As a veteran, I hold businesses to a basic standard of respect and professionalism -- neither of…read morewhich I experienced here. I was charged $75 for an appointment that they asked me about while sitting in the dental chair. When I questioned it, I was met with a cold, dismissive, and borderline rude response(plenty of emails). No willingness to listen, no accountability -- just an inflexible attitude and a "policy is policy" tone. I wasn't a longtime patient, but I had considered becoming one. After this experience, I wouldn't recommend this office to anyone. If this is how they treat new patients -- especially a veteran -- I can only imagine what's in store long-term. There's a reason they're sitting at a 3.9. I should've taken that as a warning. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRACTICE!!!!

If you're looking for a phenomenal dentist, look no further! I came to Dr. Melgosa several years…read moreback after my prior dentist told me I had 9 cavities. At this point I was almost 30 and never had a cavity! I came to Dr. Melgosa, and he told me I had the start of 1, not 9! He was honest, kind, and took great care of me. I've been coming back ever since! Yesterday I had my second filling ever! I didn't feel a thing. He made sure to explain every step, was gentle and took good care. He also had a great staff! Beautiful office, you can watch Netflix while they clean your teeth! This practice is well developed, has a great design and it's clear Dr. Melgosa takes pride in his business and his work. Thank you Dr. Melgosa!

Sometimes you forget that dentist's are like, SUPER interesting people…read more It was my first time here and I came for a routine check in and cleaning. Right away, I was greeted with a great smile. The lady at the front desk was clearly busy, but that didn't stop her from being attentive and friendly. Lovely welcome desk. As soon as I'm called back, I'm greeted by another friendly smile ( I believe "Maria"), and she tells me that she will be the one taking care of my X-Rays and photos. She was eager to chat, and even gave me some really interesting insight into their new camera system. Another lovely person. I'm then greeted by the lady who will be doing my cleaning, as well as Dr. Amethyst Schlecht. Dr. Amethyst Schlecht is very well spoken and engaging. She had a knowledgeable answer for every question, and never made me feel uncomfortable. Her inspection was quick but thorough, and I walked away feeling like the visit was comprehensive. The female dentist who did my cleaning (I'm bad with names, sorry!) was extremely friendly and equally as knowledgeable. I hadn't been to the dentist in years, so she really needed to put some work into the cleaning. However, she managed to keep it comfortable and basically pain free--other than the usual tugging and poking that is necessary. I think my favorite part was how everyone seemed super happy and eager to share knowledge with me. Every question was met with an answer. I felt like I was talking to enthusiasts, not just bored people at a job they never wanted. Perfect first time experience. Looking forward to coming back in 6 months! Cheers

They will tell you one thing a month or two prior (as I had to "wait for the specialist" and my…read moreschedule), then show up for a crown in my file, with the specialist to look at my tooth (15 minutes after my appointment time), but I couldn't get a crown as he recommended I need a root canal, she (Dr. Amethyst) recommended I should do a root canal or replacement/fake tooth at $1500+. I took a day off work to make the appointment (to have a crown) but Dr. Amethyst didn't even remember me (READ MY FILE) probably worried about making more money to support her son going to OU (Oklahoma University) to play golf and her last minute flight planes to watch him play (yes I am in the business to remember people). The people in the office are awesome, like Rochelle that assisted me today when I paid my tab to leave. Good Luck to Dr. Rice and his practice. I won't be back! I'd rather go to Western Dental!

I have been a patient of Turlock Smiles for over 5 years and have always appreciated my care there…read more Turlock Smiles has expanded and the transition was not easy even for me as a patient. I have had several different dentists since I have been there and was not overly satisfied with my previous dentist. But I wanted to let you know that the team of dentists they have now are exceptional. Dr. Parkash and Dr. Singh are genuine people and do care about the health and needs of their patients. I am grateful for the care that Dr. Parkash and Dr. Singh provide. If you're looking for exceptional care, I suggest getting an appointment scheduled with them.

He knows he does not grind his teeth. That much for a nightgard? Ripoff.

I went to this dentist because my parents went there and it was a walking distance from our house…read more They did my initial exam and booked another appointment for cleaning. They took my insurance card and said the first visit will be free. Couple week later I receive a bill from them for $60. I called them to find out what happened. The lady told me that they were out of network so I have to pay the bill. I asked her why she did not tell me when I went there. She said she did not know but it was my responsibility to pay the bill. I tried to talk to Dr. Rodig, they told me he was busy so I gave them my number for him to call me. It has been 2 weeks he never called me. My dad tried calling him but got the same reply. So now for $60 this Dentist will be loosing 3 customers. I guess this is how they do business. My parents say their experience was nothing spectacular with this doctor but they will not go there anymore because of this incident and they wanted to try the new Turlock Family Dentistry on the corner of Geer road and Christopherson. With this review I am not persuading anyone not to go here but just giving my experience with this dentist and just be aware that if they send you a bill, whether it is correct or not, they expect you to pay.
