Select Dental - San Rafael, California

On first visit was good, actually *great* cleaning for the first time in years with a dentist and hygienist who seemed to really care & take the time. Took a long time to get that appointment but I figured they were just busy during that time (sometime beginning of 2022). During the cleaning & exam, small cavity discussed that I already knew about and has been there for years that another dentist had told me had basically halted progress, plus potentially one more. Receptionist presented me with a treatment plan after my cleaning for a filling (ok, could have changed over the years, however my last dentist didn't recommend a filling either at this point) for a couple thousand dollars. I told them I wasn't ready to schedule yet and needed to think about it, she tried to push me to just sign the treatment plan but I said no. Months pass, and no call, no reminder for cleaning, and it slipped my mind to make an appointment for next 6 months cleaning. When I realized many months later, I called and left a voicemail to schedule. Nothing. Weeks went by, and I called again and left another voicemail. Nothing. My husband was going in for a cleaning that he had previously scheduled and said he would ask them to call me. He did so, and receptionist said she would. Maybe a voicemail issue? Apparently not. Days go by, no call. Called again and left a voicemail, then finally received a call back. She (Elona? Ilona?) tells me the first available cleaning is in December. I told her it's frustrating to not get a reminder, a call or update that cleaning is due (pretty standard industry practice). To which she replies that the dentist is too busy for cleanings and only wants to work on crowns and fillings and other procedures. WHAT? You're a dentist that is overloading on patients and only wants to work on other procedures? If that's the case I wouldn't be coming to you in the first place for CLEANING. I asked if I should be booking every appointment for the next 3 years so that I can ensure a spot in his few available cleaning slots? Ilona then became super rude and told me that's impossible to schedule in advance, and Dr. Victor just doesn't have time. Seems to be the case that this dentist is only interested in you if you need to have work and will push you towards that, if you don't do it, they are MIA. So, for as good as I thought the initial cleaning.... No thanks, will look for another reputable dentist.

The new dentist at Select Dental in Terra Linda, Dr Perisa Kosha, is a dental goddess who is not only friendly and kind, but can work with my teeth - BRITISH TEETH!! - and achieve remarkable results.

In just two visits, she has greatly improved my smile with veneers, ensured that my bite is perfectly comfortable, and filled a small cavity. My time in the chair was among the most relaxing of my week!

She has also cleaned and checked my wife (who fortunately has much better teeth) and both our young children. She makes sure that any treatment is totally painless, and she is very concerned with her patients’ comfort and well-being.

Her office is also great at dealing with insurance companies and informing you accurately of any costs before you receive treatment. A shoutout, too, to Jessica, her excellent dental technician.

My highest recommendation.

I went to Dr Victor Cuadros for a regular cleaning and found out that I had an infection and a root canal was needed. Dr Victor was very detailed in the explanation, very professional and he answered all my questions. His patience showed how much he loves what he does. He and his excellent team (Elsa and Elona), go above and beyond in their job. I'd highly recommend Dr Victor Quadros to anyone that needs dental work and needs a great explanation to what's needed and why

Thank-you very much

Thank-you Dr Victor!

Highly professional team, extremely thorough, clean, and friendly. I always thought dental work was so expensive, but when I see the skills of this well-coordinated team in action, I feel like I'm getting a bargain. Good environment and nice view.

Unfortunately had a bad experience with Select Dental and Dr. Cuadros. I was NOT informed that I was terminated as a patient of Select Dental for months. I only found out by calling the office (which they are hard to get ahold of) and the receptionist returning my call 3 business days later only to give me a poor excuse without any transparency or direct communication. Please do better Select Dental.
