I can't tell you how many times Dr Coombs had to come in his office on weekends and other late appointments because my permanent bottom bridge came off and he had to re-cement it The last time I was sitting in his office on a Saturday after he just got back from Lake Tahoe. We had a heart-to-heart discussion and he told me it was time to take action. So it began, 10 months of treatment procedures, and all kinds of handholding and Support. Dr. Coombs is not only a very gifted and talented dentist, but he is one of the kindest and most compassionate dental providers you could ever meet. He and his wife, Dr. Brewer are the perfect team, if it's possible to have enjoyable dentistry, believe me they make it like that. Their Staff is amazing my hygienist Gina Spence has been cleaning my teeth for 23 years, that's how long I have been with this practice, finally, I have completed the process and now I just have a few adjustments, but my teeth are gorgeous. Thank you, Dr. Coombs for being with me on this long journey, I don't think I could have gone through this without your kindness and support and friendship.

I had been an established patient with the dental practice for several years and, prior to this…read moresituation, had no complaints about the quality of dental care I received. Unfortunately, significant staff turnover and ongoing scheduling problems have since made it unnecessarily difficult to access care in a timely manner. I had scheduled a cleaning and checkup with my regular dentist six months in advance. Approximately one week before the scheduled appointment, I was notified that it would have to be rescheduled because the practice no longer had a hygienist. While I understand that staffing issues can arise, I do not understand why the entire appointment had to be canceled, particularly when the cleaning and the dental examination could have been treated as separate services. More importantly, I was not given a reasonable alternative for receiving the examination before my dental insurance expired. I had been paying COBRA dental insurance premiums throughout the year specifically so that I would have coverage for this scheduled appointment. Having the appointment canceled with only about a week's notice left me in a difficult financial position and effectively prevented me from using the coverage I had been paying for. I specifically asked whether my regular dentist could see me before my insurance expired. My understanding was that my original appointment had been reassigned to another dentist, who subsequently left the practice as well. Despite the fact that my regular dentist--the dentist with whom I had originally scheduled the appointment--was still practicing at the office, I was told that it was "not possible" for her to see me before my insurance coverage expired. I find this particularly concerning because I had done everything reasonably expected of a patient: I had established care with the practice, scheduled my appointment six months in advance, maintained dental insurance coverage specifically for that appointment, and explained the insurance dilemma to the scheduler as soon as I learned there was a scheduling problem. Nevertheless, because of the practice's staffing and scheduling issues, I was left without a meaningful opportunity to receive the care I had planned and paid to have covered. While I understand that staffing changes are sometimes unavoidable, the way this situation was handled was not reasonable or patient-centered. At a minimum, I believe the practice should have made a good-faith effort to accommodate the examination with my established dentist before my insurance expired, rather than simply telling me that doing so was "not possible."

retired physician new to area. made a new patient apt. waited over 3o mins for dentist to tell me…read morei have taken great care of my teeth but refused to clean my teeth and recommended a SRP deep cleaning only in all quadrants. totally unnecessary and not how you treat a senior. this was something that may have been necessary for a few teeth that needed extra deep cleaning. called my previous dentist to find out if that was something I would need since I just saw him 4 months ago. He confirmed it wasn't. Paying for an exam that gives you no value and then they don't clean you unless you sign up for over a 2,000 cleaning. Waste of time and money. None of this was communicated when you make the apt. no patient service what so ever but still collected the exam fee. I called the office back and told the assistant how I felt and what my dentist had told me. Most legit family dentists would at least applogize and say well we won't take your money because we did not treat you we denied treating you. What a terrible practice to treat new Patients like that. The girls stated that they were in practice for 10 years and then built their new big office. They could care less what I was telling them. I actually did speak to the doctor and he just made excuses and told me that I just paid for what I got. Just to see him. No cleaning. It will be interesting to see if I receive a call from the owner.

So I amended the agreement with the words "excluding public reviews." The doctor refused to see me. I've seen three reviews of his office that were quite negative. What is he afraid of?
