I wish I could give them half a star . I waited hours! the financial lady is pushy and passive aggressive. I specifically went in because I needed a molar extracted of course they throw you could save it by getting a root canal. with our PPO it would have cost 5,687$ that's with blue cross anthem. well since my husband isnt working we paid out of pocket it would have been 2,670 for a root canal with no work insurance. how is it less out of pocket. I ended up paying 563$ for a extraction because it was infected. I was about to leave when the financial lady hold a stack of papers and says I have to give this very expensive bill to this patient . I honestly thought she was trying to put me down for being humble . she gave me pushy annoying judgmental vibes . i regret going back to that office I should have just gone to western dental. read more

Went in for a consult regarding a wisdom tooth pain, sat in the chair for a whole hour trying to get the correct x rays, finally the dentist comes in, exams my teeth and then tells me something in less than 20 secs while I'm still in the lower recline position and leaves. The only thing I appreciated was the knowledge of the financial consult lady, she took the time to tell me about the plan in detail and showed me my x rays scans and pointed out exactly what she was talking about. But I felt that this should've been the dentist's job. At the end, they were pretty pushy about setting up appointments so I just let them set it up and cancelled the appointments the next day after I got my second opinion. read more

Hands down the best dental experience I ever had. I haven't been to the dentist in a really long time. I was nervous but these people are helping me over come this.well today my back tooth cracked.. I knew what was coming.. but I called them this morning around 9 am and by 6 pm my tooth is fixed. They stayed late and did their job the best they could. I would recommend them 1000 times over to anyone. Super nice,super friendly, and they care about making you comfortable they don't just talk the talk! Thanks to them I'm on the road to a better smile. read more

Service is good, but prices are out of control. They gave an estimate for an extraction for $2000?! Deep cleaning for $250 per quarter for a total of $1000??? Got the same done elsewhere in town for $400 for everything. Thanks but no thanks! PS even if I told them I found a different place, they still call months later?!?! read more

You can tell everyone who works there enjoys their job. They ensure you know what they are doing and why. They make sure patients are comfortable and cared for. read more

It's nearly 2 yrs later. I used our retirement to get ALL my work done. I'm STILL angry & without teeth, NOTHING was completed. NOTHING!. Cut a front veneer off to get "an exact match", went without for 2 1/2 months, not even close! 5... Appts, They made me wait 2 1/2-3 hours, (what's the point of paying $500.00+ to "relax", if you sit all that time with anxiety)? They pulled ALL of my top/chewing teeth. Since they ALL knew, my home sold/moving to MO, even though I prepaid, I, STILL can't eat! DO NOT INVEST IN KING DENTISTRY! BTW.. They violated HIPA, Everytime I was there, including myself!!! read more

King Dentistry - I "had teeth", BEFORE I went to King. - General Dentistry Near Me - Turlock, California

All the staff at King Dentistry are great! very helpful and easy to talk to. They were able to work out a plan with me and I'm excited to soon start my journey to my perfect smile. read more

I'm excited they're helping me reach my goal of having a beautiful smile It's awesome being able to switch your aligners while at home. I only have to go to the office to get my next set once a month. read more

Told me I had three cavities that would cost $316 AFTER insurance. I came in to have them filled, spent at most 3 minutes in the chair... they didn't numb my teeth, and he told me after I had paid and was in the chair that they weren't actually cavaties but instead just scuffs. He drilled, it hurt, and so he just put filling in them. A month later, I can barely eat because where he drilled hurts and is so sensitive. Also, he didn't fill the one cavities that was actually a cavity and the hole is visible. Worst dentist I've been to, and every other dentist office cringes when I say that I go here! Coming back several months later to update: this office charged me a portion of the bill that was due to my insurance. They then accepted payment from my insurance, which included an amount I already paid. I was never sent a refund from the office for the amount that my insurance covered. She was baffled and tried to lie through it. I absolutely do not trust this office and will never trust medical professionals the same after my experience here. read more

The staff are very pleasant and caring. I had to have deep cleaning mary the technician was very good. Because my ins only allows for 1/2 of the month at a time. They set another appointment for the rest. Looking forward to seeing them again. I'd reccomend their service read more

They're the reason I lost a whole tooth. They saw me for cleaning and exam 2 years ago, and did not get the whole cavity, so it continued to decay behind the filling. They saw me 3 times since then and failed to correct (once because their filling had chipped, once for another exam with X-ray and third exam with X-ray because they made me come without a dentist present). Now the cavity has gone past the bone line and infected the whole area all the way to my sinus. I had to spend hours of excruciating pain in another dentist chair, get my tooth extracted, be on antibiotics, 3 months with a whole in my mouth, will have to get an implant and pay out of pocket, all that was unnecessary if King's staff had be competent. I was told they also missed 4 cavities in my last 2 visits. They have to be shut down or at least scrutinize their staff read more

Horrible went in for a tooth ache spend a half hour negotiating other work got my tooth fixed only to have the nerve exposed during the night went back the next day same dam thing the gal tried to get me to get al kinds off other work done while I'm sitting there in pain! Worst dentist I've ever experienced plus they took me to collections for 4 dollars read more

This is the best dentistry I have ever been to. De. Mike is a magician when it comes to fillings. I was stressed out the day a chipped my tooth and they were able to get me in 2 days after it happened. Very greatful for their work, kindness, and professionalism. Thank you very much! I recommend this dentistry to everyone! read more

From the start of my first time being at this dentist everyone was super welcoming and calming due to me being so scared of the dentist. They really know how to take great care of their patients and its truly represented from all their employees. The girls in the front desk are amazing and welcoming the moment you walk through the door. I highly recommend this dentist if you have any fear from past dentist experiences, they really find a way to earn your trust. read more

This Dentist Office can actually keep an appointment! I haven't ever had a long wait here. I am very busy so that really got my attention. The staff make the visits pleasant. Their pricing was similar to the other places I checked out. I moved, but my family and I like King Dentistry so much I make the drive when we need anything. I give Dr. Balch and King Dentistry 5 stars! read more

Absolute thumbs down! So disorganized! Their rooms have faulty equipment,poorly trained staff and not to mention their "highly trained" team of dentists have no pride in their work to say the least. My tooth pain worsened after visiting their offices. Went back three times to correct their mistake. All I can say is I'm never going back and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. read more

The staff are very polite and professional. I went in for X-rays and they had already contacted my insurance and it was explained to me in detail before my appointment so I could make an informed decision. They are very friendly and made me feel so comfortable. I was treated with the utmost respect. I have absolute confidence in their ability and highly recommend this office read more

These people treat you like family. I had my dentures done here and everyone on staff was encouraging me to keep giving the dentures a chance,they encouraged me not to give up. I've had my dentures for two years now and they still fit without having to use addhesive. So when my daughter started to complain about her teeth hurting due to cold things there was only one place I wanted to take her to. Today she went in got her teeth checked out by Mary and it was an amazing experience. My daughter said that it was fun being there, she got to suction out her own mouth, she said it didn't hurt at all when they did the cleaning. My daughter really enjoyed being here and Mary explained everything to her where my daughter could understand what she needed to do at home to take care of her teeth. She explained to her what happens when you don't take care of your teeth. It's just so amazing having these people here to help. They truly care about their patients and it hurts my heart that there are bad reviews for this office when everyone on the team is so wonderful and caring. I truly love coming here for myself and my daughter. read more

It has been almost one week that I got my wisdom tooth and it was a great experience ! From the beginning to the end! The numbing part was painless I didn't feel any part of the shot; the tooth came out whole and seemed relatively fast; the staff did a great job educating me on what not to do after you get a tooth taken out ; they were totally about making me feel comfortable and relaxed I would definitely recommend anybody who is scared of the dentist to come here; very welcoming and accommodating . read more

I recently went in to have dental work done. I had many fillings fall out from my previous dentist. I went in and they through and patched me up in the front teeth. Dr Omar was very outgoing and very contagious with his high energy. The staff was very accommodating if there were any issues or discomforts I had. Amazing experience. I'm going back to have my molars finished. Thanks guys! read more

I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. Office is dirty. Lighting over chair kept going out. Had to cancel a procedure due to an emergency and because I didn't cancel two days in advance they charged me $50 for every hour they had me booked for(2 hours). When I tried to see if there was anything they could do, the lady at the front desk said I'll see what I can do and call you back. She never called me back and I got a bill for $100 in the mail. So glad I didn't have anything done but xrays. read more

I usually hate going to the dentist and I like to do my part in helping like-minded people make good decisions on who to consider for their next dental appointment. While King Dentistry might not be the only place to try for your next appointment, you should definitely give them some consideration. I needed some crown work done and I decided to give their office a chance. Suffice it to say, I'm very happy with my decision. The dentist there was pleasant and the work was top notch. I felt at ease throughout the procedure and their hygenist was VERY friendly. There was no pain and I felt well educated on the treatment I received. Needless to say, I'm very happy with my smile, as well. I'm only giving this review four stars because I did have to wait a little longer than I expected but, to be fair, it was worth the wait. They were pretty busy when I got there and I can see why. The work they do is great and the staff was very professional. If you're shopping around for a new dentist, give King Dentistry a shot! read more

If I could leave this guy 0 stars I would. My husband told them that he didn't want any work done unless they approved the cost with him. After lying to him and telling him the work would cost a certain amount and my husband after the fact they tried to charge him an additional 500 $ which they have put it in collections and are harassing me from 2011. I should have gotten an attorney then. I don't like when people are dishonest and try to get more money from you. Horrible horrible horrible Doctor I'm contacting the BBB. I pay my bills just not to people who try to cheat and lie to get it. They have no idea what SOL is or time- barred or the fact that it is illegal and they are in violation to still be harassing me. 2011 statute CCC1788.17 Don't waste your time at this doctors office. read more

Worst experience ever! They did work for me and I've had problems since. Not to mention they told me the work would cost me a certain amount after billing my insurance. Then when all my work was done I was billed extra since they said my insurance didn't cover. Over $250.00 extra. I went back over ten times so they can correct the mistakes. To this day I have tooth pain. I never met DR King he never bothered to see me or try to help me he simply told the other dentist he didn't know what the problem was, when looking at my chart. If I could I would give them a negative star! read more

This place is terrible always calling always charging me for new stuff every time I paid for one tooth to get worked on on they did the wrong one and I asked for refund they said no that tooth needed work anyways I am disabled and a veteran it took me a whole year to save up 5k for my front teeth all 4 were damaged due to a accident as a kid they implanted all 4 and they cracked while was eating French fries with my wife and they cracked they try to blame me and the Dr. Agreed and then new Dr. Said no its not my fault. And also try to figure out all kinds of ways for u to figure out how to get the money asking u all about ur personal finances not right. Dr. King is retired they just use his name to attract customers terrible practice read more

The prices were ridiculous and they use high pressure sale tactics. My wife had an exam...no cleaning just xrays. We opted to get her treatment elsewhere and went on our way. Years later they filed a $120 collection for an unpaid balance. My wife had full coverage and paid her co-pay. There are too many good options out there. Don't be fooled like we were. read more

It's been awhile since I've came to the dentist I aheard about this place on the radio, I called DENTIST & they took me with no insurance! Xrays were quick the only thing I think I upset the Dr because I ate a cookie while I was waiting an when he came in he and professional. read more

A money hungry company. They will make you pay and do unnecessary procedures. The lady at the front desk is annoying. They are very impersonal too. I'm glad I left. read more

Been going here for a couple of years. Staff is friendly and great at accommodating your schedule.

wow!! Worst experience of my life... I chose this dentist because I have major jaw pain from TMJ so dental work is really stress inducing for me. first off they didn't schedule me for a cleaning when I asked for that and my first consultation so I had to get a cleaning the day of my filling. The male hygienist injured the muscle where he injected the Novocaine because he injected it so fast (and there was no apology). I've had fillings before with my real dentist and he always goes slow and causes no pain. then the dentist (female), in the middle of my filling, asked what I needed and my response was "to please just finish" because I was in so much pain, got pissed off and threw down her tools and walked out of the room. She left me there with my mouth full of filling utensils. She still had finish and when she came back into the room she did not even apologize. I apologized to her that she got upset. I work in the healing field and, no matter what, I would never get upset or frustrated with a patient and walk out of the room. I would never blame a patient for my frustration. I spoke with the manager, who did apologize and promised that she would call me to let me know what the consequences for that dentist's behavior would be. of course, I never got a phone call. And, I never saw or even spoke to Dr. Richard King. This establishment promises a stress free environment. This was probably the MOST stressful experience I've ever had at any kind of doctor's office. and I had to pay the amount in full with no price reduction for the two weeks of pain they put in! read more

The staff here always takes on interest in the world I come from. I've sat in consultations with the lead hygienists and noticed that they really took time to explain HOW I ended up where I was and what I could do to change that. I found myself having a comforting conversation about my personal health. We shared a lot of the same views! This is the first time that I've encountered dentistry as a form of HEALTHCARE!! read more

I came in for a teeth cleaning and checkup around Thanksgiving. I was traveling for the holidays and they were really great about accommodating my schedule. Lauren was the hygienist who did my cleaning and she did an awesome job. She listened to my concerns about having trouble keeping my mouth open for long periods of time and really made sure I was comfortable. She gave me a numbing mouthwash that seemed to help a lot. This was definitely the best experience I've ever had at a dentist appointment and I won't be dreading my next cleaning appointment. read more

Been going to Dr. Balch for years. Always had a great experience. Office staff is very friendly as well.

Their office is more concerned with billing and figuring out how I'm supposed to come up with what my insurance won't cover ("Don't you have some family or friends you can borrow a few hundred dollars from?") than explaining the procedures I was scheduled for. When I first walked into the office lobby, the woman behind the counter was openly discussing medical and financial information with a patient, including the poor woman's inability to pay for their services (who was visibly upset). I should have left immediately after seeing their complete disregard for patient privacy and confidentiality. Their policy for appointment cancelations (requiring 2 full business days) needs to be reworked to include weekends, as well. I had an appointment on a Friday and had been scheduled for an appoint on the following Tuesday, which I was unable to attend as I chose to see a different dentist instead. There would have been no possible way for me to cancel or reschedule within the time frame they required and yet they still billed me $50. Whoever answered the office phone when I called to address the fee had a snarky attitude about it, first threatening to not waive the fee because she didn't like the tone of my voice and stated that I "should have asked nicer." She eventually agreed to waive it after I mentioned going to the BBB. Lastly, they wanted to perform fillings on teeth that, as I learned in my appointment with a more reputable dentist office, didn't have cavities or decay that needed fixing or the expensive procedures that Dr King's office wanted to schedule me for. The woman on the phone apparently didn't take nicely to me mentioning this and, not being a doctor or dentist, still tried to explain whatever diagnosis I was given and treatment plans they had in mind for me. I don't expect a receptionist to have the qualifications or authority to do so. I'm still going to be in touch with the BBB and the dental board in regards to their shady business practices, and disregard to patient privacy, and HIPAA noncompliance. Avoid this office. read more

I've been a patient for a short time but have been impressed with their customer service/ patient service. Everyone who's help me has been courteous and knowledgeable. I look forward to my dental cleanings since I know I will have a something new to learn about my dental care. read more

My husband and I came in on a last minute appointment on New Year's eve because our insurance was changing and realized we hadn't used the one we currently had. They were able to schedule my husband and I for back to back cleanings. The difficult part was that we are new parents and could not get a sitter. We brought our little one and hoped for the best. When my little one started crying, the office manager and assistants were nice enough to hold/rock her for me until the hygienist was done with me. They even gave me a break so I could feed her and resume afterwards. Talk about giving special treatment! We really really appreciated the care they gave us and Dr. King was patient and very courteous with us. We understand they have a business to run and I don't think we would have been treated the same had we been at another dentist's office. My husband doesn't really like going to the dentist and he can be very particular. When we left he said he really liked how gentle and well-versed Dr. King was plus the hygienist was very friendly. We would definitely recommend this office and plan on returning. read more

horrible, horrible, horrible!!!!!!! Dr. King doesn't even do the work at his own office, he has lots of other dentists to do the work instead. I went in for a root canal and a crown and was quoted a price only to be billed a different and higher price. The tooth they worked on has never been fully out of pain and now 2 yrs later i finally went to another dentist and found out they never even finished the root canal fully but left half of the root because my root is curved. They never informed me of this and put a cap over the top like it was fine. Now because of the bad work they did i will need surgery to remove part of my bone due to the severe infection it caused! Western dental work for a private practice price. RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!!!! I requested a refund or at least a part of and they laughed and told me good luck! You get a free whitening service but it doesn't even work 1 shade, i had better luck with colgate strips! read more

Don't ever go here. Worst dentist ever. Had a horrible experience. So much for "don't fear the dentist chair" . Never met Dr King. Instead I had some young dentist trying to extract a wisdom tooth for nearly 3 hours. He had to leave it in my mouth and refer to me to a oral surgeon. I am in terrible pain. I can not believe I went through this. Please take my advice . worst place ever. Now I have to pay for a complete new exam. Wow.. read more

This Dentist calls you for an appt, you schedule and then you need to cancel because you dont have the money to pay because I dont have insurance and times are tough and they want to CHARGE you $50 for a broken appt that hasn't even come up yet! They say 2 days to cancel. How could I if it was scheduled on a Friday late afternoon, closed weekends, and call in at 8am to cancel for next day and get the answering service. Ummmmm these people are ridiculous and I will not be going back! They say their friendly, yeah they're in a shopping center and over do it to get patients! Dont waste your time. :( read more
