I was happy having my first son treated there and would have stayed until my younger son had a raging toothache. Crying after he ate, the works, he was in a lot of pain. He had a lot of work to be done. The dentist recommended sedation (which is why I went to him with my first kid). The only problem was he didn't have anything for 2 months! His other office in San Bernardino (since he's only in town one day a week) was still 6 weeks out. After discussion, he would do the worst one that hurt him with gas sedation, but the rest would have to be under general anesthesia. I had to shop around and found that my son didn't need general, he did great with gas, and everything got done. Since I went to another dentist and didn't need general, it cost almost $1500 less out of my pocket. I would have never known how much more the charges are here without having to look somewhere else.

Because my son wasn't totally comfortable having his teeth checked by the dentist while sitting in the chair, they had him sit in my lap and it worked great. They also appear to be pretty affordable and inclusive, and I believe they might have staff who speak Spanish (but call ahead to double check if needed).

I visited this location on 02/13 with Dr. Salamati. Unfortunately, my experience was one I will…read morenever forget. I brought my two year old in for a dental check up, before I made the appointment I let them know ahead of time that my son was not comfortable and may scream. The receptionist said that was no problem. During the appointment, my two year old was screaming, as expected. Dr. Salamati then turned to me and said "Is he autistic?". Surprised by this question, I replied "no" as he has not been diagnosed nor screened for this. Continuing the appointment, Dr. Salamati, kept making the comment to my son "If you keep screaming, you're not getting a toy". This was said a few times. After the exam, she told my son "Since you screamed the whole time, you're not getting a toy!". After explaining the findings of the exam, she then turned to my son and said "OK! Are you ready to pick out a toy?!" I do NOT feel this interaction or type of communication is acceptable. This made me very embarrassed and uncomfortable I went back and forth making this review, but I feel it is necessary as a provider should NEVER make parents or patients feel that way. I am deeply saddened by this experience

I heard her verbally screams stop, It hurts mom dad. So we go back there and we're told to get out. A minute passes, even after she verbally told them to stop The dental assistant held her down while the dentist continued to torture her. That is abuse. Then they numbed my husband's mouth up, And told him he had to leave Because I went in to ask for gauze because they failed to give us some and she had blood all over her jacket dripping out of her mouth because I went in to ask for Gause which they should have given her in the 1st place. This place needs to stop it is hurting children they have no experience with special needs and the office manager Yasmin Hernandez Needs to be fired. I have multiple disabilities myself when I asked her forther names and a number I can call to complain she threw paper at me and told me to write it down myself I told her I cannot write and then she says oh but you can get degrees ha taunting my disabilities. You have no work ethic or professionalism at all you don't know how to talk to people or treat people you should not be an office manager you should not be dealing with people at all . You tossed a referral slip on the counter for my child, I went to grab it and you snatched everything out of my hands and said you thought I was trying to grab files OK 1st and foremost the files were 4" away from that letter, if you didn't want me reaching anywhere over there maybe you should have slid it through the window. Point is you do not have the right to grab things out of people's hands when you're trying to give it to You are very rude and the way that you talk to people, So disrespectful.We have filed and called the dentist board. Maybe next time you should listen to people when they tell you to stop and not forcefully hold them down or better yet see them at their appointment time when they're medicated so they don't have to wake up screaming. That much blood out of a child's mouth do you know how much trauma you caused her My heart breaks for any special need kid that goes to your office. It was Mario j. Castellano who worked on her. And yasmin hernandez who mocks disabilities, tosses stuff at people and snatches your own papers from hand. I do not know the assistants name but she had her hair died a purplish blue. I think thats the one that held down an autistic child who begged to stop.

I was looking for a dentist for my daughter. I will be honest with you... I am a large man and when…read moreI read that last review... Whoa!!!! it scared me. We all love our children and don't want them to scream or be in pain but I just felt maybe this person had a bad experience or some other reason for thier visceral disgust. So, I thought I should check it out for myself. Here is my objective, unbiased view. GREAT! Complete total opposite of this other person. The place is clean, brightly painted with nice kid colors. There is a playstation in the waiting room and even though it was hard to figure out, MY problem, we still did and it was fun. The doctor was very friendly and professional and knew what she was doing. I would say very competent. There staff was good as well. Friendly and over and over called my daughter by her name! I LIKE THAT. On the chair, my daughter had a TV on the ceiling that she laid down and watched. At first I thought she just had music to relax to with the headphones but then I looked up and there was a tv, that made me laugh. What an idea that is. My daughter was truly distracted. I held her hand because I AM the whimp and I sure don't want her to feel ANY pain... you know? What parent does but she had no problem, no issues. She is not TRAMATIZED by the dentist visit. As a matter of fact... she had a small cavity and it needs to be filled. I asked the doctor if she was going to fill it today and she said no, we don't like to do that because we like the first visit to be a positive one so she is not scared of the dentist. Cause YES, I am sure filling a cavity is not a pleasureable experience. How could it be! So the other review... Yes, I know... scary but what can you do... has to be done. She will get gas when she comes back the next time to relax her and I will hold her hand again... and yes the doctor will have to drill... that is what needs to be done BUT there is no pavlov experience here... she has good feelings and good thoughs and was a positive experience so she is not scared to come back. VERY SMART!!! My daughter actually smiled and was proud of herself. They had a treasure chest and a new toothbrush she got... instructions on how to brush, toothpaste and a toy. Come mon... I am a big softy but what more can you do to make it easier for a child. Ahhh, yes, general anithesia but is that always safe to do all the time? No, there are big risks... some don't wake up. I liked her a lot. Nice person and knowledgable... friendly as her staff and the only thing missing from her office is Willy Wonka and his assistant Dora!!!! I would say not to be affraid and scared off by what the other person wrote. I had to check it out for mself. I can always walk out and say... nevermind but each step of the way in the process... I was more and more relaxed. Trust me... after the drama review... Yikes! I was really freakin nervous. If you read mine... please go and find out for yourself if you go or take the time to read this book. I just felt it was such an unfair review that I had to write something myself to set the record straight. Truly and honestly. Dr. Lin is our new daughters dentist, for sure. A very nice person and a beautiful office with truly competent staff who uses her name and is friendly... what more could someone want??? Geez. Thats all you need!!!

I realized after the 10 min. this was my daughter screaming like this, so I ran back to the room and opened the door n dr lin had my daughters head between her knees while an assistant was holding my daughters hands down. I asked why she is in so much pain n she told me my daughter was just nervous, I asked to to stop the root canal, because something was wrong. I had never heard my daughter scream so loudly before so I knew the degree of pain she was in. I removed her from the dentist chair and took her out the dental office. When we got home she was shakning bad from her nerves feeling the whole procedure, of 15 to 20 minutes...not one time did she stop to ask my daughter if she was ok during her screaming and she was given only one anesthetic shot that did not work for my daughter at all, so her primary dr said usually when the 1st one doesnt work they can offer a second one in hopes to actually numb the area, come to find out my daughter felt the whole procedure of the drill n all. she shook for hours after because of her nerve endings and the pain recpetors in her mouth, she was never offered any other form of pain meds only 1 shot which did not numb her at all n even with a child screaming like my girl was she never gave her any other relief but to hold her down and continue drilling....I want everyone to be careful when letting your child go back there and ask for numbing meds like gas...that works like a charm. Shots do not always take effect the first time...My daughter is severly traumatized and never wants to see a dentist ever again,....n as a mom I feel horrible like I wasnt there to protect her from being hurt n she couldnt speak up to say im hurting becasue she was held down and never given the chance...so please be aware n careful....I wish she was offered another shot instead of continuing to drill her root with no pain meds...how horrible this must feel...as an adult I know this pain is horrible n my daughter is very tough as she can handle her immunization shots with no crying...and her original dentist she had 2 visits and 4 cavity filling and never cryed once...over pain..or his drilling of her fillings...IF YOU WALK INTO A ROOM AS YOUR CHILD IS SCREAMING BOOLY MURDER...YOU MIGHT WANT TO WONDER IF SHES NUMBED AT ALL..MORE THAN LIKELY IT IS NOT BECAUSE HE OR SHE IS NERVOUS...IT PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY R IN A WHOLE LOTTA PAIN...2010 November

However, the specialist visits have been frustrating. The Patients are asked to arrive 15 minutes early, but I waited almost an hour and only then found out the doctor was in surgery. Since surgeries can run longer than expected, it would help if patients were told about delays ahead of time, especially when the specialist is only available at the office about two days a month. In addition, why schedule surgeries the same day of examination?
