    Two weeks after the procedure was done. Should've been healed by then.

    Got my wisdom teeth removed, they fractured my jaw and dislocated it They only prescribe me ibuprofen, and I actually gotten an argument with the lady at the front desk writing the prescriptions (only the doctor supposed to prescribe medicine) saying that it's normal and I'll be fine. Had to go to the ER three times after that, my face was swollen beyond belief Finally got an appointment with a different doctor at the same location and they told me I would have to go to physical therapy after my mouth heals. I was in pain for weeks after and it seemed like they didn't care at all. My face was so swollen no one in my family recognized who I was until I told them it was me I was under anesthesia and not even 30 seconds after the procedure was done and I walked myself out of that building almost falling over, no one escorted me out to make sure I was OK after being put under and as soon as I opened my eyes, the doctor was gone. Completely unprofessional, and when I called them to see if they could prescribe anything for the pain, the lady laughed and hung up on me.

    About 6 months ago I went to a dental office which did X-rays, cleaning and full first patient exam in under 25 minutes with no follow up visit scheduled and perfect bill of health. At Golden State Smile, I had a completely different experience with Dr. Elisa who wasn't simply addressing my mouth, but each tooth individually, front and back. She then retraced her steps and measured each one which allowed her to order deep cleaning for my teeth which is covered by my insurance since there were findings to warrant it. At the other place, I had no cavities and no problems after an extremely quick exam while here, after a very thorough exam, I ended up needing deep cleaning and filling of 3 cavities. The way she spoke made me feel like I was an individual she cared for rather than just a number; it could have been her subtle Colombian accent, but whatever it was, I was extremely happy and confident that I've finally found a highly knowledgeable and caring doctor who wants to see me have a bright beautiful smile full of teeth for a long time. Oh and I read some of the other reviews with people complaining about the doctor's here finding issues which others couldn't, and all I could say is that I would rather have a smaller issue fixed today before I have to face a bigger issue down the line because I prefer a true bill of health over a false clean bill of health.

    This review is long overdue, but I wanted to pay it forward since I found Dr. Stein through Yelp in…read morethe first place. I honestly can't say enough good things about him, and the entire staff there is just as amazing. After a previous dentist talked me into an unnecessary root canal, I walked into Dr. Stein's office guarded and half-expecting to be let down again. Instead, I got the opposite. I was convinced I had a cavity from a bad toothache, and he could easily have just gone along with it. Instead he told me the truth. I was just clenching my jaw in my sleep. No unnecessary work, no upsell, just an honest answer. That kind of integrity completely restored my faith in going to the dentist. My family and I have since moved out of state, and it's been a rude awakening. I've already had a bad experience with a new dentist, and my husband and I still talk about how much we miss Dr. Stein's office. If you're local, consider yourself lucky because practices like this are hard to come by!

I usually have a good oral hygiene A+ results following all their recommendations. In the past, I would be stressed out, going to the dentist stemming from my horrible childhood experiences and would white knuckle the armrest and have jaw stress. At times I would require gas to calm me. Not anymore! Dr Stein and staff makes you feel very comfortable and at ease. I look forward to my twice yearly visits.

    My husband found this place because we moved to the area and needed a dentist closeby…read more I had a very disappointing experience at this dental office. From the start, it felt like they were pushing unnecessary treatment. I was told I needed a "deep cleaning," which is typically only recommended for patients with gum disease but my teeth and gums are healthy. The cleaning itself was done by a hygienist and it was extremely painful and caused bleeding. It felt overly aggressive, like my gums were being stabbed rather than properly cleaned. What made the experience worse was that the actual dentist barely saw me, literally just came in for a couple of seconds to say hello and then left. There was no proper evaluation or explanation. After the appointment, I was told that my teeth weren't even fully cleaned and that I would need to come back, be numbed, and finish the cleaning later. So essentially, I went through a painful experience and still didn't receive a proper cleaning. I was also left with a pretty sore and sensitive gum that is still recovering days later. To make things more concerning, they recommended the same deep cleaning to my husband, who also has healthy teeth. It honestly feels like this is being pushed on everyone regardless of actual need. I would strongly recommend getting a second opinion before agreeing to any treatment here!

Dr. Jain stands out for being both highly knowledgeable and genuinely thoughtful. I had a number of questions about more advanced dental procedures I was considering at the time, and she took the time to walk through my options in a way that felt thorough, honest, and never rushed. That level of attentiveness made it much easier to make informed decisions about my care. Michelle, the hygienist, was also excellent. She was consistently gentle, detail-oriented, and made cleanings feel comfortable rather than stressful. You can tell she really cares about both the quality of her work and the patient experience. What left the strongest impression overall was how patient-focused the entire practice felt. From clear communication to a supportive, welcoming environment, it never felt transactional- they genuinely care about doing what's best for you long-term. It's also clear they handle a wide range of care, from routine cleanings to more advanced procedures, which makes them a great option for individuals or families looking for continuity in one place. The only downside for me was the location- it's over an hour away now from where I live - but if I were closer, I would absolutely still be going there.
