Santa Maria Gary P DDS

"Cancelled last minute…so he could get haircut Been taking two kids (now teenagers) there for their whole lives. Their cancellations (by THEM) have been higher than usual. And rescheduling is 3 months out. They have recommended unnecessary procedures: when primary dentist dr. Santamaria was not available to check my then 9 year old, dr. Schneider checked him and recommended and scheduled (with his mother) filling in a baby tooth. Previous appointment had determined minor cavity in baby tooth was not in need of care. Only at my insistence was filling cancelled and Dr. Santamaria looked at it and agreed no filling recommended. (Was revenue grab by Dr. Schneider?). Tooth fell out a few months later. 
Today, they called hour before appointment to cancel saying dentist unexpectedly had to leave early. Offered January 20th (it is Sept 29th) as next available for 6-month checkup on 13 year-old. After I said I could come tomorrow and that they could have dentist call if that would not work. Dentist called —said he had to get haircut today and would not take my son tomorrow (so only option was January 20 for reschedule caused by his office and his haircut).. If we did not like it, find another practice. So unprofessional."

"I’ve been going here since I was a kid, I’m now 27 and I’ll never go anywhere else. Dr. Santa Maria is kind, compassionate, empathetic and wise! He really goes the extra mile. His staff genuinely compliment the practice. Especially Kelsey & Candy whom always greet me almost like family. Like I said, I’ll never go anywhere else."

"We brought our 6 and 5 yr old boys to the dentist for the 1st time. My husband and I were very nervous as to how the boys would be at the dentist. I can confidently say that Dr. Santa Maria and his staff are the best. We were warmly welcomed and, thanks to how kid friendly they are, the boys were amazing during their cleanings. We are hooked, definately staying with Dr. Santa Maria!"

"A W E S O M E!!! I would highly recommend Dr Santa Maria (and his wonderful staff!)! Also, you will never fear a dentist again in his hands! You will receive A+, painless treatment and will be absolutely thrilled with the results - Dr Santa Maria does not disappoint! To top it off, that personal phone call you'll get the evening of your visit just puts the exclamation on as to how much this doc cares about his patients! My dentist for life!!!"

"I have hated dentists and the whole experience all my life, until I started going to Dr. Santa Maria. He really took the time to understand my dental anxiety, reassure me, and make me feel comfortable. I've had my very first crown with him with no pain and no issues. Fabulous! I no longer dread going to the dentist :)"
