WOW! I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Pueblo Dental Center on N. Silverbell Rd in Tucson, AZ. I broke a tooth, called for an appointment and they were able to see me the SAME DAY! I arrived and spent less than 5 minutes in the waiting room. Exam, X-ray and consultation all completed in less than an hour. Then scheduled the repair work to be done the very next day. Arrived the following day, no waiting in the waiting room. The filling was done without ANY pain, in and out in 45 minutes. I am 67 years old. This was probably THE BEST and easiest dental experience I have ever had. Dr. Julia Drabs and her assistant Luz were amazing! The staff, Michelle and Tifany, so helpful and friendly. EVERYONE was upbeat cheerful, thorough and professional. I would highly recommended choosing Dr. Julia and her staff! read more

Pueblo Dental on Silverbell has a great staff although I question the dentist, Julia Drabbs, for her lack of professionalism and her dnst/ patient relationship. 2nd visit with PD. Had toothache, so, X-ray, picking, poking at teeth diagnosis; needed a root canal and a crown. Instead of handling it themselves I was sent to a specialist who then took x-rays, picked and poked, diagnosis; tooth is fine! Even took special "around the head" x-ray. Ttl visit cost around $450 Sent Pueblo a copy of invoice and even spoke with office mgr about misdiagnoses and/or reimbursement or some sort of compensation. I'm easy. She told me something could be done and would take care of it at the follow up app. But, No go! Julia Drabbs, dnst, had nothing to say. Remained hidden, had office mgr state that " I could no longer trust her" and gave me a general release form. No comment, kept repeating statement like a robot. No apologies ,no reimbursement, no contact. What a drama queen(s)... Thus the 1 star. TM read more

I'm writing this review on behalf of my mom Jane D. and her experience with Pueblo Dental Center, Dr. Julia N. Drabs DMD. Julia and her staff are very kind, and understanding. Julia listened to my concerns, and answered my questions carefully. She guided me through a plan of action that was in the best interest of me. Julia explained everything pre and post op in detail. Not enough words can explain how very happy I am with the results, and the experience to get there. I couldn't thank her enough! read more

Dr. Drabs' treatment of my 5-year old in Nov/Dec. 2019 caused unnecessary pain and suffering and led to a formal complaint with the AZ Dental Board. It is a matter of public record and resulted in a Letter of Concern (non punitive discipline) from Board, finalized October 9, 2020. Case #202000034. I do not recommend this dentist for pediatric patients. read more

Dentists cannot compete with how wonderful this place is. Friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced, Dr. Julie is awesome and always looking to learn the next thing. Their technology is spot-on and up-to-date. Top of the line! I cannot say enough about this place!! 5 stars and I would give more if I could! read more

Was referred and absolutely amazed at the care of staff and office, the clear communication and genuine care for dental health is priority and great environment overall. Having a dentist/techs that care on top of professional work & quality is refreshing. All techs were amazing as well read more

I have been going to Dr. Drabbs since I moved to Tucson in 2005. If you are looking for a super experience this is the place to go I have had my share of dental emergencies over the years, and they have always worked to accommodate my needs. The staff will work with you to get the treatment need. I am thankful to have a dentist that is kind and also hires very competent people. I don't know if Dr. Drabbs speaks Spanish, but I know his office staff does, which is truly a plus in my book. Wayno read more

My husband went in because he had a cracked tooth, and a major tooth ache. Dr. Julia took zero time to explain to him what was going on with his tooth. She prescribed him an antibiotic and referred him somewhere else for three weeks out, when all he went in for was an emergency tooth extraction. In addition to pushing him off onto someone else, she didn't listen to him when he said he wanted his tooth pulled, and she made completely inappropriate political jokes. She made it clear that her intentions were with making money, and if she had to make customers feel unheard and brushed off in the process, then so be it. She created such an uncomfortable experience. read more

Horrible. I waited ONE HOUR just to be seen. I was the first person in. There was about 5 other clients that came in 30-45 minutiae after me. And I still got seen last. This is ridiculous. Never will come here again ! read more

Phenomenal x-ray staff. Julia Drabs rushed exam and told me my mouth was bad, needing an Oral Surgeon and Periodontist, she prescribed antibiotic for my swollen face and tooth infection then refused to prescribe more than aspirin. I am now looking forward to 2 weeks in pain as I wait for the Oral Surgeon appt. And I found the surgeon and periodontist on my own b/c Drabs referred me to 2 doctors who don't take my insurance. read more

Leaving a zero isn't an option here but should be. Dr Julia Drabs was abusive, neglectful and dishonest. Her poorly trained technician practically choked me with her temporary crown mixture and they never came to assist me nor apologize. Both sadisticly commented to me while I was in the patient chair. Then Drabs lied about their errors in such a cruel manner that I swear she's crazy! Her office manager was surly when I asked for copies of my treatment visits. Obviously I'll not recommend Julie Drabs EVER. BTW there's a complaint from a Mother to the Dental Board where Drabs was sent a "Letter of Concern" for abusing her ypung boy of 5 years old. It ended with a Tribunal that Drabs had to attend. That Mother posted that letter from the Board on Yelp. She stated that she did not recommend Dr Julie Drabs ever treat pediatric patients since her son was victimized by Drabs that caused him "unnecessary pain and suffering" in his Mother's own words. I read the actual online Tribunal Notes where it stated the young child had yelled loudly in pain & fear as a direct result from Drabs treatment! I don't recommend her for any age group. read more

I had an emergency, and Pueblo Dental saw me the next day. It was determined that the tooth needed to be pulled and an implant placed. The implant was inserted the next day. Absolutely professional in all aspects. Virtually painless. The most impressive portion of my situation, everyone was empathetic and caring. I will not hesitate using Dr. Julia Drabbs in all future dental visits. She is awesome!! read more

I've been a patient at Pueblo Dental for a year now, and I must say that this has been the BEST dentistry experience of my life. The entire staff is professional, courteous and they never waste your time. Charges seem very fair for the level of service received, and the receptionists make a great effort to maximize insurance benefits. Both doctors Julia and David are fantastic to work with and they appear to genuinely care about their patients. Highly recommended! read more

I've been coming to Pueblo Dental since I was in middle school. I'm now a 26 year old who still comes to her childhood dentist.

Every question gets answered, and the staff is extremely knowledgeable that make me feel at ease. Needless to say I love coming here, and that's why I keep coming back year after year. I'm so happy with the service here that I always try to recommend them to my loved ones. I'll be coming back every year unless they don't accept my insurance anymore lol thank Pueblo Dental for keeping my teeth healthy - I'll try to floss more I promise. read more

I am a new patient after my dentist of many year's shuttered their practice. I was so pleasantly received and I am glad to have a dentist in my neighborhood!! The staff is nice and really understands the financial situation of the patients. The doc is knowledgeable and offers great and accesible advice. I am also psyched to have a female dentist for the first time in my life!! I am happy to turn my dental care to this family run practice. Highly recommend for all my west side and downtown friends. read more

I have been to El Pueblo Dental Center for over 15 years. The staff was very friendly and cordial. The doctor was to the point. I will continue to come back for years to come. read more

There always helpful and friendly. Unlike other Dental offices where you show up for your scheduled appointment, but then end up waiting three hours after that, they're are most certainly not like that! If you have an appointment time, keep it. You may end up filling out paperwork beforehand but you will get in pretty much on time. I've never been a fan of dentists (but then again, who is?!) but I do like them. read more

I am so thankful I found this dental office. Not only is it close to home, the office staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Julie is down to earth, zero ego, to the point and gives it to you "straight." I really appreciate her no-nonsense style and has helped me with dental pain quickly and effectively. read more

The receptionists are surly, they have terrible availability even for urgent needs, and when I went in I waited over an hour just to be seen. Avoid. read more

Dr Julie Drabs is the best she always put you at ease. She can make you laugh in heartbeat. Her skills are top notch. I went to her with a mouth full of problems and she shined like a rockstar. I have been to many dentist over the years and never knew it could be so wonderful. I highly recommend her and her staff. Thank you Pueblo Dental and special Shout out to Dr Drabs read more

Dr. Julie Drabs and the staff at Pueblo Dental are professional, funny, and friendly and made what might understandably be an anxious visit very pleasant. Very few people enjoy dental procedures; however, Dr. Drabs has a way of easing one's anxiety with her humor and kind demeanor. She is trustworthy, efficient, and would never recommend unnecessary procedures. No need for second opinions prior to dental work; Dr. Drabs is top notch! Had I known about Pueblo Dental I would have taken care of my issues years ago! read more

This was a pretty awful experience. I scheduled a routine exam and cleaning. The day of I waited 90 minutes after my appointment time before I was seen by the dentist, only to be told that: 1) I had to schedule a separate appointment for routine cleaning and 2) the soonest appointment was 2 months away. I don't understand why 1) the cleaning couldn't be done on the same day as the exam 2) they didn't tell me when I scheduled the appointment that I would need 2 separate ones so I could schedule them both at that time. 3) they schedule so heavily that their availability is crap. overall one of the worst dentist experiences I've had. read more
