The staff is very friendly and professional, however, the place is not clean enough, I noticed that they use dental tools which look old and dirty. Please consider that

Front desk staff was polite and helpful. I felt very rushed and dismissed when speaking to the rest of the staff regarding my questions/concerns with my child's treatment plan

Dr. Regina wouldn't fill my sons cavity because I refused to give him laughing gas. He sat still the whole time while she worked on one. He didnt kick, scream or anything and he's 4. She said she didn't want to move forward with the second one because my son frowned. So I guess my son can't make facial expressions due to numbness and bad taste thats happening all around in his mouth. Maybe she's not confident enough to do her job so she needs to drug up kids in order to work with them. Thanks to her my kids will be going to a different dental office.

My child said the X-ray lady was mean due to pain, i experience with another tech was a little issue, she started working on my child with out letting my child know the steps or introducing self until I asked her what was going on and if she was the doctor... love the doctor always kind and professional, tech staff needs a little more kindness due to working with kids... admin staff always kind and professional. Thank you...

We switched here after an unpleasant experience with the Super Dentists, have been here about 2 years and very happy. Yesterday my daughter hurt her mouth and we thought she might need teeth extracted. They were very accommodating and saw her without an appointment. Took x-rays and assured us she was fine. My daughter was very anxious and the staff calmed her down. Dr Mendoza was the dentist and he was great.

We were greeted as soon as me and my 2 kids walked in, the ladies (Nora and Tonie) at the front were super friendly, kind and helpful. We got there 1 hour before the scheduled time, they worked us in and were seen almost right away. The assistant, Moises was great with them, my daughter has a sensory disorder and has trouble with certain textures, he took her xrays and made her feel very comfortable. Amanda, did a great job at cleaning their teeth, she was friendly and gained my kids trust. I met Dr. Sara, I liked that she introduced herself and answered all of my questions about treatment. Definitely will be returning and spreading the word to friends.

I was not at all satified with my last visit. I took my two daughters in for their appointment and I felt they were treated like a number. The Assistants seemed like they were in a rush and not friendly with children. Also the quote I received for their dental work was soooo much. Close to 1000 dollars for 2 children. I went for a second opinion somewhere else and it was nothing compared to what I would be sending here and their staff was AMAZING! My daughters even walked out with little gift from the other place at childrens primary dental all they got was the tooth Bruselas the Assistant usted to clean their teeth that day. Never ever coming to this place again and I don't recommend it.
