I will NOT be going back to this dentist! Went in because a molar was breaking apart and the dentist came in, looked at it and said I would need a crown. Then he immediately left the room and had the dental assistant deal with me and the price. $1100 for the whole procedure. Got my crown done the next day and had quite a bit of discomfort. Dentist brushed it off like I was overreacting and said to take ibuprofen and tylenol. By a few nights later on a Sunday I was in excruciating pain and my gum was swollen. Called Dr. Valbuenas emergency line and waited 2 hours with no return call!! Had to go to the emergency room where I was started on antibiotics and pain pills. The dentist finally called me back and still acted like it was no big deal and told me to come in next week to have it checked!! No way will I return! I'm reporting this dentist to the ADA and the Attorney General!!
