Had a very good experience with Dr. Taba and his staff. Everyone was helpful and explained the treatment I need very well. Vanessa went over my fees with my insurance and helped me schedule all my appointments. I’m very grateful for this staff! Definitely will continue with my routine visits!

This morning I had an appointment for checkup and cleaning. Rosio was my dental hygienist. She was very nice and gentle while cleaning my teeth. The rest of the staff was very kind and welcoming as well. I unfortunately didn’t get there names. But overall 10/10.

I went to Turlock Smiles for an exam and regular cleaning on 08/11/2023. While speaking with the dental hygienist, she asked what my income was. Not sure why the hygienist would ask this. That was the first red flag. She also informed me I need a deep cleaning but that she didn't have time for a cleaning. I never received a cleaning and was informed they refuse to do a standard cleaning even in the future. The dentist asked me many times if I had any sensitivity, as if the first no was the incorrect answer. When speaking to the person going over the treatment plan and patient responsibility numbers I noticed billing codes were incorrect and the patient responsibility amounts were incorrect. I just walked out at that point. I got a second opinion today and a regular cleaning at a different facility. I was informed I did not need any of the treatment that Turlock Smiles was recommending at all. Turlock smiles was trying to tell me that I need a crown replaced, and not one my insurance covers but one that they make in house ($1375). Today I was informed that removing the crown would open a can of worms from the new facility. I was told at Turlock Smiles I need 3 fillings(incorrect), an inlay (incorrect), wisdom teeth removal (incorrect), cosmetic repair for erosion (incorrect), and a deep cleaning (incorrect). They even said the fillings I supposedly need would cost $171 each. My patient charge under my insurance states $35-45 depending on the tooth. The lady got extremely rude when I mentioned the numbers were wrong. If I did not trust my instinct and pick up on the red flags I could have been scammed out of $5,925 as well as going through unnecessary dental work. Worse than western dental.

PLEASE! Do yourself a favor and don’t go to this place. If you have been going here like my wife and I have been for several years please(you’ll thank me later) get a second opinion before getting any more work done here. There is too much to type here, but let me just say that we,(like other 1 star reviews) unfortunately learned the hard way. Over $6000 spent here this last year for root canals, inlays, deep cleanings, etc that were NOT needed. On top of that, the dentist we are seeing now said the work that was done here is very poor quality.

Idk how these people sleep at night taking advantage of people in this climate. Working with a lawyer because I’m pretty sure they lied to me and convinced me into a completely unnecessary and very invasive procedure that has caused me life changing distress for months and months on end. I believe they completely lied about my X-rays in order to offer me an unnecessary 9000$ treatment Not to mention that I was made to wait for over an hour almost every visit, as if I don’t have an important life to get back to and can just be there all day with no knowing when I’ll leave. If you want me to come in 90 minutes later, make the appointment time 90 minutes later! Receptionists are rude and catty, constantly tried to sell me on several things I did not need-including saying I had several cavities I never even had, arguing amongst themselves, badmouthing other patients within earshot, they mock you, AND their stupid COVID measures were not only useless but excessive. I had people telling me to secure my mask literally a minute before telling me to remove it to work on my teeth. The hygienist was always SO hard on my teeth. I’ve spoken to three other people who had dangerously bad experiences here. This dental experience has affected my life and it’s unacceptable. If this other dentist I found isn’t in agreement with their seemingly bogus diagnosis it will be time to get any possible justice I can. I’m sure they’ll make it as difficult as possible every step of the way though. Just do honest work, why is that so hard? Don’t bother responding, the only time I’ll be calling is to get my X-rays. I miss my old gentle honest dentist, Dr Corso and Albertoni’s office in Oakdale is so so much better.

I came here for the first time in July 5th and loved how they explained everything with ease and how javy kept you updated from the time they were going to call you back, till the time you were heading out. After I finished my X-rays and sat down in another room I was approached by Dr. Entabi and he explained everything I needed throughly and with ease in order for me to understand. I don’t know how to explain it but he made me feel at home. I can tell Dr. Entabi is a very good and honest man with many hobbies that I’ve read about on their website. After he left Rosio, one of the hygienist there came in for my cleaning and she did an amazing job and was really nice to me. I didn’t feel no pain and there was no problem through the cleaning process. For my first time being here it was phenomenal experience and I certainly will be coming back.

I want to share my experience with you, as I find it right to share with others something that I EXPERIENCED and I’ ve liked. I came at this office for a hygiene scaling, then I was suggested to be seen by the doctor for a treatment plan. Even if I am going regularly at the hygienist, I am aware that there are many other causes for the "caries", like genetics. I was surprised to find out that i can have obturations inside the teeth even if I don't see it from outside. So for me it is very important to go to a professionist that knows his job and thats why I recommend something I was testing.

The dentist, Arfan Taba, is very professional and courteous. Fully recommend his services. However, the front staff are not helpful at all. I’ve called twice to get an itemized bill for my latest visit, but three weeks have passed and they haven’t sent anything. Whether it is because they are unwilling or incompetent, it is completely unacceptable. I have to take time off work to show up in person for something they could easily send through.
