Dr. Hanes came highly recommended via every social circle I inquired. I went to visit him for the first time this morning and I now cannot believe I wasted five years of my mouth elsewhere. The office doesn't look like much on the outside, but the interior is beautiful and the equipment very modern. The staff is personable and efficient, and the dentist actually had a detailed conversation with me concerning the health of my teeth. Something I was not at all used to. Dr. Hanes engaged me at every turn of the initial exam. It was almost as if he saw me as a human being, but I can't be sure. I walked out of his office aware of serious issues my previous dentist never once alerted me to, and with a comprehensive plan in mind to correct them. AND they were sensitive to my wallet, advising me on the best, most cost-efficient ways to budget the work ahead. They smiled, cracked jokes, demonstrated expertise and...they cared. Amazing.

The dental care and professionalism used to be excellent, but preventative care is sorely lacking…read more I hope that the care has improved since the time of this review. To maintain dental health, it is very important to have regular dental exams every 6 months. This helps to identify any dental issues early on, and hopefully avoid the need for extractions, crowns, etc. I had been a client of Pueblo Del Sol Dental for many years (about 12+ years) and the care and customer service was EXCELLENT. But it seems that something changed somewhere along the line. I had a permanent bridge installed by Dr. Trujillo and was told at the time that it was essential to maintain my dental hygiene or the bridge would fail and I would need a new bridge installed, which is a very painful and expensive procedure. At the 6 month point for my bi-yearly dental exam, I called to schedule my usual exam, and was told that it would be more than 6 months to be able to see any hygienist or dentist. I explained that I had a bridge installed by Dr. Trujillo, and it was my understanding that if I did not keep up with my regular exams, it was likely that the bridge would fail. The scheduler/receptionist did tell me to keep trying to call and they would see if they could get me in sooner as I was a long-standing patient. I did finally get an appointment a month later, and saw a hygienist who was EXCELLENT. (I wish I could remember her name!) She carefully showed me the optimal oral hygiene sequence for my bridge and actually let me try it while she watched and clarified anything that I had missed. She was wonderful! But when it was time for my next 6-month apointment, I called to schedule my next 6-month appointment with the hygienist, so that there wouldn't be any lag timem abd was told that the earliest appointment with any hygienist would be in 12 months (a full year away) Sadly, after being a long-standing patient for more than 12 years, I had to quickly find another dentist or risk jeopardizing my bridge. I was able to find another dentist's office that was able to schedule me with one of the dentists without a long delay, and then with a hygienist shortly after. I am very sad that Pueblo Del Sol no longer provides the care that they once did. I had been going there so long it almost felt like "family" I don't know what happened, but I truly hope that they can somehow regain their integrity and care for patients. The reason for the 4 star review is that for many, many years this office was excellent and caring. I don't know what changed and I hope that somehow the excellence and care that this office had demonstrated years ago will return. This review is partly regarding the many years in the past when this office showed care for their clients, and partly regarding the experience I had with the scheduler almost a year ago. I hope that things have turned around at this date, and that patients are treated with more care and concern at this time. And I am thankful that I was able to find another dentist's office that provides excellent care in a timely manner. Otherwise I may have compromised my bridge and have had to have another one, at a cost of around $6,000.

When i arrived for my appointment, the dentist was going to proceed without nitrous. When I asked what was going on, I was told that the appropriate amount of time had not been scheduled. They needed to "set up" the nitrous. So, he pulled out some kind of respiratory tubing and hooked it up. He became angry that I did not feel the affects quickly enough. I decided it was best to leave. I was charged $150.oo for the tubing. I am a retired nurse. It didn't seem to be a complicated procedure to "set up" the nitrous. i had been a client there for 3 years.

I suspected trouble was brewing upon the descent of my oldest son's permanent teeth. Neither…read morehubby's nor my teeth required orthodontics, so I waited & watched, patiently, ever hopeful, in silence. Finally, Dr. Bloom (our pediatric dentist, who owes his bulging bank account to my kids' crappy brushing techniques and stubborn resistance to ever floss) delivered the inevitable, wallet deflating news - braces were necessary. I selected Dr. Kawakami, blindly, no preferences were given from Bloom, who remains annoyingly, politically indifferent during such discussions. So, left to my own decision making devices, I chose Kawakami based on the consonant cadence of his name. The first time we met Dr. Kawakami, it was Friday, just before Halloween. The entire office staff, including Dr. K were festively attired in costumes, and not on a phoning-it-in level, either. Much to my sci-fi son's delight, Dr. K was Star Trek's Spock and easily indulged him w/ Spock-isms. We were putty in his hands after that initial interaction. Dr. K is a kind, conscientious person. He gently mapped out treatment option and easily shared his experienced opinions. The grand total for the multiple tactics necessary to correct my son's problems came to $4000, of which our insurance covered $1000 - yeah, our insurance suuuucks! Dr. K's office offers a generous 10% discount for cash payment in full, so that brought it down to $2700. That includes all of the x-rays, maintenance visits, wax, etc... Dr. K's staff is really friendly, happy, even. I actually buy that they like working there. His receptionists are not time Nazi's, meaning, when we happen to run late - ok, I admit to an uncontrollable, genetic predisposition that unintentionally results in arriving a few minutes late, yes, people hate me for it, but, I digress - they don't give us the evil eye, making us feel even guiltier, like every other desk jockey does. My son's brace technician is Cheryl, he really likes her, considers her a friend, and barely complains even when she has to crank up the wire tension. Tanner's teeth are well on their way to becoming one of his best assets, thanks to Dr. K and his staff. They have made an expensive and tedious process sail by smoothly.

Over the past 10 years I have tried several on-line MAD devices (mandibular advancement devices)…read morethat I either purchased through Amazon or had professionally made by a dentist. However, the ones from Amazon were usually uncomfortable, fell apart quickly, and didn't fit quite right, and the professionally made one was fairly cheaply made, hard to maintain, and VERY difficult to get replacement parts for (plastic spacer bands unavailable). So, although I was VERY skeptical at first, I tried a new professionally made device from Alan at Samurai Sleep. Although they are expensive (around 6K....hence my skepticism!!) mine was fully covered (100%) by Medicare and my secondary insurance (UHC). The quality of the materials used is huge (just like a professionally made denture) and the effectiveness is huge (I am able to sleep better than I have at any time in my life!!!). So, if you are considering getting a MAD device instead of a CPAP machine (a no-brainer for me!!!) I highly recommend getting one through Samurai Sleep. Also, Charity (the office manager) makes the whole process (especially the interface with the insurance companies) very easy and they all are super easy to work with. Very Highly Recommended! Also, if you have further questions, I would be happy to answer them from a customer's perspective.
