Concord Dental Care

I have been going to Dr. Herrera since he took over the office 5 years ago. I have a good amount of dental work, implants, crowns and fillings. I also have cosmetic caps. Since I know I need ongoing maintence for the work that I have had long ago, it is very important to me to trust my dentist. I do trust Dr. HERRERA. Dr. Herrera is a dentist that recommends the most up to date of procedures. I can count on Dr. Herrera to be honest with me about what is required for me to maintain each precious tooth. On my last visit, Dr. Herrera was able to do a difficult root canal and saved a tooth for me that I believe most dentists would not have been able to do. It is obvious he cares for the well being of his patients because all of his efforts are directed to that goal.
He is exceptionally well educated and dedicated.
His staff and hygenists are also very professional.
I whole heartedly recommend Dr. Allen Herrera.

I have been a patient of Dr Herrera since he took over Concord Dental Care over 5 years ago. He is the most amazing Dentist EVER! He has always been gentle with me (since I freak out when I go to the dentist), he always tells me step by step what he is doing or what his plan of action is, and most of all never does work unless it’s necessary. His Dental Hygienist, Brittany is just as amazing as him. She goes above and beyond when cleaning your teeth… She is so thorough, she spends a minimum of 45 minutes to examine and clean your teeth. She even gives you tips on what to do to have better hygiene. Last but not least, his RDA Tiffanie, is the happiest, most friendly person I’ve seen working in a dental office. She always makes me feel comfortable from the time I walk in to the time I leave.
To compliment Dr Herrera’s front desk– I cannot say enough about his Secretary/​administrative assistant Michelyn. She always fits me or my family in for emergencies so we are not stuck with any type of toothaches or other dental issues. She always tries to give me an appointment that fits into my schedule. It’s always important to have a great person up front and Dr Herrera scored big on that too!
In closing, I would recommend this office to everyone who is looking for a great dentist with an awesome staff. I actually drive 45 minutes just to go to his office and it’s more than worth it!

I’ve been Dr Herrera’s patient for over five years now. Every time I walk into his office, his staff have always been very friendly and professional. Making an appointment over the phone and in person are a breeze. As soon as I come into the office, I am always seen within 5 minutes. People usually fear going to the dentist but his hygienist, Brittany, is super gentle & thorough with cleaning and assessing my teeth. Dr. Herrera has a wonderful team and runs an exceptional practice. He always explains my dental progress in great detail and discusses various treatments based on my comfort level. I respect how Dr. Herrera keeps up with the latest research and technology on dental care. As an RN, I appreciate the quality of care he provides and I highly recommend him to any potential clients looking for a dentist who is compassionate, well experienced, and honest.

DR. HERRERA IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST AND MOST UNETHICAL «DENTIST»!!! COMPLETE RIP-​OFF!!! FRAUD!!! This has been bothering me for years and I am finally getting around to writing to this. I have been seeing Dr. Mark Swimmer (and his father before that) since I was born. Best most honest dentists ever. I have NEVER in my life had a cavity! As such, when my insurance would no longer cover Dr. Swimmer I decided to try Dr. Herrera as he was close to my house and I figured I was only going for a teeth cleaning as usual. My teeth cleaning lasted only 15 minutes (it is normarlly 45 minutes at Dr. Swimmer’s office) because Dr. Herrera had to get down to the business of ripping me off.
Well, I was shocked when Dr. Herrera told me that I had not one, but two cavities! I was soo freaked out that I said to fix them immediately. Then he starts drilling into my teeth and he goes «where was that again?» That should have been my first clue. Then he demands immediate payment of $ 120 for filling my «cavities.» After I left, my teeth hurt for months. I had never had tooth pain before in my life. I started thinking about it and how it was odd that the first time I go to another dentist I have two cavities all of a sudden. I called Dr. Swimmer and went to see him for my teeth pain. I brought my x-​rays that Dr. Herrerra took and Dr. Swimmer confirmed what I already suspected, I NEVER HAD ANY CAVITIES! DR. HERRERA WAS JUST RIPPING ME OFF! SOO DISGUSTING! i never went back and now it is cheaper for me to pay $ 80 to see Dr. Swimmer for a teeth cleaning and an honest exam than to go to an unethical hack like Herrerra. I am still considering reporting him to the Dental Board! IF YOU VALUE YOUR TEETH AND YOUR MONEY, STAY AWAY, FAR, FAR, AWAY!!!

GREAT DENTIST FOR KIDS! For reasons of convenience, I took my kids to a highly respected pediatric dental practice in a nearby town last year. When my 9 year old got fussy during a minor procedure, the dentist announced that she was going to have to use nitrous and Novocain. When she administered the Novocain she raised the syringe up where my daughter could see the needle. I was stunned at the poor bedside manner and my daughter (Yes, she can be a drama queen) was terrified.
The year before, Dr. Herrera had filled a cavity in her mouth with no problems. My daughter did not need nitrous oxide gas. She did not know that she had had a shot. Dr. Herrera’s technique with pain management generally and the syringe in particular, is impressive. No tears, no fussing. Her memory of the procedure revolves around the cool toy from the kids box.
Dr. Herrera is also my dentist. I find him personable, highly professional, and highly competent. (I also did not feel or see the syringe during my recent root canal.) He also has an excellent dental hygienist and office staff.
