We called back to explain that the way they did their procedure was okay and the receptionist was very rude and hung up the phone while I was still talking. I would not recommend this dental office. For extractions. My husband had to get hospitalized a few hours after his extraction keep that in mind after nurses and doctors look at her area they had ask him why the dental doctor didn't do stitches because of how big the extraction was and that it should have recommended for him to get them.

I have the worst anxiety ever when it comes to dentists. As always I was very apprehensive and…read morenervous and in tears. Everyone was sooo patient and understanding it was amazing!! The appointment wasn't rushed, they explained everything thoroughly and answered all my questions. Dr. Gomez discussed my options and we will be meeting again to decide the final treatment plan. I highly recommend Dr. Gomez especially to anyone who has fear of dentists. They are extremely understanding, patient, and will help you through every step. Thank you Dr. Gomez, Lisa, Paloma, & Alma for your understanding and patience.

My wife and I have been seeing Dr Gomez for the past 3 or 4 years. Out of those years, I've only…read morebeen to a cleaning once or twice and had a couple of teeth filled, oh and 2 crowns. I didn't do the twice yearly cleaning because I don't think about it and my job is crazy busy with hardly no time off. Yep, I had only seen him because my teeth were hurting. Well this time around, my teeth were bothering me last year and I had the teeth cleaned and Dr Gomez found the tooth that needed the crown, he advised me about my middle baby tooth that he thought was going to come out and maybe needing replacement with a bridge and I said "no", but he went ahead and did a casting on my teeth. Well a couple of days after my cleaning, lord and behold I bit a chicken bone and my middle tooth got loose and by the time I saw Dr Gomez to get my crown it still was loose. He said oh wow, "I got that cast mold" and he showed me and said this is how it would look with a bridge of your new tooth. I was like "yea" and he said "you want to take it out and get it for you in 2 weeks?" I said "No", I've never been without my tooth for 50 some years and had nightmares of losing it. Plus, I didn't have that kind of money, so I agreed with the office that I would come back in the beginning of the year so that my insurance would take care of some of the expense. Oh, for you people that are afraid of shots, drilling, pulling teeth, Dr Gomez is great! He calmly talks with you and makes sure that your not in pain, he lets you know you might feel a pinch, for instance with the shots which I hate is not bad, plus he places a topical anesthetic gel before he injects you, so for me I don't worry about seeing Dr Gomez for teeth work, plus while he works he's always conversing with his assistance to keep the patient calm, or you could listen to the background music which is my type of music. So anyways I think it took a little over 2 hours to remove my tooth and he replaced it with a temporary which didn't look bad, I was worried that I was going to be walking around toothless for 2 weeks. This process took a total of 3 visits in 6 weeks. Dr Gomes was able to answer every single question to my satisfaction. All his staff are excellent. I just wish he was in my network, I'm paying a premium but he's worth it.

Sadly it's one of the only places that took Medi-cal/cencal so we were stuck with coming here or…read moreanother place that is far worse. Finally moved my daughter to a new dentist and thats how we found out that they hadn't been cleaning my daughters teeth properly. She was surprised that the new hygienist used the scraping tool and floss as all her past cleaning had been the flouride and tooth brush only.Luckily it seems they did properly take care of any cavities so that was a relief. Besides this, appointments tended to be all over the place. Sometimes on time and others very late. They seem to book as many back to back kids as possible and if one thing goes wrong then you're stuck waiting. We had one specific instance where my kid woke up sick, the day of, and we called to let them know and the receptionist very rudely said that our kid could not be seen for 6 months because of this and hung up. If I could re-do it again, i wouldn't bring my child here but when choices were limited it was the better of 2 places. It wasn't all bad but far from being good. My daughter never experienced pain so at least that was good.

I was looking for a specialist and couldn't find one in the Santa Maria/SLO area. When I called…read moreWestern Dental they said that they could refer me but they couldn't just give me the name unless I was seen by them first. So fine, I made an appt. Now my insurance has changed (for the better) and I have local options. I called Western Dental a few days ago and canceled my appt. Today I get an email reminder that my appt's coming up. I called them again and had to cancel a 2nd time. Considering all of the horrible reviews, I feel like I dodged a bullet but I'm also suspicious that this is SOP procedure: 1) fail to delete canceled appts; 2) bill for the missed appt; 3) send to collections. They weren't AT ALL surprised to hear that they had failed to cancel my appt. I could be wrong about this but I doubt it.

STAY AWAY. WD is the worst company I've ever interacted with. Manager needs to be fired,…read morereceptionist needs to be fired. Me and my insurance called these people with a dental emergency, they assured me over the phone my problem would be covered. I get to the app, and the staff deliberately denied the service and tried to hit me with a $3000 bill. I called another dentist he only charged me $85 for the same procedure. All their patients don't speak English, can't read or know their rights. They have a history of extracting the wrong tooth, & many horror stories. Idk how these people have not been reported to the State board and how they are still allowed to operate. Everyone needs to be fired. STAY AWAY.

I threatened to take them to small claims court and amazingly they gave me my refund a few days later. When I went to a new dentist he had to place a cap on the tooth that Diamond had destroyed to make his cap fit.
