The only downfall is the receptionist was a bit loud when asking personal questions. They could work on discretion. The reception desk is close to lobby so anyone can hear what your being asked. I'd rather not have people hear. Most dental offices I've been in are very quiet when asking same questions.

I've been going to various dentists at this office for about 3ish years now. I randomly developed…read morehigh dental anxiety after I started coming to this office (not to blame them). As a 28 year old who has been to the dentist for cleaning every 6 months for over 20 years, I don't know why this started. I have been very open about my dental anxiety with this office and I know it is listed on my patient profile as well. My anxiety is so intense that they usually only do the bare minimum for cleaning, because that's all I can handle. I've never been prescribed anti anxiety medication for these appointments. They are not very compassionate towards my feelings when I come in. This is the only office that has ever pushed me to remove my wisdom teeth. As I finally decided to, I was told I would be put under general anesthesia. When I got there for the procedure, I was told 5 minutes before the procedure, that I would not be completely under or asleep the whole time. As someone who already has serve anxiety, this was super scary and I had no time to prepare. I woke up multiple times throughout the wisdom teeth removal and was in intense panick mode. When I woke up after the procedure was completed the nurse who was in the room with me, excessively repeated "breath through your nose and open your eyes" in frustrated/rude tone. I was trying to breath through my nose but was struggling to stop hyperventilating at the same time. And my eyes were already open. I tried to clam down so I could leave as soon as possible. I felt that while this office may be good for the general patient, if you have any sort of elevated dental anxiety, I would NOT recommend coming here. They just don't seem to be as compassionate as I wish they would be and they almost seem annoyed that I experience this uncontrolable anxiety. I cannot speak on their services because I feel mine are done a bit differently than the average persons (due to the anxiety that I experience)

What should have been a simple cavity filling turned into a frustrating series of visits. During…read morethe first appointment, Dr. Tapang did not use the standard blue bite-check paper and was unusually rough throughout the procedure. He also accidentally got filling material on a neighboring tooth, which caused them to stick together--he corrected it with a great deal of pressure and discomfort. When I expressed that the tooth still felt rough, my concern was brushed off. At the second visit, he finally used the bite-check paper but seemed rushed and dismissive. The tooth continued to hurt afterward. It wasn't until the third visit that he took an X-ray, adjusted the filling properly, and explained things more clearly. Still, instead of acknowledging the earlier issues, he implied that I might be overly sensitive. To make matters worse, the office rescheduled my routine cleaning five times--and my mother's appointments three times--with little apology or consideration for our time. I'm sharing this as a heads-up for others, especially those who are soft spoken or trusting, to advocate for themselves and seek care where they feel respected and heard.

The front desk staff does change from visit to visit, so you may not always see the same person who helped you previously, but everyone I've encountered has been amazing. If you value transparency, just ask. I started with a consultation, we discussed a treatment plan, and I received a detailed quote. Perfect. As I followed the plan through my fourth appointment, I asked for an updated printout outlining my remaining treatment and the expected costs for each visit. The dental assistant reviewed a change in my estimate and explained that the additional treatment may or may not be necessary, but it was better to have it included than be caught off guard later. I appreciated the honesty. She also offered to submit everything to my insurance for processing. Do you, boo! From my experience, this office is exceptional. I've arrived on time for every appointment, checked in, paid my portion upfront, and typically waited only 5-10 minutes before being called back. The X-ray technician is incredibly sweet. The hygienist is wonderful, she takes her time and thoroughly examines your teeth. Dr. Gaddis and her dental assistant were extremely careful during my tooth extraction. The moment I felt uncomfortable, they paused to check on me and make sure I was okay. What really prompted me to leave this review happened today. I stopped by because I had been losing sleep, worried that one of my stitches had come loose after my extraction. There were three staff members at the front desk, and the dental assistant who helped with my procedure came out as well. Every single one of them reassured me that it was completely normal after a couple of days. I felt a little silly asking, but they listened without judgment and even asked whether the area was still hurting. When I told them it was still tender, they reassured me that was normal too. This dental office healed a part of the 16-year-old version of me that had a traumatic experience getting my wisdom teeth removed. Their patience, compassion, transparency, and genuine care have completely changed the way I feel about going to the dentist. Thank you for making what used to be a stressful experience feel safe again.

This is going to be a negative review but needs to be done for the safety of their future clients…read more My little brother came here recently to get his wisdom teeth removed, they preformed the surgery fine but it's the after care that is completely unacceptable. I had my wisdom teeth removed years ago (somewhere else obviously) but because of that I know the process. My brother did not receive the plastic syringe for the after care and it's been weeks now and luckily through my insurance I was able to run and pick one up. The point of the plastic syringe is to fill with water and clean the wound in your mouth post eating. If not, you have open pockets that can fill with food, which will essentially rot and cause pain and infections. The dentist and technicians should have given him directions PRE surgery and after. If it wasn't for me explaining my recovery care, he may have never know. Which would have resulted in an infection, hence more $$ spent on something that could have 100% be prevented. I'm extremely discouraged by his experience. FUTURE PATIENTS - BE CAUTIOUS.

My 84-year-old father recently had a very troubling experience with this dental office, and after…read moremaking every reasonable effort to resolve the matter privately, I feel compelled to share what occurred. My father is an elderly patient who was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. He speaks very softly; he stutters and struggles with mobility. As a result, he is particularly vulnerable and depends on healthcare providers to communicate clearly, exercise patience, and treat him with dignity and professionalism. The problems began during the crown process, on April 20, 2026. At the temporary crown appointment, my father informed the technician that the temporary crown had a rough edge. He was told not to worry about it. He also received very little guidance regarding aftercare and had to ask questions himself about eating, brushing, and flossing. Just a few days later, part of the temporary crown fell out, requiring an additional visit to have it reattached. A few days after that, the same portion fell out again. By the time he returned for his final crown appointment, the temporary crown was once again broken. During the final crown appointment on May 2, 2026, the technician removed the temporary crown and attempted to place the permanent crown. When it did not fit properly, the dentist, Dr. Kirandeep Kaur, entered the room and attempted to adjust the crown by grinding or drilling it outside of my father's mouth. The crown was then placed again, and my father was sent for an X-ray. After returning to the treatment room, my father was instructed to bite down on the crown. The crown cracked. My father immediately asked, "Did it crack?" The dentist responded, "Yes." At that point, my father expressed that he was unhappy with the experience. The dentist apologized and explained that another crown would need to be made. She further indicated that she could produce a replacement crown using a lower-quality material because it could be completed more quickly, and that the fee would be reduced. A staff member from the front desk later entered the room to ask why my father was unhappy. He explained the sequence of events and his concerns. Afterward, the dentist suggested beginning treatment on another tooth while waiting for the replacement crown process. My father declined. What is most disappointing is what happened afterward. On May 5, 2026, I personally visited the office and met privately with the office manager, Bella. The office was empty at the time, and our conversation was cordial and respectful. I specifically stated that my goal was not to create conflict, but rather to resolve the matter professionally and privately. I explained that I preferred to spread "light and love" rather than anger and that I hoped we could reach a fair resolution. I requested three simple actions: 1. A written apology to my father. 2. That his account balance be reduced to zero. 3. That his complete dental records be provided so he could seek treatment elsewhere and complete any remaining work with another provider. I requested that these actions be completed by May 9, 2026. The only request that was honored was the release of his records. No apology was provided. The account balance was not adjusted. Instead, my father later received a bill that included charges related to the replacement crown that became necessary after the original crown cracked during the fitting process. I am particularly disappointed because the office was given an opportunity to resolve this matter privately and respectfully. Rather than addressing the concerns of an elderly Parkinson's patient and demonstrating accountability, they chose not to follow through on the requested resolution. Patients deserve competent care, clear communication, and professional treatment--especially elderly patients who may be less able to advocate for themselves. Unfortunately, that was not our experience.

I visited RC Dental Group and was quickly pushed toward a root canal by Dr. Kim without a proper…read morediagnostic process. When I insisted on a cold test, the sensation went away immediately -- it did not linger. According to the American Association of Endodontists, a diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis (the clinical justification for a root canal) requires lingering pain of 30 seconds or longer after the cold stimulus is removed. A sensation that disappears instantly is actually consistent with a healthy or reversible response. Despite this, Dr. Kim told me the result proved I needed a root canal -- which directly contradicts standard endodontic diagnostic criteria. Additionally, no written cost estimate was provided before the procedure. Under the federal No Surprises Act, healthcare providers -- including dental offices -- are legally required to provide a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before any non-emergency service. I was only told the cost after the root canal was completed, which is a violation of this patient protection law. A second opinion from another dentist confirmed my concerns about the cold test interpretation. This experience felt rushed, financially motivated, and lacking in the diagnostic thoroughness that patients deserve. I would strongly encourage anyone here to seek a second opinion before agreeing to any invasive procedure, and to specifically request a written cost estimate upfront -- it is your legal right.
