Ricardo Castaneda, DMD

A very knowledgeable and caring dentist. I originally met him when my sister had a weekend emergency and he did such a good job with her that I started going to him. Very kind, explains everything, and his office staff is wonderful.

I have always been very squeamish about going to the dentist. I have to say that Dr. Castaneda has to best hands of all dentist I’ve ever been to. I felt no pain and he was able take care of all my issues in one visit

An amazing testimonial for what I call a super dentist. i am in a group of 42 members that meets every week. Dr. Ricardo Castaneda, is a dentist to many of the members. I Some of the members have called Doc in the middle of the night, on a Saturday afternoon or all hours of the day, and he has managed to give up what ever little time he has off and meets the member with a tooth problem at what ever the crazy hour of the day or night is or makes sure his schedule during the work day can help one of our members. the doc, in which we call him, is so attentive to our teeth needs and I am 100 percent positive he would be to anyone reading this review. he is highly educated and has earned his title as Super Doc when it comes to being a professional dentist! i highly recommend him to all needing dental work!

I ended up extracting the tooth in question. While he was right about extraction bring necessary I still don’t like the fact that he charges so much for the procedure. $ 500 for something that took ten minutes and basically was pulling out a tooth with pliers to is high for me especially since my other dentist did it for $ 95. If you don’t mind spending a bunch of money for procedures then go ahead and see Dr Castaneda, I’m sure he is a great dentist. If you want to see another great dentist that doesn’t charge an arm and a leg and is not so aggressive on just getting procedures done to make more money look up Dr. Juan Manuel Salvat he is my dentist and I highly recommend him. He recommends what you should do and is a little more laid back. Makes me feel like his best interests are my teeth and not his pocket.
This review is an update to a previous one. Before I reviewed that I visited Dr Castaneda on a Saturday and he told me to pull out a wisdom tooth since it was rotten. My other dentist ended up giving it a temporary filing it in since Dr Castaneda left it with the whole I had in in the tooth since I left his office with an appt to extract it. We tried to save the tooth hoping that cleaning it and filling it the pain would go away.

I never thought I’d write a review for a dentist however I have to share how great dr. Castaneda was. It was a Saturday afternoon and I couldn’t handle the pain I was having so I googled dentists open on Saturdays and found his office. It was about noon and they were closing at 12:30 and told me to come in as soon as possible. I arrived right at closing time they took me in (and another patient who arrived after me) they examined my teeth and found a fracture. He explained to me all my options and I decided to go with his recommendation of an extraction and bone graft. He performed the procedure right them and there. He was kind and patient and very knowledgable. I was so appreciative that he stayed late on his weekend to take care of my emergency. In small talk as I was leaving he mentioned he had plans that had now been delayed and it just showed more how he cares about his patients well being. I called his office several times to handle some paperwork and his office staff were just as kind and helpful! The dr himself even called a few days to follow up on how I was feeling. I would highly recommend him and his office to anyone looking for a new dentist!
