Jess Ranch Dental

Horrible place for a family at least. Bad service, was not helpful, discriminatory against myself and family. I just changed dentists after one experience. Hopefully they are great for you, as for me and my family, no thanks.

I had a great experience with this Dentist. Dr. Kalra was very kind. He made sure I was comfortable to make my procedure painless. The office staff were very nice and professional as well. Clean office. Great dental work.

I have never experienced a more discourteous front office in my 63 years of going to dentists. After making an appointment and being on hold 3x, I was given a 5 pm appointment, and my son’s x-​rays were sent to them immediately afterward (from a far better dentist).At 4:09 pm we received a phone call that they were canceling the appointment because the dentist did not do fillings on front teeth. I showed them the x-​rays which indicated that the cavities were on each of two molars and only 1 back tooth. To my face the dental assistant lied and said there were two fillings required on the front teeth. he also lied in stating that the other office emailed them two hours later. I saw the email and they sent it at approximately 10 am.
I had a bad experience with them previously when they did what they called a cleaning which was a simple polishing not even done by a dental hygienist but by a dental assistant not trained in cleanings! I assumed the dentist could at least perform a simple filling on my son, but in retrospect i am relieved that they cancelled the appointment because I feel that they are incompetent, untrained, ready to take money and do very little for the patient. I think they take advantage of non-​English speaking patients who may be unfamiliar with excellent dental care, but I am very familiar with what that looks like and this place isn’t it.
When I went back to get my Xr-​ays i was told they had destroyed them. Those were my personal medical records and they had no legal right to do so. I am reporting this office for medical Fraud as well as bad faith business practices.
I would never go near this office again and I want to warn anyone thinking of it simply because of MediCal to run as fast as you can in the opposite direction. I’d rather pay $ 300 then get free MediCal from these frauds. I think they have written these glowing tributes themselves because on both occasions when I was there only a few patients were in the waiting room and none spoke English. I suspect they wrote these themselves.

I’ve never been more at ease in a dentist’s office before now. All of the staff at super friendly including Dr. Karla. They had no problem giving me prices in the procedure that I needed. I’m so happy to have found this facility.

Friendly courteous staff. This was my 2^nd visit and both times there the longest I waited was 3 or 4 minuets. I had 2 broken teeth extracted. Dentist was professional, and no pain. They did not over book patients and dentist took his time for me. no running back and fourth like they do in a lot of dentist offices. I was in and out in less than 45 mins. Office is very clean and organized. Hi highly recommend this office.

Jess Ranch Dental, first visit, they were extremely accommodating and professional.
Dr. Amit Kalra, worked with me and assisted in preventing further damage to my teeth. Iris and Rudy were also extremely accommodating.
They have a new procedure to clean teeth, Rudy removed all my stains and no scrapping. New technology. Loved it, so glad I found them.
Thank you Jess Ranch Dental.

Beware of this dentist office being greedy!
I went to this dentist for a check up because of a decaying tooth (my last lower right molar). The dentist insisted a root canal procedure be done on the spot. My understanding is that a root canal is meant to salvage what’s left of a tooth and seal it to prevent an abscess or infection. In my case, all that was left were the roots. There was no tooth left. He did the root canal to keep the roots, and within half a year of extreme pain every day, the «tooth» abscessed. I went to a different, wonderful dentist and he insisted I try and keep the crown as long as possible, but ultimately he pulled the tooth for me within the year. I was extremely grateful. I believe that the tooth originally should have been pulled but this dentist office wanted the money from my insurance for the root canal that couldn’t even last a year (they’re supposed to last 5 years). This dentist also said I had 11 cavities and needed 11 fillings. When I went to my new dentist, he said I had 2 and filled them. Just look out for yourself, I will never come here again and will warn anyone considering this office.

I visitd this office for an exam. A soon as I walked in I was greeted nice by the front office lady. I was called to the room 5 mins after I finished my paper work and insurance checked. I loved the fact that they are digital. I was able to see my xray on a bigger screen. So when dr. Kalra explained my situation I was able to see and understand what he was talkin bout. What I really liked bout this office was that they didn’t push me into gettin any treatment I didn’t want to do. They worked around my concern, schedule, and pocket. They offered like 3 different ways on how I can pay for my treatment.
Make story short… dr. Kalra and his staff met my expectations and deserve a 5 star.
One thing I also noticed! They are a busy office. that just says it all!

I brought my son into the office, after making an appointment. Because he was complaining of a tooth ache. The wait was 45 minutes after the appointment time. The dentist looked at my son said he would have to reschedule an appointment due to him not having the proper equipment at the time for this procedure. We asked him to give our 14 year old son something for the pain, because his unable to get sleep at night. So so much pain. well now my son has an abscess tooth. Not going to see this dentist again. I complained to my insurance. And they said this dentist is already overcharging already. I don’t recommend anyone this dentist at all.

Does the office do payment plans?

The staff is amazing. The doctor is very nice and knowledgeable. They are very quick and have what seems to the common man to be great equipment. Both my wife and I used brighter. There is a great coupon on Unilocal that saved both my wife and I 75 $ on our work. In the end we were out quick and for me it only took about an hour and half to get X-​rays consult one filling and a deep clean. And at the end they have us each a tooth brush spin brush and a ten dollar starbucks card.

It was great. Everyone who worked there was super nice, and very helpful.

Dr. Amit Kalra, DDS is one of the best dentists in the High Desert, he’s such a great dentist to go to!
His staff is great, friendly and kind. They explain all the treatment thoroughly, they never push the patient to do more treatment then they have to! No over-​treatment, no over-​diagnoses!
