I have always been over-the-top terrified of the dentist. Not any more! Dr. Arellano and his entire staff are amazing. I was not even nervous coming in for a more involved procedure than I had ever needed before. Pain management was perfect. The dental technician who does my cleanings (regular and deep) is fantastic. I am finally taking care of my teeth because of this practice, since I'm not longer afraid to get things done and have stopped avoiding the dentist. The front desk staff are wonderful too. If I could give this practice a million stars I would.

I have had gum recession for years and was afraid to have surgery to correct it. A good friend recommended Dr. Arellano and, I went in for several dental cleanings before deciding to have the surgery done. He and his staff took very good care of me. When it was time for the surgery (three quadrants), I could tell the care he took with each step (including a big gum line filling). After the surgery, he and his office were easy to reach for any questions.

I felt cared for with each step. Dr. Arellano is an excellent doctor and his kindness and dedication are clear. A big thank you to his staff, Mei and all the work he puts in to find that best answers to his patients' needs.

I've been coming here since 2013 and had quite a few procedures done to repair years and years of not being able to see a dentist. I initially picked this place because it was far away from my office downtown at the time. One of the key features of this office is their glass atrium that looks out to a small enclosed garden. It's very relaxing and soothing to sit in the chair during long procedures and look outside or have natural lighting instead of a white-walled room with fluorescent lights.

I've had my teeth cleaned by Debbie. Annie and Mannie who are all really nice and awesome people. They don't sweat me about my oral hygiene habits but will demonstrate and educate me if they notice anything. Dr. Arellano patched up my cavities and replaced all the really worn out silver fillings I had as a child. He also did a gum graft on me that has helped heaps with tooth/gum sensitivity I had been experiencing for years. Mei is also a staple at the office and is such a sweetheart.

It's a pleasure to be in communication with her as she helps me navigate the confusing world of insurance. Mei keeps me on top of my progress and payments. Everyone here is extremely professional and kind. I recommend this office and their services to anyone who is looking for a pleasant environment with people working with you to get what you need done.

Dr. Arellano and his team provide myself and our family excellent dental care. Having visited many other dentists over the years I can say that he and his team are head and shoulders above all the others. Keep up the great work.

I've been going to Dr. Arellano's dental office for quite a few years now and I continue to be impressed with the high quality of dental care I receive. All the staff are very professional, courtesy and kind. I have quite a few dental issues (gum disease, recurring abcesses) so I've received specific treatments for these issues. I always feel like my concerns are taken seriously. And when I go to Dr. Arellano's office, I am treated like a collaborative partner in my own care, which I deeply appreciate.

I think all the practitioners here take great pride in their work and they enjoy what they do. In the past, since I was a child, I have received care from dentists that were "just doing their job" and were quite barbaric in their care. I couldn't be more pleased with the care I get from Dr. Arellano and his staff and am proud to call Dr. Arellano my dentist!
