    I returned! 7 months later!…read more I came here two days ago to get my three wisdom teeth removed. Once again Dr. Appelblatt and her crew entire crew were amazing. They made me feel welcomed and cared for from conversations upon arrival to after care. I am extremely thankful and appreciate all of them who participated in my surgery before and once again! This time I went under IV Anesthesia. She was funny, sweet and reassuring. I remember glimpses of the sounds during procedure but nothing more. She got me in and out in no time! They sent me home with an awesome fabric ice pack head / face wrap which has been helping with my recovery and a little bag which consisted of my after care instructions and vanilla ice cream! (which they let you choose your flavor which I found as an adorable, simple and thoughtful little after care). The oral surgery went well! Still in pain but nothing from the normal! The after care as usual was amazing. She followed up with me a couple of hours later and then a couple hours after her follow up; going into the next day, the office followed up with me as well. I definitely can say this is the only place I will go to for any work around or in the basin, and it is the only place I recommend for extractions or oral surgery.

    Kevin Cassidy retired and now there is a new dentist taking his place who does not have the…read moreexperience or skills that Dr. Cassidy has. I was very disappointed when I made an appointment with Dr. Cassidy but was greeted with the new dentist that didn't know what she was doing and did not fix what I was there for.

    My partner and I have been patients at Tahoe Dentist for several years and have been very happy…read morewith Dr. Cassidy, his staff, and the service. However, if you are considering this office for dental care, you should know that Dr. Cassidy sold his practice a while back (I'm not sure when). The new owers or at least the new management are not so great. The office manager (Janine) is NOT nice, she has no concept of customer relations, and as a result, we will no longer be using Tahoe Dentist. We switched insurance companies back in Jan (2022) and scheduled our annual cleaning a few months after. Once at the office, we gave the staff our new insurance information and specifically asked if the yearly cleaning and X-rays would be covered (as they had been for every cleaning we have had for over 25 years). We were told YES, of course, it would be covered. A few weeks later, we received a bill for $200+ each for the service. I called and had a conversation about the $400+ bills with Janine and was told in a very matter-of-fact and RUDE way that we needed to pay for the service because "it's not her fault that our insurance would not pay". BTW, Janine is not that great at getting back to you; according to the phone log, I had to call and text over 30 times to have this conversation. So I called our insurance and was told that "if we had gone to an in-network dentist, the serevice would have been covered 100%, and if Tahoe Dentist and checked, they would have been told that. Realizing what had happened, I called Janine back and offered to compromise and pay 50% of the cost. I did this because while they DID tell us the service would be 100% covered, I should have checked with my insurance myself (lesson learned). Janine got back to me a few days later with a 20% discount. Not because she or the office staff had done anything wrong, but because "we are good customers". She also wanted me to know how LUCKY we were to be getting that discount because WE were 100% responsible". NOTE TO THE NEW OWNERS OF TAHOE DENTIST: I know the customer is not always right, but we have been good customers spending thousands of $(out of pocket) at this office over the years, not to mention what was billed to our insurance. Janine is (in our opinion) not well suited for customer relations; she is rude, unnecessarily aggressive, and just awful for business. Also, I have not paid the bills yet because they still don't show the 20% discount.

    I'm genuinely disappointed to have to write this review after 15 years as a patient, but this…read moreexperience was unacceptable and, frankly, the final straw. Without any effort from your office to hear my account or offer even a basic acknowledgment of what occurred, I feel forced to document the facts here. This is part of a broader pattern that reflects a consistent and significant decline in professionalism and patient care. Your recent letter shaming me was despicable, short-sighted and indefensible, and only reinforced how unprofessional and poorly the office is now being managed. Since the departure of Dr. Lusby, a skilled, kind, and exemplary dentist, the practice has deteriorated from the inside out. What was once a patient-focused environment now feels impersonal, transactional, and driven by aggressive upselling just like a used car sales lot. My most recent interaction with your new dental hygienist (apx. 60 y/o, blonde - I was not given her name) was deeply unprofessional and rude. To characterize my behavior as disrespectful is simply untrue and clearly is projection. On the contrary, I remained calm and respectful throughout. Each visit increasingly feels less like healthcare and more like used-car sales lot. The constant pressure to purchase additional services like trays, molds, whitening treatments, unnecessary X-rays every visit, veneers, crowns, and costly memberships, is excessive, unwelcome, and inappropriate. I have never had a cavity, never needed braces, and have maintained consistent cleanings my entire life making me in the top 5 percentile of adults. On this particular day, I was scheduled only for a routine cleaning and polish, and I was clear that I was short on time. During the cleaning, the hygienist aggressively prodded my gums with a sharp instrument. I calmly asked her to "take it easy". Rather than adjusting, she became defensive and continued with increased force blaming it on my poor lack of care. Afterward, she proceeded to pitch two additional procedures, despite my earlier indication that I was only available for a clean and polish. When I politely declined one and said I would consider the other at a later time, she became visibly irritated. I chose not to engage in an argument and reiterated that I was there only for a cleaning and would seek a second opinion if needed. At that point, her behavior escalated dramatically... she abruptly stood up, threw her instrument down, and stormed out of the room, leaving me sitting there. After waiting a couple of minutes, I walked down the hall and calmly asked if she intended to complete the cleaning I had come in for. Her response was, "No. If you're not going to let me do my job, you can leave." When I clarified whether she was refusing to complete the scheduled cleaning I had come in for, she again told me to LEAVE. This came immediately after she had attempted to alarm me by claiming I had periodontal disease, sleep apnea and was a mouth breather. None of which are true as I previously completed a sleep study. Apparently now dental hygienists are allowed to give medical claims as an MD regarding areas of expertise they are not licensed for? Threatening me that I would lose all my teeth if I didn't act immediately, was the final straw. These claims were not only inconsistent with my lifelong dental history but were delivered in a manner that felt more like fear-based high-pressure sales tactics than legitimate medical guidance. Moreover, a second opinion from a different Dentist office confirmed I don't have Periodontitis. Shocking! The accusations in your letter, that I raised my voice (not close), arrived late (I was 4 minutes behind), disregarded staff time (actually disregarding mine), or improperly took photographs of office materials are inaccurate. The only photo taken was of the QR code displayed on your counter specifically for the purpose of leaving this review. Equally concerning is that neither of the dentists made any effort to contact me to discuss the situation or return my call. This lack of accountability stands in stark contrast to the excessive volume of automated emails, texts, and calls your office sends leading up to appointments, along with ongoing solicitations for raffles begging for more clients. It is also not surprising, in this context, that your office appears to have a revolving door of staff this I've gauged over the last decade shortly after Dr. Lusby's retirement. This practice has declined significantly, and I will no longer be a patient. I will also be transitioning my entire family elsewhere for dental care. Additionally, I will share this experience honestly with others, especially those new to the Tahoe area, so they can make informed decisions. I have never been treated with such disrespect. Furthermore, public acceptance here of facts and an apology from you and this dental hygienist would be the right thing to do. Let's see if you do.

I'm the biggest pansy when it comes to needles and really just being anywhere near a doctor - I let them know and they made the whole procedure relaxing and they were amazing.

    I've been a patient of Dr Dryden off and on for several years and couldn't be more pleased…read more First, let me begin by mentioning his staff. All are very professional, friendly and helpful. Some of the best I've had the opportunity to get to know. Next, Dr Dryden himself. I have had years and years of extensive dental work including many, many extractions and implants. Dr Dryden is the BEST oral surgeon that I have even been associated with. He is very professional and personable and is even tolerant of my occasional humor. Unlike so many in the medical field, Dr Dryden takes the time to listen and then clearly explain the procedures in terms that can be understood by his patients. My recent visit was yesterday for two extractions and one implant. I am not fond of either procedure but Dr Dryden and his staff were able to calm me as best as possible. The procedures went very smoothly. Even afterward, I experienced very little discomfort. Dr Dryden even followed up last night with a personal call (which I missed because I was sleeping). This morning...very little discomfort and I am really able to begin my normal routine, with the exception of following the post op diet restrictions. I highly recommend Dr Dryden for any oral surgery requirements.
