    I would give Modjeski a perfect 5 stars if it was not what happened on my last appointment about 15…read moreyears ago. It was the last check up when my braces were removed. He wanted to file down the tips of my two front teeth. I thought he would use a ruler to measure to get it even but he just eyeballed it. I now have one tooth a slight shorter than the other. At the time, he told me that eventually they would even out...humm....yah...right. He is a wonderful orthodontist but this was a quick procedure that I think was not considered thoroughly by him. I came originally to get braces for a more even mouth after all. He could have been more exact but instead brushed over my concern and now my two front teeth are uneven. I see this every time I look in the mirror and will continue to for the rest of my life....sigh. My family did pay in advance for the braces so it would have been appreciated if he would have been more thorough at the end.

    Before Dr Modjeski I had extreme anxiety when it came to visiting a dentist office. I was beyond…read morenervous to start the process for adult orthodontics. However, from my first appointment with their office, to post follow-up appointments, I've received the best care and was made to feel comfortable the whole time. The staff is super friendly and understanding and Dr. modjeski always has my best interest at heart. We set a game plan and followed our plan until my teeth were perfect for me. He was invested in my teeth and my smile and wouldn't let anything stop us from our goal. I'm grateful for the level of care I received and thankful I chose the right dr for this process. I would recommend dr modjeski yo any person or family, young or old, looking to fix their smile

    I lost a tooth after trusting a dentist at Dental Concepts, whom I originally thought was the…read morenicest one there. I initially went in for a second opinion because my former dentist told me a root canal needed to be redone. However, this dentist told me it wasn't necessary, so I stayed with him. Shortly after, he even cleared me to get braces. Four years ago, another dentist at the same office saw me and confirmed that the same root canal did need to be done. Because he was my primary dentist, I had to wait to see him for the final word. When I finally did, he said I was fine. I saw him again this past January, and he told me everything looked good. However, the hygienist I saw in March pointed out that the tooth needed to be fixed, noting it had already been flagged by the other doctor four years prior.They finally scheduled an appointment for him to do the root canal, but when I arrived, he told me I now need an implant. For years he told me I was fine, and then suddenly I need an implant. He completely failed to keep me informed about what was actually happening with my teeth. I am incredibly disappointed in him, and I feel deeply saddened by how this was handled. I trusted him completely, and it hurts to know that my tooth could have been saved if he had just listened to his colleagues and properly monitored my care. The office manager told me that writing a bad review wouldn't make me feel any better. However, I am writing this so that others don't have to go through the same painful experience.

The excellent comprehensive care I receive from Dr. Zernicke and his team keeps me returning year after year despite the distance. I especially like that all the dental specialties are in one practice. This greatly simplifies scheduling, billing, and care coordination. If you live anywhere near Salinas California go to Dental Concepts for all of your dental care.

    At first, I thought, " Wow Smiles!? What does that even mean? Lol." When I entered the facility, I…read morediscovered something in this office that has been lost in many businesses. Human kindness and compassion. I was not just one more business deposit or a number in their charts. I was a human with a heart, thoughts, and a life that mattered. Every time I enter their office, I am greeted with a smile, they remember who I am, and show genuine care. In their online client portal, each patient has a chart it asks questions like what your favorite hobby or color. They care to know more than just business and braces. I wish more companies and organizations worked like this. Their philosophy is that everyone should have an equal opportunity at a beautiful smile, and so they do not require a deposit and their monthly payments are as low as $130 per month. I had only dreamed of having braces in the past because it was too expensive and living in Santa Cruz County is too expensive even with a college degree, plus I am a single parent. Because their prices were affordable and there was no down deposit, I was able to get braces for me and my daughter who is in middle school. We both went in for an evaluation on the same day and got braces together. Our self-confidence has increased when it comes to smiling brightly. I see my daughter smiling more often and now I know why. P.S the staff is very funny as well. :)
