Peterson Michael W DDS

Dr. Peterson is the best dentist I’ve ever been to. It’s a very laid back office and he really made me feel comfortable. He spent a ton of time educating me on preventative measures and was such a sweet man!

Dr. Peterson was my dentist for a few years when I was around 19 – 20. He’s just not the dentist for me. My mom absolutely loves him, and I have several family members that also love him, but he just wasn’t for me.
The clerk is friendly, and the hygienists who’ve cleaned my teeth have done a good job, but I just felt Dr. Peterson is unprofessional. Clearly a dentist’s office is a semi-​medical setting, so birkenstocks with socks is NOT okay to wear around patients.
The thing that really bugged me though was his demeanor. He would praise my dental hygiene and say I had good, healthy teeth, and with his next breath, he’d rattle off all these «preventative» measures he strongly suggested so that my teeth wouldn’t rot out of my head in five years (even though I’ve only had one cavity ever!). Well, which is it? Do I have healthy teeth, or do I need all these procedures to «ensure» they don’t rot out of my head in my mid-​20s?
Needless to say, I stopped going to him, and didn’t find a new dentist for roughly two or three years. My new dentist is fantastic, and guess what? I didn’t have a single new cavity in that span of time.

Hes the best so what can I say!

This is the absolute worst dentist I have ever been to. I learned from professional dentists that his procedures are so out dated that he should not be practicing dentistry. I had huge complications from his work that cost me big time not only did he do the worst job ever he was not sympathetic that in fact I underwent some very serious times trying to find out what was causing my pain after he put a crown in my mouth. And bytheway never took an xray after he did it. I got a really bad infection from the crown with the post he put in my mouth it cracked my tooth under the crown I had an infection growing in my mouth. When I complained to Zack I was told oh no it could not be from what Dr. Peterson did. All I know is I had swelling in my gums right after he did it puss coming out of my gum. I suffered from dizziness, light headiness, headaches, I had an MRI, countless times to my doctors office and finally my doctor diagnosed what was causing all my pain it was from my tooth that was split under the crown and causing an infection, I needed to have the tooth surgically removed and replaced with an implant. Do not trust this guy that calls himself a dentist under no circumstances. I asked him for a refund at least some of my money after all said and done he would not even acknowledge that he screwed up big time. What a JERK! Also should mention his office is the most filthy place ever, that should have been a sign I should have walked out the door and never return.

When moving to Vallejo 25+ years ago, I needed a local dentist. After a couple of a couple of burps, a neighbor recommended Dr. Michael. I love this guy! He is has an excellent staff, it is fun to sit and chat with his receptionist, Zach, and his hygienist is thorough and sweet. He helped me raise my son with no fear of dentists, and we both continue to have problem-​free teeth and gums.
