Great dentist but when it comes to the office billing for services hang on to your wallet.
When i went to get a veneer I was quoted one price but when i went to apy the balance i was toled there was another $ 250 fee for «digital matching «of the color.
Note my teeth are virtual perfect white… and i was not told before I went to the matching studio (10 minutes and 4 photos).
That was sleazy and i would never go back to that office. there a lot of great dentists… but this only time i ve ever been treated like this by a medical professional.
When i protested the office managers response was icy and condescending
Oh btw the office mgr. is married to the doctor… so its not like he’s unaware of the biz practice.

The very best, great team, thoughtful professional clean orderly everything I like in a dentist

Dr. Smrecek and his staff took excellent care of me and made sure I understood and was comfortable through every step of the 4 hour procedure. The Dr. is extremely thorough and his attention to detail, impeccable. I especially appreciated personal follow-​up by receiving a call from the Dr. himself to check on me later. Awesome customer service. Truly exceeded expectations. I mean really, how many people can report they had a great experience with a dentist?

I came to this dentist because my former one was just not cutting it. He was recommended and I came all the way from Pomona to try this office. I like deep cleaning and do not have many problems, so the cleaning has to be top-​notch. The hygienist was very thorough and professional. The dentist’s exam was beyond thorough and did screenings for oral cancer and TMJ, I had never been examined like that before. Join their dental club and the prices are very reasonable, especially since I pay out of pocket. I could go on about all the other good things and advice given, but let’s keep it short and sweet.

My husband and I have been regular patients of Dr. Smrecek for over 17 years, with the exception of one short period when our new insurance was not covering visits to him (but after experiencing the lower quality dental care elsewhere, we decided to go back to him & pay cash because we appreciated his care so much!). His staff have been with him for years, and treat the patients with the utmost care and attention. They are very thorough, and make helpful suggestions. Dr. Smrecek himself is friendly, very detailed, patient, kind, and willing to explain and share his expertise. We are extremely pleased to have him as our dentist! If you are concerned about costs, please ask the staff — they will be happy to let you know up front. I have found that they never «push» any extra services on me, just keep me informed of what options are available if I am interested. Highly recommend!

Decided to get my cleaning done here since I have been looking for a good dentist and after seeing all the reviews went in. I have a PPO dental insurance and after booking my appointment I was told that my insurance covers 100% of my cleaning. The cleaning was good and also saw a doctor for a few minutes because of the pain I was experiencing on my right side. The doctor looked at the xray and said I needed a crown. No one talked to me about any fees– just made my next appointment and I was sent home. Before coming in to get my crown done I called in to make sure that my crown was covered at 50%. To my surprise at first they couldnt even find my insurance, after a few calls and emails they told me its going to be approximately $ 1000!!! I thought those were cash fees. Anyways I decided to go with another dentist that did an amazing job and I paid NOTHING! Few months later I even got a bill for my cleaning of $ 68 from Dr. Smrecek’s office after my insurance paid them already. VERY UNORGANIZED AND BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. After working in the dental field myself I know how the insurance works and i feel I was NOT informed before my appointments properly at all. When I called in to see if they can help me with the cleaning charges I was told by their staff that there was nothing they can do and since I didnt get my crown done there i would have to pay that fee, which I am sure I talked to the dentists wife. I feel very mislead and UNHAPPY with how they take care of their new patients. SAVE UR MONEY– they charge almost double then what other places do. They didnt even tell me they were out of network until I asked them!!!
NOT HAPPY!!!

!! If you’re looking for a wonderful Dentist and awesome staff, then LOOK NO FURTHER! Dr. Smrecek and his staff have been so wonderful and compassionate during all the years that I had to have tons of dental work, due to a car accident I had many years ago.
They are extrememly warm, friendly and professional. I still continue to get my teeth cleaned at their office every 4 months and will never go anywhere else.
Their hours are perfect! I can get a teeth cleaning or dental work as early as 7am! Ensuring that I get to work right on time and even early! They are so thorough and the best part is… you do NOT feel any pain!!! They really try to make it a very pleasant dental visit and I have ZERO complaints.
I will never use another dentist! Ever! So hopefully Dr. Smrecek never retires! lol!

And some are mental,
But the one that is both
Is dental.

I have been going to this dentist now for almost 18 years in spite of the fact I am not the greatest patient in the world. The fact they haven’t fired me yet is actually kinda amazing. But they do great work and I am slowly but surely making progress on my dental issues. A lifetime of wine and candy combined with inconsistent flossing does not help. It is why I tell Mini-​me to do as I say, in regards to teeth, not as I do. Hmmm, that probably applies to a lot more than just teeth ;)
Highly recommended and yes I did floss tonight after my earlier cleaning :)

Dr. Smrecek is a highly skilled dentist that was extremely well educated at a top notch dental school and has always maintained and stayed up to date in the ever evolving industry. Great care and he is a real professionsl.
