Dino Bonyadi, DDS, Family and Cosmetic Dentistry - Santa Maria, California

My mom first visit with Dr Bonyadi was a great experience. He immediately puts you at ease with his calm and kind demeanor. The most impressive part of her visit was that Dr. Bonyadi took the time to show us the problem areas on my moms x-rays, which she has never had a dentist do before. This helped my mom to know why and how to care for her teeth better. Dr Bonyadi and his staff have a special way of making your visit personalized, comfortable and stress-free. I highly recommend Dr Bonyadi!

Dr. Bonyadi and all the staff was truly amazing. Brody was able to work with me on scheduling and fit me in rather quick. Xray tech Johanna was the nicest, super gentle and made sure i was comfortable at all times. Mireya (dental hygienist) was also very nice. Overall, great experience.

This dentist office bribes customers for good reviews. I chose this dentist because they took my insurance at the time and had only 5 star reviews. The office is clean, but they bribe you as you’re leaving to write a good review in exchange for a Starbucks giftcard. In addition, I recently made a next day appointment with them for tooth pain, but the next morning my daughter was sick and I had no babysitter for her and had to reschedule; I then got sent a $150 bill for needing to reschedule. They said they’re policy is to give 24 hour notice, but I made the appt less than 24 hours prior to appt time, meaning I couldn’t possibly give them an ample amount of notice, but also, that meant they would’ve had an empty time slot the next day had I not booked last minute. They refuse to cancel the fee and said I signed paperwork stating this 5 years prior. This is very greedy. I had tooth pain that I needed addressed, but couldn’t make my appt time because of my sick daughter. Shame on this office, I will never come here again.

I am a first time patient and the staff and Dentist are super friendly and welcoming. They really do cater to their clients needs as in they listen to what you have to say and answer your questions and make you feel comfortable while in the office. I highly recommend Dr. Bonyadi for any of your dental needs.

The staff and Dr. are very sweet and caring. You can tell Dr. Bonyadi has a passion for helping others. Highly recommend for general dentistry and TMJ treatment. I left that office feeling like a new person. Thank you so much Dr. Bonyadi! 🙂

My new patient experience was absolutely amazing.
Dr. Bonyadi’s office is my dental home. That’s exactly how they made me feel. I was treated like I was VIP from the moment I walked. I’m looking forward to my next visit!

I was going to this practice since before Dr. Bonyadi bought it and I was very happy with the previous dentist. I have been going to Dr. Bonyadi since he started, many many years ago.

For the last two years it has been hard to get in to get cleanings. He uses a dentist hygienist to provide the cleanings. When I schedule appointments for cleaning, she's been out on vacation or on medical leave. It's not through my own actions that I am not receiving cleanings. They don't reschedule me until over 8-9 months later.

Also, I don't like getting yearly x-rays due to concerns about radiation exposure and the staff seemed to have a problem with that. The last time I did take x-rays, Dr. Bonyadi barely looked at them so I felt like it was pointless. This coupled with how busy he always is - he barely comes in to the semi annual appointments to meet with me- it feels like he doesn't put patient care first unless you are constantly buying the products he's pushing. As I am not interested, I feel he doesn't want to check in with me about my teeth health.

The final straw is the letter his office sent me dropping me as a patient due to "our inability to establish a satisfactory dentist-patient relationship". I really feel like it is because I don't want to buy his products. Nothing happened at our last appointment that would otherwise cause this to happen. He didn't even stop in to meet with me about my teeth. I could however hear him in the next room trying to sell someone something.
