanted to have him do one more image to be completely sure before giving his recommendations for next steps. I thought Dr. Redford was very knowledgeable and professional. While we discussed my concerns and reviewed my 6 year olds images. They didn't waste time and took my 10 year to get his images taken.

I was referred to Ethos Advanced Dental Care by friends and former coworkers after moving to the…read morearea, and I couldn't be more grateful. My hometown dentist had set the bar high, but Ethos has truly exceeded all of my expectations and set a new standard of excellence. When I first started my search, I visited another dentist who quoted me nearly $8,000 for a root canal--even after insurance (Delta Dental). I was in pain, overwhelmed, and desperate for the right care. From the moment I called Ethos, I knew I was in good hands. The receptionists are some of the kindest, most attentive people I've ever met--they listen with care, are incredibly organized, and made sure I was seen right away. At my first appointment, Paige (the hygienist) was wonderful--gentle, thorough, and genuinely kind. The office itself is spotless, modern, and so comfortable. Each room has a TV with headphones, clean cozy blankets, and little touches that make you feel at ease. Dr. Vargas has been an absolute light throughout my entire experience. He is not only highly intelligent and skilled, but also approachable and compassionate. He explained every step of my care plan clearly, always put my best interest first, and made sure I felt heard and comfortable. I needed a couple of root canals (my first ever), and while I was nervous, the process was painless, quick, and seamless. Their referral for an endodontist was also excellent. Back at Ethos, Carlos did an amazing job crafting my temporary crown--it was carefully sculpted, perfectly color-matched, and surprisingly comfortable. My permanent crown was also a perfect fit, and when I needed a minor adjustment afterward, Dr. Vargas immediately got me in and personally followed up to make sure everything felt right. The fact that he even called me after appointments to check in says everything about the level of care here. More recently, I had another cleaning and started their whitening program. The team took into account my teeth sensitivity and took the time to explain the process thoroughly and made sure my whitening trays were precise and comfortable. At that visit I also saw Dr. Sewell, who was so fun, energetic, and personable--he has a fantastic sense of humor and made the whole experience enjoyable. From start to finish, Ethos has gone above and beyond in every aspect of care. Whether you see Dr. Vargas or Dr. Sewell, you will be treated with kindness, expertise, and genuine care. I can't recommend Ethos Advanced Dental Care enough--it's truly the best dental experience I've ever had.
