If you are looking for a highly competent, caring, thorough, dentist with great integrity,…read moresurrounded by other great staff, consider your search over by visiting Dr. Hardy at Alta Mesa Family Dentistry in Monterey, I broke my front tooth the morning after my father passed away and before I had to prepare for seeing our many friends and relatives for his memorial services. I was never crazy about my prior dentist, Dr. James Leamey. He saw me brielfly told me short term he could only offer me a plastic mouth tray to hold in the broken tooth and that I could not eat wearing the tray. His long term solution was a root canal despite half the tooth was intact and there was no nerve pain. I thought his suggestion was beyond depressing under the circumstances, and simply unacceptable. I ended up leaving in search of a second and hopefully much better option. I was recommended to Alta Mesa Family Dentistry. That very same day I met Dr. Inge Hardy who was able to re-secure the broken tooth short term so I could eat with it (carefully), and did not think a root canal was required as the long term solution. She helped make it affordable for me and even gave me a hug as I was leaving the exam room. On later visits she took numerous photographs of the temporary crowns in my mouth to enable Song's Dental Lab to create the best look possible. Dr. Hardy spent a lot of time with me during appointments to ensure I was completely happy without trying to oversell me. She was so sweet and skilled and sensitive to my situation rather than using it to take advantage of me as many other dentists have tried to do. All of the staff there are also especially nice and helpful. I happily recommend others to Dr. Hardy and consider her a treasure to have found at Alta Mesa Family Dentistry.

Very disappointed with my experience. I was told my son had seven cavities and was pressured to…read moreschedule treatment the next few days. After getting a second opinion from another dentist, I was told he had no cavities at all after another set of X-rays to confirm. To make matters worse, the office sent me a bill for services nine months later with no prior communication. Between the questionable diagnosis and delayed billing practices, I have lost all trust in this office. I highly recommend getting a second opinion before agreeing to any major dental work here. Or don't come here at all.

I was never told about this bill before. My insurance covers 2 times teeth clean for free every year. How could they underpay the $137 teeth clean by $95 in 2024, and why didn't the office let me know at that time, so that I could have talked with the insurance company then. I told them I needed more explanation for this bill. After yesterday's teeth clean I paid. The front desk lady said she would only charge me the current day bill, but she turned around charged me the current plus the $95. She lied right in front of me. How can I trust them for what they claimed that I owned them what the insurance unpaid. Avoid this office!!!

Dr. Do is hands down the best I've encountered. His bedside manner is exceptional, he is very kind, GENTLE and explains everything you need to know very clearly before and along the way. The office staff are also quite pleasant and friendly. One thing above all is this office is HONEST which I cannot say for most dentists /dental specialists that I have seen over the years and also in the Monterey area. I recommend him to anyone who asks and even people who don't ask. I can only hope to find a place like this at every duty station I move to. Thank you, Dr. Do, for showing me not all dentist visits have to be a terrible experience and that there are still truly honest and kind dentist out there who do phenomenal work!

He is careful, considerate, and extremely skilled. He lays out every option if you need to make a decision. He does not impose his opinion, but guides you through all of any possible outcomes. I was so impressed when he wanted to do something with my teeth that the insurance wouldn't pay for-- he called me back in, convinced that he could make them change their minds with another set of XRays. He was right. He saved me a thousand dollars because he cared. His mannerism is gentle and compassionate. As you might tell, I can't recommend him highly enough. I actually like going to the dentist.
