Disappointed by Front Office Experience…read more The orthodontist and back staff at MBO Orthodontics in Salinas are truly great -- kind, professional, and attentive. Unfortunately, the front office experience, specifically with Alma (the receptionist), has been consistently unpleasant. On multiple occasions, she has been dismissive and rude when I've asked legitimate questions about costs and the "retainers for life" program. After paying over $2,000 for my son's treatment, I was told I needed to pay an additional $800, so naturally, I wanted clarification. Instead of a helpful explanation, I received an attitude as if I was bothering her or asking something unreasonable. Her tone, body language, and lack of patience made me feel disrespected and uncomfortable -- This is also not the first time. In the past she had been calling me "hun" or "honey" in a condescending way, which was inappropriate given her attitude when I simply had questions. Because of this, I ultimately chose not to move forward with any upgrade services this time. It's unfortunate because the clinical team is excellent, but experiences like this make a lasting impression. People remember how they're treated, especially at the start and end of care, and this interaction really overshadowed an otherwise great experience. I also get it, it's hard working in customer service but it's not right to treat anyone this way or even just a few people (like me and others once in a while). I really hope MBO Salinas calls me to validate my concerns and maybe answer questions I was left unanswered because I still don't understand the service I am still interested in and need.

I would give Modjeski a perfect 5 stars if it was not what happened on my last appointment about 15…read moreyears ago. It was the last check up when my braces were removed. He wanted to file down the tips of my two front teeth. I thought he would use a ruler to measure to get it even but he just eyeballed it. I now have one tooth a slight shorter than the other. At the time, he told me that eventually they would even out...humm....yah...right. He is a wonderful orthodontist but this was a quick procedure that I think was not considered thoroughly by him. I came originally to get braces for a more even mouth after all. He could have been more exact but instead brushed over my concern and now my two front teeth are uneven. I see this every time I look in the mirror and will continue to for the rest of my life....sigh. My family did pay in advance for the braces so it would have been appreciated if he would have been more thorough at the end.

The non Accu dental dentist looked at the exact same x-ray that was emailed over from Salinas Accu dental and they said I have no cavity and that They don't know what they were talking about. Also, amongst dentists and other people I have talked to Salinas Accu dental has a reputation for charging patients for procedures and treatments they don't need from cavities to crowns. They're violating their medical oath by causing harm. if you want to gamble with your money go there if they say you need a crown or a filling for a cavity I would highly recommend getting a different opinion not from the Accu dental chain i've had terrible luck with them and I am regretting having done business with them

I went to get my wisdom teeth removed on the 8th, and they ended up NOT being able to take them…read moreout. Instead, they just closed the incision and sent me home like everything was fine. By Sunday -- only 2 days later -- my face was so swollen it looked like I had a golf ball stuck in my jaw. It was rock hard, swollen into my cheek and lips, painful, and clearly NOT normal. I had a feeling it was the start of an abscess, but I waited until Tuesday to go back because I thought maybe the swelling would go down. When I went in urgently on Tuesday, I explained to the dental assistant MULTIPLE times that my wisdom teeth were STILL IN because they were never removed. I told her my face was swollen, painful, and hard as a rock. She kept insisting it was "because of my wisdom teeth" as if they had already been removed. I had to repeatedly explain the situation because apparently nobody was listening. Finally the dentist came in, looked at my face, ordered x-rays, and immediately told me I had an abscess and needed to go to the ER to get it drained. So now it's Thursday -- day 6 after my failed wisdom tooth procedure -- and I'm sitting in the ER because the antibiotics the dentist prescribed clearly were NOT working. The hospital had to prescribe me stronger antibiotics because the infection kept getting worse. Then on Friday I called the hospital doctor because my face still wasn't improving, and he said swelling would take a few days to go down. By Saturday I was still miserable, so I called Western Dental asking for a refund for a procedure that was never completed and now I'm dealing with an abscess and an ER visit on top of it all. The manager told me they might still keep $500 for me refunding it depending on what the doctor says. THEN while asking about getting a root canal done to fix the abscess, the manager casually tells me they DON'T EVEN HAVE A ROOT CANAL SPECIALIST THERE. So let me get this straight: They knew I had an abscess. They knew I needed further treatment. They watched my face swell up for a WEEK. And nobody thought to mention they couldn't even provide the treatment I needed??? The communication at this place is terrible. The front desk is rude, the wisdom tooth specialist has absolutely NO bedside manner, and I genuinely felt ignored and rushed the entire time. Worst dental experience I've ever had. I will NEVER go back to the SOUTH MAIN WESTERN DENTAL or any western dental again, and I seriously recommend people think twice before going there.
