    Great, high quality care. Staff are friendly and accommodating. My routine cleaning and X-rays were a breeze.

    A Luxurious Dental Experience Like No Other!…read more If going to the dentist has ever felt like a chore, let me introduce you to Dr. Alex Chaney a game-changer in the world of dentistry. From the moment I stepped into the office, I knew this wasn't just any routine visit. The atmosphere? Elegant, relaxed, and effortlessly comfortable. The professionalism? Impeccable. The technology? State-of-the-art. Now, let me tell you something....I'm past 50 plus years old and never in my life have I experienced such peace during a dental procedure, let alone one involving drilling and Novocain. And get this I actually fell asleep in the chair That's right, I was so at ease that I dozed off mid-procedure. Apparently, that's the ultimate compliment in the dental world and trust me, Dr. Alex Chaney and his team deserve it. If you're looking for a dentist who redefines what it means to care for your teeth while making you feel like royalty in the process, Dr. Alex Chaney is the one. Five stars isn't enough ******************

    My whole family is now going to Chaney. My daughter is 6 and did well at her appointment, which…read moremeans the dentist was gentle and careful. The office is definitely dated compared to our previous dentist, and they are still up to date. The staff is great and my wife really likes the hygeneist, which is another good sign. Finding a new dentist is challenging and J have had bad experiences in the past. This time, we hit a home run. I am glad that we found Dr. Chaney!

    I won't be returning to Galvin Dental. In fact I was disappointed by Galvin Dental services. It was…read morequite difficult to get through or get a response. When I went in staff told me I might need to start over to complete 3 pages or more of paperwork. When I said No, I wasn't interested in doing that (before staff found my initial paperwork to continue) the dentist said something audible (under his breath) in Tagolog in a derisive tone. There was also rap music playing with inappropriate curse words! The dentist did appear knowledgeable, however it seems your office pushes cosmetic dentistry. My estimates were quite high, whereas the Berkeley "Refresh" dentist I went to yesterday had a much lower estimate including a treatment plan to save teeth your office was going cap & crown. A 2.5 out of 5 rating. I know other educated professionals with high expectations most likely have the same experience. Ramona Mann MA

No problem I coordinated it since his orthodontist is only on Tuesday's and Thursday's and the receptionist knew this. They now don't have a hygienist available on either day but her rudeness about the situation is beyond me!

    Important to note that I don't often write such glowing reviews but this is a case where I must…read more Dr. Sarah Makkiyah and her team really are stellar in care, knowlege and technology. I have had a few crowns replaced in the last few years and never had the attention paid to me that Dr. Makkiyah, and her teammates, Jared and Lydia did. From x-rays to final cementing of new crowns, they were amazing, explaining everything to me very carefully and then executing with the utmost care and precision. They have amazing technology that assists them with the best possible delivery. They were able to remove two old crowns, measure for new ones and have those ready in just a couple of hours. I am so impressed. But again, this alone would not be that impressive if it weren't for the team's caring and concern for my comfort and well being. They made a not very fun procedure into something more than tolerable. Even when she administered the pain shots, they did something that made that less painful. I also wear Invisalign retainers so they made a point of keeping the shape of the crowns exactly as my old ones were, saving me the expense of obtaining new retainers. In my lifetime, I have probably been to at least 7 dentists in various cities and I wish I had met Dr. Makkiyah sooner!

    One bad apple can spoil a whole bunch. I'm about to do just that...I went here initially back in…read moreSept 2025. They use strong arm tactics were they pretty much try to convince to buy more denture work than you need. I only went there for simple dentures. This place left me discouraged and sad because this is the day and age we are living in now. The women there were condescending, and rude. I don't know what your experience was I can only tell you about mine. I have dentures why would I need to buy temporary dentures while wait for my new ones to be made? This was back in September I would have to be on a payment plan for a total cost of about $4800. To start the procedure I would make payments starting at $845. When I call today I got this rude genius on the phone claiming he was the office manager. He said he has been there for two months, and there is no one else I can speak to and the buck stops with him. First off dude the buck does not stop at you. He pulled up my old quote and told me that I would need to pay half up front $2300. I ask him why is that that is not what it was back in Sept. First he says "it a new policy", then I said since when. He then said "since September 2025". "Oh, how could that be when they gave me the price I told you". Get this he then said "Oh, they weren't really enforcing the policies back then". I asked to speak to a supervisor he put me on hold for a couple of minutes, then he can back, and said "there is no one else to talk to that what it his, and he's the highest I can go. So, he is Mr. Dentist of Vallejo. I dont think so that would be the district manager, and the Dental Board of California rude dude. These ppl have unscrupulous business practices. If I tell you what I want, and what I can't afford they continue to still badger and persuade you about a higher price denture. Furthermore, I already had x-ray from another dentist that told me I didn't need extractions. This dentist in Sept told me my dentist was wrong. When I told her I was not getting them she got an attitude. Why would I get my teeth pulled if it wasn't necessary. Again, these ppl are about money doing unnecessary dental work at you and your insurance company's expense. To each is own , but this is not a reputable business.

    Aug 14. 2025 12 pm four stars…read more We stopped in today get a second opinion on a four thousand dollars of upcoming dental work. So glad we did. Jean at the front desk is very helpful explaining the dental options and insurance numbers. The dental assistants are charming, friendly and quick. I was trying to check them for wedding rings in hopes for my single son. I'm sad yet happy to report they all wear gloves. The best though to me was Dr. Castillo. A refreshingly honest man. He actually told me that I could put the dental work off for the time being. Oh Doctor. By the way. I believe a bit of a pad attached to the top and or bottom of your front door might help alleviate that horrible metal on metal slamming noise made every time the front door closes. So I'm going to stay with my current tooth in my head for now, the wife will save $1400 compared to our other quote and the 20 year marrage to my last dentist is over.

    Absolutely wonderful office and staff! Their team is respectful throughout the entire visit. They…read moreare upfront about costs and insurance coverage. Dr. Castillo has done beautiful work with all my dental needs and is extremely professional. I have not had a dentist this caring and trustworthy. They are not judgmental nor aggressive in educating and encouraging healthy dental practices. I highly recommend this office!

    I warn you now, never ever go here!!! I thought I had bad experiences with dentists earlier in…read morelife, boy was I wrong. This place is a money hungry, assembly line of torture. I will be demanding a refund, and I am considering further action. I was in so much pain and very anxious about my visit. Only two people in that office cared that I have this fear. One was the very nice girl on the right at the front. The other was the amazing tech who did my X-rays. She spent so much time with me. She coached me and guided me through the whole X-ray process. That was another phobia of mine, but she made it easy; I wish I could thank them both for it. They were amazing!! After that, it was all about making me spend more money once insurance paid. I agreed to see the oral surgeon and made an appointment. I had concerns before the oral surgeon's appointment, plus my script was called into the wrong pharmacy, so I tried calling the office. Good luck with that. You will be constantly rerouted to a call center with employees who know nothing about dental. All they say is, I'll try to call the office, and then they you are told, "well, they aren't answering." That's all you get!! No answers, no nothing. I got hung up on several times when I asked, "so what do I do now?" One call center employee said, "maybee you should go into the office and talk to them." Seriously? Once in for my surgery, I waited 2 hours in the lobby. Mind you, I've expressed my fears and anxiety. It's real! I'm scared to death of the dentist. 2 hours!! So my anxiety is just building at this point. They call me back finally and put me in a chair and then left me alone for another 30 minutes. Finally, some guy comes in and I once again try to express my fears. He asks, "well how bad is it?" I say really bad, I'm a grown man but I'm almost in tears," he then just walks out. Nothing. 20minutes later a different guy walks in and starts prepping a tray, not acknowledging me at all until ask if he was gonna be in there with me. He says, ya, and I again expresses my fears. And again he walks out, nothing. The oral surgeon finally comes in, this is now 3 hours after my scheduled time, he doesn't say anything to me but grabs the needle and comes at me. I freaked. I closed my mouth and said NO. He leans against the counter and stated, " If you can't handle it you can go somewhere that will sedate you." What kind of bed side manner is that?? I really needed this work done as I was, and still am in so much pain. I let him work on me but it was not pleasant. He numbed me up but I knew it wasn't enough. As soon as he grabbed the tooth I yelped. It hurt right away and he said "hold still!" I kept trying to say, not numb, not numb! Then he pulled. None of this was okay, and now I'm still in pain. On top of this I agreed to bone graphs. I should have known better. That is a total scam! Today, 2 days later, one of my stitches fell out. That's not suppose to happen. I'm a Surgical Tech, stitches don't just fall out after 2 days, and btw, bone graphs take longer than 3 seconds. I knew I was getting scammed, but I was so anxious and in so much pain I let it happen. I'm pretty sure there is now more infection from his work than before. I'm bleeding with an open gap in my gums, extreme pain, and I can't get anyone to answer the phone at the office. Just choose another dentist office. Trust me! Please never go here!!!!!!!!
