I have been coming here for the past three years, I have only had one bad experience a year ago with the orthodontist, but the rest of the staff have been amazing. Today I had to get a temp put in and Hijoni (most likely spelled wrong) was amazing. she listened to me and really took her time to get the temp put in correctly and comfortably for me. they are a great dentist and I highly recommend them. read more

Dr. Ramirez is the first person I look to when inspecting my mouth. She is great on every level she makes me feel confident and her skills. I highly recommend Dr. Ramirez at West Coast dental. read more

I have been a patient at this office for some time and have experienced the same problems repeatedly, with no improvement. Every single appointment, I wait at least an hour in the lobby before being called back, despite arriving on time or early. What makes this worse is watching other patients, who arrived after me and had later appointment times, be called back before me. There is no explanation offered and no apology. The office has never once asked me to update my health history. I never experienced this at other dental offices, and it created a serious problem when I was pregnant. The staff only became aware of my pregnancy because they were eavesdropping on a private conversation I was having with another patient in the lobby. I had already consulted my doctor before the appointment, and they confirmed I was fine to be seen since I was not getting x-rays. Despite this, after I waited an hour and a half in the lobby, the office told me they could not see me without a doctor's note, even for a standard cleaning. I called my doctor afterward to request the note and explained the situation. They said a note was not necessary for a routine cleaning and that they had never been asked for one in that context before. This entire situation could have been avoided if the office simply collected updated health history like every other dental practice does, rather than relying on overheard conversations to learn about their patients. At a more recent appointment scheduled for x-rays and a cleaning, I waited over an hour in the lobby, completed my x-rays, then waited an additional 30 minutes in the treatment room before being told the doctor was over 40 minutes behind. I was told I would need to reschedule my cleaning. I rescheduled. At the rescheduled appointment, I again waited over an hour in the lobby. Once called back, I waited another 30 minutes to be seen by the dentist, whose evaluation took under three minutes. I asked two different staff members for a status update during that wait. After the dentist told me a hygienist would be right in, I waited an additional 15 minutes before asking again. The hygienist who finally came was visibly rushed, openly acknowledged they were behind, and skipped steps during my cleaning. I have now spent well over two hours at appointments where less than 20 minutes of actual care was provided. This is a pattern, not an occasional bad day. I do not recommend this office. read more

Terrible customer service. They lack integrity. They give false insurance coverage information and when I found myself stuck with a bill from their office I found out they scheduled me with an "out of network dentist " at their office. This office failed to enroll properly through Delta Dental, leaving me to figure out their discrepancy that led to me being billed out of pocket due to their ignorance and them refusing to make things right. I was forced to do the leg work with insurance multiple times and therefore my family and I are done with this unprofessional office. Additionally, they scheduled my for deep cleaning and spread the cleaning over 3 visits, I can only assume it's due to some sort of insurance scheme to get more money out of them and I. In the process of my cleaning, the scraping Pick was broken in my mouth and lodged in my gums. This office is truly unprofessional, disrespectful cutting me off mid sentence when I was explaining my situation over the phone, and they lack quality customer service making it very obvious all they care about is money and not the people. If you go to this office I wish you luck. read more

I have been coming here for about 2 years now but it's finally time to go. My family and I are constantly showing up for scheduled appointments. And when we get there they either don't have us down or they say they booked us on accident. If it was an accident or they didn't have us down for appointments then why do I receive 100 reminders about my appointment. I would have let it go if it was one time or maybe even 2 times. But it has been multiple times over and over. Will not be returning. read more

'm really disappointed with my experience at this dental office. My appointment was scheduled for 12:30, and I arrived 15 minutes early to be on time. By 12:45, I still hadn't been called back, so I had to ask the front desk what was going on. Only then was I taken to the back. I was told they were still "setting up the room," but after being taken back, I waited another 20 minutes before anything happened. The lack of communication and organization felt very unprofessional. I understand that delays can happen, but no one kept me informed or apologized for the wait. Respecting patients' time and communicating clearly should be a basic standard of care. read more

Friendly staff, Dr. Ramirez and Kimberly made my experience better than expected. Felt comfortable and at ease. The wait was a little long but they were kind and considerate to check in, update me and apologize for the delay. read more

Very nice office to visit I have recommended family and friends all with satisfying results, Reann is very friendly and knowledgeable. read more

This place is horrible. Front staff are unprofessional. They are also talking about other patients nothing like hippa violations but talking crap about them. The wait time are ridiculous they always over book. Never do they communicate with you of the wait time even when you have an appointment. My appointment was at 830am wasn't called until 947am. They place me on a "waitlist" for a appointment. I called a month later they told they dont have wait list just "notes". My daughter was suppose to have her brace removed in August the dental assistant said they forgot to schedule the molding appointment. Avoid this place it's horrible. read more

Amazing Service great staff they value your time. The doctor is really friendly and helpful.

Absolutely love West Coast Dental. I started coming here around 8 months ago and the office staff is absolutely incredible. Every visit I feel at ease knowing i'm well taking care of. especially by the doctors. Dr. Ramirez is always so kind when she does my exams. Always very gentle when working. I definitely recommend wcd to any and everyone! read more

Dr. Garcia and Dr. Nunez are awesome as well as all the ladies who work there. I started going there two years ago when I moved here.

I have to say everything went well at this dentist office. From the front desk young ladies greeting you, to the smile on their faces as you walk in.. It nice to know the doctors care about their patients here, go above, and beyond to explain everything to you.. They make you feel comfortable.. It's nice to know people still care when you go to a dentist. Thank you all.. read more

Pretty new to West Coast Dental. First visit I was a bit overwhelmed by how many different people talked with me. But once we made a plan and started with the process it gets a bit smoother. This last visit which was my 3rd, I saw the hygienist Tricia who makes you feel at ease and did a good job. If you are looking for a Dental work give them a try. read more

Hands down best dental office around , I went in for tooth ache and they took care of me fast and no pain at all , thank you to the staff from Dr.zino and his assistant Carlos , front office was really friendly and helpful thanks Jocelyn !! If you are in need of immediate care make sure you give them a shot . read more

Great service. Tricia was awesome very patient with me. I never had a better cleaning done in my life. Will highly recommend .

A wonderful first time experience that kept going downhill. Was having pain and was able to get a same day appt right away. No wait time, went straight back and got to work. A 3 appt cleaning disaster. Not sure how often cleanings that take less than 30 minutes are divided into 3 appts. I was in pain with every needle stick and the hygienist did a poor job of numbing me. Never again! They'll charge you for every visit despite having insurance and waste your day waiting. My dentist was great but the hygienist left me in pain and charged for any and everything. I recommend finding another place that's upfront, gentle and doesn't waste your time. read more

I want to give a big shoutout to Ana. She did my cleaning and was incredibly patient the entire time. I really appreciated how she explained everything thoroughly so I knew exactly what was going on. Ana made the whole experience comfortable and easy, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her work. She made me lose that fear of heading to the dentist. read more

The dental staff is great! Dr. M. is a great dentist and communicator and Tricia is an awesome and thorough hygienist. The office staff needs to learn from the dentists and hygienists...they have poor communication skills. I had a 9am schedule appointment yesterday with Tricia and because they overbook, my appointment got bumped to almost 10am. I understand time us money, but patients have schedules and lives, too. When I mentioned this to the receptionist and how I'd probably get charged a late fee or would be reschedule, she said they don't do that. I then said maybe we, the patients should with you. Other patients in the waiting room agreed. If you schedule patients, honor their appointment times first and be respectful. read more

My son is almost 2 years old and Dr. Nunez did amazing with him! Very kind and fun. The whole process did take a long time, but he was awesome read more

I accidentally booked a dentist appointment at what I thought was this location but turned out to be a totally different dentist. The staff got me an appointment that same day. Every one was super friendly and I'm glad one of the ladies who works there was able to show me how to use my HSA card to pay for my visits. read more

Great team overall. The doctors made me feel super comfortable and walked me through the whole process. Never had a root canal go so smoothly. Everyone was very kind and professional. read more

This place is great the staff is kind and thoughtful when we do are cleaning. We have 3 Littles and it hard to find a place that will book all 3 Apts back to back and they make it go smooth and calmly. Thank you read more

Met with Carla at an event in the community who told me about WCD, what a blessing that turned put to be. I definitely recommend West Coast Dental for any dentistry needs. read more

I had a previous review about the long wait times, my grandpa had come in today at 9:50 (appt at 10) and wasn't seen until 11:15! how are you supposed to plan your day when the dentist doesn't see you after over an hour of waiting? Crazy. Don't come here unless you are prepared to wait 35-95 minutes read more

Thank you Dr Garcia & Ana!! For doing an excellent job!!! I appreciate all your team did for my service !!!

My first appointment was at 2pm- after waiting an hour I decided to leave. The receptionist called to reschedule - my second appointment was at 8am - after waiting 35 minutes I left. Durning my extended wait at both appointments I could hear staff make numerous phone calls on speaker phone to confirm patient insurance coverage/information. This is a huge privacy violation as I overheard patient's full name, date of birth and policy information. Terrible experience - I will not be returning to any West Coast Dental offices. read more

Had a wonderful first experience with two of my three children. Wait times were not bad, staff was friendly, dentist was attentive. THEN my son's appointment came the next day. Waited 40 minutes to be seen for the appointment. Took his X-rays and did his check up and then told us there was no time to do his cleaning and we would have to return. During his exam, the dentist told us he would need some fillings taken care of but they wouldn't do them for us because he would need a pediatric dentist and their pediatric dentist doesn't accept our insurance even though the primary dentist does. I left confused and called my insurance. They informed me that over the age of 7, a pediatric dentist is not required. My son is 11. The insurance rep calls this office to clarify and they tell my insurance that my son was not cooperative and that is why they will not fill his cavities. I explain to the insurance that this is not true and that he wasn't able to have his cleaning done because they told us they didn't have time. Finally insurance says they have it handled and the office schedules us his appointment the following month. I confirmed FOUR TIMES that the cleaning and filling will be done at this appointment. When we went today, they did his cleaning and sealants and then told us that's all they would do because only a pediatric dentist can fill his fillings. This time they gave the excuse that their dentist doesn't know how to do children's fillings even though they worked on my 8 year old daughters and multiple other children that had appointments while we were there. HIGHLY disappointed in the staff and the lying. STAY FAR AWAY from this dental office. read more

I Was always nervous when it came to visiting the dentist. Past experiences have been overwhelming and horrible. BUT this location opened up 10 minutes from our home and I was in need of emergency dental care. The dental office is clean and pleasant. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. What knocked this out of the park for me was the quality care from the dental assistants and Dr Modera. The Dr was very thorough explaining treatment plan and recommendations, and periodically checked in on how I'm doing while treatment was being performed. Excellent customer service from all staff members. Highly recommend. read more

Friendly staff, professional dentist. Dr Behjat is excellent. Highly recommend!! Easy to book and open on Saturday!

Went in for a toothache and received a prompt appointment for next day. The front office staff is very attentive and respectful. The doctor cared for my comfort and ease the pain. The quality of explanation for my future care was easy to understand as well. Thank you West Coast Dental! read more

Tricia my hygienist was very good and thorough. Everyone is friendly at the front desk

I came to get some dental work done as I live literally a few blocks away . The office was impressive nice and clean , new location . The staff very friendly . However twice already I've had issues / delays as they seem to be understaffed . Not sure if this is caused due to holidays or it being a semi new location . Will come back and update after a few more visits . The staff is friendly however as a patient / customer when given an appointment it is important to value and acknowledge the persons time . Maybe revisit or make changes with the booking process / coordinator of this office . I hope they get this fixed soon , love having a dental office so close to home . read more

Was really nervous going in to get my cavity's filled but Dr.Modares was very gentle kind and reassuring that everything would be fine. The staff was also very kind and reassuring as well. Usually when I get my cavity's filled i blow up like a chipmunk from how numb i am but at this office i didn't have that experience here. Definitely will be back and relieved a lot of anxiety i had before going to the dentist. read more

Omg what a delightful experience. I love the way we are taken care endlessly. Definitely treated like more than a number. Thank you!

Office was super clean. Staff was super nice and explain everything. I was able to get treatment the same day and get me out of pain, doctor was gentle and very patient.Thank you for a wonderful experience will highly recommends read more

the only reason I stayed at this place so long was because they are close to my home and convenient but I will not be going there any longer. first off, I scheduled a bleaching and i arrived on time and waited 45 minutes to be told they ran out of kits over the weekend. ok stuff happens, so I rescheduled for 2 days later. arrived on time and waited 30 minutes to be told they forgot the gel. no apologies and was asked to reschedule again. I canceled and asked for a refund. this is not a place that respects your time, on my other visits I consistently wait an hour after my appointment time to be seen then they put you on a chair where you wait longer. they are overbooking themselves and don't have the manpower to meet the demands. I wasn't offered any type of discount for my time wasted. strongly do not recommend this place. read more
