We came in today for routine cleaning. Dr. Lee did the preliminary review and my child did need a couple of fillings done due to cavities.

When I was a child, my mother caught my pediatric dentist slapping me. She heard me crying and…read morepushed her way past the staff, just in time to see him strike me across the face. We have no idea how often he had done that during previous visits. As a result, I developed a deep aversion to dental work. The sights, sounds, and even smells of a dental office would fill me with anxiety, and for many years I avoided seeing a dentist whenever possible. HOWEVER, the team at Capital Dental Group completely put me at ease. I can honestly say that the team at Capital Dental Group has been nothing short of extraordinary. I especially want to recognize Dr. Richard Casteen, Dr. Robert Sharobiem, and Dr. Arfan Taba. Each of these professionals has demonstrated an exceptional combination of knowledge, skill, and kindness. They took the time to listen, answer questions, and ensure that I felt at ease throughout every visit. They and their staff members have been friendly, patient, compassionate, and seemed genuinely invested in making me feel comfortable. The staff at Capital Dental Group provided me with top notch treatment provided with a friendly manner, which is a rare combination. I am extremely grateful for the care I have received and would recommend this practice without hesitation to anyone looking for outstanding dental care in the Central Valley.

They are expanding…read moreto open new departments, such as a dental academy and a children's branch, so they are always way behind schedule and much more unorganized than they used to be. I have been a patient for twenty years, and in the last month, I have had to reschedule two appointments due to long wait times (30 then 40 mins). Their most qualified and efficient hygienists have retired or moved on. The kiosk check-in system is also faulty and does not always go through to the front desk, so they think you're late or a no-show unless you speak to the receptionist. There is also now a host standing by the kiosks... why? I am disappointed because I pay for PPO just to continue going to CD. I vote for them for Bakersfield's Best every year. And I have referred all of my friends and family to them throughout these years. But I won't be doing that anymore. Will report back if things improve.

There's always an anxiety about going to the dentist the first time, like am I going to be judged for not staying on top of my teeth but this team from the admin to the dental assistants to the doctor was so welcoming and compassionate. Joyce was the most considerate dental assistant, the d rays are always the worst and most uncomfortable but she was so gentle, she went through the after care instructions with me extensively, checked in on my needs, broke down the payment, had everything ready and prepared for the doctor to work his magic, just awesome. You know they're really on their game when they give you the answer to a question before You ask. She even asked if I needed to use the restroom before we start which blew my mind because it's such a thoughtful option to have before sitting in a chair waiting be seen she even asked if I wanted to watch something and I chose Seinfeld! I felt like I was in first class!!! Dr. Garger is exactly how You want your dentist to be, nice, congenial, professional, efficient with a nice spritz of humor. I'm just so happy with this visit I couldn't stop bragging! In the end I needed two teeth extracted and I'm so happy it was done here. I truly feel blessed from this Experience and actually look forward to coming back. Thank you so much Gentle Family Dentistry for the kindness you've shown me today.

I'm told at previous appointments things are covered, I'm told on the phone it's still covered, I show up and it's now $100 out of pocket. Now today, I received a bill on June 9th for something my insurance didn't cover back in February??? 4 months it took to send me this bill? Even though every statement I've gotten from my insurance says I don't owe anything, somehow I still owe $40 out of pocket? They even sent me a bill with NO description on what I owed or what the charges are for. My last visit, was my 3rd time being drowned by the assistant while the dentist worked on my teeth. I say 3rd time because it's the 3rd time it's been made to feel like it was my fault while sitting in the chair that the assistant couldn't suck the water properly out of my throat so I didn't feel like I was drowning. This dentist office seems presentable and nice and accommodating but once you are with them for years, you see how much this place is a shit show. It shouldn't take 4 months to bill me for something because of your guys inability to do your jobs correctly. The girls who clean your teeth are nice but if you have to deal with the any of the girls at the front desk, the dentist himself or his assistants who help with dental procedures, you're going to be sadly disappointed and your dental health will be sadly mismanaged and guided into the direction of overpriced, out of network, sub-par dentistry.

Absolutely fantastic! Dr. Huang, I just wanted to sincerely thank you for what you've done for my grandma. For the past 15 + years, she struggled with her dentures, and something as simple as eating comfortably became a daily challenge. More than that, I could see how much it affected her confidence and the way she felt about herself. The new dentures you made for her have given her so much more than a new smile. You've given her back the ability to eat comfortably, smile confidently, and feel like herself again. It truly means more to our family than I can put into words. Thank you for taking the time and care to help her when she had been struggling for so long. You made a real difference in her life, and we will always be grateful for that.

Every single visit has felt like an aggressive sales pitch rather than routine dental care. We have maintained consistent dental care for years and were never told we had extensive issues until coming here. Specifically: My daughter was lectured about her existing root canal. My husband and I were told we are required to get expensive "deep cleanings" before receiving regular cleanings, despite never having gum disease diagnosed previously. During my visit today, I was pressured to purchase a night guard. When I decided to hold off and asked to schedule a normal cleaning, I was told at check-out that it wasn't allowed due to suddenly having gum disease. Like what??? The constant upselling and pressure make us feel like profit is being prioritized over patient care. Given these experiences, we will not be continuing with your practice.

Strongly caution anyone considering this office. I was given an estimate of $0 out of pocket after…read moreinsurance for a few cavities. After the procedure, I received a bill for $1,200. When I contacted them about the original written estimate showing $0 due, the office manager said the estimate was just that, an estimate, and refused to honor it or change it in any way. I can understand an estimate being a few hundred dollars off; let's even be gracious and say $500 off, but it is grossly negligent for a billing department to estimate a bill of $0 and then send me such a ridiculous bill. This appears to be a classic bait-and-switch: give an unrealistically low estimate to get the patient in the chair, then bill thousands after the work is irreversible. The dishonest billing practices make it impossible to recommend this dentist to anyone. Save yourself the headache. Go literally anywhere else! Update: In reply to the owner's response: Thank you for your reply. Two points require correction: 1. You stated that you were willing to work towards a resolution: That did not happen. When I specifically asked your office manager if any portion of the $1,200 bill could be adjusted, discounted, or written off, she stated that no adjustments of any kind were possible. 2. No profanity was used with your staff. The facts remain: your office provided a $0 estimate, and some variance is expected. However, receiving a bill from your office of $1200 is not a small insurance variance.

My entire life have hated going to the dentist, so when I was visiting some friends in Bakersfield and chipped a tooth, I was mortified of having to see a dentist that I've never been to before.

Dr. Shah was incredible at listening to me complain about what hapoened, putting me at ease and then fixing my issue in the fastest way possible. His work was beautiful. I've never had a better experience at a dental office in my life. My only regret is that I live in Southern California, and I can't drive all the way to Bakersfield everytime I need to go to the dentist.
