Denti-Cal: Confirmed Yes. Confirmed in the state's fee for service provider listing

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’ve been seeing Dr Giblin since 2012 and my wife and my kids have been seeing Dr Nguyen (aka Dr Joey) for the past few years. Both have been very attentive, take the time to explain and answer any questions and the hygienists take great care of our teeth. You never get the sense they are pushing for unnecessary procedures (which was the experience for both my wife and I at previous dentists) so we fully trust their advice and feedback. Couldn’t have asked for better dentists!

I have been going to Dr. Giblin since I was 9 years old and now my kids see Dr. Joey. I love both dentists. I knew that if Dr. Giblin partnered with someone they would be just as professional and great as he was. My 6 year old had a cavity and dr. Joey was so amazing that my son didn’t even know he got 2 shots! Seriously he still has no idea! And he left with a animal balloon. It was a great experience for him. However, just to be clear if he needed more invasive work he would have needed to go to a dentists especially for kids. My full family of 5 go to this office and they are the best hands down. The hygienist are just as lovely!

We've gone to Dr. Giblin since moving into the area in 2005 and we've never even thought about going to another dentist. Dr. Giblin has always provided top notch care without pushing expensive over-done solutions to our needs. We've always felt his fair both in pricing and in suggesting what is best for us.

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.

Call (925) 820-8686 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?
