I would strongly advise people to avoid Dr. Roncone's office. Their billing practices are some of the worst I've experienced with any medical provider. They charge a 3% credit card fee, which is especially frustrating when you're paying with an FSA card that's specifically meant for medical expenses. On top of that, there always seem to be additional fees layered into the bill. The impression I got is that the focus of this office is far more on collecting money than taking care of patients. Transparency around costs is poor, and the overall experience left me feeling like a transaction rather than a patient. There are plenty of dentists out there who treat patients with respect and don't nickel-and-dime them with unnecessary charges. I would not recommend this office and suggest looking elsewhere. read more

I had gum desease and required laser gum surgery. I was afraid. But, Dr Roncone helped me understand the need to repair my gums and I accepted her recommendation. I have not been happier with my teeth and dental care. She is a consummate professional, very knowledgeable and careful. My gums have made a big comeback as she had promised they would. I've never looked forward to going to the dentist. I do now. Haven't missed an appointment in 2 years. read more

Her staff, following her example, are friendly and professional. To my friends who inquire I've giver her my highest 5 star recommendation. read more

I have been with Dr. Roncone's office for over 20 years. As someone who has severe anxiety they have never been more accommodating and pleasant to me. I have to go every 3 months and everyone in the office treats me with kindness and respect. Dr. Roncone makes it a point to talk to me and remembers what's going.on in my life and asks about my kids. Even though it is quick she still makes sure to add those personal touches. read more

My son needed a frenectomy. We made an appointment, and went in. Before the procedure, I was given an invoice for over $500. I asked if they had contacted my insurance. The billing person seemed upset, and said "I thought you didn't have insurance?" Not sure where they got that idea. She said that it takes 3 weeks to get insurance to approve the procedure. We left, because I'm not paying out of pocket, when that's the whole reason for having insurance. I did not have a good feeling about the whole exchange. We ended up going to a different periodontist. It took them 10 minutes to get approval from my insurance, and the procedure was done. read more

Dishonest and unethical. Do not go to this dentist! Had a horrible experience with her and will never go back. Very consistent with the experiences of other dissatisfied patients here on Yelp. It's very true that she focuses on "selling" and convincing you to go to her, but then once she has your money you mean nothing, and if you complain, she will gaslight you and blame you for mistakes that are very clearly her fault. She made some very big mistakes with us and then blamed us for "misunderstanding" her (and really everything else she could think of). We have no problems with comprehension and did nothing wrong. I'm glad I'm a strong person because someone in a more vulnerable situation might be too scared to ever get dental care again after being treated so poorly. She is extremely condescending and acts like you're stupid if you don't agree with her or you call her out about lying to you. Then she tells you you're the one lying! And now she is demanding payment in order for us to access our medical records and is unreasonably delaying getting them to us. Seriously considering reporting her. PS she is actively trying to get bad reviews taken down and will lie to do so. If you try to get this removed I'll just keep posting it, Dr. Roncone, as there is nothing wrong with it. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Dr Roncone and the staff. She was kind and professional. The work she did was a success and after two days of expected pain, it wore off and healing was complete. The staff was conscientious and kind. I'm confused about the bad reviews, I didn't experience anything but friendly professionalism. read more

I was very impressed with Dr. Roncone and her entire staff! Dr. Roncone was very thorough in my initial exam and assessment. She is also a very kind and caring doctor and took ample time explaining her conclusions and my options for treatment. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Roncone for about 5 years. I had my teeth cleaned every 3 months. After my visit this fall I was in a lot of pain. I called to be seen and she would NOT see me. Said the next available date was in a month. I had to find a different dentist to help me. It's ridiculous and unacceptable. No loyalty at all to long term-existing clients. She and her staff were aware that I was in agony with no sympathy at all. read more

Dr. Roncone is awesome! She did a laser procedure on me and it worked very well. I find her and her office staff very pleasant and accommodating. She seems like a kind and caring person to me and very professional. Her office person Carol is also very helpful and worked with me to manage the reimbursement for the procedure so I could maximize my insurance benefit. Very fine Peridontist. I read some of the one star reviews and I have to say that my experience has been nothing like those. read more

I highly recommend her to other patients. Thank you doctor! read more

Everything is fine until the guaranteed work is needed, then she throws everyone under the bus and the charges continue. I will be taking her to small claims court. I have recording of her staff lying about what was and was not done. Talks a good show, but when it comes to taking responsibility for her actions and mistakes, you get the bill for that... NOT Recommended. read more

I want to preface my review by saying I'm sure Tinou is very knowledgeable and is an expert in her field. However, the experience I had at her office was one of the worst dental visits I've ever had. She simply comes off so cold and condescending, I felt like I was wasting her time by coming in. I have a great deal of anxiety surrounding dentists and it took me a lot of courage to come in and the way I was treated made me feel so small and hopeless. During the exam to check my teeth and gums she cut my lip with her tool and didn't even apologize. I had to ask her if my lip would be okay and she brushed me off saying it'd be fine. After the checkup we went into her side office and she scolded me for not taking better care of my teeth and gums. I felt so ashamed as I was trying to help myself get better by coming to her and instead was reprimanded for not doing more when I was a teenager. Why scold me about the past? It's already happened I can't go back and change it. She then proceeded to tell me that I'd likely develop heart disease and dementia as I got older, which was so awful to hear, and immediately jumped to surgery options. She didn't even offer me anything else, just went straight to surgery. I felt like she was telling me she had no hope for my case and defaulted to the worst case scenario. She didn't encourage me to get or do better. I don't feel like I was listened to or given the time to process what she had told me. It seriously felt like she just wanted me out of there as quickly as possible and posed surgery as my only option so she could make money off me as a patient. I've never cried so much after a dental appointment and am never going back to her office. Thinking of going back makes me feel terrible. It's not enough just to be book smart, have some compassion. When your doctor doesn't believe in your case it's hard to believe you'll get better. My situation has since improved greatly after going to a different dentist where the staff is so kind, understanding, and encouraging. If there's one thing I've learned from visiting Tinou's office is what NOT to look for in any future healthcare I seek. read more

I was very disappointed with my experience with Dr. Roncone. In my experience, Dr. Roncone seemed set in her ways, uncompassionate, and unaccommodating. I recommend looking elsewhere to find a dentist or periodontist who listens well and tries to meet the unique needs of each patient. read more

Dr. Roncone was reccomended to me by my regular dentist (Dr. Yap). The office and staff are very pleasant, and Dr. Roncone herself is incredibly professional with a great "chairside" manor. I had LAN gum work done and was very pleased with the procedure itself. MUCH better than getting your gums cut old school style. read more

Had a crown lengthening surgery. Work was done well, satisfied with that. A bit over priced for or area average and she has a bit of an attitude. Come to find out my insurance covered way less than the original 'estimate'. Asked for a discount and was called back saying the doctor said no. I would've even been happy with $50 off, instead it makes me not want to go back or refer friends and family. If someone has enough pride to ask for a monetary discount, you'd think some compassion would be offered. Nope. I'd say 3.5 stars.. read more

My husband was referred here for a gum problem. After taking many x-rays that he told her the referring dentist had just taken, she charged him over $300 for the honor of providing him with an enormous estimate and nothing else. We found a different dentist that was able to help him for a reasonable price, and the new dentist said none of the recommended treatment on her estimate was needed! She may actually be a very good dentist but I would not recommend her if you're on a budget! read more

While Dr. Roncone was a fine surgeon I am highly disappointed in her and her office. I was told that my insurance would pay 100% of a procedure. I later received a bill for $330. When I questioned the bill I was told that the office staff had made a mistake and written down the wrong amount of money I had left for my dental allowance for the year. They apologized and said it was their error but I still owed the money. I asked if we could split the cost and I was told no. Even though it was her office staffs mistake they are still holding me responsible for the entire amount of the bill. I DO NOT recommend this office and will never return. read more

everything goes fine until they give you a surprise bill in the mail and tack on finance charges. I specifically asked before we went how much the procedure cost and paid cash. asked on the way out once again if there is anything I owe? "no sir, your all set" then get a bill in the mail for nearly 200.00 really?! with fees and finance charges tacked on. nice racket you guys have there. I will never bring any of my family there again, and will never have anything going good to say about this office. Just get ready for your surprise bill in the mail. paid in full including your "fees and finance charges" hope this review cost you business in the future. read more

Fresh graduating from dental school, I worked for Dr.Roncone for almost a year, until I realize that dental wasn't for me. Anyways a few things I will say working for her is that, the reasons why I'd recommend her to anyone is #1 she's honest. Yes, She's straight forward which she should be, If your going to a Periodontist office most of the time your teeth are getting to the point of almost falling out on their own so she needs to be direct in explaining to you what caused it and what needs to be done to prevent them from falling out, so you understand the importance. Secondly she will not do any treatments unless you need it! I saw patients coming in on their own to get a consultation without a referral and she was honest and told them a few areas to focus on when brushing , ect.. And sent them on their way. She understands treatment is expensive so she won't have you pay a fortune unless necessary. She's extremely big on sanitation so you don't ever have to worry about barriers not being placed or suctions being cleaned out. To end this, review. I would highly recommend her to anyone . Your in good hands if you're her patient read more

Having known Dr. Tinou Roncone for more than 22 years, I am extremely confident in categorically stating that the Temecula Valley is very fortunate to have as skillful, knowledgeable, compassionate and experienced a dental specialist in the field of periodontology and implant dentistry as she. Dr. Roncone's committment and dedication to providing her patients with the finest evidence-based care utilizing state of the art technologies as well as best practices proven over time makes her stand alone among her peers in the region. She is the only periodontist and dental implant surgeon board-certified by the American Board of Periodontology in the Temecula Valley. With the increasingly important impact that having chronic inflammatory diseases such as periodontitis (gum diseases) has on one's overall health and longevity through the increased risks for all of the diseases of aging including heart disease, cardiovascular disease and every form of cancer, the stakes have never been higher. Choosing a periodontist of Dr. Tinou Roncone's caliber may be one of the most important healthcare decisions you ever make. read more
