You're gonna feel some pressure to sign the day of consult. You been warned. Keep shopping the 200$ savings isn't a deal breaker to stay. Is Scheduling easy- Not exactly Are they open Friday- No Open weekend -No Is there more than one location- yes. But not open daily.- this is where I'm upset! We are in our first year of treatment. And we have always had to commute 40 minutes or more when we were living on the mountain. The office does get bent out of shape if you are late. We chose NCO in anticipation of their Scott's Valley office opening. 20 mins from home! Great ...Well That took longer than expected. So yeah, I felt misleaded. Then to find out they don't operate the SV location M-F Because they aren't not open on Friday at either location. We have now moved a little farther away and To make an appointment we are looking at weeks for SV openings that work around school and work schedule. Or now w traffic. Deal w 2 hr round trip commute to Capitola. It's great to see the practice growing, but it's apparent they BIT off more than they can CHEW if they can't operate both facilities. My other complaint is I've never met the Orthodontist working on my child. (My Experiance working w interventional doctors for over a decade. They don't come out to talk because they are on the next patient $$$) They never came out to meet/great me. Not Once! After reading some of his reviews and he seems brash- I hope not- Just do your job correctly! So far my kiddo's smile is looking better. So I have extremely mixed feeling about this business.

My daughter set up an appointment on Oct. 22nd for a consultation at their santa cruz office. Being…read morea new client, they called on Oct 8th, needing more information before the appointment. We never received a reminder call the day before and by the time I got home, it was too late to call them, so I called the day of the appointment. All it did was ring. I tried calling the Aptos office and got a busy signal. I tried three different times, calling both offices with no luck. Since the number they called from was the office in santa cruz I took a chance and headed there. What a surprise we got. Dr. Connolly was no longer at that location and hadn't been for a over a month. I called the aptos office and the receptionist asked how she could help me. I didn't even get ten words out before she suddenly cut me off with, "Hold on," and placed me on hold. When I finally got to speak to her again, her responses were extremely rude and short, like she couldn't be bothered. I explained what happened and that I tried calling the number that came up on our caller id. which was from the santa cruz office. She told me no one called me from that number. I tried to tell her that was the only number that came up and she basically called me a liar. She said that the dr hadn't been at the santa cruz location in over a month so it wasn't possible. When I asked why did the number for that location show up, she told me I was mistaken. I let it slide. When I asked why then the person who called didn't tell us that that location was closed, she ignored the question by asking what I wanted. I asked if I could still bring my daughter in as we drove a half an hour to make the appointment. She replied in a snotty tone, "No. You have to reschedule." Ok. When is your next available time? 3 weeks out at 4pm. To get there I would have to leave the house by 1:45 because of rush hour traffic. When I asked if they had a morning time available, I received a heavy sigh before she said 2:45 or 3:30. I told her, I'll call you back, and hung up on her. This is not how you get new clients. I think their staff needs a refresher course in how to be courteous with customers. If you are that unhappy with what you do, maybe you should find something else. Looks like we will be taking our business over the hill instead of dealing with grumpy, rude employees.

From the very first appointment for my daughter, everything was smooth, informative, and stress-free. The team was transparent and upfront about the full treatment plan and associated costs, which we really appreciated. At every visit, the staff has been exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and professional. They are also responsive and available when it matters most. When a band came loose after hours--just before we were leaving for a three-week trip--Dr. Hulme personally returned my call right away. He coordinated with a team member, Shandy, who met us at the office within the hour to take care of it. That kind of dedication and care is rare and truly appreciated. While orthodontic treatment can be challenging, Dr. Hulme and his team go above and beyond to make the process as easy and comfortable as possible.

I have repeatedly called, emailed, and left…read more voicemails for Dr. Heidari at Creek View Dental in Aptos, CA, requesting my dental records. Despite these efforts, there was no response or assistance from the office. After multiple unanswered attempts to obtain my dental records from Dr. Heidari, it took my mother threatening to involve the dental board for them to respond, and even then, they only sent an invoice for TMJ treatment. My dental notes from Dr. Heidari are critical to moving forward on finding a new Dr. to help me, yet they were never provided. This lack of response makes me feel that I was abandoned as a patient. Dr. Heidari's failure to release my dental records has directly impacted my ability to demonstrate the importance of wearing my TMJ splint to dentists who have dismissed me. the dental records should include Dr. Heidari's notes and 3D imaging of my jaw. Its that simple. It seems as though dr. h just wants patients to spend more money here.

I have learned a lot in the last 7+ months. Mostly that Dr. Heidari should stay in his lane and be a dentist. My experience with my current Prosthodontist has been completely opposite of what Creekview dental offered and what everyone should experience including the right technology and equipment and a kind and caring staff as well as a doctor whose primary focus is on the satisfaction of his patients.
