The most important reason for recommending this practice is the quality of care. Dr Montes is a very skilled clinician and does excellent work. I can say this because I was in the dental business for 40 years. The hygienist (Amy) is very gentle and through. They run on time, they explain everything, I could go on and on. Great practice!!!

I came to try and arrange a cash discount for paying in cash for the treatment plan that had already been created.
Not only did you not agree to accepting the free that you would receive via the Vantage agreement you have and help me save some money but you charged me $100 for being inflexible.
I won't be back and i will be very vocal about why.

I have always had a good experience at Bear Canyon. Everyone is very professional and very friendly. They are also very thorough, keeping up with x-rays that are needed, notes on conditions of certain teeth etc. Very good dentistry.

The place to go for dentistry (especially for kids/teens). They are always fantastic! They explain everything to make sure you have a positive and pain free visit. Super friendly staff and extremely clean environment. Dr. Blum is absolutely amazing and makes all of our dental visits so much better.

I should have read the comments here before calling this office, I would have saved time.
Rude staff, unprofessional front desk receptionist (male). When I scheduled my appointment the individual I spoke with was very professional and pleasant. I did arrive late and offered to reschedule, the first question by the female that opened the door was… “you didn’t bring your paperwork?” Not, good afternoon, hello, hi. Nothing. I’m ushered in. Already not feeling welcomed. Then the male desk clerk hands me a clip board and instructs me how to fill it out. Again, no &ldquo

We’ve been going here for several years and unfortunately the service that attracted us here is no more. The hygienist and staff turnover rate is surprising and ever since the hygienists and dentists have changed the service has become ridiculous. Every time myself, my husband or children have an appointment the staff insists on trying to sell us on every single thing they can think of. Not to mention the cost for our self-pay cleanings is now near $200 ... without X-rays and fluoride.
