Basset Creek Dental is Delicious. We shopped around for a new dentist and Dr. Wesley at Basset Creek Dental is the winner.
I have been a patient at Bassett Creek for several years and I am always impressed by the professionalism and quality of the care I receive. Dr. Mahabadi and her team are wonderful and I am grateful to have access to such great care!
I used to love this place until they said my insurance covered my cleaning and then informed me after my cleaning that they in fact couldn’t take my insurance. Now I have a $450 bill from 3 years ago I still can’t pay for because I wouldn’t have gone in if it didn’t cover the appointment because I’m on the poverty line. No one will work with me on this and I’ve called multiple times before and only got attitude and being blamed for “not updating my insurance with them” even tho I did. Make sure these guys don’t screw you over too!... (Show more)
Here they removed 2 wisdom teeth, the work was excellent and I had a very good experience with the staff and doctors at this dental clinic. Special thanks to Dr. Avendano and Dr. Mahabadi for their support in this process.
Everyone is always so courteous and kind! Excellent work also!
Dr Pablo Avendano is friendly, competent, and accessible. The assistants and support staff were uniformly helpful. Highly recommended.
You guys are very thorough and I love the savings plan. Don't like the mouth piece used for suctioning off water. Made my mouth sore.
I've been a longstanding patient of BCD, specifically Dr. Bruning. I continue to be impressed by the quality of dental care I have received through the years. From the hygienists to the dental assistants to the dentists, everyone is very focused on providing quality care and excellent customer/patient service. From time to time I've needed to be seen in an emergency situation, and BCD has always made the time for me. I highly recommend this practice.... (Show more)
When I called I got in very quickly. When I got there I barely sat down when they called me back. Everyone is so friendly and explains everything very well!
Dr Bruning at Bassett Creek Dental Office is superb! She has a fabulous disposition and is also a great dentist! The dental hygienists there are also amazing, I moved here from Chicago and I was so lucky to find this office!!!
This is the best Dental Office I have ever been too. The doctors, hygienists, and office staff are friendly, informative, truly care about me even asking about my family.
My Doctor and her assistants are kind, thoughtful and professional. I have complete confidence in them helping me with my dental needs.
Great dentist, great service, latest equipment and procedures
We have always had a great experience at Bassett Creek Dental. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a Dentist. The staff is friendly, kind and helpful. Our whole family feels comfortable including my kids. Dr Mahabadi is fantastic! She is so good with my kids, they always look forward to going to the dentist.
I have been going to Basset Creek Dental for a few years now and every time I have a great experience. The dentists and hygienists are always helpful and listen attentively. I enjoy every appointment I have with Dr. Mahabadi! She is the best!
Bassett Creek provides a uniquely, welcoming and enjoyable experience for a dental office; right away from the friendly greetings at the front desk to the interactions with the staff each step of the way. Dr. Wesley is the perfect combination of pleasant, thorough and caring which embodies the culture of the whole practice. I’m happy to continue my care here for years to come!... (Show more)
As a new patient to Bassett Creek Dental I was so pleased with how professional and nice everyone was They make you feel very comfortable. Dr Wesley was simply fantastic. I will definitely keep my business there. I can't recommend Bassett Creek Dental highly enough.
I am a new patient who needed emergency appointment (broken tooth) and Dr. Steele exceeded my expectations! He was informative, friendly, and did a great job fixing my tooth. My second visit was with the Hygienist Jenna and she did a great job too! I was referred to them by a person I trust and decided to switch from my previous dentist.
Always the best experience possible provided in an extremely profesdional manner.
I called Saturday morning with a dental emergency and they got me in more than 2 hours later. The Dental Assistant made me feel so at ease and talked me through my nervousness. Laid out a clear plan of what I should do next. I will definitely be going back to them from now on
