Sometimes you forget that dentist's are like, SUPER interesting people…read more It was my first time here and I came for a routine check in and cleaning. Right away, I was greeted with a great smile. The lady at the front desk was clearly busy, but that didn't stop her from being attentive and friendly. Lovely welcome desk. As soon as I'm called back, I'm greeted by another friendly smile ( I believe "Maria"), and she tells me that she will be the one taking care of my X-Rays and photos. She was eager to chat, and even gave me some really interesting insight into their new camera system. Another lovely person. I'm then greeted by the lady who will be doing my cleaning, as well as Dr. Amethyst Schlecht. Dr. Amethyst Schlecht is very well spoken and engaging. She had a knowledgeable answer for every question, and never made me feel uncomfortable. Her inspection was quick but thorough, and I walked away feeling like the visit was comprehensive. The female dentist who did my cleaning (I'm bad with names, sorry!) was extremely friendly and equally as knowledgeable. I hadn't been to the dentist in years, so she really needed to put some work into the cleaning. However, she managed to keep it comfortable and basically pain free--other than the usual tugging and poking that is necessary. I think my favorite part was how everyone seemed super happy and eager to share knowledge with me. Every question was met with an answer. I felt like I was talking to enthusiasts, not just bored people at a job they never wanted. Perfect first time experience. Looking forward to coming back in 6 months! Cheers

They will tell you one thing a month or two prior (as I had to "wait for the specialist" and my…read moreschedule), then show up for a crown in my file, with the specialist to look at my tooth (15 minutes after my appointment time), but I couldn't get a crown as he recommended I need a root canal, she (Dr. Amethyst) recommended I should do a root canal or replacement/fake tooth at $1500+. I took a day off work to make the appointment (to have a crown) but Dr. Amethyst didn't even remember me (READ MY FILE) probably worried about making more money to support her son going to OU (Oklahoma University) to play golf and her last minute flight planes to watch him play (yes I am in the business to remember people). The people in the office are awesome, like Rochelle that assisted me today when I paid my tab to leave. Good Luck to Dr. Rice and his practice. I won't be back! I'd rather go to Western Dental!

Dr. Smith lied to me and thinks I am dumb because I am in my 20s. He charged me tons of money to my…read moreinsurance without informing me of the cost. Furthermore, his staff told me I would not be charged for an Xray as I stated multiple times I ALREADY HAD ONE and could have sent it to him. They did it saying I wouldn't be charged it and didnt ask my permission (xrays increases chances of cancer) and went ahead and did the xray and then billed my insurance. Thats something called malpractice. He also insisted on having me see his partner dentist so he can make more money. He has does not have the best interest in my mouth; rather only his wallet. Have fun with my insurance Dr. Smith. It will be your last payment from me unless you refund me FULLY. Update: I spoke to Dr. Smith's staff and they refused to help and was disrespectful on the phone. They said they have to document everything they do with my insurance. They informed me AFTER THEY BILLED MY INSURANCE. Dr. Smith is a great caregiver for his wallet; not for you

We liked MD smith - at first. The cost/ estimates for their services are quite high. Luckily my…read moreinsurance changed and MD Scott is out of network and I had to seek out an alternative periodontist and found Roy Morita in Modesto. My husband just had the surgery MD Scott estimated for $10,200 bucks (insurance would only cover 2k so it would have been 8,200 out of pocket) and required scapel and gum "flapping" for deep cleaning. MD Morita cost $6,400 for the same surgery performed with lasers and insurance covered all but $1,500. Healing has been quick and basically pain free. MD Morita used to do scapel gum surgeries and said my husband would not have tolerated the surgery much less the healing pain of a gum flap. MD Smith is a good MD and his staff was extremely friendly and capable - but the techniques are not updated and the costs are really high.

As a veteran, I hold businesses to a basic standard of respect and professionalism -- neither of…read morewhich I experienced here. I was charged $75 for an appointment that they asked me about while sitting in the dental chair. When I questioned it, I was met with a cold, dismissive, and borderline rude response(plenty of emails). No willingness to listen, no accountability -- just an inflexible attitude and a "policy is policy" tone. I wasn't a longtime patient, but I had considered becoming one. After this experience, I wouldn't recommend this office to anyone. If this is how they treat new patients -- especially a veteran -- I can only imagine what's in store long-term. There's a reason they're sitting at a 3.9. I should've taken that as a warning. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRACTICE!!!!

Over one year and a half! My new dentist told me that the pain will very likely persists for years and nothing can be done at this point. Dr. skinner told me that I am sensitive to fillings. He tried to explain that different teeth respond differently to dental work at different ages, because my another dental filling done many years ago never sensitive. But, I recently got fillings done in China and NONE of them are sensitive and painful. ALL the fillings done here were sensitive and painful! So, it is HIS fillings that are sensitive and painful but NOT I am sensitive to dental work! After his fillings, I have seen a couple dentists for pain and even flied 18 hours to the other side of the world to seek solutions. Jesus, nobody can stay calm with such annoying pain and sensitivity for over one year and a half, very likely two, three or more years. Well, I will definitely give them zero if can.
