When I explained to her what she was doing was wrong, she got angry and hung up on me. I put in a grievance to my insurance company, who agreed with me. The doctor's response was to tell me that I needed to never come back there again. Well I won't! Wasn't planning on it anyway. The doctor needs to train his bookkeeper on how to bill customers correctly, instead of attacking his client! Bottom line is that the clerk ruined what could've been a pleasant and positive experience. Don't go there!

I had to take a moment to leave this review. I was referred…read moreto Dr. Robertson for two root canal treatments, and I couldn't be more impressed. I've never been to a dentist where I barely felt a thing -- I didn't even notice the anesthesia being administered! The entire procedure was smooth, and best of all, I'm finally pain-free. Even the price was painless -- fair and reasonable. Highly recommend!

Thank you to Dr. Brennan for saving my tooth after two other endodontist said it had to be pulled…read more Extremely quick and responsive, was able to be scheduled for my evaluation in less than a week after first calling. And got my root canal 10 days after that. Worked with my insurance and it was super inexpensive. Dr. Brennan definitely has a magic touch, I've had normal fillings that hurt worse than my procedure with him, which was my very first root canal ever. He asked how I was doing about every 4 or 5 minutes and was explaining everything he did along the way. The whole thing took about 40 minutes. Hoping I don't need another root canal in my life, but if I do, I will definitely go back to him.

Dr Sturm himself took the time to answer all my questions and provide a thorough evaluation. I went to see him after a poor experience with another endo in town and Dr Sturm was a much better overall experience, from his knowledge and expertise, to his recommendations for my case, and his genuine desire to help me deal with some dental pain. I did not have to get a root canal but if I ever do in the future, I will certainly return. Thank you Dr Sturm!

7-STAR EXPERIENCE!! I came in today to see Dr Wechter for…read moresome reassurance/diagnosis on an issue with my mouth/tongue....SO GLAD I DID! ...From the moment I spoke on the phone to Angelica, to the stellar care I experienced, this entire practice had things dialed-in! Here are a few experience highlights: 1. Angelica (phone receptionist)was so kind. She spent much time with me on the phone and was so cordial and kind. I felt she truly was empathetic and she worked to find me a next day appointment with Dr Wechter at his SB location. 2. Their SB office is located right off of Pedrogosa. Their is an elevator, for those who are in need, such as myself (since I am also recuperating from a foot surgery). 3. The entire office is the most immaculately clean office....just superbly clean, aesthetically appealing and non-cluttered with a bit of higher-end Spanish Mission theme. They obviously take great care to keep things clean/sanitary and relaxing/comfortable 4. Dr Wechter is the kindest and most authentic doctor!! He is VERY giving of time...even sits with you after, to be sure all your questions have been answered and he is a master in his field. He was so cordial and I felt that he truly desired to listen and help. He didn't talk over me, and fully explained everything. **I've seen a lot of doctors in my time, as I have worked as a nurse for many years, and thusly must give high props to Dr Wechter for being the "whole nine yards" for everything you'd like to see in a doctor. 5. The entire staff are all so very personable, cordial and kind. The young gentleman who assisted Dr Wechter today (so sorry I forgot to ask his name) had such a lovely smile and was superb. I cannot thank you all enough for the A++ attention, care and kindness. You've set a new bar in service!

Dr. Riviera is a good oral surgeon but the office manager is grossly incompetent. If you do not want to spend hours waiting there, go to another practice -- there are many qualified oral surgeons in Santa Barbara, whose office managers are effective and competent.

DO NOT TRUST THIS ROTTEN DENTIST She is a money grabber !!!…read more I made an appointment for an EMERGENCY root canal after diagnosis from regular dentist. When I arrived I was made to wait I was told the doctor could not read the images from my dentist but I would be charged anyway + charged for new images When the doctor FINALLY came in I was informed this was only a consultation and NO PROCEDURE WOULD OCCUR although I had booked and waited for an EMERGENCY root canal that my surgeon has advised I need ASAP. This was not only an enormous waste of my valuable time and a huge disappointment, but my health is potentially compromised because this greedy doctor wanted me to pay for 2 visits instead of one. Despicable and unacceptable.

It is still holding and the tooth is healthy. When I needed another a couple of months ago, I went back. This time I didn't have my husband to hold my hand and I was terrified. She sat with me to understand my concerns then coordinated with my dentist. She did the root canal then, while I was still feeling no pain, my friend drove to to the dentist to get the crown impressions and everything else involving needles done. I don't remember a moment of discomfort. And, she's reasonable. Only place I would go for a root canal is Dr. Lawaty.

I wish I could give 0 stars. This is regarding Dr Jones. I had a wisdom tooth extraction (4 teeth)…read moreat Santa Barbara Center for Oral and Maxillofacial surgery (by Dr Jones) on July 18th. When I came out of surgery no one had told me what had happened. Eventually we found out 5 days later that it was a "code brown" situation while I was under anesthesia. Dr Jones eventually admitted to pushing my upper left wisdom tooth too far and lodging it into my upper cheek where they then had to "dig" it out of the buccal space. I wasn't able to breastfeed my 9 month old for 10 days due to being on heavy pain killers for a week longer than they anticipated. I eventually ran out of milk supply. I was completely numb in my left cheek, upper lip, left upper teeth for almost a year. Dr later admitted to this happening only one other time in her 15 year career and admitted this was a rare complication/mistake, but despite how rare and severe of a complication, I didn't see her in person until 11pm on Friday the 22nd when I called her (for the 6th time) because I had very extreme pain in the upper left of my mouth and head. During the week we had called her office several times with concerns and emailed her with updated photos of my face but no one asked me to come into the office to be seen. This was so incredibly stressful on me and my family and I would hate for this to occur with anyone else. I wish there would've been much more attention to this matter. Rather I felt like this serious and rare complication was minimized and dismissed.
