I'm very pleased how Dr. Bacos approaches his treatment and has the most caring and gentle approach; which is a critical aspect when your anxiety prone and have fears and trauma from previous providers of care. I believe he had been the most qualified and caring dentist that I have came across. I was with my adult dentist after my perio-dentist for a good time after a series poor experiences. I have been reviewing and assessing dentist prior to leaving my original dentist, before meeting Dr. Bacos and I'm glad to find a center to meet all my dental needs. All his staff is wonderful and I have been recommending him to all to I know. You will be overly pleased thin him.

Anything and everything tried to do failed spectacularly. I've spent eight years there being…read moretortured and extorted for more money more money more money with zero satisfying results. If you want a dentist for popping in and out for a cleaning or suddenly have a cavity, it would work out better for YOU. If you have serious issues, don't end up like me and have all the teeth yanked out of your mouth for dentures that they charge you $180 to consistently improperly maintaining them. It was so bad, I spent a year not using the new dentures at all because I had spent so much money, I just spent the year without it in my mouth. So, don't let this happen to you. IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING BEYOND THE NORMAL CAVITIES, FILLINGS AND CROWNS - FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE. Enter at your own risk unless you make $200,000 a year or more because they'll take one hell of a chunk of it.

Not enough room for me to continue about how fabulous they all are...so make an appointment and find out for yourself!

I had an appointment on December 18, 2025, which I believed was scheduled for a cleaning. When I…read moremade the appointment, the receptionist asked what I was coming in for, and I specifically stated a cleaning since it had been a while. I was also receiving text messages and emails reminding me to come in, which further reinforced that understanding. When I arrived, I still assumed I was there for a cleaning. A staff member took X-rays, explaining they were needed since it had been some time to check for cavities or other issues. After the X-rays, I clearly stated that I was only there for a cleaning and did not want any work done that would not be covered by my dental insurance. I was told this would be checked. I was then informed that Dentis Choi would examine my teeth. I was told I had two cavities, decay, a chipped tooth, and a baby tooth that never grew in something I've known about for years and was previously told did not need treatment if it wasn't causing issues. After sharing this information, the dentist left the room without explaining next steps. I assumed she had stepped out briefly and that my teeth would still be cleaned. Instead, another staff member came in to review a treatment plan. At that point, I expressed that I was confused and reiterated that I had come in for a cleaning. I was then told the hygienists were backed up and that there must have been a miscommunication. I agreed and explained that this process should have been clearly communicated when the appointment was scheduled that an exam and treatment plan discussion would take place before any cleaning. That expectation was never explained. I was then asked to sign a treatment plan for cavity fillings totaling $280. I declined, explaining that I was not comfortable committing to payment when I came in solely for a cleaning and circumstances could change before a return visit. I was told I should sign before the end of the year because the cost could increase with my insurance next year. I thanked her for the information. I returned on December 23, 2025, for my cleaning. Check-in went smoothly, and the front desk staff were friendly. The dental assistant prepped me, and the hygienist introduced herself and explained that she would be cleaning my teeth. During the cleaning, water began dripping down my mouth. Although it was mentioned and briefly addressed, the water continued to drip down my neck and onto my back, leaving the back of my shirt wet for the remainder of the appointment. I understand that some water is normal during a dental cleaning, but I have never experienced that level of dripping. Typically, minor drips are immediately addressed to ensure patient comfort. I was also unsure why the hygienist required an assistant throughout the cleaning, as in my experience hygienists usually perform cleanings independently, with the dentist coming in afterward. At the end of the appointment, the hygienist recommended scheduling a visit to complete the cavity fillings. I explained that my previous interaction with Dentist Choi was unpleasant due to the lack of communication and that I would not feel comfortable having her complete the procedure. Overall, the front desk staff were pleasant, but the lack of clear communication and attention to patient comfort made this a frustrating experience. I requested for my x-rays and files to look for a new dentist.

Unprofessional front desk personnel. I was charged out of pocket for some X-rays I clearly told…read morethem not to do if my insurance would not cover the cost. When they realized their error, the front desk person told me that she's "not a mind reader" and that it was my fault for not knowing when the last time I had X-rays done. I've never been disrespected by a front desk person like this before at any establishment in the past, especially while I kept my composure and professionalism. Since Patterson sold the business to whoever the new owner is, the service has deteriorated year after year and I've final had enough. Don't believe me, just take a look at the reviews from a few years ago when Patterson was still the owner and compare them to the more recent reviews and you'll see what I mean. I was with them for 10 years, but no more. The rest of my family has already left this dentistry over the last couple of years and I was the last one holding out. Needless to say, I wont be going back to this place, especially when there's other options in town. Don't waste your time with these folks unless you enjoy being taken advantage of and disrespected in front of other customers
