"I had my teeth cleaned today and the girl was nice and did a good job. She was as finished before I realized it. Next month I will get three fillings. Thanks Turlock Smiles. Sincerely. Irene"

"I know I wont be going back to Turlock Smiles, I got a crown for 1,600. wasnt told of a cheaper one, this one has a 5 yr warranty. went back ,X-rays , they wont clean my teeth unless I pay the almost 900. for deep cleaning , I dont agree asked for regular cleaning said NO. and if I dont do as they want my warranty isnt good on crown. well I cant afford all they think I need done. so they can stick the work , I will find another dentist . Out for the best price they can get , some people dont have that kind of money , even with my insurance . well my insurance got me back 776.00 they will send a check to me, and Turlock Smiles will pay them back. they lied how much it cost, and I even asked. I dont recommend this place"

"I had a much better experience here compared to my previous provider, Western Dental. The staff here are friendly and quick considering the large workload. When I go to the dentist I know I'm bringing a literal mouthful of problems and they always make sure my comfortability comes first. It's interesting reading some of these reviews as it shocks me that people don't understand why and what different people have different jobs in an office. I am grateful for the quality, kindness and genuine care provided by Dr. Taba and the dental techs"

"I went to Turlock Smiles for an exam and regular cleaning on 08/11/2023. While speaking with the dental hygienist, she asked what my income was. Not sure why the hygienist would ask this. That was the first red flag. She also informed me I need a deep cleaning but that she didn't have time for a cleaning. I never received a cleaning and was informed they refuse to do a standard cleaning even in the future. The dentist asked me many times if I had any sensitivity, as if the first no was the incorrect answer. When speaking to the person going over the treatment plan and patient responsibility numbers I noticed billing codes were incorrect and the patient responsibility amounts were incorrect. I just walked out at that point. I got a second opinion today and a regular cleaning at a different facility. I was informed I did not need any of the treatment that Turlock Smiles was recommending at all. Turlock smiles was trying to tell me that I need a crown replaced, and not one my insurance covers but one that they make in house ($1375). Today I was informed that removing the crown would open a can of worms from the new facility. I was told at Turlock Smiles I need 3 fillings(incorrect), an inlay (incorrect), wisdom teeth removal (incorrect), cosmetic repair for erosion (incorrect), and a deep cleaning (incorrect). They even said the fillings I supposedly need would cost $171 each. My patient charge under my insurance states $35-45 depending on the tooth. The lady got extremely rude when I mentioned the numbers were wrong. If I did not trust my instinct and pick up on the red flags I could have been scammed out of $5,925 as well as going through unnecessary dental work. Worse than western dental."

"Had a very good experience with Dr. Taba and his staff. Everyone was helpful and explained the treatment I need very well. Vanessa went over my fees with my insurance and helped me schedule all my appointments. I’m very grateful for this staff! Definitely will continue with my routine visits!"
