Wife & I have had problems in the past with some of the local dental offices. We did lots of…read moreresearch before making our decision to choose Academy Dental. We were very happy with each phase of our first day with this company. They set us up with their 1st available appointment that was over a month out, but put us on a call earlier list if there is a cancellation. This was great for us, because as retirees we could be available at a days notice. Both of us got calls to come in earlier than our scheduled appointments. Front desk staff were very efficient at processing Maggie & I as 1st time patients. The dental team makes the 1st appointment 2hrs long to do a very thorough exam. They want your input to get your level of involvement in the dental care process. The equipment they have is top of the industry standard. It gives the patient a good view of dental issues, allowing a more knowledgeable choice by patient & Dentist. We never felt pressured to additional care that wasn't truly required at the present time. We were given a break down priority list of items needed & told they would work with us on payment steps based on the priority list. Even given discounts on how payments can be made. I see them on Monday for 1st step in fixing some of my issues. We highly recommend this Dental Care Family

Terrible experience with this provider. I trusted Sandi like no other dental provider in…read moreAlbuquerque. No more. After many years of going to Sandi for her patient-centered policies, she has "gone corporate." Since expanding her practice, Sandi now forces patients into wholly unnecessary profit-oriented processes, explaining it away by claiming "liability" concerns for herself. In the past she was warm and friendly. Wow did she turn cold when I questioned her dramatic reversal of her own health care beliefs and commitments. In fact, I checked with the ADA and her assertions about "mandatory" procedures are simply wrong. But she would rather make the money than stand by her own commitments that I trusted. In fact, I sat in her waiting area and listened to her literally pitch one of her new dental procedures to another patient. (A pitch that had the feel of needing to justify the high cost of an expensive equipment purchase.) Based on how happy I was with her approach, I had referred several people to her. I am now embarrassed to have so enthusiastically recommended her and withdraw my endorsement.

A 2nd opinion was requested, which nobody has followed up on with me. I told them I need 31 crowned because that is the one hurting me. 3rd appointment They were going to crown 30, not 31, they have no nitrous available, I waited nearly and hour to see a dentsit. They did the prep work for the crown and then the dentist came in and said he couldn't do a crown or he wasn't sure if he could, and I should see an endontist to figure that out. It was already hurting me, so I said go ahead and pull it. Again, no nitrous in the office at all. He yanked on my face for at least an hour, and said I'd have to go to an oral surgeon to finish the job. The battery kept running out on his headlamp, they didn't have the tools to finish the job, and there seemed to be other equipment lacking. The dentist said he'd pay for whatever my insurance didn't cover at the oral surgeon, so that was decent. He made the appointment, and I went there the next day. It took the oral surgeon about 3 minutes to get the roots out. I had to suffer through another round of novocane shots in the same spots as the day before. As far as the office is concerned, there seems to be communication problems with regard to appointments and they seem to be overbooking patients. I will be looking for a new dentist again. Sigh.

Recently, I was advised that there was a decay on my upper wisdom tooth that it would be best to just extract it out to prevent future issues. Honestly, having gone through wisdom teeth extraction process (2 lower ones) 20+ years ago (elsewhere)...I wasn't really thrilled about having to repeat my own traumatic experience again. The scheduling took some time as the time had to be coordinated and I had changed some insurances. That said, the day of operation, I was so nervous and anxious! I wasn't quite sure what to expect with local anesthesia. But, the staff at UNM Dental Surgical Center from front desk Brie to the nurse Chelsea and dentist team working with Dr. Watson were all around awesome! It was such a chill, relaxing vibe at the place on day of operation. Plus, who gets to listen to Frank Sinatra while getting your tooth extract?!?!?! They all were so kind, friendly, relatable, professional and just all around great! The process took just 30 minutes and everything was all done! It went really smoothly that I wished I hadn't delayed taking out my wisdom teeth until later in my life! If you are looking for a professional team to take care and manage your dental, I definitely recommend UNM Dental Services. It may be difficult going through appointment processes, but once you are in the system, everything went well! They could help you with anything from just cleaning to doing surgery like what I just went through!

They never told me it wasn't covered and left me with the bill. Not good service in my opinion.

Sadly he has retired now and I am going to have to find a more transparent dentist than Joe Valles
