I have been a patient of Dr. Bessada, since he took over the practice. I think it’s been 10 or 12 years. I want to start by saying that I’ve never had a disappointing experience with his service or that of his staff. He’s always hit the right spot, he’s always done the job correctly. I have referred a number of friends to the office, they have been well satisfied too. I find Misty, the front office manager, to be very confident and on top of her game. She always calls a day in advance to remind me of the appointment and confirm. She is very professional and she’s very pleasant to deal with. My wife is also a patient of his practice and is very happy with the services from the front end to the doctor.

I feel so lucky to have found such a great place! I am embarassed to say that I missed my scheduled appointment. Misty called and asked if I was running late. She understood that I wrote the wrong date on my calendar. Misty fit me in at a later time anyway.
The patience of this woman is remarkable. Honestly, I would not have been so nice. My visit today confirmed my initial thoughts. Misty is amazing. It's not easy to have to deal with people such as myself. Lol. Customer service is tough. Especially dealing with miserable patients in pain!
I need more work done so I will be back. You're awesome Misty! Thank you.

Moved to the area looking for a dentist. Should have read reviews first. Misty is rude. I thought the whole idea of scheduling an appt. and calling to confirm was incase someone needed to reschedule. I travel alot and have had to reschedule once, and needed to do so again as I am out of town. MIsty would not give me another appt. He really needs a true professional to assist him, Misty is not it. Not sure if he knows how she handles people. Even after insurance I was looking to pay this office $1300 for the work I needed. I am currently looking for another dentist. I didn't even want to give them 1 star.....

2 previous visits Gerald had no issues, in fact dentist is awesome, but today when he went to pay with Care Credit, which we used in past at this office, he was told "we really don't like to use that don't you have cash" he is on disability so he uses this card and I pay off and he pays me back. Yes he happened to have the cash so he paid it but now makes him short for month. He had more work to be done but if front office is going to demand cash instead of using Care Credit which the dentist is a provider then we will find another dentist to complete work.

I've found Misty to be extremely informative and knows her stuff on dentistry! I don't understand these cry baby reviews about her. I personally felt very welcome at Dr Bessadas office. As well as her answering any questions I have had with great and complete knowledg
DR Bessada I have only seen once so far. But he has helped me over the phone after office hours! When I called him he was very nice and helped me with what I needed.

I will be back to Dr Bessadas office! I got alot of work for him! 🙂🙂😁

This has to be one of the rudest dental I have ever dealt with. I went to this dentist to have a basic cleaning but was told I needed to have a periodontal cleaning. I told the people at the office I didn't want periodontal cleaning and to just give me the standard cleaning that my insurance pays for. I was told I had no choice in my dental and they would only do a periodontal cleaning. After arguing with the very rude staff I finally agreed to have the periodontal cleaning. I was in the hygienist chair less than 20 minutes and what she did was no different than a standard cleaning. When I was getting ready to leave I was told that my teeth were so bad that I needed to come back 4 times a year and have a periodontal cleaning. When I refused and told them I would only come in twice a year the staff made a very nasty comment. I made an appointment for 6 months out and then when I got home I proceeded to find another dentist. When I called this dentist to cancel my appointment I was told by the staff that I had already been removed from their computer. Be very wary of this dentist it may not be a good experience for you. They are only about how much money they can get out of you.

I went for xrays to see about getting top dentures and was treated very niceky by the woman up front. Im just now waiting for a pre-authorization to go forward with impressions. From my experience thus far id highly recommend. I was told it can take 4-6 weeks which is a heck of alot better then 5 months.
