Dr Marsh's practice, Carpinteria Dental, was taken over by Dr. Macias. Dr. Marsh will be missed, along with Storm the four legged Office Manager. After seeing the same excellent support staff, and meeting Dr. Macias, I am optimistic about the change. He was very kind, despite some truly self inflicted tooth troubles, and really took the time to work to repair my tooth correctly. He was a gentle as humanly possible through the whole process. I look forward to seeing him under better dental circumstances. read more

Terrible treatment of me as an Indian. Feels as though you can't get the treatment that you need. I…read morewasn't able to pick up my mouth guard at the same time as an exam- they require separate appointments. The dentists (3 different now) have been chatting very loudly about their personal lives and Netflix shows that they like to watch while in the office. I was also screamed at while standing halfway in my car in the parking lot that I needed to have a mask on during the end of Covid times & then while in the office right before they were going to examine and begin my teeth cleaning that I needed to have the mask over my mouth. It was very rude now the situation was handled & seemed unnecessary to keep outing the mask up over my lips when every couple of minutes they were looking inside my mouth. Was not able to get my x-ray of my tooth while pregnant the day they my tooth broke and I had to go elsewhere for an emergency appointment to have it fixed since tribal health couldn't get me in here. So I was forced to get an x ray while 8 months pregnant in order to have my completely cracked and broken off tooth fixed. There should be a way to help people regardless of a document sharing policy in case of emergencies. Perhaps, options to a system that uses facial recognition or something for emergencies could help all people and hopefully some Indians.

Apparently, this dentist office only does x-rays. If you have dental issues, like not being able to…read moreeat or drink because of pain, they'll refer you to another dentist in LA. But the referral isn't actually a real referral--just a piece of paper with phone numbers. When you call, they tell you you need a proper referral. So, I reached out to the dentist again asking for a real referral, and they told me to find a new dentist. Which I did. Now, I need x-rays, but they won't send them to the new dentist unless I pay for them. This place is a joke.

When they moved the Carpinteria office to their new location in January, 2025 I tried to make an appointment to get a crown. Every time I called I went to voicemail. Shannon, the receptionist, sent me email saying that their new Comcast phone service was not working properly, and that my phone was the problem because she could not get through, although she had left me voicemail after 5PM. I gave her my work number and got another voicemail after 5 PM. She said I could try the Ventura office on the day that it was open. Straight to voicemail again. I was using the same phone and same carrier that I had before their office move. I was sick of being blamed for their failure to take a call or return a call and I needed a new crown, so I went to another dentist.

I feel it's important to share mine. I waited over an hour past my appointment time before being seen, and unfortunately things only went downhill from there. Months after my visit, I received a surprise notice saying I owed a lot of money, with no itemized bill attached. I then spent months going back and forth between my insurance and the office. My insurance was incredibly helpful and patient, and they told me the office did not file the claim accurately, which created ongoing issues. The office staff, on the other hand, felt scattered and disorganized every time I called. They also billed me for several X‑rays, including a panoramic one they couldn't provide proof of ever taking. Because the information I was getting from the office kept changing, I ended up keeping pages of notes with time stamps just to track everything. I simply didn't trust Riviera Smiles to keep accurate records. After reading other reviews, it seems like my experience wasn't an isolated one. I would recommend being very cautious and double‑checking everything if you choose this office.

I appreciate their online check-in process, as it helped to fill out everything ahead of time. They processed an authorization with my insurance before my visit, so all I had to worry about day of was my co-pay. Even though I had an appointment, I was waiting over a half hour to be seen, which was a bit frustrating but I understand delays can happen. Getting a call in advance would have been nice, though, as I was missing work trying to make this appt. Dr. David Bowin was great! He didn't try to sell me on anything I didn't need.

However, when I showed up for my appointment, I was told I had to take a mandatory retinol eye exam in order for the doctor to see me. There was no prior mention of this charge when I made the appointment, and it felt misleading and frustrating. I agreed to it reluctantly because I had already waited so long for my appointment, and I needed my eye exam. During the exam, the doctor and I discussed contacts and he recommended I stay on them since glasses tend to make me dizzy. He checked my eyes and told me my prescription hadn't changed. I left with my prescription and assumed everything was fine. Fast forward 6 months, and I realized I couldn't find my prescription. I called to ask if they hey could simply print me a new one, only to be told that I never had a contact lense exam, which was an additional charge. They also told me that I'd need to redo my full eye exam (which is only covered by insurance) to get the prescription, and that would cost upwards of $150. I was confused especially since I specifically talked to the doctor about my contacts during my appointment, and he told me that my prescription hadn't changed. I also felt blindsided by the additional costs. To make matters worse, when I called my insurance company, they confirmed that retinol eye exams should be optional, not mandatory, and this offices policy seemed unusual. When I explained this to the receptionist, she was incredibly rude, and honestly I ended up crying. I've never felt so disrespected and confused by a healthcare provider. This was the most disorganized and uncaring experience I had at an eye doctor's office. I would never recommend this place to anyone, and I regret going here.

Update to reply below by Carla from the business:…read more This is the main number for the business you provided, which is not helpful. There is not a contact persons name to speak with directly. I do not feel comfortable. calling the main office line anymore and encountering the office manager again after she has twice offered such disparaging treatment towards me. If you provide a specific owners name and a direct phone line and time to call or specifically directed email, then I will reach out to discuss further. Otherwise I am afraid I will just be going through the same scenario again with the front office/Manager calling this main phone line. I am traumatized from the treatment I've received from speaking with her. ---------- Original review: I give one star for the 2 horrible experiences I have had with front office, and most specifically the office manager. I believe her name is Liz. After being a patient for sometime, I had to leave this office, even though I liked the doctor and eye tech, due to very disparaging and unacceptable treatment. I've written an official letter to the doctor to inform him of what has happened. I don't know if office manager screens his mail. I pray he sees it so they can make improvements based on my experiences. I would hate for anyone to go through what I have gone through. - if I hear from the doctor/office and anything changes I will update my review until then I cannot and would not recommend this office.

Hello. My name is Martina. I have nearly for a year been a…read morepatient of Asisted Home Health. I am so happy with their care and I'd like to share why...I am respected, they honor my dignity and are very professional. It's very hard to be a patient that is in need, vulnerable and is 90% housebound. it makes being in a position like I am in easier when greeted by a caring nurse who is ready to help make a difference. i feel so thankful because i am healing. I know it's my job to be positive and take good care of myself in between my nurse visits and doctor visits. I have an exceptional team of doctors and I've shared with every one how exceptional the Asisted Home Health model of caring for the sick and vulnerable is. I can barely walk because I've been in need of a hip replacement for many years, but due to having an open wound I'm unable to get the hip replacement until my wound heals. I've got 5-6 cm presently June 11, 2026 to go, the wound was 14 cm deep. Since being cared for by Asisted Home Health and receiving aseptic care both at home and at the CMH Wound Center I have healed nearly 3 cm, and I'm so happy! It's slow healing because of radical radiation from stage four cancer, I'm also a survivor. My nurses are so loving to me and their supervisor makes sure I get all the supplies I need for optimal healing, and he's very well respected by his nurses. The leadership is exceptional at Assisted and encourages and supports their staff and nurses. My nurses have shared that they've been employed with this company a long time and are very proud to work for Asisted Home Health. I am nearly 74 in one month, I brag I'm nearly 3/4 of a century and I believe I'll heal by my 75th birthday completely. After being diagnosed with stage four cancer I was given three weeks to live had I not started radical chemo and radical radiation, which I completed barely. But after my second cancer related surgery a large boxer dog broke thru my backyard fence and caused me to get hurt as I was saving my little dogs life from the boxers jaws. An abscess developed 14 cm deep inside me because I had to pull and pull the boxer off my little dog going four feet into the air and down onto cement pavers as I broke my dog free. Sadly later the abscess broke thru my body and developed Into this open wound, it's a very sad story. The good news is I saved my dogs life and Kobe my mini schnauzer lived seven more years but I was really harmed. It's been a long journey healing but I have never given up due to my excellent doctors and nurses who truly care about me. Asisted is one of the best Home Health Agencies I've ever had and I hope they'll assist me to finish line healing this wound. I'm healing, but very slowly. I'm also getting exceptional care from Dr Alicia Haglund at CMH Wound Center, I really like her. And I believe someday around my 75th birthday I will get that hip replacement and be able to walk again and ride my bike and feel the wind on my face again. I loved riding my bikes In our beach city, I have a cruiser and an e-bike. If you have been refereed to this agency don't hesitate you'll be in exceptional care. Stay proactive in your healing and recovery. Help your team of doctors and nurses be successful helping you. They all work hard all day and need our kindness and appreciation of their care. They also need you to do your part and take the best care of yourself in your healing process and recovery. I love Asisted Home Health not just because I'm getting exceptional care but because they respect me and treat me with dignity. Before my doctor retired, Dr John Dexter wanted me to end my healing journey with them. I know they'll be a part of the journey to my full recovery and I'll be one of their success stories, and we'll all dance with happiness. My nurses call me a blessing and they tell me how they enjoy caring for me and coming to my home. Thank goodness...Molly has a lot to say about visitors in her home. Thank you Asisted Home Health from my heart and soul for all you do for me and for others. It takes a community and you're making a difference in my life and also in our community. You're the best...truly! You are champions! Thank you.
