The other is Dr. Johnson of Johnson Family Dentist in Solvang. Although my first visit was today, Dr. Johnson and his staff were friendly and professional. The bent over backwards to accommodate an emergency that almost interfered with me making my appointment. Having moved from the Long Beach area, it is comforting to find a great dentist in our area.

On January 24th, 2025 at 2:30 PM, I attended my appointment to Johnson family dentistry at 678…read moreAlamo Pintado in Solvang, California, Santa Barbara county. I had been referred to a dentist who was willing to do a root canal and recrown of one of my lower molars. I located them as they were the only ones within a 200 mile radius that took my insurance. My regular dentist, Dr Smith, at Feather Dentistry in San Luis Obispo, California, was not willing to do the work. But she had recommended me to someone who would, based on her assessment that I had a need for a new crown and a root canal. I arrived at the dental office and was attended to buy a Dr Johnson. He saw what was required, based on what he read from my referral dentist Dr Smith, and suggested we do the root canal and the crown that very day. I accepted. During the process of the root canal and the crown, Dr Johnson complained frequently that the entire process was quite difficult and seemed to have a problem getting at a point where he was satisfied with the work. I was very roughly treated, although not remarking so because I had no idea if this was normal or not. After quite a heavy physical struggle, he completed the process of both a root canal, and a crown. The final half an hour was done by his dental assistant, whose name I do not have. She seemed like about 35 or 40 years old, Latina, and finished whatever was necessary to complete the medical process. After paying around $1,000 out of pocket as well as whatever was required through my insurance, I left. Within a couple of days I felt that there was something very uncomfortable about the tooth. On April 1, 2025, I went to my regular dentist, D. Smith and talked to my hygienist. I said that I was feeling that there was something uncomfortable about the tooth. So consulting with Dr Smith, my regular dentist, they proceeded to do an x-ray and visual inspection of the tooth. One was noticed that an adjacent tooth had been chipped. So my dentist filled that chip tooth. I asked her if this could have been a result of the actions of Dr Johnson. She said probably not. But of course she was not sure. At the same time, or at some later date, she let me know that in fact the subject tooth the one requiring the root canal and crown had been cracked. She said it in the long run, it would need to be removed, and replaced with either a bridge or an implant. She also suggested that I have a more detailed optical image taken of the injury.

Vivana, at the front desk, was incredibly kind and informational. She was happy to answer any questions I had, and trust me I had quite a few. The dental hygienist, Jill, provided a compassionate climate, showing she really cares about the patients wellbeing and comfortability the entire time. Dr. Coon showed great chairside manner and was really helpful with any concerns or questions I had. The building is very conveniently located with a cozy office that is tremendously welcoming. They even set out little snacks and beverages in a mini refrigerator for anyone in the waiting room to enjoy or take with them on the way out. I mean, you really cannot get any better service than this!

He sure did make it miserable for me. So he continued with me being in great pain!. Also when she was fitting me for my temporary crown it felt like she didn't know what she was doing. She fitted it so many times & one of the times it had to be taken out & felt like she was having a hard time taking it out to redo! It felt horrible! When I came back they still had to shape crown in place & it was painful again, & he kept going til eventually got it in place, wow it hurt so much! I have left dentist I was only with them 6 months!

If smiles like hers is what I'm in for when my work is done; I'm definitely looking forward to the completed job. Alondra, and all the other young ladies hard at work here make this place feel as if a welcoming committee has been scouted by Dr. Hobie, who by all means is more than a professional. His work ethics are skills to be admired, when it comes to professional attitude, patience, tactical approach and care towards his patients; he has not missed yet. I been there several times and as allergic to pain that I am, he takes the cake when it comes to making going to the dentist seem like a walk in the park. And this is coming from someone who would rather take a bullet than going to the dentist, they terrify me. Dr. Hobie though, and those dynamic members of his team, are not only beautiful, but professional in every sense of the word. I really admire his and their dedication, understanding, and commitment when it comes to their patients. The quality by which they operate this office make should be the motto by which all these other family practices operate. Thank you Dr. Hobie, and thank you beautiful gals.
