I can confidently say it's one of the best healthcare experiences I've had. I came in for a cleaning and a filling, and as someone who's always had dental anxiety, I was honestly nervous going in.

They explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and checked in throughout the procedure, which made a huge difference. For the first time, I can say my dental fears are basically gone. If you're someone who dreads going to the dentist, this is absolutely the place to go.

The dentist and hygienists are amazing -- they explain everything clearly, work gently, and really make sure you're comfortable throughout the visit.

I used to have dental insurance and now I don't. I went there recently without dental insurance and I felt they weren't trying to rip me off or anything. I highly recommend this dentist office and especially if you're a nervous dental patient like me. Ask to see either of the two brothers. They will make you feel at ease. The front office staff is also very friendly and helpful. There's also a dental assistant there that I really like but I didn't get her name. She's also patient and calming. I have an appointment next week actually so if she's there I'll get her name and add her to my review.

RUN. If I could…read moredescribe this place in one word, it would be predatory. I came here using my Delta PPO insurance expecting professional and honest service. Instead, from the moment I walked in, the front office staff had poor attitudes and made the experience uncomfortable. Almost immediately, they began pushing a 3-D imaging service and asked me to sign a consent form. Be cautious you do not have to agree to additional imaging if you are not comfortable. I was told I had multiple cavities. That alone shocked me.. After spending nearly four hours there, they claimed I needed a $500 deep cleaning and an additional $2,000 worth of dental work. What made things worse, I brought my daughter with me. Her teeth are in great condition, yet they attempted to charge for a routine cleaning even with my PPO. She only had X-rays and the 3-D imaging. I had to specifically request a routine cleaning for her, for a routine visit. They were taking so long. We didn't even get it. Some of the staff was outside drinking a coffee while we were waiting. Feeling uneasy, I sought a second opinion with another dentist using the same Delta PPO insurance. The second office found ZEROcavities, and my co-pay was only $100 for deep cleaning . They confirmed I did not need the extensive work that was recommended. That was extremely concerning. Even after spending hours there, nothing was actually done besides imaging, and I left feeling misled and pressured. They definitely overbuild. I agree with all the reviews that state that. They ended up charging me $60 for this visit and literally only did imaging. I do not recommend booking an appointment here. Please consider getting a second opinion before agreeing to any major treatment plans. Also be prepared to wait, and poor customer service. Unacceptable.

I followed the prompt it gave me when I called, and it went exactly how it said it would. They got me in the same week as a new patient, handled my cleaning, and fixed my permanent retainer all in one visit. I'm very particular about quality of service and my teeth in general, and it showed right away that the entire staff took the time to review my information and make the experience feel personal, not rushed or pressed for upsells. It was an incredibly warm experience. Customer service was excellent. The team was efficient, took care of everything I needed, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. Extra star for having chapstick on hand. My lips usually dry out fast during appointments, so that small detail was the icing on the cake. I walked out with clean teeth, my retainer fixed, and hydrated lips. Highly recommend this office if you want an independent dentist that really cares about their patients.

I have been a patient of Dr. Mendoza's for a couple of years now. Let me fill you in on my dental…read morehistory. I had not been to a dentist since probably kindergarten or 1st grade. My single parent household did not have much money as I was growing up, so we would only go to the doctor for emergencies. And once I became a working adult, I never had health insurance at any of my jobs. When I finally obtained a job with benefits, I still put off visiting the dentist because I was afraid of the out of pocket costs. I had heard horror stories of out of pocket payments, even with the help of insurance. I knew I couldn't put it off any longer because in 2018 I developed a sizable hole on the top of one of my back molars. I did a lot of research on dentists before I called Dr. Mendoza's office to schedule an appointment. I explained that I hadn't been to a dentist in nearly 30 years. They were very reassuring, and I had an appointment lined up in no time. It was my first time getting dental x-rays, which showed how much damage my tooth was suffering. I would need a root canal, which they would be able to perform right away. Dr. Mendoza was so kind and gentle during the process, and always made sure I was ok and comfortable throughout. He made me laugh, and dispelled any fears I had. He took the time to ask me questions about myself, and get to know me as a person. I was surprised at how painless the procedure was!!! Now that I have had a root canal, I can say I would rather have a root canal than deal with a lot of other things in life LOL! Before the procedure started, April at the front desk brought me the invoice showing how much I would have to pay out of pocket, apart from my insurance coverage. I literally started crying, I was so grateful, because the price was so much less than I had feared! Dental work is not cheap, but it was way more affordable than I had ever imagined! I returned to the office a couple weeks later when my crown was ready, and had it installed. I like to refer to it as my bionic tooth. I have been back to the office regularly for my biannual cleanings. It is always a breath of fresh air to see April, the dental hygienist Teresa, and Dr. Mendoza. They truly treat you like family, and are some of the kindest people I have ever met. I wish all doctors and staff, and people in general, were as wonderful as they are! At the time of my writing this, I recently lost my job. They moved up my next biannual cleaning to see if my insurance would cover it before it ran out. It did not, but again, the out of pocket cost was incredibly affordable. I left the office that day feeling deeply cared for, as I do whenever I leave Dr. Mendoza's office. So even though I don't know when I will have insurance again, I feel good knowing I can still go in for whatever dental care I need. And did I mention they have a zen garden?!? The energy in the office is so calming and serene. The decor is gorgeous, and many of the items you see there have been contributed by Dr. Mendoza's patients. It is my favorite Dr's office by far. If you are scared of the dentist, scared about the cost of dental work, or are just looking for a new dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Mendoza and his incredible team! I truly could not have asked for a better doctor, and am so grateful to have found him! They are THE BEST!

Dr. Mendoza has a great personality, and I've done more laughing and joking with him than wincing or feeling scared while in his chair. Norma is awesome--so caring and professional. Shout out to Corina for scraping three years of plaque off my teeth and tolerating my endless questions about dental health. April at the front desk is a gem.

Well, unfortunately, I have to UPDATE my review. Not overreacting or sensationalizing. Almost…read moreeverything I said before is true, but I have to backpedal on and draw into question the integrity I originally experienced in Dr. Ha. An explosion of holistic health approaches are happening in our world. From nutrition (eating Natural, Organic, avoiding seed-oils and sugar, etc) to fascinating research on "grounding." When I told Dr. Ha I did not want any more root canals, he refused to work with me. He became agitated when I mentioned the Netflix film that examines the practice of (root canals) leaving tooth material/flesh inside someone's jawbone to rot with bacteria. Despite logical basic scientific premise, he gave me the, "[There is not one scientific study published that proves root canals are bad]" kind of argument. Go ahead, call me a conspiracist, but remember me when you see what everyone else is waking up to. Health Care is more accurately "Sick Care" and doctors, Big Pharma, and Insurers don't want to change anything because it makes them too much money. It's why public trust is eroding. It is so blaringly obvious that money is more important than my health. Btw, my new holistic dentist in TJ agrees wholeheartedly and is 70% cheaper.
