Katherine D Sanchez, DDS

How do you give a place zero stars? The only reason why this woman has any good reviews is because patients are ignorant and have absolutely no idea what they are talking about when it comes to dentistry. Her patients like her because she sends them all home with giant boxes of toothbrush’s, toothpaste, toys and crap that they don’t need! This woman is a joke! Do not waste your time or money using this woman as your provider! Patients need a Dr that actually does dentistry. Her cleaning’s consist of her barely touching the teeth for a split second with a cavitron tip as to make it appear or seem like she is actually cleaning the teeth. She’s not… This woman is so full of herself! Her associates can’t even stand her. She runs her mouth more than she actually works on them. The office is immaculate and she can diagnose and talk like she knows what she’s doing but when it comes to actually performing anything productive, she’s garbage. She emasculates her husband in front of her staff. I feel sorry for those that she’s fooled for so many years. Just because a Dr loads you up with boxes of goodies and sends you out the door doesn’t mean they are a competent good dentist. This woman is a huge fraud!

I have been a patient of Dr. Sanchez for over 10 years. I absolutely love her. I started seeing her when I lived in Tracy and continued seeing her after I moved out to the Bay Area. Since then I had 2 children, who have also became patients of Dr. Sanchez. She is so friendly and patient and extremely giving. The kids love going to the dentist with all thanks to her and whenever a specialist will be needed she makes sure to point you in the very best direction. She always refers only the best and I truly don’t mind the hour drive to go and visit her office. I also love that her office is open one Saturday every month. Love, love this office and staff.

I love Dr. Sanchez!!! I actually look forward to the dentist every 6 months now. She is so gentle and super friendly too. I have really bad tmj pain and she tells me to take breaks and rest my jaw while she’s cleaning. The staff is great too. The office is clean and friendly. Highly recommended.

My family and I have been going to Dr Katherine Sanchez’s office for years. We love going to her detal office. She is very gentle and thorough whenever she does dental work. The place is clean and her staff are all helpful. She and her husband always listen to patients’ feedbacks… and they always make sure if there were some wrong doings, they apologize make it right and that it will not happen again.
My kids have been going to her since they were little (from their first visit ever)… my boys are now 12 & 9 years old. Our daughter is now 3 years old and will soon be her new patient. My kids said «I love going to Dr. Sanchez. I don’t wanna go to any other dentist.» She is very compassionate, caring, and very precise on all the work she does. I know she does have associates in her office that I sometimes see, but she will always make sure to check up with me and make sure everything is OK. That is why I am so surprised to see some bad reviews about her office. I have been into some bad dental offices before, and I know Dr. Katherine Sanchez’s office is not one of them.
I remember when I broke my front tooth few years back, she made sure she is the one who fixed it and not her associate. (I would not let the other associate do it anyways… and she knows that too.) She did a great job and my front tooth couldn’t have looked any better.
Thank you Dr. Sanchez and staff for making our dental visits pleasant experience everytime.

My family and I have been going here for a few years now and love it. The office is clean and the equipment is modern. Dr. Sanchez is very professional and considerate. She is very generous on giving free clean supplies (tooth brush, tooth paste, etc.) Also she gives her patients their own copies of x-​rays, which many dentist don’t. Her staff is of a variety when it comes to customer service. Pricing can be a bit confusing at times, but she puts in good work! If anyone is looking a new regular dentist they can visit, I recommend checking out Dr. Sanchez office.

Dr. Sanchez is a perfectionist, considerate, passionate, and caring. As a patient, I feel comfortable with her knowing I will not feel pain. She always explains everything and educates for future prevention.
Her waiting room is lovely. You must check it out during Christmas time too. She decorates her office according to the season/​holiday.
Last but not least, she is very giving. She gives a generous amount of goodies — good toothbrushes, newest toothpastes, floss, and playful items for the kids.

I have been to at least 15 different Dentists over a period of 30 years, but NONE have come even CLOSE to being as gentle, thorough and caring as Dr. Sanchez. Like most people, I’ve despised going to the Dentist in the past, but I just can’t believe my luck to have found her. I have never had a Dentist care SO much about every aspect of my comfort from the chair, to the taste of products, to even the dryness of your lips! And on top of that… She’s an artistic perfectionist. She won’t quit until your filling, repair, whatever, looks like nothing was ever done to it. Really amazing. As I read back over what I’ve typed, I realize this sounds a bit over the top and gushing, but let me just say this; I was so pleased with my appt to fill three fillings 20 minutes ago that I felt it was my RESPONSIBILITY to let others know there IS a place you can go to be taken care of — without pain, and not dread going to the Dentist anymore. Be well my friends!

Dr. Sanchez, I have to say, is one of the sweetest, most considerate dentists I know. Before she works on you, she always asks if you are comfortable and if you feel any discomfort to tell her. Not only does she say this, but she means it. The patient always comes first. She always wants to make sure her patients are taken cared of. If you want a dentist who will listen to you, Dr. Sanchez is the one to go to. Her staff is also always pleasant and she never lets you leave empty handed. She is always so generous when it comes to freebies for the children. This place is definitely worth giving a shot if you’re looking for a dentist in Tracy.

I have been going to Dr K Sanchez for over 2 years and I love it. The place is very clean and upscaled. Herself and her staff are very friendly and answers any question you have for them. Dr Sanchez has light hands and you can’t even tell she’s working on your teeth. She is quick, precise and loves to get to know her patients. If only she will accept the insurance I carry. I would continue going to her. But unfortunately she doesn’t.

I hate giving this place 2 stars, because I love Dr. Katherine Sanchez. She is a great, caring, and knowledgeable dentist. Her friendliness makes you feel at ease. I give Dr. Katherine Sanchez 5 stars.
However, I give the reception staff 2 stars due to the following points:
What really bothered me today was a receptionist who was rude towards my mother (who’s English is limited), the irony was that the receptionist was fluent in Spanish. It all started when my mom noticed that her doctor was not going to be Dr. Sanchez but Dr. Delgado a doctor we had never met or even knew worked there. My mother expressed her discomfort to the receptionist and she stated «Well it’s either you see him or nothing» the receptionist proceeded «so what, you want the treatment or not» at this point my mother was shocked and disappointed.
Why would you schedule someone with a different doctor and just slam them with «well either you see this doctor or nothing!»
The being slammed with a new doctor is a common practice at this location, it has happen to be once and twice to my husband. We were never notified that the doctor we would see would NOT be Dr. Sanchez.
Another thing I’m uneasy with is why is there not a set price for the services that will be paid cash? None of the receptionists where able to tell me how much it would cost for a crown without first having to check with 2 different staff members and phone call about 4 hours after requesting the quote. When other offices usually tell you on the spot.
Every time you need to schedule an appointment they tell you «let me check and I will call you back» which they do about 3 – 5 hours after the initial call. Which is very weird but I guess that is just how their system works.
Last they are NOT punctual! Our appointment was at 12 and we were called back around 12:35.
Like I said before Dr. Sanchez does a great gentle job but I think her office needs to work on it’s staff members and management.

Well I’ve had nothing but good experiences at this office. Dr. Sanchez is so sweet. My husband and son often go in together, and she remembers them and always gives me dental packs to take home to them.
Dr. Sanchez isn’t always the person that cleans my teeth, but she usually makes it a point to visit with me briefly. And always with a smile.
I’m a huge baby when it comes to the dentist and they’ve always taken care of me here. I moved further away and still drive over an hour to come here. I feel comfortable here and actually enjoy my visits.

The only reason why I am giving this place 2 stars, rather than 1, is because I’m giving Dr. Sanchez the benefit of the doubt that she may possibly be a good dentist. I however, did not get to experience that.
I called the office asking if they accepted my insurance. I spoke with a woman on the phone who was very pleasant. I explained to her that I do not like dentist (yes, I’m one of those people) but needed to go because I broke a tooth in half, leaving the remaining tooth left in my mouth sharp which was cutting my tongue (ouch, very painful). She was easy to talk to, and assured me it would all be okay. I spent quiet a while on the phone with her, going over all of my information, answering many questions (which I didn’t mind, because it would save me from a lot of paperwork). At the end of the conversation she said she would input my information, and give me a call back with the time I could come in the following day.
This call ended at around 10:30 am, and by 5 pm I still had not received a call back. I ended up calling the office back and then spoke with a gentleman (I guess he’s the insurance guy there?) who told me he had nothing noted about me needing my appointment or of my information. I mentioned to him it was a little annoying that they didn’t have anything because I spent a good amount of time on the phone giving the woman my information and was hoping for an appointment. He apologized and told me he «doesn’t know what she was doing and or why she didn’t input any information». SO, there I went again, on the phone for a good amount of time, giving him all of the information I had just given someone else earlier that day. I asked him to please email me any paperwork I can fill out ahead of time, and to let me know anything I might need to bring in order to speed up the process After speaking with him, he then confirmed an appointment with me for the following day and emailed me some medical paperwork which I filled out before my appointment.
SO — I go in at 4:30 the next day, paperwork filled out, ready to finally get this over with. Welp, I was wrong. As soon as I got into the office I was greeted by a woman who didn’t really seem like she knew what she was doing. she asked a bunch of questions (again) and then asked if I had any metal in my body at all. I told her the only thing I had was metal screws in my ankle from when i broke it about 7 to 8 years ago. She then went into the back to ask if that was okay — the first time she told them it was my hip. I corrected her and told her NO, its my ankle. She went into the back, and brought a dental assistant with her. This assistant was RUDE from the jump. She seemed as if it was a hassle for her to ask me questions. She asked where my medical clearance was. WHAT MEDICAL CLEARANCE? NO ONE told me about a medical clearance for metal in your body, this was NOT included in the paper work that was emailed to me, and the insurance guy DID NOT tell me i needed that before being seen. She then said «well, i dont know why he didnt mention it» while rolling her eyes. then said «we’ll fax over the paperwork to the guy who did your surgery but i mean, it’s like 5 pm on a friday so he probably wont answer. just so you know.» Excuse me?! That isn’t my problem! She then asked me «well are you in pain?» Uh, YES. My tongue was cut up due to the broken tooth! Her last words to me were «well, sorry. here’s some toothbrushes and toothpaste you can have since we cant see you»
Yeah, no thanks.
Ending a long story short — Dr. Sanchez would not see me all because I have a few screws in my ankle. I also found it very unprofessional that she wouldn’t even come out to apologize to me herself and instead kept asking her staff to do so. I won’t be going back here — seems very unorganized and the staff all seem to hate each other. They all talk to each other in such a rude way as well.

All these reviews for Dr Sanchez office seems to be more of a personal problem. Giving this place a 1 star over 1 little problem but then again she did a great job on your visits… Hmmm… Anyways I’m giving this place 5 stars, because I myself was a patient almost 3 years ago. Dr Sanchez did a wonderful job on my root canal and especially my crowns. She gave me a good deal & discount since I was a cash patient. Dental cost a lot, and honestly I had shopped around and she gave me the lowest price for such a great experience. I ended up moving out of town, but if I needed any major dental work, she would be worth my drive back to Tracy. Oh and she gives out really nice stuff. Tooth brushes & tooth paste, all really good brand & just the fact that she gives out «free» stuff to her clients, there’s just nothing to complain about it. Anyways, Dr Sanchez is a great dentist and like I’ve said worth my drive back to town for dental work!

After reading some negative reviews I’m left wondering if those were some unhappy ex employees trying to give Dr. Sanchez a bad rep. (?)
Always impressed with Dr. Sanchez. We have been going to Dr. Sanchez for approximately 10 years. We never had a problem with her services. She seeks to provide the highest quality of service for her patients. If that means getting rid of an employee (that doesn’t cut it) then so be it. My children, 17,6 & 4, enjoy their visits with dr. Sanchez. So that tells you… She is VERY gentle & caring. My little girls love the «puppy» themed room and the movies she puts for them while services are being completed. Today, July 1, 2014, was my 4 year olds appt. my daughter loved every minute of it. She watched Sofia the first while Dr. Sanchez cleaned her teeth. The experiences for my little girl was awesome! Also, I Indefinitely don’t pick a dentist office by the décor or the staff turn around. I pick one by how the service is provided and in this case, Dr. Sanchez is the best thus far. Btw-​she does have a beautiful dental office & she does provide her personal touch to it.
Big plus, She is generous with toothbrushes, floss & tooth paste. What she gives us typically last us until our next 6month cleaning. I’m glad she is not the typical one toothbrush and one floss dentist.

Dr. Sanchez is a great Dentist! She is very patient and pays great attention to details. She has very gentle hand skills. This is very important when you are considering a new dentist! I have been a patient of Dr. Sanchez for over 3 years. I always leave her office with a smile on my face because everyone is so nice. She always gives me plenty of toothbrushes, floss and toothpaste to last until my next visit.
Everything about this office is top of the line and up to date! I am happy to have found a great Dentist that I can trust!

The office is nice and modern with their equipment. you don’t have to get out of your dentist chair the entire visit, not even for x-​rays. The office was cluttered with too many nick knacks, made it feel kind of messy. Dr. Sanchez is
nice to her patients, but is rude to her staff. She yells at them and orders them around, and it seems they can never do anything right and calls them names. She even has talked rudely about her assistance to me, her patient. It made the visit awkward. She did one filling while I was in her care, and after 11 months it fell out. My daughter liked it because she gave them a little toy along with the tooth brush, but the toys were cheap and broke within the hour, and bummed her out. Made giving the extra gift useless and more of a disappointment then an extra little treat.
The main reason I wont go back, She is rude to her staff and the work doesn’t last.
I don’t like getting dental work done in the first place. I don’t wanna go twice for every procedure when it fails.

I agree with E.C. Things were fine with Dr. Sanchez, but the the other dentist was not good at all. He burnt my lip with the drill, too!!! If he is so sloppy, what could he be doing to my teeth while I’m numb?
I also didn’t like the way they do teeth cleaning at this dentistry. They only spend a couple of mkainutes and it doesn’t feel clean afterwards… indeed, my teeth were not much cleaner. I still had some buildup left.
I am going to request Dr. Sanchez for my next appointment, and if they give me the other guy again, I’m switching dentist office.

Wow I am surprised by the negative review! So far I am highly impressed with Dr. Sanchez and her staff. They are very nice and informative (no surprise fees and very upfront). Dr. Sanchez has a very gentle hand and is very aware of her patients needs. I am very picky when it comes to dentists and this place is CLEAN.

I really like Dr. Sanchez. My former dentist (who shall remain nameless because he’s a long-​time family friend) always hurt. A lot. I really dreaded going in for a visit. Not so with the Tracy Center for Dentistry. Dr. Sanchez and her staff are really personalble. They are also fast and fairly efficient. I appreciate the fast part. I don’t think I’ve waited more than 5 minutes. I say fairly efficient because it seems like they do some training. I don’t want to reveal how many times the technician had to take one of my x-​rays to get it right, but it was a lot. I probably should have been glowing in the dark by the time he was done. Still, they were nice about it and apologized for the inconvenience – like I would actually complain when someone’s about to use a drill… The office is easy to get to and fairly cheerful considering. I like all the soothing blue accents and and the pictures of the ocean. It doesn’t actually help me relax, but the though itself is really nice. I also appreciate the Adam Sandler movies. I’m not sure I want to laugh a lot when folks are sticking sharp instruments in my mouth, but again, it’s the thought that counts. I really appreciate their efforts to try and put me into a relaxed state. I also really appreciate the reminder calls a few days before a visit.

I have been here before and everything was great. That was until yesterday! I normally see Dr. Sanchez but was given another dentist yesterday. From the very beginning it was all bad.
First if all, the dentist called me by the wrong name, then the drill wasn’t working properly (which he knew but kept going anyway) kept getting really hot and he burned my lip. The dental assistant also did a terrible job with the vacuum thing. He either kept gagging me with it or didn’t have it on at all and drool kept dripping out of my mouth down my neck. Nothing wad said to me about my teeth and then when I went to leave, the receptionist said I was due back in two weeks for a filling. It was a surprise to me because neither the dentist nor the assistant said anything to me about a filling.
Needless to say, this was a horrible experience and I will NEVER be back!
