Maria Asela Caces-Tiamson, DDS, Inc.

I love this dentist. She took excellent care of me and taught me about the ins and outs of my insurance coverage. And when I lost my insurance… She let me set up a payment plan. I had to get a deep cleaning and tons of fillings. (I’m not proud that I needed so much work, but it is what it is) Actually she had to redo a bunch of fillings that another dentist butchered. It wasn’t easy but she made it as good as could be. I need to go see her again for a regular cleaning. See you soon Doc. Sweet, my first review on Unilocal — check! Oh yeah… she has ridiculously long hours too, that made it so dang convenient.

I have been going to maria for eight years. She has been amazing with my family. She gives excellent services. She does anything to help her patients. Her and her staff are really nice. I’m just so happy my kids love going to her.

My two visits to this office were the worst dental experiences of my life. She claims to be «gentle,» but both the hygienist and the dentist herself were anything but. The hygienist basically jams the instruments into your mouth, jerks your head around, and otherwise mauls you. I had to get a few fillings, which took a couple of hours, and the dentist didn’t let up once to give me a break. My neck started to hurt terribly but I couldn’t say anything with all the instruments in my mouth or even move my arm to get her attention because they were both leaning against me in such a way that I was pinned down. She finally got the hint when tears started coming out of my eyes (and I am NOT a person who cries easily), and then she scolded me for not saying anything. Then it turned out she had totally messed up the fillings and my new dentist had to do a bunch of work to fix it (which luckily my insurance covered). On top of all this, the equipment looked old and stained, and they do not clean the office well, if at all. The first time I went, there was a dead cockroach in the corner of the waiting room, and when I went back for the fillings three weeks later, it was still there. I should have walked out right then and there and saved myself a lot of pain. DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST!!!
