I've always had a fear of dentistry since my childhood experience getting dental work done. I get…read moreanxiety when i think about having to get numbed up. When i got to this office, everything changed for me. Dr Franklin is an expert on what he does. He is gentle when it comes to numbing and he is efficient in his work. His hygienist love what they do and do a great job with making the patients feel comfortable. The ladies that work up front are awesome! They are always cheerful and do what they can to accommodate you when life comes up. They will call to check on you after work is done. The vibe is very patient focused. It started with just me as a patient. Now my whole family comes to this office. My kid even mentioned how painless the process was. If you're lucky enough to get in, you will see what i mean.

I feel Lodi Family Dentistry was a very disappointing experience for me…read more On Thursday, April 11, 2024, I went to Lodi family dentistry, hoping to get some relief from an excruciating pain coming from my lower jaw. I was taking a shot with them because I'm new in the area and just took the first dental office who could take me. I was happy with the initial customer service as they accommodated me by seeing me a day earlier than my scheduled appointment. The initial exam with Xrays and assessment went well. However, when the dentist couldn't find where my pain was coming from, I was given a referral and antibiotics and told they would call for me. Once I got up from the chair, I was given the number to call myself and the door. No one helped me with the follow-up. I was in so much pain, and no one bothered to help me with the next steps. I left work with extreme pain, hoping to get help. Instead, I got a routine exam that used up my insurance visit for nothing. Feeling dejected and still in pain, I walked into the clinic next door and asked if they could see me and they said they could offer only similar services as Lodi Dental and recommended I seek the specialist they provided. The receptionist there called around and tried to see when was the soonest I could be seen at a few local specialists in the area and apologized that Lodi Dentistry did not help me further. I feel Lodi Dentistry left a patient unattended. Why was this? I'm not sure, but as a Black man, new to the area, in extreme pain, and a person who holds a doctorate in education, I feel my judgment in situations are pretty accurate. I'm a director of diversity, equity, and inclusion and sit on the legislative board for the state. I called back before I walked next door, but they apparently went to lunch right after I walked out of the door. Was there lunch more important than my pain? Whatever the reason, I feel this was a missed moment. I was looking at getting braces through them, but seeing how they couldn't care for me when I needed them most felt very uncomfortable, allowing them to have long-term care for me. No one called to check on me, and this was truly disappointing. I ended up going to Kaiser and received some pain medication to help me until the specialist could see me. There are literally over a dozen offices on the same block as Lodi Dentistry, and I will definitely never return there and recommend that any person of color find someone else to do business with. Look at their website. There are no people of color there. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

I came here because I have major anxiety about the dentist and was referred by one of my own patients, hoping for understanding and care. Later, when I called because I was in serious pain, he prescribed Motrin, which I already take. When I explained that, he said he couldn't prescribe anything stronger because he wasn't sure how it would interact with Trazodone -- a medication I clearly listed in my chart as one I'm allergic to. That was a huge red flag showing he hadn't even read my chart. Instead of admitting his mistake, he became dismissive and made me feel like I was seeking drugs instead of real pain relief. I was made to feel beneath the people he normally serves -- even though I work just as hard as anyone else and have excellent insurance. I don't understand why I had to be treated differently. I'm not saying don't go here -- maybe he treats others better -- but my experience was unprofessional, disappointing, and left me feeling disrespected.

Dr. Payne listened very closely and addressed all of my concerns while taking into consideration my medical history. I was able to get in for the extraction 2 weeks later (1/19). I'm not even 48 hours post extraction and I have not had any pain, and very minimal swelling and discomfort (manageable with ibuprofen/Tylenol). Dr. Payne called me the evening of the procedure to check in on me. I had a terrible previous experience with an oral surgeon in Elk Grove with my bottom wisdom teeth, so I was not expecting such a smooth and easy recovery. I am so happy I went through with it and that I was recommended to Dr. Payne.

Not sure if it the ADHD or just in general I'm a figgety person but also don't like my mouth being worth on. Very sensitive teeth. Anyways that out of the way, the front desk was super nice. The lobby was decent size not cramped, just right and some photos on the way. I had a slight wait from my appointment time. It wasn't much, but a staff member kept me up to date on time frame. Like 15 or 10 mins. I mean it wasn't bad. Now let's get to the dentist, * Pratik Makadia* , super nice guy, laid back, not to judgemental , just enough to help me get motivated to take care of my teeth better, but a super nice easy way of doing it. Highly recommend him if you do go. Now the visit itself, scared and crawling out of my skin. But the staff was super nice and friendly, and quick about things. They had a lot of cool tech stuff the when I was a kid well, never was around , and the tech just wasn't there. I'm in my 40s just fyi. The lady at the end of my visit went over all my bad teeth and costs, ouch. lol. But I knew I haven't been to the dentist in soooo long. But anyways, I really recommend you trying this place out. Not sure why it has a 3 ish star rating. So far I think they are very friendly, quick with their work but not crazy fast there in a hurry. Try them out, get that exam done. I go back next week for a cleaning.

I do my research before trying a business especially for my healthcare. I came in as a new patient and it turns out I had to get a root canal and crown to fix my issue. No problem, I had one before with my longtime dentist but he was Retired so I tried oak tree dentistry. The Dr I met with I didn't catch his name he was partially bald, rushed through my diagnosis didn't explain much of anything but let me know I needed the root canal, we scheduled it I came back and I was met with a completely different dr. A woman she was of Indian descent wasn't listed on the website as a dr there I was very confused but trusted them. It was the most painful root canal I was there for over 3 hours mouth open getting worked on. My temp tooth fell out 2 times while waiting for my crow to come in. Till this day a year later the tooth is still sensitive. Very unfortunate my original dentist really set the bar, my first root canal was so fast so smooth so painless so this was a COMPLETE SHOCK.
