Since then I have had only the very best dental care. Years ago Dr. Montana gave me a "temporary crown" that is still intact and solid. Neither Dr. Madsen nor Dr. Montana are there anymore, but Dr. Reuter has given me A++++ work for the last decade or so. The cheerful staff and atmosphere don't hurt either. I can't recommend these people enough. I've only left a very few reviews of local businesses in Yelp. I am going to check if I've written one there yet, if not I will. These guys are the best!

Been going to this place for some years now. Unfortunately some of the staff who I really liked…read moreare gone. The dentists are understandably nervous about doing any work on me, due to my epilepsy, particularly the one dentist who seems very efficient and nice but does not want to do any work without all releases from my doctor freshly signed and in place. It's a bit of a pain. I know I've shared my medical records with them before and I wish they'd be more efficient about it. The assistants are usually very kind to me. I was a little upset when I got there early but people who got there later were sent in on time and I kept...waiting and...waiting. I don't usually blame wait times on others staff, but there was almost no one there except me, and 2 other people. Then people kept arriving and were sent in before us. It's pretty common too. I always arrive early and this is common. I'm currently on hold and have been for about 40 min. The woman who answered was from the call centre, not the office. I've always had very sweet people from the call centre, but there is not much they can do, other than make your appointment. One time I remember I called and was on the phone on hold for ages, to be hung up on by the Santa Cruz office. I don't think there is actually anyone who answers the phones. It's more of a test in this case, because online says they close at 6pm, but the woman said they'd closed when I called around 3pm, and I know I've had appointments at or later than 3pm. But my advice is to not waste your time on your phone if at all possible. I just spent 2 hours on the phone just to be re-routed to the call-centre twice. As someone else said, no fluoride, cleaning, polishing, or work was done. Only pictures and nervous interrogation about my epilepsy, which I warned them about 6 years ago. I know I have several cavities, and it's because they haven't cleaned my teeth or filled them because they have done this each time I went. When the appointments I went made for filling, the office was actually closed. I waited, in case it was a lunch break. I waited outside for a long, long time. No dice. The appointment I made for the root canal at a referral office, the office was actually permanently closed. I also have called the office repeatedly, being directly referred to the main call centre. The main call centre never gave me the office's, "real," number, just being told, "the office is closed for the day." I wanted to check if my doctor and my dentist had linked up or not, and there is no way to find out, because my dentist is basically never, "open." So yes, my experiences have varied greatly. I have had fabulous dentists here, and dentists who do absolutely zilch and hygienists who are really great. It's a bit like gambling, and do you really want to do that with your mouth?? Not really. Those of us who use this office are here because of necessity. Hopefully this saves someone with better insurance some time.

Update: The business manager responded with an automated response just like all the other 1 star…read morereviews. The office dynamics will not change because the business manager is not doing their job to create a productive atmosphere. Appointment was on a Thursday at 10am PST. Paperwork completed online prior to appointment. Dental front desk requested to complete paperwork again in person and tried to blame us for not telling them that paperwork was completed online. Dental insurance not run before appointment even though 3 reps at front desk. Dental front desk didn't run insurance until 11am. Wait time over 2 hours. Was not called back to see provider until after 12noon. We were told at check in that appointment was for Xray and exam only. A second appointment would be required for cleaning and fluoride. This sounds like fraud and a quality issue to require two separate appointments for xray, exam, cleaning and fluoride. I questioned the front desk team over this two appointment requirement. They finally agreed to complete dental cleaning and fluoride then promoted elective procedure D2991 Curodont for $85 to an adult when procedure is for kids 7-12 years old. Highly disappointed with the dental service received and highly discourage others to come to this office. Then dental insurance not billed until 3 months later. Attempted to call office at least 4 times and calls go to call center only. Call center left messages and office never returned calls. Avoid at all costs!

I could not have been in better hands. Dr. Yien's staff made me feel very welcome and comfortable from the moment I arrived for my appointments. His office is clean, warm, and comfortable. Dr. Yien explained my dental problems and quickly put me at ease. He thoroughly described each issue and described the procedures he would utilize to repair the defects. Dr. Yien ensured that I was comfortable and that I experienced no discomfort. And his work was exemplary. It is a wonderful thing to enter a doctor's office with apprehension, and to leave a short time later feeling such great relief! Dr. Yien not only does his job very well, he does it while expressing empathy and compassion. I am grateful, and I heartily recommend Dr. Yien's practice to anyone who seeks the highest level of medical competency. Thank You!

I even went to a dentist who offered botox as a sideline...really! I found Dr. Yein's office over six years ago by chance. I knew right away that I made the right choice. Dr. Yein is not only extremely knowledge, but is honest and will actually give you options with your dental care. He cares about his patients! I am grateful that if I have a dental emergeny....he will take care of it right away. I know...that's unheard of these days. Lea, the office manager is so friendly, caring and always takes the time to work the "kinks" out of making the billing a breeze. Thea, along with his other staff members are so nice, professional, and take the time to accomodat the "regulars" and new patients. I have to say that I could not be happier with the service that I receive at this office. They are truly the best!!!

Dr. Singh and Dr. Patel are exceptional practitioners with a level of skill, integrity, and compassion that is truly rare. I am writing this as a patient, I am not an employee. I recently observed Dr. Singh perform a very tricky oral surgery on my husband--completely painless and beautifully executed--and Dr. Patel placed an implant on him with absolute precision. The quality of their work is outstanding. What really sets this office apart is their honesty. There is no upselling, ever. They are mindful of budgets and genuinely try to help patients receive excellent care without unnecessary costs. I also appreciate that we don't have to be referred out for specialty procedures; they offer top-notch services right in-house. The entire team is wonderful--kind, attentive, and highly professional. The office itself is spotless and beautifully designed, creating a calm and welcoming environment. I have never been so impressed with a dental practice.

She's fun to talk to, keeps things calm, and makes the entire process feel smooth and easy. She truly helps create a comfortable environment. I received my temporary partial on January 5th and couldn't be happier with how my teeth look. I do hair, so my smile matters, and this experience genuinely gave that confidence back.

When he retired I was scared, but started going to Dr.Catalina, and was relieved to discover that my whole experience was exactly the same as with him.! I have felt NO PAIN, due to her effective local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, sedation, and careful attention to my comfort and relaxation! Experienced and skillful, Dr. Catalina diagnoses problems like abscesses and bite problems and treats them, including doing a realignment that resolved a persistent broken tooth problem. When I developed a problem that required an endodontist who had nitrous oxide but was not certified to use sedation, she met me at his office, bringing the cushions I use in her office, and administered the entire sedation herself so I was completely comfortable throughout the procedure. Dr. Catalina has also added some new technology that has made many operations easier and more comfortable for her patients. If you aren't completely comfortble in dental offices, I heartily recommend Dr. Catalina! Terry Tetter
