Update 5.17.09 Interesting how two 5 star reviews popped up here...cool! Idea...reread my review and update. Seriously, why in the heck would I have a dentist perform a deep gum tissue cleaning when it is NOT necessary? FYI... the sad visit here was a huge part of my dentist traumatizing. It was definitely not an experience I'd wish anybody. And there are more disturbing issues that happened here. I'll be happy to elaborate on those issues as well in the future. Those issues are Dental Board worthy. __________________________________ Written 5.12.09 It is time to elaborate a little further regarding my crummy visit to this office. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ One of the first things Asmita Dharia (dentist) told me was that I needed a deep tissue gum cleaning. Interesting because she had not even looked into my mouth. Seriously. She told me that via the x-rays she determined that. I didn't buy it. Sadly, I have a lack of medical professional trust. Yet, I happily questioned the deep tissue gum cleaning. I also told her several past dentists have told me I have some of the strongest and healthiest gums that they have seen. She then poked my gums a couple times and told me they were in good shape. Hmmm, imagine that. Yay...$$$avings of a lot of moola; no painful deep tissue gum cleaning. She also told me I had a cavity. Of course I didn't believe that either. Thank goodness because as per an appointment with another dentist, I learned there was no cavity. She intentionally poked a blister in my mouth. She poked the sharp instrument so hard that I had to yell at her to stop. It's pretty disturbing to have to yell...while she had a sharp instrument in my mouth. Wow. That pain-infliction was appalling and absolutely unnecessary. The entire visit here was strange and frustrating. There were far too many waits between the cleaning and examination procedures...up to 15-20 minutes of waiting. It seemed like the dentist juggled seeing multiple patients at a time, which I do not care for a bit. The x-ray and cleaning process took over two hours. Dear medical people, Your patient's time is just as valuable as yours. There are more very unsettling issues that happened here. Take this info for what you want. I am simply doing my Yelp job. Hey, I take my job seriously. I do. Please be your own advocate, folks. I truly recommend second opinions regarding all dental procedures. You can $urely $ave your$elf a lot of $$$. Another tidbit: If a dentist gets defensive when you question a procedure, that is not a good sign. A great dentist will be cool with elaborating on a recommended dental procedure. read more

I absolutely love Dr Dhillon, I come from Antioch to see her. She is so great and honest. I am a fearful patient and she has been nothing but amazing. I went 6 yrs with out seeing a dentist and she was very respectful of my fears and addressed each issue (9 cavities, a root canal/crown, and deep cleaning) with patients and understanding. I highly recommend her and her staff. read more

I love this dentist! The receptionist is fabulous & explains everything you need to know. That's especially good for me as I am new to handling my own insurance. They make you sure you understand everything before they do anything. They also are very helpful with payment arrangements. Dentists can be expensive! These guys have great & reasonable prices. I feel very comfortable here. I always loved going to the dentist(I know weird, right). Then I had some bad work done & it was all down hill. Thank God I found this dentist. They restored my faith in Dentists & took away all fears! Dr. Dhillon is the best! I would definitely recommend her to all. I carry their business cards with me & give them to people if they ask me about a good dentist! read more

She has the patience of a saint. For some reason I always fall asleep. She works with that and remains highly professional when the block pops out of my mouth. Always warm and caring. She has done amazing work. I went in with 3 infected teeth needing root canals. She prescribed a good, strong antibiotic to combat the infection. She has done good work on the teeth that need it. She can see when I hit my limit and she has been working around that. I go in for my 3 crowns next Friday. She is helping me have better oral hygiene. read more

Dr. Mona is incredible! I had neglected going to the dentist for a couple of years and ended up having to get a root canal and a couple cavities filled. Dr. Mona made the entire process painless! She explained to me my different options and took care of the problem all in one visit. Even though I live in Sacramento now, I still travel all the way to Livermore just to see her. She was very caring, helpful, knowledgable too. I highly recommend Dr. Mona! read more

What brought me to Dr. Dhillon was a cracked Crown due to a head-butt from my very rambunctious Schnuazer puppy, a couple weekends ago! I didn't realize how bad it was until I had a sip of Iced Tea and almost buckled from the pain that emanated from my tooth! I immediately called my regular Dentist, but since it was a Friday evening I wasn't able to reach him. So I called his answering service and left an urgent message for him to call me back! Well after 2 hours of waiting and not knowing what the outcome would be I called 1-800 Dentist who immediately went to work to find me a highly recommended Dentist who would be able to see me first thing Saturday morning and Dr. Sonia Dhillon came up. I confirmed with such apprehension because I don't know her and second, I am terrified of dentists. However, because of the situation I couldn't wait and had to resolve the issue at hand...and rid myself of the Brain piercing pain I was feeling from this tooth! When I showed up at her office, I was a nervous wreck...but 10min. with Dr. Dhillon and she had me at ease and had brought down my anxiety level from a 10 to a 5! She was very gentle...understanding and empathetic to my concerns. By the end of the visit we had completed a Root Canal and had a Veneer ordered! Also, we had scheduled a couple appointments for next month to address some older Crowns I have that need to be replaced. After that visit, I have decided to make her my permanent Dentist...since, my regular Dentist didn't return my call until Sunday! Dr. Sonia Dhillon is amazing and her staff is knowledgeable, patient and just as kind and understanding as she is. I definitely recommend her, especially to those of us who are terrified of Dentists...she definitely will change your mind, take care of your teeth and leave you feeling less fearful and in my case looking forward to my next appointment with her. Brave new smile! ;-D read more

I had a great experience with the DR she's quick and answers all my concerns witch makes me feel better.

I took my 4 year old for her first check up. A dentist visit is normally a very traumatic experience for most, (especially me) and they were very nice, professional, explained everything in advance. I am changing my dentist and recomending Dr. Dhillon to everyone. read more

Dr. Dhillon is so professional, friendly and honest. She really lets you know what is worth investing in for your oral care and is honest with her patients. I have enjoyed switching over to being her patient and her staff is also amazing. I value how informed she kept me during our treatment plan. read more

By far most expensive and worst customer experience ever. They constantly reschedule and say you didnt show up and with the lovely attitude the assistant has i finally had enough. My grandfather rents the building out to her and im the last of my family to even try coming to get my insurance drained and pay 1000 for a chipped tooth. My grandfather said they always get shut down for sanitary reasons. Be careful read more

Dr. Sonia took immediate care of the tooth that was causing a lot of pain. The process was smooth and she attended to me quickly and efficiently. She is very friendly and answers any questions that we may have, in a straight forward manner.we would recommend Dr.Sonia to anyone who needs a teeth care. read more

Dr. Dhillon and team have been great! After losing my insurance and getting back on they were super helpful and kept up treatment! Always so kind and helpful! read more

Dr. Dillon is such a saint. I saw her for the first time in SF on a Friday because I had what I thought was a broken filling. Due to previously bad dental work I actually had to get a root canal and a new crown. Because I was leaving the next day on a red-eye to Hawaii for 2 weeks she was nice enough to fit me in the next day so that I wouldn't have to suffer the entire time I was gone. Dr. Dillon and her assistant made the root canal and new crown as painless as those two things can be. They constantly checked in with me during the procedure to make sure that I was ok and that I didn't feel anything. It is now one day later and I feel as good as new! Thank you so much to the whole practice for your excellent level of care and hospitality! read more

After having a few bad experiences with dentists in Livermore a friend recommended me to Dr. Sonia Dhillion and I was able to get an appointment in the same week. Dr. Dhillion and her staff where extremely friendly and I could tell they where trying to make me as comfortable as possible the whole time which was a breath of fresh air for someone who does not love going to the dentist! They walked me through the entire process and explained everything in depth so I didn't leave confused about the procedure, or cost it was great having everything transparently laid out for me! I would definitely recommend Dr. Dhillion to anyone that is looking for a dentist that actually cares about you, and your teeth she is great and does a phenomenal job! read more

Dr. Dhillon is the best! She definitely cares about her patient care and the work she does and her staff is always amazing as well. I will definitely use her for dentistry needs. read more

Dr. Dhillon is awesome! She's so sweet and stayed open late to make sure I got all of the procedures I needed! She's very professional and caring too. The staff are helpful, friendly and knowledgable too. I recommend Dr. Dhillon for sure! read more

Dr. Dhillon, is amazing! She truly cares about what is best for her patients. Her quality of dentistry is incredible, I have had some major dental work that had to be done, the result of chemotherapy, I am thrilled with the end results. Dr. Dhillon and her staff are very nice and make sure you are comfortable at all times. They also explain all financial costs and are extremely helpful and understanding regarding your individual finances. I am thankful I found Dr. Dhillon and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a great Dentist! Natalie Bianco read more

I have had nothing but wonderful experiences at Dr. Dhillon's office. I have five children, all of them felt comfortable and at ease with her. I had two cavities filled and a deep cleaning today and the experience was great considering my fear of dental work. No pain, she's fast and does high quality dental work. The office staff has always been warm and welcoming, and Dr. Dhillon herself is warm, caring and compassionate which I find to be highly desirable qualities in a dentist. She checked in regularly with me to make sure I was comfortable. The office also does their best to work with you on out of pocket portions of the dental work. Ultimately, I experienced a level of care at this office that was far beyond anything I have experienced anywhere else. You can feel the good vibe when you know someone truly cares, and that is what I experienced with Dr. Dhillon and her office staff. I will definitely be returning. Much Love. read more

It's now nearly 2020 and I've seen 4 dentists every 6 months since seeing this one and not a single one has suggested I have any cavities. I'm not sure how numerous exams and x-rays show nothing near what this dentist insisted was a set of 5 cavities. read more

Worst experience ever! Dr. Dhillon is not empathetic or caring at all. Her receptionist-Adrianna has the worst attitude ever, speaking to you in a demeaning manner. Do yourself a favor and find another dentist and avoid Dr. Dhillon by all means. Oh and if you ask for a copy of your XRAY they will refuse to see you, the medical board was not impressed when I let them know of this behavior. Sorry to break it to you Dr. Dhillon- it's time you and your staff work on your people skills. Perhaps dentistry was not the best career choice when you lack empathy. read more

I have been going to Dr. Dhillon, for many years now, first time was back when I was a child. She is very kind and friendly. Explains the procedure beforehand and makes the process less frightening and painless as posible. She takes great care of her patients. Would recommend! read more

Had an appointment to fix my chipped tooth on the day I called and two days later they were able to fix it. The experience with Sonia and the staff was amazing. Adrianna is so polite as the receptionist. I really like Sonia. She communicates every thing she's about to do and checks in often to make sure I was okay even the channel the tv was on. Her assistants, Tasha and Elizabeth, were friendly and courteous too. I know people don't like going to the dentist but Sonia and staff provided a pleasant dentist visit. read more

Dr. Dhillon is my favorite dentist! From regular check-ups to specialized work, she has been helpful, competent, and kind during every appointment. I'm always surprised the whole team remembers me when I come back for follow-up appts. etc. When I needed a new cap, Dr. Dhillon helped negotiate with my insurance to make it super affordable. Overall, Livermore Family Dentistry is a great place to get work done for all ages. read more

Very professional and friendly atmosphere. Best dentist in town. In and out with no wait.

The staff here is PHENOMENAL!!!! I had an appointment and got in about ten mins! Everything was timely professional and dare I say pleasant (not something you hear a lot with a dentist) but We found our new dentist! Thank you everyone for a great experience! read more

Dr. Dhillon and her staff were very nice to my boyfriend and I. They were diligent in their work and Dr. Dhillon seemed to really care about me and my teeth health. Definitely recommend her practice! read more

I'll make this brief and to the point. I developed an infection under a previously installed crown. It became very painful early on a Saturday morning so I looked for a local dentist to initially diagnose and treat as best as possible in an emergency. I didnt check any Yelp reviews I just chose this dentist on convenience and availability to address my needs asap. I called to set up an appointment, approximately 9:00am. The person on the phone was pleasant and scheduled a time for me to come in. I arrived a bit early but I checked in anyway. The place is quaint. It appeared clean and orderly at first impression so that made me feel good. The receptionist in my opinion was pleasant but I feel she should learn a little bit more people skills. Maybe she's just a bit young and inexpereinced but nonetheless, needs to be aware and a little less condesending in tone. The dentist Dr. Sonia was a very sweet lady. She greeted me warmly and I got the impression from her that she was sincerely interested in making me comfortable. We discussed the X-Rays, she gave me her recommendation and advise in further treatment. What I liked is that she gave me options on imminant needs and so forth. Options are good, but because money is very tight for me and everyone else these days I just couldn't start with the major work that needs to be done until I can save up for it. Dr. Dhillon then wrote me two prescriptions, one for pain the other an antibiotic to clear the infection. I can say that she hepled me with my initial issue and because of my experience with her I will be returning as soon as I can for the work I need done. I must also mention that the dental assistent was a very sweet and kind young woman. She also made my experience there a positive one. I can't remeber her name but she was very cool to converse with. Good job to those I was in contact with. Worth a visit for sure. read more

My entire family has been seeing Dr. Dhillon for five years now. None of us have any complaints to report. In the last few years, I've acquired major anxiety over the dentist. To the point that I put off going in to fill four cavities that were found in December of 2009. Last month, after noticing a brown spot on one of my teeth, I decided it was time to go in. I scheduled a general check up. They're open on Saturday and Sunday to accommodate us who have school and work during the week. So I went in for the exam, but didn't mention anything about anxiety. After the exam, she told me the four cavities from last year were still an issue, plus one new one, and a cavity filled by a dentist about 8 years ago was leaking. After explaining everything and answering my questions, she asked if I had anxiety issues around the dentist and if the filling/drilling procedure would be an issue for me. I was quite amazed by this, it shows she's very in tune and observant with her patients. So after establishing I would have issues with the fillings, she discussed in detail what my options were and what the copayment would be. I decided to go with a low dose of Xanax and squeezing what would typically be two procedures into one so it can just be done and over with. I will be going in to have the six cavities filled in a few weeks on a Sunday morning so I can sleep off the Xanax afterwards. I've always felt confident in Dr. Dhillon. And her compassion never seizes to amaze me. She always takes the time to ask me how school is going as well as how my dad and little brothers are doing. She just seems to genuinely care about your wellbeing and comfort while in her hands. I hope my dental insurance never changes so I don't have to go to anyone other than Dr. Dhillon. And I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great dentist. read more

This is the worst dental office I have ever been to! It is absolutely filthy. The carpet, chairs, even the door frames leading into the rooms from the waiting area are black! A dirty waiting room. ..really? The staff including Dr dhillon are condescending and snooty. They have been rude in person and on phone. Is it because they accept dentical? They think they are better than their clients? I would give them a zero if I could. STAY AWAY! read more

STAY AWAY I need three filling, but this dentist will not do them until I pay $500.00 for teeth cleaning. WTF most dentist only charge $90.00. read more

I went to the doctor Sonia Dhillon to remove my wisdom tooth. The doctor did it extra fast and my healing was fast too and without much discomfort/pain for me. I believe Dr. Dhillon is the very professional specialist, besides she is really nice lady, also her prices are lower than in other dental clinics. read more

I do not like Sonia Dhillon at all! She tortured me! I believe it is her way to force people to do what she suggested. In my case it was root canal. She had applied some kind stuff and it was really painful, I told to dr. Dhillon that it hurts! You think she stopped to do that? No! She applied 4!!! more times. I guess she just want make sure that I believe that I do have severe problems. I have not even leave the chair when an assistant approached me and ask when do I like to make an appointment. Seriously? End of the story: I went to see another dentist and as you can predict she did not find any other problem except regular cavity which can be easy to fix without doing root canal. read more

I have been to Dr. Dhillon a handful of times, and now my husband is also a patient of hers. I have had positive experiences with cleanings, exams, fillings, and crowns, and he had his wisdom teeth extracted and was back at work the next day. The office staff is really good about confirming appointments and moving them if our work schedule changes and I really appreciate it! As for Dr. Dhillon, we appreciate her straight-to the point answers and her honesty about what work is needed! read more

Great Dentist. First needed services on the weekend which is when most dentists are closed. Anyway got that problem taken care of fast. I have had additional work and found rescheduling easy and a day or two early. The additional work I've scheduled comes with a predictable schedule and plenty of time to pay the bill. I haven't had anything but pleasant surprises. read more

I love this dentist. she always gets me in the same or next day. I have not taken very good care of my teeth and she has been there to help. Dr Dhillon is very gentle after she gives me my anesthesia she massages it in and does not use to much. She was on vacation a few weeks ago and i could not wait for her to come back to get a tooth pulled so i went to western dental up the street. oh was that a mistake! never again will i go there but she is back now and last week I went back and did my next extraction. I need someone to keep on top of me to get all these things fixed and without being a bother or pesky they call me to see how I am doing if I am ready for the next stage of treatment or not. they are just great I feel like they really care and go above and beyond. read more

First impression is everything and I am very impressed with everything. Clean office, polite and happy staff. And they are not pushy about a procedure. Dr Dhillon explained everything and asked me what I wish to do and when. I will recommend her to everyone. read more

From the moment you make an appointment with Dr. Dhillon you feel at ease. I spoke both to Adriana and Anabell and they are both professional and caring. My husband was in so much pain due to a wisdom teeth and Dr. Dhillon was caring enough to schedule us asap. Dr. Dhillon is one of the most caring dentist I have encounter. She explained very clearly the procedure and post op instructions. I would recommend her any time. read more

Dr. Dhillon's staff was inviting, friendly, and offered me water upon my arrival. There is ample parking available outside, and I was seen within minutes of my scheduled appointment. I am very weary of choosing dentists due to poor experiences in the past. Dr. Dhillon's staff took great care during the x-ray process and made those few minutes as comfortable as can be. Regarding the actual cleaning, Dr. Dhillon did a complete deep cleaning of my teeth. I had not seen a dentist in almost 2 years and Dr. Dhillon took her time in measuring my gums, meticulously cleaning my teeth, and leaving my mouth feeling cleaner than ever. She provided some tips and was very easy to speak with both before, during, and after the visit. It is not easy to find a good dentist, and I think anyone who doesn't visit Dr. Dhillon is doing their own teeth and smile a disservice. I drove 30 miles from the East Bay to visit Dr. Dhillon, and look forward to returning in 6 months! Thank You read more

I called 1-800-dentist because I needed to replace some crowns and did not want my current dentist to do it--bad experiences for both me and my husband. Dr. Dhillon and her staff are very good and helping patients get comfortable. Their professionalism is up-front and they explain everything in good detail, with expected outcome clearly understood--even the not-so-good side. Of course we talked about a whole range of procedures, from cheap to expensive. I opted for the more expensive ones just because I want to age gracefully with a twinkle in my eye and nice teeth. read more

I love this dentist! Since 2009, the level of care my children.and I receive from her and tasha, the rda, has been outstanding.
