Redding is located in the beautiful far north of the Sacramento Valley and California. Surrounded on three sides by designated wilderness areas, Redding is an attraction for those looking for an uncrowded experience, hiking, skiing, water sports, or just 'less traffic'. Redding has a population of 90,000 with numerous surrounding smaller communities. Redding is the major medical referral center between Sacramento and Oregon.
Located conveniently on I-5, events in Sacramento and San Francisco can be reached within 2-3 hours drive. The beautiful Northern California coast is 150 miles to the west, with state parks and redwood forests for the naturalist. Living costs are typically much less in the Redding area, compared to larger metro areas of California.
Residents of the greater Redding area have found it the ideal blend of infrastructure and services - and abundant outdoor recreational opportunities. Family centered events, schools, sports and culture are relatively easy and inexpensive to access. Many residents choose to stay and practice here; Redding is indebted to the Family Practice programs that continue to attract and supply the bulk of primary care physicians in the area.
Two major hospitals serve the community Shasta Regional Medical Center and Mercy Medical Center /Redding. A combined 400 bed availability provides exceptional medical and surgical services with a broad range of primary and specialty care. We are especially fortunate to have a talented and dedicated medical community that provides outstanding care to our patients.

A crown broke on a front tooth Thursday evening. I panicked at 1st feeling its a weekend what am I going to do. I looked up services and found this fantastic center! What a find! Yes I had to wait, I was a walk in but it was worth the wait. The entire staff are friendly, helpful, compassionate, calming and most importantly a difficult procedure was a success and will follow up with my Dentist. I can't compliment every employee there beginning with the greeting, the receptionist and all involved in helping get this scary situation resolved. 5 stars!! I highly recommend, its very, very clean, protocols are in place for our safety but most importantly I was treated so well. Will not hesitate to return! I can't thank each of them enough!!

Even though I was a walk-in patient, they took excellent care of me. Can't guarantee that you'll be seen as a walk-in the same day but they still provide excellent service.

These guys are amazing. Had an abscess tooth and my face was so swollen. And I had no insurance. They saw me as a walk-in, got me antibiotics, and the next week took the tooth out. They all were so helpful and compassionate. Took great care of me. So thankful for you all!!

I simply truly trust the staff. Professional, helpful, supportive. Staff always has my best interest at heart. My choice will always be to go to Shasta County Dentistry. Reasonable sliding scale to assist community with cost. Again thank you for your services

The building was clean. The receptionist was very friendly. The gal who walked us back was very friendly. I was able to voice my concerns and she listened and gave me positive feedback. Unfortunately, the when the Dentist came in, he was very rude. He ignored my question regarding "mouth trauma". He did not show me prior X-rays so we could compare them to see if the "mouth trauma" was more recent or not. He was very rude about my daughters diet. Claimed that's why she had a cavity. I am calling my insurance today to switch dentists. This guy should not care for children. His lack of compassion is terrible.

Went to Shasta Lake Dental Clinic since the Redding one was closed due to air quality from smoke from wildfires. Since I was a walk- in due to pain I was told it could possibly be a couple of hours until they got to me. It was less than an hour. They got me in and fixed my tooth quickly. No pain even when getting the novacain. Would highly recommend.
