    I didn't like my experience here! The hygienist was rude. Don't wanna be a hater on Dr Shin tho.

    I was in search for a new dentist and came across Central Coast Dental Care. Decided on this…read moreoffice, in part due to my insurance coverage but also because of the good Yelp rating. Scheduling was pretty easy. I was able to schedule a new patient exam appointment online within a week timeframe. Once booked you receive a confirmation via email, and will most likely receive a confirmation call the day before as well. The dental office is located in a small plaza with plenty of lot parking spaces. I was welcomed with a friendly greeting and given a few new patient forms to be filled out. The entire office is friendly and knowledgeable. Appreciated the communication from everyone - front desk receptionists, the X-ray tech, Dr. Sharma, and the dental hygienist. Yup - I lucked out! They happened to have an opening for a cleaning so I was able to get both my exam and cleaning performed on the same day. Glad to have found a great, new dental office!

    I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this dental office…read more I originally went in for a routine checkup and cleaning and was told that my teeth looked good, but that one of my crowns would eventually need to be replaced. Because I am a teacher and school was about to start, I decided to have the crown replaced during my vacation rather than risk having a problem later. Unfortunately, what should have been a straightforward procedure turned into weeks of pain and multiple visits. After the crown was placed, I was in significant pain, was biting the inside of my cheek, and noticed that the crown did not seem properly aligned with my other teeth. I returned to the office and had an X-ray. I was reassured that everything looked fine and was told that the problem was inflammation from my bite and that I needed to be patient and wait approximately 10 days for it to improve. I followed that advice and waited 12 days despite continuing to have considerable pain. When I finally returned because I could no longer tolerate it, I was then told that I had an infection and needed a root canal. What was particularly upsetting was being told that I should not have waited so long to come back, when I had specifically been instructed to wait. I have now had to deal with significant pain, repeated dental appointments, a root canal, and a great deal of stress over a crown that I elected to replace before it became an emergency. I understand that complications can happen with any dental procedure. What I find unacceptable is receiving conflicting information and then being criticized for following the instructions I was given. This experience has seriously affected my trust in this office. Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend this practice.

    Remarkable Dentist and Staff - Compassionate, Skilled and Accommodating…read more We can't say enough about the extraordinary experience we had with Dr. Dodson and his staff. When our 101 year old Mother's denture's broke on a Sunday, we were not only worried about how we would get them repaired but also about how we were going to navigate her ability to eat without them. Also we weren't sure how we were going to manage it without putting her through the stress of a trip to the dentist. Amazingly Dr. Dodson was able to repair them without having to see her. We were lucky to find him, especially since he has a lab on site. Understanding the urgency, we were able to drop off the broken pieces first thing on Monday morning. He worked on them in between patients throughout the day. By 4:30 pm, he had them looking and functioning like brand new. The repair was perfect and no adjustments were needed! Dr. Dodson and his phenomenal staff were very compassionate about our situation and went above and beyond to help us. For that, my Mom and our family are deeply grateful!

His staff is very nice and there's easy parking. I've been to many dentists before and can tell that this doctor is up on his game. They cleaned my teeth and did an exam and they have a phenomenal new patient price. They have a brand new office and are located in a new building. Check out the web site: http://www.williamdodsondds.com. Latest addition. His prices might be a bit higher than normal. I compared his price for taking care of an abrasion on a tooth with another dentist that's very good, and his prices were about $30 higher. Go figure. Thx, Calvin

I don't remember the first but she moved out of state, and then I started seeing Dana about 4 years ago. Unfortuntely she is married to a military husband and they moved about 2 years ago. The last 2 years I have been seeing Amy and Anna. They are both fabulous! My teeth always feel so clean. Amy uses some new tooth cleaner stuff and it is different than normal cleanings-but I really like it. I have had to see Dr. Drais for a few cleanings and a crown last year. He was very professional and did a great job. His assistants are really kind and everyone goes out of their way to make the experience as amazing as possible. I'm writing this review because I saw another review by Abdessamad that I felt was pretty petty. What you said makes no sense. He sent you to a specialist so that he could make money? You may not have been happy that Dr. Mickle charged you a lot but how is that Dr. Drais's fault? Also, when I call my mechanic and say that I need my car fixed, they try to get me an appointment. Why would a dentist not try and get you an appointment as soon as possible if you need a tooth pulled (and it probably hurts)? That is literally their job. And what is a mechanician?!

    Bottom line: After more than a decade with this practice, I'm now considering finding a new…read moredentist's office. I've been a patient here for over 10 years, starting back when Dr. Oh owned the practice. Even after it transitioned to Dr. Drais, I stayed because the prior office manager, Patty, and her team were fantastic. They were organized, followed up on billing and estimates promptly, and always called ahead if appointments changed. Unfortunately, since Patty left, the service has gone downhill. For my most recent procedure, I had to repeatedly follow up just to get an estimate -- which I didn't receive until days before the appointment. That was frustrating but not a deal breaker. The deal breaker was showing up for a crown appointment only to be told it had been canceled. The staff insisted I should have received a text, but no such message ever arrived. They told me they would add a "notation" to my account so that I would get a phone call in the future. In other words, phone calls for cancellations are no longer the norm -- only texts, unless you request otherwise. Call me old-fashioned, but when a dental procedure costs thousands of dollars and requires me to take time off work, I expect a phone call ahead of time if it's canceled. That's basic professionalism.

    For anyone looking for a dentist in network with the new insurance…read more.. Dr Kim James on 880 Cass has been AMAZING! We're only here another month and they got me in IMMEDIATELY for new patient X-rays and eval. I knew I needed some work done and have been able to make all 3 appointments before leaving. The staff are all incredible. They address you by first name when you walk in the door when I had been there only once before. Everyone I have come into contact with at the office has gone above and beyond to help out. I always have a million questions about what they are doing or using and they gladly explain everything to me. If you need work done, the front desk will give you the exact price of what to expect instead of the run around. They also do her best to get you the best price possible and is very knowledgeable about insurance and what tricare will cover. I even got a personal phone call from Dr. James himself a few hours after my last appointment to make sure my pain was under control. I honestly can't say enough good things about this office and I wish I had found them at the beginning of our Monterey move!

Not only is the dentist grossly over performing things that are completely unnecessary, but he ruined my wife's teeth because we believed the medical care he suggested was necessary. His bills are extra extraordinary costing in the thousands for minor Dental work whereas other local dentists barely reach hundreds for the same exact work the quotes they give you for the cost of service before and after are two wildly different things. AVOID AT ALL COST!!

Jobani (sp?) was very capable as his assistant. Two guys working together. What a great construction team! They were very efficient and got the job done quickly, to my great relief! The office itself is unpretentious. It's relaxed and calming. The music was perfect to calm me and went well with the nitrous to keep me settled.
