Today Root canals, prep for crown…read more Dr. Mendoza is the best Dentist I've ever had, and I've been here for 5 decades, so that's saying a lot. I had this procedure at another dentist about a year and a half ago. It was so painful. He did not check in. He got frustrated when I would ask him to pause for a minute. And he was very rough. Dr. Mendoza is so gentle. One of my many favorite things about him as he checks in to make sure that you're OK and not in pain. He also tells you exactly what he's doing each step. Today I had Angela and Marife. Both were very kind and nurturing. I also had the pleasure of meeting another front desk associate her name is Rose and she's also very sweet. I highly recommend this DENTIST and amazing staff! A month ago - Extractions Meli was the first person I spoke to when I called as a new patient. Super sweet and professional. Angie was the person who did my X rays. She was very gentle and kind. I was visiting the office because I needed an extraction, and was in excruciating pain. The staff were like my lil guardian angels. Then Dr. Mendoza comes in the room. I was having such an amazing experience. I was kind of scared that the dentist might be like most I've seen. Cold with a God complex. Dr. Mendoza is the exact opposite! He's light hearted, funny and extremely informative. Wish I found this office 30 years ago. I'm 54 and have never experienced such a peaceful and loving environment at a dentist. Ty everyone.

The front office staff were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about their patients. I originally came in for an Invisalign and wisdom teeth consultation, and I ended up leaving with two wisdom teeth extracted, my next Invisalign appointment scheduled, and a payment plan set up all in a single visit. The technology they use is impressive. One of the coolest parts was seeing an AI-generated preview of what my teeth could look like after Invisalign treatment. Everyone in the back office was friendly and professional as well. As for the doctor, he was awesome, personable, funny, and able to keep me relaxed with jokes when appropriate. At the same time, he was honest, knowledgeable, and focused on what would be best for me in the long run. I was extremely nervous about trying a new dentist, but the team at Stonebrook Dental made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist in the Sacramento area. Five stars all the way.

I couldn't wait to let people know, if you are looking for a dentist who is willing to do the best dental work with their heart, not something else, then here is the one. His name is Ravi Patel . He is very knowledgeable, when I showed him something very new on the Laboratory results, targeting TMJ, he even knows about it. quickly telling me my questions. He filled two of my teeth yesterday, here's a picture of one of them for you to see. I want to say thank you doctor Ravi so much!

PLEASE READ THIS IN ITS ENTIRETY. YES I KNOW ITS LONG BUT I PROMISE YOU ITS WORTH IT…read more I have been going to this dental office for several years. Everytime I'm there the staff is friendly, kind, and always willing to help. I recently had to go in for a semi emergency. (Let me explain a little. I have a seizure disorder. During a seizure i clinche my jaws, stiffen up, and shake violently.) During a recent seizure, I broke a molar. The front office got me in. I was seen, spoke with and because of the severity they had me come back the same day to have the procedure done. It was not an easy process. I ended up needing 3 crowns a root canal and extraction. Dr. Gaddis took his time to ensure I was comfortable. His assistant checked on me as well as the young lady who is part of the back office staff. (I'm sorry to you both I'm terrible with names but just know I think your both amazing). Because of the severity I was there for 3 hrs. No one there got frustrated or upset at me because my appointment took that long. I kept them at the office past the closing time, or that during my procedure I had to stop it and get up to use the bathroom. When I was finished they had called in the medication the Dr. had prescribed asked me if I was OK, and as I apologize for keeping them late both of the ladies in the reception area smiled kept telling me it was OK not to worry and to rest. I apologize to Dr. Gaddis as well. Since the last part of my appointment was the extraction. It was not easy by any means. The Dr. never once made me feel like i was holding him up or i was a problem. Once everything was done, i stood up and said to the Dr that tooth was being stubborn. He just smiled and said a little bit but I got it. All the while still having a smile. He gave me some extra gauze and i apologize to him. He also said no dont worry. I scheduled my next appointment. So if you want a dental office thats quaint, kind, helpful, and understanding. This is the place. P.S. I have read the other reviews that were complaining. Let me say this in response to some of the other reviews: 1. Its standard practice for a office to not allow other children in the back office. Especially young child as it can be a problem 2. Temporary crowns are never level with all your other teeth. Hence why it's a temporary crown. 3. I have NEVER ONCE experienced this office not answering the phone. They may answer and place me on hold which is acceptable. 4. I also was a patient that came in at one time and had an "emergency" extraction and was asked to come back THE SAME DAY to deal with some of my dental issues that were the most severe. 5. After dental work yes your mouth will be sore. That's expected! 6. I've had my teeth cleaned and experienced bleeding afterwards. It was due to me not having routine cleaning. The bleeding subsided and all was good. Recommendation get your check ups and cleaning regularly to avoid these issues. 7. Arriving exactly at your appointment time when you have never been seen at the office or it's been a while since you've been there is poor etiquette. Sine you need to fill out paperwork and potentially update your information. ARRIVE 10-15 MINUTES PRIOR TO AVOID ANY ISSUES. 8. After arriving for your appointment and doing all the necessary things, waiting can happen. As you never know if the person or persons prior to you may have need extra things done that were unforseen when they made the appointment. Be patient and you will be seen and treated with the same level of care and respect as the prior patients. DIDNT YOUR MAMA EVER TEACH YOU THAT PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE?? 9. Novacaine and numbing. Dr. Gaddis has never put a shot in my mouth that wasn't need. He also has NEVER AND I REPEAT NEVER PUT A SHOT IN THE WRONG SPOT. If I ever felt any sort of pain he had and has always stopped and put MORE in. As I stated before I have a seizure disorder. Which subsequently results in high anxiety and panic attacks easily. Never once have I had a panic attack or have anxiety become so bad that he was unable to finish my treatment. He explains what's going to happen. i.e sounds and feeling like "ok you're going to hear some cracking and feel some pressure. Its all normal. If at anytime you feel pain tap or raise your hand and I'll stop" 10. Having anxiety is completely normal. You are not alone! But trying advising the office that you have anxiety or if you have medication to help you take that prior to coming and have someone come with you that can drive you so your not driving on those medication as well as that person can be your support person. Hold your hand talk to you etc. 11. The music in the office. Now this is just ridiculous . They dont play music overhead and sure Dr. Gaddis plays music. If you don't like the music have you ever tried having a conversation with him about playing something that would help you stay relaxed? Thank you again to the ENTIRE STAFF AND DR. GADDIS

If you don't read this because it's long, read this: do NOT ignore the 1 star reviews and put hope…read morein this place based off the other reviews like I did. I want to start this off by saying both receptionists were very sweet. One thing I didn't appreciate however was that when I called saying I was having an emergency situation, they did not schedule me for that but for a simple routine appointment. Thus when I got to my appointment Dr. Gaddis did not have enough time scheduled for me to do anything other than have his assistant take my x-rays and "make a game plan". I would also like to add I waited 25 minutes in the waiting room. And I wasn't the only one. I don't know how long the woman before me waited but she waited so long she told the receptionist she was going to be leaving. To which the doctor immediately came out for her. Anyways I explained to him that I couldn't eat or drink (I needed my chipped fillings replaced) and that I was very upset at this. He told me I could come in at 4 (as close to 4 as I could make it) which to me seemed very kind. I now understand he just wanted my insurances money. I arrived at 4:20 to have the problems addressed. He started by not giving me enough numbing. When he went in to drill I jumped out of my chair because I felt everything. He decided to give me more numbing and left the room. When he left I started crying from the pain. He came back shortly after to start again. When he saw me crying he told me that if I needed to I could leave. I should have, but I was desperate to get my teeth done before thanksgiving. I don't believe he was putting the numbing in the right placement. I've never had a dentist put it where he was. He continued to drill. I could STILL feel it. So he did more numbing. (Mind you at this point he's only waiting 5 minutes because he wants to leave). He continued his work while I sat in the chair shaking from my anxiety of experiencing such immense pain. I watched this man literally throw materials behind him instead of cautiously disposing of them. This man never used any water in my mouth. Nothing was rinsed. At the end he told me to bite to see if the teeth were in a good spot, and I couldn't feel if they were because by this time the numbing was kicking in. He just said "well just feel the teeth" and I said "I can't I don't know if it's right" so we just ended our session there. He did not floss to make sure the spacing was correct or anything. I did not receive any after care paper work or mentions on when the numbing would wear off. When I got in my car with my boyfriend I was so numb I couldn't talk. I was having trouble swallowing and I couldn't collect my spit. I had to pour water in my mouth and let it and the saliva fall out of my mouth to clear it. I had to keep my mouth open so I didn't bite my tongue. After 2 1/2 hours I ended up going to the ER where they told me it could take 3-4 hours for the numbing to wear off. The doctor told me my throat wasn't swollen and that I was cleared to go home or could stay and be watched. The next day my jaw was in complete pain from how tense it was due to the numbing situation. It remained in pain for 4 days. I also saw my fillings and saw that the tooth that was the worst (he did 2 teeth for me) and was in the most pain, he did poorly. The tooth wasn't even level. I also can't floss it properly due to the poor spacing with the tooth next to it. The whole time I was experiencing such hardships I was hoping that at least his work would be good. It was not. 2 weeks later now and I have severe pain in the tooth. I am going back to a new dentist to get this properly done. Please do not go here.

I had a terrible bad experience last year with another dentist. And I was so nervous that I didn't even know if I was going to get through it.

So the second time around they were amazing absolutely amazing. I don't speak Spanish and they do mainly in that office and it doesn't intimidate me in one bit. The whole entire office is made up of people that are truly a caring people. I literally feel like it's a blessing.

Before I left after my first appointment, Nuova provided me with a treatment plan and costs associated which made it easy to decide and plan for the costs. I havent had issues scheduling appointments as needed . Dr. Padron is very detailed and takes time with each of his patients - this is why other reviewers will say their appointment ran late. I have definitely waited a bit before being seen but the office staff does try and check in with the back staff (through a walkie talkie). The first time I met Dr. Padron he mentioned this and apologized for the longer wait but its worth it for getting a job done right.

State of the heart machines. Amazing care. Top notch practitioners across the board. Also worth noting that I have never had a dentist as good as her with the numbing process; it has always been a pain-free experience so worth it for those nervous about dentists. Her assistants are all excellent and very knowledgeable (shoutout to Arash). I found Dr Castro after 2 well-rated dentists recommended an extraction saying I had a "cracked root" which just didn't sound right (couldn't show it on an x-ray and the tooth next to it had been worked on recently in NY). As costly and overkill as it sounds, I'm glad I went for a 3rd opinion with Dr Castro. Her X-ray and ability to read it were just better and she found a tiny piece of metal from a previous procedure that had gotten infected. Just a quick incision and antibiotics. Ultimately much cheaper than a tooth extraction and showing she wasn't trying to oversell (I would have gone the extraction route at this point). Fast forward a year and I got into a traumatic crash that resulted in extensive jaw and teeth damage requiring complex procedures over the following 5+ years. I have spent a LOT of time in that chair! She has guided me through everything with empathy and professionalism. Results have been amazing, especially when you know the starting point. She never tries to "upsell" and is also very honest with what she can and cannot do and referred me to an (excellent) periodontist when she needed to. Highly recommend if you need an excellent dentist. I also get my cleanings here and all the hygienists have been very good and professional.
