Dentists in Penn Valley

“Eclxcellent dentist, the best I’ve ever had (I changed quite a few work my bad teeth). Dr, Monte Smith is very professional, does excellent work and also made the best referral to a root canal specialist. I moved to him after my dentist, who takes my insurance, screw up few teeth and Dr. smith did great job to redo them. Now I am going on my to him, as I don’t want to redo my teeth abs want to have them done well from the first time. And he is excellent. Also very professional staff and very clean and beautiful office.“

“I remember research about dentists and how dishonest they are en masse. Researchers got an accurate dental evaluation, and went about getting evals from dentists to see how honest they were. The research result was the only reliable place to get dental care is the instruction colleges. These are certainly inexpensive, and likely superior in the latest methods of care, but scheduling is highly inconvenient and bureaucratic. I am an optimist. There is always an exception, and I only needed one dentist. My new dentist's office manager told me that I had to have two crowns done, and they needed to be done at the same time. When questioned, the office manager told me that the reason I needed both crowns done was because that's the way they had always done it. Hmm.. I pay cash. I deserve better than that and I left. I took my husband with me. So if I only needed one crown, they couldn't do it? I HAD to have two crowns? No. No is a complete sentence. I do not take medical advice from an office manager. So my molar was essentially crushed with fractures deep down into the gum. We all wondered why I wasn't in incredible pain. This greedy dentist also tried to book me for a cleaning before doing the injured crown. What? Then I found Wildwood Dental - Dr. Keith Sheppard 11300 Pleasant Valley Rd · (530) 432-1543 This dentist has seen me on a special evaluation, no cleaning, and no scam. For less than $100.00, he saw and advised me right away. This fabulous dentist, Dr. Wildwood Dental - Dr. Keith Sheppard at 11300 Pleasant Valley Rd · (530) 432-1543 offered to treat the injured tooth that very day. I could not, and he advised me that I could develop pain and/or infection at any moment. I had no trouble believing him. I never heard any of that from the other man. I never heard any caring thing of the sort from the Grass Valley dentist or the manager, but the hygienist was just darling. The greedy dentist had no concern for any potential infection, no concern for getting me in immediately. I was told by the manager that I would have to wait for a cancellation. Really? Wildwood Dental - Dr. Keith Sheppard 11300 Pleasant Valley Rd · (530) 432-1543 Is a super cool man. He is a girl-dad, and he hunts. He is very fun to talk with, as he is brilliant. He feels safe, and he is Patient-centered. I got emotional, with tears as I told them I feel safe with them because they are professional from A to Z. Patient-centered, that is the major difference. You see, greed only harms your business "bottom line". The problem with greed is the greedy cannot make sense of prosperity and abundance mindsets because they are short-sighted. Greed also ruins the beloved "bedside manner", and the "bedside manner" helps prevent lawsuits in my opinion. So, they made unfortunate choices for their own safety with their patients. It is only a matter of time before consequences come to them, but not from my family. We left. This former Grass Valley dentist lost out on at least $3,000.00 worth of work between my husband and I because they are not Patient-centered. I have to admit, this is my 3rd dentist in Nevada County. The first touched my knee, and tried to "fix" lots of teeth in my head. I never needed so much dental repair in my life! My husband was furious. The second dentist's staff tried to "punish" me because I made myself late by getting stuck in their bathroom. Locked-in. I am so silly. The punishment was to omit my X-rays. I was glad because I dislike X-Rays, and the expense as well. That could have been managed differently. However, the unprofessional behavior is unacceptable. There, I was just another number. Impersonal, rude, and passive-aggressive hygienist but great dentist. We left there too. Just go to Wildwood Dental - Dr. Keith Sheppard 11300 Pleasant Valley Rd · (530) 432-1543 It is absolutely worth the drive to Penn Valley. I am a very happy camper and do not care a hoot about the dental bill. He is worth every penny and we are loyal to this practice. I thought you should“

“Dr. Magnuson is an awesome dentist! He was extremely thorough and has a compassionate bed side manner. I was feeling really nervous about needing to get my tooth pulled. He explained clearly to me each step that he took as he and his nurse prepared me to remove my tooth. If you’re feeling anxious, nervous or any kind of way, pay him a visit you won’t be sorry.

Thank you Doc!
I appreciate you and your nurses.
