lucky at cards, unlucky at love they say... i won't comment much one way or another about that,…read morebut based on the accuracy of this kind of old-truism I wonder if there's similar advice from wise ones who know about teeth. in my case, whatever it was i had to do to get lucky about dentistry i must have done so in spades. by that twisted opening i mean to say i've had virtually no problem with cavities or root canals (whatever they are) or implants or much of anything. i also seem to be blessed, whatever that means, with luck when it comes to finding parking places in big cities, i mean like they're just always where and when i need them. others have noticed and can confirm this. so it was a bit of a shock when my regular dentist, Judy Husen who is excellent by the way, announced in a gentle voice recently that you know there's like a little problem in the very back with one of your upper molars, a crack has developed and inside something evil is developing. it's not cancer or heart disease or senility but why not address the problem sooner than later, eh? at this point I needed a bit of time to get used to this idea of losing one of my oldest friends, but then I asked for recommendations, someone who could do what was needed with as little discomfort as possible. that's how I wound up contacting Dr. Mynesberge. to cut this typically overwritten review shorter, i'll end it by the best i can say about his work: tooth was gone while i was somewhere else thanks to some combination of wonder-drugs, and to my amazement there was not a bit of after effect, no swelling, no pain, no problem. YMMV but Dr. Mynesberge is fantastic.

He explained everything so clearly, and the procedure went so smoothly that my fears quickly eased. I never felt rushed or judged for being anxious, and that meant so much to me. His assistants were super friendly and explained the process to me and made sure I was comfortable. Everything was so quick, painless, and relaxing that I didn't even know I was at the dental office. If you're someone who struggles with dental anxiety like I do, this is the place to go. I left feeling cared for, respected, and genuinely grateful for such a positive experience.

Also, it is a quiet and small office. Ive been a patient of Dr. Solow for over 16 years and he has never disappointed me. He is very conscientious of trying the most conservative (tooth-sparing) approach first. You may have to return to his office if the first approach doesn't work, but he does try for the least invasive and cheapest option first. Also, once you are an established patient, he will fit you in if you are having a problem. I cannot recommend Dr. Solow enough

For context, I was with Gabriella Garcia-Rojas's office for 20 years and left because her prices were getting too high, even though I trust her office and her staff and it was hard to leave. Dr. Leite came to me recommended by a close friend, and by and large, I found the transition easy to make. The problem arose when I had an issue with a bite that Dr. Leite's office must have done and unbeknownst to me, until I called my insurance provider, I realized the grinding of my tooth to fix the bite could have been covered by my insurance, but Dr. Leite chose another code that wasn't covered and almost $900 out of pocket. When I called the office to inquire, I was treated rudely and didn't get a call back right away, so I called again. Again, very rude. I asked why the fixing of my bite wasn't filed und insurance and the woman I spoke to said she would get back to me. I called a third time and this time, the woman was very rude and while she agreed to credit me for one tooth (not the other), even though I told her I was under the impression only one tooth was impacted by the bite, she did not clarify if that was true. Anyway, the next week I get a cancellation letter from Leite's office that they were dropping me. If you want to be overcharged, then I recommend this office. Very disappointed, as Dr. Leite himself never called me to problem solve, making me frustrated that I couldn't get the answers I needed and his receptionist was rude and not helpful in answering my questions. Clearly Dr. Leite is okay with is patients being treated rudely. He also doesn't accept any questions about billing/treatment when it is unclear.

We drove all the way from Petaluma (about 40 minutes), but due to traffic we arrived at 11:27. When we got there, we were told they could no longer see us. What was frustrating wasn't that they couldn't accommodate us--it was the lack of communication. If arriving at 11:27 was too late, I wish they had told me that when I called or contacted me while I was driving so I could have turned around or rescheduled instead of making the trip. It was disappointing to spend so much time driving with my daughter only to be turned away.

However, my most recent visit on December 30th raised some concerns I feel are worth sharing. When I arrived, my hygienist Whitney informed me that a 3D X-ray had been recommended. I believed I had already had one done, and after some investigation -- which required bringing in additional staff -- it was confirmed that the images existed in my records but had not been properly documented or billed. Whitney and Dr. Nguyen was thorough and professional in verifying that the images were indeed mine before proceeding with my exam and cleaning. What I found troubling was what happened at checkout. Without any acknowledgment of the administrative error on their end, the front desk requested an unexpected $500 payment for the X-ray on top of the $300 for my visit. When there is an oversight in record-keeping and billing, patients deserve transparency and a degree of grace -- not an abrupt demand for a large sum they weren't prepared for. I asked to go home and review my own records before paying, which I feel was a reasonable request. I'd also gently note that the front desk experience has consistently lacked warmth. A simple greeting and eye contact go a long way in making patients feel welcome, especially when visiting the dentist can already feel stressful. I hope the practice will consider some customer service training for front desk staff. The clinical team is genuinely skilled -- the patient experience as a whole deserves to match that standard.
