Edit 8/30/21: I found out that my review from earlier in the year was not posted. Here goes:…read more I will start with saying that I do not like change very much! Especially when it comes to my medical/dental care. I used to go to a dentist less than a mile from where I live - which was phenomenal and worked well with my schedule. My sister, Shareen, has been raving about Dr. Patel for a few years (she even entered Dr. Patel's number in my contact list a while back). In January, I started having this pain on my left side of the mouth (about a couple of weeks after my last routine dental appointment at my regular dentist)...long story short, I ended up needing a root canal and found out that I had a cracked tooth that was progressively getting worse. Which led me to think - maybe my dentist should have caught it during my last very recent visit). Anyway, fast forward to today. I switched to Dr. Patel in late January and am extremely thrilled. The entire team is helpful, cheerful, knowledgeable and makes for a pleasant experience. The office is conveniently located (not under a mile from my home, but it is an absolutely worthwhile trade-off). I ended up needing a crown and the team worked around my schedule and kept in contact with me for any openings that may come up before my scheduled appointment. The text communication is super helpful, as a I spend most of my work life on conference calls. During my prep to get the tooth ready for the crown, I did not like all the "stuff" happening in my mouth, so Dr. Patel would pause after every few seconds and make sure I was okay. I think the procedure took about 30 minutes, but it felt like it went by much faster, even though Dr. Patel would stop for me to make sure I was okay. That is how efficient he is! Oh and they have a TV mounted to the ceiling, so you can actually have something to do instead of just laying there. AND - they give you awesome headphones so you can catch up on your old episodes of Friends or Narcos or whatever! And while writing this review, I found out that my other sister, Shane is also a patient of Dr. Patel. We are making this a family dentist! Pam is a terrific, Bonnie is awesome, Kelsey is superb, Kasandra is a delight, and Dr. Patel is a Rockstar! I highly recommend them.

The best dentist in the Arden/Sacramento Area hands down!…read more I found Dr. Patel through Yelp and was obviously initially skeptical of the reviews. The office is beautiful. Kind of a relaxed, chic welcoming feel to it. After spending the last couple of years with Dr. Patel and his amazing team working through a comprehensive treatment plan (crowns and veneers) I can honestly say that this is best professional service I've ever had. Dr. Patel and his team, especially (Jessi who is in the front) generously spent the extra time working through a complicated insurance plan situation with the up most patience, always keeping me in the loop through the process. Appointments were always made to best fit my schedule and there was never a feeling of being rushed during the many consultations as the treatment plan constantly evolved. Gabi , Erica and Nathalie are always extra patient with me as I have severe anxiety about having poking and prodding done to my mouth. (YES, like a little kid LOL ) There is never a day that you look forward to going to the dentist but Dr. Patel excels at making the experience somehow almost tolerable and humane. Old school bedside manner meets the new century. Call them if you have questions about your insurance or even if you want a 2nd opinion. You know its always good to have another insight on what other doctors/offices say what you need. Really, stop looking, go to Dr. Patel if you are looking for an A+++++ General Dentist!!

She let me know what's going on with my teeth and what I need to do plus today was my second day coming and today was a deep clean for my teeth. Got to come again pretty soon to for my bottom to receive a deep clean. I do recommend this dentist office. They have a therapist that she will massage your feet, hands your jaw. Give a warmer for your shoulders. Never had that in a dentist office. Do I recommend this place? Yes!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with another review that the front office staff needs more training and was rude to my…read morehusband. He wondered about and asked questions about why his bill kept going up for the same services. Instead of answering in a civil manner, she asked my husband to leave. He was then sent a letter from the owner saying they were refusing him service. There was no opportunity to talk to anyone about this. When he and I went in to talk to someone, we were told that the owner was on pregnancy leave. I had heard that story before. Anyway, I'm sorry to say that the treatment from the front desk staff was not acceptable- rude and obnoxious. We both received care from the dentists and hygienists that was very good and professional. Unfortunately, we won't be going back,

Dr Ryan is great, but the reception staff is not the greatest. They are not very understanding when…read moreit comes to cancelling due to sickness. They called me the day before to reschedule my appointment because the doctor was out. I accepted the new appointment. They also rescheduled an appointment without asking first. I received a text to find out about the appointment change. And I reached out to find out what was going on. Then the two appointments that I had to reschedule because myself and my two children are sick is met with a response of, ' we can't reschedule you at all because you have canceled last minute more than once.' We will put you on a short call list, but we won't charge you!. Gee. Thanks for your help. It seems like they want you to be understanding when they need to reschedule, but not so much when you're the one that needs to.

Dr. Matthew Ryan possesses the qualities I look for in a dentist. He has excellent communication…read moreskills, a high level of knowledge and experience, attention to detail, compassion, dexterity, the ability to listen to your concerns and a clear explanation of treatment options. He recently handled my dental emergency in a cool collective manner. He assessed the severity of the situation, provided immediate pain relief and antibiotics to treat the infection and determined a comprehensive treatment plan to prevent further complications. Dr. Ryan saved my life. I have been Dr. Ryan's dental patient for 15 years. He doesn't miss a beat. I trust and respect his knowledge, skills and abilities. And his staff: Arlena, Jen, Meena and Mika support Dr. Ryan by always offering attentive, reliable, knowledgeable and courteous service. I have recommended friends and family members to Dr. Ryan and they share my opinion that he is the very "best" in the dental practice industry in the Sacramento area and beyond. I highly recommend Dr. Ryan and his staff. You won't be disappointed!

My immediate and extended family have been with Bianca Yee DDS for years. Her thoughtful and…read morecareful care, along with her excellent and friendly hygienists and staff, is beyond compare. A special shout-out to her office and how they have navigated all this covid craziness! There are many challenges in these times. Just alone, keeping up with what seems to be daily changing CDC and local guidelines is an incredible task. They are on top of it! I have yet to see any type of healthcare facility/office so diligent in keeping social distancing practices in place and maintaining a consistent sterile environment for the safety of their patients and staff. My family and I 100% recommend her! Dana Rygg MD

Dr. Yee and her staff are the best you will find in Sacramento area. I have been a patient for…read moreyears - even before Dr. Yee took over this practice. What I love about Dr. Yee and her staff is that they truly care. Nobody in that office is clocking in and out. I truly believe that everyone from Hailey at the front desk to Jennifer who has assisted Dr. with my (numerous) crowns are there because they appreciate and value what Dr. Yee is accomplishing in the dental field. Like the name of the business states, her care is 'Complete.' She considers various factors that I think are ignored by in the field most to determine a path of care. I have had a plan of care determined only to have her reach out and say, 'You know what, I have been thinking about this and I think we do this instead...' She isn't just trying to get you in and out of the chair. Dr. Yee is really concerned and cares how she provides care. I love talking to her about the numerous classes she takes to improve her practice. I do think its worth noting that this is a minority, woman owned business. You are not going to find a better practice in Sacramento - this is hands down, the best of the best! Thank you Dr. Yee and your staff. I will be a patient for life.

I experience moderate discomfort during routine dental visits, and his team always goes above and beyond to ensure that I'm comfortable throughout my visit. My former dentist would fault me for this: "you dont floss enough or brush thoroughly..etc" was their reason for my consistent discomfort. At this clinic, I experience none of that. You're uncomfortable? Okay we'll numb you- no more pain and leaving in a bad mood after treatment. I am always greeted very kindly by the girls up front and my hygienist. Hearing everyone talk and laugh frequently with Dr. Mercado goes to show that it's a healthy work environment and enjoyable place to work. I really value that component and it positively impacts the energy of the clinic. Thank you all for always taking such good care of me even though I'm high maintenance and extra sensitive

I had…read moreneglected my dental care for a couple of years and there was a possibility that I might have needEd an implant or bridge. Dr. Vedenoff worked conservatively and was able to save both teeth involved. He was meticulous in fitting the crown and inlay. He took great care in all aspects of his work.

He is a compassionate dentist that considers patient comfort and really wants you to leave with a great smile.

I have been going to Jin T. Kim for a few years now and I will continue to go to him. They are…read morefriendly, informative, and know exactly what they are doing which matters to me a lot. I am a Internet sales manager at a dealership and when I needed a root canal I was shopping prices and quality for the past few weeks. One random day I was speaking to one of my clients about getting invisiline and other dental work done. My client was highly reccomending Dr. Kim, so I figured I would give him a call and see how he compares against my current dentist and I found out I was overpaying for the same material and all. I figured, well dang this seems nice why don't I give him a shot. I got my teeth cleaned the first trip and the next I arrived and without even a wait I got my root canal done then he even advised me on how to prevent it in them future. When I got home later that day I got a call from him following up to see how I'm doing, which is huge in my opinion and blew me away, then later a text to let me know if I have any questions to feel free to ask. I was gone for quite a bit due to buying a house and building on my project. However, this most recent visit I had my wisdom tooth removed as it caused me many complications with pain and food getting stuck in them causing a cavity too! So I made a wise decision (pun intended) and decided to let them remove it instead of being put under somewhere else. We set up a date once more, I arrived then without a wait called me in and started right on time. I didn't feel a thing during the proceedure as I was worried about this the whole time before the night before. I had my girlfriend take me home and ONCE MORE later that day I got a follow up call but couldnt answer due to the extraction. He instead sent a text and let me know if I need anything or have questions to reach out to him!!! THATS GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! You the man Dr. Kim Its been a week now and my swelling is down and I can eat semi solids again. Thank you guys for being awesome! It not the closest dentist to my house but without a doubt is the best choice by far. I highly reccomend them to everyone I know and if you are reading this too, give them a shot you will not be disappointed!
