I went in for a check up. The dentist is very nice and communication is great. The lady in the front office was not just nice and comprehensive but also very, very pretty. She has a tattoo on her left arm and I tried to see what it says but could not get a good look lol. Anywhoots, she is very nice and very pretty. She is a keeper Mr. Dentist because someone with that combination is very rare these days. I highly recommend this dentist ppl and not just because he is good at his work but also because of the lady in the front office :

Terrible experience during wisdom teeth extractions. My jaw hasn't been the same since, over 10 years and I still suffer from TMJ and jaw tension I did not need my wisdom teeth taken out nor did I want them but Mr. Acura pressured me stating my insurance (medi-cal) was going to be running out as I was aging out of it at the time being a young impressionable TEENAGER making my own medical decisions.

I've been coming here for over a year. I was recommended by my husband's aunt & since then my sister has also made this her dentist along with my sister in law, my husband & my two children. Dr Jaime is very caring, always makes sure I am comfortable & explains everything he is doing throughout the visit. Definitely recommend!

I called and asked if they can provide me an estimated price for braces with and without insurance. The clerk in the picture told me I needed to go in person in order for me to get any pricing. The clerk told me I needed to make an appointment or do a walk in before 4 pm and they will be able to help me. -Once I get there a different clerk help me and told me they were only taking EMERGENCY Patience after I had mention to the clerk in the picture I WAS ON MY WAY as a walk in. -The other clerk also mention the question regarding my braces could of been answered through the phone! -Both of the clerk started arguing back and forth with each other on what they could and couldn't do. This service is NOT worth your time and money please find another dentist that are interested in helping their people.

It is a shame the service that this Dentistry place provides. Very bad customer service, even the "janitor" has access to the patient appointments when someone calls to the office phone. They only starts taking Rx before asking to the patient in order to get the full scope of the situation. Definitively this doctor and his associates main focus is the insurance money and not the most important objective. Heal the patients.

New patients we just moved here. First time we showed up for our appointment they told us our appointment was last month. I asked why no on bothered to call us? I am pretty good about writing things down and on 2 calendars had the appointment for the time we showed up. Not sure what happened. Whatever. We filled out all the new patient forms and scheduled another appointment. Showed up today for the second appointment and waited over an hour before I took my kids and walked out.

Our first appointments was at 3:30 and second one at 4:00. At 4:15 I Asked receptionist how long it was-going to be and she said because we are new patients it takes a while setting things up. I have 2 kids and was told once we go back to expect it to take a little over an hour to do the xray and cleaning. Nope! Never have I been to a dentist that makes kids wait over an hour to be seen. The other dentist had 3 or 4 patients go in while we sat there waiting!

This place is absolutely HORRIBLE. The dentist Jaime is the worst dentist I have ever met. He has absolutely no heart. I went in 3 years ago for a root canal on my front tooth. When they were filing it down to put a crown on top he asked if I wanted to see my tooth. I said NO because I knew I'd break down crying seeing it shaven down. He then grabs a mirror and shows me after I had said no!

I started crying and all he says "should've taken better care of your teeth" and walked away. Fast forward to now, I have to go back because the root canal tooth is killing me and I called they said "be here in 15min". I get there at 3:30, and then it's 5:15 still haven't been seen. I asked the front what's going on, turns out they put my chart in the "already seen" pile. (They didn't tell me that, I saw as they were frantically searching for it).

They then explain to Jaime what happened. He asked "is she appointment?" They say "no, it's walk in" he then says "well she doesn't seem she's in much pain, I'll see if I have time to see her". I'm in the waiting room with a swollen cheek crying of pain. This "man" is the awful. Unless you know him personally, he doesn't care about you. JAIME THIS IS NALLELY LOPEZ. IF YOURE READING THIS- SHAME ON YOU! AND YOUR STAFF! Idk how you have your own practice, you're a horrible human being and should not be allowed to treat people!

Horrible job. My dad went here for a deep cleaning and they only took 15 min on it and got a professional opinion on it who said he did a terrible job. Never going back.

We found this office close to home. It intimate, pleasant and the staff is great! Dr. Jaime Acuna was amazing! I highly recommend-this office to anyone tired of going to big offices like western dental where your just another number and where they have students tearing up your mouth!

I am not going to give this dentist office any stars! But to my surprise I have to at least give them 1 star. The woman at the front desk are idiots. They are not helpful. We came in for a monthly check up in February and the dentist said that we have small cavities that need to be fixed. So they need to call our insurance for authorization. This was said to take 2 to 4 weeks.

We would call once a week to see if they got the authorization for a simple composite coming which I have never had to pay for with my insurance company. We call today again and they tell us we have not recorded anything back from your insurance company. No me being pisses off for being jerked for way too long calls my insurance company for me to hear from them that they denied the dentist for charging any fee.

They told us to have them call them for authorization if they are any concerns. So we can go tell them this and they said we'll see will give them a call when we get a chance. They are not busy no one is in their office. Give me a break. So I just decide to go in this morning to find that they called our insurance company and they faced over our payments for all procedures.

And what no ghost to me. Duh being saying this since February. Now I have to wait til April just to get the fan coming fixed another damn month. So I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DENTIST OFFICE TO ANYONE. IF YOU WANT YOUR TEETH FALLING OUT PLEASE BY ALL MEANS COME HERE! THEY WILL DO A GREAT JOB AT THAT! BUSY MY BUTT. GIVE ME A BREAK.

Be aware of this office, they tried to over charge us by a big difference of what my copayments were. I called my insurance they talked to them and resend them the correct list of copayments, and when I called them to checked the updated bill, they refused to give us services. They told me that we needed to go to another specialist because their dentist couldn't do the work. Is it because they were not going to be able to over charge me?

Update: My tooth still hurts and I hope the workers of this office read this yelp. Also filed a report with the dental board, which you can do online. Lastly when I called Denti-Cal to find a new dentist they explained the treatment that was going to be given is not covered under that insurance but in the office the told, and showed me a printed copy, that is was going to be covered. I now wonder how many fraudulent insurance claims this office has made. Absolutely no integrity.

Dr. Acuna and his staff get zero stars from me. They are ALL very unprofessional. I was referred to his office by another dentist for a root canal and they tried to manipulate me into leaving my long time office for theirs. They also tried to do more treatment on me than I was referred for. I would NEVER recommend him.

I haven't had a good dental experience in a long time. I haven't had dental work in a while either. Sadly, I fall into the criteria of a super nervous dental patient. But my wisdom teeth needed to go, so with my Captain EO's Hooter plush in hand, I went to Dental Arts for the first time. The staff was super nice. They treat you kindly, they understand the nerves and anxiety of having dental work done.

Not only are they understansing but they are very thorough with explaining treatment plans, costs and what the patient can handle for the day. I had Dr. Acuna and he was obviously very confident in his work and it definitely reflects well. He was not only very kind but he made sure I understood everything going on with my oral health and stated any concerns he had.

It was too late to have sedation. That made me a little nervous but the dr. was sure I could handle it. He was right. I had an appointment at 8am, started treating by 9am, out by 10:15. I had my top wisdom teeth extracted and a cleaning as well and the procedure went smoothly. Barely any pain. Definitely getting the rest of my dental work done here. Plus, my hubby and kiddo are getting seen here. Overall I'm a happy camper. This place eased my anxiety about going to the dentist.

I have only had one other dentist my entire life and they were good at what they did I felt like I needed more. The staff is seriously amazing! They answer all your questions and are very personable unlike other offices. Dr. Acuna himself is very nice and gives you a list of what he says you could do and different options of how to do it he never pushes you to do anything is very understanding and informs you to take it step by step to see make sure insurance covers before doing anything. Definitely glad he is my dentist now!

First time client that will NEVER return. Received bill after being given the impression that they had checked to make sure my insurance would cover.

Overall five star treatment in all categories. Doctors, staff and office facilities are way beyond average. Office also provides iv sedation if you are a bit chicken. Go here if you need an awesome dentist, dr coletti and duarte will absolutely treat you right, they run one of the true crown jewel offices, and you wont get referred all over town unlike most offices. Go here.

Ive been going to Dental Arts for years now and I absolutely love the way they treat me as a patient. I have recommended a number of my friends and they all thank me for refering them to Dr. Acuna. Forget about other unprofessional dental offices, the staff here are always friendly and try to help you in anyway they can. The nurses are friendly and make you feel comfortable. Dr. Acuna even gave me his personal cell phone after having my wisdom teeth pulled out because i was so worried.

He assured me that everything would be okay but told me to call him if anything were to happen. This is just an example of a doctor who really cares of the well being of his patients. I cant imagine anyone having a bad experience here. I couldnt be happier with Dental Arts of Palm Avenue.

This is truly the crown jewel dental office ive ever encountered. I give these dentists 5 stars straight across the board on every aspect of their office. the only exception is that I had to wait only about 10 minutes because the doctor was in super demand. he is an absolutely fantastic, genuine, trustworthy, and good warm hearted dentist-all of my 6 co workers go to dr coletti and they all feel exactly the same way. Dr. Coletti is a young professor and it shows.

He put one of my co workers to sleep for his dental care and he was 100% grateful and satisfied. all the costs were discussed with me up front prior to treatment and there were no surprises. there office is on my insurance panel as providers. I highly recommend that you call this office without hesitation if you need a good dentist.
