    Pentecost fixed a scratch on my tooth (with bonding), it was minor--but another dentist had caused it--he was nice and did a truly awesome job.

    Since there is no zero, I put 1. Since my visit I have…read morereceived 2 letters back from my insurance company indicating that none of the required information of the doctor's business was completed to process my claim. None. I went in, handed over the incomplete docs and requested Kristin resubmit it. If I get 1 more letter back that is incomplete, I will contact California Department of Consumer Affairs and the BBB. It seems that as soon as I paid them upfront, my concerns and their responsibility to me were of no consequence to them.

    If you are reading this because you are searching for a new dentist, I would suggest that you just…read moredon't walk, but you run up the hill! I would give ZERO stars if i could. I had been excited to finally find someone that took my insurance again. I had my establishment appointment today where they did a full set of xrays. Two hours later, but not more than 10 minutes actually talking to Akbari, I walked out with not much more than a 10,000 dollar treatment plan and very little explanation about the treatment recommendation or information about options. When I asked how they would do the procedure for MY personal condition, she showed me a YouTube video for the procedure but treating a different condition instead! She started the video and almost immediately walked out the room, leaving me to watch by myself! Before she walked out, she DID say that the video should tell me everything I would need to know but let her know if I had questions. Well, I actually did have questions, but the only other staff I was able to see after that was the front desk lady who came in to give me my treatment plan and cost. When I told her I had more questions for the dentist, she didn't actually let me talk to Akbari , but instead, asked me what my questions were, quickly consulted the notes on my treatment plan, and confirmed to me that I needed the treatment. Well, that wasn't my question!! With all that said, I did not leave the office with a good feeling at all. Just worry. Because even if I did decide to do the procedure, it wouldn't be by that office for sure! my dentist is yet to be found. Not only did Akbari do a poor job communicating to me details about my condition, information about my options and what to expect with the recommended procedure , she came off as cold, uncaring, and maybe even a little mean. She did look at two "concerning" areas in my mouth. The first spot, she was a bit more gentle. She barely touched it with her dental pick and then asked if it was sensitive. When I said no, she then took out the air syringe and roughly , I'd say almost angrily, blasted two or three hard puffs of air on that spot which did make me flinch then before telling me that she wanted to move me back into the xray room and will continue the exam in there! I really thought those blasts of air were unnecessary, especially if she was just going to move me into another room before continuing her "exam" anyway! And the xray room took time to set up! I wish I would've thought to look up reviews on Mehta and Akbari before going in. My experience was similar to these reviews and I'm not surprised at all at the low ratings. I guess my search for a good dentist continues.

    I have not lived in Eureka for three years, but I often find myself still thinking about how…read moreamazing Dr. Kime was and how much I miss having him as my dentist. Dr. Kime was the first dentist who took my jaw pain seriously. Previous dentists said there was nothing that could be done about my persistent jaw pain, but Dr. Kime explained that wearing a night guard would help (and it did). I had previously developed a lot of anxiety about going to the dentist because I knew that keeping my mouth open for so long would cause my jaw to become tense and, at times, lock up. However, Dr. Kime listened to me, believed me, and always made sure I was comfortable. I also got an amazing teeth whitening at Dr. Kime's. I had told him and his staff that I was getting married and the whitening really helped boost my confidence on my wedding day. In fact, years later, I still feel so much confidence from having whiter teeth. The process was easy, comfortable, and stress free. Dr. Kime and his staff were all so generous and kind during my time as a patient there. I will always compare my dentists to Dr. Kime and I will not settle for substandard dentistry again because I know that amazing dentists are out there. If you ever read this Dr. Kime (or staff), thank you so much.

    So far I have no complaints besides the fact that he is so pricy and doesn't really work with you…read morethat well. But he is nice so far, his staff is all very friendly, and he is fast -- he gets you in and out which is a plus. He could be a little more gentle, I have always had a huge fear of dentists and I get anxiety like no other.. So that's one thing he could improve on. But other then that, he's great so far. I've got some extensive work that a needing to be done because I was in a serious car accident 4 months ago breaking my whole face (Le Fort III fracture) which caused one of my front teeth to fall out and he seemed super eager to get it fixed and get my smile back. So here's hoping that goes well. (:
