Very friendly and very professional

Everything

Had Alex as my dental hygienist. She was great! Everyone in the office is professional and friendly.

Excellent care as usual.

Always so pleasant to vist the office, very professional and on time.

You were all great. A very positive e experience. Thank you.. Nancy B.

I would have given 5 stars but I did not understand that I was to see a different dentist until I was actually there at my appointment which made me feel ackward. Not that it matters really. Also I was not told that I needed to keep the temporary or asked about it for the matter. Happily I kept it and it was in good condition.

Kristen always does a terrific job of getting my teeth clean and shiny. She also provides great advice to help me keep them for life. I’m lucky to have Kristen and Dr. Mjelde as my dental care specialists!

Dr DaRe and Kristin we’re both great.

From the moment you walk inside their office you are in the best care. I am very lucky to be their patient and my teeth show their own happiness. On a chilly day you will be wrapped in a warm blanket! Have no fear.....all the staff are of the best kind....soft, gentle professional hands will fix what need to be fixed, and you will walk out with a whiter, brighter and more confident smile.

Sharon was great and assisted me in brushing my teeth. Hope to see her again in four months...

Awesome as always!

Very friendly and helpful staff. My treatment was pain free and I was not kept waiting when arrived for my appointment.

Everyone in the office is welcoming and caring. As a patient, I never feel rushed. I receive the best dental care possible.

Liked your office great staff good work.

I had a warm welcome from Cherie and a very good thorough cleaning. Thank you!

As always, a professional experience by a caring staff. Wish I would have discovered this dental office years ago. Thanks!

Alex did a great job cleaning my teeth. She if friendly and very competent.

Kristin made my teeth cleaning as pleasant as a cleaning could be. She is efficient, pleasant and gentle

Alex was very careful and painless as she cleaned my teeth. She also listened intently to my answers to her questions and relayed them accurately to Dr. Mjelde. I truly hope I get Alex for all of my teeth cleaning appointments!

Great precise work!

I met a hygienist name Alexandria, and I like her personality and she treated me Like a person not a job.

Everything was clean, professional, friendly and my teeth are always incredible Clean after seeing any of the hygienists there. The dental work I’ve had done here is top quality, and I would never go anywhere else. I recommend Dr. Da Re and Dr. Mjelde and all their staff 110%!

The teeth cleaning was done expertly and I left feeling well satisfied

As usual, outstanding support and service! Love this practice!

Does everyone like to go to the dentist for teeth cleaning and to chat with the staff the way my husband and I do? We feel like part of the family because they are so awesome!

Great thorough approach

Excellent care from Dr Da Re, as always. We have been his patients for over 20 years and highly recommend him. His hygienist, Alex, also did an exceptional job.

Best dental office in Santa Barbara

Handled my questions and did a great cleaning and a free toothbrush.

Always a pleasure to walk into your office. From start to finish, everyone is pleasant and helpful. My new dental hygienist is terrific, among the best yet.

The new hygienist (the one who works on Tuesdays and Wednesdays) did a very good job. My teeth feel very smooth, and she was unusually gentle as well as quick. I thought she did a very professional job.

you did - and always do - extremely well. Yours is the most gracious, accommodating and courteous doctors' offices of all I have had to visit. thank you!

Excellence in everything.

Teeth cleaning was very professional and with little pain.

Professional from the moment you walk into the office. Always on time so never wait and sometimes I get in early. I’ve received the best care and my teeth have never been in this good of shape.

I'm very happy with everyone associated with this dentistry. Moving here from Wisconsin was stressful but finding your dentistry was fortunate. Everyone associated with this group couldn't be more nice and professional.

I used to hate going to the dentist, but at your office everyone is SO nice, that it helps allay my fears.

Alexandra was very professional and I enjoyed my cleaning visit.

I always get the best care every time I visit the office, which has been many many years

Showed great attention and concern. Fortunately I did not have any problems and I was very pleased that number found.

Pleasant and professional.

So far my 2 teeth cleaning appointments were thorough and painless. The hygienists gave good recommendations on how to improve or continue the care of my teeth.

Very friendly, professional and thorough 👍

Friendly and very caring staff.

Awesome first visit. Impressed by office!

The lady did a good job. She is a nice, friendly person. I am happy! Best regards. Arni

Out standing staff and very friendly

Always a pleasant experience yet very professional.

Dr. DaRe and Ellen are highly professional, caring with great senses of humor. They take such good care of their patients.

Started on time. Did a great job cleaning and checking my teeth. Nothing more one could ask for.

Everything! Superior dentistry, kindness, upbeat office, funny and lovely peaceful decor in waiting room with wide selection of fabulous current magazines.

Very happy with my experience as a new patient. Staff was extremely efficient and friendly, received excellent care!

Very good. Rebecca was warm and welcoming and the staff was very professional. Excellent!

Well Done by all

Great staff and wonderful Dr. they do everything right

As usual, on time and a good experience.

Good visit

our Family have been patients of Dr Da Re for years and are happy with the professional service we ha w received and have recommended it to friends. Jerry Bidwell

Very thorough pleasant cleaning of my teeth 🦷 Always a pleasure to visit. Thanks !

I appreciated receiving a reminder postcard of my upcoming appointment. I appreciated Rebecca's warm welcome when I arrived. I enjoyed the friendly banter Kristin and I exchanged about our families--which immediately put me at ease--while she worked her magic on my pearly whites! I was relieved after Dr. Da Re's exam that I didn't have any cavities or, for the time being, need to have any fillings replaced. I am grateful I could schedule my next appointment on November 5th. I am thankful I am under the care of Dr. Da Re and his professional and courteous staff!

Each time I come into your office you make everyone feel that they are very important to you and your staff. Your staff all are very nice and very warming when you enter the office. Dr, Chris Mjelde is fabulous at giving shots. You do not feel them. I know as I have had much work done in my mouth. I am grateful that Dr. Mjelde chose dentistry as his occupation. Thank you again Dr. Mjelde and Staff you ROCK!

Not just a “hygiene “ visit, Alex worked miracles and removed spots and stains I had thought were permanent. Wow! I now have an incentive to keep up the good work......however, I don’t think I could ever give up tea!! Lovely lady, I am looking forward to my next visit. Lucille

The best dentist in Santa Barbara

Speedy service from kind, knowledgeable and conscientious staff.

Alex was excellent. A true professional. And she followed up with Dr. DaRe on a question I had, and called me with the answer, as promised. I greatly appreciated that.

As usual, I had a good experience.

Friendly, thorough and on time!

great as always

Always a great experience. The office staff, hygienists snd Dr DaRe. Highly recommend this Office.

What you always did and still do is in my experience and judgement the very best. That goes from the minute you enter and sign in with the receptionist and through the time spent in the chair getting your teeth checked, cleaned, and other potential pre-treatments performed. The hygienist makes sure every tooth is being well scrutinized before giving them a fresh healthy white shine. Dr. Mjelde has the softest touch and astoundingly performs all needed repair-work before I even have started thinking of any pain/discomfort. All in all.......I could never find a better Dentist with his Team.

Excellent as always.

Alex, my new hygienist was efficient, knowledgeable & gentle. She explained what she was doing - and why. Office staff helpful (as aways), too.

You and your staff are the most wonderful caring people. You listened to me and understood my anxiety about dentists. Everyone explained clearly and slowly of what they were doing. When I called to inform Dr. deRe that I was bleeding around teeth he got back to me almost immediately. He also went above and beyond the way to check on my allergies. I now know why my son recommended him. Thank you so very much.

Always professional and friendly. Love it

Staff is considerate and friendly. Waiting time is always short. Everyone is professional, and I trust the care I receive there.

I see absolutely nothing that you can improve on. Everyone in the office makes it a pleasure to be there...and that really says something about going to a dentist.

Shannon does an excellent job of cleaning my teeth. Plus, she’s a delightful person. 😊

Every person at the office is great. I am always pleased with the quality of the work done, explanation of treatment plans, advice, results. I have been going here for over 30 years for my dental care. The receptionists, hygienist, and Dr. DaRe are professional and welcoming. I think I am one of the few people that like going to the dentist.

Everyone is so pleasant - and I enjoy Arts & Architecture magazine. 'nuf said. (Oh - and you have taken very good care of my teeth.....)

Very accommodating on scheduling. Dr. Da Re is quick and thorough in both assessment and treatment. He inspires confidence in his ability and work. I especially appreciated him talking through every step of the treatment process. I would recommend your office.

Professional and “nice”

I am always extremely happy with all of the staff at Dr Da Re’s office. They are professional, courteous, friendly and thorough. I had a little extra issue I needed to have checked on at my latest visit and it was thoroughly examined. I feel that my dental health is in the best of hands when I come in for my biannual visits for teeth cleaning and annual checkup with Dr. Da Re. My appointments are always right on time. I am happy to recommend them for anyone looking for a dental office.

Great hygienist, very thorough and gentle. She is the best!

Have received first rate dental care for years from Dr. Da Re and the staff. The doctor is just a great dentist and I don't dread coming in. He is gentle and always informative about what he's going to do. I'm also enjoying working with my current hygienist - she works fast, is so pleasant. and does a great job.

As usual, I'm very satisfied with my session with Kristin. See you all again in four months.

I had a great experience and everything went well thank you again

The tooth cleaning was excellent, as always. In my last visit, I was examined, and charged a high amount which [ paid. When Kristan mentioned you wanted to examine me again, I feel that I have paid all I want to pay for examinations until next year.

Kristin is friendly and does a great job. No pain therefore I look forward to getting my teeth cleaned

Excellent professional care!

Excellent care

Professional friendly and very helpful service!

I feel super comfortable in the office and the staff is all very warm, natural, seemingly relaxed, and highly professional. This is for sure the best dental office I have ever had. I have had multiple procedures in the last year and all were way better than I would have expected. I do not dread going to the dentist anymore- this place is so pleasant!!!

Everyone was genuinely nice, and you don’t find that too often. I felt very informed by the various areas and I left recommending you to several friends😊

YOU DID GREAT AND I WAS GREATFUL THANKS

such a good experience !

Cheri does a great job upfront scheduling very friendly always upbeat and positive hygienist was very engaging easy parking just a great place to go for dental check up👍💪 Now mark de Re the DENIsy well that’s a different story just kidding😱🥵

OUTSTANDING PERSONNEL AND ATTENTION

I had a wonderful and relaxed teeth! As usual!

On time, pleasant and competent

Very accommodating for my 102 year old mom

Kristen was diligent and pleasant as always. I appreciate her.

I cannot think of anything to say. Alles ist im Ordnung!

As always, staff make patients feel comfortable and welcome. Thanks!

The staff is always very nice- makes going to dentist not so bad! Thanks, Linda Swenson

The care you give helps me to fall asleep in your chair that’s how relaxed I am Thank you

Thanks to staff for always being so accommodating.

Ali did a great job cleaning my teeth. What I didn’t appreciate was how I had made my regular appointment to be with Karen S. on that day, but you didn’t bother to inform me that she was no longer working with you until I arrived for the appointment. I prefer a regular hygienist that I trust and will probably switch practices if I’m given different hygienists and not even asked about it. Thanks.

Always a friendly office but very professional and on top of things to avoid dental problems that could become more serious if left untreated.

Great experience no pain

There is no more comfortable and professional office around. Most of all, we appreciate ALL the personal attention on each visit. You are TOPS in our book! Mick and Renée

My teeth seem very clean after my cleaning.

Kristin does an outstanding job! Highly recommend her.

Very friendly, efficient and on top of it establishment.. Love the office of Da Re and Mjelde.

I was taken care of very efficiently in a timely manner

Great office. Always professional

I always have a great experience when I visit this office, whether it be an emergency appt or regular cleaning and check up. The Drs and staff are warm and personable! I Highly recommend this dental practice!!! Jennifer Slorah

Everyone is very professional, very friendly, and puts you at ease.

Everyone in the office is well trained and very friendly. They make going to the dentist enjoyable. I have been a patient there for about 20 years and am very happy.

Excellent experience with efficient and friendly hygenist

Dr. Mjelde is a professional through and through. He is meticulous and a perfectionist. As he put it, "he would not sleep well at night." If he did not do the best possible job.

All personnel are friendly and competent

It’s always a pleasant experience to come to Dr. Da Re’s office. From the front desk to my excellent hygeniest, everyone is efficient, friendly and fun! Dr. Da Re is an excellent dentist, so pleasant and easy to talk to. After many years as a patient, I look forward to each visit!

Everyone is so professional and competent at their particular jobs. I have total confidence in all the people at this office. Kristen is the absolute best!

Great experience and very friendly!

I’ve been trusting my teeth this office for decades. Never even considered another dental practice. Finally took their advice on using Waterpic. Good decision!

Great visit as always. Staff is very professional, competent and friendly. Thank you!

Both hygienists are terrific. And Drs. Da Re and Mjelde are as well. A great practice.

Everyone, thanks for being there when I was feeling awful. Much better, now.

My Hygienist was superb! A new one to me, Debbie was absolutely the most gentle and sensitive hygeniest I've ever had! Plus we had fun conversation throughout. A better cleaning than yesterday's I've never had.

Very pleasant and efficient. Great music.

Great visit! No cavities!

Great job

Everything is done well! From the moment you walk into the office. The care and attention is given to each patient without being rushed.

Great!

I was very satisfied about the care and concern as well as the honesty of your office! Thank you!

Ellen is the best. She is so knowledgeable and gentle. Rebecca is very caring and friendly. I actually look forward to my visits

Ellen is a doll!

Finally a relatable light handed hygienist. Its been a while.

Good experience

Thank you for the ultimate dental care as well as the practical and innovative levels of dentistry. I’m so lucky to have listened to my friend Josie when I asked her about who to see. Dr DaRe and his staff are superb.

Little or no waiting time. Answers to all my questions with explanations. Suggestions for avoiding potential problems.

As usual, my recent visit went well. Recently recommended Dr. Da Re to a friend. Norinne

Kristen was outstanding. Entire staff efficient , effective and friendly.

I really liked the Woman who cleaned my teeth - she was great. I could not wait for the Dentist though, as I needed to get home. Thanks, Christine

Lovely. Tooth stays in. All is well. Sunshine nice in Corona Del Mar. “The Quiet Woman” is still here. We’ve tried to have a meal there, but haven’t accomplished it yet. With a broken hip we need a close parking spot . Thanks for your attention and Courtesy. I am happy.

My teeth feel like “Sparkle Plenty”

It’s actually a pleasure to go to this dentist!

Very friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

Very friendly staff

These are friends of long duration. Feel comfortable there. Dr De Ra is one of the kindest, most thoughtful persons I have encountered in health care. He keeps up on all latest info and always keeps the patient’s comfort in mind.

Every staff member is very professional and very friendly.

Great staff, great service. Very long time patient. Thank you.

Very positive experience with crown for cracked tooth and repair to chipped front tooth. Highly competent professionals who are skilled practitioners in dentistry.

Shannon did a great job on my teeth.

Marisa is amazing! Such a perfectionist, I hope she comes back after her maternity leave. Umm, could the waiting room be a tad warmer please?? Thank you, look forward to next visit Lucille

I love the office staff! They always remember names and are so welcoming. The hygienists are top rate, and of course, Dr. DeRae is the best in all of Santa Barbara, or so the rumor goes!

From the moment I walked into your office Rebecca was their waiting to welcome me with a smile. Love that girl. The young lady who waited on me was very good. She reminds me a lot like Dr. Mjelde wondering if I am comfortable. They are always concern about the welfare of the patient and not their business as so many are.

Both Sherree and Shannon were terrific. Good experience. Jack

I appreciate the efficiency and pleasant experience of getting my teeth cleaned==thanks to Kristin's fine work. I also enjoyed the retro-Sinatra Pandora music.

Best dental office ever.

Everything was great on time good conversation great doctor and assistant

Friendly reception prompt hygienist Competant friendly

This was repairing a broken tooth, and the result is wonderful. You cannot tell the difference from the other front teeth. Thanks , Dr. Mjelde!

Professional and kind...powerful combination.

Friendly and professional

My cleaning was great I would like to use the same person on my next visit. Thanks

My teeth felt so good—and clean!

Waiting till next time 😒😒

Quick and painless ! Thanks !

Excellent service as always. Best dentist in Santa Barbara.

I had a thorough teeth cleaning. Excellent service.

The dental hygienist who clean my teeth On 02/22/2019 ( sorry forgot her name ) Did a very thorough job, she has clean my teeth before, Very happy with her. You can tell that she’s extremely Knowledgeable and Professional, she explained everything to me as she went along. Thank you!! William Herman

Professional and talked me through the process. Very knowledgeable and friendly office.

I am very happy with the cleaning. The lady was professional, efficient and obviously accomplished. Best of thanks

The office staff is always so professional, very welcoming. The dentists are so calming and skilled, they always asked if you are comfortable and doing well. It is not often one can say they like to go their dentist. ❤️

I love that this office runs on time. I never have to wait more than a few minutes before being called in. The staff is always very professional and friendly. Best of all I have never had any problems with the dental work that I have had done in the last 40 years. It is worth every penny!

Great staff & Physicians, Dr. DaRe has kept my teeth in the best of working order, w/great skill, care & compassion, over many years. Big thanks to Dr. DaRe & His staff for helping w/my dental health & improvements over many moons. W/heartfelt appreciation, one lucky patient, Rand T. Hayes

Very professional, friendly and courteous office!

Good comprehensive review. The pictures do a good job of putting it in perspective.

Everything went well. Completely satisfied with Dr Da Re and his staff.

I actually look forward to coming - for a dentist office that should be the highest of accolades!

I feel very welcome.

Dr Da Re has been our dentist for over twenty years. He does beautiful work and is kind and efficient! I highly recommend him! Most sincerely, Sue Bueche

I am very sorry that my hygienist, Karen, is leaving the office--she is the best I have ever had. I know she works for various dentists, and wonder why she is leaving here c

Great as always

Good work as always with your service .

If you look for highly professional advice and work in friendly comfortable surroundings you are at the right place.

As a person with Type 1 Diabetes, I experienced a hypoglycemic event, which Kristen, my dental hygienist, knew exactly how to handle quickly and appropriately. All the staff is professional, polite, and friendly, as well, which is greatly appreciated.

Every was great!

Very friendly staff. Know my teeth are in good care!

Treated well always. If I could ask I would like to have same hygienist on my visit. I have had three different hygienist on last three visits. Maybe it is not possible for some reason. Thank you.

Kristen took the time to answer questions I had concerning my personal dental health as well as general dental information. I had a good cleaning and I appreciate her skill and manner. Rebecca answered all my appointment and insurance billing inquiries.

The service is great! The teeth cleaning is very thorough. Just what I like.

Appreciate your follow up re my appt-my tech did a great job, thanks and have a wonderful holiday-dan

I appreciate the relationships in the office, as well as attention to detail and ease of scheduling

Wonderful staff and dentist.

Hygienist answered my dental questions and also got help with insurance questions.

You have turned around my dental care. Teeth cleaning with Kristin on a regular basis has made a huge difference. Dr. Da Re and the staff are professional and focused on each patient. Grateful for your care and attention to detail.

Great staff of friendly and delightful people! Very relaxing waiting area. Excellent professional staff of dentists and support personnel . I am very pleased that I picked this dental office many years ago on a co-workers recommendation . I also have my 2 grandsons using this dental office. Highly recommend this dental facility !!

Everyone is very friendly and well trained . I have been a patient here for about 20 years and love it. 🌸🌸🌸

Greetings, First of all, of course I had a fab time, I mean who gets to go to the dentist twice in one day without leaving their office!!!! I'm so sorry that I don't remember the Office Manager's name. But again I want to thank you for your knowledge about my insurance plan. You really saved me time and money. I'm 71 and in all these years I've never met anyone as "on the spot" competent as you. Happy Holiday's Gail Lovell

The entire dental care visit is always a 10+ with Dr. Mjelde and his entire staff. I especially appreciate Dr. Mjelde's extremely careful maneuvering of his instruments to give every movement the most gentle touch of dental care/treatment. I am very happy never to need finding another Dental Office.

Always pleasant, professional and thorough! Thank you for taking care of me for so many years!

First time with Shannon. She was very gentle but my teeth felt very clean when she finished. I will see her again in March. Thank you, Shannon!

Kristin is consistently excellent!

Cleaning my teeth and preparing for my future procedure by a dentist was relaxing and informative. Will see you soon.........Hal

Always on time, easy parking, friendly staff.

On time, pleasant, very professional

Excelkent

Very professional

I received great service from Dr. Da Re and his staff. Several months ago they suggested that I use a WaterPik with a dilute bleach solution to treat my gingivitis. The effect has been nearly miraculous. Who would have thought it?

I know everyone is supposed to hate going to the dentist....but EVERYONE in your office is so pleasant and welcoming that it is always a good experience. I always appreciate how caring and thorough everyone is about my dental care.

Wonderful personal service, with excellent staff , both highly competent and very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!!!

Very enjoyable experience complete with great conversation

All went well.

On time. Friendly. Efficient

The hygienist cleaned my teeth and always does a great job. They are always right on time. It is a very clean and modern office with friendly staff. My family and I have been going there for many years and have great trust in the dentists there.

Everything

Good cleaning on time

I had a bit of an emergency, and although my dentist was on vacation, his associate was able to see me the same day I called. He did an amazing job, for which I’m very grateful.

Prompt, competent, good advice and I learned something new by way of oral hygiene.

I like the fact that the practice has kept the same front desk people for years.this was the first time I had Mida (sp?) clean my teeth and i really appreciated her approach. She inspired me to improve my dental hygiene and made me believe my gums can get healthier.

Everyone is very personable from the receptionist to the hygienist to the dentist!

Welcoming staff. Friendly and professional hygienist.

Your staff are always friendly and courteous. You make sure I’m completely comfortable and explained everything. Thank you for the many years of dental care.

Thanks for the quick appointment and the service! I really appreciate your attention to detail and true concerns Jor

Excellent in every respect.

Was first AM appt and hygienist called in sick. Staff found a way to fit me in. Kristen was excellent, requesting her for future appts. Turned what could have been a lemon into lemonade v

As always service is outstanding. Staff is wonderful. Feel well cared for and welcomed. Thank you for making it such a pleasant experience.

Called to remind me I was missing my appointment

Always on-time. Professional but very friendly. Very comfortable environment. I relax during exams and cleaning

There is nothing not to like about the office. Very nice people and a GREAT dentist. Appt. are always on time with little or no wait time. I have been coming to the same office for 25 years; and will not change for any reason!! Best dental office in Santa Barbara!!

I liked Debbie’s recommendations of things that I can be doing for better oral care but in a simplified way. Chrerie is always helpful & appreciated for working so well w/ patients on billing matters. Great staff all around & the reason i’ve never looked for another dentist.

It’s slways a great feeling when we walk in the door and are recognized by name and welcomed with a smile! It feels like you folks like your workplace and the people for whom/with whom you work. What a gift!

Supurb again. Thourough, thoughtful, and competent. Thanks

I am delighted with the dental care I havre received from this practice. Every aspect from the front office welcome to the routine hygiene has always been both professional and personable. Dr Da Re is both skillful and gentle and he explains things clearly and patiently. I recommend this practice without reservation.

I highly recommend Dr.DA’RE. He is one of the warmest most personable people I know. He has been my Dentist for 20 plus years. Thank you for giving me a beautiful smile and a pain free experience! I also want to thank all of your staff for their warm welcome when I come in to see you! ❤️

Shannon is a great hygienist.

Great Staff, always very helpful and seem to love their jobs.

Your always the best. I feel week taken care of when I come to your office. Always on time, courteous, and thoughtful Nancy

Greeted me when I arrived Started promptly Very efficient tech

I highly recommend this office to anyone who cares about excellence. As a dental technician I have the great fortune to see the work of many dentists. I also receive excellent care from the hygienists. My current hygienist Kristen is just fabulous. As far as the work the doctors go, Dr. DaRe and Dr. Mjelde are top drawer. The work is clean, consistent and the chairside manner the best. You would do well to help yourself by letting them care for you.

Ellen did a great job cleaning my teeth, and we had a very lively conversation. Rebecca is always friendly and kind.

Excellent dental office

Very nice. I always like coming.

Dr. Da Rae and the staff are thorough, thoughtful, and genuine. A range of personalities with a common thread of knowledge that transmits into patient confidence and security. Lucky us that somehow discovered Dr. Da Rae

Excellent as always

Dr Da Re is terrific — helped me to figure out I had an issue with nerve damage to my neck from old rear end collision! Patient and kind — highly recommend! :)

Dr. Mjelde, was very caring when I Told him that I couldn’t keep my appt. with him yesterday because I had to Go to urgent care. I will definitely reschedule With him soon. Julia

Shannon did a great job of cleaning my teeth! She was very personable too! The entire office is Ron well. Great dentistry experiences always!

Shannon did excellent work. She is the best hygienist I've experienced. (That's saying a lot as I'm 73 years old and have experience working in dentistry.)

I would say the entire experience was very good everything perform was performed with excellence

My hygienist was ready for me and did a great job. The office staff as always were friendly and helpful.

This was first appointment with Kristin and she is great. I have been a patient of your practice for over 30 years and Kristin will be only my 4th hygienist.

Kristen is great!

Great dentist and staff. Very professional in all aspects. Highly recommended

No wait

Very friendly atmosphere. Extremely competent dentist. It was just an annual checkup, but completely professional in every respect.

Attentive, high quality care in an efficient, professional environment.

Everything!

I look forward to going to the dentist these days. Does that sound weird? Does it sound like an oxymoron? Perhaps, but not for me since I started going to Dr Da De and staff. From the time I walk in the door for any of the services offered therein - I am with friends who happen to be professionals of the highest order. This last visit was just that - a visit. Yes, Dentistry was the reason for my being there, but it is always a good experience and therefore a visit not just an appointment. Barry Levine

Very friendly. Like family!

Thank you for great care.

Kristin is an excellent hygienist!!

Perfect!!! Great experience!

Enjoyed meeting everyone. Look forward to a long association.

So comfortable and ease of spirit. Would want to return!

Feel I have been well cared for after my visit. Thorough and a good description of what was being done. Highly recommend.

Dr. Chris was able to see me right away and he did a great job in restoring my bottom front toot. Thank you for all you did.

Thanks Lovely Front Desk Lady

Best cleaning ever!

What can I say other than I have been coming to this office for well over 25 years now and I have always been treated like a customer, not as a financial gain, and that has been a key to me coming back. I even brought my entire family to this practice. Then there is the quality of the work performed that in my opinion is very good and I give credit to the owners and the wonderful staff that support the same philosophy. Treat your customer as you would want to be treated when services are provided and you will have good customer retention. Of course let me not forget that the technical ability of this firm is very good. I am an engineer in the health care industry and I see a lot of good and bad. I have not been disappointed with this firm. Thank you and keep up the good work.

The replacement of a temporary crown with permanent crown was performed very well and was out of the office within half hour!. New crown fits perfectly with no problems.

Great 👍🏻. Thank you for your patience!

Everything as expected and on time. Dr. Is always attentive and informative. Very trustworthy.

Dr Da Re and his staff are terrific! From front office to back, this practice is TOP notch. Thanks to Dr Da Re I’m not afraid to smile anymore and I still have all of my teeth. Carissa and Kristen are my favorite hygienists ever - competent, friendly and beautiful (which never hurts). I would highly recommend this practice!

As always - easy to get in when needed, good care and great staff.

I’ve been a patient of Dr DaRae now for many years and am very happy with the care and service the provide. The entire staff are very friendly and helpful.

Dr. Meldje is a consummate professional - knowledgeable, communicative, compassionate, and conservative in his treatment philosophy. There is no better dentist in my experience.

Noticed a loose tooth I hadn't felt yet - quickly fixed before it became a problem

I have been a patient for many years via a friend's recommendation. I have been completely happy with the level of care and professionalism of the office and employees. I highly recommend them to anyone searching for a new dentist and in fact made such a recommendation recently.

I was very impressed with hygienist Maressa (sp?) - gentle, professional. She warned me of what was coming, what she was going to do, gave me feedback on her findings.

Everyone is so friendly and the cleaning is great!

Although it's a long drive to Santa Barbara (from Santa Maria) I do it because I value your dental expertise very highly. From my first visits in 1961 with Dr. Zumsteg I have always received excellent dentistry. William H. Root

I appreciate the kind and excellent cleaning by Kristen.

Appreciated timeliness, and thoroughness of exam, e.g., watching suspicious areas over time, following up with recommendations and work as needed.

I actually enjoy going to the dentist now. Everyone in the office is friendly and warm...and they all do a great job keeping my teeth healthy.

Dr. Da Re accommodated my difficult schedule and performed a wonderful, pain-free procedure for a new crown on one of my back molars. I have been a patient of Dr. Da Re for more than 25 years and have always been very happy with his work. I heartily reccomend Dr. Da Re for both routine and more complex dental work!

My teeth got clean and no problems were found.

Always a positive experience!

Love the true concern and gentle care to my dental needs Dr De Rey always gives me. The front desk has always been polite and delagent. Never a bad attitude or I would have told my Dentist and changed to another dentist. I’ve always had a very present experience and Superior care. Don’t hesitate to try them.

Very good.!
