Dr Ivers has been extremely professional with me. I've had three crowns done and she's been extremely attentive to my very sensitive mouth. I find her to be very intelligent compassionate and kind. She listens well and I'm very happy with her work. My only concern with the office is they do not give out any painkillers pain medication and this is very disturbing as I had an extraction done and it's been 6 days and I'm still in pain. New Mexico may have a problem with distributing pain medication but the status not the fault of patience who are currently experiencing pain we should not have to pay the price for the negligible prescriptions written by doctors years ago. I hope that the dentist at dentistry on St Mike's get there authorization to be able to give pain medication soon and when they do I will have another crown done with Dr Ivers I highly recommend Dr Ivers so nowcan I add to my review the front desk especially Desiree is wonderful and annalize and Lisa are also extremely friendly and professional that's what I want to add thank you Therese read more

Do not recommend. Had bursts of Hope here and there but--but, oh dear, the office manager who weirdly raged and threatened whenever I requested amoxicillin pre-appointment (after five surgeries on my leg, and an ICU sepsis episode, my doctors say I must always request before dental appts), the being told to wait a few weeks before getting perm crown after root canal (before the root canal, they told me I must immediately have them place a perm crown--ideally the very next day!)--then so many other things, too many to count/remember, all very, very wrong in a dental practice. Would be a terrible place for a young assistant or hygienist to train. Would be terrible, as a patient, to have nowhere else to go. Choose a better one!!! read more

Have you ever been to a dentist that does not accommodate emergencies for established patients? Neither have I until I became a patient of this practice. The hygienist was great but the dentists and staff were the worst! The front desk staff knew nothing at all about dentistry. They had no clue as to dental issues. I lost a tooth because of their negligence and refusal to schedule me for an emergency. read more

I was happy here for years, until about 8 months ago when the original dentists left. Since then the place has badly fallen apart. Taken 5 months to put in one crown, and STILL not done! I've never experienced anything like this. Such a shame. read more

Only one dentist there now. Others have all left. Dr. Ivers. Runs around like a chicken with her head cut off, seeing 5 patients simultaneously, with the assistants doing most of the work. Terrible place. No duty of care . read more

The most unprofessional staff, and possibly unethical staff that I have ever dealt with hands down. They'll change the name of their practice and start over, which they've done numerous times. read more

Recently this company was acquired by an unknown entity. At that time my insurance that I had used at this location for 4 years was no longer "in network". This company DIDN'T inform that insurance was not "in network" after the purchase. So I go into a cleaning thinking that my insurance was "in network" not 1 notification even as I am checking in, not any notification as I am checking out. Later that week I receive notice from insurance that they are not in network, and my cost for a cleaning was $100 because not in network Thanks dentistry on saint Michael's for cost me a Benjamin when it should have cost me NOTHING. So how many others were caught by their lack of transparency? I would give them a 0 if possible. Never again. I'll go to comfort dental or just take a trip to Mexico. F'em and luige was right. read more

Imagine, please, your beautiful trait, of oh so very dear importance, being thoughfully tended to by a soul who sincerely practices sound dental technology. May I introduce your fabulous Smile to Dr Alba Chapman. Thank you. My gracious grin is all yours, now....todd.​ read more

I came in as a new patient. Dr. Ivers was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, and explained the treatment recommended to me. The hygienist Shari took her time and cleaned my teeth thoroughly. The nurse Lisa was so sweet and made sure I was comfortable. The front staff is terrible. First off, every time, I called no one would answer the phone and I left four messages and they never returned my call. As you walk-in there is a UNFRIENDLY woman to didn't smile and barely greeted us. Her name is Des? As a business owner, I cannot fathom that they allow this person to be greeting patients much less have contact with them. She clearly hates her job and doesn't care about this office The manager clearly has to see what is going on. I was told this office is owned by a dentist in Albuquerque, I am going to make an effort to locate the owner to share my concerns over this employee. read more

This place is genuinely just so bad. I took my grandfather for an appointment because his teeth were bothering him. Right off the bat the people at the front desk were rude, it's kinda early in the morning so I get that. My grandpa finally gets taken back after 30 minutes of waiting, then has to wait another 45 for the doctor. All the dental assistants were also very rude. So please save your time and take your business elsewhere. read more

Dentists- M Lawrence Larragoite and Robert Chiarito are way too old and need up to date training. Dr. Larragoite worked on partials for my mother and could not get them right after 4 visits to the office. She finally gave up and reported him to her insurance to file a grievance and claim. Dr. Chairito did a crown and drilled too far into my back molar injuring my nerve and now I have to go for a root canal at a different dentist. I reported them to my insurance as well to file a grievance and claim. The office staff is rude and very unprofessional and I will never go to Dentistry on St. Michaels @ 435 St. Michaels drive Suite B201 Santa Fe NM 87505, EVER AGAIN! read more

I just left this office so disgusted and disappointed. I took a couple of family members to the office. I waited patiently at the front desk. I could not believe the words coming out of the office manager's mouth. She was gossiping about some staff members and a dentist on staff. I know other patients were hearing the absolute unprofessional nonsense coming out of her mouth. In addition she was stuffing her face at the front desk which to me is so against OSHA standards. The current staff member upfront a women who is unhygienic, she doesn't look like she brushes her teeth and washes her hair was laughing at the comments the manager was making. In all the years we have visited this office, this is the first time, I have seen it so bad. The unfortunate thing, is the back staff is stellar and so professional. I also heard the dirty employee that they were booked up for months and months, and yet we saw so many staff members hanging out upfront. The previous manager had a focused office staff and she exhibited so much professionalism. This manager appears to have been raised the hood. I left so DISGUSTED, I am going to post a facebook post on this manager and her filthy PROTEGE. My son had ortho by the owner dentist, I feel the need to reach out to him in person when he is at this office. It's sad that an office who has been great is affected by the woman who acts like a clown and not a manager. Running a dental office requires good work ethics from the leaders. It appears that food and gossiping is her only priority. The employee who doesn't tend to her appearance should be relieved of her duties. She is the first person where patients come into contact with and seeing how filthy are is BAD BUSINESS FOR A DENTAL OFFICE. read more

I called and made an appointment to have my teeth cleaned. They said they would need to take x-rays and an exam first. I said fine. The dental assistant took x-rays and a dentist came in and did a minor cursory exam. He counted my teeth and made note on my fillings. They said they were finished. I asked about the teeth cleaning. They said their policy was to schedule patients in the future for a cleaning. No one told me the.....ever. I was dismayed because I explicitly told them I was there for a cleaning. I talked to the front office and questioned them on the issue. Anna was very rude and said that when I called I didn't mention a cleaning. She was wrong. She was lying to protect herself in front of the other two "yes" people at the front desk. Do not ever go here!!! Steve H. read more

Be very careful at this practice. The admin at the front desk has provided incorrect insurance information, and their pricing is high above other practice rates. The customer service by the admin generally is not helpful and sometimes downright rude. Why pay more to be treated with little respect. And they don't stand by their work, quality is not of concern. THIS IS A COPY OF ANOTHER REVIEW DATED 10/31/2-18 THAT SOUNDS LIKE NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED: The front desk people at Uptown Park (In Alburquerque) were professional, up beat and very friendly. Each time I'm at the Santa Fe location I'm ignored and treated POORLY, the staff at the front desk are constantly on their cell phones and they make me feel like I'm an inconvenience. The Owners/ dentist really should send each individual to Albuquerque for training. It was a difference between night and day... SHAME ON YOU SANTA FE LOCATION!!!! read more

Dr Charrito is amazing. He is so kind and caring. He makes sure to make any needed adjustments to any treatments i need. scheduling for any emergencies is also very easy. Receptionists are very friendly. The entire staff is very caring and make you feel right at home. read more

Worst dentist ever!! Dr. David is absolutely horrible. I have had tons of dental work and never have I experienced what I have here. Not only have I been in pain for months but they missed a ginormous infection where I had been complaining of pain. Was told over and over that it was my bite. Told to take ibuprofen and Tylenol so much and so long that I am having kidney issues. Finally after over $$$4000 in and 3 new crowns... I am still in horrible pain. Went to new dentist to find out I have a bad infection in a tooth I had been asking about and concerned about. Way to drop the ball and keep a patient in horrible pain more months!! read more

I am fairly new to Santa Fe and I can say that never in my life have I been in a place where healthcare workers could care less about the people they're supposed to be helping . So I haven't had a chance to establish a dentist yet and at the end of January one of my back teeth flared up to the point where I could not eat and the whole left side of my face was swollen . Dentistry on St Michael's was one of three dentists that my insurance company told me that was in network and I called them and emailed them and told them my situation and their response to me was "we are not taking new patients until the end of February and that will be only an x-ray and an exam." And when I asked what they recommend I should do since I obviously had an infection I was told to call around and see who would see me first . I ended up going to my PCP to get antibiotics and here we are a month later and I've already called 10 other dentists and not one of them have returned my call and the toothnis starting to flare up again. An infection in the tooth can easily go to the brain or the heart so shame on all of you . read more

Seek care elsewhere. Dr. Chiarito was recommended to me by someone who had an implant. I trust my friend who recommended me, but I did not have a positive experience. I have extensive dental issues due to a hereditary condition. Dr. Chiarito did an estimate of the services needed, and not only did he charge a fortune for the estimate, he did not make an honest assessment of my situation and did not take a modern dental 360 CT scan of my mouth. The office did not appear to have much modern equipment at all. In addition, the office staff consistently pushed some kind of Medicare Advantage (there were brochures everywhere) for which I am not eligible. I strongly suspect they are getting a kickback, but, in any case, I made it clear several times that I am fortunate in that I can pay for the services and money is not an issue. In any case, as an update, I went to a more modern dentist in another state and received modern dental scans and a totally different recommendation for services. Also, I was treated with a great deal more respect and decency. These guys are amateurs, mascaraing a big shots. read more

Every facet of this dentistry is of high standard. I am pleased with how courteous the staff is and overall the customer service is excellent. The reception area and exam rooms are clean, orderly, and newly updated. Every member of the staff I've interacted with is knowledgeable in their respective positions and made me feel valued as a customer and patient. The attention to detail and the feedback I received is most appreciated. In my experience, not all businesses operate at this level so I'm confident in saying this is a dentistry worth considering for all your dental needs. I would recommend this dentistry and I happy I made the right choice. I look forward to working with this dentistry for all my future dental needs. Thanks again! I'm new to Santa Fe and this has been a great start. See you next time! read more

I followed this dental office from the mall to their now permanent location because the doctors are efficient, friendly, and easily explain treatment plans. The front desk is welcoming and warm, and they always have fun giveaways. If you're looking for a great dentist, definitely come here! read more

I had to have two crowns replaced. It took multiple visits for the dentist to 'get it right' and in the interim I suffered greatly from the pain on each, and even pain in my jaw for more than a week after each procedure and major headaches. Replacing a crown should take two visits; for me it was multiple times, even four visits to get out of pain for the second one. The hygienist Shari is super. The office management staff doesn't know left from right. There is constant turnover. They are impolite. For the first time, I just received for the first time an email bill today for a procedure from months ago, for which I was supposedly previously unbilled. They told me to pay it in 15 days or they will contact Collections as a fear tactic, when the mistake and oversight is their own. I had the crown treatments divided in two; I paid the first one (they make you pay upfront and THEN you have to get your insurer to compensate you). It's all about the money. They dared to accuse me of not having paid the second half and 'keeping the payment from the insurance company rather than paying them' and off to Collections we go. Avoid this office, unless you want to deal with incompetent office staff and a dentist who requires multiple visits to finally make the pain go away and do his job correctly, right from the beginning. read more

They lost my appointment, said they would be able to see me anyways, made me wait outside but would call when it was time. After 1.5 hours I left, and they never called thereafter. Unprofessional, waste of time. read more

First, and foremost, the Entire Team excels, with keen knowledge and unquestionable professionalism. Santa Fe Place Dental has been my practitioner for many years, throughout which my dental health has greatly improved. I believe Dr. Chiarito approaches dentistry with preventive medicine techniques....assisting with current problems, while also assisting the patient with resources to keep from experiencing re-occurrences, well into the future. Tara Lane has always been very attentive to my teeth cleanings, and continues to surprise me with her artfulness. The SFe Place Dental Team, from Claudia, to Robert, has truly created a place of solace, concerning dentistry. Thank you, All. Todd Lawson LaTourrette. read more
