I have had two visits to Arrowhead Dental Center now and have enjoyed the experience very much…read more It's a beautiful office located in the Minden. Gardnerville area. I don't mind the drive for a good experience. The hygienist has been great and the dentist, Dr. Wildman, has been to the point and clear. I have always hated the dentist but I haven't loathed going to this office as much as others. My last dentist tried to tell me I had all kinds of issues and needed expensive treatment to fix the problems, but this office has been realistic and hasn't tried to upsell unneeded treatments. Scheduling has been easy and they send plenty of appointment reminders. You can complete all paperwork in advance online or at their office on one of their computers. They have top of the line tech and make both dental work and clerical work a breeze. As long as nothing crazy happens with insurance billing or upcoming appointments, I expect this review to stand at 5 stars. I recommend Arrowhead Dental Center for your dental needs!

I have attended to my dental care with 6 month examinations and fillings etc as recommended by Dr. Pinther. I am retired on a fixed income. It looks like I need to find another dentist.

Dr. Cortese (and family) and I had been together since 1992, so I stuck around mostly for loyalty and helped by clever travel planning to and from the Bay Area. However, after a Friday appointment (earlier in 2024) when I didn't recognize anyone working that day, I finally decided to stop the commute and sign on with Gayle's strongly recommended dentist - Dr. Unruh. Every time a new dentist or hygienist opens my mouth, I image the person to be Laurence Olivier in Marathon Man asking me: Is it Safe? And as far as Gayle's high marks for this dentist and staff? Trust, but Verify. And Gayle's right! Dr. Unruh is kind of soft spoken, gentle but thorough, while explaining things well along the way. His support staff works in concert with that very nicely. Even the "contract" dental hygienist during my last visit told me that I had made a great choice. At my age where new things may crop up more often, I tend to take his or the hygienist's advice to heart. So far, I've had a full "on boarding" evaluation, a cavity filled, a classic probe-based teeth cleaning, and a precautionary referral. Things are moving on a positive direction and my new Waterpik will be arriving soon.

Celeste was my student dentist when she was at USC Dental School, and was one of the best I've…read moreencountered in the decade or so I've been going to the school. My prior two student dentists had been problematic, and I always had the feeling the department had assigned me to the best they had after I complained about them. She always had a great sense of humor, and I was impressed by the work she was doing offering dental services to underprivileged kids around southern CA and in Mexico City during her vacation breaks. She had a talent and true passion for her work that I rarely see (or feel in the dental chair...). If I lived near her office, I would definitely look to her for dental work. I've recommended her to a few friends who've moved to the region, and encourage anyone to seek out her services.

I began seeing Dr. Eckerman several years ago for general dentistry. I liked the location, the…read moreoffice, the people working there and Dr. Eckerman. I have had dental issues throughout my life and am now 65 years old. Dr. Eckerman suggested that I have her complete a dental plan which I agreed. The plan called for approximately $65,000.00 worth of treatment. Essentially removing all of my fixed bridges and several teeth and replacing with implants. Now if I were 25 or 30 years old, maybe spending $65,000.00 might make sense but at my age I did not feel that it was cost effective. That is more than I paid for my first house. I did take Dr. Eckerman's advice to have several teeth removed (she does not do extractions but referred me to a great oral surgeon) plus I had some fixed bridges removed and replaced with implants. One of the issues apparently was that I had the implants done in Mexico for a fraction of US prices. Dr. Eckerman was not pleased however I continued to see her for some other work as well as cleanings. About four weeks ago I developed a toothache and called Dr. Eckerman's office and was given an appointment on January 8, 2020 with the promise that if something came open sooner they would call me. Nothing was available sooner. I saw Dr. Eckerman on my appointment date and she told me that I needed a root canal but that she did not have time to do it and referred me to a root canal "specialist". As I was about to leave, Dr. Eckerman told me that her dental philosophy and mine were incompatible and that she would not longer see me as a patient. The day after my appointment and Dr. Eckerman's verbal admonishment I received a letter in the mail confirming that she was severing our doctor/patient relationship. I have always paid for my appointments and work on time, in fact I have dental insurance that Dr. Eckerman accepted until recently. She no longer accepts any dental insurance. I am extremely disappointed with Dr. Eckerman's attitude and unprofessionalism. I've never heard of a dentist "firing" a patient before. I have to believe that this was primarily due to me not accepting the $65,000. plan as well as my dental treatment from Mexico. Both my wife and I have been seeing Dr. Eckerman and have both referred others to her. I can't in good conscience do that anymore. Dr. Eckerman has completely lost my respect. I my opinion she is completely unprofessional. I am concerned that Dr. Eckerman's attitude, conduct and unprofessionalism may be based on age discrimination.

We had a heart-to-heart discussion and he told me it was time to take action. So it began, 10 months of treatment procedures, and all kinds of handholding and Support. Dr. Coombs is not only a very gifted and talented dentist, but he is one of the kindest and most compassionate dental providers you could ever meet.
