Feb 10, 2026 I am…read morevery happy with my regular dentist Nadia Navid, as I have been going to her for over 15 years. During my last check-up, it was determined that I needed a root canal on the #30 molar, and I was given a choice of Orest M Balytsky, DMD, in Petaluma (who retired some time ago), and a married endodontic couple in Santa Rosa (forgot their names). I called the Petaluma one to get a rough estimate and was quoted $2906. So I called Santa Rosa and was quoted $3405. Both seemed a little high to me and when I mentioned it to two friends, they agreed. I then chatted with my neighbor, and she said that her husband and daughter went to Dr. Mark Roper on Cypress, and they were very pleased with him, and she suggested I call. THAT WAS THE BEST DECISION I COULD'VE MADE! The quote from Beverly, the receptionist, was almost $500 cheaper than Dr. Balytsky, and almost $800 cheaper than the Santa Rosa one. I made an appointment and immediately felt confident with Dr. Ropper, and his dental tech, Amy, and when he checked my tooth, he said I didn't need the scan -- saving me $150 right there!!! To make a long story short, I just got home and could've been happier -- not just the reasonable cost (total $2490) but the professional treatment and overall experience. (2 weeks after my root canal, I learned from another friend how happy he was with Dr. Roper.) As Beverly explained, Dr. Roper does not have multiple partners or office locations and doesn't have a huge staff -- just Amy and Beverly. I can't recommend Dr. Mark Roper and I hope my dentist, Dr. Navid, takes note of my 5-star experience/rating, and recommends her other patients to this excellent practice. She owes it to her patients -- and not just for cost reasons.

I had high hopes for this dental office when I first started going. At the time, I was living in…read morePetaluma and wanted to make the most of my benefits to stay on top of my dental health. My first visit went smoothly -- I had a cracked filling that was repaired without much issue, and it gave me a sense of confidence in the practice. That changed quickly. The doctor convinced me to place a crown on a tooth that had previously undergone a root canal. My prior dentist had been monitoring it and wasn't in a rush to do anything, but this provider made it sound like a necessary next step for my health. I trusted that advice. But from there, the entire experience became a mess. What should have been two appointments turned into four. I had to come back repeatedly because the temporary crowns kept cracking -- twice. Each time I tried to communicate that something felt off, that it was uncomfortable and gross to have a cracked piece in my mouth, I was met with attitude -- like I was an inconvenience. I wasn't being dramatic; I was just asking for care that should have been basic. What made it worse is that every visit felt rushed. I came in kind of urgently for the final crown because the temporary had come out again, and she barely looked me in the eye. While placing the permanent crown, she let dental debris and chemical dust fall on my face. At one point, she even grabbed my face abruptly. The whole interaction lacked any gentleness or bedside manner. Going to the dentist puts you in a vulnerable position -- you're literally lying down, mouth open, trusting that someone will care for you. After spending close to $2,000 with insurance, the bare minimum I expected was kindness and attention to detail. Instead, I was dismissed repeatedly when the temporaries fell apart, made to feel like I was a nuisance, and given treatment that felt rushed and careless. To top it off, all services must be paid for upfront, and despite the inconvenience and multiple return visits, there was no offer of compensation -- not even a basic toothbrush. And I was now driving close to 40 minutes each way after moving, just trying to get the work finished. I don't know if it's the materials she uses, but the quality felt low, and even now with the permanent crown in, it looks nice but I don't feel confident in the work. I honestly felt compelled to leave this review, which isn't something I normally do. But this was a stressful and disappointing experience -- and not one I would ever choose to go through again.

I went to this dentist for 9 years. At first, I was happy with Dr. Heggli because he is very…read morefriendly and upbeat. It's kind of hard NOT to like him. The first red flag was his office assistant, Kat. One day, I could hear her arguing with a patient while I was getting my teeth cleaned, and it was very uncomfortable. The patient wasn't even being disrespectful. He was just worried about not getting a follow up call, and to be honest she never called back. There were many times they would cancel my appointment last minute (understandable, unforeseen circumstances) but I could not get a hold of her to reschedule. Kat is very abrasive with people in general and I politely mentioned this to Dr. Heggli because as a business owner, I would want to know. He didn't seem to care and just sat there quietly and awkwardly. I get the impression it's a tight clan of staff where patients come second. The atmosphere was very relaxed and I could hear office staff chatting loudly and even cursing. I can't imagine how anyone gets anything done in that office. On top of that, the dental treatment became suspicious over time. My parents were surprised because Dr. Heggli did a lot of crowns on them when they never needed crowns before. They call him "crown crazy " now. I think that's how he makes a lot of his income because he invested in a fancy machine to do it in house. Also, I went in for a cavity, and after the filling he brought in a big machine. When I asked what it was for he said it was to scan my mouth and make a mouthguard. He had briefly mentioned this before, but had only presented it as an option. I told him I wasn't going to pay for it out-of-pocket and wanted to make sure my insurance would cover it. Turns out my insurance would not cover it and it would've been $400 out-of-pocket so I'm glad I stopped him and asked questions. It's shady stuff like that that made me lose trust in his practice. When we finally switched dentists, my daughter ended up needing a lot of his recent fillings redone because the tooth was rotting underneath. I can't definitively say if this was Heggli's fault but it was very suspicious because my daughter brushes her teeth diligently. This also happened with a coworker of mine who went to Heggli. Lastly, my parents had a really hard time getting Kat to transfer their dental records to the new dentist. It took months. We honestly kept all of our interactions with the dentist and his staff very positive and friendly. I can't imagine how they treat customers who speak up. I really wanted to like the guy, but he is clearly just there to collect a paycheck and doesn't really care about his patients so I feel it's only right that I leave an honest review. Best of luck if you're searching for a new dentist!
