Insurance and Coverage

Denti-Cal: Confirmed Yes. Confirmed in the state's fee for service provider listing, enrolled since 2013
Medi-Cal plan type: Fee for service. Medi-Cal dental also runs through managed care plans in Sacramento and Los Angeles counties, and the state list we check does not cover those. If you are on a dental plan card rather than plain Medi-Cal, ask the office whether they take your plan.
Other insurance: Not known. This list is built around Medi-Cal dental, so it does not track private plans. Ask the office which ones they take.

I was referred by a good friend whose son goes here, they scheduled the appointment on the first call within the same week, they reminded me a bunch of times so I didn't forget. At the appointment I did have to fill out a bunch of paperwork by hand, but they were very gentle with my kids and explained everything thoroughly, and we're very reassuring I felt comfortable there and I think my kids did too.

We had Dr Lim and she was great. It was only a cleaning but she was warm and welcoming...
We had the 9am appointment and there was no wait and prompt service. Front desk ladies were welcoming for the most part but I didn't feel they went out of their way.
Those were the good things. The business itself seems to be run by a man who's in it for the bottom line. The office feels built in 1990 and has only seen a coat of paint to hide how nasty the environment is. There are 3 different waiting rooms. 1 is in this more outside area. They funnel people from one side to the other.
Everything is run down. The carpets are patched with black tape. Yes... Carpet at a dentist office in all of the rooms. I'm sure it's vacuum but there's no way it's sanitary.
When I was taking the photos the man essentially saw me and began to hover and tell me that I could write reviews for my visit. He was also peering over my shoulder to blatently look at my screen and see what I was doing. He runs all his employees like this too. Treats each person as income and doesn't establish connections at all.
I'm only here because my the state insurance is accepted her for my foster child and I was directed to this establishment. If I could avoid it, I would without second thought. If you're in need for cheap care... Well, it may just cost you more in the long run. It sucks that this is the quality our governments are allowing but it is what it is.
Hope this helps you.

Good place. At first time it seems very small but there are lots of small private rooms. Clean and friendly stuff. We attend Dr Siva every 6 months for check ups almost 3 years. My 5 and 8 yo kids don’t afraid visit the dentist. Thanks for good service. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Questions People Ask

Does Dr. Siva S Cherukuri take Denti-Cal?

Yes. This dentist appears in the state's published list of enrolled Denti-Cal providers. Taking the coverage and having an opening are two different things, so still call ahead.

How do I make an appointment?

Call (650) 369-4616 and say you have Medi-Cal dental. Or use the form on this page. Your request goes to the office if it takes requests here, and to our team if it does not. Nobody else gets it.

What will it cost me?

For most Denti-Cal covered treatment there is no copay. If the office suggests something the program does not cover, ask for the price in writing before you agree.
