There will be no review that embodies how amazing Dr. Crooks is. Dr. Crooks is one of the best cosmetic dentist in town with many years of experience. She is a bubbly, approachable, and great company. The Staff: When I first arrived, the front desk was ready to greet me and take me where I needed to go. During the procedure, Joey was one of the assistants helping Dr. Crooks and he is super friendly and very attentive to every patient. He made the procedure very smooth and was effective in getting me in and out of the office. The Office: The office is off of Howe Ave with plenty of parking with the office located upstairs. There are stairs and elevator access! They have a space when you first enter the office for kids to explore and have fun. The Doctor: As I mentioned above, I had Dr. Crooks during my visit and she was amazing! She has the brightest smile and the friendliest persona. She made sure to carefully explain the procedure and made me feel more comfortable in the office. She was gentle and made sure to communicate what she was doing during the procedure. Overall I had a great experience and I would come back to Dr. Crooks for any of my dental concerns.

Just a happy guy who loves his dentist!

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Monica Crooks DDS is simply amazing! She is such a kind and loving person, wonderful artist and Monica is the most talented dentist that we have ever met! You can definitely see that she cares by the way that she listens and that is what make her a fantastic problem solver with everything that's he does! Monica always goes above and beyond to help everyone that she serves and I've always appreciate that she is a perfectionist at her crafts! My wife, kids and I I have been constantly amazed on how delicate she is. We all used to be afraid to go to Dentist and it's incredible how we never feel the pain and fear that we had with other Dental offices! The whole staff / team are the best!

This was not even the issue, I don't understand why she wanted to play the "nice guy".

Since my first appointment she was condescending and made me feel like a child. She scolded me after I said I could feel pain (I thought some pain was normal to feel, I got fillings as a child and remember the same pain and thought it was normal) she said "you need to tell me! We can get in trouble if we don't numb you!" She was annoyed the whole rest of the visit and I was physically shaking and silently crying out of fear and embarrassment. My partner was with me for moral support and after we left he was furious at her attitude as well. The next time I got a cleaning with Erik which was fine he was very kind. On June 24th I came in "to get looked at" (because of an email I send the night before). I arrive and I'm taking to the back room and Eric numbs me to which I responded "oh what are they doing I thought I was only gonna be here for 30 minutes?" The reason I wanted to know exactly how long I was going to be there was because I am a social worker and had a home visit at 12 and did not want to be swollen!! He gets the doctor and she comes and I ask her the same question and tell her it's because I have to go to work and I was only allowed 30 minutes. She explained to me that I AM THE ONE who wanted to come in and that my tooth is starting to decay and my gums are inflamed because I have not been brushing. (Which that side of my teeth had not been cleaned so the plaque she was referring to was from years and years of not seeing a dentist.) I tell her I have been brushing and that it's very painful but everyday I still continue to try to keep it clean. That it had been a week and it was starting to concern me and that's why I went in and I ask her what all we are going to do because (1) I have work and the home visit with my family and 2) I'm terrified to be alone here 3) if she is rude again I wanted my partner here with me to hear as well) and she says "DO YOU WANT ME TO FIX IT OR NOT??" I was furious and let her finish and left as soon as it was done. She scolded me on my birthday! Sent me to work in tears and puffy eyed and numb for that visit with my client! All for wanting to know the exact details of what was going to happen that day! Since then I have read her negative reviews and have decided to never go to her again. It's funny because if you look through her reviews multiple people say that she is rude as fuck 3 years ago!! Nothing has changed I guess. Since canceling all future appointments with her she has emailed me multiple times to try to reel me back in. She says she is truly concerned and wants to help me but fuck that I already have plans to see someone else. And her response about her attitude? She apologized that I was "offended by the diagnosis", the fuck. No, it was the condescending tone and the fact that she raised her voice at me! Most of this review was copy and pasted from what I messaged the front desk staff. DO NOT GO HERE OR SUPPORT MONICA CROOKS.

Before smile transformation. Teeth were spaced, one larger and shorter than the other.

Do you guys do teeth whitening? Would my insurance be able to pay for the teeth whitening?

Hello Mike! No, insurance does not pay for teeth whitening, nor does it pay for any other elective purely cosmetic procedure. But yes, we do teeth whitening, and it is affordable. Call or text my admin staff for more information at 916.922.2027. Be… Read more

Does anyone know if this dental office is still in business? I've called three times in the last week and only reached a recording. I left a message each time, but no return call. I also requested an appointment via their website and no response.

They are still there, I usually call around 9-10am. They are open Monday-Thursday's

Thank You Megan for making it another good day here in Elk Grove…read more I just left the office for my daughter routine brace work and as always ,she done a very fine job . Her technique is very good, the precision of the cut of the wire so it won't poke you in the mouth , the smoothness of putting it on . On top of that she is very caring ,one person at a time and answer all your concern. She also helped my daughter brush her teeth to show her the mistakes. Her personally is exceptional, will fit any environment actually, not like some grumpy people ,just to be there to make their paycheck. After seeing her smile , you might realize that anxiety and depression is just a thought. I'm also very happy with how my daughter's braces is coming along, and Dr.Oshetski is very good with the kids. He got a great team working for him, like Marceline working in front desk who is very courteous on the phone .if you still looking for a good office , you can't go wrong with Dr.Oshetski, which I plan for my son when he is ready for his braces. Thank you

My daughter received her retainer today! We are extremely pleased with the results; the before and…read moreafter are definitely noteworthy. I must say that we had an exceptional experience from day 1. The staff are always pleasant, from when you walk through the door (we adore Ms. Marceline), to the wave good-bye. Dr. Oshetski, has a great disposition, consistently in a great mood and he shows so much respect for his team. I felt that the process was transparent from the very beginning and the ultimate decision regarding the plan was left up to us, I appreciate this approach and it's evident that he really values his work. Finally, he also provided a second opinion for my other daughter and the way he spoke about the prior orthodontist was very respectful and professional...that speaks a lot to one's character. Would definitely recommend! And the music is always

I recently finished my Invisalign treatment, and I am so glad I found Dr. Markham. When I was first…read morelooking into treatment options, I almost went with an online only tray service, but I am so glad I did not. Dr. Markham does much more than just scan your teeth and order trays. He carefully plans each phase of the treatment, placing "buttons" and rubber band hooks exactly where they are needed to achieve the best alignment. He is a great orthodontist, very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. I highly recommend him. If you commit to wearing your trays ~23 hours per day, you will see a dramatic transformation just like I did. Just be prepared to wear your permanent retainers every night after treatment is complete, or your teeth will shift!

While the facility and staff at Markham Orthodontics are friendly and professional, our experience…read morewith Dr. Markham has been disappointing. He strongly encouraged us to start a "pre-braces" treatment for our children at a very young age (8-10 years old), claiming it would help prepare them for braces later in their teens. At the time, this seemed like a proactive and reasonable step. However, what Dr. Markham failed to disclose was that most dental insurance plans typically cover only one set of orthodontic treatment per child. Because we followed his advice and began early treatment, we were shocked to learn years later that our insurance would not cover the actual braces phase--and we were left to pay the full amount out of pocket. This lack of transparency felt deceptive and financially motivated. I cannot in good conscience recommend Markham Orthodontics to other families, especially those trusting him with their children's long-term care. It seems the primary concern is not what's best for the patient, but how much money can be made from them.
