Dentists

Dr. Patel was very accomiating when I needed emergency dental work done. Being someone who has a fear of the dentist, Dr. Patel put all my worries at rest and has helped my teeth stay healthy. Highly recommend if needed.

I was lucky enough to go to Dr. Sales for a dental emergency. Despite her busy schedule she agreed to see me immediately. After examining and treating me she refered me to an oral surgeon, calling him herself. Despite her office closed at 5pm, she kept her office open well after her office hours to ensure all of my needs were met. I am absolutely impressed with her knowledge, ability and humanity. I hope to make her my permanent dentist.

First of all I have a fear of dentist. The dentist here at Smile Zone elevated my fears. The work I had done was easy for me to handle. They were great with me on last minute appointments.

Went in for the 1st time with an emergency. Dr. Le and her amazing team took awesome care of me. The kindness and professionalism cannot be matched. Many Thanks to all of you.

Great attention for the kiddos

I didn't like this place in the beginning because of bad service I had Received but now they have a new doctor and manger name Dr T he is one of the best doctor I had ever had I went in to the place to get work done and had the best Experience with Dr T. One of the best doc and manger at western dental I recommend him to everyone

Referred by a colleague a few years ago, upon walking in and meeting the front office people, Martha and all, I felt warmly welcomed and got an appointment set up quickly. Dr LeMay has an excellent group of people working together. Missy is an excellent hygienist and fun to be around. Several different procedures, from surgery, extraction, to simple yearly cleaning and I know Dr LeMay has given me a painLESS experience each time. I am always surprised that there is no bruising, nor pain. The DR has great hands and skills!

I've moved around a lot over the past 15 years, so I've had a bunch of different dentists. Now that I'm settled down I'm so glad we have Desert Dental Alternatives. My whole life I've had somewhat crappy teeth, but at least now I'm being cared for by someone I trust. Dr. Lemay is also very personable. If I have to get novocaine injections, at least it's with a dentist and staff I enjoy visiting (other than the actual injections and drilling - that's going to suck regardless). As an aside, a previous dentist said I needed a new crown on a particular tooth. Dr. Lemay showed me the x-rays and explained how a new crown was totally unnecessary. The other doctor was just looking to close a gap between my teeth! I carry floss sticks when I go out, the gap never bothered me. =-) Floss sticks cost a lot less than a crown.

I went to this dentist about 1 year ago to have a filling that fell out replaced. I was talked into a deep cleaning of course more than my insurance covered and had to pay out of pocket. I had half of this service done and was asked to go back to finish. I asked about the missing filling and was told they never quoted me for that and the dentist himself (who was just working in my mouth for 35 minutes) said he didn't see a missing filling and It wasn't needed. I opted to never go back if he can't even see what he's doing. I don't have a fear of dentist and would like to keep it that way. Well fast forward to now they owe me over a hundred dollars back. They never attempted to contact me to let me know. I only found out because of my flex spending plan being suspended. I need medical care and need this years flex spending to get it. I have been down multiple times and called many many times. These people are making reason after reason to avoid giving me my money back and now not answering my calls. This has been going on for weeks.

I went there last year for a check up that was required prior to surgery. They told me that I needed a procedure called "pocket reduction" and that if I didn't have it done, I would die a early death. I asked how much it would cost me and they quoted just over $22,000,00 that's TWENTY TWO THOUSAND American dollars. But they DID offer me a one thousand dollar discount if I would have it done then and there. Does that remind you of "honest John" the used car salesman?! I told them I would think about it and I left. When I got home, I looked on line for doctors that did this procedure and the very first one I called asked me to come in for a 2nd opinion (at no cost). So I did and he also recommended the procedure. But the cost was only $6,000.00, so just over a quarter of the price at gentle dental. And this guy was no fly by night, he's had his office here in Riverside for many years and in fact is an assistant professor at the local dental college so I at least trusted HIS opinion. If nothing else, this should be an encouragement to you to ALWAYS get a 2nd or even 3rd opinion when a doctor tells you that you need a procedure, or when his price is so outrageous, even when your insurance covers some of it. Or when his office staff sounds like they're trying to sell you a used car.

Great orthodontics very nice staff.

Love the office staff and Dr. Gordon! Wonderful experience! :)
