Ralph S Zotovich DDS

Do you want your kids to hate you forever and maybe disown you when they grow older? If you answered yes to these questions, then maybe Dr. Zotovich is right for you! My 7-year old daughter will be forever traumatized with this dentist. I made the mistake of leaving her alone (because I was asked to wait in the waiting room) while they gave her sedation juice and she came out crying and traumatized. She told me later that they strapped her and gave it to her lying down that she almost choked. She woke up mid-procedure because she threw up half of the juice they gave her and Zotovich tells me that he refuses to treat my ""uncooperative"" child unless she was completely under!?? The IV anesthesia would not be covered by insurance and it will cost $950! I told him that I give her meds all the time and she?s not ?uncooperative? and I do not have to put her in a straight jacket. Not to mention his assistants who were impolite to the point of boorishness. No children should have to go through what my daughter went through. So if this prevents even just one child from going through that again, I'll be content. I will forever regret going to this unprofessional, incompetent deficient, who waves around his dentistry license from 1976 like it makes a difference, calls himself an experienced pediatric dentist. There is no way he should be treating children. And on top of that, he puts in white composite fillings (which weren't covered by my insurance) instead of silver amalgam fillings(which were covered) on her molars after they ""pre-authorize"" our insurance. Smart move to make an extra 300 bucks.\r \r To the editors: I really hope this gets published. I obviously refrained, although painful, from any profanities that are evidently, and I assure you, well-deserved. Thank you. more

Dr. Zotovich, DDS is one of the most uncaring I have ever encountered. Being a pediatric dentist, him and this staff is totally incompetent in caring for kids. Please do your child and yourself a favor, you have a choice, choose another dentist. Get an opinion from other parents with young kids. There are many excellent dentists in San Jose. Save your child the agony. If you want a caring dentist for life. this one is not it. Pros: None compare other dentists Cons: Thumbs down. After paying hundreds of dollars least you can expect is decent service more

Never go to this dentist. The dentist and staff were unfriendly and demanding. They charge $120 for being late although you call in and tell them that you are having difficulty locating the office. They even charge for canceling an appointment that you didn't even make. They force me to do procedures that I told them I could not afford and get mad when you don't want those procedures done. Terrible service from the dentist to the staff. Don't ever want to go back there!!!! Pros: nothing Cons: terrible patient care more

My son had cleaning done with him. On his second appointment, I called the office the day before to verify the time of the appointment and the hygienist said my son's appt was 9am. So when we got in around 8:50 they said we were late!!! They said the appt was 8:30 and we were supposed to come in 30 minutes prior, so it means 8:00, But their office opens at 8:30... Then they said we have to wait 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I told them that it was their fault because they told me a diiferent time. And they dont even send reminders. Now, they are billing me $120 because I refused to wait due to I have other appointments that day. Pls avoid this dental office. more
