I have been a patient of P & E Dental for years. I used to live close to their office, but even after I moved farther out I stayed with them. They have made sure that all of my dental needs are taken care of. They are very accommodating and professional! I highly recommend them! read more

Absolutely recommend! Been coming in for more than 10 years and very happy with the dental consultations and treatment that we have received..Yateen read more

P+E Dental - Many of awards that are displayed as you enter the office.. - General Dentistry Near Me - Houston, Texas

A routine filling gone wrong caused me hundreds of dollars on xrays, endonontists, repair work. It was never brought up that there would be risks of having to get root canals on BOTH molars that Dr E worked on. After close evaluation from 4 other dentists, a filling was not even necessary. I complained about pain and the only response was to send me to an endodontist, no interest in repairing or progress. All their reviews are fake, they offer a chance to win a laptop if you rate them and show them. STAY AWAY read more

At P+E the level of care is phenomenal! Dr Paluk and Echeverría are fantastic and their staff are also friendly. I look forward every 6 months to see everyone's friendly faces for my cleanings and any time I need other dental work. The best quality, service, and bed side manner far none. I love that they have technology in-house so no more waiting for crowns for days/weeks, it is all fabricated same day and I get to go home with a brand new crown custom fit! My family and I have been patients at P+E for over 10 yrs and we are delighted with all the experience! read more

Temped at this Galleria office earlier this year as a hygienist. Was contracted one hour lunch but the schedule did not have any lunch break scheduled for me. I only took 30 minutes and they did not pay me for the other 30 minutes. They will work your butt off then not pay you for the time you worked. If someone worked the time, you need to pay them. This was not free labor. Do not recommend going to a dentist when they over book the hygienist and expects you to complete quality cleanings in 30 minutes. Full mouth deep cleaning in 1 hour without any local anesthesia..yikes. Dr. E. is ignoring my messages and avoiding my phone calls.. hmm, very professional.... Stay away! read more

Everyone was was fantastic right from the very start to the very end! Mary was superb and obtained my information quickly and accurately. Building was nice and the office view, ohhh my! Besides the awesomeness of the entire team, the Hygienist & Dr. made me feel at ease and did an an excellent job with my teeth cleaning! Expectations were met and exceeded. Where can I place my 6th star? read more

Dr. E and her staff are amazing! Shelly is a rockstar and Cassandra is always so welcoming and nice. They are the best team, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my perio cleaning. Dr. E even fixed my chipped tooth and made it as easy as possible. 5/5 highly recommended! read more

they really take care of you and the stories of dentists of old are certainly not here. they listen and make it really comfortable

The office setting was very relaxing. As soon as you walk in, the staff makes you feel welcome. Dr. E and her hygienist, Houng, explained everything thoroughly and they made sure to only include costs that was necessary for my visit. read more

I recently had an emergency dental issue and P+E Dental was able to quickly accommodate me and take care of the problem. I recommend P+E Dental because their office is really professional, their staff is very courteous and skilled at their jobs. Dr. Echeverria was very careful to explain all the steps in the treatment that I needed to get done and made me feel comfortable that she will do a great job. read more

I use to like coming here until they wanted to charge me $20 for THEIR OWN PPE! Ha!!! Months later I was told that would not do that but at the end of my appt they were charging me $20! The receptionist said it was for a procedure I had done the last visit (mind you I paid $200) but I had already paid that. She was dumb and couldn't give me an itemized receipt. Will never come back again. Money hungryyyyy read more

I had a great experience here. I was surprised to read some of the negative reviews because my experience was the exact opposite. -they did not pressure me into a deep clean (in fact they told me that a previous dentist's diagnosis for this was unnecessary) -they used 6 mo old x-rays from another dentists office -they were very up-front about costs before any procedures -All the staff was professional and kind, and I thought the young woman at the front desk was above-and-beyond hospitable -Dr. Echeverria was very knowledgeable and fixed a tooth that has been getting food stuck for 8 years. I've tried to have that tooth fixed 4x! not kidding--4x! I was prepared to live with it, but Dr. Echeverria worked some magic and now it doesn't bother me at all! All in all, I trust Dr. Echeverria's knowledge and skills. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Everything that glitters isn't gold. I made an appointment for a regular cleaning with this location because it was convenient and in my network. The receptionist informed me that my insurance covered my examination/regular cleaning and I was good to go. I arrived and the ladies were nice enough. They give you a cute tour of where they'll be scamming you. I was a little uneasy about the X-ray girl. She seemed to be in training and had to take pictures more than once with someone hovering and coaching her over her shoulder. After about an hour and a half of poking and taking pictures they sent the receptionist in to up-sell me for a deep clean of $800! She then informed me that my insurance would only cover a portion, meaning I would have to come out of pocket for $471! Obviously, I declined; because they had informed me that I was covered for a regular cleaning. The ditzy receptionist then began to compare a deep cleaning/ regular cleaning to painting a wall and building a foundation of a home.......I kid you not. lol. She sounded like a complete idiot and I made sure to to let her know. She then proceeded to say that because I declined the deep clean that the doctor would not be able to do my regular scheduled cleaning. And that it would be considered "NEGELECT" on her end; to which she did not want to be held responsible for. I then asked if she had some sort of waiver I could sign stating other wiser (Like they do at the eye doctor when you opt out of having your eyes dilated) ..this apparently caught her off guard and she went to ask the doctor. Of course the doctor decline because she was a adamant on getting me to pay for this deep cleaning out of pocket. I was so over listening to them babble a bunch of bullshit that I just grabbed my stuff and left. They basically lure you in with lies to get your insurance to pay for the examination fees before springing a bunch of other fees on you. DO NOT BOOK HERE! read more

The staff is super nice and friendly here and Dr. Echeverria makes going to the dentist not quite as dreadful as normal! . As someone with sensitive gums, it's so helpful to go to a dentist that has the knowledge and skill to take care of regular checkups and any needed treatments in the same place! read more

UPDATE (May 2014): My insurance told me they are now further investigating the prices P+E Dental is charging their patients. The case is now pending review with the insurance company, and my insurance advocates have told me they are suspicious of how they are billing insurance patients, along with how much. Please don't make the same mistake I did. ORIGNAL: It's all good... until you need something important done that costs money. Then they'll keep it. And your insurance's too. If they actually file the claim properly. P+E Dental was on my insurance company's list of dentists and I confirmed needed a surgical procedure done. Despite being an "in-network provider," they asked me to pay up front. I did, because I hadn't ever needed serious dental work done. They assured me I was going to get my money back and they would file immediately with my dental and health insurance. This was five months ago. My dental insurance sent me a letter saying P+E had agreed not to bill me (in the explanation of benefits) for the difference between the price my insurance requested for the surgery, and what the denist charged me, meaning I should have gotten 80% of my money back. When I brought this up to the dentist (yes actual dentist) in person, she tried to give me the run-around about "specialist fees." I was told by the dental insurance company I use, this is no such thing. They should have refunded me, bottom line, after they paid. Not only have they not refunded my money, they charged me twice for the same procedure. I didn't get the 80% back, or the extra (huge) charge for the SAME PROCEDURE. The difference is four digits. I have been on the phone multiple times and for an hour each time with my insurance advocate assistance (if you work for a company large enough to have one, PLEASE use them) and despite their efforts, and the insurance company's, I still have gotten nowhere. You want to know why they have all that fancy equipment and the nice office? There you have it. It's been five months. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it's been long enough. read more

AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE UNLESS YOU LIKE MONEY BEING STOLEN FROM YOU... THIS PLACE IS SHADY! Here's my story of how I will never EVER go back (or recommend anyone) to P+E dental again: I feel like they flat out stole money from me. I rarely ever write bad reviews on this site because I like to promote businesses that are great to their customers. Unfortunately, P+E Dental is not one of them. They were able to see me the same day which was nice, and I asked if I could just talk with the dentist first about a minor mouth condition I was having. When I got there they told me I had to pay up front (well over $100 for the "exam"). I did so thinking I would receive some sort of service for what I just paid. They called me into one of the back rooms, and about 10 mins later the dentist arrives. I told him about a condition I was having. Despite having unprofessional bedside manners, he told me to open my mouth, hold out my tongue. Looked in for maybe 15 seconds, and said "I don't know. I really don't. Let me refer you to this person." I kid you not, he gets out a scrap piece of paper and writes down the last name of the DEAN of UH medicine and said I need to talk to her. I said, "Oh great does she practice in Houston?" He said no, she doesn't practice. (Then why did you just refer me to her????) He then says, sorry I can't help you any further. And that was it. I said, "uh okay, am I still paying for this visit? Nothing was actually done..." He then uttered something in a foreign language, smiled and walked off. It was very slimy the way he treated me at that moment. I talked to the receptionist and asked if I was being billed for this visit since it was maybe 15 seconds and she said yes. I said so I am paying $109 for the dentist to say he doesn't know??? And she said, yes, your insurance will maybe cover some of it. I was in shock. I was totally taken advantage of. The dentist said "I don't know" after 15 seconds of looking and then happily took my $100+ ... You have to be absolutely CRAZY to trust this place with your business. read more

I was visiting from out of town and needed an emergency dental work so found this place on yelp . Horrible experience !! Stay away!! They are Thieves . I was overcharged and given services that was not necessary. They are overpriced and under-qualified. Never ever again read more

P+E Dental is a great find in the Galleria area! I have been twice in the past year and have been extremely pleased with the service and professionalism of this office. Time Spent in Waiting Room: Minimal, less than 5 minutes each visit. Appointment: Started off with x-rays and then cleaning. On my last cleaning, I was in a rush to make a meeting and let the hygienist know. She did a thorough job and got me out with time to spare. I have seen both dentist at this office and they were more than happy to answer all of my questions. The Office Itself: This office is located in a high rise building with a great view of the city. I would recommend this Dentist to anyone in the market for a new one. read more

Husband and wife team of dentists who go out of their way to do right by your mouth. They are gentle, have lovely offices (great views, bright and clean surroundings, and use all the latest technology). I have been a patient for 4 yrs, and would highly recommend them! read more

Awesome people, great staff and outstanding facilities. Been a patient since i have arrived to Houston, 6 years. Amanda and Fabian thank you for your excellent service always. read more

This place is very professional and clean. I haven't had bad service, but I did have an issue that they wanted to do x-rays every 6 months. I had to sign a waiver to skip it my second time visiting. That was a very unsettling feeling with me because I have been to numerous dentists and I knew immediately this was just to charge the insurance more than necessary. I've never been to a dentist that did it more than once a year. It didn't really keep me from wanting to go until I read other reviews this morning from people who actually ended up having these type of issues where they were screwed with billing. It just shows the character of this practice, and I would rather not take the chance of ending up in that situation, so I've decided to find another dentist office. read more

Dr Paulik is the best! He and his staff are patient and understanding. They took good care of me throughout the process of my procedure. Dr Paulik made sure I was comfortable and I understood every step of the way, but most importantly the end result was perfect! I've been going to this dentist for a few years and I highly recommend P&E - Galleria/Highland Village. read more

I hate going to the dentist, but they always make me feel so comfortable here. Tried four other dental places prior to P+E and I can say that I had the best experience at P+E. The equipment is up to date, visits are on time, and the staff is friendly and informative. read more

Stop searching for a dentist and get on over to P&E Dental. They are as good as it gets!! Dr. Paluk and Dr. Echeverria are both world-class human beings and have built a team of dedicated and enthusiastic professionals who will make you feel excited about your visit (and your return). From the moment you walk into their office, you are going to experience a warmth and comfort that will set your worries at ease. The view from the 25th floor and the obvious efforts that the staff make to accommodate your anxieties will blow your mind - the experience isn't just about minimizing pain, it's about maximizing comfort (and they'll take care of the pain issues too, right away)! My family goes to P&E, my coworkers and friends from church go to P&E, and I'm enthusiastic about helping others discover what an amazing dental experience can and should be like. Don't hesitate - give them an opportunity. You will be totally convinced, I'm positive! read more

I am ecstatic that I was referred to P&E by a colleague. My regular dentist had retired and my quest for another great dentist was futile. Every person I've dealt with here, from the front desk to billing to hygienists to both dentists, have been so friendly. The hygienist are so gentle! Also, they do one visit dentistry. I got imprinted for a crown and it was fired right there. No return visit 2-3 weeks later. I tell everyone about how great they are. read more

This was the best visit to the dentist I've ever had... and it's not just because I didn't have any cavities. My dental hygienist was incredibly thorough with the cleaning, but also very gentle. She was really informative as well. I also really liked my x-ray tech and the doctor, doctor Paluk. You get a super cute goody bag at the end of your first visit. read more

I gave P+E Dental a try based on the generally favorable reviews on Yelp and convenience to my office. I came in on a Friday afternoon for a first appointment. I was initially impressed with the office staff as they were diligent about taking my x-rays and performing a comprehensive review to assess my overall dental health. After the initial assessment, one of the administrative staff came in to discuss with me a printed treatment plan that showed charges for both a regular and a "deep cleaning." Being unfamiliar with a deep cleaning and noting that it was largely not covered by my insurance, I began asking questions and was told that I would need to speak with my hygienist. Upon his return, the hygienist informed me he was recommending a deep cleaning because of two gaps between my teeth with gum pockets that were in excess of 4 millimeters. Still feeling uncertain about procedure (which would cost me a few hundred dollars out of pocket), I did some research on my phone and noted that deep cleanings were sometimes necessary to combat gum disease, however they also sometimes used by dentists to pad their bottom lines. The internet literature I saw noted that typically the problem would need to be pervasive before a treatment plan should be adopted. After doing this research, I expressed my reservations to my hygienist and said that I wanted to pass on the deep cleaning today and monitor the issue until my next cleaning to see if the problematic gum pockets could be addressed via other mechanisms. The hygienist informed me that it was possible that Dr. Paluk would not treat me further if I did not get the deep cleaning and I said that was fine and the hygienist informed me that he would send in Dr. Paluk for further discussion. Upon discussing with the Dr. Paluk, I repeated my view that the gum pocket matter was isolated to a couple of teeth, I wanted to monitor for a short period of time, and that I just wanted my regular cleaning that is covered by insurance. Dr. Paluk then informed me that he refused to provide further services to me if I did not accept a treatment plan that included a deep cleaning. I stated that I was not interested and left the office. Overall, I found the approach employed by Dr. Paluk to be completely unacceptable. Unlike other forms of health care, dentistry is typically not so urgent that it requires immediate action (especially for a matter that involved a very limited number of gum pockets) and furthermore, I have zero tolerance for a health care provider who effectively tried to bully me into purchasing an elective procedure, substantially not covered by health insurance, before he would provide the routine service (basic cleaning) that is fully covered by my dental insurance. I also take issue with Dr. Paluk's claim that I could sue him for medical malpractice if I did not follow his treatment plan that included a deep cleaning. While I respect his judgment (he pointed out his years of experience and periodontal specialty) and he can do as he wishes with his dental practice, I find it virtually impossible that I would have any civil claim against him if his records reflected his recommendation and my refusal to accept the service. As a final note, Dr. Paluk never once looked in my mouth during my entire visit and his treatment plan was based exclusively on the recommendation of his hygienist. I will not be returning P+E Dental and I could not possibly recommend this health care provider to others based on my experience. read more

Best dentist view I have ever seen! Located on the 25th floor of a high rise, all you can see is the blue sky and the clouds while you're sitting on that scary chair. Everything is organized very well and they are very efficient. In my experience, patients have been greeted always with smiles and staff had been friendly. I am happy with the services I have received so far (deep cleaning, replacement of fillings and a new onlay) and I can say that Dr.Echeverria is excellent and very through. read more

As far as dentists go these guy are a-OK in my book. Professional, courteous, and quick but thorough. I was in and out within just a couple hours. Given the amount of work that needed to be done that day, 2 hours in the chair was a blessing lol read more

Great place for dental work! Very clean and the staff are very accommodating. Love Drs Paluk & Echevarria. They always try their best to work everything out. They take the time to explain everything thats going on. They truly care about their patients. Just make sure to bring a jacket, the place is always freezing cold. read more

Just an amazing staff and facility! I want these folks to know us loyal customers really appreciate the great dental care they provide and the outstanding facility. Happy Holidays P+E! read more

The staff at P&E Dental are outstanding. From scheduling appointments thru the cleaning everyone seems to really care. They even have 7am appointments! I'm incredibly picky about my dentist choice and these guys are the best in Houston. read more

My first visit was exceptional without complaint. The staff is beyond friendly, welcoming and compassionate. I didn't feel pressured into anything but felt very informed and had enlighten information to make my own decision. I've never liked visiting a dental office until now! read more

Got a Living Social deal for whitening, exam, and X-ray. Came back a couple weeks later to get all my old fillings replaced. The staff is very nice, the doctor was nice, also, but not quite as personable, but that doesn't bother me They were super gentle...AND very reasonable considering I am self employed and don't carry dental insurance. Would recommend them for sure. read more

These guys are amazing! Great service, modern office, attentive, friendly, professional. So glad to be back with P-E after a year without... read more

I have been working with p+e since 2008 and i am always impressed with their profesional skills and friendly staff. It makes me always feel at home and well taken care. CarlosBarrios read more

The staff, facilities, and customer service are superb. I highly recommend this practice to everyone young and old. The staff is extremely kind and talk you through everything they are doing, they are extremely knowledgeable, and sensitive to any individual's concerns. They even helped me figure out my insurance and coverage with them. The facilities are beautiful and in a great and safe location. The technology is state of the art and very comfortable for all. I am not a fan of dentist visits and I am usually hesitant but I felt like they really took great care of me and I actually can't wait to go back and see them again! BEST DENTIST EXPERIENCE ANYONE CAN ASK FOR! :) read more

Dr. E is the best around. Everyone at her office is awesome. The most relaxing dental experience ever!

Amazing office. I've been a patient for two years and I am very happy. All the Dr's and Personal are very kind and profesional.

My dentist told me to see a periodontics specialist and recommended one. My consultation was the worst experience I ever had going to any dentist. I found another one online and the experience was about the same. I said to myself, "What is wrong with these people. Don't they want to help you get better?". It seemed their offices were more interested in how I was going to pay them in full before they would accept me as a patient. I choose P&E Dental by random through my Insurance book. Walked in there beautiful office and was treated like a celebrity. They are the most beautiful people inside and out. I actually can't hardly wait for my next appointment. I love them so much. Even if you don't need to see a dentist, just go visit and bring them some strawberry Crave Cup Cakes, Dr. E's favorite. read more
