Really bad customer service! The check-in secratrary was really rude from the start. I wasn't being rude, a simple "Hey, how are you?" is all I said and she was supper rude when trying to check-in. Keep in mind I've been coming here for years. I understand that it might have been a rough day but still doesn't give her the right to treat people so poorly. Extremely unexceptionable and she shouldn't have a customer service job if she can't control the way she responds to clients. FYI, without paying customers, you won't have a job. Keep that in mind.

I've been going to this dentistry for a year now. All the staff are extremely friendly and the dentists are amazing. I have never waited longer than 10 minutes in the waiting room. I am extremely grateful for them. I am part of the working poor class and I'm grateful that there are places like this that I can go to to receive dental treatment. I do wish there were more of them because it does take awhile to get seen, but this isn't their fault.

I came to this facility from lompoc BECAUSE! Reception here told me they would be able to see me as an emergency walk in. After over a 2 hour wait they said they cannot see me. A total painful waste of time!
