Like some other reviewers my husband and I were 25+ year patients of Dr. Weber. Loved him. And assumed he would hand off his practice to someone with similar values. In April 2018 Dr. Cardenas did a crown on one of my molars. It was never right. I still had heightened sensitivity/pain with cold liquids. Six weeks later he tried to "fix" it by putting bonding around the base of the crown. It worked for a while, but now 4 years later, because of that bad crown the nerve is irreversibly damaged and I must have the tooth extracted; root canal is not an option. Many hours of pain and many dollars later, I cannot recommend Dr. Cardenas. read more

I had been seeing Dr. Weber for many years before Hernan Cardenas purchased his practice. Upon my first visit under his new ownership it became obvious Hernan is the type of dentist to push unnecessary treatments upon his patients. One of the first things he did was ask if I have sleep apnea. He said he sold sleep apnea devices and it would be good for me. I do not have sleep apnea and why would he suggest it? Then he went on about the need for me to have multiple crowns performed. I told him that Dr. Weber had been monitoring and if there was no pain then there was not a need to have them done. He continued to insist and it became obvious to me that he needed to create cashflow to pay for his new practice he had just purchased. Further to that my two daughters were also patients and had similar experiences. We all ended up leaving and going to a new dentist. Please do yourself a favor and steer clear of Hernan Cardenas. His primary goal is to generate revenue by generating as many procedures as possible. Necessary or not. It is difficult enough having to have your teeth worked on let alone having unnecessary procedures forced upon you. I have found a new dental practice through my insurance portal and they are wonderful. read more

I would highly recommend this dental office! The moment you walk in the door they make you feel welcomed.

I grew up hating the dentist, and because of that, I really neglected my teeth. Over the last year I've gotten several teeth fixed, deep cleanings and just regular check ups. I always have a great experience. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The office is always super clean and I never have to wait, they always run on time. read more

Former long-time (30 year) Walter Weber patient. When Dr. Cardenas took over, he immediately recommended several crowns although previous checkups with Dr. Weber had made no such recommendation. Wanted to accelerate periodic cleanings. Got impression he was all about the money. Did one crown with him and it's never been quite right so switched to another practice. Now Dr. Cardenas has purchased that practice as well so I'm looking for a new dentist again. read more

I have been coming here for many years. Fun and professional staff. They always go above and beyond for their clients.

My son and I have been patients of Dr Weber for years and when he retired we were so sad to see him go, but he has a great practice and his retirement was well deserved. We decided to continue coming to this location because we assumed that Dr Cardenas would hold the same value for his clients that Dr Weber did. Never have I been constantly pushed to see a dentist every 3 months with a range of added expenses of things that need to be done. Today I called to reschedule my appt because work is priority and we all have work commitments to handle because that is how we are able to pay for these outrageously priced dentist visits in the first place. Jennifer who I spoke with proceeds to tell me that there is no availability till next year but when I wouldn't budge on canceling my appt she proceeded to throw out various opening days? I thought nothing was open? Then she proceeds to make me feel cornered saying I need to make an appointment. First there is no I need to do anything that makes me feel uncomfortable. I ask her is this a teeth cleaning and that it should be 6 months out she proceeds to say that no it should be 3 months out and that it isn't for a cleaning but for some work I agreed to and I had to correct her, I said on work that I said I would think about and would contact them when I would be able to do so. As a single mother who has trusted this office when Dr Weber was the dentist here I am appalled by the behavior that this office has displayed. The customer service here comes last on the list to them making money. It is unfortunate that people work hard and have to waste hard earned money on a dentistry establishment like this that clearly shows how they feel about building and maintaining relationships. I wouldn't highly recommend this place to re establish their morals and values and highly advise others looking for a great dentist to not look here. read more

Hands down, the BEST dental experience I have had! Having a fear of dental work for many years, Dr. Cardenas and his team made me feel very welcome, comfortable, and relaxed. I highly recommend him for anyone that is nervous about going to the dentist or who is just looking for a team that truly cares about their patients. read more

Dr. Cardenas and staff are the nicest and most capable group of dentists and hygienists I have ever had the pleasure of seeing for my dental care. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking dental services read more

My husband and I were both patients of the dentist who owned this practice before, Dr. Weber. We weren't crazy about him but had no complaints, so when he retired and Dr. Cardenas took over, we thought we would try Dr. Cardenas for simplicity's sake. Unfortunately, we are both unhappy with the doctor and I also had a negative experience with a new dental assistant who I believe started working in the practice when Dr. Weber retired. I will go into some detail below, but just wanted to give a highlight in this first paragraph for those who don't feel like reading my whole review. I'll try to make this as brief as possible. Under Dr. Weber, the assistant who always cleaned my teeth was a very friendly and gentle lady who has an Eastern European accent. For my first appointment with Dr. Cardenas, a new assistant did my cleaning. I remember that she had long, dark hair and I believe she was either Asian or Latina. She was friendly as well, but did not listen very well-I repeatedly told her that I would prefer that she do the cleaning by hand but she used some kind of ultrasonic machine to do part of the cleaning. She was also very rough and although tears were streaming out of my eyes at some points, she just said sorry and kept up the same amount of pressure. My gums were sore for three days afterward, which had never happened before. Dr. Cardenas introduced himself and checked my teeth after the cleaning. He used some kind of fancy camera to show me my very back molars and showed me some crevices back there that I hadn't known I had. Without consulting any x-rays, he told me that my fillings were getting loose and that those grooves were new cavities, so I would need two crowns. I was completely shocked and felt very numb when I was handed an estimate for the cost of the crowns...about $2000 in out-of-pocket cost. I told them that I would think about when to schedule the crowns and went home feeling very upset and worried. As I was leaving the office, I saw at least one other patient receive a similar estimate, which seemed a bit odd to me. But it wasn't until my husband went to Dr Cardenas a week or two later and was also told that he needed two crowns that I started to feel seriously suspicious. He had already made an appointment right after his cleaning to have the procedure done, but I encouraged him to get a second opinion. He visited the dentist we used to see in our old neighborhood and she confirmed that he did not in fact have any cavities or need any crowns. He immediately cancelled his appointment with Dr. Cardenas and I made an appointment to have her check my teeth as well. After reviewing my x-rays and doing a thorough exam, she found that I also was cavity-free and that the "cavities" that he pointed out in my teeth were in fact just grooves that have likely always been present in my teeth but had gone unnoticed. We were so relieved to not have gone through a lot of pain and expense for nothing. I would highly encourage other patients of Dr. Cardenas to get additional opinions if they have any doubt about the procedures being recommended to them. read more

Dr Cardenas is amazing! I had a few fillings to do and I was nervous about my bite as I have had a bad experience with a prior dentist. Following my treatment with Dr Cardenas, I did not have sensitivity and my filling feels great. He is a very patient, caring and skilled doctor. I've recommended my friends to go see him and they loved him! His staff are very courteous and vibrant. I will continue to bring my family and friends in. I've never met a dentist as caring and compassionate as Dr Cardenas. read more

After speaking with Jennifer today at the office she told me that there would be no charges and that she was voided the payment I sent in. I am satisfied with the result read more

I was a patient of Dr. Weber, since the age of 5 -- I was selfishly disappointed when he retired :-) . However, Dr. Cardenas is an awesome Dentist... He is very professional, organized , clean and straightforward of what needs to be done... I now live in Milpitas but I'm more comfortable coming to this dental office than the ones close by . I highly recommend Dr. Cardenas to my friends and family ! If you have ever had a dental emergency , you know how important it is to have a dentist that goes the extra mile :-) read more

Great experience once again. Honest. Detailed. Knowledgeable. Professional.

Definitely a great Dental experience! I had a deep cleaning and a few fillings done and it was a relaxing experience. Doctors Cardenas made sure I was perfectly numb so I wouldn't feel any pain, checking in step by step with how I was doing. I was also given a headset to listen to some relaxing music while the treatment was being done. He explained every detail as a new patient and the treatment plan moving forward. Apart from doing amazing work, the staff is extremely attentive in making sure you're comfortable during your visit. Couldn't have asked for a better dental experience, thank you so much to the entire staff! read more

I recently switched dentists to a location closer to home. I couldn't be happier with my decision in selecting Dr. Cardenas. He is knowledgeable, thorough, gentle, professional, and trustworthy. He gave an honest assessment of recommended work from my prior dentist and provided preventive information. Everyone in the office is friendly and welcoming. They made the process to transfer my records and get set up a breeze. By the time I went in for my new patient exam my insurance was verified and they knew exactly what I was due for, per my insurance. His assistant, Erika, is nice and the x-rays were quick and painless. My hygienist, Leslie, is awesome! 17+years experience and it showed. I was in and out of there in less than an hour and my teeth felt so fresh and clean. read more

After not having any cavities for years, I noticed a few areas of concern in my mouth, so I made an appointment with Dr. Cardenas. Unfortunately, my suspicions were confirmed and I needed several fillings and a crown. Dr. Cardenas showed me on the X-rays and intraoral photos what was going on. He explained everything very well, took his time making me comfortable and numbed me up in a very gentle manner! The procedure went by quickly, especially since I was getting a massage from his state of the art chair and custom head phones to play my favorite music! I would highly recommend this doctor for any dental concerns read more

I appreciate the office staff and Dr. Cardenas. Everyone is friendly and professional. I have one regretful problem... I lost my bag of pistachios ): somewhere outside when leaving the office, but I truly appreciate the gesture. (: read more

I utilized Dr. Cardenas for a new patient consult. His front desk receptionist was very nice and made great small talk. His dental hygienist Alicia, was very sweet and checked-in on me. The dentist was very thorough, took a conservative approach, and as a second opinion save me $1000 by doing what was needed rather than just a crown. To boot, two days after my filling the dental hygienist called and checked in on me, customer service is key. I will return to this practice! read more

Hands down the best dentist I have ever been to!! Thank you Dr. Cardenas for making my fear of the dentist disappear!! Oh and of course for the great dental work you performed on me. Zero Pain and can now eat on both sides of my mouth!! read more

I was very impressed by the attention received by Dr. Cardenas. He spent adequate time with me reviewing my treatment plan and making sure all of my questions were answered. He even came back around a couple times to see if I had any additional questions, and Dr. Cardenas even came by to introduce himself. For just my first visit, I can say that I feel confident in this dentist and will definitely be returning! read more

Dr. Cardenas, Hygienist Irene, and the Staff are an amazing group of people. Everyone there is personable, professional, and extremely welcoming. I am comfortable every time I visit, and look forward to my future visits. read more

Yesterday, I called the office 5 minutes before closing to schedule a somewhat unexpected, semi emergency appointment for the next day. I was having surgery the following week and apparently a toothache doesn't do well with surgery - could be lethal. The receptionist, Marissa, was very patient with me and didn't act like I was impositioning her in any way by making her stay late to help me. She spoke with the Dr. Cardinas and they made arrangements to squeeze me in at 8 AM the next morning. All 4 of the gals I came in contact with were lovely - Marissa, Melinda, Elise, and Evey ( ?) - All very friendly, helpful and fun to talk with. They made me feel all kinds of welcome even though my procrastination put them in a tight position scheduling wise. So thank you Dr. C and your terrific staff for making my day better, not worse while at the dentist. I will be back. read more
