Nestor Aquino, DDS

I had a good experience here. The dental office is simple and not too extravagant but the Doctor is friendly and knowledgeable and his Assistant’s are nice. The doctor quickly reviewed my X-​rays and diagnosed any issues. He and his staff were also really great about a mix up around a teeth bleaching I was scheduled for. Despite the misunderstanding, the Doctor was very accommodating and understanding when they could have made things difficult. It’s nice to know there are good people around taking care of your teeth!

This office is a joke. First of all everyone in the office is Filipino and will speak their native language no matter if the customer is present. The receptionist was very nice. When it came time for the assistant to do my X-​ray, she seemed to know what she was doing. My issue was with dr. Aquino Nestor, he came in, didn’t bother to introduce himself and started to check my teeth. He kept talking to his assistant the whole time in Tagalog, and seemed to be in a rush. Needless to say I won’t be going back to such an overpriced rude «Dr.» Like Aquino. Save yourself time and don’t come here unless you are paying out of pocket. They only seem interested in the people who don’t have insurance and will pay cash! Crooks like them shouldn’t be around

This is a husband and wife team. Ms Dentist is wonderful. If I had all the money in the world, I might not be on Unilocal looking for a new dentist. But I have dental insurance instead of money and this practice does not want to do any service my insurance covers.
They did to me what i see in a lot of other reviews — kept telling me that what I needed was not covered by my insurance. I paid $ 800 for a crown and then was told I needed a few more crowns — and no — while my insurance covers all sorts of crowns — none that they will use.
I finally realized that they just wanted more $ than my insurance reimburses and demanded a receipt with the procedure code so I could see if my insurance really does not cover it. But the crowns I need don’t have procedure codes, they tell me. Right.
And like the other poster said, after 4 years, they still don’t have my name right.
So great dentistry does not make up for shady business practices.
If you go here, make sure you are not being charged for things your insurance should be covering. And bring a book to read.

Ugh, this makes me sad. My husband and I both had 9am appointments and they day before we get a call to change them to 9:30am. Okay… whatever. I get in before my husband but he doesn’t get in until 50 minutes later! Needless to say, he was pretty upset.
Whomever they have in the office is terrible too. Not only did she tell me I spelled my name wrong (I do have awful handwriting, but I’ve spelled my name correctly for most of my life) but she kept calling the tech the wrong name. She also told me my appointment was over, and on my way out Mr. Aquino stopped me because I wasn’t finished. On the way out for the second time the office person told me to schedule an appointment so I stood there waiting for her and she never came back. So! I left to return later to get my husband.
Sadly one of my fillings has a small hole in it, and the Mrs. Aquino stressed it was itty bitty teeny tiny and it would take only a moment to fill. Normal cost of a filling is $ 95, but she offered it to me for $ 80. I dunno… she made it seem pretty small and no inconvenience and to just offer 15% off seems silly. Don’t make it seem like it’s not a big deal at all if you aren’t going further down on the cost. Just sayin.
Also, I have shallow gums on my lower front teeth and when I got home from the cleaning there was still something left in there from breakfast. I’d assume a cleaning and polishing would’ve taken care of this. I have a permanent retainer in the back of my lower front and both times I’ve been there they haven’t cleaned that area at all.
Just not a great experience…

Crooks. Lost my appointment. Tried to get me to lie on dental forms. Wasted my time by telling me that I could only get an x-​ray and exam, even though I asked for a cleaning on the phone. I’d rather go to a dentist than go to this dentist.
