Dr. Do is hands down the best I've encountered. His bedside manner is exceptional, he is very kind, GENTLE and explains everything you need to know very clearly before and along the way. The office staff are also quite pleasant and friendly. One thing above all is this office is HONEST which I cannot say for most dentists /dental specialists that I have seen over the years and also in the Monterey area. I recommend him to anyone who asks and even people who don't ask. I can only hope to find a place like this at every duty station I move to. Thank you, Dr. Do, for showing me not all dentist visits have to be a terrible experience and that there are still truly honest and kind dentist out there who do phenomenal work!

If I could give 10 stars, I would. First, the staff is incredibly efficient and kind. I get text…read morereminders about my appointments. I get "happy birthday" texts. There is no wait time. Sometimes, Doctor Do himself leads me back to the room. The whole office is calming. Second: The assistants are competent and knowledgeable. I get the feeling that with every task they perform, they know exactly what they are doing and they are kind and comforting. Third: Dr. Do has exactly the right touch. He is careful, considerate, and extremely skilled. He lays out every option if you need to make a decision. He does not impose his opinion, but guides you through all of any possible outcomes. I was so impressed when he wanted to do something with my teeth that the insurance wouldn't pay for-- he called me back in, convinced that he could make them change their minds with another set of XRays. He was right. He saved me a thousand dollars because he cared. His mannerism is gentle and compassionate. As you might tell, I can't recommend him highly enough. I actually like going to the dentist.

Getting through to the front desk was a bit difficult, but not impossible. Parking is easy. The office is clean and has a Keurig machine and magazines in the waiting area. Wait time was not too long. After the initial visit and exam, I scheduled my cleaning and a chat with the doctor about plans to move forward. It will be an additional visit to complete work, though Dr. Lehr did ask if this would work for my schedule. Overall it seems like a great office, though I am still a bit leery after my husband's insurance issue.

Not only is the dentist grossly over performing things that are completely unnecessary, but he ruined my wife's teeth because we believed the medical care he suggested was necessary.

I really wish he would go with a billing company and remove his wife from ruining his reputation. I'd go back , that's how much I liked him and trusted his skill level. I have found a good dentist and I'm happy now. Dr. Lindly--I'm not sure if your wife is the person in charge of the front, I want to say she is, please remove her, I do not have any problem paying what I owe, but she's all over the place with explanations when questions arise.

This office has done a lot to alleviate my longstanding dental phobia. First of all, the lobby is…read moresuper soothing and spa-like, with a coastal vibe, and they have a bunch of choices of tea or Nespresso. When you get to the chair, they'll have sunglasses for you so the lights aren't in your face, and if you are having a long procedure, you can watch a video of your choosing. But more importantly, the dentists (I've seen Dr. Simonsen and Dr. Melhem both) are kind, gentle, and thorough. I had two crowns, my first ever, a few years ago, and I was VERY nervous, since I have had previous fillings and extractions with inadequate anesthesia. The office has a long and detailed questionnaire where you can identify your triggers and they offer you ways to ameliorate them. I started feeling the work partway through and Dr. Simonsen stopped to re-numb me, instead of carrying on like dentists I've had in the past. They also offered breaks, and got me a ball from the prize chest to squeeze so I wouldn't maul my palms. The hygienists, Alison and Lisa, are also both great. Friendly, gentle, and detail oriented. They'll get you sparkling clean without making your mouth sore. I actually don't dread going for a cleaning!

Five Stars - Truly Life-Changing Smile!…read more I cannot thank Dr. Melhem and the team at Carmel Family Dental enough for the amazing transformation they achieved with my Daughters smile! She had some gaps and discoloration that made her feel self-conscious, after her Orthodontic treatment. Dr. Melhem recommended the BioClear bonding treatment as a same-day fix that wouldn't require any removal of her natural tooth structure. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Dr. Melhem explained every step in detail, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure my Daughter and I both felt completely comfortable. The treatment itself was quick, painless, and the results were immediate. The difference is incredible - her teeth now look smooth, even, and natural (you can see the before and after photos!). The material blended perfectly with her natural teeth color, and her smile looks brighter and healthier than I ever imagined possible. The office is warm and welcoming, the staff is friendly and professional, and you can tell they truly care about their patients. I'm so grateful for Dr. Melhem's expertise and artistry - this is more than dental work, it's confidence restored! If you're considering BioClear or any cosmetic dental work, I cannot recommend Dr. Melhem and Carmel Family Dental enough. You'll be in the best hands.
