I suspected trouble was brewing upon the descent of my oldest son's permanent teeth. Neither…read morehubby's nor my teeth required orthodontics, so I waited & watched, patiently, ever hopeful, in silence. Finally, Dr. Bloom (our pediatric dentist, who owes his bulging bank account to my kids' crappy brushing techniques and stubborn resistance to ever floss) delivered the inevitable, wallet deflating news - braces were necessary. I selected Dr. Kawakami, blindly, no preferences were given from Bloom, who remains annoyingly, politically indifferent during such discussions. So, left to my own decision making devices, I chose Kawakami based on the consonant cadence of his name. The first time we met Dr. Kawakami, it was Friday, just before Halloween. The entire office staff, including Dr. K were festively attired in costumes, and not on a phoning-it-in level, either. Much to my sci-fi son's delight, Dr. K was Star Trek's Spock and easily indulged him w/ Spock-isms. We were putty in his hands after that initial interaction. Dr. K is a kind, conscientious person. He gently mapped out treatment option and easily shared his experienced opinions. The grand total for the multiple tactics necessary to correct my son's problems came to $4000, of which our insurance covered $1000 - yeah, our insurance suuuucks! Dr. K's office offers a generous 10% discount for cash payment in full, so that brought it down to $2700. That includes all of the x-rays, maintenance visits, wax, etc... Dr. K's staff is really friendly, happy, even. I actually buy that they like working there. His receptionists are not time Nazi's, meaning, when we happen to run late - ok, I admit to an uncontrollable, genetic predisposition that unintentionally results in arriving a few minutes late, yes, people hate me for it, but, I digress - they don't give us the evil eye, making us feel even guiltier, like every other desk jockey does. My son's brace technician is Cheryl, he really likes her, considers her a friend, and barely complains even when she has to crank up the wire tension. Tanner's teeth are well on their way to becoming one of his best assets, thanks to Dr. K and his staff. They have made an expensive and tedious process sail by smoothly.

The dental care and professionalism used to be excellent, but preventative care is sorely lacking…read more I hope that the care has improved since the time of this review. To maintain dental health, it is very important to have regular dental exams every 6 months. This helps to identify any dental issues early on, and hopefully avoid the need for extractions, crowns, etc. I had been a client of Pueblo Del Sol Dental for many years (about 12+ years) and the care and customer service was EXCELLENT. But it seems that something changed somewhere along the line. I had a permanent bridge installed by Dr. Trujillo and was told at the time that it was essential to maintain my dental hygiene or the bridge would fail and I would need a new bridge installed, which is a very painful and expensive procedure. At the 6 month point for my bi-yearly dental exam, I called to schedule my usual exam, and was told that it would be more than 6 months to be able to see any hygienist or dentist. I explained that I had a bridge installed by Dr. Trujillo, and it was my understanding that if I did not keep up with my regular exams, it was likely that the bridge would fail. The scheduler/receptionist did tell me to keep trying to call and they would see if they could get me in sooner as I was a long-standing patient. I did finally get an appointment a month later, and saw a hygienist who was EXCELLENT. (I wish I could remember her name!) She carefully showed me the optimal oral hygiene sequence for my bridge and actually let me try it while she watched and clarified anything that I had missed. She was wonderful! But when it was time for my next 6-month apointment, I called to schedule my next 6-month appointment with the hygienist, so that there wouldn't be any lag timem abd was told that the earliest appointment with any hygienist would be in 12 months (a full year away) Sadly, after being a long-standing patient for more than 12 years, I had to quickly find another dentist or risk jeopardizing my bridge. I was able to find another dentist's office that was able to schedule me with one of the dentists without a long delay, and then with a hygienist shortly after. I am very sad that Pueblo Del Sol no longer provides the care that they once did. I had been going there so long it almost felt like "family" I don't know what happened, but I truly hope that they can somehow regain their integrity and care for patients. The reason for the 4 star review is that for many, many years this office was excellent and caring. I don't know what changed and I hope that somehow the excellence and care that this office had demonstrated years ago will return. This review is partly regarding the many years in the past when this office showed care for their clients, and partly regarding the experience I had with the scheduler almost a year ago. I hope that things have turned around at this date, and that patients are treated with more care and concern at this time. And I am thankful that I was able to find another dentist's office that provides excellent care in a timely manner. Otherwise I may have compromised my bridge and have had to have another one, at a cost of around $6,000.

When i arrived for my appointment, the dentist was going to proceed without nitrous. When I asked what was going on, I was told that the appropriate amount of time had not been scheduled. They needed to "set up" the nitrous. So, he pulled out some kind of respiratory tubing and hooked it up. He became angry that I did not feel the affects quickly enough. I decided it was best to leave. I was charged $150.oo for the tubing. I am a retired nurse. It didn't seem to be a complicated procedure to "set up" the nitrous. i had been a client there for 3 years.

My husband went there for a cleaning. He left his outer "Copper Queen Hospital" denim shirt;…read moreglasses and cell phone on the chair in the cleaning room. The hygienist commented on the shirt when she saw it. Apparently this office has only one hygienist who comes in on Mondays and lives in Bisbee. He says the cleaning was ok - hygienist seemed to be awkward with the tools and had problems getting the suction tube to work right. When my husband left the dental office he accidentally left his denim work shirt in the cleaning room. As soon as he came home, he mentioned he left his shirt there. He went back the next day at about 11:15am and the clinic was closed which seemed strange since the hours posted on the door don't indicate a lunch hour. He then went back there the following week and, the shirt was not there - hmmmmm..... So, cleaning was OK but, don't leave your valuables at this office!

They cut you no slack. If you haven't been practicing good oral hygiene you will not leave the office before being aware of it. The work is top notch, the pain is nearly nonexistent and Dr. Simpson really cares about how healthy your mouth is. I used to suffer major anxiety attacks before a dental appointment, and although I can't say I look forward to my checkups, I am comfortable and trust everyone who works here. I highly recommend Dr. Simpson.

I recently visited this office and left extremely disappointed and concerned. After reviewing my…read moreX-rays and periodontal charting, it was clear that the treatment plan I was given did not match my actual dental condition. My chart showed mostly healthy gum measurements (1-3 mm), with only one or two localized areas measuring 4-5 mm and very mild, localized bone changes. My X-rays also showed no generalized bone loss and no signs of moderate periodontal disease. Despite this, I was told I needed deep cleanings (SRP) in three quadrants, totaling over $1,200 out of pocket. After seeking additional opinions and reviewing the imaging myself, it became clear that this level of treatment was not clinically justified. A localized cleaning in the small problem areas--NOT full-mouth treatment--would have been appropriate. I left feeling pressured, confused, and uncomfortable with the aggressive treatment recommendation. I also overheard similar upsell-style conversations happening with other patients, which made me even more concerned. I chose not to move forward with treatment and will not be returning. Patients deserve accurate diagnoses, honest communication, and treatment plans that reflect what's actually needed--not inflated or unnecessary procedures. I hope this feedback encourages the office to reevaluate how treatment plans are presented and to prioritize patient trust and transparency.
