I was on the hunt for a new dental home after my longtime dentist retired, and I'm SO glad I found…read moreSalinas Valley Dental Care! From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was in good hands. I'll be honest--walking into a new dental office made me a little nervous, but Darci (the assistant) was so warm and welcoming. She gave me a quick little tour and totally helped ease my nerves. It honestly felt like visiting a friend's office! Dr. Goldman was amazing--super knowledgeable and took the time to go over everything with me. She even complimented the onlays and veneers I had done previously, which made me feel like she really noticed the details. AJ, my hygienist, was also fantastic. He was so professional and made me feel completely at ease while taking my oral records. He asked thoughtful questions about my dental habits and even gave me a few helpful flossing tips I hadn't heard before. Plus, the office is beautiful and fully equipped with modern technology and little touches that remind me of my old dentist's place (which I loved). It's also super convenient with my work schedule--huge bonus! If you're looking for a dental office that's professional and personal, I highly recommend Salinas Valley Dental Care. They're officially my new favorite place for that fresh, clean teeth feeling.

My daughter had dental work done at this office that was expected to last at least five years,…read moreaccording to our dental insurance, but it failed in less than one year. When the work fell out, I contacted the office to let them know there was a problem. Because we had since moved out of state and our insurance would not cover the repair, I asked what options might be available. I was told the only way they would address the issue was if I returned to their office in California so they could examine it themselves. Unfortunately, flying back to California would have cost as much as simply paying to have the repair done by a dentist where I now live. I also asked for the dentist who performed the work to call me back, but I never received a call. The lack of follow-through and unwillingness to stand behind their work was very disappointing. Based on this experience, I would not return to this office, even if I moved back to the area!!

I've never described a dental cleaning as relaxing before, but that's exactly how my visit to Next…read moreDentistry felt. Candy, my dental hygienist, was absolutely amazing. 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.

Our whole family recently made the switch over to Salinas Dental Health and have been SO pleased…read morewith our experience. There is little to no wait time upon arriving at our scheduled appointments. Appointments are quick and easy. Every single staff member we engaged with is warm and knowledgeable. A huge win for us is that our kids (11, 8 - we hope to get our 4 year old in soon) all feel really comfortable and at ease when being seen here. We've seen all the dentists and they're all equally great! Their team is always up front and transparent with their findings and if there's any intervention needed, we never feel forced into anything and the front desk is always happy to give pricing/quotes while explaining exactly what's getting billed for. Our 11 year old recently had to get 4 extractions (due to having a small mouth and ortho requested to get them extracted) and Dr. Coe was the GOAT. It was our son's first experience at the dentist for extractions and general anesthesia, and he said he didn't feel anything at all! Dr. Coe (and the whole staff honestly) walked us through everything, made our son feel safe, secure, and seen. What more can you ask for? We anticipate being part of the practice for many many years!

On the first visit (Cleaning & checkup) she was very thorough. She explained everything that she was concerned about and gave me detailed explanations. She answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable. BUT the second visit is was convinced me. I had some dental work done and she had to numb my mouth... I didn't want to mention that I was nervous about the shot, but to tell you the truth, I didn't even feel it! It was great!!!!! As the other review mentioned, she is a young doctor, but don't be fooled, she knows what she's talking about! She is very professional and shows that she truly cares. I feel very comfortable with her because she's not the type that just wants your money. She truly cares. I'm glad I found such a great dentist and I'm glad to know that she will be around for a long time!

Kerri - Thank you…read morefor your response. I understand that insurance companies determine how much they reimburse for out-of-network providers. However, your office determines its own fees. Because your practice is not contracted with my insurance, you are not limited by negotiated in-network rates, which allows you to charge significantly higher fees. The result is that patients are left responsible for very large out-of-pocket balances. My concern is not with how much my insurance paid. My concern is with the amount your office chose to charge. Even with two excellent dental insurance plans, we were still left with an extremely high balance. In all the years we've had dental coverage, including while living in the Bay Area, we've never experienced fees this high.thank you for reaching out my family and have established care Monterey dental office.
