SCAM ARTISTS. DO NOT GO HERE. I made an appointment here and…read moremade an appointment for what I thought was a simple cleaning. They didn't pick up when I called, and then I kept getting emails that were obviously sent by AI - not real people; this should have been my first red flag. I showed up at my appointment and they informed me that I would not, in fact, be getting a cleaning, but rather getting a full dental exam and x-rays, and only after they made sure I had no severe issues would I be able to schedule a cleaning. I thought "whatever, I'm already here" and just went along with it because I wanted the cleaning. I brush and floss 2x per day and have no pain or discomfort, so I figured I would be fine. They told me that they weren't sure how soon I could get in for a cleaning after I was "cleared," but the woman at the front desk was perfectly nice and seemed to just be doing what she'd been told. I spent an hour in a half in that office doing god knows what. They put me in a million different machines before the actual dentist saw me. Dr. Vitez waltzed in with this extremely phony, patronizing voice and gave me this whole scripted schpiel that made me want to roll my eyes to the back of my head. She glanced at my scans and looked at my teeth for all of 2 minutes before she informed me that I had TEN CAVITIES that needed to be filled IMMEDIATELY and all at once. Oh - and suddenly they had wide open availability next week to get me in for my 10 fillings! I asked if I could just get a cleaning first and she told me no, for "liability reasons" I would have to get my 10 fillings first. When I got to the front desk to check out, they informed me that I would have to pay several hundred dollars for these fillings out of pocket (they would get a few thousand from the insurance company too). Total scammers who are clearly just trying to get a payday. I got the hell out of there and sent my x-rays to a different very reputable dentist who informed me that my x-rays looked TOTALLY FINE with no visible cavities or issues and warned me not to get treated at this place.

I can't believe I have yet to write a review about Dr. Hurtado and his team. This might sound…read moreweird, as the dentist shouldn't be an excitement, but I love coming into the office! Dr. Hurtado and his staff always introduce me with a smile and they are so kind, not to mention extremely professional. Julio, the treatment coordinator, is simply awesome. He has impeccable patience, off the charts customer service, and just creates a positive and welcoming environment. Which, believe me, I NEED in a dental office. And then there's Myra, the office coordinator. Myra is another gem at Dr. Hurtado's office. Any questions regarding insurance or financial coordination - speak to Myra! She helped (over three years ago) develop a payment plan for a new Invisalign treatment that worked with my finances. I couldn't believe how transparent and upfront she was - after 6 months of financing and payoff, I know there was not any "fine text" or "disclaimers" from Myra. She has a heart of gold and is an absolute angel! Both dental assistants (Aracelli and Lindel) are extremely experienced, knowledgable and never less than professional. And last but not least, Dr. Hurtado, although I am not even sure where to begin. Dr. Hurtado spent so much time with me perfecting my Invisalign & complex dental treatment; I was really blown away by his attention to detail. He has created an absolutely exceptional practice in every capacity. The entire office staff are genuinely kind, incredibly friendly, and make a point of explaining procedures they need to perform with every little detail you could think of. I have never had a better experience at the office of any medical professional.

I was going to a dentist in Carpenteria that I liked a lot for the past few years, but he recently…read moreretired and I wasn't loving the new dentist who took over his practice, so I decided to look for a new one. A good friend of mine recommended Dr. Layus and although it's a bit more of a drive for me, I only usually visit the dentist twice a year so no biggie. Let me just say, I am so very very glad I switched! Dr. Layus is such a nice guy, and he made me feel very comfortable. I felt like he was honest and didn't try to upsell me the whole time (one of the reasons I left my previous dentist). He offers Invisalign, which I am very excited about because I've been considering doing it for a couple years now. My old dentist did not do Invisalign, so that's a huge plus. I am returning in a couple weeks to do a scan for Invisalign and will hopefully be able to get started soon after! The hygienist, Tatiana, was great and very knowledgeable about airway dentistry, which was another huge plus as I have recently been learning quite a bit about airway health, and she was able to give me some really wonderful insight. The woman at the front desk, Anayi (sorry if I got the spelling wrong) was really sweet and easy to work with. Overall I loved my experience here. My one and ONLY very small complaint is just that the waiting room is really small. But it's an older building, and they have made it look really nice and updated inside. The bathroom was clean (really important to me), and the whole office was decorated cute with beach and surf photos. I forgot to grab photos at my first visit, but I will be going back in a couple weeks to do my Invisalign scan and will update my review with photos then!

Not only was Cecilia incredibly unprofessional and rude when I was a client here, advocating for myself; Dr. Layus was pushing his political rhetoric my entire 2 appts. On top of them botching my dental work that had to be fixed because they botched it the first time, and also they never completed a crown install because Cecilia didn't like that I stick up for myself or won't let them be disrespectful to their clientele, so they refused to work on me any further. Which has led me to THOUSANDS of corrective dental work and oral surgery next week. AVOID THIS DENTIST OFFICE. Entire lack of professionalism and genuine care across the board.

Everything seemed new and state of the art. Their staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and overall I had a very pleasant experience. Just this week I decided to go back in to see Dr. Hlavaty for a more in-depth procedure. A previous dentist had given me a filling in a back tooth that left a gap. For the past 5 or 6 years I have been needing to floss after every meal as to not allow food to get stuck which just kind of became my routine but all of that flossing caused damage to another tooth as well requiring a second filling. Because I have never been a huge fan of getting dental work done, I pushed it off for way too long. Dr. Hlavaty had me in and out feeling like the gap was never there. The doc and his assistant consistently checked in to make sure I was comfortable and fixed both teeth before I knew it. The process was quick and painless. I feel like in the future I will be far less hesitant to get dental work done because I know I now have a great dentist to rely on.
