I've always had a fear of dentistry since my childhood experience getting dental work done. I get…read moreanxiety when i think about having to get numbed up. When i got to this office, everything changed for me. Dr Franklin is an expert on what he does. He is gentle when it comes to numbing and he is efficient in his work. His hygienist love what they do and do a great job with making the patients feel comfortable. The ladies that work up front are awesome! They are always cheerful and do what they can to accommodate you when life comes up. They will call to check on you after work is done. The vibe is very patient focused. It started with just me as a patient. Now my whole family comes to this office. My kid even mentioned how painless the process was. If you're lucky enough to get in, you will see what i mean.

At first, I thought this would be a great dental office -- the staff was friendly, and the dentist…read moreseemed nice but a bit standoffish. I came here because I have major anxiety about the dentist and was referred by one of my own patients, hoping for understanding and care. Later, when I called because I was in serious pain, he prescribed Motrin, which I already take. When I explained that, he said he couldn't prescribe anything stronger because he wasn't sure how it would interact with Trazodone -- a medication I clearly listed in my chart as one I'm allergic to. That was a huge red flag showing he hadn't even read my chart. Instead of admitting his mistake, he became dismissive and made me feel like I was seeking drugs instead of real pain relief. I was made to feel beneath the people he normally serves -- even though I work just as hard as anyone else and have excellent insurance. I don't understand why I had to be treated differently. I'm not saying don't go here -- maybe he treats others better -- but my experience was unprofessional, disappointing, and left me feeling disrespected.

Dr. Payne listened very closely and addressed all of my concerns while taking into consideration my medical history. I was able to get in for the extraction 2 weeks later (1/19). I'm not even 48 hours post extraction and I have not had any pain, and very minimal swelling and discomfort (manageable with ibuprofen/Tylenol). Dr. Payne called me the evening of the procedure to check in on me. I had a terrible previous experience with an oral surgeon in Elk Grove with my bottom wisdom teeth, so I was not expecting such a smooth and easy recovery. I am so happy I went through with it and that I was recommended to Dr. Payne.

It's very nice having an intelligent professional not be condescending. I know we all have dealt with those. He also has some insane shot giving skills, I'm willing to call him an artist. Bonus points, if you listen to Radio Lab on NPR he vaguely sounds sounds like Jad Abumrad, which I find very soothing. All the other professionals in the office are some of the most genuinely kind people I've met, everyone on staff is thoughtful, thorough, and attentive. Going to the dentist has not suddenly become fun, but it is very easy to show up to this office for appointments(catching up on a decade of neglect). I have so much appreciation for them and mostly their putting up with me.

Not sure if it the ADHD or just in general I'm a figgety person but also don't like my mouth being worth on. Very sensitive teeth. Anyways that out of the way, the front desk was super nice. The lobby was decent size not cramped, just right and some photos on the way. I had a slight wait from my appointment time. It wasn't much, but a staff member kept me up to date on time frame. Like 15 or 10 mins. I mean it wasn't bad. Now let's get to the dentist, * Pratik Makadia* , super nice guy, laid back, not to judgemental , just enough to help me get motivated to take care of my teeth better, but a super nice easy way of doing it. Highly recommend him if you do go. Now the visit itself, scared and crawling out of my skin. But the staff was super nice and friendly, and quick about things. They had a lot of cool tech stuff the when I was a kid well, never was around , and the tech just wasn't there. I'm in my 40s just fyi. The lady at the end of my visit went over all my bad teeth and costs, ouch. lol. But I knew I haven't been to the dentist in soooo long. But anyways, I really recommend you trying this place out. Not sure why it has a 3 ish star rating. So far I think they are very friendly, quick with their work but not crazy fast there in a hurry. Try them out, get that exam done. I go back next week for a cleaning.

Mary, the dental hygentist, is amazing. She makes the appointment go by fast and my teeth are sparkling when I leave.

I had struggled…read morewith anxiety all my life and the fear I had to dentists prevented me from going on a regular base. This 5 star review is only because Dr. Ung is amazing. Carolina and Monse, the assistants who assisted her on my treatments, are amazing. Her Hygienist is a great guy that chats with you and makes you feel welcome and comfortable. As for the front desk crew, my experience was negative and full of lies. For my first visit on May 12th, 2021 Dr. Ung knew my fear and anxiety and prescribed me a medication to help me be calm. Even do her front desk lady, not Jessica but the other one, said she had sent the prescription to Target, it was not available. I got there super anxious and worried but Dr. Ung and Monse were amazing! Of course I was able to get the medication after my appointment when it was finally sent to target pharmacy. De.Ung, Carolina, Monse and the hygienist are super professional and I personally would love to continue my and my family's treatment there. Unfortunately my negative experience with the front office lady is just too much. I never got a response on what my two insurance coverage would be, what my copayment were going to be ahead of time because, she always claims she had not received a response from the insurance. Not even for my youngest son fillings we got the co-pay amount ahead of time.. aren't dentist offices supposed to give you some information or an estimate right there on your first 2 visits? I mean, what if I don't have the $ to pay for a filling.. just because I have signed documents stating I'm responsible for any financial portion my insurance won't cover, it doesn't mean I have to go in blindly without knowing if I will be able to afford the procedure! Same thing happened when one of my sons needed the pre-authorization for his braces..I had to call my insurance and get them the documents they needed because this lady had not submitted things according... it seemed she had no interest in getting a patient the braces he needed! In my case, I'm still waiting for the actual numbers. I only got estimates from her... and that was on my last visit when I couldn't get my tooth prepped for a crown..since I had no idea what the insurance would cover and what my cost would be..she came in with an estimate of cost after having weeks to request and submit what the insurance needed, I still had nothing. After months, she still "couldn't" obtain a response from my insurance. Funny thing is, that while at the office on my last visit, while waiting for my you youngest son, I called the insurance, they told me they were missing several documents, they had pending claims due to lack of documentation and gave me a list of documents needed. I gave the list to this lady and almost two weeks later, I still have no response and no information. They claim they are short staff..but to me and based on my experience, this is just someone who cannot get the job done on a timely manner. Is unfortunate that I had finally found a great dentist with whom I felt comfortable and who I trusted and now my family and I, have to stop being her patients due to the lack of professionalism and dedication of one person. I'll attach pictures of text messages exchanged so that ppl can see, how their response changed and how urgent things seemed once I told them I was going to reach out to Dr. Ung. Sorry. But this is my awful experience with someone at your office. I know this does not reflect in any way your professionalism and amazing skill with your patients. Thank you, Dr. Susana for making me feel at ease every time you were working on my teeth and I'm sorry but you need to know before you loose more patients.
