Feb 10, 2026 I am…read morevery happy with my regular dentist Nadia Navid, as I have been going to her for over 15 years. During my last check-up, it was determined that I needed a root canal on the #30 molar, and I was given a choice of Orest M Balytsky, DMD, in Petaluma (who retired some time ago), and a married endodontic couple in Santa Rosa (forgot their names). I called the Petaluma one to get a rough estimate and was quoted $2906. So I called Santa Rosa and was quoted $3405. Both seemed a little high to me and when I mentioned it to two friends, they agreed. I then chatted with my neighbor, and she said that her husband and daughter went to Dr. Mark Roper on Cypress, and they were very pleased with him, and she suggested I call. THAT WAS THE BEST DECISION I COULD'VE MADE! The quote from Beverly, the receptionist, was almost $500 cheaper than Dr. Balytsky, and almost $800 cheaper than the Santa Rosa one. I made an appointment and immediately felt confident with Dr. Ropper, and his dental tech, Amy, and when he checked my tooth, he said I didn't need the scan -- saving me $150 right there!!! To make a long story short, I just got home and could've been happier -- not just the reasonable cost (total $2490) but the professional treatment and overall experience. (2 weeks after my root canal, I learned from another friend how happy he was with Dr. Roper.) As Beverly explained, Dr. Roper does not have multiple partners or office locations and doesn't have a huge staff -- just Amy and Beverly. I can't recommend Dr. Mark Roper and I hope my dentist, Dr. Navid, takes note of my 5-star experience/rating, and recommends her other patients to this excellent practice. She owes it to her patients -- and not just for cost reasons.

She was so friendly and good with him, she had some stuffed animals off to the side and she let him grab them and take them to the exam chair. She allowed me to hold him while she examined, treated and made me relieved with his condition. Again, very knowledgeable, conservative and informative. Thanks DR. Boyer - see you soon.

I was referred to Dr. Boyer by a colleague after years (8!) of not having dental insurance and not a lot of room in my budget to keep up on annual exams. Dr. Boyer was non-judgmental, gentle, and very good at explaining each and every procedure that needed done (a few cavities and two crowns). Dr. Boyer started on the easiest stuff first, to get me used to being in a dental chair again. She took breaks whenever I needed them! Dr. Boyer's office staff is also excellent, and I've never had a problem with their billing and my insurance company; I show up every 6 months to friendly faces! I highly recommend Dr. Boyer to anyone seeking great dental care. I wish her and her office staff the very best!

I had high hopes for this dental office when I first started going. At the time, I was living in…read morePetaluma and wanted to make the most of my benefits to stay on top of my dental health. My first visit went smoothly -- I had a cracked filling that was repaired without much issue, and it gave me a sense of confidence in the practice. That changed quickly. The doctor convinced me to place a crown on a tooth that had previously undergone a root canal. My prior dentist had been monitoring it and wasn't in a rush to do anything, but this provider made it sound like a necessary next step for my health. I trusted that advice. But from there, the entire experience became a mess. What should have been two appointments turned into four. I had to come back repeatedly because the temporary crowns kept cracking -- twice. Each time I tried to communicate that something felt off, that it was uncomfortable and gross to have a cracked piece in my mouth, I was met with attitude -- like I was an inconvenience. I wasn't being dramatic; I was just asking for care that should have been basic. What made it worse is that every visit felt rushed. I came in kind of urgently for the final crown because the temporary had come out again, and she barely looked me in the eye. While placing the permanent crown, she let dental debris and chemical dust fall on my face. At one point, she even grabbed my face abruptly. The whole interaction lacked any gentleness or bedside manner. Going to the dentist puts you in a vulnerable position -- you're literally lying down, mouth open, trusting that someone will care for you. After spending close to $2,000 with insurance, the bare minimum I expected was kindness and attention to detail. Instead, I was dismissed repeatedly when the temporaries fell apart, made to feel like I was a nuisance, and given treatment that felt rushed and careless. To top it off, all services must be paid for upfront, and despite the inconvenience and multiple return visits, there was no offer of compensation -- not even a basic toothbrush. And I was now driving close to 40 minutes each way after moving, just trying to get the work finished. I don't know if it's the materials she uses, but the quality felt low, and even now with the permanent crown in, it looks nice but I don't feel confident in the work. I honestly felt compelled to leave this review, which isn't something I normally do. But this was a stressful and disappointing experience -- and not one I would ever choose to go through again.

I have been going to NBS for over a decade. Their past team was wonderful. I developed a serious…read morehealth condition 5 years ago that makes me allergic to perfumes and heavily scented items. When I told the dentist I had an allergic react to one of her staffs perfume she said nothing and was not concerned. It was why I put my cleaning off. There was no respect show to areas that were super sensitive since having Invisalign done, When I was getting my teeth cleaned two weeks ago the doctor hit two spots cleaning my teeth --which sent nerve pain in my mouth---making me nearly jump out of the chair, She then tried to clean that area again stating, "I thought I would sneak in there again" when I was clearly in pain. The staff is not trauma informed and I would avoid this dentist, especially if you have dental trauma. Also, the work is not as good as it used to be. A filling should not be falling out after only three years--and the work should be on the dentist to fix if their work does not last longer then this.
