I left the office crying because it was so overwhelming AND PAINFUL (my back is arching in the chair as I'm gripping the arm and the hygienist just keeps stabbing deep for her "exam"...), the doctor had no sympathy. He was a cold, deadpan jerk. I go to a second dentist, they tell me I'm perfectly fine and Westover must've been in it just to make money off me. They walked me through my XRays to point out how everything was the way it should be. Disgusting that Westover Dentistry is so corrupt to try to scam a healthy 23 year old girl because they're so money hungry.

He never came back to finish my exam or explain any of my results. A different hygienist basically just told me I could leave after I waited another 10 minutes for him to come back. In addition to all this, they discussed my medical history and medications within earshot of other patients which made me incredibly uncomfortable. Overall a terrible experience and I will not be returning.

He began by going through my medical history with me and then carefully reviewed my dental x-rays and tooth imaging, making sure I understood what he was seeing. Throughout the appointment he was polite, professional, and also really friendly and easy to chat with--we built a good rapport right away, which helped me feel comfortable in the chair. The cleaning itself went very well, and I left feeling like my teeth had been thoroughly taken care of. The front office staff were also pleasant and efficient, and they quickly scheduled me for a follow-up appointment before I left. Overall, I feel very confident in continuing my dental care with Dr. Urteaga and would happily recommend this office to others.

I recently had my 6 month regular check up with FC Family Dentistry and was VERY pleased with their level of customer service, care, and friendliness! Dr. Gul was excellent, providing thorough explanations of their approach to cleaning and care and asked me at least twice if I was experiencing any pain during my cleaning (I felt nothing!). Before and after the cleaning she explained why she was recommending X-rays and the three issues she'd identified, stating that she would confirm the level of urgency via the X-rays. The equipment used was modern and Dr. Gul provided a thorough assessment of my teeth and gums based on the X-rays. In the end, she explained that she would continue to monitor the situations vs. take immediate action and counseled me on how to avoid making things worse. This was so refreshing, as many dentists are often looking for ways to charge you for things you may or may not need. Dr. Gul's beside manner and that of her technician's was kind, warm, caring, and gentle. I am so pleased to have found a dental practice that focuses on the needs of their patients and treats them with such warm care vs. rushing them in and out! Thank you FC Family Dentistry for taking great care of me and my daughter on our first visit! Looking forward to a long relationship with your practice!

This practice is incredibly predatory. I went in with a dental emergency and noticed that the…read moreintake documents stipulates that their ""treatment plans"" are not going to be confined by your insurance, assuming one is using insurance. Initially I thought nothing of it and planned to say no to any window dressing offered. The "treatment plan" that I received was filled with costs for random fillings even though I was here for an emergency root canal. I stressed that the root canal was all I was going to commit to, and I had to defend this decision across multiple appointments. The front desk even called the dentist back in to try pressure me into getting more work done. Conveniently, they suddenly deemed a few of the fillings "non-priority" even though they were ready to bill me for them. I still said no and my wishes were only respected after I fought for it. As far as the care I received, my experience with dentist was sarcastic and uncommunicative. I didn't know what was happening or what to expect during the procedure. I had to specifically request my medicated toothpaste that I was prescribed because they didn't hand it to me after my second or third appointment. Incidentally this happened after I denied the extra work in my treatment plan. When I went to another dentist and got a second opinion, he was confused at the need for extra fillings and mentioned that my teeth were in great condition. Overall I did not feel considered, respected, or cared for in this process, and I do not recommend for anyone else to go to this practice.

Dr. Roca and her team have truly been LIFE-CHANGING, not only for their amazing service and…read moreimpeccable attention to detail throughout my care, but for how much my life has changed for the better after getting a MARPE device and expanding my palate. I came to doctor Roca in AUGUST of 2024 with symptoms I'd been dealing with my whole life. Stuffy nose upon waking, sleep apnea, TIRED ALL OF THE TIME, sinus pressure when I was sick, not able to fully breathe through my nose even AFTER a septoplasty, and CHRONIC headaches since my teens. I had gone to so many medical professionals for help with my headaches, including a neurologist that pretty much just dismissed me. I'd looked at my diet, saw a naturopathic doctor, went to acupuncture, gotten massages, seen a chiropractor, but the headaches till persisted. It wasn't until I went and had a consultation with Doctor Roca that my mind was BLOWN with what was really the underlying cause to all of my lifelong symptoms. She very confidently said we needed to expand my maxilla and nasal cavity via a MARPE device because of how small my jaw was... and the rest is history! I am still under care of doctor Roca, we have not fully finished full expansion of my maxilla yet, but my results thus far have been profound. My headaches have COMPLETELY disappeared, my face doesn't look tired and sunken anymore, my sleep apnea has disappeared, and I am way more rested. I never thought I'd see the day where I didn't have a headache. The beautiful part of this whole process is that Dr. Roca takes a holistic approach to the whole process. She doesn't just expand the jaw and leave you to your own devices. She requires CONSTANT weekly check-ins from you. Each person's program is customized specifically to your needs. She has me seeing a physical therapist to realign lifelong imbalances due to my skull sitting improperly on my spinal cord because of the incorrect jaw position and lack of oxygen to my brain. She tests your sleep apnea, scans your teeth multiple times, and she also has you under the care of a myo-functional therapist towards the end of your expansion to re-teach your tongue how to work properly after a life of not knowing how with a narrow airway. I was so blown away by Dr. Roca and her progressive knowledge and deep passion for her work, that my son is also getting expanded as well at the age of 3! (Chronic mouth breather...He's now 4 and the happiest little kid!) Like I said, 5 stars does NOT do Dr. Roca and her team justice. They have been a HUGE blessing and one of the biggest turning points of my life. I CANNOT recommend them ENOUGH!

Mary Gregory DDS came recommended in the military spouses community because they were one of the…read morefew practices that take our insurance (they were out of network but would submit claims). As of 2025 they will no longer take the military insurance. There's parking and she offers early morning appointments (7am). The appointments were ok, there's not much to say when you just get a cleaning and there's no dental issues. The hygienist goes pretty hard and even chipped the top of one of my front teeth. She told me I could have an orthodontist smooth it out. They charge an additional $50 out of pocket for fluoride. I sent my previous scans multiple times and they said they didn't receive them. When she did see my scan, I was referred to someone to get a second opinion on something she saw. Almost $500 later I find out it's just my sinus cavity. I know, better safe than sorry and can't fault her for doing her job. My final straw was getting charged a late cancellation fee. They require 48 hours notice which can be really hard if you're not sick 48 hours in advance and the day before your appointment is a weekend or holiday as was my case. I called the morning of and left a voicemail that I was sick; instead I went to urgent care and was diagnosed with strep throat and an ear infection. They did not receive this voicemail in time because the receptionist was also out sick. I was charged the fee 6 weeks later and when I called to see if they make medical exceptions I was told absolutely not because they have already written off too much from *all of us* because our insurance doesn't pay well. As a professional I can understand some of this, I know it's frustrating when people late cancel/no show or an insurance doesn't pay well. However, I always make exceptions for medical and other things that are truly out of their control. They are right to stop taking our insurance, it's not good when you start to resent your customers. Take away: -No matter how sick you are, if you want to avoid a fee, go to the appointment -Go if you know your dental insurance pays well or you plan to pay out of pocket -Insurance companies are the worst and need to raise their rates across the board

But since I pay for a dental plan through my job, I figured I might as well not waste that money. I called to schedule an appointment and the receptionist told me there was an appointment available at 7:50am the next day. I had whiplash from how fast that was. My hygienist, Ingrid, is probably the nicest human being I have ever met. I had to do a procedure which required numbing via needle - consequence of putting this appointment off so long :( - but she was so thoughtful as to apply anesthetic gel so I wouldn't feel the needle going in. She also said, "Close your eyes" before she started so I wouldn't see this giant ass needle flying towards my face. In retrospect, she kind of treated me like a child, but in this situation it is EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. From a financial standpoint, she was very clear about what procedures she was going to perform and what my insurance would cover. She even suggested how I can space out my appointments to maximize insurance coverage. Yay. At the end she kept thanking me profusely for how great I was and how tiring it must have been to have my mouth open for so long (insert joke here). She also said, "Thank you for being so brave!" which I appreciated, because I was.
