I called back and explained my situation to Isabel, who was incredibly helpful. She was able to get me in for a consultation later that same week and scheduled my root canal for the very next day. Dr. Ebeid was straightforward and honest about my condition and the risks involved because of the location of the nerve. I appreciated his direct approach, which helped me make an informed decision. I'm so glad I chose to save the tooth instead of having it extracted. Just three days after the procedure, my pain is gone, and I'm able to eat comfortably again. The entire team was professional, caring, and efficient. The office has a welcoming atmosphere, and I'm grateful for the excellent care I received. I highly recommend Dr. Ebeid and his staff and will definitely return for any future dental needs.

And his staff, including my favorite hygienist of all time Lynne, are fantastic. The practice is extremely busy, so it's not advised to miss appointments because they are scheduled so far in advance. As with any good dentist, this is usually the case. As for the other review, it's not their problem you couldn't keep an appointment. For everyone else, Gary is the best!

As for Dr. McDowell he has changed my life in the best possible way. For many years I never smiled for pictures due to the insecurity of my teeth. He did a full restoration of my mouth and I truly feel like a new man. I'm now the 1st person to smile at a stranger and I even show my teeth for pictures. I have since relocated out of the area but I'm keeping Tamal Vista because they are that good.

Tamal is absolutely and unequivocally the best practice I have ever used for my personal dental needs. From front office staff, to hygienists, to the doctors and their patience with their patients to their investments in technology to better treat patients. They are amazing in explaining everything to patients and do not come off as "selling procedures ". They have your best interest in mind and nothing more. I would recommend my entire social network to them. This office checks literally every single box AND NO they are NOT clients of mine! So this is not a biased review.

With years of experience, they know what you need and are able to clearly explain your choices. Dr Kantor, Dr Jeng & Team, Thank you for seeing me today for a thorough teeth cleaning. Also many thanks to your efficient staff for setting up the appointment in conjunction with my orthodontist. It took the stress right off of me. Upper & lower wires for braces were taken off at my orthodontist's this am to prepare for my afternoon cleaning. My wires will go back on tomorrow morning at my orthodontist. Dr. Kantor's on the spot thinking to remove an old tooth root while my wires were off was a stroke of genius! It will have a longer time to heal and be better prepared to receive my upcoming bridge. Pretty impressive and a procedure that most dentists wouldn't have thought to perform on the spot when already heavily scheduled. It saved us both a lot of time. You think on your feet and care for your patient's well being. I really appreciate you all. L Eifert

I give the Lindsay and Bridget office staff both 1 star. Lindsay got me very angry two years ago…read moreand laughed at me and most recently I had a bad experience with her laughing at me again. Bridget seemed to have a weird change in appearance when I was in the office the beginning of the year. Bridget a couple of years ago was very mean to me and when filling out an invoice got the year wrong. She did fix it when pointed out to her. There is some bait and switch game going on with the appointments available online for booking. Two appointments I booked online were cancelled immediately and one when I called the office they gave some clearly a lie for the reason. For my recent appointment that was cancelled, I booked another online for an evening hygienist that was not Sam (Sam has a bad attitude problem) and I called the morning of the appointment and my hygienist appointment with the part-time hygienist was not available. When I told Bridget (office girl) I will be writing a review she offered me an appointment that next day, but that is not okay. When Lindsay and Bridget (office people) got me very angry two years ago, I wrote a review. And Dr. Kantor left a voice mail message and asked me to delete it and asked what I wanted in return for deleting it. I did delete it then, but it did not seem right to accept his offer for something in return, and I did not ask for anything in return. However, I will not be deleting this review. I give Dr. Kantor 4 stars and hygienist Sam 3 stars. Sam can do the job but seems to have severe attitude issues. The office seems to have a policy the first time you are seen or the first time with a hygienist to get good service but after the first time the service declines. And the office has a high turnover. If you book online, be aware of appointments listed that aren't available and complain about bad office staff. And please read other 1-, 2-, and 3-star reviews.

lucky at cards, unlucky at love they say... i won't comment much one way or another about that,…read morebut based on the accuracy of this kind of old-truism I wonder if there's similar advice from wise ones who know about teeth. in my case, whatever it was i had to do to get lucky about dentistry i must have done so in spades. by that twisted opening i mean to say i've had virtually no problem with cavities or root canals (whatever they are) or implants or much of anything. i also seem to be blessed, whatever that means, with luck when it comes to finding parking places in big cities, i mean like they're just always where and when i need them. others have noticed and can confirm this. so it was a bit of a shock when my regular dentist, Judy Husen who is excellent by the way, announced in a gentle voice recently that you know there's like a little problem in the very back with one of your upper molars, a crack has developed and inside something evil is developing. it's not cancer or heart disease or senility but why not address the problem sooner than later, eh? at this point I needed a bit of time to get used to this idea of losing one of my oldest friends, but then I asked for recommendations, someone who could do what was needed with as little discomfort as possible. that's how I wound up contacting Dr. Mynesberge. to cut this typically overwritten review shorter, i'll end it by the best i can say about his work: tooth was gone while i was somewhere else thanks to some combination of wonder-drugs, and to my amazement there was not a bit of after effect, no swelling, no pain, no problem. YMMV but Dr. Mynesberge is fantastic.

I was initially going to arrive about 15 minutes late, and the receptionist told me they could still see us at 11:20. We drove all the way from Petaluma (about 40 minutes), but due to traffic we arrived at 11:27. When we got there, we were told they could no longer see us. What was frustrating wasn't that they couldn't accommodate us--it was the lack of communication. If arriving at 11:27 was too late, I wish they had told me that when I called or contacted me while I was driving so I could have turned around or rescheduled instead of making the trip. It was disappointing to spend so much time driving with my daughter only to be turned away.
