Glad I noticed the mistake myself and reminded them before the procedure. I do not understand how such an error happened, and it also appears that they billed my insurance incorrectly. The front desk staff were unfriendly as well. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience.

Do not go here if you have any sort of medical trauma or phobias! My experience getting a cavity…read morefilled by Dr. Cabrera was traumatizing at best. The first time I met Dr. Cabrera he seemed nice, but when I went to my appointment a year later he was standoffish at best. At that appointment they found my first ever cavity, and I made an appointment to have it filled. At my filling appointment, I shared that I have a severe needle phobia and was primarily afraid of the numbing injections. I also shared that this was my first ever cavity and I was nervous for this procedure that I had never experienced before. Dr. Cabrera seemed annoyed by this, but said my cavity was small and the type that any of the office staff would have done without numbing anyway. Because of this, we decided to proceed without numbing and check in during the process to reassess. We also established a signal for Dr. Cabrera to stop his work if it was ever too much and I needed a break. This is where the problems really started. 1. Every time Dr. Cabrera stopped to ask me if I needed to be numbed he would make comments like "but we're almost done" and "it won't be much longer" in an annoyed tone that made me feel afraid to actually ask to be numbed at that point. He made me feel like I was inconveniencing him. We must also have different definitions of almost done, or the cavity was bigger than anticipated and he didn't communicate that to me. My partner, who has had lots of experience getting cavities filled, was in the room with me and later expressed that my cavity took much longer to drill than Dr. Cabrera seemed to be indicating. 2. This is the most egregious and the part that actually traumatized me. At the end of the drilling process, after I had used the signal for Dr. Cabrera to stop successfully multiple times, I tried to use the signal again. This time Dr. Cabrera refused to stop. He completely ignored me and just kept drilling until he was done. This is the moment I lost all remaining trust in him, and the moment I became afraid of dentists which has changed my relationship to dental care for the worse. 3. After the drilling came the actual filling. Dr. Cabrera told me this process wouldn't hurt, I would just feel sensitivity. I don't know if this was a conscious lie or if he genuinely thinks that, but that sensitivity was the exact same type of pain I had been feeling when he was drilling. I will never go back to this office again. Dr. Cabrera broke my trust, traumatized me, and forever changed my relationship to dentistry in a way that is already negatively impacting my dental health around four months later. The practice's website states "Dr. Cabrera is a compassionate and warm general dentist that prioritizes everyone's needs while providing excellent comprehensive patient care." What a joke. Dr. Cabrera, if you see this, and I hope you do, DO BETTER.

I have really wanted to like this dentist but unfortunately that's not what it came to be after…read moreall. The first time I came here it was after a place that wanted to rip me off using a porcelain inlay instead of a filling... and this place accommodated me and it felt nice to be treated as a person rather than a money pot. However, some signs did show. It was hard to get an appointment, the hygienist seem to come in sick, and I had to come back for another appointment for the filling rather than the cleaning at the same time. I got charged for both appointments with an additional service charge of $5 just because I had to come another day. It was weird because my first appointment wasn't all that long either. The last time I was there was my final strike though. I wanted to get check another tooth for a filling but the doctor seemed to say it wasn't worthy of touching it for now. He started looking at my teeth in like less than a minute and said I just need a regular cleaning... I didn't get any perio charting or anything else. I asked why he didn't do a perio charting, and the response I got was that I had all threes or below and I was confused because there was no way that could be determined with how fast he took with a mirror check rather than the measuring device. Further adding to my appointment, the cleaning lasted less than 10 minutes. This is unheard of even if you have the best teeth! At the end, I was going to schedule my appointment but they said they don't book more than 2 months ahead of time (strange because my first appointment did), and that I had to be the one to reach out for an appointment rather than them. I don't know. The doctor and hygienist were nice but something is off about this office and how they handle their care. It just seems like they do the lowest of effort. Just wanted to share this review to give a heads up to others or hope this office can be better at their service and care.

At a previous appointment, they had a machine breakdown (which happens), but they then told me I needed to drive 38 miles to Santa Clarita to get the job done. After driving all the way there, they spent two minutes waving a wand over my teeth and then billing my insurance company, who refused to pay. The final straw: I needed to cancel and reschedule an appointment, and rather than being rude and disrespectful, I wanted to contact them by phone to give them a heads-up. After being on hold for over 17 minutes, they hung up on me. I called back; I was on hold again, and they finally answered after 10 minutes. I basically told the young man what happened, and his response was simply "we're busy" and "you're certainly welcome to take your business elsewhere."

When I first went in I needed a cleaning, I usually need a deep cleaning, so I didn't question when they suggested it. The dentist was informative, the staff was friendly. Even though I felt like they were upselling other services, it really wasn't any different than most shady dental practices. That is until I sent my 25 year old son in to get a cleaning. He was falling off my insurance in a week and only needed a cleaning. They did not do the cleaning, instead they told him he required a deep cleaning. I told him to pass on it and just do the standard cleaning that's included with insurance. Long story short, they told him they legally were not able to perform a basic cleaning because he required a deep cleaning. Mind you, he's 25 years old and has excellent dental habits and a million dollar smile. I ended up calling the office and the office manager (forget his name) was so rude and unprofessional. He wouldn't let me speak with the owner and insisted my son needed a deep cleaning. The whole thing was extremely ridiculous and I have no doubt this place is only in business to cheat patients and scam insurance. I hope they go down fast.
