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.

The price was very affordable.

I've came to him for wisdom teeth removal, cavities, and root canals... Sad to say I am indeed a yuck mouth but my father and I are thankful to have doc by our side.

After my exam they scheduled my cleaning (I should have RUN when they wouldn't do the cleaning same day as my exam). After I left I was called and told that I needed to go elsewhere for my cleaning bc Dr Rakshak would not do the cleaning. Everyone at the office and the dentist himself were INCREDIBLY rude. I asked for my x rays so I wouldn't have to be exposed to the radiation again and they refused to release them without charging me $150. Stay far far far away!!!

Outstanding Care and Service…read more My family and I have been loyal patients of Diamond Dental of Salinas since 2014. Working in healthcare leadership, I truly appreciate the clinic's commitment to excellent protocols, patient education and exceptional customer service. The staff are always accommodating, professional, and make us feel at home every visit. Every procedure is explained thoroughly, all questions are addressed, and we're always given clear options for care. The quality of dental work and Dr. Rosales' years of expertise are what keep us coming back, over 10 years of consistently superb care speaks for itself. Highly recommended!

As someone who is terrified of going to the dentists, I would not trust any other dentist asides from her. She is very kind and professional with her staff and patients.

If you're searching for high quality dental care in the Salinas area, I highly recommend Diamond Dental!

Don't bother with this place. I had an appointment set for 3pm, that I showed up for at 2:45pm and…read moreI didn't even get acknowledged until 4:25pm... there was no receptionist just a hand written sign that said to wait they will help you "shortly" almost 2 hours is not shortly. When I finally got seen the assistant was asking why I'm even there what do I want them to do without knowing who I was lol shouldn't it be documented as it's an appointment... anyways I tell her it's for a check up because I have tooth pain in the left side of my face and she wants to know specifically what teeth and I say I'm not sure if feels like the whole left side at times and she looks at me like I'm doing something wrong because I don't know? I guess they wanted to close up an hour earlier than they're supposed to because she kept asking "is this something you neeeeed done today?" "So what do you want to do?" Uhm I said yes I'd like to do my checkup I can't tell what the problem is and asked do you not want to do my checkup? So she begrudgingly started the photos but went on and on about how I should be nicer?? lol I didn't even MENTION that I waited 2 hours for my 3pm appointment and they're mad that I had the audacity to show up to my appointment? The dental assistant seemed super high on something the whole time she was mentally and physically slow and looked like she was spacing out the whole time asking weird questions.. the doctor himself was straight forward and found the problem tooth, but afterwards the only question I had was when can I schedule the work to be done and they say oh we can make the follow up now! Then jsut didn't?... they said nvm we'll call you lol what a joke, sorry for showing up to my appointment on time and inconveniencing you!

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Coastal Dental Care in Salinas. They referred me…read moreto a specialist for a root canal, and after the procedure, the specialist informed Coastal Dental that my molar needed a crown. That recommendation was apparently disregarded. Approximately one month later, the molar cracked, and I lost the tooth. Coastal Dental then claimed they knew nothing about the specialist's request for a crown. Regardless of where the communication failed, I am the one who suffered the permanent consequences. Based on my experience, there is a serious lack of communication, coordination, and proper follow-up at this office. I did not feel that I received personalized care. My impression was that the focus was more on money and numbers than on the patient. I cannot recommend Coastal Dental Care. Losing a tooth after treatment--when a specialist had recommended a crown--was unacceptable. I STRONGLY suggest looking elsewhere for dental care.

Incompetent office manager. Do not go here they commit billing fraud, they take advantage of people…read moreand will lie about everything I am still dealing with this office for a balance that shouldn't even be on file anymore for my parent. I even got the insurance involved due to filing a grievance and the case is "closed and resolved" yet when the insurance tried to call and justify the amount they were told the office was unable to provide the insurance information because they aren't the patient. Okay, but they're the insurance company? They're doing their job calling on behalf of the patient to correct the billing but western dental flat out refused to provide any information. Unfortunately parents don't have many other options for in network providers due to insurance otherwise we would have never gone here. I actually ended up finding an independent dentist who gave me a better estimate for the same services western dental was trying to rip us off over. Can you contact me?? I've already filed a grievance against that office so it's pointless to call. Your office manager basically told me to leave because the case is closed and didn't want to handle it anymore, she said there's nothing to do since it's my insurances decision however the grievance I filed was for $1500ish and the insurance DENIED $500ish and your office is charging $1600 and REFUSED to provide our insurance any additional information to justify that amount. That $1500ish was for a retainer impression which was cancelled the same day back in February! Your office said it was up to the discretion of the dentist to authorize the cancelled contract. The last conversation I had IN PERSON at your office last month in July I was told it was his COPAY for the deep cleaning even though we have EOBs stating otherwise which state both insurances covered the cleaning. Your office manager keeps saying the copay is for different things, first it was a retainer impression for my parents upper bridge, this last time in person she said it was his deep cleaning copay, those are two completely different things! And that's what I'm calling fraud because you can't say it's for one thing and then another especially when I'm recording all the documentation from every conversation I've been having with you guys. Our insurance called for an itemized statement which your billing department specifically told me to ask your office for and they refused to provide that to the insurance company like how is that legal? Your corporate office is just as useless, I've spoke to grievance, billing and customer service and no one wants to help or "has access" to anything. You guys are really making it difficult to get the account adjusted for SERVICES NOT RECEIVED! Your office didn't even provide a copy of the treatment plan and are refusing to cooperate with our insurance.

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!!
