Nora Caballero, DDS

I was unaware that my mother had been going to this dentist and getting ripped off for years!!! It only became apparent when she needed me to take her for her appointment due to her lower partial breaking that I was able to reveal the truth… to make a long story short my mom who has insurance still paid out of pocket over $ 10,ooo.oo for a lower partial that took weeks to get repaired to only break again after 6 months of pain, and irritation. I took her to a dentist close by to my home who accepted her insurance plan since mine does not who was able to rectify the problem with x rays revealing 4 half assed root canals, which two were abscessed, which lead to 4 tooth extracts and make a whole new partial for $ 1000!!! I was impressed as the dentist walked me through step by step as I watched her do her magic. In less than 3 days my mom was back to having teeth, a great smile and no pain!!!

THIS DENTIST WENT IN THIS FIELD FOR THE MONEY ONLY… YOU WILL ONLY BE A NUMBER AND $ SIGN. I have been in dental field for 14 years i have never seen a dentist and staff go in for the kill to get every penny THEY can from you. My son, husband and myself were just trying to get regular cleanings and they wanted to charge $ 50 per 4 quads in our mouth for a rinse to prevent infection and i told them we have had cleanjngs on time for years and have never been told we needed that or a «deep cleaning» .the treatment coordinator was in my room with the form for me to sign in the middle of my cleaning. i told her no i will not pay that… SO UNPROFFESIONAL! .they ended up charging my husband an arm and leg for a cleaning. but i would not let them do that to myself or son. She then said my son had to have jaw surgery before getting anything else done… my son is 17 years old! & has a little tmj… they gave us a treatment plan for all of that we would of had to take a line of credit on our house to pay for what they wanted done ! Just saw our new dentist and hygienist (1 year later) we walked in and out with regular exam and cleanings… no harrasment at all.

Awesome place! Clean, friendly, and Dr. Caballero knows her stuff!

so i just waited about a month to change from my old dentist to nora caballero, because my insurance take time to change over and i didn’t like my old dentist. i first explain that i need fillings in when i first arrive, the receptionist says well we only have a dentist that comes in once every three months to do fillings, and the next time he would be there is in september, which blew my mind … what kind of dentist is this ??? so if you need a filling don’t go here. Maybe there good at cleaning teeth but how do you even call yourself a dentist if you can’t do fillings horrible experience.

BEWARE — DON’T GO TO THIS DENTIST — DR. CABALLERO IS ALL ABOUT HAVING YOU PAY MORE MONEY OUT OF YOUR POCKET AND YOUR INSURANCE FOR SERVICES THAT ARE NOT NEEDED.
I picked Dr. Caballero because she was listed as one of the provider for my dental insurance. All I wanted to do was to get the yearly general teeth cleaning. However, Dr. Caballero’s office has a rule that every new patient must first have a consultation and a series of x-​rays be taken prior to them cleaning your teeth. Anyway, my appt. with her was July 25, 2013. I was in her office for 4 hours (waiting in the lobby, then x-​rays, then the consultation with Dr. Caballero). After my consultation with Dr. Caballero, she told me that her receptionist would be in touch with me because they need to call my insurance company to see what is covered or not. At the time, I thought I would get a call back, the latest, within a week. After 2 weeks, since I didn’t receive a phone call back from her office, I called instead. When I called, I spoke to the receptionist who informed me that my file was in the doctor’s office and she’ll have to call me back. Another week went by after a promise to call me back, so I called again. This time I asked the receptionist if this is normal practice for Dr. Caballero’s office, that they do not return phone calls after consulting with Dr. Caballero. Receptionist said, oh I was just about to call you right now. You know that’s a lie! Anyway I told her that I really need to come in to get my teeth cleaned so when can I come in? She said, she spoke to our insurance company and that in order for them to clean my teeth, there are certain things that need to be done first to my teeth and that’s going to cost me out of pocket of over $ 400.00. I was shocked to hear this from her and was just too upset so I told her that was ridiculous and just hung up. I feel that Dr. Caballero’s office is very unprofessional and definitely a dental office just looking to take your money and/​or charge your insurance company for unnecessary services. Once again, I am warning you… DON’T GO TO THIS PLACE! The worse experience I have ever had! I will also put a complaint against her with the Better Business Bureau and my dental insurance!!!

THIS PLACE IS A RIP-​OFF!!! I went in expecting to have x-​rays, «complete» oral examination, and a cleaning. The only thing that I received were the x-​rays and a «partial» exam. I was told that I would need to have a «deep cleaning» ($ 1,685) before the dentist would finish my oral exam. Also, I did not get a cleaning. I will NOT be returning. I have since found another dentist who will do everything for a small fraction of what this place charges.

Will not return to this dentist!

Based on the great reviews, I selected this dentist as my provider for my dental DMO. I was hoping that she would not be like other DMO providers where they deny your covered benefits until you pay cash for some other service not covered by the insurance.
She took all the x-​rays, and examined my teeth. She showed me lots of before and after photos of patients she’s worked on. She was very nice. I did not receive a cleaning.
After the exam, I was led into the «sales» office, where another person proceeded to tell me all the things that the Dr. thinks I «need»; then gives me two options for payment plans. It was going to cost something like $ 8000 for everything from mouth guards to TMJ treatment (I don’t have TMJ problems). And of course, a deep cleaning $ 250+ before I could receive my covered dental benefit cleaning.
I understand that everyone needs to make money, but I have a hard time building a trusting relationship with a provider that will deny my insurance benefit just to pocket extra cash. My opinion is that’s the wrong way to do business.
I have since decided to go to a dentist outside of my insurance and just pay cash. It was a great experience to participate in my care, and not have unnecessary treatments essentially forced on me.

: WARNING: STAY AWAY!!! YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!
This place is terrible, only looking to take your money! I went in for a yearly routine cleaning and x-​rays. They did my X– rays and took multiple photos of my mouth/​smile. They then proceeded to tell me of ALL my imperfections they thought I should fix??? ie; replacing old crowns (less than 3 yrs old) Replacing fillings, Contouring, Veneers??? I know I dont have perfect teeth but for never having braces my teeth are pretty darn straight! IVE NEVER CONSIDERED GETTING VENEERS!
Anyway, they then did my Perio testing (gum measurement) they said my teeth were in desperate need of a deep cleaning and I could not get a regular cleaning! That was quoted at $ 1,685.00 for deep cleaning!!! I know I did not need a deep cleaning as I regularly see a dentist and never heard of my teeth or gums being in trouble… I left this place very disappointed as they denied a regular cleaning and said I had SIX cavities that needed to be taken care of.
FALSE!!! the following week I booked an apt with another dentist Ive visited before. He redid my x-​ray, perio and said everything looked FINE!!! NO CAVITIES! yes ZERO! and no deep cleaning needed… He did my regular cleaning and said everything is in good shape, Keep up the brushing and flossing !
You’ve been warned, this place is looking to do all types of «extras» to get more money out of your pocket or your insurance! RUN!!!

Went to this dentist after getting new insurance and in extreme pain. She told me I needed a root canal, said someone comes in every few weeks to do that, also told me that my gums were receding and I needed laser treatment and it was going to be around 5,000 after insurance. I have since tried to call back several times just to get the cost of the root canal that needs to be done and the office does not return my calls. STAY AWAY from this one, unless you have a ton of money that you would like to put in your mouth, because that is all she is interested in doing.

such a great dentist! She is very intelligent and professional. It also helps that she’s kind and funny! I am usually very afraid to go to the dentist, but this doctor really eases my nerves. The dental hygienist Ivonne and the rest of the staff are also great. The new office on goldenwest is beautifully decorated making it easy to get comfortable as well unlike other typical dental offices. I would highly recommend Dr. Caballero!

Very Professional and very accommodating. I cant tell you the last time i went to the dentist but Dr. Caballero gave me helpful hints and tricks to keep my teeth in great shape and keep them gleaming!

After having 3 kids under the age of 4 I had not taken time for myself in the last 4 years to go to the dentist. I had been in pain for several weeks and called Dr. Caballero on a recommendation of a friend. Her staff was exceptional at getting me in to be seen in a timely fashion! When I walked into the office I was pleasantly surprised at the relaxing environment in the waiting room. It wasn’t a typical Dr. office feel, yet a relaxing spa like environment! (how often do you find a dentist’s office like that!?) Dr. Caballero saw me right away and with proper xrays and pictures was able to assess my case and find the exact cause of the pain. I am currently undergoing treatments to fix my very damaged teeth but have complete trust in Dr. Caballero and am looking forward to being healed!

I highly recomment Dr. Caballero, She is not only a professional, she is very thorough in her work, she is a Dentist that loves her work and I was looking for someone like her that has the passion that she has. She redid my Bridge on my teeth and it looks ten times better than it ever has, My smile not only recieved more compliments, which I owe it to her for doing such a great job. She goes the extra mile in explaining and making you feel like you have been her patient for a long time. It was worth the visit, I searched around before I had my Bridge on my teeth redone, I drove all the way from San Diego to her office and it was worth the trip. I recommend Dr. Caballero, She is by far the best Dentist I have ever been to.

My new favorite dentist! I hadn’t been to the dentist in a long time so I knew I had to get A LOT of work done and i wanted to find the perfect dentist for it. I found out about Dr. Nora Caballero from a friend who goes with her and it was definitely a great choice! The office is beautiful, The staff was really friendly and welcoming and the Dr. was really passionate about making my smile better. I ended up getting Periodontal surgery for my gums and she did a great job. She was very attentive to making sure I had the best care during my surgery! Not only did can smile with confidence :) I definitely recommend her to everyone.
