“Susan, the hygienist, and Dr. Modesto were incredibly amazing. Visiting the dentist is always stressful, whether it’s due to past negative experiences, pain, or the fear of treatments that are barely covered by insurance. The entire team was friendly, supportive, and understanding. I felt that Dr. Modesto genuinely cared about my dental health and took the time to thoroughly discuss each issue and develop a comprehensive care plan for future visits. I highly recommend this practice to my parents and anyone seeking a caring dentist and an effective and efficient dental office. ”

Dental assistant was great but the office made me wait a full hour before being seen. No apology by the doctor for the delay once she arrived, was seen for a total of probably 5 minutes and then shuffled to a coordinator to discuss pricing. The pricing is exponentially higher than other practices in the area and the coordinator went from fake friendly to pushy and off putting the moment I questioned the numbers and mentioned that I wanted to get another opinion before committing. My experience mirrored what I’ve seen on Google Reviews about the practice. Definitely better options available elsewhere.

I didn’t have to wait at all. Staff was super naive and welcoming. The hand were gentle and everything was explained beforehand. No surprises. Extremely happy with the experience.

Not much of a wait. My problem was because of me not going to a dentist in awhile. Other than that everything was good . Everyone was nice and helpful.

It was my first Dental cleaning. Amanda was a good communicator and acted professionally. I was nervous but she made me feel comfortable. Dr Mayra was equally good too. Her smiling face made me feel very comfortable. Great place! They will always be my dentist. I was referred by my husband.
