Shucks! I have my youngest who still has another year with Dr. Miller. He is just so kind and caring to all of his patients and his staff is literally the best dental staff ever! As an adult, I have switched dentist about a dozen times because I find it so difficult to find the level of care that my children have had in Dr. Miller and his team. We have never switch pediatric dental care for my children. I only wish I could find a dental care as great as Dr. Miller and his team. From the office staff to the dental care team...each and every one of them are simply the best! When we lived as far as Soledad, we used to still bring our kids to see Dr. Miller.... That just shows how amazing they are in that office!

I called this morning to schedule a general cleaning and check-up for my daughter. I informed the…read morereceptionist from the beginning that I intended to pay in cash and would not be using insurance. Despite repeating this multiple times, she continued to ask for my insurance information. Eventually, I told her that I have Medi-Cal, and clarified that I was aware your office does not accept it -- which is exactly why I wanted to pay out of pocket. Even after explaining this clearly, she repeatedly told me that the office could not help me because I have Medi-Cal. I attempted several times to clarify that I was not using insurance at all and was willing to pay upfront, but she was unwilling to listen. I even asked to speak with someone else, but instead of addressing my concerns, I was told, "We don't help those kind of people here." When I requested to speak with a manager, I was abruptly hung up on. I felt deeply disrespected and discriminated against based on the mere fact that I have Medi-Cal, despite making it clear I had no intention of using it. I left a voicemail expressing my concerns but never received a response. It's extremely disheartening to experience this kind of treatment. I've since scheduled an appointment with a different office where my payment will be accepted -- without judgment. The way this situation was handled is unacceptable and reflects very poorly on your office. No one should be treated this way. I posted a review on Google, and the dentist responded by claiming the call never took place. To clarify, I added a screenshot of my call history to show that the conversation did happen. I hope this helps others see how the situation was handled and what kind of behavior is considered acceptable at this office.

She was kind, gentle, and took the time to make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire appointment. Instead of feeling like just another patient, I felt like someone she genuinely cared about. She was incredibly thorough, but everything she did was done with such a gentle touch that it honestly felt more like a spa treatment than a dental cleaning. I walked out with my teeth feeling incredibly clean and a smile on my face because the whole experience was so much better than I expected. Everyone at Next Dentistry was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. If you've ever been nervous about going to the dentist, this is the place to go. And if you have the chance to see Candy, consider yourself lucky. She made what is usually my least favorite appointment one that I'm actually looking forward to next time.

My children have been coming to this dental group for many years. The appointment waiting period…read morewas often horrendous but staff was typically very professional. When the Seaside office closed, all the families living on the Peninsula were forced to travel to Salinas. This was not always convenient. I am a single mom of three, working, going to school full time and recently deemed disabled. My doctors appointments began to multiply and I had to take time off work, resulting in late payments of rent and bills, and had no family in the area to help me with my children. Unfortunately, getting my three children from Pacific Grove to Salinas was often beyond my abilities due to both finances and my disability. Our insurance is great in that they offer free rides to doctors appointments, however, that still meant additional time missed from work and school and if I were in medical flare up, I was unable to leave my home. This left me with making difficult choices for the whole family which often meant we we're only able to see doctors on an emergency or urgent basis. In the beginning of June I called to schedule an appointment for one of my children to have her teeth cleaned before we moved from the area (to be closer to help). The woman I spoke with on the phone was anything but helpful. In a tone reserved for those who have somehow wronged another, she reminded me of all our cancelled or rescheduled appointments. It was as though she took our absence personal and felt the need to make me feel like an even bigger failure for not taking care of my children's oral health. Even though my daughter was still under the accepted patient age, she refused to schedule her for a cleaning because "the whole practice has decided to not allow it". As a disabled mother, the way this staff member treated me, and repeatedly implied I am not properly taking care of my children, was heartbreaking. I hope she never makes another parent feel as low as I did on that day. Even if we hadn't moved, I would have taken my children elsewhere - a different county if I had to - if it meant never supporting this practice again. Shaming a parent for doing their best (even if it doesn't look like it from your end) is never an appropriate, much less professional, way to conduct oneself or business.

I would give Modjeski a perfect 5 stars if it was not what happened on my last appointment about 15…read moreyears ago. It was the last check up when my braces were removed. He wanted to file down the tips of my two front teeth. I thought he would use a ruler to measure to get it even but he just eyeballed it. I now have one tooth a slight shorter than the other. At the time, he told me that eventually they would even out...humm....yah...right. He is a wonderful orthodontist but this was a quick procedure that I think was not considered thoroughly by him. I came originally to get braces for a more even mouth after all. He could have been more exact but instead brushed over my concern and now my two front teeth are uneven. I see this every time I look in the mirror and will continue to for the rest of my life....sigh. My family did pay in advance for the braces so it would have been appreciated if he would have been more thorough at the end.

This office has done a lot to alleviate my longstanding dental phobia. First of all, the lobby is…read moresuper soothing and spa-like, with a coastal vibe, and they have a bunch of choices of tea or Nespresso. When you get to the chair, they'll have sunglasses for you so the lights aren't in your face, and if you are having a long procedure, you can watch a video of your choosing. But more importantly, the dentists (I've seen Dr. Simonsen and Dr. Melhem both) are kind, gentle, and thorough. I had two crowns, my first ever, a few years ago, and I was VERY nervous, since I have had previous fillings and extractions with inadequate anesthesia. The office has a long and detailed questionnaire where you can identify your triggers and they offer you ways to ameliorate them. I started feeling the work partway through and Dr. Simonsen stopped to re-numb me, instead of carrying on like dentists I've had in the past. They also offered breaks, and got me a ball from the prize chest to squeeze so I wouldn't maul my palms. The hygienists, Alison and Lisa, are also both great. Friendly, gentle, and detail oriented. They'll get you sparkling clean without making your mouth sore. I actually don't dread going for a cleaning!

Five Stars - Truly Life-Changing Smile!…read more I cannot thank Dr. Melhem and the team at Carmel Family Dental enough for the amazing transformation they achieved with my Daughters smile! She had some gaps and discoloration that made her feel self-conscious, after her Orthodontic treatment. Dr. Melhem recommended the BioClear bonding treatment as a same-day fix that wouldn't require any removal of her natural tooth structure. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Dr. Melhem explained every step in detail, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure my Daughter and I both felt completely comfortable. The treatment itself was quick, painless, and the results were immediate. The difference is incredible - her teeth now look smooth, even, and natural (you can see the before and after photos!). The material blended perfectly with her natural teeth color, and her smile looks brighter and healthier than I ever imagined possible. The office is warm and welcoming, the staff is friendly and professional, and you can tell they truly care about their patients. I'm so grateful for Dr. Melhem's expertise and artistry - this is more than dental work, it's confidence restored! If you're considering BioClear or any cosmetic dental work, I cannot recommend Dr. Melhem and Carmel Family Dental enough. You'll be in the best hands.

I lost a tooth after trusting a dentist at Dental Concepts, whom I originally thought was the…read morenicest one there. I initially went in for a second opinion because my former dentist told me a root canal needed to be redone. However, this dentist told me it wasn't necessary, so I stayed with him. Shortly after, he even cleared me to get braces. Four years ago, another dentist at the same office saw me and confirmed that the same root canal did need to be done. Because he was my primary dentist, I had to wait to see him for the final word. When I finally did, he said I was fine. I saw him again this past January, and he told me everything looked good. However, the hygienist I saw in March pointed out that the tooth needed to be fixed, noting it had already been flagged by the other doctor four years prior.They finally scheduled an appointment for him to do the root canal, but when I arrived, he told me I now need an implant. For years he told me I was fine, and then suddenly I need an implant. He completely failed to keep me informed about what was actually happening with my teeth. I am incredibly disappointed in him, and I feel deeply saddened by how this was handled. I trusted him completely, and it hurts to know that my tooth could have been saved if he had just listened to his colleagues and properly monitored my care. The office manager told me that writing a bad review wouldn't make me feel any better. However, I am writing this so that others don't have to go through the same painful experience.
