Dr. Baker explained everything I needed to have corrected which included to crowns on my back lower molars. I had the two crowns finished today and I could not be happier. Excellent dentist and friendly staff. The dental assistant had the most calming voice that helped me considerably, since dental procedures tend to make me nervous. I'm also always seen on time and the office promptly billed my insurance. If you want a dentist with years of experience, I highly recommend Dr. Baker.

Not trying to sound cliche or commercial, I honestly do not even have adequate words for the…read moreexperience that we had with Dr. Zacarias and the entire dental staff. My 4 year old daughter had her first visit and it was a magnificent experience for both of us. I was referred to Dr. Zacarias... I was hoping for the best, but I was still anxious and skeptical. Within moments of meeting Dr. Zacarias , I felt 2000% sure we were at the right place, that he would take care of her... THE RIGHT WAY. I will never take my child to another dentist. I truly feel so blessed to have been referred to him. He is absolutely wonderful, an angel. He will take care of your children. He will make sure they are healthy. He will take care of their teeth. He will make sure you trust him, that you understand everything he is doing. He walks you through everything. Sounds hard to believe, doesn't it?... but it is the truth. Thank you so very much, Dr. Zacarias, You are a blessing. I cannot say it enough - THANK YOU!!

I had to get a crown a few weeks ago, so I scheduled an appointment. I had the dental work and a…read moretemporary crown put on and was scheduled to get the permanent crown in a couple of weeks. I had researched same day crowns but I found that they were not as strong as the ones that have to be custom made. The temporary crown was very strong and never came off. Dr Castillo fitted it just fine. Today I went back for the permanent crown. I opted to not have any pain killers and I didn't even need them!. Dr. Castillo did a wonderful job and made sure that my bite was correct. He is very meticulous in getting everything just right. Thanks to this dentist office for always taking time to explain everything. I am no longer afraid of going to the dentist!

I went to Dr. Castillo for SEVERE pain of a broken tooth that I let get out of hand because of…read moredental anxiety. The staff understood my hesitation and did everything to keep me calm. At intake, the nurse that took my X-rays explained everything and even kept my mind preoccupied by making side conversation and making me laugh. Once I was evaluated and spoke to Dr. Castillo he explained my options and how he would like to proceed. He explained my options and prescribed a heavy antibiotic and stronger pain medication because my infection was severe. After a week of medication, I was scheduled for an extraction and the staff continued to provide the best customer service. The front office kept me calm and the nurse checked on me regularly as I took a sedative for the anxiety. Although I don't remember much of the procedure, the healing process has been easy. I had minimal bleeding, minor pain, and almost back to normal 2 days later. I will continue to visit Dr. Castillo and his staff! I feel so much better about dental visits.

June 2025 went to The Lakes Family dental to replace my dentures. They run my credit when I didn't…read moreknow they had. July, I received a statement from a credit company where The lake Family Dental made a credit card under my name for a total of $8,000 and payment was due. I called both offices, I was told that is how they work. I am paying $280 monthly. By October my Dentures came in. They were painful to use so they asked me to come the next day. I shared I WAS NOT happy with them; the teeth were so little. I kept telling Dr. Alvarado my concerns, but he was so rude telling me the teeth look good for women my age and I needed to get a facelift or fillers. He questioned me why I wanted such big buck teeth. I kept saying I was unhappy with the dentures, he just kept arguing and persisting. I didn't know what to do so I put my head down, crying, wanted to walk out of the room, but I wouldn't have teeth. After a while Dr Alvarado said OK if you want big buck teeth, I will make them SO BIG so everyone can see what you wanted. He made me feel so bad I cried and that is when he stopped yelling at me. They said they would only fix the top ones, not the bottom ones. The Bottom ones have a metal bar in them that can't get adjusted, so that is what causes pain/discomfort. When I went to pick up the dentures I spoke to the Finance person, before going to the room and told her how the Doctor had treated me and that I dissatisfied with the teeth. She called in a manger where they tried to convince me the Doctor is in a lot of stress/frustration. I told her he still doesn't have the right to speak to me the way he had. The tech in the room was the same as before and stated everything was true. January my dentures came in, and they made me sign a paper they are not going to replace/adjust them. I have not used them since because they are painful and I am too scared to return. I am still paying $280 monthly and using my old dentures. I have never experienced this.

Two weeks ago I had a cleaning done and it was the first time in a long time that did not feel any discomfort on a cleaning. Today I had three fillings done and it was no exception.

I seldom write any reviews on anything, however I felt this merits one. I highly recommend them.
