Had a chipped front tooth. Experience was professionally handled and the artistry was spot on. Very happy with the results!

We moved to Scottsdale about six or seven years ago. My wife did a ton of research before picking a…read moredentist and she chose S&L with Dr. David Ngo. I went with a different place at first because it was closer to where we were living. Well, that turned out to be a mistake. I ended up having a bad experience there and finally switched to S&L. Dr. Ngo and his team fixed everything the other dentist had messed up. Right away I knew my wife had been right all along. I've been going to S&L for four years now and they really are the best dental office I've ever been to. Dr. Ngo has removed all my old metal fillings and replaced them with modern ones, plus he's done a couple of crowns for me. Everything looks and feels great. My wife has also been extremely happy with all the work he's done for her too. I'm almost 55 and I've seen a bunch of top-rated, highly recommended dentists over the years, both here in the US and a couple in Mexico. Nothing else comes close. One thing I have to mention is how good Dr. Ngo is with people who hate dental visits or get nervous about pain. His work is excellent, but it's the way he takes care of you that makes the biggest difference. For example, the way he does Novocaine shots is unbelievable. You barely feel it at all. Every dentist out there should learn his technique. With all that said, I do think the front office experience could be better. If the customer service up front matched Dr. David's clearly caring vibe, it would be 100% perfect. If you're looking for a truly professional dentist who gives five-star care and service, this is the place. Dr. David Ngo at S&L is the only one I would recommend without any hesitation.

I chose this dentist because of all the amazing reviews, and so I thought I'd detail my experience…read morebecause it wasn't as perfect as the reviews make it seem. They seem very knowledgable and seem to know what they're doing when it comes to dentistry, but my concerns are more in the administration side of things. I changed jobs earlier this year and got new insurance with a common major insurance provider, and I needed to get a procedure done. I asked them what the procedure would cost and they gave me a quote, which was already expensive, and I paid that at the time of service. However, when I came in for a routine cleaning 6 months later, they said the insurance "didn't pay as much as they thought" and stuck me with MORE THAN DOUBLE their original quote. I looked into the insurance claim and called the insurance company myself, and the insurance company paid exactly what was according to their billing schedule. There were no surprises. I think the office knew (or should have known, because they're the professionals and this is what they do) that this would happen, and they dishonestly gave me a lower quote, did the service, and then stuck me with the even more expensive bill (but to their credit, they did give me a lower price than what they billed to insurance, but it was still VERY expensive that I was not prepared for). Additionally, I distinctly recall the procedure treated four teeth, but then on the bill and insurance claim, they say they treated six. Unfortunately, I don't really know how to argue this, especially because it happened so long ago. I suspect they didn't contact me about this issue earlier for this exact reason. Again, dishonest. Another concern with this dentist is that it's unprofessional that they use Zelle to get around credit/debit card transaction fees. Every merchant has to deal with card transaction fees, they shouldn't be up-charging that cost and they shouldn't be using Zelle, which is supposed to just be a peer-to-peer payment network. Lastly, as much as I love dogs, I don't think it's hygienic that they keep a dog in their office. In all, I started off loving this dentist, and very disappointed that they turned out to be this unprofessional and dishonest. I'm sad I'll have to go elsewhere from now on.

So fast and painless. Best dental experience of my 52 years! Every staff member is kind and…read morefriendly. You will truly be happy if you choose Pima Dental.

I previously had all of my upper teeth redone by Dr. Willman and invested a significant amount of…read moremoney in the process. She did outstanding work, and I truly appreciated her care. Dr Willman is no longer with the practice. Huge, enormous, gigantic loss for Pima Dental. About four months ago, I returned because I needed to molars extracted. Let me note that after the extractions I had fully intended beginning work on all my lower teeth, fully expecting to make another substantial investment. This practice is not inexpensive... in my view it is extremely overpriced (especially after I share what happened below). I was prepared to pay another substantial amount to complete my treatment. I did miss one appointment due to a personal emergency. I attempted to call but was unable to get through, and at the time my focus understandably had to be on the emergency. At my next scheduled appointment, I drove over 45 minutes from north Phoenix. I arrived and had X-rays done, and then met with a dentist who informed me that two teeth would need to be extracted by an oral surgeon and that the procedure could not be done there. While the dentist was courteous, the appointment ultimately resulted in a two-hour round trip simply to be referred elsewhere. I wish this had been communicated to me beforehand. As I was leaving, I was stunned when I was told not to leave and was informed that I owed a $50 missed-appointment fee. Mandy, the office manager, whom I had worked with before made it be known that I needed to pay $50. What disappointed me most was not the amount itself, but the complete lack of empathy or discretion--especially toward a long-standing patient who had already invested heavily in the practice and was prepared to invest significantly more. I understand that offices have cancellation policies. However, patient relationships should involve more than strict enforcement of fees. In my experience, this practice places profits above patient goodwill and patient satisfaction. Between the high costs of treatment and the rigid handling of this situation, it left me feeling that policies mattered more than people. As a business owner myself, I believe long-term trust, empathy, and relationships are what sustain a practice--not nickel-and-diming loyal patients. Unfortunately, this experience has led me to seek care elsewhere for the remainder of my treatment, and I will not be recommending this office moving forward ever again! I hope this feedback is taken constructively. My initial experience here was excellent, attributed primarily to Dr Willman, which makes this outcome all the more disappointing.

I have been seeing Dr. Brad and his hygienist Lilly for a year and a half now. My experiences at…read morethis office have been seamless. This office came highly recommended to me and has exceeded my expectations. If I'm recalling correctly, I have had a total of three cleanings and one filling here, all with Dr. Brad as my dentist. Scheduling is very easy and they follow through when you ask to be placed on a waitlist to get an earlier appointment, which I feel is rare within healthcare. I have anxiety about going to the dentist due to previous bad experiences at different offices and coming here has quelled my anxiety quite a bit. Dr. Brad and his team explain everything before, during, and after doing it and have been very sensitive to my anxiety. I cannot recommend this office enough. As I was checking out at one appointment, I was even given a very large green pen! It's my favorite pen on my desk. Excellent dentist and excellent team!

"Omg... I could cry. There's virtually zero pain considered what has been. My lower jaw is sore, but it's most certainly not painful. There's no swelling really, bleeding has stopped. Most certainly no bruising as of yet. Swelling in the upper left gum feels less than what was static (so grateful). All in all - we're moving. Cycling Tylenol/Ibuprofen and that's managing just fine. Clinical was a breeze today thanks to you and your wonderful team. I'm truly so grateful for you all."

It's been a couple of years since I've been into Dr. Kim's office because I moved out of state. I…read moredidn't realize what an amazing dentist I had until I've had to find someone new. If it were realistic for me to fly to AZ twice a year to see Dr. Kim, I would! I was a patient for many years. Dr. Kim was always kind and gentle. He would check in with me constantly during a procedure to make sure I was comfortable. What I appreciate the most is that he's honest and doesn't force unnecessary procedures. I probably need work on every tooth in my mouth, but Dr. Kim was realistic on what was urgent and what could wait. He never pressured me into having something done unless it was jeopardizing my oral health. I often had a different hygienist, but they all worked to the same high standard. The front office staff was also amazing. They were friendly and helped me find ways to get the best coverage for myself and family.

The front desk staff and the lady who took my X-rays were very kind and helpful. I had an issue…read morewhere my electronic intake form didn't go through, and the front desk was able to quickly help me get everything sorted out. After that, the hygienist came back in to ask me many of the same intake questions again, which felt a bit redundant. During the visit, I also felt the practice was quite expensive, and the dentist strongly recommended veneers for a single chipped tooth, which felt a bit excessive for my situation. When the hygienist measured my gums, the probing felt very uncomfortable and much more forceful than I've experienced anywhere in my entire life, to the point where my gums bled. I did mention it, but the interaction still felt a bit dismissive, and the overall tone came across as less warm than expected. Hard to deal with this coming from a hygienist who had the worst teeth I've seen at a practice. The dentist was professional, but the overall experience didn't feel very comfortable or reassuring for me personally. It just wasn't the right fit for my expectations in a dental office. I wish I had read the reviews before going here ! Lesson learned .
