Dr. Ricardo M. Gaitan DDS and Associates is a gem for comprehensive dental care. My family switched here last year, and we’ve been thrilled with the experience. Dr. Gaitan has a warm, reassuring manner that put my 8-year-old at ease during her first filling—he even let her pick a fun toothpaste flavor.

For me, his crown work is flawless, matching my natural teeth perfectly. The hygienists are thorough yet gentle, and they take time to explain oral care tips in both English and Spanish, which is a huge plus for our bilingual household. The office is clean and modern, with flexible scheduling that fits our busy lives. They handle insurance seamlessly and are upfront about costs. It’s the kind of practice that makes you feel like family.

Worst experience I ever experienced in my life. Dr. Ricardo insisted I do a root canal and started doing it. After 3-4 appointments he was not able to fix my tooth and said it was complicated and referred me to another specialist.

The last appointment he did I felt a very sharp pain while being under anesthesia that pain almost lasted 2 weeks while progressively getting worse daily. The pain started from my right lower lips and went all the way up my jaw and I even felt a strong headache on the top of my head. I feel like if he hadn't done anything I wouldn’t be in this kind of pain. I can't trust dentists anymore because of this guy.

He prescribed me some medicine and when I ran out he said to use over-the-counter meds that barely do anything for the pain. I felt a moderate amount of pain from time to time before he did anything to my tooth but nothing like what I am experiencing now. Not to forget paying extra money for the CT scans and not being able to work because of going to appointments and not being able to function properly afterwards.
