But his work during each session was quick and efficient, and while I can't say it was painless, he got in and got the job done. He explained the technical details clearly and showed me how my implant works. He has a cheerfully gruff bedside manner the worked perfectly for me. I enjoyed our mutually teasing each other. And his staff delighted me with their happy attitudes. I actually looked forward to my appointments.

My husband Quinten called their office and they got me right in and took care of my tooth.

This is due to childhood trauma. Due to this I had severe dental issues. I had been going from dentist to dentist trying to find the right fit. Per my usual, when I met Dr. Lee I was scared. I let him know what had happened as a child. He assured me he would do everything possible to make me comfortable. He was so kind and gentle with me. I no longer have the severe anxiety I had. This is all due to Dr. Lee taking the time to assure me I would be ok. If you are looking for a dentist, I 100% recommended Dr. Lee. He will go above and beyond for you.

They completed dental work that they knew would not be covered by my insurance and when I asked them to submit a new claim the said that "Dr. Young needed to send a letter to the insurance pleading on your behalf". The insurance company never received any such letter and now I am stuck with an outlandish bill for someone with dental insurance. Do not go to this company unless you want to get scammed. I will also be reporting them to the CA Dental Association and submitting a grievance to my insurance company to ensure this doesn't happen to anyone else. Very disappointing.

He promised suitures for the extraction site due to my bad cough that is severe at night and early mornings. I was told they would send over 2 prescriptions 1 amoxicillin and 1 codeine. Well extraction came I kept trying to tell him I was feeling all of it, his response was you can't as your numb. I kept tensing up teary eyed and he shoved my shoulders down. I asked about the suitures and he said he isn't going to because the gums are folding over. I started to bring up my coughing and he just walked out. Mind you this is not proper behavior for a doctor, surgeon etc So I asked the assistant why is he being an ass and she said he isn't you are. She told me to go out the side door rudely so I said f u and left. Get the the pharmacy they have the antibiotics but never received pain medicine Rx. And they couldn't fill it due to nationwide shortage. Do not go to this place unless you get put under or enjoy a holes and pain.

We moved up here about 2 years ago. I initially went to a dentist in Lincoln who had been…read morerecommended. Then had some heart issues and had to go to the VA clinic and a Sutter cardiologist, all in Auburn. I decided to switch dentists and found this merely because it was the only one opened on a Friday. I AM ELATED! Everyone was great AND, they take my insurance and fully explained extras. And, not that I am "older" my new dentist should be around the rest of the time I need a dentist!!! Awesome staff, hygienist, dentist. Oh, Dr. Hayes is who cared for me, it was sorta like sitting at home and just chatting. SUPER thorough exam and follow-up.

Because I'm a nervous dental patient, I looked into having the work done at Next Level Dental since they offer nitrous oxide. During my consultation, Dr. Man reviewed my X-rays and told me I needed a crown instead. Although I was hesitant, I scheduled the procedure. Before the appointment, however, a friend told me that both he and his wife had also been told by this same dentist that they needed crowns. That raised concerns for me about possible overtreatment, so I decided to return to my original dentist for another evaluation. My original dentist completed the procedure with a small filling and both the dentist and dental assistant were surprised when I explained that another office had recommended a crown. They stated that, in their opinion, a crown would have been unnecessary and inappropriate for this tooth. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage anyone receiving a major treatment recommendation here to seek a second opinion before proceeding.

I have been coming to Sierra Smiles for 7 years. The staff have been extremely patient oriented,…read moreand that is a super plus. Sad to read some other commenters had challenging experiences, from their point of view. If some of the negative commenters made a choice to get a second opinion, which Shawn B did, maybe their outcomes would have been better. Personally I needed more dental work than expected from the start, but, Smiles kept me in the loop, dental removal of wisdom teeth completed, 4 crowns applied. I was offered options and reasons for one or another of choices. Having a conversation with the clinician in any medical setting is the right thing to do. Getting second opinions, if there are concerns, is also the right thing to do. Patients need to remember that asking for a little extra medication to deaden the root systems prior to fillings, crowns, and removals is the right thing to ask for. If a patient is older and sensitive to teeth removals, ask for conscious sedation, especially if you are having dental "surgery". My Careington 1 plan helped me to save money and Sierra Smiles is the only dental office that accepts that plan. Very good job, from my experiences.

This was the worst dental experience I have ever had. Rude and unprofessional. I went to Dr…read more Avera for an evaluation and he started out by insulting my regular dentist for giving me the particular night guard that Avera didn't seem to like. Then he proceeded to point the finger at "most dentists" saying they don't know anything about night guards and he's the expert. He was laughing and had to check himself and say "hey, I'm not laughing at you, I just see this all the time." Maybe he's right, I don't know. But, how arrogant and condescending! He spent a lot of time telling me how smart he is, and how much he knows and other dentists don't know. Well it gets worse. He was explaining a simple concept and repeated himself several times like I was too stupid to get it the first time. Then he said "give me your hand and I'll show you." He grabbed my hand and jabbed his thumb into my palm and I let out an "ow" and I pulled my hand back. (I guess he thought this was some sort of a brilliant analogy) He laughed and said "come on that didn't hurt... come on." Well it hurt... And how would he know? And who does he think he is to tell me it didn't hurt? I have to wonder... Did it ever cross his mind to say..."Oh shoot, I'm sorry, did that hurt?" He's arrogant and condescending. Competent? I doubt it. Based on my experience, and many of the other reviews, I would steer clear of this guy. There are plenty of better options. One more thing... It seems most of the negative reviews are fairly recent. Maybe he just needs to retire.
