After 15 years of being a patient, it ended abruptly. Dr. Wheatfills lack of compassion, bullying and aggressive nature sent me running out of his office on Wednesday, April 9...FOR GOOD! I was there for a 2nd extraction (the first went textbook). As a patient for all these years, he (and staff) knows I am just one of those patients who needs more than one (sometimes 3) shot of Novocain. Apparently that day he just didn't care. After he administered the first shot, waited the standard time for it to kick in, I wasn't numb. I looked him straight in the eye and said, "I'm not numb." While scratching the left side of my face. He said, "I'll give you a different shot directly into the tooth and we won't have to wait." The second that shot went in I gave a noticeable YELP and he continued. Grabbed his instrument and began to yank. Mind you this is a very large molar. I YELPED (as best I could with his hands in my mouth) very loudly. He grabbed my shoulder and said, "You can't do that!" Excuse me, I can't indicate my PAIN? I was in shock. I'm the patient, your ONLY priority right now. There was no apology. When I said (as best I could with a mouth full of gauze) "that hurt", he replied, "that was your tooth ripping from the jawbone." I thought, this guy is CRAZY. I started to question myself, my pain and sadly, did I deserve this? Maybe he was mad that he couldn't talk me into (bully) the $2K repair and only got $18 out of me? 15 years as a loyal patient, I recommended him to my friends and FAMILY. Please do NOT go to this man for anything. I'm so sorry to anyone who has endured his carelessness, aggression and bullying. For a self-proclaimed Man of God, I have a difficult time believing he has ANY compassion in his heart. Honestly, I have always felt a little bit of judgement from this doctor for not being Mormon. read more

Dr Wheatfill has phenomenal dental skills. I moved from another state and was recommended Dr. Wheatfill. I am so happy with his great dental skills. He is very professional, gentle, and kind. His office staff are very nice and professional too. If I could give Wheatfill and staff an 11, I would. Thank you read more

Had a cavity filled and teeth cleaning. Nothing but excellent service. Both Dr. Wheatfill and his staff communicated the whole time. Great office . Check them out. read more

Dr. Wheatfill is the nicest and the most considerate dentist I have ever gone too. He not only meets with you in his office to introduce himself and to let you know his qualifications, he also tells you about his family and how he runs things in his office. And after you have an appointment with him he ALWAYS calls the next day to see how you are doing!! :-) I have NEVER had a dentist do that to me. He is so thoughtful and wants to know if you are ok. He REALLY cares. Plus he is such a gentle dentist. He is so careful not to put you in any pain. I would totally recommend him. Everyone in the office is so friendly from Brenda in the office to Kelly the dental assistant. They are all so nice and so cheerful to everyone. One last thing is that they never tell you that you need more work then you do. They only do what is necessary to your teeth that needs to be done. So happy with my dentist! Also I needed a root canal and he referred me to the best endodontist ever! Thanks Dr. Wheatfil. Here I was scared to get a root canal and it was painless with Dr. Packer. He was awesome. Thanks again. Update! I went in yesterday to get the final filling by Dr. Wheatfil and it took 30 min and I was out of there. Such a great dentist and such a nice man. And then today I got a call asking if everything was ok and how I was doing! Such a nice dental office. All of the gals in there and the hygienist are just awesome! read more

Dr.Wheatfill and his staff are a great team. The team is organized, friendly and Dr. Wheatfill has the great dental skills and knowledges. I always recommend this dentistry to my friends for the zirconia crowns. read more

Excellent dentist. Dr. Wheatfill has worked wonders in my dental care. I recommend him to anyone looking for a competent dentist.

Excellent Dentist and person, highly professional, knowledgeable, and fun. Thank you so much for the very nice staff, Brenda, Cynthia, Fatima, and the wonderful Nour. I had Implant surgery last visit, and it went very well, it was really piece of art dental work! with no negative consequences. Thank you very much, Dr. Richard, and Fatima, you guys are the best team :) read more

Very Friendly Staff n Dr Wheatfill is a Excellent Dentist n makes Follow-Up Call to See how I'm feeling after the Appointment.

Dr. Wheatfall is not your typical dentist. He is straight forward, wants you to focus on prevention, and isn't going to put you on a mega guilt trip if you aren't a perfect flosser. :) He recommends the work that is going to keep your mouth happy and pain-free. Thank you! read more

This is the most attentive dentist I have ever been to! No pain, tells it like it is.He even calls you the next day to make sure everything went well. Older fellow - but really knows his stuff! modern facility. Highly reccomended - and I am not a fan of dentists. read more

As a new patient's you don't know what to expect when changing Dr's after 20 years. I will start by saying that Dr. Wheatfill and his staff are the definition of what integrity, kindness and customer care should be. The detail in care and commitment to service is what sets them a part. My husband and I could go on and on but words can not express the experience we we had and are so happy to have found him. We highly recommend this office to anyone who wants quality service and personal care! Regards, Sonia & Jeff White read more

I haven't had a regular dentist since I left Huntington Beach and my old dentist retired so I've hopped around from place to place the last couple years. I didn't really care for the last few dentists I've seen and saw that Dr Wheatfill was close to my house and accepted my insurance so decided to give him a try. IMPRESSED! Nice clean office in the Kaiser building, everyone is really nice, he brings you into his office to chat before getting to work which is nice & all high tech equipment, not old school like some other places. This is the first place I've been to where they take pictures of your teeth, not with a regular camera but a dental one I guess and show you the problems up close. The sweet lady that did my cleaning spent a whole hour cleaning my teeth. She did such a great job. Some people in the past spend a couple minutes picking, polish and you're out the door but not her, she was sooo good, my teeth feel and look amazing. I have Aetna insurance so I'm not sure about their pricing yet. I'm happy to have found a new dentist close to home! :) read more

Like a child, I put off going to dentist for far longer than I should have, and as a result I developed a very painful abscess in the lower right side. It was so painful that sleep that past couple nights has been impossible. A friend had referred me to Dr. Wheatfill several months ago, and I truly wish I had been more proactive about seeing the Doctor then. Gripped in pain, I called first thing this morning to make an emergency appointment to deal with my issue. I have to say that I was immediately struck by how warm, empathetic and knowledgable the receptionist, Brenda, was with me on the telephone. I have always found it to be true that you can discern a lot about an organization and its leadership by your general impression of the Receptionist and other employees. Brenda made a wonderful impression on me, so I was very hopeful that I had called the right practice for me. It was a very busy day for Dr. Wheatfill, however, Brenda found an early morning spot for me. I was immediately seen by Dr. Wheatfill just a few minutes after my arrival. I liked him immediately because I could tell that he was genuinely very concerned about my suffering, and I also had an immediate sense of comfort and confidence in his intelligence and ability. After one quick Xray, Dr. Wheatfill carefully explained to me my predicament and what needed to be done. He didn't pass me off to any else, but focused all of his attention on me and went to work. The procedure was completed quickly and expertly, all the while he made every effort to minimize or eliminate the pain of my swollen abscessed jaw-line. The procedure was performed perfectly and eliminated my pain quickly. My judgement of any medical practice is based upon the following factors: Knowledge and Skill Genuine concern and empathy Office Environment and Demeanor of employees Respect for the patients time Reasonably priced Dr. Wheatfill scores a perfect 5 stars in all of these categories, and in addition, he went above and beyond the call of duty to take care of someone who is not even one of his regular patients. Well, I certainly consider myself one of his patients now. I am very impressed and grateful. I have more dental work that needs to be addressed, and Dr. Wheatfill's practice is the only dentist office I will consider. Sincerely, Robert Cash McCloy read more

Hands down to Dr. Wheatfill and his team. I was finally able to update my dental insurance just so i can go back and see him. Doctor Wheatfill explains to you step by step what needs to be done and I like that because last place wanted an arm and a leg to do stuff I've never even heard of, didnt even understand the procedures. All I wanted fixed was a broken tooth. Dr wheatfill explained in detail what we can do and keep my mouth healthy. Shouldn't have gone cheap last time with my dental insurance. Lesson learned, and stick with the best. Thanks you guys. The xray technician was awsome and funny which made everything smooth. read more

Dr. Wheatfill is as good as it gets! It's as simple as that. My Husband and I have been taken care of by Dr. Wheatfill for the better part of 20 years now. The veneers were perfectly made, the dental work performed has always been top notch and the attention you receive from Dr. Wheatfill and his Staff make you feel like you're family. We both really appreciate the care and concern he gives during and after visits to make sure everything is ok. We wouldn't go anywhere else! Thank you Dr. Wheatfill! Al and Dezarae Kruegel read more

Dr Wheatfill and staff are just amazing! They are caring and compassionate.

For years due to a bad experience when I was young I have had high anxiety about going to the dentist. I had a good dentist for years but he retired so once again my dentist anxiety came back until I found Dr. Wheatfill and his wonderful staff, it has been several years now that I have been a patient and have never had a bad experience with the doctor. I have had some major work done but he never puts any pressure on you to have work done but will give you some options that he recommends for your dental health. I know Dr. wheatfill will never retire because I won`t let him. Thanks again to the Dr. & all the staff for making my dental health worries a thing of the past. Sincerely Ed McCullough read more

I was referred to Dr. Wheatfill back in 2006 by a coworker and my family and I have been going to him since. He's hands-down the best dentist I've ever had (he's good at his craft and has a great sense of humor!). Any medical, and cosmetic, dental treatments I've had done by Dr. Wheatfill and team were of the utmost quality and precision. Also, I genuinely look forward to my cleaning visits with Kelly. I highly recommend Dr. Wheatfill for dental care. read more

If there is one person I trust to put a drill in my mouth, it would be Dr. Wheatfill. My husband and I have been going to him for over 10 years and we have referred family, friends, and neighbors to him. He is always staying on top of new dental technologies, but still maintains the feel of a family dental office, which I love. The best thing - if I ever have to get anesthesia, Dr. Wheatfill has a magical way of making it painless. His office is clean and his staff is great. Kelly, his dental assistant, has done a great job with cleanings. Brenda, his office manager, is friendly and attentive. I wish I could give him 10 stars! read more

Dr. Wheatfill is the BEST!! You couldn't ask for a more wonderful, caring, compassionate, and skilled dentist!

I was recommended to Dr. Wheatfill by a family member and and so glad I went to his office! Dr. Wheatfill met with me in his office prior to getting started on the exam and we went over my medical history and chief complaints. He took the time to get to know me and told me about his education and experience. It was a completely different experience from my previous dentist's office. The office staff and doctor were welcoming, kind and caring. I had X-rays sent over from my previous dentist's office and they were blurry - I could see it with my own eyes! We took new xrays at Dr. Wheatfill's office and they were much higher quality. Dr wheatfill had state-of-the-art technology and was able to thoroughly image my mouth. I was told my my previous dentist that I needed a root canal and I went to Dr. Wheatfill for a 2nd opinion - boy am I glad I did! Dr. Wheatfill recommenced replacing my current filling before jumping to a root canal...makes me wonder why my previous dentist didn't try that, as they were the ones that performed the filling to begin with. Upon checkout, they took the time to go over costs and explain options with me, something I didn't get at my previous dentist's office either! I left there with a warm fuzzy feeling. This is a quality dentistry office! I'm going to have my husband switch to Dr. Wheatfill ASAP! read more

I went to Dr Wheatfield 25 plus years ago I live on the Central Coast now and have not been able to find a dentist I really felt comfortable with. I am traveling 300 miles just to go back to see him he put some beautiful crowns on my teeth 30 years ago that was knocked out when I was a young girl. I never have been able to find such a caring knowledgeable dentist as he is! I can't wait to get back to see him I will follow up soon. Debbie Lindner read more

I cannot begin to explain how happy I am with my new smile!! Dr. Wheatfill not only did an amazing job and took his time turning my very crooked front teeth into a movie star smile, he explained everything he was doing and made me feel extremely comfortable every step of the way. Dentists have always made me nervous, but I would recommend to absolutely anyone that they should use him. I came all the way from Arizona just to see him! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would, indeed :) read more

For the first time I actually look forward to going to the dentist. I can not recommend him enough! read more

I must start by saying that Dr. Wheatfill is amazing. His staff is just as amazing. So attentive and nice and just always willing to do whatever they can to make you they're priority. I was working at Pavilions about 3 years ago and was looking for a dentist under my insurance plan. Luckily, my manager new exactly who to recommend. I had not been to the dentist in maybe 10+ years and honestly was not thrilled to go to the dentist either. My first appointment was AMAZING hands down. Dr. Wheatfill makes you feel welcomed and is so funny and down to earth. Right away you feel at home. My second appointment I had filings that needed to be done, obviously. I was so scared but Dr. Wheatfill has the magic touch when it comes to numbing. I didn't feel a thing. This here was the moment I realized that he would be my dentist. Im so glad he was recommended to me, and I've definitely recommended him to others and will continue to do so. read more

Dr. Wheatfill and his staff are the BEST! I've been a patient of Dr. Wheatfill's for over seven years and have always been impressed with everyone there. They are ALL so friendly and really care about their patients. Dentistry has come a long way, or maybe it's just Dr. Wheatfill's expertise, but I've never experienced any pain during any procedures (which have included many crowns). I highly recommend this office to anyone and everyone! read more
