Im going to start with the first time I saw them. I had an impacted wisdom tooth. They took it out. The doctor did a good job. X-rays were free. They were nice through the process. No problem there. Therefore, I came back a year later when I was experiencing tooth pain with nerve pain involved so I asked for an examination. The receptionist said I should schedule a cleaning and that would include an x-ray and exam. They took the x-rays, the hygienist did the cleaning and told me the pain was due to a severe gingivitis. She called the doctor to make sure, and he took 5 minutes to glimpse at the x-rays and give a quick look at the tooth that was hurting. He didnt sit down to examine me carefully nor tap my teeth to find out what was the problem. He said my X-rays didnt show anything and it was the gingivitis. I went back home and after taking Advil, doing the rinses and flossing for a couple of weeks, my gums felt better but my tooth was still hurting and the nerve pain was getting worse. I called them back to have them checked me again, but the receptionist said I should give it a bit more time. I insisted on an appointment and went back later that week. The doctor didnt see me but only the hygienist, and she quickly look at my tooth and said it was fine. It didnt seem right to me but I trusted her. She told me to come back in a week if it didnt improve. Well, that weekend and after 2 days since my last visit it didnt improve but got worse and was in excruciating pain. I developed an abscess due to an infection and had to find another doctor who I could trust. The new doctor told me I needed a root canal which I got immediately and was extremely painful due to the severe infection and abscess. If they had examined me properly I could had avoided all this and had the root canal done before it was so infected. Not to mention the nerve pain I had to endure thinking it was a bad gingivitis. Not to mention all the ibuprophen I had to take to bare the pain for weeks, and the strong antibiotics I was put on, which messed up my stomach. Im sure they are not this bad all the time, but they need to improve in their caring for patients and give you an appointment with the doctor if the patient is not responding to treatment.

The Doctor is really kind and passionate, the clinic never charged me for exam and x rays, I do not have Insurance, I needed extraction of a tooth that was hurting really bad, the doctor gave me a discount, did not charge me for exam, pulled the tooth without any pain at all, He was very considerate and caring and the clinic called me the next day to check if I was doing ok, the front desk was really nice, they all speak Spanish and you dont feel out of place, I went back for my cleaning and exam, the hygienist was wonderful and explained to me about regular cleaning and check up, I already referred the clinic to my friends, I am happy to post this review, to let people know what a wonderful doctor and staff they have there
