Insurance and Coverage

Denti-Cal: Not confirmed This office is listed as taking Denti-Cal but we could not find it in the current state listing. That is not the same as a no, so call and ask.
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 want to change my review, not all, but i experienced Front desk staff rude, condensing and disrespectful. Argued with Dental assistant about changing my appointment when the Denist gave the instrustions.
Past appointment i experienced being helped by front desk with attentiveness and promptness.
The dental staff are alot nicer and friendlier. The supervisor onsite, is very kind and patient. Looking at the reviews from over the years, its seems like the front desk can change experiences with more positive care.
Dr. Noble was patient to explain everything and guage what i had capacity to do.
I am looking forward to better and better experiences.
