    So fast and painless. Best dental experience of my 52 years! Every staff member is kind and…read morefriendly. You will truly be happy if you choose Pima Dental.

    I previously had all of my upper teeth redone by Dr. Willman and invested a significant amount of…read moremoney in the process. She did outstanding work, and I truly appreciated her care. Dr Willman is no longer with the practice. Huge, enormous, gigantic loss for Pima Dental. About four months ago, I returned because I needed to molars extracted. Let me note that after the extractions I had fully intended beginning work on all my lower teeth, fully expecting to make another substantial investment. This practice is not inexpensive... in my view it is extremely overpriced (especially after I share what happened below). I was prepared to pay another substantial amount to complete my treatment. I did miss one appointment due to a personal emergency. I attempted to call but was unable to get through, and at the time my focus understandably had to be on the emergency. At my next scheduled appointment, I drove over 45 minutes from north Phoenix. I arrived and had X-rays done, and then met with a dentist who informed me that two teeth would need to be extracted by an oral surgeon and that the procedure could not be done there. While the dentist was courteous, the appointment ultimately resulted in a two-hour round trip simply to be referred elsewhere. I wish this had been communicated to me beforehand. As I was leaving, I was stunned when I was told not to leave and was informed that I owed a $50 missed-appointment fee. Mandy, the office manager, whom I had worked with before made it be known that I needed to pay $50. What disappointed me most was not the amount itself, but the complete lack of empathy or discretion--especially toward a long-standing patient who had already invested heavily in the practice and was prepared to invest significantly more. I understand that offices have cancellation policies. However, patient relationships should involve more than strict enforcement of fees. In my experience, this practice places profits above patient goodwill and patient satisfaction. Between the high costs of treatment and the rigid handling of this situation, it left me feeling that policies mattered more than people. As a business owner myself, I believe long-term trust, empathy, and relationships are what sustain a practice--not nickel-and-diming loyal patients. Unfortunately, this experience has led me to seek care elsewhere for the remainder of my treatment, and I will not be recommending this office moving forward ever again! I hope this feedback is taken constructively. My initial experience here was excellent, attributed primarily to Dr Willman, which makes this outcome all the more disappointing.

    I would give this office 10 stars if I could :)…read more I first saw them at the beginning of the year, because I had to get my wisdom teeth removed (YIKES!). Which honestly, I was really nervous about. But let me tell you, if you need a GREAT dentist/office team and live in Scottsdale, or willing to make the drive.... I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Miller and his staff. They are all so incredibly nice and genuinely care for their patients. Lisa in the front desk, is a doll, who I've been in contact with in all my scheduling matters and dental concerns. Every time I talk to her she is just as sweet as can be. There's never a problem getting in. In fact, they do what they can to make sure you get an appointment as soon as possible. For instance, I've been dealing with some toothaches and pains lately and told Lisa I was interested in scheduling an appointment. I work in the medical field, so I know how tough scheduling can be and I was willing to wait for the next availability. But, instead, Lisa responded to me quickly and they got me in like within the next 2 days. I mean, incredible! The staff here is just amazing. From the front desk, the dental assistants, the hygienists and of course Dr. Miller. Everyone is just great and I genuinely mean that. Each visit I'm left feeling like "Wow, they're so nice!". I was seen today for a check up and the dental assistants and front staff remember me from getting my wisdom teeth pulled and getting a horrible infection right after (Disclosure - Dr. Miller does not extract wisdom teeth, I went to a oral surgeon for that) at the beginning of the year and all asked how I was doing, and that was like 6/7 months ago! I mean, they're all so sweet. Dr. Miller is just hands down the best. His bedside manner is so nice. He asks questions and is genuinely there to help you through any dental problems, questions you have. Today I saw Kimberly Voss, along with Dr. Miller - and she is incredibly nice as well. She asked me a lot of questions about my concerns, but also about myself. She seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me and wanting to help fix my tooth pain. So sweet! Thank you Dr. Miller and staff for everything you've done for my dental care this year! You guys are amazing and deserve many more than 5 stars :)

    We moved to Scottsdale about six or seven years ago. My wife did a ton of research before picking a…read moredentist and she chose S&L with Dr. David Ngo. I went with a different place at first because it was closer to where we were living. Well, that turned out to be a mistake. I ended up having a bad experience there and finally switched to S&L. Dr. Ngo and his team fixed everything the other dentist had messed up. Right away I knew my wife had been right all along. I've been going to S&L for four years now and they really are the best dental office I've ever been to. Dr. Ngo has removed all my old metal fillings and replaced them with modern ones, plus he's done a couple of crowns for me. Everything looks and feels great. My wife has also been extremely happy with all the work he's done for her too. I'm almost 55 and I've seen a bunch of top-rated, highly recommended dentists over the years, both here in the US and a couple in Mexico. Nothing else comes close. One thing I have to mention is how good Dr. Ngo is with people who hate dental visits or get nervous about pain. His work is excellent, but it's the way he takes care of you that makes the biggest difference. For example, the way he does Novocaine shots is unbelievable. You barely feel it at all. Every dentist out there should learn his technique. With all that said, I do think the front office experience could be better. If the customer service up front matched Dr. David's clearly caring vibe, it would be 100% perfect. If you're looking for a truly professional dentist who gives five-star care and service, this is the place. Dr. David Ngo at S&L is the only one I would recommend without any hesitation.

    I chose this dentist because of all the amazing reviews, and so I thought I'd detail my experience…read morebecause it wasn't as perfect as the reviews make it seem. They seem very knowledgable and seem to know what they're doing when it comes to dentistry, but my concerns are more in the administration side of things. I changed jobs earlier this year and got new insurance with a common major insurance provider, and I needed to get a procedure done. I asked them what the procedure would cost and they gave me a quote, which was already expensive, and I paid that at the time of service. However, when I came in for a routine cleaning 6 months later, they said the insurance "didn't pay as much as they thought" and stuck me with MORE THAN DOUBLE their original quote. I looked into the insurance claim and called the insurance company myself, and the insurance company paid exactly what was according to their billing schedule. There were no surprises. I think the office knew (or should have known, because they're the professionals and this is what they do) that this would happen, and they dishonestly gave me a lower quote, did the service, and then stuck me with the even more expensive bill (but to their credit, they did give me a lower price than what they billed to insurance, but it was still VERY expensive that I was not prepared for). Additionally, I distinctly recall the procedure treated four teeth, but then on the bill and insurance claim, they say they treated six. Unfortunately, I don't really know how to argue this, especially because it happened so long ago. I suspect they didn't contact me about this issue earlier for this exact reason. Again, dishonest. Another concern with this dentist is that it's unprofessional that they use Zelle to get around credit/debit card transaction fees. Every merchant has to deal with card transaction fees, they shouldn't be up-charging that cost and they shouldn't be using Zelle, which is supposed to just be a peer-to-peer payment network. Lastly, as much as I love dogs, I don't think it's hygienic that they keep a dog in their office. In all, I started off loving this dentist, and very disappointed that they turned out to be this unprofessional and dishonest. I'm sad I'll have to go elsewhere from now on.

    If you are looking for an amazing Orthodontic office - look no further! Dr. Brigham, Dr. Ly and…read moreevery member of their staff provide the highest level of care. I've always been greeted with a friendly smile as soon as I walk in the front door by someone who remembers my name (and this is a busy office, how the heck do they remember every patient?!) The providers are genuine and explain every step of your treatment in terms any non-medical professional can understand. Before I started treatment with Brigham Orthodontics, my inflamed TMJ was hindering my quality of life. It was difficult for me to open my mouth, painful to chew food, and my face was visibly swollen from inflammation. I had been told by other providers I would most likely need surgery followed by traditional braces. In my initial consult with Dr. Brigham, he told me that he was 98% sure he could alleviate my TMJ symptoms and straighten my teeth with just Invisalign - no surgery, no traditional braces, and he was RIGHT! Dr B also believes that orthodontics shouldn't be classified as a medical luxury and every person deserves treatment; his office worked with me, my insurance, and set me up on a payment plan that I could afford. I cannot thank Dr. Brigham, Dr. Ly, and your beautiful staff enough! Each of you have impacted and changed my life so positively.

    The quality of care and attention to detail is second to none. Dr. Ly ensures that everyone that…read moresteps in the door is treated like family. Wait time has been reduced significantly from the beginning of my treatment. The office is a well oiled machine that puts your care above profits. I'm so happy with my smile.
