We actually didn't end up going in for the appointment since it was an emergency and the place they referred us to took us same day. But I can't say enough about how friendly and helpful the staff were both times I called. They answered all my questions thoroughly and referred us to a dentist we could get in with sooner. Great customer service!

I went today to the dental office for my son six month check up and the front desk girls were very nice and welcoming they answer all my questions they were very thorough with my insurance which I like. I didn't wait a lot in the lobby so I was called in quickly. The exam was done with current X-rays which doctor did look at them but didn't show me which was kind of made me upset. But the Rda ( registered dental assistant ) went over with me and totally saw the treatment he needs .Thats the reason I gave four stars. I have an appoiment tomorrow for treatment hope I have found my new dentist in the imperial valley.

I needed to take my 8 y.o. in as a new patient for a toothache that started last night. I was able to get an appointment that morning with no problem. My son was terrified of what they were going to do but the girls and the dentist were so good with him. They took the time to calm him down and explain what they were going to do before they started working on his tooth. He left a happy kid and I left a happy mom.

As a patient who is not fond of the dentist, the entire staff made me feel welcome and at ease. The attention to detail and explanations on procedures and coverages was exemplary. I will be recommending everyone who needs dental work to go to Desert Family Dentistry.
