Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The Work done by her cost pain that did not exist
Came in for a cleaning. Knew from the moment I came in, it was going to be bad. my fault I did not leave. Waited over an hour passed my appt time. The hygienist was not gentle as I felt a lot of the poking into my gums. Than dentist said I should get rid of my 2 silver fillings and 1 of my wisdom. After redoing the fillings, I had extreme cold and hot sensitivity. I came back in a week to let her know. She ran X-rays couldn’t figure it out. I had some pain. She gave me antibiotics, took pain meds, referral to an endodontic. The pain eventually went away. But not the sensitivity. learned to just not chew on or put any cold/hot water on that side. 11m. later, I’m needing 2 root canals, 1 for a tooth she did 1 filling & 1 for an old root canal I had done 15 years ago. She also left silver all over 1 tooth and it needs to be redone. the other filling was soo close to the pulp it was causing the sensitivity, also left an air pocket. Had a tiny whole, cavity formed. Got to the roots.

Dr. Martinez is my new dentist and I am very happy with my choice. She is gentle and is genuinely concerned if I am in pain. Yesterday she took out the ugly old silver in my mouth and made them white- I feel like she shaved off at least 5 yrs making my teeth more youthful. Everyone in the office is nice and there’s always somewhere to sit AND she comes out to the lobby to greet you which I find very reassuring. She makes going to the dentist a pleasurable experience. Thanks

Sweet dentist. Really took care of me the same day. I was in pain all night and she called a prescription to my Rite Aid. Saw me in the morning.I was the first one in when she saw my pain. No other dentist has showed so much care. She is the best. Irma and Corina are great too!

Going to this dentist was waste of time. Rude and clueless staff, smelly carpet welcomes you as soon as you open the front door. They try very hard how they can get your money rather than caring about your pain. I wouldn't recommend this place.
