I relocated to the central coast in 2023 after retiring from the SF Bay area;…read moreI had an excellent dentist there for 20+ and missed her expertise; Due to my new location and new dental plan, I tried 2 other dentists in past 2 years: both were OK, but one practiced solo with (no other dental tech assisting) and the other was referred to me but, but after I visited, I was told the actual work I needed to have done was going to be done by someone else in her practice (who I could find NO information about....) -Another dentist referred to me by some other friends was "in network" with my dental plans, but was not accepting new patients... -THEN (finally).... ANOTHER friend referred me to Bauer Dental; I did a lot of research and was impressed by their website and the technology they utilize in their practice. I set up a consult from their website, got a consultation appointment set up rather quickly, and got to meet with both dentists, Dr. Bauer and Dr. Sivo to discuss a treatment plan. I should note that they are "out of network" for most dental plans, and they did explain the costs of their treatment and options for payment plans. My decision to choose Bauer dental was based on the professionalism I experienced from my initial visit, where I met with the dentist, their office staff, and dental tech, Jose, who performed X-rays and scans. I honestly did not like the options for some of the other "in network" options offered by my dental plan. DENTAL APPOINTMENT SUMMARY: -I just had 3 cavities repaired and a replacement crown put in by Dr. Sivo, and the experience was aabsolutely painless and the work looks and feels great. Dr Sivo, and his dental technician, Alex, explained everything and answered all my questions. They have the technology to make a dental crown in their office (and since I had these types of dental crowns previously, I never wanted to go back to having a temporary crown for 2-3 weeks, and then to having to have a return for the final fitment of the permanent crown). The entire visit, including the buildup and placement of the new crown, took only 2.5 hours. I was not rushed, and neither were they- It just seemed to go that smoothly and efficiently. IN SUMMARY: Frankly, I did probably end up choosing (by FAR) the most expensive option of all the previously offices I mentioned; However, I don't recommend looking for the "cheapest" option when choosing a dentist; I do recommend doing a LOT of research. I have (unfortunately) needed a lot of work done over the decades (I am 65) and I believe in paying for high quality dental care by dentist with extensive education and training. Bauer Dental exceeded my expectations for a high tech dental office They seem to be most advanced dental office I have ever visited, utilizing the latest digital technology and high end equipment, operated by their well-trained team, and I have lived in over a dozen cities around the U.S. If this type of practice appeals to your standards, I do recommend Bauer Dental. Also, They do offer options for different types of flexible payment plans, if needed.

I'm pretty much in shock with the amount of money it cost to have two crowns glued back on…read more I had two crowns that were joined together on my top previously finished implants by a dentist in Fresno and they popped off together. Called Bauer this morning, and while they advertised first visit free, I was charged $340 as it was a last minute appointment. Okay, I needed it done so, I agreed. I brought the teeth with me and after a full evaluation, they said the gluing on would be $690!! What was I to do? I needed the teeth on and while I visibly was shocked, I agreed. Yes, $1030 later, I walked out of there with a future plan and the price but I'm still reeling with what I just paid them!! They sort of grossly overpriced themselves for me to go back. Yes, everyone is really nice and the office is beautiful, but I just wanted the tooth glued back on and I'm so shocked by the charges, I doubt I will have them do further work. Too high of an overhead, too many people working there and I should have listened to my gut instinct on the phone this morning. I have never in my life been gouged like this to have a 10 minute process done, I should've left and bought my own dental glue. Literally, I'm sick to my stomach!!

She exudes a warmth that immediately puts one at ease and this attitude carries over to her staff. From the receptionist to the dental assistants they all make every effort to make the visit a positive experience. My wife suffers from "dental anxiety" and dreads any work, to the point she's neglected necessary procedures. The doctor recognized her fear and prescribed anti anxiety medication for her next visit to help alleviate her fears. She even offered nitrous oxide if needed. An indication of doctor Hayes willingness to go a step beyond was when my wife mentioned she was having an issue with "dry eyes" during her visit and she was provided artificial tears. It was a small issue but it was indicative the care offered at this office.

A twenty year old crown broke off my tooth, oh great. Despite the timing of all this Dr. Hayes was very gracious to get me in for an emergency repair and get me signed up as a regular patient. I was very pleased as she was my first pick of dentists to check out. She was running a lean staff due to the crisis but had me in and fixed up in a jiffy. The office itself has a very comfortable feel to it. Modern equipment but with friendly decor, not the doctor office vibe. Dr. Hayes herself is very friendly and knowledgeable. So nice I almost look forward to coming back for my regular appointment.

I had…read morecompletely forgotten about the appointment because I decided to not return to Dr. Pritchett for the treatment he recommended because, I did not trust his ability to do it, or if I needed it. Also: The X-ray system used was ancient, painful and extremely inefficient. He still has the old system with the cardboard x-ray film, the kind they have to shove into your mouth to get the picture. Very uncomfortable, and it took a long time. I questioned the assistants actual training. Second: When Dr.Pritchett did not directly introduce himself. He mumbled a greeting as he stood out of my sight behind the chair. Third: he started cleaning my teeth with the jet water spray system. This system can be very painful if the Dr. does not know or Care how hard the spray is. I told him, but he said that was the system he used. When I told him to stop he said something like 'I guess I can go back to the old way using tools.' I would not recommend Dr.Pritchett. to any one. After declining to pay the late charge, I reconsidered and I asked if he would settle the late charge for $50.00? He declined stating that $100.00 is the policy. I really object to the charge on the grounds that this fee seems excessive and it was such a poor visit. The leftover taste in my mouth after this appointment was very unpleasant and decisive. It was my mistake to not act on my reaction and a cancel while it was on my mind. Lesson Learned.

From the beginning, everyone has been kind, professional, accommodating, and very thoughtful about insurance, billing, and making sure I understood everything. Today I had dental work done, and it ended up being more involved than expected. Dr. Beres did a beautiful job, and what impressed me even more was that he personally called me later that evening to check on how I was feeling and to make sure I had taken the medication I was supposed to take. That level of care is rare. I am truly impressed and feel very blessed that my whole family gets to be under his care. I highly recommend Dr. Beres and his team.

I was there for a consultation for my son to remove his wisdom teeth. The office has zero parking so not a great start. We sat in the waiting room for 1 HOUR, even after telling them I had to pick up my daughter at the end of the hour. No acknowledgement of me, my son, my time or 'hey, sorry we are backed up today.' After 45 minutes, I was moved to a room with a movie about wisdom teeth removal, which I asked to skip due to time constraints. Then was moved to another room and the doctor walked in and with 2 minutes to spare before I had to leave and the "doctor" said yes he needs the teeth removed and then left. And then they just sent me a bill for $324 for a consultation. WTF?! If a doctor doesn't respect my time, then I can be sure they do not respect my person or my health. Find a new office!
