Dr A is the best in the business. He always makes sure his customers know what’s going to happen before it happens and consistently makes sure the pt is comfortable. On a personal experience he always makes sure my family is doing well, even though my wife hasn’t switched, yet.

Also, when I got my last 2 crowns he addresses my concerns prior very well, and will even call evenings and weekends to make sure you are still doing good.

Best dental experience ever! I switched to Dr Apodaca this past year, two visits in and it's been fantastic both times! Nice office space. Friendly staff. Amanda, the hygienist, was great. On the first visit she explained everything to me and ensured understanding. I like that she took before and after pictures so I could see what she did. Dr. Apodaca was straightforward.

I like their philosophy of prevention and no pressure for unnecessary treatment. I had my 2nd cleaning yesterday at 7 am. Being that early, I was still groggy and not fully awake. After the cleaning Amanda brought me some coffee, which I really needed that morning! Top notch service and patient care. I look forward to future visits.

What can I say about Dr Apodaca, he is such a caring man and I am so thankful that I found him! I have had the same dentist for over 20 years and after that dentist failed me I was introduced to Dr Apodaca and he has been nothing short of AMAZING! I have never met a dentist that has been so concerned with my needs and he truly cares about his patients! He knows what I have been through and checks ups on me after appointments to make sure that I am ok.

He is a treasure and I am so thankful that Old School values still exist! He is a gem and I will never be able to thank him enough He takes the time to answer any questions you may have and is so knowledgeable.

He is one of the good ones! His ENTIRE staff is amazing also! They are a great TEAM! They are truly great and treat you like family from the moment you walk in the door! They treat you like you would want to be treated! Amanda is an amazing heigenist she really cares about her patients and has so much experience with knowing how to make you feel confident that she will do the job right !

Dr A and the team are awesome! They’re kind, courteous and professional. They look out for your interests before their own. They make going to the dentist enjoyable. Would, and have, recommended them to anyone looking for a good, honest dentist.
