Kwiatkowski & Marschik, DDS

Extremely impressed on how kind, professional and courteous the office staff and the dentist is…
Can highly recommend this office and this dentist.

I was referred to Dr. Marschik for dental implants and I have to say her work is excellent. Her demeanor is very calm and she definitely takes the fear out of seeing a new dentist. Her staff is very helpful and go the extra mile to deal with your insurance companies for payment and are very pleasant, and polished. I would refer Dr. Marschik and Dr. Kwiatkowski to help with any dental issues you may have.

I have had great work done here. I was a resident for 10 years and had all my work done at this office. After moving away, my periodontist suggested that I go back to have a crown replaced as it was the best work that she had seen in a while and that there was no one where I live now that could do quality work as I have had here

I’ve been Dr. Marschik’s patient for a number of years and both she and Dr. Kwiatkowski do exemplary work. They have a great staff and I’ve never had a problem they couldn’t fix. The very best!

I have been a patient of Dr. Kwaitkowski for over two years. I had many dental problems following an illness. He was very empathetic to my budget restraints and worked out a payment plan. My teeth are now beautiful. Leslie

Both my wife and a colleague were visiting this office prior to my starting. They are very nice, especially the wife who is very sweet and great with the kids. I have had no issues with billing and insurance changes.

Military members BEWARE! Despite what this office might lead you to believe they ARE NOT preferred providers and you will pay dearly out of pocket! My experience with this dental office was questionable from go. It was difficult to book an appointment. They had over two weeks to request dental x-​rays from my previous dentist, but waited until two days before my appointment to do so and as a result didn’t have them on hand for reference when I was seen. They charge $ 26 the first time you walk in the door for «duplicate x-​rays» that you may or may not need in the future. The new patient paperwork you complete literally states something to the effect of «Your insurance company doesn’t know what is best for you… we do… we are in this business to make a profit…» Depending on who you speak with at the front desk, it’s literally like pulling teeth to get straight answers.
After my initial (and only) consultation with Dr. Kwiatkowski I opted to go elsewhere — THANK GOD — because at that point I was still under the impression that they were preferred providers. By the time I left the office, Dr. Kwiatkowski wanted me to come back for two crowns, a filling and a «deep cleaning» on a quarter of my mouth. He also suggested that I have my teeth bleached. For the record, I have always had routine cleanings and maintenance — I didn’t walk into Dr. Kwiatkowski’s office with mush mouth or any identified pain. I was simply trying to get established as a patient so that I could come back and have my teeth cleaned.
The next dentist I went to a week later (a preferred provider with Monterey Peninsula Dental Group) ended up doing two small fillings and a regular cleaning. I cannot begin to understand how there could be such a HUGE difference in professional dental opinion.
Two weeks after my visit with Dr. Kwiatkowski I was shocked to receive a bill for $ 52. When I called his office to discuss the bill I indicated to them that one of their receptionist wrongly lead me to believe that they were preferred providers. The woman I spoke with acknowledged that clearly there had been a miscommunication and apologized, but offered no discount on the bill. She was confident Dr. Kwiatkowski would not make any amends for the error on the part of his staff. I went so far as to ask if we could split the bill because of the misinformation I was provided, but was told «no.»
If you are looking for a dentist that can provide routine maintenance and keep your teeth and wallet happy I STRONGLY recommend finding another dentist. You will save yourself lots of time, frustration and money.
