I have been going to Salida Dental for approximately 3 years. Like most people, I'm very hesitant about going to the dentist, but their office is truly the best dental experience I've ever had. They throughly explain what they plan to do before the procedure and continue throughout,which makes the entire experience much more comfortable. They are honest and never try to oversell unnecessary procedures. It is always a pleasure to go to Salida Dental. read more

We were very grateful that Salida Dental was able to cater to our emergency need, and started the treatment on the same day. Dr. Ota patiently explained the pros and cons to us and had the staff called to obtain the costs for the different treatment plans. This helped us decide on the best option for treatment. Since the oral surgeon was on duty that day, Dr. Ota immediately consulted with the surgeon to ensure that the treatment could start right away. We were so appreciative of their concerted effort because no time was wasted. As usual, Dr. Ota and her staff always put their customers first and treated them with care and respect. We also have to thank Dr. Williams, the oral surgeon, for his skillful execution. On top of his professionalism, he made his patient feel at ease. We only wish that Dr. Williams can be in the office more often. We highly recommend Salida Dental for its impeccable and personable service. They are truly a family dental practice! Thanks again to Dr. Ota, Dr. Williams and the entire staff under the leadership of Chris. read more

As always a perfect experience! Dr. Otta and her team are always curtious, gentle and informative about whatever your procedure is going to be. A real stress reducer! read more

Always a pleasure to visit with Dr. Ota and her very efficient staff. Fantastic dental service. Been a patient for over 12 years.

I always appreciate the warm hospitality in the office. Chris consistently goes out of his way to make me feel welcome, taking the time to ask about how things have been with me personally. Dr. Otta is truly the best--she not only provides excellent care but also makes the effort to connect by asking about family and ensuring I feel comfortable before each appointment. The overall environment in the office is very inviting and makes me feel like part of the family. read more

Super friendly staff at Salida Dental. They send out plenty of reminders about the appointment. I had many negative experiences with dentists before Dr. Ota. She is gentle and thorough. I no longer hate going to the dentist. I highly recommend Salida Dental. You will not regret trying this dental office. read more

You will be impressed Friendly Help with insurance Goes above and beyond Clean Goes over all that needs to be done read more

I was hesitant to change dentists because I had my previous one for over 10 years. I moved so it would be more convenient to stay local. I am glad I made the change! I wish I would have done it sooner! The staff at Salida family dental is very friendly and quick. My daughter was seen for the first time today and staff was very friendly. Dr. Ota did her best to get to know my daughter and made her feel comfortable. The dental hygienist also helped my daughter feel comfortable and allowed her to clean and floss her teeth. I also met with another doctor- I'm forgetting her name. She listened to my concerns and I felt very welcome. We can't wait to come back for our cleaning in 6 months! read more

Great service! Chris and team always are helpful and make you feel right at home. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my grill! Thank you everyone read more

I was very pleased with my entire experience at Salida Dental Group! They were very efficient, nice and I was in and out of there in a very short period of time. They are a great team. Gary T. read more

Dr. Ota and her staff are the best. Very satisfied with the dental care. I am very pleased and have been for many years!

All of the ladies at Salida do a great job, always have! Hey treat me and my children the same and they make a point to answer any toothy questions we have. The only strange thing I have never had the nerve to question them about, is I wonder why they don't hand out a goodie bag like all the other dentists do? I seriously miss getting the free toothbrush, toothpaste and floss from previous dentists.... hmm. But it's not like I won't continue going here because if that, just always found it odd. read more

I'm so happy I found a good dentist office for my family! I had a wonderful experience with my children I plan on referring everyone I know here! Dr.Otta and Dr. Lim where great as well as the staff. read more

Beware of what they charge and get second opinion. They charged me twice the rate that others charge for root canal using Delta Care. They added $250 service charge which no one else does. DO NOT GO HERE!!! read more

Misinformative and deceitful during scheduling, I was told that my exam and cleaning would be done the same day and that is the only reason I scheduled this appointment. Upon arrival I was immediately asked to pay an exam fee before I had even filled in my paperwork, before paying the exam fee I tried to confirm that I would be getting a cleaning as well during this visit and was told that it depends on what they see during my exam. So instead of being upfront during the scheduling process and telling me that I might be able to get a cleaning the same day I was told that's the only way they do it, then upon arrival to my appointment that I took a day off work for I was told different that the same day cleaning is completely dependent on what the exam shows. After telling them to go ahead and cancel the appointment I was told I would still have to pay a $10 fee for visiting the office today... haha ya right. This place is so scammy.... I guess I still with Dr. Mesbah in Modesto, amazing dentist, always do what they say I just made a mistake trying to experiment with someone closer to home. read more

I am highly recommending Dr Ota and everyone at Salida Dental Group. My Dad was a Dentist so I am very picky about my care. My husband is very anxious about the dentist but is always put at ease when he's there. Chris at the front desk is always to helpful and pleasant as is all the staff. Salida Dental has specialists on staff so it is pretty much one stop shopping. You won't be disappointed! read more

The dentist is always very personable and you can tell she truly cares for her patients!! I have been coming here for years and have never had an issue - highly recommend!! read more

Dr Ota is very knowledgeable about all procedures. I just had a crown done on a cracked back tooth. Both she and her technician made sure it was exactly what I wanted and fit well. She works really well with disabled customers. Gives them adequate time and understanding when listening to their concerns. Thank you Dr. Ota read more

Thank you to Dr Ota and her friendly staff. That welcoming environment is so appreciated for a dental visit. Thank you for all your great care! read more

Salida Dental staff and dentists are superb in every sense of the word. We have had all our dental needs done at Salida for the past several years. Very caring, friendly, dependable, and professional in all respects. Dr. Ota and Dr. Mendez provide first rate service. Our primary dentist is Dr. Ota. When Dr. Ota is not available, Dr. Mendez fills in and vice versa. Highly recommended. read more

Came here, no one greeted me when I walked in Sign In at the front desk. Whats up with dental offices and the ocean theme? I hate going to the dentist with a firey passion. Dr was really nice, I waited a long time in the scary chair. I had a root canal done. Mouth wide open while they are going to work I felt a tickle running down my throat. Not even realizing, I gagged and almost sat up. Dr says "try not to jerk like that or the tools will cut your mouth". If the stupid assistant knew where to suck with that spit sucker thingy, I wouldnt have had this problem in the first place. She had it placed in front of my teeth while they were doing work in the back? Gee thats where all the spit and water is going...to the front of my teeth while I'm laying down? Common sense. Found out later that she was new. Go figure. Bummer that my insurance doesnt cover for my original dentist. Dr Wong on Dale. *Best Specialist for ROOT CANAL if your ins covers is Dr Kang on Tully/Snyder....Im telling you this guy is AMAZING. read more

For those looking for a dental office AVOID Salida Dental. Not sure what changed since I first went a few years ago but TWICE during procedures (once a cleaning, the other a root canal) my daughter's gums were drilled/ripped/scrapped to bleeding and was told to "put ice on that." After complaining to the staff about another local office's billing procedures and after I verified they had my correct insurance information for our primary insurance (we have two policies), they billed the wrong insurance. When I corrected them they assured me they would bill the correct one. I scheduled an appt for an ortho consult for my son and after 4 weeks of waiting for the appointment, they took him into back. When they came out they informed me it was only a cleaning and they would request the authorization. Three weeks later, I find out from the insurance company, they sent it to the WRONG insurance again. This time I called the insurance company who called Salida Dental (with me on the phone) and they assured them they would resubmit to the correct insurance. Now 6 weeks later, I called the insurance company and find out they NEVER resubmitted it!!!! The service here was very good and I was very impressed when I first switched to this dental office both from the doctors and front office. At the appointment with my son I over heard them admit that someone in their office gave a client the wrong address, then tell him that if he couldn't make it to the right office within 15 min of his appointment time, in spite of the fact that it was their error, he would have to reschedule. Afterward, they continued (in front of me and others in the waiting room) to laugh about this man's predicament. Then, when the man arrived and explained it to them again (he barely spoke English) they acted like they hadn't been talking about him. Disgusting treatment of patients... read more

I've been seeing Dr. Oda for almost 7 year's now and I have not had one bad visit the staff is awesome and friendly and Dr. Oda is one of the best dentist I have had thank you for taking such good care of my dental needs!! read more

Always professional and expedient. They greet you by name and are personable. They do really great work, I'm so thankful to be a patient. Dr. Ota is a fantastic dentist! read more

Never recommend this dentist to children with disabilities I was referred by some professionals to call this place due to my 18 year old having a disability in wheel chair. So called to make an appt and asked if they could make her an appt I told the lady she can't get out of wheel chair and lady said then we can't see her she has to be able to get in the dentist chair Is that discrimination or what read more

I have been seeing Dr. Mendez for a couple of years. She's great, however I have not needed any major work. They take my affordable insurance with a reasonable copay. They seem to have a lot of patients -- popular. I have family who go there and are equally satisfied. read more

My mother was treated there for root canal yesterday by Dr. June Chang. She was asked to pay $1400 for treatment which she agreed and had paid. When she was at the treatment chair, after topical anesthesia had been applied and they were ready to start the treatment, the doctor said she had to clean more and she will have to pay $100 more. What can a patient do at such point? Walk away after paying and not getting treatment done. It was so unprofessional, that my father who is always a calm person even got upset. They take advantage of seniors and people who have English as their second language, who can not argue back. I will discourage any one to go to this clinic. They charged her extra $100 and my parents came home feeling totally cheated. The worst experience ever. Please stay away from this clinic. read more

Great service ,very respectful, I would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for dental work! Dr. Ota was very nice and patient with my daughter! thanks for your wonderful service... read more

This dentist office is fantastic! All of the staff are friendly and professional. I would highly recommend anyone to this dentists office!!

My kids have been seeing this dentist for a while. Everything seemed ok, then one of my children had a filling fall out. They replaced it, but had they done the work correctly in the first place, it should not have come out. Since my children were seeing this dentist, I had a broken tooth and went there as well (before my child's filling fell out). They filled the tooth for me, then about a month later, the tooth they filled started hurting. So I went back and they said I now need a root canal. Hmmm....wonder why!! They wanted me to pay $1700 for the root canal that THEY caused! Sounds like they're making a bit of "job security" for themselves. Needless to say, I, nor my children have been back there since. I would not recommend this place to anybody. read more

With a large counter, and no privacy for verbal personal information exchange is a huge Hipaa Violation, ironically they make u sign a Privacy Document! Lol Will update this review after the visit! read more

After four visits, and a different dentist at all of them, I switched my dentist immediately following my most recent experience. On my last visit I waited 1.5 hours for a cleaning, only to have the cleaning tools negligently slipping down my throat from the poor assistance. The day after this cleaning I came down with a throat infection that lasted over a week. From the receptionists in the front texting on their phones while sipping energy drinks to the rough cleanings, this place needs some reorganization. I have had two cavities filled at this location, with the second one being a re-do of the first one done incorrectly, and paid more for the second than the first. They found a cavity on my most recent experience and quoted me $30 higher than the cavity I had filled last...only to send me a letter in the mail two weeks later letting me know that they misquoted the price. To me it appears to be bad business across the board. read more

I am not sure why all the low stars (apparently the squeaky wheel gets the oil) I have been going here for the last 3 years and i have never had a bad experience. Dr. Ota is gentle and kind, and i am a huge dental chicken!! In fact I have recommended this office to several others who have had great experiences as well read more

The calm, professional atmosphere of the office helps me feel comfortable and relaxed when I am there. I appreciate that they are well-organized and keep waiting times short. In the past, my dental procedures have been painful and even sometimes frightening, so I was apprehensive when a tooth broke and I needed a bridge. Dr. Ota is so skilled I felt only a small prick of the first needle of anesthetic and no pain at all during the procedure! I definitely recommend this office to anyone who wants a good outcome in a pleasant atmosphere. read more

I have been going here for a year now and if you're seriously looking for a great place that's clean, caring, and patient look no further. Excellent staff excellent dental work. I will never go to another dentist ever again. Love this place and I'm scared out of my mind going. They take great care in making sure that you're comfortable. read more

First let me say that if I could give 0 stars I would! This was the only dental office we could see under our insurance. You get what you pay for. I tried to save a few dollars each month on the insurance and it came back and bit me!!! My husband had to have a crown done. So we made him an appointment and he went in and had the work done. First...they told him that since he had insurance they just give him a discounted rate. We paid $550 for our portion of the crown. I paid in two installments by check. That is a whole other issue too!! Since the work my husband switched companies and we have new insurance that allowed us to go back to our old dentist that we love. When my husband went in yesterday for a cleaning and check up he was told he would need a crown done on that tooth. When he told the dentist that the crown that was on it was just done a couple of months ago the dentist told him the work was done poorly. We have pictures of the x-rays they took and now I need to start the struggle of dealing with this place. It is always difficult to get someone on the phone and they never really seem to know how to answer any questions. We have decided that we do not want them to touch my husbands tooth again and we are going to have our regular dentist re do the work...but you know what that means...we are going to have to pay for it. BEWARE! DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTAL OFFICE. THEY DO POOR WORK, THE LEFT HAND DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT HAND IS DOING AND SOMETHING SHADY IS GOING ON WITH THEIR ACCOUNTING!!! read more

Great group of professionals . If I could say I enjoy going to the Dentist Dr. Ota and her staff would be the ones I would pick

Friendly, efficient, thorough. This is the most complete exam I've ever had. Dr Mendez was generous with her time in explaining & answering my questions. Great office, reasonably priced for cash payment. read more
