Veronica Avalos, DDS

I had an awesome experience over here. This place deserves a 5 star rating. I was looking into a new dentist and a friend recommended this place. They made me feel welcomed. The facility is well kept and everything looks clean and brand spanking new. Parking is easy and readily available. Nothing but good things to say. I recommend this place to everyone!

There is always a bit of anxiety when going to the dentist, but this place makes it painless. The staff is great and so is the service. five stars

I have a lot of history with pain and anxiety when going to the dentist. It has never been easy for me. Until I started going to Dr. Veronica Avalos and her team. This place is like visiting family. Everyone at this office is friendly, professional and especially sensitive, communicative and understanding. I have had over 15 years with Dr. Avalos and with that time, a lot of work completed. All of my experiences have turned out positive and (I can’t believe I am using this word with dentistry), wonderful. The hygienists Ildiko, Carina, Sandy and Leti are all great and clearly enjoy their workplace as they’ve been there for so long! The office staff clearly explain the insurance coverage and help with follow up. Dr. Patel and Dr. Joy are also superb additions to this office. EXCELLENT! If there were more than 5 stars they’d get our entire families vote. We all love it here!

I’ve been going to Dr Veronica Avalos for 15 years and can truly say she is the best dentist ever! Dr. Avalos is caring, attentive, informative and an outstanding dentist! She and her staff are friendly and professional. And they’ve always been on time, too! Hygienists Ildako and Sandy are awesome! I highly recommend Dr. Avalos. Five stars!

Outstanding service. DrAvalos takes the time to explain procedures… goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable. I just had a major procedure and Dr Avalos made sure I did not feel anything.
I have been going to her for many years and I will continue to do so I have confidence in Dr Avalos her ability and talent.
Simply the Best

Dr. Veronica Avalos is among the best of the best, and I’ve been blessed with great dentists my entire life. Friday evening my #29 tooth fractured. Specifically, a piece of the tooth along with a portion of attached amalgam (from a filling done 45 years ago) broke off. I called Dr. Avalos’ pager and she returned my call soon thereafter. She asked me to come in Monday morning, AND to page her over the weekend should I experience any pain in the interim. Monday morning I went in and two x-​rays were taken of that specific area (only). Dr. Avalos fit me in for the next day (Tuesday) to begin part one of the two-​visit procedure to crown the tooth. She made sure I was comfortable throughout Tuesday’s procedure. Dr. Avalos and her team have worked together for a long time, so in a sense each knows what the others will do before they even do it. They are a seamless team. I recommend Veronica Avalos, D.D.S. very highly.

For anyone who is interested, you can follow my very long posts about Dr. Avalos. This is yet another update.
On Thanksgiving I cracked a tooth. This is very concerning for me because of all the root canals I’ve had and because I’ve had open heart surgery and I don’t want bacteria getting into my blood stream. I’ve already been in the hospital twice this year and that’s enough for me.
So I call Dr. Avalos office on the first day I could, which was Monday. I’ve already held off from Thanksgiving until that Monday.
I was given an appt. for the following day, Tuesday the 2^nd at 3:40, perfect except I had a migraine when I woke up that day. After being told my only other option was a 9:00 am appointment the 3^rd (that was it for the week), I decided to self medicate my migraine and I did get there at 3:40, feeling bad for sure, but I did get there. I entered the office and the smells overwhelmed me, as they usually do when one has a migraine. In addition there were very loud children running around so I very quietly told thereceptionist I was going to wail outside. 5, 10, 15 mins go by. I ask when they will be ready for me, but now throwing up is a certainty. She said the room was ready, but it was too late for me. I told her. She was on the phone and I needed out of there so I mouthed to her «I’m leaving and need the 9:00 appt. tomorrow. She tried to get me to stay, but it was too late. Had they not made me wait for 15 mins I probably could have at least had the tooth looked at.
So I set my alarm for 6:00 a.m.and get all ready to go. I show up there at 9:00 am and checked in. I’m waiting and waiting and finally the receptionist comes out to tell me that someone called me the night prior and told me the 9:00 was already taken.
WTH!!! So now I’ve made 2 valiant efforts to see Dr. Avalos after her very?? sincere? note telling she wants me back as a patient. I am livid. NO ONE called me the night before, so don’t lie! I am a pain in the butt with all my medical issues but that does not excuse all the run around I got. And worse of all, I could see Dr. Avalos working on a patient and I’m sure she knew what was happening. She also had seen me the day before as I was leaving.
So I soldiered through it the first day and they were late, so then I got up 3 hours early so I could make it to my second appt. and was told a lie, and again she wouldn’t see me. So I supposed it’s off to find another dentist. God I hate this. Dr. Avalos is a great dentist, but I’m done with her. I guess her desire to have me as a patient really wasn’t that strong and I’ve had it with all the insincerity and now being lied to, No thanks.

It seems as if her whole office is trying to bring her business down to the ground. You wait forever just to get an appointment and yet nothing gets done when you finally get in. Rude administrative services & horrible communication/​patient skills!
I deleted this business ph# off from my business contacts and will never go to this place again! Waste of time & money.

I’ve had a lot of anxiety my whole life when it comes to going to the dentist. I wouldn’t allow my parents to take me until I was 12 years old and had 7 cavities and couldn’t wait any longer… so for me to be giving a dentist five stars, you know this is a good dentist. I know a couple other people who go to Dr. Avalos, and we all seem to agree on her approach. Dr. Avalos takes a real inventory of who you are, and what your individual needs are, and pairs you up with a hygienist that she knows will suit you, although any one of them is awesome and they too will customize their approach to suit your needs. Her own «chairside» manner is always the perfect mix of professional and personal. Ever since I chose Dr. Avalos as my dentist, I’ve actually gotten over a lot of the anxiety I had surrounding the whole endeavor, and I never put off scheduling my appointments anymore like I used to. The whole staff has a way of making you feel comfortable, but you also feel like you’re in an office that is running like a finely tuned machine. No corners cut, all the needed technology at their fingertips to provide the best and most efficient service possible. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Avalos and her staff.

Dr. Avalos and her staff are wonderful! They are very pleasant, professional, and welcoming every time. They take a genuine interest in my needs and make certain that i am well taken care of from start to finish. I leave the office completely satisfied. I recommend Dr. Avalos and her staff to all my friends and family.

I went to Dr. Avalon because my previous dentist had really messed my mouth up! Bad root canals, fillings and crowns… You name it I had it. Dr. Avalos is a true professional and nothing short of a perfectionist. She fixed my teeth issues but also explained to me why it happened and how I can prevent it from happening in the future. Her staff is top notch from the office staff to the hygienists and assistants. I cannot recommend Dr. Avalos enough!

I brought my soon to be husband to Dr. Avalos’s office. He was in need of a front tooth. He had visited a dentist a total of 3 times in his lifetime and being in his 40’s, he was needing my hand. Dr. Avalos, came in and her assessment of my husbands dental situation and emotional state were spot on. Not only was he in need of a front tooth, he was also dealing with 2 cavities on both sides of the needed tooth. She informed us very calmly of what needed to be done by letting us see everything. The technology that she uses is of high quality and she was able to communicate as well as visually show us dental terminology simply. She was amazingly skilled at handling both with ease and precision and within a hour and a half we were ready to leave.
I couldn’t believe it and he was so grateful as well as myself as our wedding photos have my husband gorgeously smiling:)
Thanks Dr. Avalos, we will be back!

After having to «graduate» from my pedeatric’s dentist I was so scared to have to go to someone else, my mom had recommended Dr. Avalos and I could not be anymore pleased with choosing her. She is amazing, along with her staff. So helpful and make everything seem so smooth. I have had some small and big work done and with all my procedures that I’ve had, they have done nothing but made it as easy as possible and convient for me! Thank You to Her & that amazing Staff!

Dr. Avalos and her staff are nothing less than amazing at what they do. Going to the dentist can be quite stressful but with Dr. Avalos, I can actually look forward to the experience, it’s hard to imagine but it’s always a pleasant experience.
From her warm, caring demeanor, to the great work her and her staff perform, it’s always a pleasure visiting her office. When I come into the office, I’m always greeted by a kind young lady at the front desk. I’ve had the pleasure to have two different Hygienists work on my teeth and they’re always kind, and gentle, not to mention fun to chat with!
The work I’ve had done ranges from basic cleanings to fillings and the work is always done painlessly, and very professionally.
I now live about an hour away from Dr. Avalos’s office but am happy to make the trek from Napa to see her and her staff. In fact, I can honestly say I look forward to it, yes, it’s true, she and her staff are like friends and always take great care of their clients.

Dr. Avalos is awesome. My mother-​in-​law, wife, and I all go. Her staff is always friendly, helpful, and totally professional.
Dr. Avalos is just a super warm, and happy person who is a pleasure to be around. Anytime I have any concerns she’s very responsive.
After many bad childhood memories of dentists and orthodontists, I almost look forward to my check-​ups every 6 months.

A woman I worked with at Genentech referred me to Dr. Avalos.
The experience of being her patient is sublime. She takes it
to another level. It helps that she’s charming, but she’s very professional
and capable too. She teaches at U of P too.
Dr. Avalos inspired someone very close to me to become a dentist.
If you can get an appointment with her it will change your perception
of dentists.

I, like most people, don’t like the Dentist. I don’t like to go for any reason, I try to avoid it whenever possible. Bad childhood memories and experiencing way too many «normal» Dentists have led me down this path of detest. Now, don’t get me wrong, I do go to the Dentist, I mean I am not an 18 year old who for the first time in my life gets to make my own decisions and avoids any and all responsibility… I know I have to go and I know that if I don’t my teeth will pay the price down the road, but just like everyone else I still hate doing it.
That was until my buddy told me about Dr Avalos. No sh! t; this lady is AMAZING (I don’t use the term lightly) but she is the real deal Dentist. Friendly, patient, gentle, understanding, never pushy, takes time to explain exactly what your options are, and very reasonable when it comes time to settle up.
Dr Avalos and her staff are all on top of their game, from the hygienists to the receptionist… all very nice, lovely ladies who are good at what they do.
If you’re new to the area, or just hate your «normal» Dentist, do yourself a favor… Go see Dr Avalos, you will not be disappointed.

C’mon now. How many of you can say you LOVE your dentist? I honestly can say that I do. I, as well as others that I have referred to Dr. Avalos, absolutely love her.
The consummate professional, Veronica does incredible work, has great technique, is very reasonable, and has a sensible approach with regard to dental care. Sensible in that she’s not going to suggest you do a bunch of dental work that you really don’t need just because your insurance will take care of it. Overall, she has some really great and important qualities anyone would want in a dentist and has an incredible staff. Highly respected among her peers in the industry, Dr. Avalos is smart, no nonsense, and is highly ethical. She’ll remember details about you, your family, and is genuinely interested in each of her clients and always strives to provide the best possible service.
If you’re scared or apprehensive about going to the dentist (who wouldn’t be), Dr. Avalos is the dentist for you. Besides, it’s just amazing to me to see a beautiful, professional, bright, genuinely sweet, and highly intelligent woman just do her thing…
Oh, by the way, once I arrived for an appointment and I believe that Dr. Avalos had one of her staff members drive an elderly patient back home because she didn’t want to have her take the bus. Now how incredible is that? Would your dentist do that??? :) The staff is AMAZING also. There’s just good chemistry here that can’t be denied.
Also, I had to see a specialist once and he said that as a dentist himself, Dr. Avalos was probably only 1 of 3 dentists in the Bay Area that he would have work on him.
