From the phone assist with Jen, to the front desk to the hygienist, Genevieve to Dr. Gates.. I cannot express enough the absolute professionalism & level of care this establishment has provided! Coming from out of state, I needed urgent dental care. Called around but OnCall Dental kept up with the return calls on helping me book my appt & offering diff payment options due to not having dental insurance. The next morning Jen got me in in 1.5hrs! The office is very clean, had good energy & aura about it. Genevieve is an absolute doll! Very informative, caring, attentive. Dr Gates is a magician! Great bedside manner & very thorough. Talked me thru every step. Tho I needed numbing 3x he & his team calmed me down from my fear of dentists... It's a big fear .. I frequent town often & will now only use this office. I needed other work done, I've already known this.. but due to financial & time constraints, I could only pay for one tooth extraction today. They were not at all pushy & never once did I feel like they were bullying me into buying services. They gave me options which I am looking into & will be working towards! Thanku for the amazing experience & I can't wait to start my dental journey with you guys. And to brag to everyone that it was Dr Gates, Genevieve, Jen & team who made me smile again! read more

I wouldn't have been writing this review but after waiting 2 months for my insurance to activate. Dr. Mirelez no longer excepts medical insurance to help patients with the cost with their dental surgery and transplant procedure. I understand the reason behind canceling but his office could have had the decency to notify all of his patients who were waiting for dental procedures that his office no longer took medical insurance for those services. I've seen Dr. Mirelez on so many commercials or infomercial and the way he talks speaks about being compassion and you would think he would have a little more empathy for patients who can't afford to pay for dental care and need that medical insurance to help pay for their treatment. Sometimes his office staff just needs to work a little bit harder to recover funds from the insurance companies! I cared for my chronically ill wife for 30 years took medical leave from my job for 12 years. That's what true patient care is!!! Now I needed dental care and was waiting for my medical and dental insurance to activate but to be let down by Dr. Mirelez and his office staff! read more

Greedy from the moment you walk in the door they are trying to up sell you something.

Never felt so comfortable in a dentist chair then being in the presence of Dr. Gates and his assistant Michelle! I went in for an emergency tooth removal and it went fantastically. The staff in the front were so welcoming and they got me into a chair within an hour. I highly recommend Mirelez Dental for anyone who has anxiety when going to the dentist because they make you feel at home. Thank you to all and have a Merry Christmas! read more

"Great experience" and "dentist appointment" are not usually two phrases I pair together, but I am honestly INFATUATED with this entire business and everyone who works here. I was impressed with the staff from the moment I called to schedule my first appointment. At this point, I have spoken with every single one of the ladies who work the front desk, and every one of them is cheerful, articulate, and knowledgeable. I have now had x-rays done, a cleaning, even two wisdom teeth removals, and honestly -- each one was a great experience, and I never thought I'd say that about dentistry, haha. The hygienists are sweet and gentle, and the dentist himself has been extraordinary; kind, excellent about explaining things without being condescending, very open and patient with all of my questions, and very attentive to how I was feeling/doing during each procedure. I have not personally encountered Dr. Mirelez (I believe it's Dr. Gates who's been helping me?) but I choose to believe he's great, considering how excellently his business is run, and how incredible his staff is. Took a decade, but I finally found a dentist I LOVE! :D read more

I want to thank these wonderful people for taking care of me this morning!! I had a bad tooth I needed removed and had a bad experience with another dental firm. The staff here are very warm and friendly and put me at ease!! I give them 100 plus stars!! You guys rock!! read more

I wasn't able to experience Dr. Gates work, but he was pleasant, honest, very knowledgeable and I'm sad that I wasn't able to move forward past my deep cleaning. I favored Ms. Lisa due to her light touch and friendly personality, but Both hygienists I would recommend to anyone. The only reason I did not move forward with the remainder of my treatment was because of the billing department. First off, just because you have a PPO insurance, it does not mean you can go anywhere for a good price. Make sure the dental office you go to is in network. I worked in 2 dental offices in the span of 12 years and wrongly assumed other offices would have the same type of direct communication and etiquette I was accustomed to, resulting in me getting a 1600 dollar bill. From my understanding, you submit treatment to the patient's insurance to get preauthorization and THEN call the patient to disclose what they will actually be paying out of pocket BEFORE you make the appointment. This office gave me an estimate, scheduled me while I was under the impression my insurance was going pay a decent chunk, only to get massive bills in the mail after I had already got my treatment done. The last visit I had, front office lady named Jennifer was rather annoyed and told me that they are still "fighting" my insurance in which I told her I was never aware there was even a problem (cause don't billing departments call the insurance to verify what percentages of treatment is covered etc the first day of a patient's visit?) Although Jennifer seems to be one of the main ladies upfront or head of the billing department, Mariana was a sweet heart and I would ask for her if possible. I've been working extremely hard to pay of debt and wouldn't have gone with this office if I would have known way less than half would have been covered. Remember, always call your Insurance to verify what offices are in network, because not all office will be nice enough to give you all the information you need. Make sure to never make an appointment until you get verification of what will be out of pocket and what insurance WILL PAY not ESTIMATED PAY*** also, save all copies of consent forms and EVERY form you sign just in case. Also, this place charges I think 50 dollars or more for not canceling appointments. I called and left a message for a document to be emailed to me AND to cancel my upcoming periomaintenance appointment until my billings issues were resolved. They clearly got my message right away because I was emailed the info I requested within minutes. I went to make my last payment recently and double checked to make sure my appointment was canceled, and it wasn't. Be careful!!! Great providers, blurry billing department. ​​​​ read more

*TLDR: told me no charge over phone, got an x-ray, paid $110 for it and getting a refund for a cleaning I was charged for and didn't get. Amy was super nice. I really really wanted to love this place. I made an appointment after not seeing the dentist for quite some time. I called and the person who answered was very responsive, super nice and attentive. Gave her my insurance and she told me she'd call me back with my estimated pay out. When she called she said my insurance would cover everything and I should be good to go. Fast forward to the day of my appointment. They kept calling me asking if I could go in sooner than the time I scheduled. I specifically scheduled at 2:30 since I had an eye appointment at 1 so I told them no. Then I get another call and they asked if I could come in early and I said no again. She starts to tell me my appointment is at 2 not 2:30 but I clearly have a text and email saying 2:30 so I was confused but told her I could try to come in earlier. It's about 1:30 and I get a text saying they'll see me at my appointment at 3? Now I'm confused again. I get to the office around 2:20 and they tell me it was just a mix up. Eventually I get called to the back and Amy was insanely nice. I really enjoyed her presence and she made me comfortable. Got a check up and x-rays and they told me they didn't have time to clean my teeth that day (Amy scraped a bit off my teeth and told me I wouldn't get charged). Then they said someone will talk to me about my charges. Charges? I thought it was gonna be free, plus all I got was an x-ray. She brings me to the back and I had to pay $160 (that's with my "discount" of 50% off and a comped check up which was normally $79). I told her someone else told me my insurance would cover it all and she said they were wrong and that they weren't PPO. The girl was just confused. They also charged me for a cleaning which I didn't realize til now. Just called for a refund which they are processing. Overall I'm really disappointed in my experience. There was lot of miscommunication between everyone there. I basically paid $110 for an x-ray, if someone would've told me I'd be paying that I'd probably say no and make my way out. I guess I should've made sure they were actually PPO and not believed the workers there. Now I'm out money and time. *The star is for Amy and the Dr who helped me since they were both very nice. read more

I was originally very pleased with this office. I had an emergency dental issue on a Sunday and this office took my insurance and saw me same-day. The dentist I saw was very kind, and very attentive. Turns out I had a damaged root canal that needed to be pulled ASAP. I booked the appointment and got in the next week. Everything was going well. They went over my paperwork with me in detail and prescribed my pain meds easily. I came in the morning of the extraction and was greeted warmly. They even gave me a blanket. I was basically sedated which is what I wanted. The extraction went well and this were great. They followed up with me and I even scheduled a dental exam there. I went to the dental exam and had 6 cavities. I asked for a price breakdown because, even with insurance, they wanted to charge me a little over $2,100. I had requested the itemized treatment plan, which I received. I also requested my full set of x-rays that my insurance only approves once every three years. They would NOT give me my x-rays. I requested my full set of x-rays via email on: 3-22-2021 3-24-2021 3-29-2021 4-15-2021 4-22-2021 5-4-2021 I received no response from them and never received them. It was a pressing issue because my insurance was ending and I needed those x-rays to have a "current" set as I no longer have insurance and cannot afford to pay out of pocket for an entire new set. To this day, 9-15-2021, I have not received any communication and all my emails went unanswered. I was never reached out to. Very disappointing experience after starting off so well. read more

My goodness this place is simply amazing. The women at the front desk were patient, educational and patient as I may have been one of their more touchy patients. Christopher my dentist was the peak of the experience, I was extremely worried and after speaking with him it was as if my dad was the dentist. Him and everyone I talked to that day I have no complaints. I'm utterly grateful. read more

I just thought I'd leave my review for others. I've always had trouble with dentist offices with scheduling, dental work etc. but this office here is sooo amazing!! If I have an emergency dental issue they are so quick to get me in and extremely professional & nice. They literally take my worries away because I know they will be able to take care of me. Thank you so much for everything you guys do !! read more

My daughter had rebroken her front tooth. We were leaving the next day on a Disney trip. I was worried we would not find someone to fix it right away. Fortunately we called Mirelez Wellness. They were so friendly and the doctor fixed her tooth the very same day. Much appreciated. read more

After being a patient there for many years , they decided to sue me for 300$ from my bill . During the COVID pandemic. The billing and management communication is simply horrible. Everytime i had come and had wrk done , I stop to pay but was met often with "pay later after we bill your 3 insurances " it was the same statement everytime . Then during the pandemic they started to say i was trying not to pay my bill , then demanding to pay my bill. CoVID hit our household and finances but they didn't care . Honestly ,how in the heck have I been a 10yr pt and have this problem now . Its very disappointing.... Management n billing . .. chaos. To avoid any drama rudeness from staff look elsewhere!! read more

I was NOT told I would be out-of-network until after my visit, which caused them to bill at full UCR prices. Even with my PPO secondary coverage they still billed me for over $200 just for preventative work. There is no reason to charge someone with 2 PPO insurances over $200. I wanted to follow my doctor to this office but the staff should have informed me of being out-of-network when I scheduled my appointment 3 months in advance or even when I confirmed my appointment or at least upon arrival. I'll be filling a grievance with my dental plan. read more

If I could give a negative I would. The doctor is decent his staff are a bunch of commission chasers. They willing lie to get you to buy those 'wellness plan'. He charges you $10,000 for a snap on smile. When it is not seated correctly they want to change $100. That's when they go for the sales pitch . If you pay $400 it covers you for a year. These are time share ladies. That's where you usually see these tatics. Find another doctor to treat you unless you have money to give away to pay for the Porsche and other luxury cars. Paying for treatment makes sense. Not taking care of the service you provide is criminal! I'll be going to the bbb page and the state board to seek care! read more

I had a trauma to my front teeth years ago which left my smile looking less than optimal. The teeth were suboptimally repaired by another dentist but I always wanted a better looking smile. Later in my years, I had to get a root canal and subsequent apicoectomy, then finally told I need an implant on tooth #8 (right smack in the middle of my upper teeth!). I was so upset about it, but then I met Dr. Mirelez and his staff who put my mind at ease and created a miracle. They stood by me every step of the way and to top it off, my smile was beautiful! One of his dental assistants even came in on a holiday to fix my semi-permanent prior to placing the implant. This procedure was done a couple years ago. I recently had some issues with my dental implant (to no fault of Dr. Mirelez) and now live in San Diego, CA. I contacted him and he has been so helpful in guiding me step-by-step on how to correct this issue. I don't trust anyone else but him when it comes to my dental implant. I can't say enough good things about him and his staff! read more

Made the switch from my other dentist to Mirelez and let me tell ya....huge difference! I was very impressed on how professional the whole staff is and how knowledgeable they are with information about your visit. The staff a makes you feel right at home and as if I've been going there for years. It was like a full blown working operation in there! They communicate with each other really well as they work on you and make sure you're completely comfy as the procedure takes place. Getting the clear correct trays in next few visits so pretty excited about that. So glad I made the switch to Mirelez and I'm really looking forward to my next visit! Update.... these guys are the still the best! Always enjoy coming and getting work done. Dr is always super friendly and willing to fit you in their busy schedule to make your schedule work. Staff is top notch! They make you feel at home. read more

I went to Dr Mirelez when my dentist retired, and my implants began to fail. I have full dentures with implant anchors. Dr Mirelez was friendly, very polished in his consultation, assuring me he would improve my smile. I paid a little over 31,000.During surgery, there was interruptions and pain. I experienced a lot of pain at different times in his office. From the beginning, my new implants and dentures were a problem. Lack of retention, teeth breaking, had me in his office often. He adjusted, changed out the implants, cut tissue, all the time blaming me. A hard bite, mis alignment, all leading to more money. I think the worst, he changed my teeth, making my new teeth smaller and pushed further back. The truth, he aged me 10 years almost overnight. My family and close friends were horrified. My signature big smile was gone. I am now under the care of another dentist, and it will cost me $$$$ to undo the damage Dr Mirelez did. please do NOT trust this dentist. I'm sorry I did.

Started my journey with this awesome Dentist and his staff. Have many hours to go to get to the final destination of having my smile back. Kind and gentle , nonjudgmental make the journey that much easier. Thankful for finding Dr Mirelez Laurie S. I've been seeing Dr Mirelez for a few months now , he's a very popular Dentist Getting into see him initially takes a while kind of like getting an audience with the Pope. That being said the miracles that are happening with my smile have begun !! Can't wait to the finished product Laurie Sloan, Had an appointment here yesterday! My new smile is one appointment away. I like this Dentist and staff so much that I mistakenly went to my appointment a day early !!! Never in my life have I gone to the dentist by mistake :) No more fear or feeling ashamed of my teeth , like going to visit friends who happen to be the best Dental team around . read more

Highly suggest going to a different dentist. 1 Wisdom tooth extraction turned into a 1.5hour procedure of digging and probing my gums. I was recommended to take Advil and Tylenol together for the pain. Was not prescribed any pain medication for after the major surgery? During the healing process I developed dry socket. I called the emergency number I was given and told the doctor about the pain I was in. It was so bad and so painful I was sweating. The doctor did not believe I was experiencing dry socket symptoms and only prescribed pain 2 days worth of medication when I called her crying. I told her I wanted somebody to take a look at my tooth the next day because I didn't think the pain level was normal and was told to that the doctor would call me back to schedule a time for me to come back on a day that she was working so she could see it for herself. I was never called back. After the medication ran out I went back to get the recommended refill and had to clear it with the doctor who not so subtly suggested that I was abusing the medication. Y'all. It was a low dosage of pain meds?? I ended up going to another dental office who within 10 minutes told me I definitely did have dry socket and that it needed to have been taken care of immediately. THEN I received an additional bill for a billing error that THEY made. When I brought up the fact that it was their mistake and that I had already paid the entire cost before the procedure took place I was told I still had to pay the difference. The only semi nice thing I can say about this place is that the office staff weren't rude. Overall a terrible experience. read more

This was by far the BEST EXPERIENCE I have ever had at a dentist! The staff were all so kind & Dr. Mirelez was AMAZING! He not only addressed my basic dental needs but also helped me with a plan to give me the beautiful smile I only dreamed of. Dr. Mirelez LISTENED to what issues were a priority to me. I felt supported in my options NOT PUSHED into doing something I was not comfortable with. I'm happy to say that I am no longer afraid to go to the dentist!!! read more

I love this place! It's very clean and pretty. Staff all very nice and helpful! Just had my upper wisdom teeth removed and barely felt it! I like that they had new technology for X-rays, very nice that they didn't have to put anything in my mouth to take the X-ray. I really appreciate how down to earth my doctor was he was nice and explained everything that was going to happen. read more

Went in for pain in my tooth.. was taken care of immediately the staff was awesome very professional.. I definitely will be back hopefully a permanent dentist. Thank you read more

Dr. Mirelez is wonderful, but his office staff is horrible to deal with on the financial side. They can't seem to get it straight on what is owed. I have never been treated so poorly. read more

I went in with a toothache and waited forever to get in. I heard the front office staff talking about something highly inappropriate. The financial people gave me a quote, but at the end of he appointment they told me they made a mistake. I asked to talk to the Dr but the office manager Stella came out. She was very curt and snippy and totally unhelpful to me. The Dr for was nice enough, but my tooth later hurt. They looked at it again bit they told me nothing was wrong. I went to another dentist finally and they treated my tooth. I had had a crack that was missed. They put on a crown and it was better. Oh yes. I had my teeth cleaned here before my dental work one time and the hygienist was rough. These people are not nice and the work wasn't good either. read more

I'm in from out of town, all I needed was composite material placed on a temporary crown that was already in my mouth, because it was loose. I have an appt. w/ my dentist in 2-wks for implant impression. I had to pay $99. just to be seen, than they were gonna charge me another $200. It wasn't a prep, what the heck. I'm in the dental lab business, and this is a rip-off and over-charge. I left, totally dismayed! I just left Dr. Scott Janzen's office, what a pleasure!!! Took care of me, and charged $94.00. What a huge difference in patient care. Don't bother w/ this group, they are only about the ca-ching. I guess your paying for the Dentist's life-style. On top of that they were trying to sell me other options that were unnecessary. They are not the only dentists in Fresno that do implants and cosmetic restorations. Shop around for better patient care. No referrals from me. read more

By far the best dental office! Every visit is pleasant and the staff is very helpful and friendly.

I was referred here when I cracked and old filling and needed a crown. That turned out well enough. After getting treatments for fillings, I feel that I am worse off. I have had cracks and pieces of my teeth fall out from simple fillings. I have returned many times to have them adjusted and repaired and I'm still left with an improper bite, pain, and the feeling that my teeth aren't right. Very unfortunate. Everyone who works here is very nice. But I have lost faith in their ability. They have said come back, but I have made about 4 visits for the same issue already. Time for a new dentist. read more

Thanks to more than one negative experience in the chair over the years, and some shady behavior and less than effective treatment at my previous office, I do NOT like going to the dentist. However, some severe pain from a broken tooth made it necessary to suck it up and submit to the drill once again. I found Mirelez Wellness Dental here on Yelp and left a message. They called me back first thing next business day and got me right in. I'm one of those white knuckle patients who starts to sweat and hyperventilate the minute I get in the chair, but everyone at this office is so kind that my anxiety was somewhat alleviated right off. When the doctor came in, he listened carefully to my concerns, reassured me that my comfort came first and foremost, and didn't make me feel embarrassed at all about being so nervous. Long story short, I got quite a bit of work done right off without ever wanting to jump up and flee because I felt very safe in his hands. I sure wish I'd discovered this place when I first moved here and now that I have, you couldn't get me to go anywhere else. I know I'll always have some anxiety but I also know I'm in good hands here. I'm actually looking forward to going back and getting things sorted out with my teeth once and for all. I haven't felt this good about a dentist in over a decade now so I'm feeling a great deal of relief at this point. If you're looking for a new dentist, especially if you're afraid of dentists, don't hesitate to call this place and make an appointment. You won't regret it. read more

If you remember the tv show "cheers" I feel like Norm when I enter. Everyone knows your name and most importantly - they address you by name. I feel like I am amongst friends when I am there. They are by far the best dentist office and more in Fresno. It is clear that everyone cares about the patients and loves their jobs. read more

I cannot say enough great things about this office! First of all, we are in an unusual situation with Covid-19. I called in this morning and the girls that answered my call were so compassionate. They could hear the pain in my voice and the need for an emergency appointment. Although they were full today, they went above and beyond to get me in. The office is so safe - only allowing one patient at a time in the waiting room. (Thanks for following guidelines.) it is clean, every employee was so friendly and helpful. Dr Nguyen was excellent as well as his assistant. I felt like I was a person today, they actually cared. Dr was very thorough, gentle and explained in great detail the entire process. I seriously cannot say enough great things about this office. I will be returning and plan to continue my regular care with them because of how they handled my situation today. Thank you all, again, for your care and support today. read more

Very thorough cleaning and exam. However, it is EXTREMELY expensive and they don't bill you what your insurance doesn't cover until months afterwards. They also give false estimates about what your insurance will cover. The estimate has never been even close to accurate for any of my visits and once I got a bill in the mail almost a year later. No longer go here and would never recommend. read more

I came Dr Morales with some serious Dental concerns. After reviewing my case he looked at me and told me "I can help you". Hearing those words was a relief. True to his word he did, I now have a smile that I'm not ashamed of. I am constantly getting compliments on what a perfect smile I have. In my opinion Dr. Morales is the dental artist, a true perfectionist. His office is not like other Dental facilities his office is warm and his staff is friendly and compassionate. Dr. Morales and his staff want you to feel comfortable and relaxed and to me they have always made me feel welcome relaxed and quite comfortable with all the procedures that I've had read more

Excellent service from the staff all the time, I never waited long time with my appointments, and if ever they need you to come in early or something need to be changed, they will give you heads up in advance, Dr Mirelez very professional and always making sure that you get the best care. Just got my dental implants and result is beyond my expectations, thank you for giving my smile back read more

From the time you walk into the office to the time you see your hygienist you feel very welcomed and you were treated very professionally . The reception room is welcoming with magazines to read and there is an area where you can make tea, coffee or have water while you wait. The hygienist Amy was very nice and did a great job cleaning my teeth. She was personable and competent. I enjoyed my visit to the dentist office. I would recommend visiting Dr Mirelez and his team. You will be well taken care of. read more

I just moved to Fresno and needed a new Dentist. My husband has been with Dr Mirelez for years. This is by far the best dental office I have ever been to. Every aspect of this place is amazing. The staff are consistently friendly and professional. The office in general has a calm, relaxing vibe. They make the treatment as comfortable for the patient as possible. I went in today to get some fillings. They constantly made sure I was ok throughout the appointment. I could stop and take a break without feeling like I was annoying them. They stop and take time to answer my questions and explain what's happening with my teeth. I highly recommend Mirelez Wellness Dental to everyone and anyone. They are incredible! read more

Had such a great experience at Mirelez Wellness. Every staff member was extremely pleasant to work. You can tell they actually care about the health and input of their patient. I highly recommend checking them out! read more

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. This would have been a FIVE star because the treatment I received was the BEST! Dr Mirelez has the best staff! Compassionate is an understatement here. Unfortunately, they were dishonest about payment. This is not a first for me and that is why I specifically asked before treatment about my Insurance. Prior to the treatment I was called into a room and shown that my treatment would cost $2000. And then below it showed Insurance paying ALL $2000. I even said to the lady showing me this how thankful I am for Insurance! Why would a dentist do treatment on a patient knowing they are not a member of our Insurance? There are NO doctors that do this! When you present your Insurance card at a medical office they know if they accept the insurance or not. Our family is very hurt by this deception. Jennifer Monge read more

Been a patient here for years, until recently. I questioned their high charges they quoted me for an implant that is needed and called my insurance with my concerns. I discovered Dr. Mirelez's office isn't PPO which is why their fees are so high, even for routine/preventative care. This explains why they always pushed extra services down my throat which weren't necessary and why co-pays were so high. It makes me so angry now. And the office manager (although she is nice) tries to play with numbers which appears to be their way of "getting the most out of your benefits" so that it can seem affordable, but really it's just a way for them to make it easier for you to pay their high fees by splitting up the cost. It reminds me of a car dealership here. Same sales tactics and pressure. While a patient, the staff was fairly nice and responsive. But once I told them I'd be switching dentists they became difficult. They tried scaring me into not switching by telling me I'd lose some of my benefits by visiting another dentist and should I want to come back to them the implant would cost more out of pocket. Well I don't plan on going back, I've found a good quality dentist well know for his work, he is PPO, and the implant is at a 1/3 of the cost Dr. Mirelez was going to charge. I'm glad I made the decision to switch. I won't recommend this office to anyone. read more

I will start off saying I like Dr. Mirelez. His office manager Stella is awful!! The office staff is rude. I will not go back to this place because of how rude the staff is. And all the other bad reviews are right. They are money hungry & treat you poorly. I have received several calls to schedule my regular cleaning. I haven't been there in a year, and I was a loyal patient prior. Get the hint. I will not be back. read more
