Atascadero Hills Dental Beck Beck Chalker

Kind, gentle, and caring. Bridge turned out great. more

Great over all. more

Satisfied with the fact that treatments didn't hurt & Dr. Chalker didn't pull any punches with his diagnosis. more

The office was very neat and clean and everyone was very pleasant and professional. The hygienist was very gentle and thorough. more

Dr. Peterson and staff are so kind and gentle. more

Nothing but good to report from last visit. Susan was super as usual and your whole atmosphere is great! Thank you! more

Hello, Dr. Peterson has been wonderful in trying to alleviate my stress in a dental chair. We have completed 3 of 4 fillings that I need done. I am now looking at 3 crowns in the future as well apparently. While I appreciate his demeanor and willingness to calm my nerves (dental surgery literally feels like some kind of torture with all the drills and smells and etc. I CAN not handle rubber dams in my mouth at all and he has worked without them so far) he did give me an extra shot of Novacaine on my last visit, probably because I thought I could handle getting 2 fillings done again like I had the week prior. Just getting that 2nd shot this time put me into a stress mode and we stopped after the first filling. This didn't happen the first time, so not sure what was different about these 2 fillings from the first 2. I attribute this to knowing I would now be numb twice as long as the previous time (and I was number far longer) but also because the assistant didn't numb the area enough before the injection. It was a different assistant this last time, the first time I do remember the assistant was Jenny. She was excellent. As a matter of fact, the pain from the injection site was sore for 2 days this time, last time there was none. I do appreciate that all "hardware" is hidden. If there is one thing that gets my stress going, it's seeing a big plate full of drills and bits. Next time when we finish the last filling, I will request to be totally numb before i feel the needle pierce my gums. I sure hope I don't have soreness at the injection site for 2 days as well. The soreness finally went away late in the afternoon today (Wednesday and my appt was Monday afternoon.) I'm just letting you know this since you sent the survey. I'm sending this privately. I will have to tackle the crowns one at a time as well, and am already anxious about the time needed to be spent in the chair. But I'll deal with that in a few months as those appointments are scheduled for December and beyond at this point. Again, he has been fantastic with helping to ease my fears, but this time was a much harder scenario for me and the leftover pain was disappointing. Your entire staff has been very friendly and accomodating though. Thank you, Machelle more

I have been very happy with Dr. Chalker, Dr. Peterson and everyone at their office for the last 5 years. My son is in his 3rd?? year of braces from Dr. Chalker and our experience with this and our check ups is all positive...Thank you for taking care of us! more

I have been going here for 7+ years and have always been happy with their service and professionalism. more

Dr. Peterson and his office staff are the best. He explains everything very thoroughly and seems to really care about exemplary patient care. I highly recommend his practice. more

I have always had a wonderful experience here! I recommend this office to anyone that doesn't currently have a dental office to go to. They are all super nice, the staff is very gentle and they always greet you by name. They are always consistent in their professionalism. I would never hesitate to refer any of my friends here. Dr. Peterson is very thorough and makes sure you know exactly what's happening at all times. He genuinely cares about each patient. I have come to actually enjoy my dental experiences, but only at this office! more

I have always had a great experience here. Yesterday was a routine cleaning, but Christie (I believe that's her name) was an incredible hygienist. She was very thorough and careful. I did not walk out of there uncomfortable and in pain. So big kudos to her! Dr. Peterson has always been attentive, listens and responds to my concerns. I really appreciate this practice and there high standards of care. more

I highly recommend Dr. Peterson. He is very gentle during his procedures and explains everything before, during and after, so you always know what he is doing. I have the worse fear of sitting in that dentist chair but Dr Peterson has such a friendly, caring way about him that the anxiety and fear seem to be tolerable. All the gals are so professional and such hard workers, they have always been great, friendly, helpful and very kind. more

I felt comfortable and at ease even though I always have some trepidation at the dentist's office. more

It's always a pleasure and very professional! more

Dr. Peterson has been a great dentist, helping me with many dental issues. What was most outstanding to me was that, without my asking, perhaps due to the fact that I am 72, he kindly offered to discount the charges. Thank you, Dr. Peterson, I will forever remember that kindness. Also, the facility is expansive and inviting, the staff caring and friendly. more

I'd seriously give this dental practice 10 stars if I could. Caring and professional. I'd go to the dentist weekly, and without question, if I had too with this place. more

Susan the Teeth Cleaner, has been amazing both times I have been there! She is personable and gentle! :) more

Dr. Peterson was the very best dentist that I have ever seen. I will miss having VIP dental work done and his friendly staff. We are relocating to Oregon and he even gave me a referral to a close colleague of his and I will continue to see his friend for great dental care. My family will miss this quality dental care in California. We wish Dr. Peterson, his family, and staff the very best in the future. Anyone searching for a dentist I would highly recommend Dr. Peterson and this dental office. I give them a five star out of five review. more

After traveling for 10 days is had some problems with sores in mouth. On my return I called for an appointment. I appreciated being given an appointment with Dr. Peterson. All the staff are exceptional and very friendly. Coming from a medical background myself I appreciate their kindness. more
