I was referred to Ethos Advanced Dental Care by friends and former coworkers after moving to the…read morearea, and I couldn't be more grateful. My hometown dentist had set the bar high, but Ethos has truly exceeded all of my expectations and set a new standard of excellence. When I first started my search, I visited another dentist who quoted me nearly $8,000 for a root canal--even after insurance (Delta Dental). I was in pain, overwhelmed, and desperate for the right care. From the moment I called Ethos, I knew I was in good hands. The receptionists are some of the kindest, most attentive people I've ever met--they listen with care, are incredibly organized, and made sure I was seen right away. At my first appointment, Paige (the hygienist) was wonderful--gentle, thorough, and genuinely kind. The office itself is spotless, modern, and so comfortable. Each room has a TV with headphones, clean cozy blankets, and little touches that make you feel at ease. Dr. Vargas has been an absolute light throughout my entire experience. He is not only highly intelligent and skilled, but also approachable and compassionate. He explained every step of my care plan clearly, always put my best interest first, and made sure I felt heard and comfortable. I needed a couple of root canals (my first ever), and while I was nervous, the process was painless, quick, and seamless. Their referral for an endodontist was also excellent. Back at Ethos, Carlos did an amazing job crafting my temporary crown--it was carefully sculpted, perfectly color-matched, and surprisingly comfortable. My permanent crown was also a perfect fit, and when I needed a minor adjustment afterward, Dr. Vargas immediately got me in and personally followed up to make sure everything felt right. The fact that he even called me after appointments to check in says everything about the level of care here. More recently, I had another cleaning and started their whitening program. The team took into account my teeth sensitivity and took the time to explain the process thoroughly and made sure my whitening trays were precise and comfortable. At that visit I also saw Dr. Sewell, who was so fun, energetic, and personable--he has a fantastic sense of humor and made the whole experience enjoyable. From start to finish, Ethos has gone above and beyond in every aspect of care. Whether you see Dr. Vargas or Dr. Sewell, you will be treated with kindness, expertise, and genuine care. I can't recommend Ethos Advanced Dental Care enough--it's truly the best dental experience I've ever had.

Absolutely a pleasure being a patient of Dr. Skidmore. He and his staff are so accommodating,…read morecaring and very friendly. I've had trouble in town finding a solid dentist and knowledgable staff. Well, no more and have been a patient for 2+ years. Very happy. A review is LONG overdue here and I must convey my most recent experience. In early December '25. 5-days out lengthy overseas vacation, my front tooth shattered, very ugly and a showstopper. I would not be able to travel looking like I did. I suspected I was doomed and would need to revamp my itinerary. In a panic state, I called the office and they were able to get me in less than 1-hour for an exam. The Staff greeted me with kindness and care, as usual, immediately put me to ease. Dr. Skidmore developed a plan and indicated that I would be able to make my departure. The Staff had to do some shifting around of existing appointments and found a way to get me into their existing tight, end-of-the-year, schedule. In no time, Dr. Skidmore was able to get me up and running. The Dr. and Staff took the extra time to make sure the fit was right and cosmetically, appearance matched and was aligned to the neighboring front tooth. Perfect. Thankfully, I was able to make my flight and avoid costly flight and hotel rebooking. Lightning fast with quality care. So damn impressed as everyone went above and beyond. Note: I've also informed my wife to come over from a different in-town provider. She is equally pleased and impressed as I am with everyone, in all aspects. Finding quality care is like discovering gold and we feel lucky. Thank you to all!

Once there, my hygienist was so thorough, and it felt like she was not judging me and actually cared about helping me.

They even helped me out on pricing as I'm still uninsured and I really appreciated the compassion with every interaction.

Dr. Lange took the time to carefully ensure that the crowns fit well with her existing dental work and made adjustments so everything felt comfortable. He was very gentle and patient throughout the process, which really helped put my mom at ease. His assistant, Rene, was also wonderful. He was kind, attentive, and made sure my mom felt comfortable during the visits. What we appreciated most was that both Dr. Lange and Rene took the time to educate us. They explained what they were doing, answered our questions, and discussed alternative options in case my mom continues to have sensitivity. That level of communication meant a lot. Dr. Lange is a private practice owner who clearly cares about his patients and the quality of his work. It is refreshing to see a dentist who takes the time to make sure things are done right and that patients feel comfortable throughout the process. We are very grateful for the care my mom received.

I had an incredibly frustrating and disrespectful experience with this office that ended up wasting…read moretwo full months of my time. I previously had dental work done elsewhere where a tooth was ground down too far, and I simply wanted cosmetic bonding to rebuild and even out the teeth. This office advertises bonding, so I scheduled an appointment specifically for that service. At my first appointment, I was expecting to see Dr. Josh, but I was seen by a completely different dentist. Instead of discussing bonding (the reason I scheduled the appointment), the entire visit turned into a hard sales pitch for veneers. I repeatedly made it clear that I was not interested in veneers and only wanted bonding. I was then told the dentist who actually performs bonding was not even in the office, so they scheduled another appointment, which had to be a month later due to my traveling work schedule. I came in for my second "consultation" expecting to finally meet with Dr. Josh and discuss the situation face-to-face. Instead, the dentist never came out to see me at all. The condescending receptionist had to repeatedly go to the back to speak with someone and then come back to relay messages. I was ultimately turned away and told the doctor "was not comfortable" doing the bonding with no further explanation as to why. So after two months of waiting, taking time off work, and showing up to my appointment, the doctor didn't even have the basic courtesy to come out, look at my teeth, or explain the decision in person. If they were never willing to do bonding, that should have been communicated from the beginning instead of dragging this out for two months and pushing veneers. The whole experience felt like they were far more interested in upselling expensive cosmetic procedures than actually helping me with the service they advertise. I travel frequently for work and am on a time crunch, and this situation has been incredibly stressful because I simply want my smile to look normal again after the previous dental work. The lack of communication, lack of transparency, and complete disregard for my time was extremely disappointing. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you're seeking honest cosmetic dental work.

We used Rancho Dental when my now adult sons were kids. At the time we had dental insurance that…read moreRancho Dental accepted. My boys are now young men and we haven't used Rancho Dental since 2017. My middle son came back from college up in Northern California for Winter 2024 break needing a cleaning and complaining of pain in his molars, and I contacted Rancho to get him in. I advised I had United Concordia, and the front desk said "we take that", with no mention of any caveats to the contrary. The appointment was scheduled and my son arrived, only to be told last minute that while they accept United Concordia, they are "out of contract" with them and there would be additional costs. My son, not being as savvy an adult yet, and needing the cleaning and exam as he was having pain in his molars, agreed. This was the week of Christmas and getting another exam scheduled before he had to return home the following week after Christmas would have not been possible. We are being billed by Rancho Dental for $189.00. The explanation is, while they "accept" United Concordia, they refuse to adhere to United Concordia's contracted cost schedule and sticks the difference to the Client. Aside from a "sorry we will make a note in the record, how would you like to pay?", that is all they offered to remediate this. Had Rancho Dental told me when I made the appointment for my son, that they in fact don't honor fee schedules of certain dental insurance carriers, we would have used anyone of the countless other equally capable dental groups in Temecula/Murrieta. Recommendation to Rancho Dental- Don't say you "accept" dental insurance carriers whose fee schedules you don't honor. Don't wait until the actual appointment time to then advise of it. Recommendation to potential customers- Insist that Rancho Dental will adhere to your plans fee schedule when you book you appointment. Its unfortunate that Rancho Dental burned a customer relationship over poor initial communication.

Drop whatever dentist you have now and go here instead - Here's why: Front desk staff- I cannot express how good the front office staff here actually is. It's mildly mind blowing - Then knew my nickname when I walked in without prompt from me. Every talk, from arranging an appointment, to billing it a pure joy (yeah, even when it's a bunch of money). I've never felt more like a person in a dental office. The doctors - I'm so mouth pain adverse - And every other dentist office I have been to has at least one that's going to cause you unnecessary pain. If they employ one here, I have not found them. I've had several crowns from here and next day, I can barely feel anything, and certainly not pain. They are the only crowns I have that I forget are crowns. Get this; they even replaced somebody else's crown work that had fallen out. That one had been rubbing my gums and annoying me for years until it just felt off- Now that they replaced it, like the new ones, I can't even tell you where it is. The deep cleaning was a pleasure to go through here and instead of just bleeding gums after, I actually felt clean- Amazing. In my opinion, most modern dentist office billing departments are untalented grifters at best. Here, I have never felt I was being weirdly charged or had them come back and say they miscalculated thousands of dollars, which has been the norm from other offices. Really, yelp should implement extra stars just for this office. I can't recommend it enough.

Very expensive, and when the work failed, accountability was not there…read more I had a crown placed on tooth 19 on 12/23/2025. After placement, I continued having pain and cold sensitivity, and I raised concerns before any root canal was done that the crown was not contacting or functioning correctly. Multiple adjustments were made, but the problem was not resolved. I was then told to proceed with a root canal, and after that the crown still was not functioning properly. The end result was a crown with no proper occlusal contact that was not functional for normal chewing. Dr. Im also stated in writing, "You won't need a new crown" and "We do not remake crowns (my crowns) after root canal treatment." Despite all of that, Dr. Im refused to replace the crown or issue a refund. In my experience, the office felt more sales oriented than patient outcome oriented, and I was not comfortable with how far discussions went beyond the core dental issue I came in to address. I have filed complaints with the Dental Board of California and the California Attorney General.
