Dr. Giovanni is very personable, and he pays very good attention to your needs! He always explains in great detail the condition of your teeth, what he plans to do for correction, and he gives any recommendations of what you should do at home. Visits are quick and easy as well!

You won't find a better dentist than Dr. Cabrillero in the DMV...period!

Giovanni gave me crowns for $7500 on 6 teeth and he used cheap materials. The temporary crown fell off four or five times in a month, which I had to go back for every time. I know it is a temporary one but my husband has had a temporary crown from another doctor and its been on for seven years. Gio would make a lot of anesthesia injections so much that my eye would become numb. He was also visibly tired and at times was manning his front desk more or less and doing the dentist work. My son recommended me to him and working with Gio was nothing but trouble. We all gave him some of his first five star reviews, as he worked on our family of five and things went well at first, but sooner or later it all went down hill. My son, and my husband all had issues with him that replicate this experience. Giovanni is probably in the bottom 20% of dentists in the area. Do not go there.

I regret ever having recommended my family to Giovanni. He has been nothing but trouble for our health. He literally told my mom that because one of her teeth's color was slightly off that she would have to change the color on ALL OF THEM. She used the paste he gave her with the tooth piece he also gave her to hold in her mouth, and it gave her additional permanent sensitivity in her teeth. Last time I made a review here I spoke out about how Giovanni gave me a quote to take out 4 wisdom teeth at $450 each, and surprisingly years later I got them all taken out in Colorado for $500 combined. This left me baffled and I made my negative review only to get a response from Giovanni that he does not take out teeth at his practice because he only does cosmetics. Well, I can tell you for certain that he gave this quote and my mom was there who also heard it. To add to this, my father has also been offered to get his wisdom tooth taken out by Giovanni. This is just business to him, if he gets someone like my dad in that needs his crown looked at, or a filing, then he starts to up-sell you on things that you may not need, and even if you need them, you don't need them from Giovanni. His quality is shoddy at best and his prices are ridiculous. I don't usually leave bad reviews but I struggled with this because he seems very nice and kind. But being nice and kind does not justify messing up peoples' teeth and health.

I don't recommend his services. My wife and son have had bad experiences. Giovanni has done me well but there's also a considerable amount of up-sells that occur on work which isn't the highest quality. He is a good person but not the most professional dentist.

Very professional. Took the time to go over the treatment beforehand and what to expect. I also like the post treatment analysis that he gives. Friendly and helpful staff.

I thought the outer office was welcoming as well as the office personnel. Dr. Giovani came to see me quite soon after I had been brought back to the exam room. He was very personable and let me know exactly how the appointment would go. He did all the cleaning and appeared to be very detailed. I was given options of how to manage my oral care and he.went over everything he found during the diagnostic exams. He did some deep cleaning of a few teeth and was really good with being gentle with the numbing of my gums as well as making sure I was comfortable throughout. I was very pleased with my care.
