So,…read morewhat better establishment to highlight than the Dental office that I have been going to for nearly a decade? Mission Blvd Dental is terrific. Dr. Noris is attentive and professional. Dr. DeMeyer is also great! All of the hygienists are wonderful... special shout-out to Alexis who took care of me today. She's efficient, gentle, and very entertaining. I don't remember laughing this much in a dentist's office in a long time. She also does an excellent job, too, and I appreciate her skill! I'm fortunate because I've only had to go to this office for regular cleanings and I haven't needed anything serious done to my teeth, but in the future, if I do, I'll trust that they will take care of me fairly. I also have insurance that makes my visits reasonably priced. I'm thankful that they accept it.

Dr. DeMeyer has taken care of me and my entire family for decades, and the consistency, integrity, and quality of care have always been exceptional. He's skilled, thorough, honest, and never pushy -- you feel like he truly puts patients first. The staff is also wonderful: friendly, professional, and makes every visit easy and comfortable. If you're looking for a dentist you can trust long-term, I highly recommend this office.

I was particularly nervous about swing a dentist during Covid-19 but Dr. Davis was so assuring about how Dentist always take great safety precautions, and that the office is taking Covid 19 precautions seriously. Dr. Davis was really friendly and the cleaning was thorough but never hurt. Truly a great experience we're glad we found such a great local dentist- it was easy to get street parking and a morning appointment.

    The only way I could be less satisfied is if I did the work myself and left it half finished. The…read moreprices seem high especially since the dentist only comes in and finishes the work that the dental hygientist perform. I had two crowns replaced and a cavity filled. The dentist did the shots and drilling and the final cementing, but otherwise it was I think a dental hygientist did everything else. Also, I felt like I was in Mexico as there was more spanish spoken than english. Also, there was a typical bait and switch. I had complete xrays taken and was told that I needed 2 crowns replaced. At the end of the replacement ( several weeks later), they took final xrays and low and behold, I know need another crown replaced. Why wasn't it seen in the first xray. One thing that they are really good at is reminding you when your next appointment is. I received at least one email, text and phone call every day prior to the procedure for about a week. I guess they really need the money.

    I was genuinely excited to try this dental office as a new patient. I chose them based on a…read morepositive referral and confirmation that they accept my insurance. I provided my insurance information when booking the appointment a day in advance and even canceled procedures at my current dentist to make the switch. The day of the appointment, while I was already in the chair at my other dentist, I got a call saying my insurance showed me as uninsured. I immediately called back, explained I'd just reinstated coverage, and asked them to re-verify with the carrier. I missed a follow-up call and returned it right away. After being transferred, I spoke with Diane in billing (who said she's the only one handling it). Despite the appointment being under two hours away and my repeated request for a quick re-verification, she was short, unhelpful, and refused to make the call. She simply canceled the appointment without offering to reschedule, apologize, or explore options even when I said I'd pay out-of-pocket if needed. This left me disappointed and frustrated. I was looking forward to building a relationship here, but the dismissive handling of a straightforward insurance issue made me feel unwelcome. After seeing similar complaints about billing, front-office communication, and customer service in other reviews, I'm not surprised. Advice for potential patients: Verify insurance coverage multiple times well in advance and be prepared for possible administrative hurdles. The clinical side might be solid, but the billing and scheduling processes need better training and responsiveness. I won't be rescheduling or recommending this practice.

    I wouldn't come with such a low rating but this is based on two bad experiences. Both are from…read moreunorganized, unprofessional, seemingly incompetent staff. Both times huge miscommunications on the staff ends. Which could have been clarified if they were better at customer service. No references made. Having the patient believe services could be completed that would have to be completed at other locations. The second time going to get a filling repaired which didn't last more than 6 months. Phone calls were made prior to make sure this would be covered and could be completed day of appointment. It wasn't until my fiancé is sitting in chair that they say they can't do it. Wild. Please do better. Edited to add based on owners comment- As listed in my review my fiancé is the patient and I was involved and at the office for the first appointment; therefore experiencing this poor customer service myself even though I wasn't a patient so I am able to express my opinion and he told me about the second. If you read the review you can see my point of view. My review is based on my experience and how it affected my family which makes it valid. This is 100% the correct office and I do not recommend anyone going there which is why it was very important this review was written. Thank you.

    Heading into the holidays I threw out a filling. I called…read moreand spoke to Dr. Parmar and she said I should come in and she had time in a few hours. Because the tooth was a molar and tender I went in. She looked at it and gave me some mouthwash and called CVS and ordered me an antibiotic then we discussed my options. She explained I had an old filling that had failed and allowed the cavity to come back and is causing a gum infection. She described a plan of action to remove and replace the filling that had deteriorated then treat any gum infection with antibiotic injected under the gum. She did a fabulous job. Her touch is very gentle and her hands are tiny and she is extremely dexterous. When completed we discussed my followup care and scheduled an appointment 1 week out. The office is a very present environment and all the staff are polite and friendly. I bring my whole family here and highly recommend both Dr Avani Parmar and Dr. Nirmal Shah without reservation. If there were six Stars I'd give them 10.
