    I had a cracked tooth and Dr Vaca saw me right away. He made my experience easy and made me feel very comfortable.

    I cannot begin to tell you how insensitive they are there. I explained over and over I did not have…read moreto any money to pay for anything my insurance did dot cover. I printed out my insurance info stating they covered extractions with no co-pay and they said it would still be another $500. They wanted to take more x-rays and ignored me over and over when I said I only wanted a tooth that hurt pulled and had no money for anything else. I had over $1,000 coverage on my insurance which would have covered one extraction, but they refused to do it without an extra $500. It's humiliating to repeat a half a dozen times I did not have it. They are simply just set up to milk insurance companies and don't care at all for people with limited funds. Michelle treated me like I was stupid would not shut up and ended up hanging up on me. They insisted in taking more xrays saying the insurance would cover those. I told Michelle I couldn't pay for any treatment, so what's the point? They (the doctor) are clearly concerned only with milking the insurance companies. Meanwhile my tooth still hurts.

They say certain things aren't covered by insurance and make you pay hundreds of dollars out of pocket when this should NOT be the case. They made me take X-rays I did not need, wouldn't show me the results, didn't do a basic cleaning, and told me I had 8 cavities. I got a second opinion and found out I had ZERO!!!! Long story short, DONT GO HERE.

Last year we decided to find a local dentist so we didn't have to travel for treatment anymore. We looked up dentists in SLO County who accepted our insurance and Dr. Perez popped up. He was only 5 minutes from our house and his reviews were great! We decided to try him and boy is he great! He and his staff are knowledgeable, efficient and caring and Dr. Perez uses the latest technology. He is soooo much better than the dentists we had in Ventura and Santa Barbara! We are so happy we found him! Give him a try, you will be happy you did!

When scheduling (the earliest appt…read morea month away), I was told to put down 50% of the projected charge of service otherwise I couldn't set the appt. I didn't understand why since they were in network on my PPO dental plan. I did it but since this didn't seem right, I called my ins co who agreed they shouldn't do that. After mentioning the call they did refund my money and they were ultimately paid appropriately by my ins co. I felt that was crooked. However, the worst part, during the procedure, I was experiencing a lot of pain while he drilled requiring stopping him for repeated injections of numbing meds. Then during a very long time of drilling, Raul Perez fractured my tooth!!!! It also occurred to me, after the fact, that he was drilling a tooth with a previous mercury filing and didn't perform any of the necessary precautions when removing mercury. This was awful!! I do not recommend this dentist!

    I went to Dr. Lee for 3 years after moving to Central Coast, and he never told me I needed work…read moreduring my 6 month cleanings, and then at the last appointment, he told me I needed a crown. The temporary broke off, and when I called the emergency number, I didn't get a call back. Later his assistant told me it was her cell phone, which doesn't explain why they didn't call me back after hours. I let it go, and I got my permanent crown. It broke after 3 months, and once again, no one returned my emergency after hours call (which I personally told them was an issue 3 months earlier, so they knew about it and chose not to fix the problem). I drove to their office and found a HANDWRITTEN note on the door changing the hours (the phonemail was not updated), so I called around and got another dentist to see me. That was when I found out much, more more. I had 6 cavities and needed 4 crowns! 2 of my teeth were badly cracked, and in 3 YEARS Dr. Lee said nothing about it. Not only that, the reason the tooth broke off is he neglected to build it up (which is what the new dentist had to do for me because the teeth are worn) and he didn't seal it properly, so it had decay that had to be removed before they could give me a new crown, so the new dentist couldn't even just put it back on. Apparently Dr. Lee didn't have the equipment/machines/technology necessary to know about these things OR he didn't inform me. Either way, it was gross negligence. The office manager offered to talk to them for me and suggested I request a refund, but I knew better. TWICE the staff told me their "credit card machine was broken" to get me to pay in cash, and when I told them you don't even need a machine; you can accept credit cards online -- they just said it was working! Two different times months apart, so obviously something was wrong there. I did talk to his assistant, and my husband told Dr. lee how upset I was. I asked the assistant to call the office manager at the other dentist, but neither one of them ever followed up. I just decided never to go back, so that's why I'm documenting this so others will know what to expect. If that's not enough, I also have gum disease! I didn't have this when I moved to Central Coast (I went to a great dentist back home), but the hygienist at the new place told me some dentists don't know much about gum disease, so I had to get what they call a "deep cleaning" that cost $1800, AND I now may have to go back every 3 months to get cleanings. They will give me another cleaning this week to decide whether or not I have to. This cost my $8000 in new charges and $1800 for the replacement crown from scratch with the decay clean and the build up of the tooth, so nearly $10k to fix the situation! (It's taken me 2.5 months to get all these work done, which has been highly inconvenient, time consuming, and COSTLY, painful and unnecessary if he had just told me when these issues were small before they became BIG problems). IF YOU CHOOSE THE WRONG DENTIST, THERE ARE HUGE CONSEQUENCES. Don't make the same mistake I did!

    I've decided to find a new provider after my cleaning here. The hygienist was highly unprofessional…read moreand lacked good bed side manners. She would cough into her arm while cleaning my teeth and shared way too much personal information. I was forced to listen to her chatter for nearly an hour while also worrying whether I'd catch an illness. When I requested my patent file be sent to a different provider, I was met with resistance. Receptionist told me it would take 3 weeks (I literally had been a patient for 6 months- how long does it take to copy my 3 pg file?). Since that wasn't acceptable, I was told I had to pick up the file in person and pay $25. The hours of business are more limited than my work day and so this office made things extra difficult for me by refusing to send my file to another dentist in a timely fashion. I also felt the copying fee was not appropriate given the fact that my file was a skimpy couple of pages. It's unfortunate I had to leave because I feel that Dr. Lee is a good dentist. However, I feel he needs better trained staff. ---- My husband and I both have had positive experiences with Doctor Lee. Both of us had cleanings and minor cavity fillings done. Dr. Lee is friendly and down to earth. So much so that he didn't mind doing my cleaning when the hygienist wasn't available that day. The office interior is simple but I don't go to the dentist for interior decoration inspiration. This office is able to accommodate my busy schedule and I appreciate that. They even advertise that they can take walk ins. My only suggestion for improvement is for receptionist staff to follow through when they say they will do something. I've had to call time and time again with the same request.
