He is personable, knowledgeable, and kind. Nice visit
January 8, 2020Lalita O.Verified patient
When I went to the office, they said they didn't have my appointment. Apparently they don't check ZocDoc appointments. Instead of apologizing they insisted it was my fault for not calling them and making the appointment over the phone.
The service was awful, they have no sense or responsibility, and they clearly don't know how to use this service. I'm not even sure why they are allowed on the platform.
January 12, 2020Joshua H.Verified patient
The Dentist was very nice , assistant was not as nice ! Dentist gave a detailed explanation on everything which I appreciate but honestly the assistant professionalism wasn’t there ! As my self I am a dental assistant it was below 2 my score !
Lack of communication and of kindness “when working with kids “!!

I haven’t been to the Dentist in 8 years!!! I was nervous and honestly waiting to be talked down to... this was not the case. Dr. Q and his assistant were welcoming, understanding, efficient and nice! This was by far one of the best dentist visits I’ve ever had in my life. I’m back on track and excited to see my pearly whites again.

Dr. Quintanar makes you feel comfortable at the dentist, and also is just in general an excellent dentist. He asks the right questions and gives the right instructions that you can actually apply ro improve your dental health. Everybody at the office is very nice and also up-to-date with technology to make everything from scheduling to the actual appointment easier.

I actually neglected my oral health for a gap of time before coming to Dr. Quintanar. I was filled with trepidation, but simply could not have been in better hands to get back on the right track -- Dr. Q is awesome. He communicates clearly and keeps you informed as a patient every step of the way. I would recommend him to anyone.
