I've been a patient for 25 years and their staff performance has gone downhill…read more Pros: They don't try to do unnecessary work The dentist seems highly skilled, gentle and keeps up with new technology/treatments Free ample parking Cons: The last time I went for a cleaning/checkup the office staff was somewhat disorganized and slow. First of all I had to wait quite awhile to be seen and that used to be pretty rare. They couldn't find my dental and health records including meds I take and they had them. I had seen another dentist 6 months earlier who had sent over their records and Schara Dentistry wanted me to contact the other dentist to get gum measurements so I was all ready to do that (to my surprise) and right before I walked out the door they found them. They also told me I was going to have to pay out of pocket for the cleaning because my insurance only covered the 2 cleanings I had during the year (which is fine) but they were going to let me leave without paying until I mentioned it and then they insisted that I pay immediately. The person who checked me out was very slow and wasted a lot of time and didn't communicate with me so I was just standing there waiting and waiting, wondering what was going on. The new hygienist made me hold the suction hose through the whole cleaning which I've never had to do at any dentist before. They normally just hook it over the edge of your mouth and let it hang -- it was odd. Aside from the standard lecture that I don't brush properly she was fine.

I cannot say enough good things about Schara Dentistry! I had the same dentist for 25 years- and…read moreafter he retired I had a couple bad experiences and stopped going to the dentist completely. By the time I was referred to Dr. Schara, I was in bad shape (and learned that I don't handle tooth pain very well). From the first time I saw him, and every time since, both him and his entire staff has been wonderful- even though I am sure I am not the easiest patient to deal with. They have always managed to calm my nerves and keep me distracted from "the task at hand." I have never once encountered an unpleasant person in either office. Ashley and Deb both go above and beyond when I'm in the chair and Carmen is super helpful when it comes to questions and appointment scheduling. Truly- I thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

Everyone who works here is welcoming and friendly. They make sure you are comfortable and give advice in a way that does not seem condescending. I had an stress-free experience getting cavities filled last year by Dr navarro, he is attentive to all patient concerns and answering questions. He made sure it was as painless as possible. Dental hygienist Michelle is especially wonderful every time as well, she is always kind and compassionate, and takes care to make sure patients feel comfortable and safe. Her work is truly appreciated and makes a huge difference for a person with dentist anxiety. As someone with 6 oral piercings, i was used to judgment from dentists, but here my questions are answered with helpful information and without judgment. i highly recommend this location for anyone who struggles with dental anxiety due to fear of judgment or sensory issues !!

She said if I continued having pain to return in a couple of months. It was clear that same day that the problem was not resolved. I didn't want to wait a couple months so I found a different dentist. He made 4 adjustments over the period of a year, and I continued to have pain. Finally, he said he needed to remove the crown to see what was going on. It turned out that Dr. Franco had left decay under the crown. The tooth was very irritated so he put a temporary on with the hope it would quiet down. It did not. Ultimately, he had to pull it. I wrote to Dr Franco and asked her to return the money that I had paid for the crown, and to pay to replace the tooth. She returned the money for the crown, but she did not pay to replace the tooth. The letter she sent with the refund said "as a courtesy" she was refunding the money. No apology, no acknowledgment of the decay she left under the crown, and no acknowledgment that I lost the tooth.

One of my last appointments, my husband was running late so I had to bring our 1 year old son with because there was no way I was missing my appointment that I had, had for 2 months. Well, the front desk ladies immediately took him and brought him to hangout with them while I got started with my appointment. I seriously couldn't thank them all enough.

Second time come back keep try to sell stuff like saying I need a crown when really filling will do the work. Third time come back to get cavity done she schedule for cleaning instead. I feel like the dentist will only be nice if she can make money out of you. Previous dentist was great sadly he retired! I would not recommend this place . The only reason why they still in business because of great hygienist. Oh by the way thank you for sending me a bill for 50$ miss appointment when I told you advance that I'm not coming in as you schedule me for a cleaning when I ask for a filling. Extremely bad business and unethical practices !

Jodi on the front desk staff has been rude, cold, and passive aggressive. Jodi gets very defensive and blunt when I would verify my billing questions with her. The billing situation is bad, they add credit card fees, steep no show fees inside of 48 hours, and don't work with you on bills. Jodi is always incredibly passive aggressive that I did not partake in their text reminders, because when I did I was bombarded with text blasts. I strongly suggest that anyone who goes here double check every line of their bill. When I asked to speak directly with the dentist about my concerns, Jodi brushed me off and refused to connect me, which made the whole experience even more frustrating. With a standing disagreement on one bill, and the inability to speak directly to the owner of the business, they dropped me as a patient within less than a month of being seen. Also if you're a parent you should know they take pictures of all the kids that go to their practice and post them for anybody to see, I feel as though that is not a safe practice for the local neighborhood. The whole experience still leaves me feeling taken advantage of and completely disrespected. I would never recommend this place to anyone if they have to talk to Jodi. If you care about being treated decently and not getting nickel and dimed for everything, stay away from Brimhall Dentistry.
