I had a very wonderful experience at Diamond Star Dental yesterday for my first patient visit, after having bad experiences at other local dentist. I had x-rays done as well as got my teeth cleaned all in a first visit! It's a very professional office and family owned. Dr. Sapigao was great explaining all the process and very gentle. I loved the smart TV where I can watch while the Doctor works on you. I'm so happy I finally found me dentist! I even made an appt for me husband! Thank you Diamond Star Dental!

I was referred here by my brother. Man was that a great recommendation. Dr. Sapigao was consistently checking and asking if I was comfortable. I hadn't been to the dentist in over 6 years. Needless to say, I needed some work done. Dr. Sapigao showed me pictures and X-Rays of what was going on with my teeth on T.V. screens in the exam room. He took his time to point out what he was looking at, and what he was concerned about. He also explained what action he was going to take that day. Other dentist I've been too just simply said you need "xyz" and just did it. They didn't let me ask any questions or voice my concerns. I really appreciated how Dr. Sapigao took his time. I also like how thorough he was. Checking and re-checking the work to make sure it was done completely and correctly. By the way, those T.V.'s are also used to stream shows for you to watch with headphones during your procedures! How awesome is that! You almost forget you're in a dental office! Thank you Dr. Sapigao, I'll be back!

I have 2 absessed teeth, I call to make an appointment, I'm put on hold, after ten minutes on hold I get disconnected, so I call back. 5 times in a row they pickup and hang up. So utterly unprofessional, I'm making it a mission to tell ppl dont go here. If that's how they act on the phone, there's no way I can trust them with my health

Dr Sapigao and his Staff are a GOD SEND for me. From the initial phone call to make an appointment which was quickly and conveniently made. To walking into the office and being greeted by the best smiles and the warmest most patient staff ...especially Raquel. I'm severely hearing impaired and they took every measure to make me feel comfortable to understand what was going on and to me that is immense and goes Beyond professionalism. The doctor was kind and also understanding his work was amazing and painless. Honestly I can't wait to go back! LOL I wish there were a Million Stars to give ! I've had some really awkward painful dental surgery and this was a walk in the park for a root canal. Many many thanks! You have a patient for life!

It was an amazing experience. Very progressive and futuristic dentist - modern technology in every aspect. From tv on ceiling and headphones to an outstanding staff. He is a wonderful dentist. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to become a patient. Having a crown done was way better than I had anticipated. Actually looking forward to additional work I need done now . Fortunately I found him !!!

Headphones so I could listen to the streaming entertainment of choice. Not the dental procedure. I didn't feel a thing.

Strongly recommend Dr. Sapigao and his team/staff- great vibes! Staff is humble and welcoming. They have smart TVs in front of the chair and on the ceiling to ease your anxiety with Netflix with great quality head phones. They present your plan of care right there on the smart TV screen and break it down very clearly and easy understanding. Super cool !! Dr. Sapigao and his dental team eases my dental anxiety. After my first visit, I didn't fear my next appointment (first time ever!!). He has advance technology, they have a Modern Zen theme office, big Screens in front of you chair chair and top of celling where they present your Plan of care/ x-rays, super cool! Their professionalism is genuinely heart warm felt, amazing staff, works great with children (my son loved everyone too), everyone goes above and beyond, Dr. Sapigao and staff take their time with you, very thorough, clean, great vibes, very comforting!! I definitely will continue coming and bringing my Family and friends for dental service. 10 star in my book!!

What a wonderful surprise!!! Hi, like most other people, I'm just not a fan of going to the dentist. Especially the first time, because you don't know the doctor, or the people, or really what's gonna be happening. Dr.Sapigao and all of his assistants who work with him, turned my thoughts around about dentists. From the moment that I walked in, until I left, I was treated with kindness! The one word besides kindness that comes to my mind, is thorough. The doctor is so thorough in his inspection of x-rays, and explaining things and treatments to you, that I was put at ease! This doctor knows his stuff too! And he literally takes all the time that you need to ask him questions, and figure out a plan for your teeth. I absolutely recommend this doctor 100% to anybody out there! If you, like I, have had any kind of fears about a dentist, or uncomfortable going to one, this is a good place for you to go because going there will change your mind about the dentist! Thank you Dr. Sapigao and crew for being so kind To me, and just for being so knowledgeable! For being so thorough! I will see you at my next appointment!

Undoubtedly the best dental-related experience I've ever had. During my appointment, Dr. Sapigao pulled up my x-rays on the screen in front of me and explained everything that he recommended to be done and why. I have been to other dentists that exaggerated what my needs were in order to make more money. So it was a relief to find a dentist with integrity. I really appreciated the time he took to make sure I understood what was going to be done. I thought it was also very cool that there were tv screens on the ceilings so I could enjoy a show while he was working on my teeth. Overall, an amazing experience with an amazing staff all around.

I was a new patient, and EVERYONE in the office was so professional. Dr. Sapigao was knowledgeable and very informative. The entire office was very up-to-date with modern equipment and it has such a pleasant environment. Dr. Sapigao really loves what he does. I had a great experience and will be coming back regularly. One of the best!!

Very impressed with explanation of findings and treatment plan. Dr. Sapigao and his assistant use a large TV to show the xray and other visuals. Responses to questions were very clear.

I had a chipped tooth, and needed to get to a dentist right away. I called a couple places, I was put on hold, or they didnt answer. Diamond Star, was the third dentist I called, Nida answered on her lunch break, they got me in right away. The put me at ease, I have been more then satisfied with the work that Dr. Jay Jay does, he is very thorough and kind. It has changed the way I feel about going to the dentist. I would highly recommend them.

I was looking for a emergency oral surgeon in the desert, as I needed a broken tooth extracted. The 1st business that popped up was Diamond star dental...I called them right away, and a very pleasant lady Nidia answered the phone, she got me right in the next morning. Was greeted very professionally. Had to have xrays done in that area my tooth broke...the dentist put the pictures from the xrays on the big TV screen so you can see the results and explains what he is going to do. Went over the costs of services with Nidia. And went ahead and removed that tooth. It was one of the most comfortable feelings having that tooth extracted I hardly felt a thing. While your laying back in the chair there is a TV screen on the ceiling so you can watch TV. I went today to have the stitches removed, and we also did full mouth of x-rays...Dr went over in detail of teeth that needed attention...he very much in detail showed me the picture of tooth he was talking about and what needed to be done. This is all showed to you on big tv screen in detail...he asked me a few times if I had any questions or concerns. I have been to other dentists and never been treated like this wonderful...nor has another dentist ever took the time to explain these things to me. Im so grateful I found this place. They are my new dentist office. When I left the dentist office today, I got a text from Nidia thanking me for coming in today. She also goes over in detail what your costs are going to be with and without insurance and shows you in detail on TV screen where that work will need to be done. Truly the best experience with a dentist office! I highly highly recommend them. Dorie
