    Both my boys have been seen by Dr. Chiang, Dr. Saisho and Dr. Morris. They always get great care and I would recommend them highly.

    I should've left this review years ago but today I learned that the Dentists continue to verbally…read moreabuse and behave aggressively towards the children. 21 years later and they continue to take advantage of their patients. This is my story but there are other horror stories from people in my surrounding communities. Monterey, Seaside, and Salinas. Central Coast Pediatric Dental Group is the reason for my trauma. It took me years and years to recover from it. My mother brought me here for Sedation when I was 4 years old in 2005 and had ALL my teeth covered in silver caps. I was given a small cup with a liquid solution to drink before the procedure and according to my mother they had me waiting for a while because Dr. Murillo was helping other patients. While I waited for them to be ready my relaxer was wearing off and my mother was starting to get worried that it would have no effect on me. Dr. Murillo behaved very unprofessionally and shouted at my mother for expressing her concerns. When they took me to the back they put me on a papoose board and I felt every part of the procedure and began to cry because it was excruciatingly painful. I was in so much pain and discomfort and one of the Dentist's shouted at me and said "Be quiet!"and would cover my mouth with their hands to keep me quiet. They rolled me out on a wheelchair through the back door and all I remember is heavily crying and feeling terrified. 2 years ago my niece went in for sedation and said to me "aunty they were so mean to me". I had Flashbacks and knew she wasn't lying to me because I lived through that. The truth has come to light and I am here to be the voice of those children and their families. There are many stories about this place on yelp and Google reviews. Please do not bring your kids to this horrific place.

    Horrible Horrible Service, Got a filling done at this establishment and the Doctor and dental…read moreassistant were so rough and aggressive during my treatment. At one point one of the tools he was using for my filling popped out and without a warning he shoved it back in and it was so painful, then the doctor didn't numb me enough and i could feel all the drilling being done the pain was excruciating. Then I heard the dental hygienist make an unprofessional comment like was she not aware that I was very much awake and hearing??? Would NOT recommend for your children.

    Our whole family recently made the switch over to Salinas Dental Health and have been SO pleased…read morewith our experience. There is little to no wait time upon arriving at our scheduled appointments. Appointments are quick and easy. Every single staff member we engaged with is warm and knowledgeable. A huge win for us is that our kids (11, 8 - we hope to get our 4 year old in soon) all feel really comfortable and at ease when being seen here. We've seen all the dentists and they're all equally great! Their team is always up front and transparent with their findings and if there's any intervention needed, we never feel forced into anything and the front desk is always happy to give pricing/quotes while explaining exactly what's getting billed for. Our 11 year old recently had to get 4 extractions (due to having a small mouth and ortho requested to get them extracted) and Dr. Coe was the GOAT. It was our son's first experience at the dentist for extractions and general anesthesia, and he said he didn't feel anything at all! Dr. Coe (and the whole staff honestly) walked us through everything, made our son feel safe, secure, and seen. What more can you ask for? We anticipate being part of the practice for many many years!

    My first visits here were great, but the quality of care diminished. I have to get my teeth cleaned…read moreevery 4 months. When I had my cleaning in October, I was told that the next available appointment would be in June. So I have had to go elsewhere for my dental care.

    We almost never go to Salinas--except to see our dentist…read more Dr. Cho and his brother, Dr. Cho, are the dentists here. They're American-born of Korean ancestry. As I understand it, the elder brother owns the business. The two of them take turns, so if you really want one over the other, you'd have to ask for him specifically. I don't care which one works on me and my family, as they're both very good, and their staff is friendly and professional. After a rough start, my daughter is now an excellent little patient here. They do a fine job with children. Once upon a time, they did a filling that wasn't quite right, so when I needed it re-done, they re-did it--for free. I appreciate their willingness to stand by their work, and fix what isn't right. Don't let this scare you away, though. They've done other work on me and my wife, and it's all been excellent. No one's perfect, so the real test of a person, or business, is how they handle their imperfections. Harden Family Dentistry passes with flying colors. Highly recommended. (P.S.: We usually finish our excursion to Salinas with a trip to In-And-Out Burger. It's our reward for having to go out to that cesspool.)

    I had a terrible experience at Harden Dentistry in Salinas back in 2022. I went in with what I…read morebelieved was a tooth infection, and instead of prescribing antibiotics or properly treating it, the dentist told me it would "go away on its own." Unfortunately, it didn't. The infection got worse, and when I later went in expecting a root canal, they instead decided to extract my tooth. What made the situation even more upsetting was how pressured I felt during the appointment. I told them I wanted to leave and think about it, but multiple staff members surrounded my chair insisting I sign paperwork giving permission for the extraction. I felt cornered and extremely uncomfortable. The woman at the front desk was also rude and dismissive about the situation, which only added to the stress and anxiety I was already feeling. To make matters worse, the dentist couldn't even fully remove the tooth, leaving me with half a tooth still in my mouth for two days before I was able to see a specialist who removed what remained of the tooth. It was painful, stressful, and honestly one of the worst dental experiences I've ever had. Which has also lead to fear of the dentist. Now, years later, I'm still dealing with the consequences of losing that tooth. I don't have the luxury of dental insurance to help cover the cost of replacing it, and it has caused me ongoing issues that could have possibly been avoided if I had been treated properly from the beginning. This experience happened in 2022, so hopefully things have improved since then, but based on my experience and from people I know who've had similar experiences, I personally would not return or recommend this office.

    Another great experience with Dr Mireles and staff. Came for my cleaning that time again Elizabeth…read moredid an awesome job always detailed & careful for me at the same time! Great staff and dentist! So glad they accept BRMS insurance for all the government county workers! Dentist is usually busy with other patients but my experience he gives the care and time needed! Nice views from 2nd floor of hills

    Do not come here! To start off, when you first walk in you are immediately greeted by dog stench…read moreand then you notice, yup there's a dog in the office. Listen I'm a lover of dogs but there's a time and a place and unless that dog is a service dog it has no place in a dental office. Completely unhygienic and invalidating of people who actually depend on service dogs. And just because he's wearing a scarf that says service it doesn't make it legit. Secondly there is just a general lack of professionalism. The receptionist/assistant ladies were very nice and welcoming, but that's it. Dont make the mistake of booking a noon appointment , Once they get you in that crowded room everyone is squeezing through cracks, they move you from chair to chair to make room for their millions of patients they can't attend to at once and they very loudly talk about how they're rushing because it's almost lunch time and they're about to leave without the Dr. After waiting for more than an hour for the Dr to be available he finally got to me, chewing his lunch in my face. He was rushed, distracted, barely looked at my X-rays, lacked attention to detail, and I genuinely felt that he cares more about making money than about the patients health and well being. He was suggesting exaggerated procedures which would technically solve the problem but it wasn't the most efficient. I would hear prices before hearing actual solutions. It is saddening that a place like this that primarily serves people from the Hispanic community who sometimes don't speak english, are low income, lack the tools and knowledge and access to better take care of their teeth, finally build the courage to go to the dentist only to get scammed by Dr. Mireles. And yes if you're thinking "hmm where do I know that name from?" Yes he's from that old ass commercial. When I told my parents who the Dr was they said " oh no why would you go to that guy. He's the the worst and oldest scammer in salinas" So learn from my mistakes, if you're gonna end up paying a million dollars anyway, might as well pay them somewhere where you'll be better and CLEANER service. DISGUSTING!!!!!
