I am writing to share my exceptional experience with Dr. Lynne Baldassari-Cruz at San Carlos…read moreEndodontics in San Carlos, CA. Earlier today, I had dental work done by Dr. Baldassari-Cruz and was incredibly impressed with the entire visit. From the moment that I first arrived, her office staff greeted me warmly and professionally. After I settled in, they clearly outline their proposed course of action for my treatment. Once in the dental chair, Dr. Baldassari-Cruz reviewed with me my previous X-rays. Before starting any work, she thoughtfully asked if I had any other concerns. When I mentioned an additional issue, she immediately adjusted her course of action and addressed that area first. Afterwards, she proceeded to the area that she had already identified. Throughout the entire dental appointment, Dr. Baldassari-Cruz demonstrated a truly personal and caring approach. She gave me several choices of which course of treatment should be completed. This individual attention and care is something that I have rarely, if ever, encountered at other dental facilities. Outstanding! I highly recommend Dr. Lynne Baldassari-Cruz and her team for their exceptional dental services! Steve Wozniak

This place wanted to do more xrays plus additional things that were not necessary. Not one friendly face approached me. They also did not want to work with me on a payment plan I could afford. This was my first experience with this office and my last. Would not recommend at all. Its super sad when someone comes in to a dentistry setting and they are turned away due to financial situations. Would not recommend.

As a result, I was very nervous about my upcoming root canal. Dr. Chang and her staff were attentive, courteous and very personable. (I didn't mention the movie though) As per the instructions on their website I popped a couple of Advils prior to the visit. There was a very tiny pinch when local anesthesia was administered. I could barely feel it. Listened to some calming music during the procedure which made it really comfortable. Dr. Chang knows her stuff. She and her staff are beyond amazing. If I could give them a billion stars instead of 5 I would. Don't think twice about going here and be nice to them!

This is a longer review, but it's absolutely worth reading if you have the time…read more I'd like to start by sharing that I previously worked as a dental assistant. While I'm no longer in the field, I do have firsthand knowledge of dental practices and procedures--and I genuinely loved the work I did. Dr. Kim is truly exceptional. Having worked with many dentists, I can confidently say I have never seen the level of care, knowledge, patience, and compassion that Dr. Kim consistently provides to his patients. I found Dr. Kim while searching for a dentist for my elderly stepfather, who needed extensive dental work after decades of neglect. In his 70s, he hadn't seen a dentist in over 40 years and required full extractions in preparation for dentures. To complicate matters, he had recently suffered a heart attack, is on medications that make dental procedures more complex, and is not in the best overall health. From the very beginning, Dr. Kim took the time to truly understand my stepfather's situation--not just dentally, but medically as well. He approached his care with a thoughtful, conservative, and team-oriented mindset, which is not something you find with every dentist. Trust me when I say that. Although this has been a long and ongoing process, Dr. Kim continues to go above and beyond in ways that are far from typical. He personally follows up after hours, prioritizes continuity of care, and takes the time to thoroughly explain procedures to both patients and caregivers. He is always accessible for questions via calls, emails, or other communication, and he makes every patient feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. I truly cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kim. His level of dedication, communication, and willingness to take on complex cases is rare and deserves recognition. Had I known about him earlier, I may have stayed in the dental field because providers like him make such a meaningful difference. His office staff is equally wonderful--friendly, professional, and supportive--and the office itself is always clean, bright, and up to date. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kim to anyone looking for a dentist who is not only knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate and committed to patient care. I am incredibly grateful for everything he has done for my stepfather, especially for making him feel respected, understood, and comfortable throughout this journey. Thank you, Dr. Kim and team, for being one of the best dental practices I've ever experienced. Please understand I wished I could truly get across how amazing Dr Kim is and I hope him and his team sees this review and accepts the amount of gratitude I hold to them

I only got to see Dr. Konrad a handful of times before he retired but I can say that he was a…read morecompletely unremarkable dentist in the best possible way. I never had any remarks to make about him because he did everything anyone ever expects a dentist to do. He listened to your problem, took a look around, proposed a solution or two and told you how much each one was going to cost. If something he did didn't work out, he'd have you back to correct the problem. All very normal and fine and not something you run around talking about for any reason. Shortly after his farewell I had an old crown pop off while flossing. Not the end of the world but not something you want to leave for too long either so I set up an appointment with the new guy because I didn't feel like hunting around town for a new patient appointment. The crown was damaged but I didn't have $3K to blow on a new one so the new guy said he could re-cement the old one in and see how much longer it would last for $350, I said fine and we did just that. He seemed very ill-at-ease and awkward throughout the visit--like he really wanted to be anywhere else--but it was all over and done with soon enough. As with most crown placements, what feels okay in the chair after you've had your jaw wedged open for 20 minutes doesn't always feel okay once you go home and start actually chewing on it so some minor adjustments were necessary. I've never had any dentist in any town charge me for follow up adjustments immediately after they'd just glued the thing in, but new guy wanted another $150 for his five minutes after the grinding had been done. I wasn't in the mood to argue about it so I just paid and left but it's really been bugging me ever since. Especially considering the stoic, unconcerned attitude I had to push through just to get him to do his damn job. I get that he didn't make the crown so he might not feel any pressing need to guarantee someone else's work but it still just felt punitive and gross and he very clearly didn't want anything to do with me so I have little choice but to reciprocate the sentiment. Trust fund kids and other little emperors may very well have an altogether different experience than I did.
