I had a really great experience at Aaron Santos DDS office and wanted to share, especially for…read moreanyone with kids who might be a little nervous about appointments. I brought my twins in, and the entire staff was incredibly patient, calm, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. They took the time to explain everything in a way the kids could understand, which made a huge difference. What could have been a stressful visit turned into something smooth and surprisingly easy. Dr. Santos was especially good with them--gentle, attentive, and genuinely engaging, which helped keep them relaxed the whole time. On top of that, I also had a consultation for myself and really appreciated the thorough approach. Instead of just focusing on quick fixes, they laid out a clear, preventative care plan that actually makes sense long-term. It feels like they're focused on keeping problems from happening, not just reacting when they do. The office is clean, well-run, and you can tell they care about doing things the right way. If you're looking for a dentist who is great with kids and also takes a thoughtful, preventative approach to dental health, this is definitely a place worth checking out.

1 star for general incompetence at every turn…read more I was quoted 300 for a dental appliance, and then charged 1,000. After much to do, they eventually honored the original quote. I showed up to receive the appliance, and the assistant appeared with a needle to anesthetize me to fill multiple cavities. I have no cavities, and I had to refuse the shot multiple times before they realized their error. I left the practice and recently emailed to obtain records. After supplying my full name and date of birth, they replied with, "What is your Last name and Date of birth?". It took 11 emails to discover that the dentist who saw me was no longer at the practice, they do not retain records, and to contact him. They sent a long winded excuse, part of which reads: "His office has a new contact number and email address that we do not have on file. We recommend that you search for Dr. Ortega's current practice and contact his office directly to obtain the most up-to-date email address." I googled it, and his new office is...in the same building as White Oaks Dental. It's hilarious that they go out of their way to be unhelpful. If you are looking for a way to test your patience and add stress to your life, dealing with White Oaks Dental may be for you!

The Unquestionable Tooth…read more I'd been searching for a new dentist for a few years before being referred here by my gf, Carissa, last year. I normally prefer a smaller mom-&-pop type office instead of a dental mill, but this place kinda falls smack dab in the middle of both. The Good: *Dr Cho (the only dentist I've dealt with) is terrific; personable, affable, and tells you exactly what's going on and why. *The entire staff from receptionists to the nurses are all very friendly and can all take a joke. *They accept most insurances, as Carissa and I both have different types of insurance (Delta & Tricare). *They seem to be a one-stop shop for all dental procedures, according to their website. *They figure out your co-pay, and you pay at the end of your visit; no stupid bills in the mail to deal with. *They're very prompt, respect your time, and get you in and out very quickly. *Text reminders, and they will also text you if they have questions or issues that arise, which I prefer. Phone calls are giant PiTa, especially if you end up paying phone tag. The Meh: *They are *not* a Delta Premiere Dentist, so if you have Delta Dental PPO insurance, then expect to have a co-pay. *Not open on weekends *Maybe I misunderstood, but when I was trying to make an apt recently, I could've sworn the receptionist said they're not open on Fridays? However, their website, Yelp and Google, all show them to be open from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m., so not I'm not exactly sure what that's about. *If you need a 2nd or 3rd visit, then they'll have to be a few weeks apart as apts are hard to come by. The Ugly: *Parking can be a bit of a nightmare at times, as their shared lot is almost always packed and lacks any shade. Street parking, however, does have some shade but can also be hard to come by. So, make sure you give yourself a few minutes before your appointment to find parking. TLDR: Great dental office that makes one of life's annoyances tolerable.

I truly don't have the words to thank Dr. Lazaar for her incredible work…read more In less than six months, she accomplished what no other dentist had been able to do in years. With remarkable knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine artistry, she identified exactly what had always bothered me about my smile. She created a thoughtful treatment plan and delivered precisely what I had been hoping for: a smile that still feels like me, completely natural and true to my personality, but infinitely more beautiful. She gave me back the confidence to smile in photos and restored my self-esteem. I couldn't be more grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lazaar to anyone looking for a dentist who is not only exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable, but also truly committed to achieving the best possible outcome for each patient.

Then a friend told me about Dr. Berg and how kind and gentle she was, so I made an appointment with her. Not only did Dr. Berg turn out to be a really great dentist, she was also so calm and caring that I was no longer anxious in the dentist chair! That was such a big deal for me. These days I actually look forward to my appointments, and my teeth and gums are so healthy. They are actually in better shape than they were ten years ago (and I'm no spring chicken!). I am always recommending Dr. Berg to friends, and I especially recommend her to people who tell me they are anxious dental patients. I believe she is the best.

The dental work he did for me was top notch. I was always grateful to him for his none-charge expensive dental work, (3) three unit bridges that I wore and kept through the years until recently. Thirty or thirty five years of wear is amazing. Because his amazing dental skills and how he taught me as his dental assistant I'm able to identify a good dentist from a mediocre one and it has been very hard through my life no matter where I am to find a dentist with the same qualities in the dental art and functionality as his. We have lost touch through the years but he is never forgotten. I love him dearly. Soky (used to be Wisehart) now Widowed (Vondett)

But with your practice, I feel a sense of relief that I can do anything when and if it comes to anything dentistry related. You really make me feel like I can accomplish things that I avoid due to my anxiety. I really appreciate the whole team so much. Dr. Dierks and Dr. Kamaradian are the dream team! Is it weird now that I look forward going to the dentist? I highly highly recommend anyone who has the least sense of anxiety when it comes to dental work. They make you feel like you're at home, and they sincerely care about all your needs. Just Go! Get that root canal, crown replacement, or whatever you need done! They will absolutely take care of you!

It's basically spotless and the staff infection prevention practices are on point (I'm a nurse so always look for this ). Love this dental practice!!

I went to Miss Herrera for 8 fillings in my teeth for cavities. I had no sensitivity, no pain on…read moreany of my tooth prior to the fillings. After the fillings, I started experiencing excruciating pain in my completely normal teeth. The pain was so bad that I was unable to eat, crying every day and surviving on ibuprofen. I went back to her twice to get that addressed. And all she did was gaslight me into believing that a previously asymptomatic tooth which had no cavities has "something going on with the root" and referred me to a root canal specialist. I went back again, reasoning with her and begging her to look at the fillings and adjust them. She reluctantly adjusted one filling but that did not fix it. Continued gaslighting me into doing root canals for another tooth with cavities saying things like "it's a ticking time bomb" Well, turns out I was right, I was able to find a competent dentist, who identified that the bite had shifted due to the fillings sitting too high causing too much pressure on the front tooth and making it painful. It took a total of 5 minutes and voila, my pain was gone, the pressure I was feeling was gone! I spent my vacation eating nothing at all because Miss Herrera could not listen to her patient and try to solve the problem but continued to recommend more procedures.

Sheryl is very responsive over email and always sends reminders so you don't forget your appointment. The office is always clean and comfortable.
