Wow! Honestly I'm impressed with the quality of care I received here, Mr. Khan is phenomenal and…read morewas very patient, gave me good feedback and advice for my allergies. I actually felt heard and understood about my allergies and how severe they are, sometimes I feel that doctors think I'm just a head case and that I'm just making this up but he really made me realize that it's the attention to detail that the others didn't understand how to give and the judgements I DID NOT receive that made me feel like I'm given a human experience. So with that being said I would like to say thank you for today and all your help with this situation I've been just dealing with and trying to manage it for years so it was nice to have some kind helpful advice.

This was not the first appt they tried to cancel stating there was a staff shortage but you can clearly hear laughing and 'pass the sandwiches' in the background.

I complained to the quality director as well to look into these 'staff shortages' every Friday. because I refused to cancel they took my daughters appt since she has been experiencing pain due to loose brackets. In the 1.5 hours I waited for my daughter to complete her appt there was no other appt to check in or be called for their appt.

From the beginning, the genuine concern and care for the health of my teeth was number one! Every step of each treatment was explained and options given that made me feel in control and confident in decisions made. Each associate - Adrianna, Lindsey, Cassidy, Brittany and, of course, Dr. Ng - have extended professionalism, kindness and compassion to me and my family. I highly recommend this office for your dental care!

I love that the Dr let's me know everything that is going on as he works on my teeth, even the Dental Hygienist Hector is awesome to talk to. He is so full of stories and experiences and laughs! I have not been helped by Dr Young yet, only the other Dr, but he definitely knows what he is doing!

After calling a few places that had either no one answer, a long wait, or someone who sounded like me calling was a bother, I called Nipomo Dental Arts. I was greeted by such a pleasant and happy voice I honestly thought it was an automated message (in a good way). I was able to get scheduled quickly too with them letting me know of sooner openings as they became available. Upon arrival every single person that worked there was super happy and said hello to me. All the people that worked on me were all very knowledgeable and caring about the process. No one tried to upsell me on anything For my cleaning, Rea was great! I don't think I've ever had a cleaning be so nice or less irritating. Even had to go back for my first cavities and the dentist was really calm and talked me through the whole process so I knew what to expect and feel. I even got a check up call the next day just to see how I was doing. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new or better spot. Really good and happy people that like what they do, and I couldn't ask for anything else.

Due to a series of happy circumstances I was finally able to get an appointment with Doctor Hayes…read moreafter trying for six years, and I must say it was worth the wait. She exudes a warmth that immediately puts one at ease and this attitude carries over to her staff. From the receptionist to the dental assistants they all make every effort to make the visit a positive experience. My wife suffers from "dental anxiety" and dreads any work, to the point she's neglected necessary procedures. The doctor recognized her fear and prescribed anti anxiety medication for her next visit to help alleviate her fears. She even offered nitrous oxide if needed. An indication of doctor Hayes willingness to go a step beyond was when my wife mentioned she was having an issue with "dry eyes" during her visit and she was provided artificial tears. It was a small issue but it was indicative the care offered at this office.

For a few reasons I will not go into here I had been without a dentist. Like a normal person I'd…read morebeen procrastinating doing the research of finding a new dentist that had good reviews, took my insurance, seemed friendly, etc. Well the procrastination came to bite me in the butt with the world being in the middle of this COVID-19 crisis and nobody hardly being open, much less taking new patients. A twenty year old crown broke off my tooth, oh great. Despite the timing of all this Dr. Hayes was very gracious to get me in for an emergency repair and get me signed up as a regular patient. I was very pleased as she was my first pick of dentists to check out. She was running a lean staff due to the crisis but had me in and fixed up in a jiffy. The office itself has a very comfortable feel to it. Modern equipment but with friendly decor, not the doctor office vibe. Dr. Hayes herself is very friendly and knowledgeable. So nice I almost look forward to coming back for my regular appointment.

ANOTHER friend referred me to Bauer Dental; I did a lot of research and was impressed by their website and the technology they utilize in their practice. I set up a consult from their website, got a consultation appointment set up rather quickly, and got to meet with both dentists, Dr. Bauer and Dr. Sivo to discuss a treatment plan. I should note that they are "out of network" for most dental plans, and they did explain the costs of their treatment and options for payment plans. My decision to choose Bauer dental was based on the professionalism I experienced from my initial visit, where I met with the dentist, their office staff, and dental tech, Jose, who performed X-rays and scans. I honestly did not like the options for some of the other "in network" options offered by my dental plan. DENTAL APPOINTMENT SUMMARY: -I just had 3 cavities repaired and a replacement crown put in by Dr. Sivo, and the experience was aabsolutely painless and the work looks and feels great. Dr Sivo, and his dental technician, Alex, explained everything and answered all my questions. They have the technology to make a dental crown in their office (and since I had these types of dental crowns previously, I never wanted to go back to having a temporary crown for 2-3 weeks, and then to having to have a return for the final fitment of the permanent crown). The entire visit, including the buildup and placement of the new crown, took only 2.5 hours. I was not rushed, and neither were they- It just seemed to go that smoothly and efficiently. IN SUMMARY: Frankly, I did probably end up choosing (by FAR) the most expensive option of all the previously offices I mentioned; However, I don't recommend looking for the "cheapest" option when choosing a dentist; I do recommend doing a LOT of research. I have (unfortunately) needed a lot of work done over the decades (I am 65) and I believe in paying for high quality dental care by dentist with extensive education and training. Bauer Dental exceeded my expectations for a high tech dental office They seem to be most advanced dental office I have ever visited, utilizing the latest digital technology and high end equipment, operated by their well-trained team, and I have lived in over a dozen cities around the U.S. If this type of practice appeals to your standards, I do recommend Bauer Dental. Also, They do offer options for different types of flexible payment plans, if needed.

I'm pretty much in shock with the amount of money it cost to have two crowns glued back on…read more I had two crowns that were joined together on my top previously finished implants by a dentist in Fresno and they popped off together. Called Bauer this morning, and while they advertised first visit free, I was charged $340 as it was a last minute appointment. Okay, I needed it done so, I agreed. I brought the teeth with me and after a full evaluation, they said the gluing on would be $690!! What was I to do? I needed the teeth on and while I visibly was shocked, I agreed. Yes, $1030 later, I walked out of there with a future plan and the price but I'm still reeling with what I just paid them!! They sort of grossly overpriced themselves for me to go back. Yes, everyone is really nice and the office is beautiful, but I just wanted the tooth glued back on and I'm so shocked by the charges, I doubt I will have them do further work. Too high of an overhead, too many people working there and I should have listened to my gut instinct on the phone this morning. I have never in my life been gouged like this to have a 10 minute process done, I should've left and bought my own dental glue. Literally, I'm sick to my stomach!!
