I've been a patient at Adept Dental Group for 5 years now. I initially went to Adept because I was following my favorite dentist of all time, Dr. Hendricks! I was so happy when I started to see some other familiar faces showing up at Adept who also worked at the previous practice. From the front office staff, shout out to Monica! To the hygienists, shout out to Becca! And all the amazing office staff, seriously I've never had a bad experience. The office is clean, comfortable and well equip. And seriously, they are all so kind. They offer an array of services from exams, cleaning, fillings, bite guards, whitening, crowns, braces/invisailgn all the way up to implants. I haven't experienced all of their services yet, but every time I've had any work done, it's always with out a hitch. I have full confidence that their expansive and educated team will be able to serve all my dental needs well into the future. When the need arises for something complicated, I know I will be in good hands. Most of all, I know Dr. Hendricks is committed to helping me in my oral health goals, or as I like to call it... project keep all the teeth! read more

Professional and welcoming front desk team! This is present throughout the office from hygienists to dentist Dr. Slaughter, (who was prepared for my comment about his name/dentist. He said "you know it's laughter with an S!". Gotta give him props for that and his dentistry is tops as well! This is a large office with multiple dentists, hygienists, etc. So you have many options when scheduling an appt. My husband and I are originally from Santa Clarita and we've making the drive and flights (when living out-state- to see her and dentists) for almost 30 years. So when we give this kind of review-it comes with a lot of credibility! We had asked multiple friends for referrals and thank goodness we picked Dr. Slaughter and Adept Dental based on friends feedback. We know the stress that many of us carry when going to the dentist. You will feel comfortable from the time you enter their office (of course the normal jitters) may be present but once you experience the pleasant, professional, competent experience of dentist and hygienists. I believe you will be grateful you chose to go to Adept Dental! Happy Smiles read more

Adept Dental is the absolute best office in town, the staff is highly knowledgeable and caring. They treat you like family and do painless dental treatments. Dr. D and his team are truly one of a kind. Michael and Angelica are extremely talented and kind, I highly recommend Adept Dental ​to anyone. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Jessica, my dental hygienist. She has completely transformed my view of going to the dentist. I used to absolutely dread my dental visits because of my sensitive teeth and some rough experiences in the past. But Jessica has made every single visit a breeze. She's incredibly gentle and really understands how to make things comfortable for someone with sensitivity issues. She's also just a joy to chat with, always friendly and understanding. Honestly, Jessica turns what used to be a stressful experience into something I don't mind at all. I actually look forward to seeing her. I can't imagine ever going to another hygienist again. read more

Exceptional care & a beautiful facility. Very clean & functional. I was skeptical at starting a new dental journey at a big dental office but this one isn't too big to where the quality is poor. Carrie is the best dental hygienist & does a fabulous job at cleaning! They also offer a cash discount on their services, heck yeah! I love this office & the friendliness of all who work here. read more

Was told that I needed several fillings and a crown. Went to two other dentists and they both confirmed that was NOT the case. Can't trust them. Get a second opinion. read more

I've been a patient for around 14 years and have always found the staff and dentists to be exceptional. The level of care and kindness are top notch. I recently had surgery and Dr Harouni is another exceptional addition to the team. I never felt a prick or a pinch, even when he warned me I'd feel the next one. He was efficient and really quick, reassuring me all the way. Definitely a 10/10! read more

I've been a patient of Adept Dental for some time now. I came over as Dr. Slaughter moved offices then when he left, I stayed and started seeing Dr Mortensen and I have had excellent experiences for all these years until recently. Recently it seems the office has changed their priorities from patient care, and seems to be transitioning from a customer based personal experience, to a business model. I've had some unpleasant experiences with the office manager, it seems to have began when I questioned how they were billing and coding my dental services, as I was paying more out of pocket. The office manager is not very personable and sits in her corner office very smug. I am contemplating on changing offices after all these years due to my experience with the office manager. read more

I love going to Adept Dental! The staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Mortensen is a great guy! He is funny and takes time to make you feel comfortable. I haven't had any bad experiences and if anything, I wish I had come to them sooner! read more

It was my first time at adept dental. Let's just say I won't be leaving anytime soon. I finally found a dentist and dental office that checks all the boxes for me. The second I walked into adept I was greeted by the smiling ladies front desk. The office itself is very clean and conveniently located. The wait was short and I was called back what felt like immediately, the assistant and dental hygienists were so inviting, sweet, and seemed to be very caring. The dentist I saw Misty Hendricks was very kind and thorough and talked me through everything and seemed very genuine and knowledgeable. Thank you Adept Dental for all of your help! I will be back :) read more

Top tier care at Adept. The staff Dr. Kyle, Tina, Jessica, and Marie absolutely the top of their field. Each visit I am happy I finally found a good and actually great dentistry team. I am so grateful for the hard work and professionalism it shows in the work done on my teeth. read more

What a great office! Dr. D has been great for us, and did a phenomenal job with reshaping a couple of my teeth and the molds have held WAY longer than other times Ive had them done in the past. Quality work, and he has always been so kind and caring. My hygienist has been super thorough and even remembers what we talked about 6 months prior at my last cleaning! So nice to feel at home at a dentist for once! read more

I've been going to Adept for 20 years, and I have zero complaints. The staff is excellent, I love the dentists, hygienists, and other specialists, and they are absolutely on time 100% of the time. I highly recommend them. read more

I cannot say how pleased my husband and I have been with Adept Dental. Dr D. is amazing. He is kind and patient and has cured me from my long time fear of dentists based on a bad experience when I was younger. Michael was very knowledgeable and professional when fitting me me for a cap. Delia and Christy are fantastic hygienists! The best! They are both very gentle and have always been considerate of my initial anxiety. Now, I no longer need my gums to be numbed because I have been going on a regular basis and my mouth is healthy and my anxiety is gone! Thanks to this incredible team!! I highly recommend Dr. D and his team at Adept Dental! I even got a wisdom tooth pulled and it was pain- free and I didn't cancel at the last minute due to previous anxiety. Dr. D and his team has helped me resolve this. read more

I got braces with Adept Dental, and Dr. D. did an amazing job! My teeth look absolutely amazing after a year and a half of his diligence.

Been coming here for several years with my family , today they lost us as patients. They are charging me for something from 6 months ago and can't tell me what it's for. I asked what charges are for and representative gave me three different reasons that did not match to charges. I will pay and never go back. read more

Dr. Hendricks is a smart dentist and she is very thorough. I had a dentist prior to her that did very poor work. Fortunately, she caught something today and I am grateful. Her hygienist (Jeannie) was excellent as well. I felt like it was a spa day for my mouth! The office staff is friendly and professional. read more

Dr. Hendricks is absolutely the best dentist in the valley. The quality of work she provides is top tier, and there is never any issues. All of the employees who work in the front are very friendly and they know what they are doing. Adept Dental Group is by far the best dentist office in Bakersfield and Dr. Hendricks is by far the best dentist in Bakersfield. read more

I started seeing Dr. Misty Hendricks upon seeing all these wonderful Yelp reviews on her. I'm glad I did! The office is nice and clean. Didn't have too long of a wait. Dr. Hendricks is very friendly and goes the extra mile to explain everything very well so you can understand. She makes sure you're comfortable at all times and truly cares about her patients. The hygienists have all been really nice as well. So glad I found Dr. Hendricks and Adept Dental! read more

Great service, staff is super friendly, the work that my family and I have received has been excellent. I highly recommend them.

I've been coming to this office for years. I honestly have no complaints whatsoever. Everyone I have ever dealt with is friendly.

I see Dr Kylie Mortensen and Jessica for my cleanings. You really can ask for a better. Such an amazing group of people at the office especially Dr Mortensen and Jessica. I look forward to my visit each time, which I never use to like the dentist appointments before I started with him. Dr Mortensen had he work cut out with me, and he gave me a healthy beautiful smile. Highly recommend Jessica, Dr Mortensen and Adept dental :) read more

I have been coming to this place since my dentist sold his practice to the group. I really like going here. The only thing that I do not like is that they expect you to pay a missed appointment fee if you get sick with Covid the same day as your appointment. That's what happened to one of my family members. read more

I've been coming here for several years. The hygienists are professional. Dr Mortensen is the dentist whose always seen me after I'm done with my hygienists and he's very personable. My most recent visit I was a little uncomfortable with how they handled the waiting room in light of COVID-19. There was no noticeable effort to ensure people were not sitting next to each other. Additionally, they've begun charging an additional fee for PPE, however, the staff was not uniformed any differently than any other appointment. I have been happy with my care overall and will most likely return. read more

No one ever dreads a visit to this dentist, and my kids are 7, 8 and 14. Every hygienist we have seen has been so sweet and they remember us every 6 months. It's lovely to be greeted by all the smiles :) read more

Adept Dental Group in Bakersfield, California has a dentist who touches patients' bodies. In the exam room, Misty J. Hendricks, D.D.S. laid her bare hand on my bosom. Misty J. Hendricks's brute assistant (assistant wouldn't provide her name) ripped my dental bib off of me so violently that she caught some of my long hair and yanked it from my scalp. I told these two aggressors to stop their abuses against me and that I'm reporting them. In malice, Misty J. Hendricks's brute assistant spewed, "Have a nice daayyy!" in a sing-song voice to taunt me. read more

My first time back in a while. Staff was very helpful and did a great job explaining everything to me.

I took my daughter in to see Dr. Beemer who is supposed to be a pediatric dentist. I did try to reschedule her apt because she had been getting over a throat infection but they said she would be fine. During the exam she was apprehensive (due to her throat infection, being worried they would touch her throat) and therefore he refused to do the work she needed done. I asked if he would consider seeing her again once she was not sick anymore, and reconsider doing her work. He refused and said she needed to be sedated due to her apprehensiveness and referred us to someone else. A week later, once she was better, I took her to another pediatric dentist where she had no issues and they will be doing her work. I do not understand why Dr. Beemer is a pediatric dentist if he has no patience for children and is not understanding if a child is sick. read more

It's shockingly difficult to find a decent dentist office in town. I'm grateful to this place. The dentist we see is friendly, the office is clean, they explain what they're doing and cost, dentist and tech try to keep you comfortable and from drooling all over yourself, but most importantly, they are careful and do good work so you don't have to have it redone in 2 years. My whole family sees him now. My husband has had some crowns done improperly by another dentist and we finally feel confident they will get fixed the right way here. read more

Dr. D is a godsend. After my horrific experience at riverlakes dental, I was absolutely terrified to return to any dentist, however I needed to find one to fix riverlakes mess ASAP. My boss recommended this place. I was a shaking crying wreck when I walked in to consult with Dr. D. I told him about my recent experience, and he listened to everything. He thoroughly reassured me through the whole thing. He explained that they had many options when it came to anesthesia and pain/anxiety management. He guaranteed that they would not work on my teeth unless they were completely numb. We set up an appointment a few weeks out (had to let my mouth heal before he could do anything). The appointment went flawlessly. Other than some pressure from the first shot of anesthesia (he uses the tiny needle - it takes longer to administer, but you barely feel even a little teeny poke), there was absolutely no pain or discomfort. Dr D and his assistant, Michael, were awesome. Extremely attentive, caring, gentle, understanding and funny. I have been here 4 times now to get the previous dental work repaired, the work they do is excellent, everything has been completely pain free, the staff is awesome... There is not a single subpar thing I can think of about this location. If I were to move out of town, I would travel back here for any dental work I might need. Unfortunately they don't take the insurance I have now, but I'm more than happy to pay the cost until I can change it. They are 100% worth it. read more

Dr. D and the staff here are amazeballs!! They make you feel so welcomed and comfortable. I moved back to this office coming from an office in shafter. I went in today to fix some old fillings that I've had for years! Dr. D assured that I knew every step he took and that I was comfortable. I barely felt the needle that he used to numb me. As he started working he kept asking if I was ok or if I was in any pain. I did feel something (not pain) but he wanted to make sure I was ok so he numbed me a little more. Omg he was quick and I could have totally fallen asleep in the chair. I was very happy with the results! I had silver fillings and to my surprise her replaced them with white so you can't tell that I even have filling. Best feeling he could have given me today!! I would definitely recommend Dr. D and the adept dental office. read more

I went to dr.d per the recommendation of my sister in law. I have terrible dentist phobia, but they got me in right away (no anxiety sitting in the waiting room), and the receptionists, dentist assistant, and dentist were all comforting and friendly. I was there for a dental emergency. During the procedure they told me what they were doing and how much longer it would take. I liked being kept in the loop. I will report back once I go there for routine visits. I recommend Dr.D, as that's who I saw and was recommended to see. He was great! read more

Have been going here for several years Now, and have had scheduling issues several times. Love Dr. Mortenson and the adult hygenists, but other than them, I have not been overly impressed with the staff or service my family has received. I am currently looking for a new dentist due to the most recent scheduling issue. read more

Adept Dental gave me an estimate for some major work. I told them I wanted to do half now (November) and finish it in January when I would have less out of pocket. I let them push me into doing the work all in 2015 and it cost me $858 out of pocket. I was told to make half payment in Nov. and Dec. Done. Now I get a bill for another $159.60 and yes, I understand that the prior was an estimate (my reason for doing half in 2015 and finish in 2016 for less out of pocket), they will not wave it. I have another 8-10k or more in work to be done. There's one lucky dentist out there waiting to have a customer who pays their bills. I will not let any one push me in the future. Done with that. read more

I was truly amazed on the friendliness of the staff, Mike & Jennifer where really nice and attentive. The facility looked really clean and staff was knowledgeable. read more

I went to this dental place and I had to wait 1 hour for anyone to come into the room and then they can in, to take my paper and then they left and it took them another 30 minutes to come back in read more

Great place for kids ! They allow parents to go back with children & they don't strap them down .

I've never liked the dentist until I started coming here. This is the most professional office I've been too. Everyone is very courteous and friendly. Dr.Slaughter is very kind and patient. I like he explains what he's doing before he starts and during the treatment. Never thought I'd look forward to coming to the dentist! read more
