I…read moreinformed them ahead of time that I could not make the appointment, yet they still charged me $35 even though I was never seen by the doctor and never received any treatment. This experience left a very bad impression. It feels like this office cares more about collecting fees than about patients and understanding real situations. Patients are not just a source of money. Healthcare providers should focus on helping people, not finding ways to charge them for appointments they never even attended. For a first-time patient, this was extremely disappointing and unwelcoming. I would strongly recommend others think carefully before booking here because the office policies seem far more focused on making money than patient care.

Upon retirement I starting checking for local dentist. Nearly every place I called was not accepting patients. Thankfully Vineyard was willing to accommodate me based on my availability. Prior to arrival I had filled out all the required paperwork. I checked in at the reception desk upon arrival and took a seat until I was called. X-rays were the first business of the day, new dentist wanted to get a view of my mouth. Simple procedure. This was followed but a CT scan of my head to provide a 3D image, thought this was neat, but didn't get to see the finished image. It was in to wait for the dentist, Dr. Cheema. He introduced himself, as did each of the staff. Thought they were all nice people and provided me plenty of information regarding procedures and paperwork. There dentist looked around my mouth and prodded with his tools. Looked at the x-rays and gave me his assessment. Since my insurance covered it, I did sign up for the Invisalign, but prior to that I will be back for a few deep cleanings, which had to be explained to me and to pull one impacted molar, which I knew I had but never wanted to get it removes. All in all, a great visit, very relaxed. Thanks to the staff and the dentist. I look forward to returning.

The pros - they do primary and secondary billing. Unlike other orthos I spoke to there was no "pay…read moreahead and let the insurance reimburse you". They **in theory** have a lot of availability. The cons - 3x Ive come to see the orthodontist for my invisalign treatment - and each time they end up sending me home after waiting 60+m without seeing the ortho. They have a big office, that never is bustling, so Im not sure what is the issue. If there was a waiting room full of people Id be more understanding. Avoid at all cost - any benefits to not having to do out of pocket up front was lost with cancelled visits, having to miss work etc. I am 8 months to invisalign and have no confidence its going to turn out correctly - I have only ever see the Dental hygienist, since the doctor is constantly running late and the appointments end up cancelled after waiting 45+min. Oh, and there is zero accountability or apologies. They have a 10 minute grace period (then your appointment is cancelled and they will charge you $50) that they WILL enforce, even when the dentist is running 45 minutes late.

They told us we have to go find another dentist to have his teeth tightened and cared for because we can't pay that payment all upfront, as well as whatever money it cost to go get his teeth adjusted his mouth has sores in it from not having his teeth on properly, they just don't care. I'm so frustrated. I can't believe we gave these people our hard earned money for these teeth that they're not willing to take care of. We're not saying we won't pay the money. We just don't have that much money on hand. With our changing economy and the impending world war maybe your policies should be amended. How could you be so? arrogant? are you not living in the same community we live in? Central Coast Dental give our community a break! Your punishment doesn't fit the infraction.

I chose Oaks Dental Group initially because they provide service for my weird insurance coverage that hardly any dentist near by would even look at. I called for an appointment and I must say that Melissa has to be the friendliest person to make my appointment and assured me that they were an in-network provider for my insurance. She made the appointment sooner than I was ready, but the pain was getting worse, so, okie dokie. Still apprehensive, I come in and was greeted with kindness, understanding of my pain and of my apprehensiveness, or should I say, "Scared to Death" of the dentist chair. I was expecting at least a 30 minute wait when I was called in 5 minutes. Ugh... My legs were like Jello. Without help, I managed to walk to the dreaded CHAIR. I was attended by Amder, an RDA. She is a phenomenal dental assistant. She put me right at ease and is very intelligent. After calming me down, I was greeted by Dr. Robles. Very friendly and helpful. He went to work on my pain and was able to fix that right away. WOW! I'm feeling great now so he exams me and tells me I have a bit of work to be done. I kinda knew that since I was trying to avoid going to the dentist for a while now. He explain every problem he found and we decided to go with a plan that would minimize the out of pocket charges. I was happy about that, and sure enough, Melissa figured out and printed me a plan that was easy to understand that minimized the out of pocket charges. Melissa is an expert on figuring out that insurance stuff, SO well organized and friendly. Overall, if your frighten of going to the dentist, I highly recommend the Oaks Dental Group. I finally found a dental group that I'm NOT apprehensive about but look forward to seeing them for my dental health. GREAT PEOPLE! THANK YOU OAKS DENTAL GROUP! I love you all!
