Dr. Putrus Waiel DDS (Deliberate Dental Saboteur) was my regular dentist for 22 years - until last year. A filling fell out of Molar #18 and I went to him as usual. I told him "If my molar breaks, after you work on it: I am NOT coming back to you to let you repair it." and he ignored me. Probably didn't hear a word I said - or he would have known better than to try to pull his little scam on ME! Then he did a trick that dozens of dentists are doing now, in order to get extra work - and leave the patient (I mean victim) unaware that they deliberately did anything wrong to them. He did not put enough amalgam in the cavity to fill it in all of the way flush to the top of the surface of the molar - so that weeks later the pressure from food being bitten down upon spreads out, and cracks off, the edge of the molar: so he can "Repair" the chipped molar with a Crown - at the insurance companies expense (Insurance fraud by means of a 'defective fill' - deliberately causing your molar to break open within 2 months of him working on it!). Sure enough, a few weeks later, the molar split open as I was biting down on some food. I went to another dentist and had a crown put on #18 - and that cheating dentist Dr. Putrus Waiel, DDS (Deliberate Dental Saboteur) will never see my face again. Here's how this scam usually works. He will tell you that the filling is bad and needs to be replaced. He doesn't fill in the replacement filling all of the way; leaving very slight protruding edges sticking up around the filling. As you bite down on food: the food spreads out on top of the filling and presses against the insides of the very slight edges - and within two to three months - you'll bite down on some food and a part of your molar chips off. Then, of course, you'll trustingly go back to the doctor who deliberately sabotaged your molar: to get a crown - to repair the top of the chipped molar (That he deliberately caused). So, he gets dental work from drilling out a perfectly good filling and "Replacing" that filling with a new defective filling - then a month or two later you'll have 'a dental emergency' and he gets your insurance company to pay him to put a very expensive crown on your now broken molar (which is the REAL Payoff of the Scam) - getting two dental procedures out of your insurance company by ruining first a good filling and then ruining your molar so that it needs a crown to repair it. If Dr. Putrus has "Replaced" a filling in one of your molars - and within 2 to 3 months the molar cracks open, just a little bit, at the top - you are a victim of his ongoing and repeating scam - just like I was. But I've LOST two molars to this scam before - and I know how it works, which is WHY I said to him "If my molar breaks, after you work on it: I am NOT coming back to you to let you repair it.". Too bad he didn't listen to me. Now I get to tell everyone why, after 22 years, he is no longer my dentist and EXACTLY how his little scam works - to warn you against letting him convince you one of the fillings in one of your molars is bad: and needs replacement. You'll wind up with a crown on what WAS a perfectly healthy molar and he'll wind up thousands of dollars richer and you'll be none the wiser that he has committed Deliberate Dental Sabotage (DDS) upon you. But now you've been warned, by a dentist who knows exactly how this scam works - do NOT let him replace a filling in any of your molars!!! Or if you do: do not go back to him, and reward him for deliberately breaking your molar, by "fixing" it with a crown - because the crown is the big money payoff for him and why he regularly does defective fills on patients in the first place. I can say with absolute confidence that Dr. Putrus is a scammer: and you can't trust him. The Crown I have on Molar #18 says so. Older and Wiser. read more

I am a case manager and I have a lot of clients who go to Dr. Waiel, and he is hands down an amazing dentist. He is efficient, his work is amazing, he is kind and a hard worker. His staff is so nice and they are so patient with me as I try to juggle appointments. I think this pracrtice is hands down worthy of your time and he takes medi.medi which is so hard to find a dentist who does good work and takes those insurances. Five stars to this practice. I also have to add, the dental assistants are amazing too. Thank you guys!!! read more

I really wanted to give this dentist 5 stars because he's so nice but my experience was not the best. First of all the dentist is very nice and so is the staff. I went in because of tooth pain and regular maintenance. I have sensitive teeth so I never know if I have cavities unless I have an x-ray. My first visit I had x-rays and polishing done. The dental assistant stated I didn't have tarter. Then the assistant and Dr. P looked at my x-rays and said my teeth looked cavity free but that my teeth were damaged from grinding my teeth at night. I only needed one filling replaced. Then I was done. I made another appointment because I still have extreme pain. They took me in Dr. P looked at my teeth, pulled the x-rays they originally took and said there was no problem. I explained my concerns and that I felt something was wrong because of pain, even the filling he replaced hurt and felt loose. Nope. Dr. P said everything looked good then RX 800mg IB profen and sent me home. Yesterday I was eating soft chewy sour dough bread when a big chunk of one of my teet fell out leaving sharp edges on my tooth that cut my tongue. This is one of the teeth I was complaining about too. He said it looked great. I called right away for an emergency appointment and the front desk girl said none were available until Monday. Keep in mind I'm in alot of pain. I asked about coming in Friday and she said they are closed for Easter. So I made the appointment for Monday but found another Dentist that can take me right away. I guess it's just my luck. It's up to you if you see this dentist it might work out but based on my experience I don't feel quality is consistently good. read more

I had to get my wisdom tooth pulled out and I have been putting it off for a while but I wish I would of found Dr. Putrus a long time ago.

I have to say, Dr. Putrus is the best dentist I've had the pleasure of taking care of me. He's very knowledgable about his work and sensitive to his patient's needs. If you need a good, quality dentist I couldn't recommend him enough. Also, the staff there is super cool and friendly, and always accommodating if you need to switch an appointment around or reschedule altogether. Overall, 5/5 and I would recommend him to anyone! I've deals with HORRIBLE dentists before, and he pretty much fixed up all the shotty work they had done on my fillings and other things that needed to be addressed. A+ read more

I grew up going to Dr. Putrus. He is kind and patient and loves his work. I wish I still lived in California so I could go to him. The staff is also very friendly! read more

What a hidden gem! Dr putras is a amazing dentist. His expertise is. Impeccable. He is a dentist where dentist go. So glad I found him.

I've been to this dental office since I was a child and now as a mother I bring my children here too. The staff have a strong work ethics ( many have been working at this dental office for 6+ yrs.), and the dentist is patient, calm, and will explain each procedure that will be done. The staff as well. This dental office won't charge you a fee for missing your appointment like other offices do, they TRUELY care about the patient and not the patient wallet. They will gladly take walk ins but you might have to wait a bit. read more
