Dr. De La Paz was absolutely wonderful. I was anxious and very upset about the cost of the work to be done and embarrassed that I let my teeth go so long without dental care. She was sensitive and I came to believe that she was just the right person for my needs. Everyone was wonderful to me and I truly appreciate their sensitivity and profressionalsm. Already refered to a friend in need of dental work because of my experience.

As I mentioned the dentist that saw me was not friendly or personable. She could've taken more time, care, consideration and been much gentler. I left the office not feeling confident at all in what she told me and would consider going to another dentist office to get a second opinion. I have recommended your office to others in the past, but I have shared with everyone in my office how dissatisfied I was with this past experience. I did not even have my teeth cleaned as I just wanted to leave the office.

I love dentist. She's the best. She's so nice and makes sure I'm comfortable and if at any point I feel uncomfortable she makes sure to stop and wait till I'm ready. Everyone that i talked to during my visit was really nice. The only peson who wasn't as nice as everyone else was the dental assistant who did my cleaning. She wasn't friendly and she was really rough. but she was the only one, so that's why I would still give you guys 5 out of 5.

Everything was great. The only comment is that my examination room had a pile of boxes in the corner that didn't look too great, but that has nothing to do with my cleaning. You all did a great job!

I respect your professional diagnosis of my dental needs, however due to the fact of my age (81)and no current pain or discomfort and my financial status, I am going to turn down your restoration suggestions at this time. If in the future I have any problem, I will contact your practice. In the meantime I would like to continue with my original purpose coming there for dental cleaning.

My biggest concern is cost. Despite having dental insurance and despite that insurance supposedly covering such things as cleaning, my dental costs each year keep going up and up. Financially, my wife and I can only afford so much budgeted to dental. I have no problem with the majority of the people we interact with, they are friendly, knowledgeable and caring. The hygenist was great.

I am in the area as a temporary resident and needed help with an emergency situation as I have a primary dentist at home and do not wish to establish primary service here. Although I was given an opinion (surgery), which is probably the best option to permanently deal with the issue, after talking with my own dentist at home, decided to go with a less radical option for the moment (antibiotics). Dr Tuttle and the rest of the staff could not have been nicer and more helpful and I will definitely come back if I need dental services while wintering in the are.

Overall it was a great experience. The xray tech was especially wonderful, and Dr. Cheung did an exceptional job with my crown. I did refer this office to many of my friends and co-workers, however, all of them cringed with the same apprehension that I did regarding the pricing. The cost was more than double the price of my dentist back home, as well as, some of my friend's dentists. I would still return to this office while in the area, however, I will be waiting until I can see my own dentist to complete some of the other dental work that I currently need.

The dental technician, the office staff were wonderful. Dr. Tuttle was very gracious, very understanding of my dental problems. Being that Dr. Tuttle is also an MD and a DDS is really great in that she understands about my general health and is a wonderful dentist. She was very easy to talk to, she really listens and truly cares about my health since I do have diabetes type 2 and how it affects my teeth. I am very comfortable and not nervous at all about my upcoming treatment.

I have been going to your office for YEARS, you've always been highly regarding amoungst those I know through church & community. However, I have had a rough couple of years: lost my mom & job, house in foreclosure etc... I've had 2 more children(youve treated 2 of the 5) & have been recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes---so oral care is essentail to my blood sugar control, and heart disease prevention: so you're hygenist will see more me often now that my life depends on it. In fact ALL dental work I have ever had done has been in your office. But yesterday was BY FAR my BEST experience from start to finish! Alanna greeted me by name right away. I didnt wait; paperwork was done via computer--so muych better than taking 20 minutes to scribble a stack of papers & the office HAS BEEN BEAUTIFULLY REDONE! As a patient, I was heard. Your finance girl (forgot her name--but she pregnant)was WONDERFUL in explaining my options & really working with me. Can I just say: I Love Dr Ch

I have a phobia about dentists in general and due to pain, I had to come to this office and was very pleasantly pleased with the professionalism and kindness extended to me, while I was on the verge of tears from fear! The entire staff made me feel comfortable and at ease and for that I appreciate each one of them. Will definitely reccommend this office to everyone.

Everything about my visit was great EXCEPT the time management of the office. I arrived at 3:15 and did not leave until closing time, at 6. I was not taken back to the dental chair until 25 minutes after arriving. There was also another delay between having my impressions taken and the doctor arriving. Had the care not been so excellent, I would have been upset. Once the timing kinks are worked out, I would definitely recommend the office.

My insurance with the County is poor so I have to go slow with my treatment plan. Dental work is expensive when you have to pay for it on your own. Dr Tittle is the very best. She cares about the people that come to the Dental office for treatment.

I loved that Dr. Chueng was very friendly and made me feel comfortable and confident in his care. He made me feel relaxed and made sure that I understood my dental needs. I like the idea that Elena came in and gave me my payment options and there was no pressure involved. The entire staff was friendly and at least smiled if they were in my view but didn't have direct contact with them. Thank you Desert Crossing Dental group!

there was a problem with the computer which delayed taking my x-rays that was a little annoying. also there was a problem with my Rx but I think that was more the pharmacy than your office. next time I would like to get a paper copy of the Rx so if the pharm. says they didn't get it I have something to give them. i loved the tulips!!
