Richard E Wheatfill, DDS

I was referred to Dr. Wheatfill back in 2006 by a coworker and my family and I have been going to him since. He’s hands-​down the best dentist I’ve ever had (he’s good at his craft and has a great sense of humor!). Any medical, and cosmetic, dental treatments I’ve had done by Dr. Wheatfill and team were of the utmost quality and precision. Also, I genuinely look forward to my cleaning visits with Kelly. I highly recommend Dr. Wheatfill for dental care.

The hygienists and Dr. Wheatfill are wonderful, thorough and care about their patients. Kelly did a great job on my 3 year old’s first ever visit. Thank you!!!

Like a child, I put off going to dentist for far longer than I should have, and as a result I developed a very painful abscess in the lower right side. It was so painful that sleep that past couple nights has been impossible. A friend had referred me to Dr. Wheatfill several months ago, and I truly wish I had been more proactive about seeing the Doctor then. Gripped in pain, I called first thing this morning to make an emergency appointment to deal with my issue.
I have to say that I was immediately struck by how warm, empathetic and knowledgable the receptionist, Brenda, was with me on the telephone. I have always found it to be true that you can discern a lot about an organization and its leadership by your general impression of the Receptionist and other employees. Brenda made a wonderful impression on me, so I was very hopeful that I had called the right practice for me.
It was a very busy day for Dr. Wheatfill, however, Brenda found an early morning spot for me. I was immediately seen by Dr. Wheatfill just a few minutes after my arrival. I liked him immediately because I could tell that he was genuinely very concerned about my suffering, and I also had an immediate sense of comfort and confidence in his intelligence and ability.
After one quick Xray, Dr. Wheatfill carefully explained to me my predicament and what needed to be done. He didn’t pass me off to any else, but focused all of his attention on me and went to work. The procedure was completed quickly and expertly, all the while he made every effort to minimize or eliminate the pain of my swollen abscessed jaw-​line. The procedure was performed perfectly and eliminated my pain quickly.
My judgement of any medical practice is based upon the following factors:
Knowledge and Skill
Genuine concern and empathy
Office Environment and Demeanor of employees
Respect for the patients time
Reasonably priced
Dr. Wheatfill scores a perfect 5 stars in all of these categories, and in addition, he went above and beyond the call of duty to take care of someone who is not even one of his regular patients. Well, I certainly consider myself one of his patients now. I am very impressed and grateful. I have more dental work that needs to be addressed, and Dr. Wheatfill’s practice is the only dentist office I will consider.
Sincerely,

I have been going to Dr Wheatfill for over 2 years now. He and his whole staff are the absolute best! He explains everything and never tries to pressure you into any high dollar procedures. For the first time I actually look forward to going to the dentist. I can not recommend him enough!

Dr. Wheatfill is as good as it gets! It’s as simple as that. My Husband and I have been taken care of by Dr. Wheatfill for the better part of 20 years now. The veneers were perfectly made, the dental work performed has always been top notch and the attention you receive from Dr. Wheatfill and his Staff make you feel like you’re family. We both really appreciate the care and concern he gives during and after visits to make sure everything is ok. We wouldn’t go anywhere else! Thank you Dr. Wheatfill!

I went to Dr Wheatfield 25 plus years ago I live on the Central Coast now and have not been able to find a dentist I really felt comfortable with. I am traveling 300 miles just to go back to see him he put some beautiful crowns on my teeth 30 years ago that was knocked out when I was a young girl. I never have been able to find such a caring knowledgeable dentist as he is! I can’t wait to get back to see him I will follow up soon. Debbie Lindner

Dr. Wheatfill is amazing! Not only is he an extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and talented dentist, he is also a very kind individual. He truly cares about every single one of his patients and does his best to keep them all comfortable. He is very outgoing and animated. His dental work is phenomenal! Dr. Wheatfill and his wonderful staff making going to the dentist a pleasant experience.

I haven’t had a regular dentist since I left Huntington Beach and my old dentist retired so I’ve hopped around from place to place the last couple years. I didn’t really care for the last few dentists I’ve seen and saw that Dr Wheatfill was close to my house and accepted my insurance so decided to give him a try.
IMPRESSED!
Nice clean office in the Kaiser building, everyone is really nice, he brings you into his office to chat before getting to work which is nice & all high tech equipment, not old school like some other places. This is the first place I’ve been to where they take pictures of your teeth, not with a regular camera but a dental one I guess and show you the problems up close.
The sweet lady that did my cleaning spent a whole hour cleaning my teeth. She did such a great job. Some people in the past spend a couple minutes picking, polish and you’re out the door but not her, she was sooo good, my teeth feel and look amazing.
I have Aetna insurance so I’m not sure about their pricing yet.
I’m happy to have found a new dentist close to home! :)

Dr. Wheatfill and his staff are the BEST! I’ve been a patient of Dr. Wheatfill’s for over seven years and have always been impressed with everyone there. They are ALL so friendly and really care about their patients. Dentistry has come a long way, or maybe it’s just Dr. Wheatfill’s expertise, but I’ve never experienced any pain during any procedures (which have included many crowns). I highly recommend this office to anyone and everyone!

This is the most attentive dentist I have ever been to! No pain, tells it like it is. He even calls you the next day to make sure everything went well.
Older fellow — but really knows his stuff! modern facility. Highly reccomended — and I am not a fan of dentists.
