My dental cleaning with Jacquelyn felt rushed and impersonal. She did not introduce herself at the…read morestart of the appointment, and there was very little communication throughout the cleaning. Instead of asking me to open my mouth, instruments were often placed directly in front of it without verbal instruction. The entire cleaning lasted approximately 15-20 minutes, which felt brief and hurried. The flossing technique also felt improper and rushed. When Dr. Oster came in, he did not introduce himself either. He immediately tapped on my front tooth and stated that a nerve had died, then pointed out yellow discoloration that I had never previously noticed. He commented, "Well now you will, especially in pictures," which felt unnecessary and unsettling. I still do not see the discoloration he described. The conversation quickly shifted toward cosmetic treatment options and ways my dual insurance could be billed. The focus felt more financial and cosmetic than educational or patient-centered. I left feeling self-conscious about my teeth and uncomfortable with how the interaction was handled. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this office to others seeking attentive, communicative, and patient-centered dental care.

After the surgery, I called the office to follow up and ask questions about the recommended steroid medication. When I expressed concerns about taking steroids, the staff member on the phone began discussing another patient's personal genetic history related to steroid use, which felt like a serious HIPAA violation. When I pointed this out, the staff member Brianna became upset transferred me to Dr. Cline who ended the call without any help. The situation left me feeling very uncomfortable and concerned about both the professionalism and the handling of patient information.

It's like a personal concert while receiving the best care in the most amazing tranquil setting with beautiful artwork all around. The doctor and his staff are just incredible! I think he's maybe the fourth endodontist to work on one of my teeth. He fixed all the problems the other guys missed. I had two root canals done by him to fix work that others had done poorly. He's incredibly thorough. The treatment is done in 2 sessions and antibiotics were prescribed in my case. I feel very lucky to live within an hour's drive. I would drive 8 hours to see Dr. Jimenez. Oh, and I almost forgot that he is a magician with a needle - the shots don't hurt. I always ask for extra time and extra shots in the beginning and he was very accommodating and understanding.

Anyone who has a fear of dentists or a low pain threshold should try Dr. Jimenez. He is such a kind human and he will sing as he is saving your teeth.

I went back for a periodontal deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) and that went well, too -- even the scary part getting numbed up with multiple needles at the beginning (I hate that part)!

Dr. Singh and Dr. Patel are exceptional practitioners with a level of skill, integrity, and compassion that is truly rare. I am writing this as a patient, I am not an employee. I recently observed Dr. Singh perform a very tricky oral surgery on my husband--completely painless and beautifully executed--and Dr. Patel placed an implant on him with absolute precision. The quality of their work is outstanding. What really sets this office apart is their honesty. There is no upselling, ever. They are mindful of budgets and genuinely try to help patients receive excellent care without unnecessary costs. I also appreciate that we don't have to be referred out for specialty procedures; they offer top-notch services right in-house. The entire team is wonderful--kind, attentive, and highly professional.
