Leida P Stine, DDS

Been coming here for quite some time with my whole family. Dr. Stine always works fast and efficiently and lets me know when I should stop drinking tea/​coffee haha. Last visit was yesterday at 1:15 and my appointment was at 1:30. It wasn’t busy and they took me in right away and I left at 1:40. I always enjoy what color toothbrush I get in my take away bag for my visit.

After having a run of bad luck in the dentist world I’ve finally found my next dentist! A friend referred me and I couldn’t be happier.
The front office-​I believe Kathy is so friendly and nice! Dr Stine was very thorough and gentle when cleaning my teeth. She’s personable too! Very clean office. Looking forward to my next cleaning!

I recently had the pleasure of working with this practice on a project and the experience was great! If they treat their vendors as great as they treat their patients, it is no doubt one of the many reasons their patients love them! What a great team!

5 Star. Love Dr. Stine. She makes you feel so comfortable. Professional, Intelligent, Personable, Caring, Supportive… Her practice has state of the art equipment, in a serene, clean environment. What more do you want from a Dentist? I refer all my friends and family to her practice.

When I was growing up dental health is not important to us. When I move to California, I went to Dr. Stine through a referral. She is very accommodating and her staff is very helpful. I had a lot of issues and it took some time to get all my dental problems fixed. Now, I can smile and do not have any more pain. I appreciate Dr. Stine’s office for the good work they have done to me.

I’ve been coming to Dr. Stine for about 5 years since I moved to the Dublin area. She’s so sweet, caring, gentle, and personable. Her assisting staff rotates quite frequently, and I hardly get to see the same faces each time I visit, but her front office staff has also stayed with her for some time now. Kathi and Luz are amazing with remembering my preferences for appointment reminders, and seem to get used to me cancelling my appointments last minute because I travel for a living, so now they call a little earlier to confirm my appointments.
THANK YOU Dr. Stine & Team! :D

After moving from Colorado, Dr. Stein’s office was our first stop in search of a new dentist.
What a lesson learned…
1– Nothing but interns, this made for an overly long visit without a whole lot of actual attention and some very uncomfortable X-​rays.
2– After taking X-​rays I was told «had to be taken» and «are covered by your insurance» they attempted to charge my husband when he came in for a cleaning. Thankfully he called me prior to making any kind of payment and with some muscle and complaints this was eventually sorted out.
3– A very rushed Dr. Stein appeared for a few fleeting minutes of my visit only to tell me I had significant dental work to be done (my previous dentist whom I had seen not long prior never noted this, nor did my next dentist).
4– My husband went in for a routine cleaning and was over sold on a deep cleaning he didn’t need. So much for trustworthy doctors.
5– This office has even tacked on his debt to my credit report — big no no.
Over all, after being seen by another dentist and speaking about my experience with Stein, this is a common complaint — they’ll charge you for whatever they can «justify» the moment you’re in that chair.
Money hungry and no genuine care for their patients.

I have been going to Dr Stine for the past five years and what an awesome dentist. She’s very knowledgable, thorough, kind, etc. and her office manager Kathy is great, so helpful! Try Dr. Stine, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Been to Dr. Stine’s Office 3 times in the past month. The office is very clean, nicely decorated, parking was never a problem, and she has a good support staff.
What really prompted this review was the fact that Dr. Stine fixed a troublesome cracked front tooth so quickly, without compromising quality. She has very gentle hands, and my tooth looked beautiful. Her assistant Francisco is super nice, and is great with kids. He worked fast and made sure my child was comfortable while cleaning her teeth.
Keep up the good work !

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE service at this dentist office, specifically Kathy. My mother needed emergency attention and Kathy was not only unwilling to help, but hung up on me when I asked for an explanation. She had the audacity to hang up on me a second time when I called back to speak to her manager. Extremely unprofessional, extremely rude, and shows poor character. If Kathy is the face of this practice, she gives them a BAD name. I would give ZERO stars if I could.

I was with the same dentist for 25 years, and had to switch. I chose Dr. Stine and had my first visit with them today. It was an awesome visit. The staff is really friendly, they know what they are talking about as well as what they are doing. They saw me in a timely fashion. Got the work done for me done fast and effective. There technology looks like top line. When they were doing something they explained what they were doing. They answered my questions when I asked why, with no hesitation either. I will be bringing my kids here in about a month when there insurance goes through :) i recommend them.

I have not been handling reviews lately as I am too busy but I will eventually get back around to it. In the meanwhile I could not let this horrible dentist office slide.
So here is what to expect from this dentist office in 4 easy facts.
#1 They will attempt to steal from you, expect them to tell you that you owe xyz money even if you have 100% coverage. I had to come back and collect my money back from them after the fact.
#2 They charge 2−3x what most dental insurance companies will cover as they are obviously only interested in the money.
#3 They do shoddy work and do not stand by it, if you have a crown, cap or cracked tooth that they poorly handle they will act like it is not their fault that they are incompetent and demand a kings ransom to fix the problem they caused.
#4 They are only open a few days a week for a few hours, this is your biggest indicator that they have ZERO work ethic and are stealing every cent from people they can while open.
(BONUS FACT 5! The reviews on this Unilocal are primarily fictional and made by the staff or owner)
So if your wondering who to trust and if you should be going in to this office just look at the reviews, think real hard and go somewhere else. I believe a kind hobo could probably perform better services for a better rate so I really mean ANYWHERE else.

What an amazing group of people! The staff are so friendly and accommodating. Cathy was so helpful with figuring out the details of the work I would need done. Dr. Stine was also so kind! I felt comfortable, and knew that my teeth would get the best treatment. Even the atmosphere of the office is welcoming. I highly recommend this dental office!

My family has been going to Dr. Stine for 11 years and evey experience has been fantastic. She’s the only dentist I know and her and her staff are just amazing!

I can’t begin to tell you how deeply I appreciate Dr. Stine and her staff.
Warning! Story time!
I had to get a root canal in October 2013. I went through the procedure with an endodontist that Dr. Stine recommended — he was fantastic. Then had to go to a periodontist to get crown lengthening.
After all that was done, I was back in Dr. Stine’s office to complete my crown. She noticed damage on the adjacent tooth of the root canal tooth and submitted an inquiry to my insurance company about who would be responsible as it was, clearly, damage. When the insurance company refused to assist, Dr. Stine and her staff member, Cathy, were on my side the whole way. They walked me through my options: paying to just get it fixed or taking it to CDA. I opted for getting a peer review at CDA. Keep in mind, I had the root canal procedure done over a year ago.
I’m expecting the results of the peer review (to determine who is responsible for damages and costs) this month. This whole year, Dr. Stine and Cathy have helped me get through this peer review and put back my temporary crown at least 3 times (it’s temporary after all… it’s not going to stay in for a whole year) at the drop of a hat. I’ve done cleanings, fillings, deep cleanings, you name it with Dr. Stine and have always had a great experience — bad news or not.
I cannot recommend and thank Dr. Stine and her staff enough.

Flexible with our family’s busy schedules. Friendly and respectful. So lucky they take our insurance. Have been going here for 7 years.Dr. Leida Stine is awesome. Great” chair side manner”! Also attentive, professional, and does great work. Highly recommended.

I have gone to this outfit for last eight months or so. I have been going to dentists for more than 40 years. This has been easily my worst experience.
Their primary motivation seems to be to make money out of the patients. Nor do they stand behind their work. Overall, very unprofessional. Beware.

Dr. Stine and her staff are the finest dental group I’ve ever been to. From the welcoming receptionist, clean & relaxing clinic, gentle touch of Dr. Stine & her assistants, the education they provide to patients & their efforts to ensure that we’ll receive the best dental care. Here you will see that they practice their professions because they really care not because of other reasons. Thank You Dr. Stine and staff! I will definitely come back & recommend this. It’s worth the long drive from Sacramento to Dublin!

I and my family of 5 have been patents of Dr Leida Stine for years, she has always been punctual and honest. She has also been amazing with all of my children starting when they first got teeth! I have never had a better dentist.

When I first called to request how much a teeth cleaning visit would cost without insurance, I was told they could not provide that information. Every other dentist provided a basic cost. Lame.
Once I had insurance I made the mistake of making an appointment with Dr Stine. My appt. was scheduled for 9am, that is when they open, and I was asked to come in early to fill out the paperwork. I sat there until 9:45 am and no one showed up, not the receptionist, not the doctor. The only guy there said he was there to fix the computers and stated they were late. 45 minutes is more than late.
I left them a voicemail letting them know I would be seeking a new dentist. I provided them with my phone number in case they wanted to apologize for the mistake… no one bothered to call.
I have seen Dr. Stine before and everyone in the office speaks a different language other than English. It’s rather unprofessional. This is America and you should be able to see a dentist who is at least willing to speak English in your presence.
My husband has been going to her for some time and he doesn’t have complaints… but he will be seeing a new doctor now. She lost two patients this week! Nice job Dr Stine, way to stay in business.
