Mill Creek Dental Care somehow manages to make going to the dentist a genuinely pleasant…read moreexperience--which feels like a small miracle. The hygienists are energetic, friendly, and incredibly kind. They strike the perfect balance between professional and personable, and they clearly care about patient comfort. I have a sensitivity to the sound of the water pick when they're cleaning my back teeth (for me it's basically nails on a chalkboard), and without hesitation they offer ear plugs. That small act of empathy goes a long way and makes a huge difference. I've also had a couple of fillings done over the past year. I won't pretend I enjoy needles, numbing, or drilling--because who does?--but the team kept me calm, didn't overwhelm me, and made sure I stayed as comfortable as possible throughout the process. If you're looking for a dental office that's skilled, compassionate, and understands that dental anxiety is very real, Mill Creek Dental Care is an easy recommendation. Even the parts I normally dread were handled with care (and ear plugs).

The people at this dental office were all very friendly and I rarely had to wait long to get in for…read moreteeth cleanings, but my experience with Dr. Machado in getting a replacement bridge was outrageous. I chose to proactively replace my bridge since it was 25 yrs old and there were signs of mild decay underneath. The replacement took Dr. Machado five attempts (you read that correctly- FIVE attempts) until she was able to provide me with a passable replacement bridge. Which translated into many trips to and from her office between July and November. Not surprisingly, it was always the fault of the lab. You might wonder how I could have possibly endured going back so many times. At the time, I was overwhelmed with taking care of a very sick family member and I didn't have the bandwidth to deal with this fiasco on top of everything. I just crossed my fingers and hoped that the next visit would be "the last one." Note that there was no mention of reimbursing me for my time and gas expenditure... until I brought it up. The good news is that I was eventually reimbursed for time & gas at my last visit to the office, after a teeth cleaning, when I explained all this to someone at the front desk. When I presented my teeth-cleaning bill to her, she made an executive decision to take it from me and tell me it was taken care of. I'm sorry that I didn't note the name of this true professional. The worst part of this whole ridiculous experience is that despite all the stress & frustration, I still have a less-than-perfect-fitting bridge. Food gathers under the lingual side of the bridge after each meal. Lovely, right? I recently considered requesting a full reimbursement from Dr. Machado for the entire process so I could take my ill-fitted bridge to another dental office and have it completely redone. However, after reading other reviews, I realized that I would NEVER get my money back from this dental group. Fair, ethical, and capable, they are not.

I was shocked to receive a surprise collection notice for a balance I had no idea was heading to…read morecollections. When I called the office to ask why I never received a final warning, their response was that I had 'opened an email' back in May. That email was not a final notice--it was a generic, automated 'New Statement' that simply said I had 30 days to view my bill online. It contained zero mention of being past due, zero mention of an impending deadline, and absolutely zero mention of debt collection or credit damage. I paid the balance to stop the credit hit, but I was forced to pay an extra collection fee because of their lack of clear communication. When I called back to ask if they would help with that extra fee since I never received a proper warning, they flatly refused and just repeated that I had opened the automated email. Future patients: Do not assume this office will call you, mail you, or explicitly warn you before sending your balance to collections. A generic e-statement is the only heads-up you will get. Check your balance constantly. This experience clearly deserves 1 star.

Avoid using Dr. Marmur, the dentist who bought Dr. Tarantola's practice…read more Dr. Marmur lied to me when he called me to introduce himself. Dr. Tarantola did not require me to get x-rays. Dr. Marmur told me that he did not require x-rays. This morning, the day of my cleaning, his office called me to tell me that I had to have x-rays. Again they lied to me by telling me that x-rays are required by state law. That also is a bold face lie. If you check the statutes, there is NO requirement for the patient to get x-rays. I am sure that you can find a dentist who will be honest with you, even if you like to get x-rays.

Two gave me switch and bait exams and X-rays (quoted on price on the phone and upped the price after the work was done). One caused an abscess in my gum and I had to have an emergency visit to my primary care physician because that dentist would not prescribe a needed antibiotic. Two others were obnoxious. One said I had mouth cancer and sent me back to a surgeon who sent me to him. They didn't know what they were doing. Dr. Tarantola was straight forward. No cancer. It was a saliva gland! The price quoted was the price charged. After one visit with him for a checkup and one cleaning, my mouth, teeth and gums have never been healthier. He is the dentist to see. His hygienist, is the best I have ever had clean my teeth. Do yourself a favor and go to there.
