Dr. Kami is exceptionally thorough. He takes his time, double-checks everything, and communicates clearly about what he's doing and why. I never feel rushed, and I always feel like my questions and concerns are taken seriously. Jen assisted with my most recent crown and was wonderful. The entire team is kind, attentive, and especially good with anxious patients. They listen, explain, empathize, and make a real effort to keep you comfortable. Even with three crowns, my experiences have been nearly painless. Dental work is never something I look forward to, but having a team that combines technical skill and attention to detail with excellent communication and genuine empathy makes an enormous difference. I'm very grateful to Dr. Kami, Jen, and the entire team for taking such good care of me. Highly recommend.

Went in for a new patient appointment and will not be returning…read more Their admin is a non-existent mess. It took three phone calls to even get an email address for them so I could send my prior x-rays. In office, the hygienist struggled to access the x-rays. Then she tells me their phone/email system is handled by someone in Pakistan: huge red flag. Is that HIPAA complaint? That's if you're a lucky new patient. Existing patient calls are answered by an AI agent. I know many won't notice or care about this, but I found the AI voice wildly off-putting and misogynist. The LLM imitates the voice of a teenager with intense vocal fry, bored affect, and unprofessional slang. Given how much AI is used for pornography, I believe this AI was trained on pornographic content. Fine if you're into that, but as a woman I don't think I should have to interact with porn just to call my dentist. I was irritated by all of this but wanted to give them a try anyway. Unfortunately, their medical service is also low quality. The dentist exam was very brief. He ordered an x-ray and then didn't even look at it, but instead accepted the hygienist's interpretation. I know this because there is no privacy in the office and you can hear all conversations between staff and other patients. Immediately after, I get an email that my follow up appointment was scheduled for a procedure I never consented to. When I replied stating I did not schedule this appointment, I was told that their AI system schedules these automatically. They also have a fairly harsh cancelation policy - $50 fee for cancelling with 72 hours, longer than industry standards. It seems they just make appointments without consent from patients in hopes of collecting fraudulent fees. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau about this practice, which I do not think should be legal. I have nothing positive to recommend about this place. Lesson: never ignore red flags and get your teeth cleaned elsewhere.

Do you actually want to see a dentist when you go to the dentist? If so, avoid Total Health…read moreDental. When my daughter and I arrived for our appointments we were told that there was no dentist on site for the day. I assumed they would have us return to actually see a dentist. Instead, they put a camera on us after our cleanings and had a dentist on a computer screen. He could not see inside of my mouth or do any exam. They actually billed our insurance for a remote dentist. They fired their receptionist and instead have a person on a computer screen when you arrive. If you try and call them to make an appointment or ask a question you will just be on the phone with an AI assistant. The AI makes exasperated sighs and even sometimes has side conversations, it's really bizarre. They have a constant turnover of dentists so don't expect to see the same dentist within the year. Their bottom line appears to be more important than high quality care. It used to be a much better business, but then they started firing people.

He performs what I'd call patient-centered care, he will explain what he sees and what he recommends, he doesn't talk down or presume he knows what treatment is right for you without first talking it through. Also he understands sometimes less is more and doesn't push gimmicky or unnecessary treatments. Only thing he 'pushes' is the bar for level of service... higher that is. Throw in a sense of humor and great attitude, If you're looking for an exceptional dentist I recommend you give Dr. Smithers a call.

I've always kept up with my dental cleanings and exams twice a year when I lived in SF, and my previous dentist never recommended anywhere near that amount of work. So I was shocked! To make things worse, they asked me to pay $2k upfront in exchange for a 7% discount. That was the moment I decided I needed a second opinion. I did some online research, and that's how I found Dr. Singh. I explained my situation to him, and he was willing to take a look. I showed him the treatment plan from the previous clinic, and he thoroughly evaluated it alongside my teeth, taking X-rays and carefully working through each item on the list to understand whether the recommended treatments were actually necessary. We went through the entire plan together, tooth by tooth. At the end of my visit, Dr. Singh did not recommend a single item from that plan. He told me those treatments were not needed right now, that my teeth were fine, and that I was overall in really good health. He simply prescribed me a fluoride toothpaste, and that was it! Dr. Singh is knowledgeable, kind, gentle, and he won't hard sell or push unnecessary, expensive treatments on you.
