I have severe anxiety when it comes to the dentist. I visited the office for routine, x-ray and fitting for a partial, I had a panic attack right in the office. I requested the dr prescribe me something for the next visit. The dentist agreed, I had to have a tooth extracted, it was no issue. I called because weeks after I was still in pain. Called took someone almost 2 days to call me back. I requested for my next visit something be prescribed to me. The receptionist was questioning me, like do you need that? I can call the doctor but they might not get back to me in time. Questioning someone with severe anxiety gives them more anxiety. Maybe if there had been notes in my file that said this, but no. This office says it cares and strives to make their patients feel comfortable, this is not the case. I cancelled my appointment because this office gave me more anxiety about going to a dentist. It was extremely upsetting. I did not feel comfortable coming back in.

Latest visit was a follow up for Orthodontic treatments. I had invisalign since Feb 2021 which was handled by Dr. P. She is an amazing practitioner who wants the best results. Her personality and friendly personality makes her unique. You don't find providers that displays both, however she is the full package. I have entrusted her with my entire family dental care. This practice has become more like family. Best customer service and patuent satisfaction practice I've come across. Kudos Dr. P & associates.

Dr Penafiel and her staff are the best I’ve been to and at 60 years old, I’ve seen a lot. I’ve been with her for about 10 years and I’d recommend her to anyone. A +

I've been going to this dental office for 30+ years and Dr. Penafiel has treated me several times when Dr. Mann was not available. Dr. Mann retired two years ago and now Dr. Penafiel is my dentist. She is very thorough; explains everything to you; is very gentle and is a very good dentist. I would highly recommend her to family and friends.
