I did not want to give it 1 star because of the 2 receptionist. I did not want 2 bad apples to affect the Dental practice. The issue with this business is the 2 female receptionist at the front. I have never been treated so poorly and the women are nasty and have a bad attitude. They are borderline rude and I do not know how they have not been replaced. If you can get past the this you're going to be fine. It's just unfortunate that these are the 2 people that are representing the office right when you walk in I've been going to the dentist for decades and I have never ever experienced this poor Customer Service. At the end of the day we are their customer. Dentist are a dime a dozen out here in the Coachella Valley. Good Luck if you decide to pick this business.

I explained to Dr. Nick Baumann that I in fact hate Dentists and that even teeth cleaning is just something I can't stand. Dr. Baumann listened to me and explained that teeth cleaning was done quite differently now and that he assured me it was not painful and I would not be scraped with archaic tools, just the power of water. Every step of the way the Hygienist was kind, calming and very good at her job. It was not painful at all and I will go to get my teeth cleaned every 4 months from now on. This is the best Dentist I have been to in my life and I am no longer afraid. I have just 1 more visit tomorrow to take care of the only 2 issues I have (Yea).

I went in for a cleaning, X-rays and exam. I had a wonderful experience. All the staff are super nice and professional. A perk is that they have same day crowns at this location. That is huge to me. Who wants to wear a temp crown for a week when you can get a crown made while you wait and installed same day. Don't need that now but glad to know it's available. The office is nice and clean. Plenty of parking out front. They take most insurances. I recommend you give them a try.

Dear Dr. Cartter, I am writing to express my deep…read morefrustration and disappointment with the dental implant work performed at your clinic, which in my opinion has been both unreasonably expensive and grossly unreliable. In total, I paid approximately $50,000 for a full-lower dental implants under the assumption that I was receiving high-quality, long-lasting treatment backed by professional integrity and care. However, less that three years after the procedure, the implants have failed not once, but twice. This is completely unacceptable for a procedure of this magnitude and cost. Each time the implants have broken, I have been left not only dealing with the physical pain and inconvenience, but also with an emotional and financial burden that should never have been necessary - especially after paying a premium price for what was supposed to be permanent, top-tier dental work. To make matters worse, when I sought accountablity and assistance from your office regarding these failures, you and your staff have refused to stand by your work. I find this deeply unethical and disappointing. Patients who invest their trust - and signifacant financial resources - in your care deserve better. Frankly, I feel taken advantage of and cheated. I am requesting a full explanation of what went wrong with the procedures and materials used. I sincerely hope you will take this opportunity to do the right thing and restore some faith in your practice. Scott A. Sherman

Last week I had a tooth pulled, and what would normally be my worst nightmare turned into one of the best dental experiences of my life. Dr. Larry Kunkle, D.D.S. was absolutely incredible.
