I was phobic about visiting a dentist to have my broken wisdom teeth extracted. I came in and…read moreexplained to the receptionist how crazy nervous and scary this kind of thing was to me and she kindly walked me through the entire process without judgement. The day of was a breeze. I remember counting backwards in the chair and then being outside getting in the car, all my wisdom teeth out in less than an hour. It's 4 years later and I have had no issues. Highly recommended, especially if you are super nervous about this kind of thing like I am!

My fathers dentist referred him to Dr. Patel to have 2 teeth in the back removed, I made an appt…read more with Dr. Patel and took my Dad to the appt. We took the x-ray and referral to the appt. Dr. Patel said the x-ray was not sufficient and he needed to take another one, a lady from the front desk came and talked to me telling me she had to let me know it was going to be exspensive, $175.00 but the Dr. needed it. So I agreed. After the x-ray, Dr. Patel came back in and said he needed 5 teeth pulled and it would be $3,000.00 I was stunned! Also that did not include todays visit. I told them I would have to see what I could come up with, I did not have $3000. They told me I could apply for Care Credit or Cherry, I did and was approved for $9000. to be used only at Dr. Patels office. Paid cash $300.00 for today made an appt for a week away. My Dad is 93 and on a limited income and I also wanted to check with his Dr. to make sure it was ok to do this. The next day after thinking about everything, I felt as if we were being taken advantage of. I went back to original dentist and told them what happened. He decided he would do it himself. Which he did and all is well. Another thing I did not like was Dr Patels office gave no breakdown on the charges just $3,000. I would not advise anybody to go here.

This place has been very difficult to work with post my daughters surgery. She was seen on March…read more17th for treatment including 2 "nu-smile" teeth. I went here instead of her regular dentist so she could be put under. I will say the dental staff was great and procedure smooth and quick. However the office staff has not been helpful. I paid $500 on the day of the visit for the "nu-smile" teeth and they told me they would bill my insurance (which in my policy clearly states they are covered at 100%). They told me they would confirm with my insurance and refund me once my insurance pays them. That it should take about a month. End of March, I get my explanation of benefits stating my insurance paid them, I say okay I should get my money back and get a call. Nope. When I call they act confused as to what I am talking about. The people I need to talk too (insurance and billing) always seem to be busy, or on lunch, so I get messages relayed through the secretary which makes communication difficult. I call my insurance who states the check was cashed by them in March 29th, yet this provider can't seem to "find it" even after I give them the check number via my insurance. They say it sometimes takes a couple weeks to process and to give it a couple weeks. Fast forward to April 21st, still no call back from them and no update when I call them except, the check from insurance is still pending (Really?!). I call May 11th, there response is still the check to me will be written soon and they will call me when it is sent out. I am hoping this will get their attention because this is insurance fraud as far as I am concerned as both me and my insurance has paid them. My next step is filing a grievance to get my money back. It has been 3 MONTHS. I will update this review when/if I get my money back.

My son has had a few bad experiences at the dentist. Central California Dental Surgicenter was…read moreawesome! They make sure he felt safe and they did a really good job taking care of his dental needs while he was sedated. My son liked the bubble gum scent of the anesthesia. They let him pick out a movie to watch. My only small complaint was the wait time. They said because it was so close to Christmas, that was their busiest time of year. They were trying to accommodate as many patients as they could. They told me that even if my insurance wouldn't cover it, they do not bill the parents of patients. They kept their word too. I couldn't have been more pleased.
