My dental insurance company isn't providing good dentistries. Not too many dental offices are…read morewilling to take me because they said my insurance paid so little. I finally found one under my dental insurance, it is in Novato, after signing all sort of documents ( also including " not allowed to share my opinion in social media"). This dental group said I need deep clean!? What? And they were being very pushy. They wanted me to sign a 3-deep clean treatments contract. I was not allowed to get a copy if I don't sign a paper said "I acknowledge it. ". There is no way brushing 2 times a day, flossing every night still needs a deep clean. In doubt, I searched dental care in Petaluma. Lucky me, found Dr. Lester. Without insurance, I paid $150. Got x rays, evaluation, and thorough checking , Dr. Lester said I am good to get a dental clean, deep clean is not necessary at all. The hygienist, sweet Debbie was shock that my previous doctor's evaluation in May. She said in her 39 years of experience that there is no way I need deep clean. She took her time to explain all my questions . She said I don't have much plaque or deposit between my teeth. Constantly she asked me if there is any discomfort or any other issue. Walk out with detailed clean and buffed shiny teeth! Happy!

I feel so sad for the sweet Dr. Anastasia Lester. She must not be aware that Debbie the hygienist…read moreis so inappropriate in so many different levels. She is condescending, rude and a total "Karen"! An epitome of a horrible dental hygienist. She started sweet but fake. One of those type, you can tell she will explode in a drop of a pin. I warned her about my sensitivity and she began her "Karen" attitude when I started feeling the pain. She asked me in a condescending sweet fake voice "so, what did your dentist do to clean your teeth when you act like that?" While I was uncomfortably twitching due to the pain of my extremely sensitive teeth. I replied, "my previous dentist gives me anesthesia and proceeds" she said, " well I can't do that, and, who's your old dentist? Is it a private practice?" Why would she give you anesthesia all for the whole mouth? Your tongue will not have any movement. I am thinking, ok, so, she's a dentist she knows what's she's doing. Why am I explaining this to you? She is just oozing with negativity and I started feeling so uncomfortable. Never in my living years of going to the dentist I felt so bad that I had to literally jump out of the chair and wanting to run as fast as I can away from this person. I am flabbergasted at this point. Is that question even relevant? Who is my dentist? Is it a private practice? She started blaming her incompetence on me. Told me she have to cut my session into two parts because I can't sit still and I have severe plaque etc. my old dentist has 5-6 hygienist who are all capable of handling my situation of extreme sensitivity and heavy accumulation of plaque etc without being rude and condescending. She repeatedly continues to say that it's my fault she had to be this way. She told me to take an anti anxiety pill because my stress level is way too high And that the doctor will prescribe me medication and I have to go to a pharmacy to pick it up and come back. It's the last appointment of the day by the way. This woman is nuts. When I told her that my previous dentist in Fremont is a well known top notch dentist. She cut me off by saying "anyway, I have 40 years experience" so, irrelevant. Why is she working her? Who hired this woman? Are people just lucky that they have not encountered her bad behavior. She asks questions and if she doesn't like the answer she retaliates with rudeness. I also scheduled my son's appointment an hour after my estimated time. My son was running late and the front desk manager Laura asked me to call him. When Debbie the "Karen" hygienist came back she told me. Did you read the sign no phones allowed? I said I saw that, but Laura told me to call my son. Then she stood closely with a weird hovering psycho attitude I was forced to hand my phone to one of the dental assistants. The experience is just so off and disgusting. She dragged the doctor back in and presented me with a bill of how much it will cost and still have not began anything and when she did. She splattered a numbing liquid on my tongue which caused more unpleasant feelings. I told her I want to go and she changed her voice from psycho to psychotic times 20 fake concern voice. "Have you not have a numbing cream given to you before?" I said I have but not like how you gave it to me, burning my tongue!" Laura tried to book me again for a new session with Dr. Lester. As I drove away. I feel so bad and embarrassed for this person's behavior. I will just pay someone else that's much more deserving. Bad employee ruins businesses. So bad So sad Poor Dr. Anastasia Lester I feel bad for her for having Debbie on her team.

So disappointed in our family's experience here. This was our second visit for our child. Our first…read morevisit was complimentary due to a promotion. At that time, I went over our insurance information in detail with the front desk staff. I was told that although our insurance was out of network, it would fully cover cleanings and basic visits. We returned on 2/11/26 for our 16-month-old's appointment. The staff brought us back, asked a few questions, and the dentist examined and counted my child's teeth. That was the entirety of the visit, which was fine and expected for their age. However, when we were leaving, the front desk charged my husband $97. I was surprised by the cost given the brief nature of the visit and confused about why our insurance hadn't covered it. Since we hadn't been in since August 2025, I assumed perhaps our coverage had changed in the new year. Something didn't sit right, so I called the office the next day. I was told they had not run our insurance and had charged us directly instead. They were aware of the mistake. While I understand mistakes happen, what concerns me most is that the office was aware of the error but did not reverse the charge, notify us, or apologize. I can't help but wonder whether we would have ever received a refund had I not called. Mistakes happen in any business, but how they are handled matters. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling uneasy about the office's transparency and communication. I have requested that any future appointments be canceled, as we no longer feel our values align.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Reyda and his amazing staff in Rohnert Park. He has…read morebeen my dentist since I first began taking care of my teeth, and I honestly wouldn't want to be treated by anyone else. When I first came to him, I was very low income, with poor dental hygiene and many issues. He never judged me--he simply welcomed me as a patient and, with his team, carefully worked step by step to save my teeth. Over the years, I've seen a huge improvement not only in my smile, but also in my overall quality of life. Dr. Reyda is so kind, patient, and skilled--truly a blessing to have as a dentist. His staff is equally wonderful, from the front desk (Alyson is amazing!) to the assistants and hygienists. They are always professional, compassionate, and make every visit comfortable. I am deeply thankful for the care I've received here. If you are looking for a dentist who treats you with respect, kindness, and genuine care, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Reyda and his team.

And for years I was happy with the way I was treated, the quality of care, and the non-toxic materials that she uses. However, in the last year there were three different incidents that occurred that made me feel very uncomfortable and as a result I am no longer a patient there. First, she gave me epinephrine after I specifically asked her not to and I had a really terrible reaction to it that took me months to recover from. She claims she didn't hear me even though I was sitting right next to her (and have been requesting no epi for yrs). She tried to defend her decision which was so inappropriate considering I'm the patient and made a very clear verbal request for no epi. Another time she treated me quite roughly during a treatment and when I tried to address this with her she did not apologize and just kept making the same excuse, leaving me feeling completely dismissed. And when I asked for her opinion on braces vs Invisalign she was quite stern with me saying she would only recommend Invisalign and wouldn't even hear me out or consider that my needs might not match her general knowledge/opinion (I also ended up getting braces and did very well with them despite her many warnings). After these incidents I realized her recommendations were all very general and never really considered my unique needs and sensitivities which is precisely what a holistic practitioner is supposed to do. So sadly I stopped feeling safe there and will not be returning.

The needle and the drill are scary. He pulled it together, and yes- he needed a minute to get there. He thanked them both at the end. This is not a family practice, and I would say also not a place if you aren't stoked to visit the dentist.

Out of all the dentists that have worked on me, Dr. Araujo and her team are Grade A. Their smaller office makes the experience more intimate, getting to know the staff and make actual connections. She is honest and does the work that is NEEDED, not just chasing the money. I just had a filling redone yesterday and I was in and out within an hour...which is impressive given it was a lower molar second from the back needing several anesthetic injections. Yes, appointments are a bit tough (scheduling couple weeks out) but it's understandable given the time, attention and effort they give to each patient. That and from short staffing which is NOT their fault, blame COVID if anything. I've got another and a crown to be done and for the first time in a long time, I'm not dreading the dentist!
