    First of all, I am a licensed dental hygienist. This review is from my experience as both a dental…read moreprofessional and a mom. I would absolutely recommend Dr Hopke and his office. My daughter got her braces off this week and she is very happy with the results. The support staff and assistants are great! Scheduling is easy. We loved the attention to detail throughout the process. My daughter is on the spectrum and they made sure to explain everything to her in language that she could understand, have her demonstrate how to put in the bands or retainers herself, and they really empowered her to take care of her own teeth. State insurance paid for her braces. Very thankful for that. He does accept state insurance. His office is state of the art! His office is also clean and kid friendly! Over the 3 year process of braces I believe we waited more than 20 minutes twice. They are very good and staying on time. It is a busy office but they really do their best. In medicine, some things can't be predicted so giving grace when they run behind is just as important as them giving grace when we run behind. I am hoping my son will be next to have treatment here. Full disclosure: I am an RDH in CA. Worked for 16 years as a hygienist and now I drive a school bus for PSD. An employee at Carson elementary recommended Dr Hopke and I'm so glad she did!

    Everytime we come in they are 45 min or more past the appointment time, been that way for years…read morewith 3 kids needing treatment. What makes it worse is they dont seem to care when you ask about the delay and respecting peoples time and schedule. This place might as well be first come first serve with the non existent organization.

    I would stay far away from this place. Friendly front end worker named April. Good hygienist but…read morethat is where it ends for this place. My wife had 2 procedures done a month or so apart. Was told 1st one would be covered under insurance and I would pay out of pocket for 2nd. I paid for the 2nd procedure 1/2 up front balance after procedure. 2 years later they state insurance is denying 1st and I owe $400us dollars. Pretty unbelievable and was told I need to work it out with the insurance. Isn't that what a pre authorization is for? My last procedure the male dentist took a personal call and was on his Bluetooth my whole procedure and rushed the whole thing. My filling felt unnatural and uncomfortable but after he was so unprofessional during the procedure I felt it was unacceptable and unprofessional taking a personal call that I would never go back. They are now sending collection notices and threats. This is completely wrong and I gave them the opportunity to make it right and the refused. I feel like they are scamming the insurance or me or both. They should be investigated. After doing thorough research of the bills/insurance statements reason for insurance denial was due to LATE SUBMISSION. Which is 100% this clinics fault! The claim was sent MONTHS after the procedure was performed! SHAME ON YOU!

    Earlier last year, I visited this dental office after moving to the area, seeking treatment for…read morepain in one of my molars. With fillings in most of my molars, I expected that I'd eventually need root canals on those teeth. After an initial assessment, the dentist informed me that multiple fillings needed to be redone. I asked about the cost out of pocket, and was told it would be $0. Based on their recommendations, I decided to proceed with the treatments, including addressing the painful tooth. The dentist warned me that the painful tooth might need a root canal, but they wouldn't know for sure until they began the procedure. I expressed my preference to go ahead with a root canal, so I wouldn't have to come back, especially since they couldn't guarantee that replacing the filling would resolve the pain. They scheduled my appointment, though the front desk tried to push it two weeks out. After reminding them that the dentist considered the situation urgent, they suddenly had an earlier opening just a few days later. On the day of the procedure, I reiterated that I wanted to move forward with a root canal. Halfway through, they informed me that the dentist working on my teeth didn't actually perform root canals and that they could only do a filling. I was shocked. After the procedure, my pain persisted, and I was told I'd need to return for a root canal. At this point, I was told that I'd hit my insurance coverage limit, meaning I'd need to pay the remainder out of pocket. They insisted I pay everything upfront, but I refused and asked them to run it through insurance first and bill me for the balance. I also made it clear that I didn't believe I should be charged for the initial filling, given that it was ultimately replaced with a root canal. They refused to waive that charge. They told me they would prescribe something for the pain until I could be seen for the root canal. I informed them that I had just finished 4 weeks of antibiotics for another issue and they made the decision that another antibiotic would not fix the issue, so they would prescribe me something else for the pain. When I went to pickup the rx, it was an antibiotic, which I did not want. I ended up canceling the rx and just working through the pain for the next few days (I'm allergic to NSAIDs so there wasn't much I could do). After finally having the root canal, my pain didn't subside after a few days. They had me come back to their office just to refer me to urgent care, where they assured me that I just needed to wait a few weeks for my gums to heal from all the dental work. So, I ended up at urgent care because the dental office seemed uncertain, adding additional hundreds of dollars to my medical bills. Months later, I still hadn't received a bill or any follow-up, but then I found out they had sent me to collections. To make matters worse, my tooth still bothers me. I would strongly advise against going to this office. The staff is unprofessional, the communication is poor, and most importantly, they seem completely incompetent.

I told her I would call to schedule when he was finished with his treatment. She called two more times within a month to set up my initial visit. I felt like I wasn't being heard and it was extremely frustrating. While she was very nice, she was a bit too pushy for my liking. I want to be sure that my provider's office is actually listening when I say something that's relevant to my care. Original review below: As a child, I had braces for nearly 5 years and disliked that orthodontist from the first visit. My smile was never what I expected it to be, and certain details had been overlooked. I never expected perfection, but I knew I was going to need braces again as an adult. I've had several orthodontic consults over the last ten years. This experience was amazing. The staff were so warm and friendly. They genuinely care about your needs and the outcome you are looking for. Finally, an orthodontist that actually listens. I didn't feel like it was a sales pitch at any point. Dr. Ormiston and his staff were relatable and very knowledgeable. Their technology is amazing! I didn't need to have dental impressions made because they use a new scanner that creates 4D images. I'm really looking forward to correcting my smile this time around.

I have sent 3 people in so far . my younger brother has Special needs and I talked to Dr.Wang about him and asked if he would take on my brother and he did. we both love him so much !!! all the D's are good here I'm sure but Dr.Wang has been our favorite . I would come here even if I had to drive a hour . my younger brother comes from Auburn. lol give these guys a try !!

    I started going to them last year in January when I had a painful tooth. They recommended I go to…read morean endodontist who did a small 5-minute procedure. I don't know what she did and cost it $2000 because my insurance wouldn't pay for that recommendation. Well the money is gone and it's all out. I have no more ... I've been in there at least once a month for the last year. That's how many issues I've had. With all the x-rays they're taken and all the times they've looked into my mouth nothing should be missed. So far I've had two root canals or more I've lost count. Last week, one failed root canal, He couldn't finish it. I've also had 1 extraction and 10 fillings. According to them, I still need another root canal and an extraction. And mind you I don't have that many teeth left. I have a few teeth in the front on my top and bottom. I can't tell you how many times I've been in pain. I go for root canal and the next thing you know something else pops up. When I point out why didn't you see this before? Call me just gives me a blank look . I shouldn't be paying for this if you missed it "Why don't you see this when I'm in here, They showed me a picture of a tooth that they were doing the root canal on last year that you could see with the naked eye that it was starting to get decay. Why didn't they take care of it then? He has no answes and they just look at me like I'm stupid. I actually had to take a loan out to pay some surprise charge that my f****** insurance should have covered. I have two insurances. I want to know why my insurance was completely billed out last year... both insurances. What kind of charges are you sending out to my insurances. I want a complet accounting of what's going on and I'm going to call both of them to find out what the hell's going on. It's happening again this year. It's only February and they're not paying for all these issues that I have. I shouldn't be paying for a failed root canal. And he did a filling that was it and I get a bill for $277. I'm not paying it. I'll be calling my insurance . Something is wrong. I go in last Friday for a root canal. It's the most pain I've ever been in my life. By the way, the shots hurt, the whole process hurt. They're not even trying to be gentle in any way , it was horrible. I thought I was going to die Or have a heart attack. This isn't the first time I've been in pain. I've had other root canals. Hurt like hell!!! Then they have one of their assistants put in nine fillings. The first four she did. I thought I was going to die. That's how much it hurt. I told them I can't do nine at one time so they did four or five but that was too much . They had my mouth open so long. My jaw was collapsing. And they keep hiring assistants. I don't think I see the same person twice So there's a problem here. I want my money back for all the missed issues that they haven't seen that have caused me extreme pain. I don't want to be in extreme pain. I pay you as a professional to make sure all of that is seen and taken care of and it doesn't turn into one emergency after another. Plus I have gum disease. My gums are raw. They have no answers for that. Brush my teeth harder. You got to be kidding. That hurts. Why would you tell me to brush my gums till they bleed? I could go on and on. It's incredible, now I have a half finished root canal and he wants me to go to an endodontist, which is going to cost thousands. You didn't finish the root canal. You need to pay for this. There is no way I'm responsible for the dentist to not able to finish a root canal. That is absolutely unconscionable with all the x-rays you've did. I've had so many x-rays. I'm going to get cancer... How can you not see anything with all of those x-rays you've taken and all of these high-tech impressions of my mouth??? They don't care if you don't have any money. They just gloss over when when you're telling them stuff. However, they're billing my insurance too much and I want the money back and I want them to finish their work or pay for the endodontist that all of a sudden I need. With all the x-rays and impressions you take in my mouth, you should have known that canal was too thin or whatever the hell you said and You should have never started it in the first place. The tooth didn't even hurt me and now it does. Do you care??? You're paying for the endodontist if you can't finish it?. Not me. In addition, I'm going to have both my insurances account everything that you've done and what you're billing them for. I want a refund.
