The dentist and her assistant was so kind and gentle. They know how I have this phobia about needles and they were very reassuring and settled me down, and it was a very pleasant. read more

Zero stars! The worst dentist ever! I am stuck with a hideous crown that is way; too big and too long. My smile is now ruined and I'm embarrassed to open my mouth! Extremely poor workmanship that looks nothing like my natural tooth did. You are warned! read more

I was a new patient with them. I called and let them know. I had a toothache and I'm 70 years old and it was really painful. They told me I could not get in until June 10 that's a month and a half away then I called the next day and asked can I be on the list of cancellation? The lady was rude. I could hear she was typing. She wasn't paying attention to my needs, and she says well if you're in a lot of pain, you could go to urgent care or the emergency room??? well what do they have to do with teeth? I am so disappointed and they are not welcoming people. I had to call and be reassigned to somewhere else and I did find an office that was very nice and they got me in the next day! read more

My first appointment was at one o'clock they got there at one thirty. They were at Olive Garden and the female dentist was drunk. I had a deep cleaning done $1200.oo dollars for fifteen minutes in the chair. And they were not clean. What a rip off. She kept saying stuff about my white dentist. Like that's what you get for going to a white dentist. My ex dentist was Indian. I had a tooth pulled by this dirty smelly Mexican who couldn't speak English. He left bone spurs sticking out of my gums. so she tried to grind it down with no novocaine. I stood up and she pushed me back down and started grinding on my gum. Blood started to run every where. I had to take her by the neck to get her off me. She smelt like tequila. I walked out and never returned. She is a very ugly and scary sub-human. read more

Wow the doctor has an attitude I see why this place has bad reviews lol Idk how he's a dentist he's very disrespectful and rude. i do not recommend this place So unprofessional read more

Worst dentist ever, made wait 3 weeks with a bad tooth just to cancel my appointment the day before, finally got in and the exam light wouldn't work and the dentist didn't either said I had to be sent out to get a root canal. No patient care like hey can we give you antibiotics to help with the infection. The tweaker looking girl that does the payments and appointments is RUDE and clearly has no personality. Waste of my time and money my advice DO NOT go here. Find a REAL dentist who has equipment that works and a professional staff. read more

Well this practice has some real issues going on starting with the dentist. Was set for some simple extraction work today. Had previously met with the dentist, explained in no meds and he told me I was ahead of the game and ready. My wife got a call thurs afternoon around 4:30 ( their closed on fridays ) asking for a doctors restless and gave out information without my permission ( violates HIPPA laws ). Don't trust this place. He says one thing then does another. I feel sorry for his staff having to take the issues and not himself. read more

Very unprofessional! I called in to ask a question about seeing if I could reschedule my appointment for a later time and she said I already had the latest time, so I said ok never mind I'll just keep my appointment and she said she can't cause she just gave it away! She literally gave my appointment away while I was still on the phone! Then she said there was no other appointments for 2 months! Then she said she could give me a sooner appointment next month and I said okay,, then she said "oh no they told me I can't do that." Seriously! So UNPROFESSIONAL and rude too! I'll find myself a new Dentist these people are AMATEURS read more

The best dentist and staff I had in a while. I remember being in much more pain filling a cavity last time. Deep cleaning was very smooth and quick Thanks everyone read more

I had an appointment for 10:00 AM this morning at the Palm Dental office in Turlock. I had received two email messages reminding me of that appointment, I arrived there a few minutes early. I left again at 10:15 when there was still nobody on duty at the office. It is now past 11:00 and there is still no answer to telephone calls to the office. This is very discourteous. This experience has reinforced my previous decision to try to find another dentist covered by my medical-dental insurance. If it were possible to give a zero star rating, I would do so. read more

If I can give this review a 0 I would. They messed up my teeth and ended up costing me over 2000$ with a better dentist that actually knows what they are doing. I went in for a cavity cleaning and filling on my 2nd molar last year.. I thought the problem was resolved until I started to get pain again about a month ago. Thinking the filling fell out and it was no biggy, I went to Palm dental again to check on my tooth. They say it's badly decayed and I need a root canal. Furiously I look up a better dentist and was confirmed that I needed a root canal and that the previous dentist (Palm dental) did not clean me tooth, they just put a filling causing the tooth to decay from the inside. Thank you Palm dental for costing me a root canal. I definitely don't recommend this place! read more

ZERO! Stars I came in as a new Patient not going on yelp to a to see how this place is. The worst experience here. RUN I repeat RUN! I had an appointment to pull my wisdom tooth, it's a big deal for me I went in on the day of my appointment. I was scared the technician asked to take two more pictures of my tooth which I thought was weird, because you recommend me to pull my tooth you should know what you're looking at. It wasn't her fault that I left numbed on both side with the loose wisdom tooth in pain!!!!!! not knowing where to go next because this place did not send me to an oral surgeon they sent are you home with the list with 4 numbers on it to call!( Western dental) OK, in pain and a little stressed about how am I going to get this tooth pulled out, I'm going to go back to work tomorrow... I should've gotten up and took off when the technician told me my root was really high up on my nasal. So asked her should I take it out?? The Dr. There Took one look at the x-ray and said. yes, I could take it out.. pulled on my tooth for 20 minutes stopped and told me. you need to go to an oral surgeon. I was pissed! If anybody knows of a lawsuit going on at this place please add me! read more

Absolutely run as fast as you can the other way! Would give 0 stars! The worst dental office I have ever been to. Worst dentist EVER! He is brutal! He is rude! He has a bad temper and does horrible work! His shots hurt like hell! Could not open my mouth very far or chew for about a week! I had paid in advance for the work to be done. Mistake! They managed to screw up every single procedure, every mould they took had to be redone because the crowns were never right! To this day they still are not right, hurts to chew! One was redone 3 times, still not right! I needed quite a bit done, they managed to screw up every single thing they did. After 5 crowns I told them they all still were not right they were hurting ti chew, then they said well you probably need root canals! I did not need root canals I needed them to do the crowns correctly! Why would you need to go through all of that then be told you need a root canal and then have to pay for that all over again! They should know from ex-rays if you need root canals in the first place!! I also needed a nightguard, they screwed that up also! I asked for my money back on that, they refused, said it was my fault! I am in worse shape than before I went in! WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! read more

I GIVE THEM ZERO !!!The dentist is rude and has horrible bed side manners. He also acts like a child, throwing instruments across the room. Stay away!! Cheap work. Never gets it done right then blames you for his mistakes. His staff is also rude. I read the reviews on how bad he was but thought I would try anyway. BAD MISTAKE. If you read this just know all the bad reviews you read about this place is true. They don't deserve to be in business. read more

I wouldn't give 0 stars if possible. What a awful place this is. The "dentist" is just horrible. The dental assistants are just as bad. I came here to obviously get some dental work done, and had the worst experience ever. Upon arrival I needed to get x rays done the xray tech was totally clueless how to take an xray she blamed it on the room we were in. She had to retake a number of xrays. The cord attached to the part that goes in my mouth kept getting caught on everything she was trying to move my head while that cord was pulling my the other way causing the xray pad in my mouth to cut my gums. Once that was done the dentist came in dentist even say hi or introduced him self just started putting his hands in my mouth. He said I needed a few filings. So I left with another opponent to get the work done. The next visit is where it gets good. I went back to get a few of those fillings done. He "fixed" one and literally patched the other one I mean I have a hole in my tooth and he just patched over it WHAT IS THAT ABOUT he didnt drill out the decay or clean it by any means. The filling he fill turned out to be very deep. I knew as soon as he was done something was wrong. He drilled so far into my tooth he reached the nerve and put the filling right on the nerve causing non stop pain, j was told pain was normal give it 2 weeks and I did. I had to go back and tell them it's been 3 weeks with pain. The dentist said I should "just go get a root canal" in san Jose at that...... he didn't e eh look at the tooth just gave me antibiotics and sent me on my way. From aug.13 to Oct. 3 i had been in so much pain it was effecting my everyday activities I got my teeth fixed at a different dental office . This office also missed a number of other cavities I needed to treat. I had gone to 2 other dental offices to get different opinions. Palm dental neglects it patients misses number of important things on my mouth. The staff is unprofessional the are all having high school conversations rather then focusing on their patients. I do not ever reccomend this office for even minor dental work. Do not come here it will just make your problems worse. I have reported this office to the dental broad. Hope something is done about this. read more

This is a place to come and feel good about going to the dentist. They are very informative and keep you in the loop with every step . My fear of the dentist is gone . The staff made me feel so at ease , made the process so quick and comfortable. I will be back , I've found a new dentist , yay!! Keep up the great amazing job everyone at Palm Dental Group . So glad I finally went to the dentist after not going for way too long due to lousy care by previous places , making me fearful of the dentist but not anymore . :) Thank you !!!!!!!!! read more

We just recently visited and the dental assistant made my daughter feel very uncomfortable about the amount of cavities she had. My daughter is only fourteen and when my daughter reacted to being told how many cavities she had, the assistant said, "Don't raise your eyebrows at me." The dentist also made a comment saying, "Are you in pain?" My daughter replied, "No," and he replied with, "Do you want to be in pain?" We switched dentists the next day because these people are so rude and unprofessional. The only positive here was that the front desk staff is very friendly. The one star given is for them. read more

Stay as far away from this place as you can. They will try every angle to gouge you into having as much work done as they can. As another yelper stated, I would also give this outfit 0 stars if possible!! read more

I'm 53 years old, recently moved to Turlock CA from the East coast and have had numerous cleanings through the years. Every cleaning I have ever had has taken at lest 45 minutes to an hour with a complete diagnosis of my gums and teeth along with thoroughly cleaning each individual tooth with an ultrasound removing any and all stains. I know for a fact that it is necessary to use the ultrasound on all of the teeth. They spent more time taking x-rays because I guess they can make more money from the insurance company, in my case medi-Cal. My past cleanings I would come out with a smooth, clean feeling, but not with this place..My feeling is that they either don't know what they are doing, or did not care because I did not have regular insurance, I only had medi-Cal. Regardless, I will never go back. read more

This is a great office with a very nice dentist, he is gentle and kind. The staff is also very nice as well! The office is kept very nice and there wasn't a long wait at all. I am very happy with the service here and I definitely plan on coming back. Thank you guys! read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! They are SCAM artists. I have already notified medical! They gave me an x-ray at Palm Dental Group and they told me I had periodontal disease ( a disease that eats away at your gums and makes your teeth fall out. If not treated can go into the bloodstream and kill you) and was in need of a root canal. Seana at the front desk tried scaring me into making an apt and told me to avoid kissing my son or feeding him with my utensils because I could transfer it to him. I was mortified, to say the least!!! I have always had a regular dentist apt and regularly brushed my teeth. So I knew to get a second and third point of view. I was told by the other two dentists that this was 100% FALSE INFORMATION and all that I had was five small cavities. Which means that Palm Dental were going to give me an unneeded root canal and send me to a "periodontist" for NO REASON except to make money because Medical doesn't cover those things. I should have known when the "doctor" came out or when I saw periodontal disease pamphlets all around the room. If you don't believe me at least make sure you get a second opinion. I know I'm glad I did! I hope that Palm dental gets shut down for making up false information!!!! read more
