I went to a new dentist and I was able to see the difference in cleanliness and service. Secondly, I was recommended to do a dental procedure that would have costed about 5k dollars and I was told I had problems with my teeth, that I actually didn't. The new dentist I went to took X-rays and told me my teeth were fine and there was no problems, and no reason to do any procedures. Just a warning that this dental office may recommend unnecesary procedures that you don't need, and you should get a 2nd opinion somewhere else before you get a procedure/operation done here.

What an amazing place!…read more I brought my 11-year-old son to see Dr. Romero today, and we had the best experience. From the moment we walked in, the office was incredibly clean and very kid-friendly. They even have video games in the waiting room, which immediately made my son feel more comfortable. The front desk staff was so helpful and kind, assisting me with my insurance and making everything easy and stress-free. Dr. Romero had to remove one of my son's molars, and he was very nervous. But Dr. Romero and his team were incredibly patient and reassuring -- they talked to him calmly and even put on a movie to help him relax. The procedure went so smoothly that my son didn't feel a thing! At the end, he even gave Dr. Romero a fist bump This was truly the best experience we've had. We will definitely be coming back to Dr. Romero. Highly recommend!

Within 10 minutes I received a text msg. for me to come in today at 1:30. The issue is resolved and the discomfort is gone.

I don't doubt her abilities, but the style was off-putting for me. I realize that every person, culture has it's style, but this one didn't suit me.

I made a claim with my dental insurer and they ruled in my favor and reimbursed me. I understand that a medical provider is entitled to make a living, but not at the expense of a patient's trust.

They take x-rays once a year and the doctor discusses my teeth with me. She's always very honest and doesn't try to push changes. At one point, I had really bad recessed gums and Dr recommended a scaling treatment and told me to start brushing with an electric toothbrush. That really helped and I went from being really bad to being pretty good. I also really like the dental hygienists. They are so thorough and do a great job cleaning my teeth. I buy my teeth whitening gel when I come in for my cleaning so I can keep my pearly whites nice and bright. I'm pretty picky. I had braces for four years and jaw surgery when I was young, so my teeth are really important to me. I've only experienced kindness and professionalism at this practice. Everyone is really friendly and I look forward to coming in for my teeth cleaning. If you're looking for a new dentist try them out!

I've been with my dentist for 17 years, 10+ of those years moved up to the Bay Area and making the 5-6hr commute back and forth. Well, life happens and during my last check with Most Awesome General Dentist; turns out I need a root canal and was recommended to Dr. John Pratte as a "Diplomate" dentist. What is that? I asked a robot and this is what I learned: Achieving diplomate status in dentistry, particularly for specialties like endodontics, is a prestigious accomplishment that represents the highest level of expertise in the field. Here's what it generally involves: 1. Advanced Education and Specialty Training: After earning a dental degree (e.g., DDS or DMD), a dentist must complete additional years of postgraduate training in their specialty, such as endodontics, periodontics, or orthodontics. This involves clinical, hands-on training and deep study of the specialty. 2. Board Certification: To become a diplomate, a dentist must pass rigorous board certification exams specific to their specialty. This typically includes: Written Exam: Testing the candidate's knowledge of all facets of their specialty. Clinical Exam or Case Presentations: Submitting complex case studies or undergoing a practical exam to demonstrate hands-on expertise and problem-solving abilities in their specialty. Oral Exam: Being questioned by a board of experts on clinical cases, treatment planning, and specialized knowledge to assess clinical judgment and expertise. 3. Experience and Case Portfolio: Many boards require candidates to complete and submit a portfolio of complex cases they've treated successfully, showcasing their proficiency and commitment to high standards of care. 4. Continuing Education and Recertification: Once they achieve diplomate status, many boards require ongoing continuing education and periodic recertification to ensure they remain up-to-date with advancements in their field. 5. Commitment to Excellence: Diplomates are often required to uphold strict ethical standards and demonstrate a commitment to advancing their specialty through research, teaching, or service within the professional community. In short, becoming a diplomate is a mark of dedication, clinical excellence, and a deep commitment to providing the highest standard of patient care in their specialty. It signifies that the practitioner has gone well beyond the basic requirements of dental practice. _______________________ So I just want to say that I highly appreciate the expertly skilled precision of Dr. Pratte's deft and nimble hands. He has a very professional demeanor while also being quite warm and personable. (And those diplomate credentials tell you that you're getting the very best of the very best!!!)
