    I've been going to Auburn Dental Aesthetics for years and my dental health has been well taken care…read moreoff. Dr. Dan and staff are meticulous in their work. They identify any problems and recommend practical solutions. Recently, I had a 30 year old crown replaced before it really started to do any damage. The temporary crown was perfect as well as the permenant crown, as usual, absolutely no problems. I've had many teeth cleanings, cavities filled, and crowns and I cannot rememeber even one issue. The staff strives for perfection.

    This office is linked to Dental Fountains Excellence in Roseville…read more DO NOT GO IM HAVING TO GET A LAWYER FOR A PROPER REFUND THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF DOCTOR DAN IS A JOKE My review for doctor dan and his staff at his other office . THEBAD REVIEWS ON HERE ARE NOT A JOKE THEY ACT LIKE COMPLETE CHILDREN . (And I'm 24) As a younger patient that was already sketched out by dentists I decided to go here only because my mom told me these were decent people . Overall coming to the office has been complete hell from day one although the doctors are fairly nice and same with the hygienists. The manager Jen has an extremely poor attitude for working at the front of any establishment. I was even told by Jen there was no way to schedule me out a month in advance but after speaking to the doctor first hand I find out that the front desk manager lied , so they sent someone to watch her make the new appointment. Those games are quite frankly very immature for her old age. Lastly I had a temporary that had to be redone a total of 3 times.( not very excellent ) I ended the missing appointment to get my permanent I tried to call no answer, I left a angry message which is quiet deserved after everything and I just got ignored even though they had my permanent tooth . I had to play phone tag for over a day trying to get ahold of these people wondering why they would not answer . Eventually I got through after Jen saying please hold and hanging up multiple times like a child . I finally was like just please give me refund ! Dear Christ man . If you guys don't want me as your patient that's fine especially after I already gave you guys 5,000. I feel like a response or email is sufficient to tell the patient you don't want to serve them . I tried to ask Jen for the tooth she told me that she threw it away , then I still had to hassle her about a refund .But to act as if I'm in the wrong when you have my permanent tooth and money for a unfinished job is ridiculous. If you wanna be treated like trash while paying top dollar come here by all means but don't be shocked when similar things happen... I wish I could show the phone call recording on this to show foul they are as well ... but anyways dont go here or do you'll regret it . They are also very sensitive about the work being done in the office so if something is done improperly you're probably not wrong but these people won't admit to their faults. I will be also reporting them to the dental board for not giving me my permanent.

    Office is located above umpqua bank. There is no signage to indicate this. Large parking lot. Clean…read moreoffice. Friendly staff.

    Appalling dental office. I departed without agreeing to any service, now or in the future, and…read moreupon returning home I immediately logged into my insurer and changed facilities. The good: The dentist Mohammad Anwar was kind, personable, and inspired my confidence with his diagnoses. Nothing he recommended was entirely unexpected or outlandish (financially or otherwise), and very reasonable. Dr. Anwar and his dental assistant were both a pleasure to meet. The bad: Everything else, especially the facility, and front of house staff. Starting with the facility, I am (was) a NEW patient, and new to the area. There is no exterior signage that I can see, and it was some time before I could find the actual office. Nothing guides to look for an unmarked hallway upstairs over a bank. This does not inspire confidence. The facility is dated and looks almost antiquated, from the 70s or 80s. This was unsettling. My xrays were performed in a chair in the HALLWAY in full view of the waiting area. No booth, cubicle or room. This was unsettling. In the treatment room, I laid back on a treatment bed and stared at brown water stained broken ceiling tiles and numerous dead insects and bugs inside of the dirty fluorescent light fixtures. This was unsettling. The treatment room (painted and decorated strictly for children) had three (3) treatment beds and computer stations, as if this was a public clinic treatment area in a public health ward. No curtains or devices closed off the other beds. Fortunately they were unoccupied, but this would have been unsettling. The exam was without a problem and Dr. Anwar and his assistant were friendly and helpful. And then they sent me out to the waiting room, and that's where things really went down hill. The receptionist was nearly maddening in her lack of care, concern and helpfulness to a NEW patient. I was led to her to go over my appointments for the treatment plan. Fair enough, but she asked me to "wait a few minutes" for her to "set it up" -- without explaining what "it" was. I sat and waited. And waited. And waited. Twenty minutes later she called me up to the counter to stand in front of her, and she did two (2) things. Handed me a set of headphones, and pointed me to a monitor on the counter. She said "This is for your privacy" with no explanation as to what was about to happen. Apparently, I had been waiting (unknown to me) to be connected to some kind of Digital Dental Zoom Consultation, with a woman who was also not introduced or explained. I don't even know her name. I adjusted my headset for what I had to presume was going to be some kind of digital conversation, and then when the digital woman was talking numbers / prices, the receptionist handed me a 2 page treatment plan with price modules going down both pages. The woman on the monitor started reeling off these various price options by codes, but noted at the same time various mistakes she saw because as she said she could see I was being assessed a "$98 co pay for future cleaning when it should be covered, etc., it should be $12" and she was prattling off corrections, as well as warranties for crown work and such, work I had not even had 1 minute to SEE or READ, let alone contemplate or decide. Pity I wasn't given that 2 page plan to read during my 20 minute wait for the zoom meeting, hm? I said "I really don't know what you're even talking about yet" to the woman on the monitor. The receptionist printed another page of the dental plan work and handed it to me while the woman was talking to me, so now I'm distracted by two people talking to me at once, one in front of me and one on the screen, while I'm standing in a waiting room with patients behind me. Am I expected to discuss my medical care, treatment options, prices and coverage and copays with an audience behind me listening to me out of boredom? Apparently yes, I am. The only person who's voice was muted and protected was the woman on the monitor. Anything I happened to ask or say would be with an audience. How is that appropriate? I refused to stand there at a counter and be hammered with prices for things I had not even READ yet, so the monitor woman turned me back over to the receptionist to schedule an in-person consult, instead. The receptionist told me my various location options were Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, or Folsom. All a considerable distance from where I work and live. Even traveling to AUBURN for THIS appointment was 45 minutes! Elk Grove is 1.5 hours away from my home. When I expressed confusion she explained none of the work planned would be done in the Auburn office, I was being referred out to a "sister facility" but she didn't explain any of this until I asked for clarification, as if this was just a "minor detail." I folded up the treatment plan, put it my purse, and said I wasn't comfortable with any of this (gesturing at the set-up). I went home and immediately changed providers.
