Janita Mach, DDS

Don’t even bother calling this place if you have Denti-​Cal. They’re not accepting new patients although it’s listed on their new patients Denti-​Cal website. They were extremely rude and hung up on me.

Been coming to see Dr. Mach for years, even before she moved to her current location. My dental insurance has changed over the years and Dr. Mach has always been accommodating and helpful in assisting me navigate my health options. She is professional and courteous. If you’re looking for a great dentist, Dr. Mach is the one!

Janita is my favorite dentist! I have been her patient for about 8 years. She is professional, caring, friendly and honest. Everything she does is painless. Highly recommended!

A delayed review, but if I could give 10 stars to Dr. Mach, I would!
Initially when I called in August, I was unable to get an appointment due to their full schedule until November. I was told to seek another medical provider or can possibly call back in a few months to check back. I was disappointed because quite a few offices have already turned me down. But after a week, Dr. Mach personally called me asking if I could come in at a certain time because there was a cancellation in November. I accepted the time right away.
The office was easy to find upon arrival, the staff were very friendly and helpful also. I couldn’t fill out the new patient form because I forgot my reading glasses. But the front desk staff kindly assisted me with it. The only downside I could recall was that Dr. Mach was 15 minutes behind, but I could see behind the glass doors that the staff back there was running around working hard and not standing by chit chatting away.
When it was finally my turn, Dr. Mach kindly greeted me. I haven’t seen a dentist for a long time because medical was terminated for adults a few years back and I have a couple of really bad teeth here and there. Dr. Mach thoroughly discussed several options for me and didn’t give me any pressure on deciding at all. (I felt bad that I was asking her so many questions and I didnt want her to keep running behind schedule, but she patiently answered all of them). Dr. Mach is amazing and sweet, she truly cares about her patients and «keeps it real» on their dental needs.
I came back several times to get a two teeth extracted and getting a deep cleaning done. Dr. Mach was very understanding when I told her I had an anxiety for needles too. But she was WONDERFUL. She was quick and gentle with the injections that I almost didnt feel it at all. I have wonderful gums now and I can truly see the difference between healthy and diseased teeth/​gums. I recommend Dr. Mach to anyone who is looking for quality dental work from a friendly dentist.
Unfortunately, my husband (who has no insurance at all) couldnt get an appointment because Dr. Mach is currently not accepting new patients. But we understand because she’s treating her patients like people, not numbers. That’s how she’s able to provide quality work for all of her existing patients. Hopefully she’ll take new patients again in the near future.
THANK YOU, DR. MACH and STAFF, you are all wonderful! My teeth has never felt better for the last 5 years!

I don’t generally do this, but this is a red flag for miles. I have DentiCal, which is the California dental version of MediCal. Dr. Mach’s practice is listed on the official state government site as being a DentiCal provider.
Based on the reviews, and the fact that her office is not far from my home, I called to see if I could get a tooth pulled; it’s crumbling away and the exposed nerve is causing me a lot of pain.
The conversation went as follows:
Receptionist: Good morning.
Me: Good morning. I need to have a tooth pulled and I was wondering if you’re accepting new patients.
Receptionist: What insurance do you have?
Me: I have DentiCal coverage.
Receptionist: Oh. Well, while we’re DEFINITELY a DentiCal provider, we aren’t accepting new patients. You should try one of the schools.
Me: Um, you’re listed on the government site as a provider.
Receptionist: Well, we have our hands full with DentiCal patients right now.
End of discussion.
Big Giant Red Flag. Lady, if you don’t want to treat poor people, get your name off the provider list. When the first question I’m asked is «what insurance do you have?», it’s a waste of time.
False advertising, Dr. Mach. Go take your name off the provider list and save both yourselves and the people who call you based on that listing both time and trouble.

All good she does a good job. I have no complain and i would refer her no problem to any of my friends. I just wish she uses oral anastetic too. But she does an awesome job on cavity filling and pulling out tooth

+1 star for gums that continue to grow back and look healthy. Amazing.
Thank you!
(And, you’re welcome. Happy holidays!)

I have forgotten to leave this review for quite a while… but have meant to since seeing her… Dr Mach is a very nice, honest and wonderful dentist… One of the things i HATE the most when going to a dentist is the pain of the needle giving me the Novacaine… Dr Mach has a jiggle method that make you not even feel the needle! She is super nice and a great dentist not pushing extras. I actually need to go see her soon!

Best Dentist you can ever find.
She will try to make every procedure perfect! and I mean it. I had her as my dentist since she open the office… about 10 years ago…10 years, you still cant get a complaint from me about her.
Honest, fair and understanding. Never too pushy.

Dr. Mach is WONDERFUL. Her office and staff are very welcoming, and (to my experience) very warm and helpful. Dr. Mach herself is very sweet, direct and clear, and not at all pushy. She has a sense of humor, and really sees me as a person, and not just a set of teeth and gums.
I recently had a couple of fillings filled by her. Not only was the procedure nearly painless (truly!), but after the novocain wore off, I didn’t even need to take an Advil, there was so little pain.
Oh, and my teeth look *great*. She very much concerns herself with not only protecting and helping your teeth, but also having her work look terrific. Although I think it’s shallow of me, I do feel more confident with my smile looking better. ;)
p. s. — she also smoothed out, at no additional cost, some ledges left by previous filling work. Her aesthetic sense was challenged, and she rose to it. ;)

Dr. Mach is super nice and welcoming. She’s very detailed when explaining things, and I felt very respected as she was honest with her advice.
She recommended that I take some x-​rays but understood that I don’t have a lot of money to spend, so she didn’t push me to pay for more services, and just kindly said «Whenever you feel you have the budget, give me a call.» I thought that was very kind and classy.
And when you leave a message on the answering machine, she’s even sometimes the one calling you back. That feels more personal to me. I’m so glad I found a super sweet and affordable dentist.

Dr. Mach is the nicest, most efficient and honest dentist I have met. She always has a smile on her face and really cares about her patients. Twice I have had an emergency and she has found a way to make time for me on short notice.
She will give you an honest opinion on what you need to have done as opposed to just selling you on unnecessary services and is priced fairly.
So if you need an honest and fair dentist go with her.
