Every single visit the staff is thorough, friendly, and makes you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you walk in. They don't rush through the cleaning and always make sure everything is done right. But what really makes this place special is Dr. Hartford himself. He always takes the time to stop by during my visit just to check in and ask how things are going. It's a small thing, but it makes such a big difference; it never feels like just another appointment. You feel like an actual person, not just a patient on a schedule.

It wasn't just one individual thing. It was many Things that…read moreadded up to dissatisfaction. 1. My first apt. With the dentist went well, except for two things; They had more paperwork than I've ever filled out anywhere. They wanted my ss number too but my dentist retired so i thought this was the new norm. Firstly, It was very inviting as i walked up ,,with a community garden and a banner supporting local kids organizations as well as a massage chair inside. When I was greeted by the dr. She provided aromatherapy, showed me a tv on ceiling, as well as genuine personal care and concern. She suggested a cosmetic procedure. They tested the acids in my mouth and the dentist recc "hello" toothpaste from target. She said it would set the ph so as to not be so acidic. (The ingredients in that toothpaste are toxic. ) my second concern. I looked up what would help naturally and found that bicarbonate was best. 2. Before the next apt. I was bombarded with voice msgs., texts and emails confirming my upcoming apt. Then i was texted and phoned asking if i wanted to come on short notice to be seen where someone had cancelled. As the calls and texts increased, i phoned and asked if they could just text once the day before reminding me. It never stopped; all the texts and asks. 3. When i came to my teeth cleaning, the hygienist was ten min late and her equipment was broken and she asked me to hold it and operate it for her while she cleaned. Then i had to ask for toothbrush, but she was out. There was no floss or paste provided as i was used to my whole life. I tried phoning before next apt. And AI answered and would not let me speak to a human. :-( 4. The next apt with hygienist ,,same thing; late, scattered pre occupied woman; equip not functioning properly and she had a toothbrush only. Bamboo with plastic bristles. 5. The next teeth cleaning apt. It was a temp hired hygienist. She was short, succinct and impersonal. When i asked for a toothbrush she was a bit put off and then rushed out to her next client. No goodbye, didn't know my name, etc. 6. I then, had x-rays, which i got an estimate for, and was told i needed a procedure. The attending dr. (Different than the first) was not clear which teeth and no details were stated in such a way that i could understand. I was given a piece of paper i could not read. She too was succinct and just to the point, impersonal and disconnected from the human connection. (I felt like she was a robot talking to what she thought was a robot. ) 7. Before that, i phoned and asked for an estimate for x rays. I was given an estimate. 8. When i got in i was then told it would cost nothing. They couldn't find nor did they know who gave me the original estimate. Then i was ushered to another back office person and given a large $ estimate. For the next procedure which at this point, did not trust. 9. Meanwhile, the calls n texts and emails never stopped. 10. I came in very nervous to do the procedure based on the care id been given. I expressed that to the person that seated me. She never said, can i get you a glass of water or put your chair back n turn on the tv while i go get someone who can talk to you about your anxiety? no. She left and i never saw her again. 11. Then a different dr than i had seen the first time came in. It was the same expressionless non-concerned woman. She was the one who gave me the sheet of paper instead of an explanation of the sheet which was not readable. She clearly did not have any intention of re-assuring me or listening to me. Instead, the told me how it was and what i could do if i didn't care for it so i got angry at that point. She could not wait to get to her next apt! The business is all about the $. It appears corporate. . They are unorganized and do not listen to their patients needs or concerns. 12. After i left the last time, no one phoned to apologize or ask for feedback for future needs of patients. Sure enough, i found a person dentist that charged $200 instead of $750 for bite guard and turns out i do not have any cavities. They told me i had TWO!!!!! Thank god i trusted my intuition.

The patient experienced minimal discomfort after a quick procedure, and following their precise instructions was back on track within 3-5 days. Thank you Dr Chavez!

I couldn't be more pleased with everything about Dr. Lane's dental office. Everyone who works there…read moreis so pleasant and accommodating. Dr. Lane himself is extremely patient, thorough, and does not rush you into making any decisions before you are completely ready. He explains everything with great detail, and makes sure you thoroughly understand every aspect of the procedure before he begins anything. i've been to many dentists in the past 50+ years, and have definitely had my share of not so professional work done on my teeth. The procedure I chose to have performed at Dr. Lane's office was the largest financial commitment I have ever made re: my teeth, so I wanted to make sure I was making the best decision possible. I could not be more pleased with the results! They have far exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend Dr. Lane to anyone seeking excellent, state of the art dental work.

I went to Alma Dental because I was having significant pain in my lower right molar (#31). During…read moremy visit, x rays were taken and the tooth was tapped, but no hot or cold sensitivity test was performed, even though I reported cold sensitivity. I was referred to an endodontist and charged $210 for the exam and x rays. I chose to see a different endodontist because I was more comfortable with that provider based on their reviews. The endodontist immediately performed a cold test, which clearly showed that tooth was highly sensitive, and diagnosed a crack in the tooth. Based on what I later learned, it sounded like the crack should have been visible on the x rays that were taken. That left me questioning why it wasn't identified during my initial exam and why additional diagnostic testing wasn't done before I was referred. I called Alma Dental afterward hoping to have a respectful conversation and better understand what had happened. Instead, the person I spoke with became argumentative. I explained that I wasn't calling to argue. I simply wanted to discuss my concerns, but the conversation continued in that direction, so I ended the call. I do NOT recommend Dr. Serrano based on my experience. I paid for an exam and x rays, but the issue causing my pain was not identified, important diagnostic testing was not performed, and my concerns were not handled professionally when I called to discuss them. I left feeling that the evaluation did not provide the value I expected and that resolving my concerns was not a priority.
