I was scheduled for a same day appointment after biting down on a bit of an olive pit and cracking a filling. It was evaluated and I am set up to get a needed crown on that tooth in two days time. Friendly and efficient staff. Thank you. Dave

My daughter said that the hygienist who cleaned her teeth was extremely rough and caused a lot of pain. When the hygienist asked if "it hurts?" My daughter said yes, but continue to be rough. My daughter's mouth hurts now. We usually have a positive experience at this dental office, but after her mouth being sore and my constant battle with teeth pain, I may want to find another dental office.

Everyone at Diablo Hills Dental Excellence is always SO kind. I have a major fear of the dentist, and they always make me feel so welcomed and not judged. The ladies at the front desk and hygienists are so helpful and all the Drs I've seen are knowledgeable and are great at explaining what is needed and work with you on how that will work out for you financially and health wise. I'm the first person to say that I'm scared of the dentist, but this is the only office I've been to that I walk out of feeling at ease.
