It was my first time coming to this dental office, which is located in a newer medical building attached to Sharp Hospital. Everything from social distance markings on the elevator floors to the receptionist wearing a mask, made me feel comfortable but I was still nervous as hell. Most people: "I don't like going to the dentist but Me: I have anxiety and a true fear of the dentist and needles, etc, that causes me to be nervous wreck the moment I even think about going, let alone actually sitting in the dentist chair. My ROOT CANAL experience. Dr. Sugita was AMAZING. I usually wear headphones with volume up so I can't hear anything. Dr. Sugita's calm voice and the methodical way he requested the next tool he needed was soothing and actually calmed me down. I'm not exaggerating this, but I DID NOT FEEL A THING! Not even the initial shot of novocaine, not the ones after. I usually feel everything and while the pain isn't much, it's the thought of the needle that gets me. The Doctor and his assistant were efficient and I was done in no time at all. In short, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. SUGITA

Extracted all four of my wisdom teeth here during the Pandemic. Terrible experience that actually…read moreled me to avoid the dentist until this year, as embarrassing as that is to admit. Dr. Stettler did not have good bedside manner with me. He was gruff and sarcastic. Does not like to answer questions. Spoke to me like I was stupid. During my actual surgery, they struggled to put the IV in my arm, leaving me with a lot of bruises on both arms. As I was being put under, it was chaos! No counting down calmly. The doctor was loud, lots of movement, he cut his hand on a sharp tooth of mine and was audibly upset about it. That's not the way someone should go under anesthesia for the first time! The procedure took much longer than expected but they did not provide any updates to my worried wife and mother both waiting in the lobby. When they finally were informed I was freaking out from the anesthesia when I woke up, they refused to let either of them come talk to me despite me begging as I knew it would calm me down. My family was wearing masks (covid) and were calm. There was no reason to refuse our request. When I finally did calm down, I was extremely nauseous. They didn't want to give me zofran and my mom actually had to call later in the day to push for them to prescribe it, as I was vomiting a lot when I got home. They did prescribe it, but it was confusing they didn't just do it to start. I did the follow-up and it was fine. I also would caution potential patients to read the business' response to reviews here. They teeter the line of HIPPA to save face, rather than accepting the feedback and providing more generalized responses to discuss privately. Before they say I wasn't a patient -- my legal name is Christine.

I will say that his dental work was very good, his bedside manor was the worst of anybody I working in the medical or dental care field I have ever seen. If your mouth started to close a little while he was working, instead of just saying "Open", he would jam an instrument into your gum. If your head was not in the perfect position he would jerk it where he wanted. I have never had any dentist come close to doing the crap he pulled. I just assumed he was bitter and was taking it out on his patients. Hopefully he will find some peace in retirement. Thanks for the heads up, not!!!!

I had an extremely troubling experience with Dr. Omidi at Cardinal Dental…read more I was completely upfront with her about my history with dental anesthesia before beginning treatment. I have never been able to get completely numb, but for roughly 30 years I had been able to get through dental procedures with nitrous. Dr. Omidi reassured me that she could manage my situation, including telling me repeatedly, "I can get anyone numb." I trusted her, I followed all of her recommendations, and I expected the treatment to be at least as manageable as they had been in the past. Instead, both procedures were extraordinarily, excruciatingly painful--far beyond anything I had experienced in decades of dental work and a 10 out of 10 on the pain scale. And I don't use that number lightly; I'm a mother who has endured labor and birth. The second procedure was particularly difficult because I went in expecting it to be relatively straightforward, as crown deliveries have typically always been an easy procedure for me, and instead was shocked to experience another severely painful procedure. But, it was the inappropriate and unprofessional way Dr. Omidi treated me afterward that was the real issue. After the first procedure she patronizingly told me: "That hurt me more than it hurt you." And worse, after the second procedure while I was extremely distressed, I was met with an extremely antagonistic interaction. From the moment her hands came out of my mouth and the pain finally began to subside, Dr. Omidi was agitated and spoke to me harshly instead of allowing me a moment to recover from an unexpectedly excruciating procedure. I felt attacked and profoundly uncomfortable, and she ultimately stormed out of the room. After this experience, I will not be returning to Dr. Omidi.

It didn't take long to realize this was a top-notch place. Very modern decor too. Dr. Berkstein is…read morea high level specialist for dental implants and periodontal issues. I was sent here on a referral from my primary dentist. I had a loose implant that was wiggling. When I went for the initial visit, they assumed that I would need the implant totally removed based on the x-rays. This meant removing a titanium screw from my jaw bone. Preparing for hellacious pain. Luckily, when I went in for the surgery/removal, they just had to just tighten up the screw holding the implant after drilling out the top filling! It was a welcome surprise! Yay!!! No pain, and, got to keep the Vicodin prescription...! Most likely will go back to do some gum grafting for another future implant here so we'll see the results of that. We did a CT scan and surprisingly, found an issue with another tooth. Not good news of course. He has the most state-of-the-art equipment and technology here. So far, great professionalism and quality work!

I had lost several front teeth and needed implants, and Dr. Wachtel handled the whole process with such warmth and compassion that it made an overwhelming situation feel manageable. She clearly cared about getting the outcome right -- not just functionally, but in a way that restored my confidence. Dr. Wachtel has since moved on, and the staff from my time there has likely turned over completely -- but what impressed me recently is that the current team was just as wonderful. When I reached out years later needing help obtaining my old records for an ongoing medical case, they were responsive, helpful, and went out of their way to assist me without hesitation. That kind of continuity of care and genuine helpfulness -- even for a patient from years ago with a completely different team -- says a lot about the culture this practice has maintained. Highly recommend.
