John M Chaves, DDS

I usually don’t review businesses, but felt compelled to after having many wonderful experiences during my visits to Dr. Chaves’s office. I abhor going to the dentist given prior experiences during my youth and adulthood that were unpleasant to say the very least; now, I look forward to my visits with Dr. Chaves. I cannot say enough about Dr. Chaves and his friendly staff. Dr. Chaves’s pleasant demeanor and excellent bedside manner put me at ease – which speaks volumes about his kind and caring character. Dr. Chaves also concisely explains step by step what is being done as I undergo treatment: I have had two crowns, a root canal (virtually painless!), and dental cleanings and the quality of work is hands-​down the best I’ve been rendered throughout my experiences with dentists. I would highly recommend and have recommended coworkers, friends, and family to Dr. Chaves. If you’re looking for top notch dental work at reasonable rates with excellent customer service, Dr. Chaves sets the bar as to what quality dental care should be.

Started to get a toothache and called Dr. Chaves, got an appt. for 7:30 the next morning.
A couple of x rays later and I needed a root canal.
Everyone in the office was friendly, caring and professional. I was home by 9:00 with my tooth feeling much happier!
I received a surprise call from Starlet, the assistant when I was having dinner to make sure I was OK.
Dr. Chaves has been my Dentist for 20 years and I highly recommend him if you want great dental care.

I was a patient of Dr. Craig Ford’s, and I was very happy. Apparently, due to health issues, Dr. Ford has cut back on his schedule. A dentist named John Chavez has taken over. Yesterday, an assistant called me to schedule a cleaning. I told her I was not working, so I was free anytime. She scheduled me today at 1:30. I arrived at 1:25. I was not shown into an office until 2:00, and not seen by 2:15. That’s when I left. The office called me to say that they were sorry for any misunderstanding. I don’t know what they think I misunderstood; my appointment, that they scheduled, was at 1:30. I understood that completely. What I didn’t understand was why I was still waiting 45 minutes later. I saw Dr. Chavez once, and was not impressed. Obviously, he has a lot to learn about running a practice.

If I could give «0» stars I would. I wouldn’t even bring my old car to this place. Feels like getting bait & switch. I’m looking for new dentist & Dr. Ford is my benchmark for quality, honesty & fair price.

I have been a patient of dr ford and loved him. I was always treated with respect and comfort. Unfortunately, he had to sell his practice to dr Chaves. I was so upset. He is not at all like dr ford. :(

I broke my veneers one night, playing with my phone in bed… Freaked out, fiancé referred me to Dr. Chavez to get it fixed. His office was very understanding and booked me in right away. My first set wasn’t perfect and shifted after they were put on, but Dr. Chavez was very patient and had to have things perfect. He ordered a new set and it turned out just perfect. I can finally smile with confidence and bite into an apple without worrying my teeth are going to fall off. Thank you Dr. Chavez, Lisa, and his team.

I had a Great Day today… And it was AT THE DENTIST!!!
Everyone from the moment i arrived was Kind, Informative and Very Ready To help!!!
All issues taken care of in a very timely manner.
Dr. Chaves and Crew, I am looking forward to the future with You in it!!!
Many Thanks a New Happy Customer

I’ve seen Dr. Chaves for over 5 years now. The quality of care has been consistently exceptional. They do a great job working with your insurance provider. His office staff always lets you know what your share of costs will be BEFORE they start a procedure. Dr. Chaves also goes the extra mile to keep costs down as much as possible. He is also very responsive to emergencies. I know because just this week I had an emergency, and he got me in the same day. I never thought a root canal could go so easily. I think the world of Dr. Chaves and his dental practice!

Dr. Chaves has a very wonderful, warm and welcoming staff. They are super friendly and helpful, including Dr. Chaves himself. I actually enjoy going in to have work done on my teeth each time. I highly recommend Dr. Chaves, he has a very light hand and makes sure you are pain free at all times.

I’m not sure what took me so long to get around to writing this review. I’ve been going to Dr. Chaves for more than 15 years now. The reason I have been going so long is that Dr. Chaves is an outstanding dentist. I have heard so many horror stories from my friends and co-​workers over the years of this problem or that issue and all I can say to them is that I’ve had none of those. His staff is friendly and extremely professional. They’ve even gone above and beyond to help when I’ve had issues with my insurance either denying payment or being extremely late. I had some serious dental issues that involved a lot of work. Dr. Chaves went out of his way to make sure he customized a plan that would minimize my pain, stress, and help me extend things financially to afford to get all the work done. He is friendly, patient, and takes the time to explain things to you in a way that most Doctors/​Dentists don’t. I can’t recommend his practice highly enough.

Stopped by the office for my routine 6 month check up and as usual was thoroughly satisfied. The staff is very professional and they do a great job as well as make you feel like family. Roya is a great hygienist as well and I love her company while I’m getting my teeth done. Thanks for everything you guys do. I appreciate the great dental work and loving atmosphere!

Dr. Chaves is the best dentist I have ever experienced. He has the best touch and his work is impeccable. If you want the best, see Dr. Chaves! Oh and by the way, he is super cool. CC

I have had some bad experiences with dentist in the past. So much so that I put up with a lot of pain just so I wouldn’t have to go see one. If you are like me GO SEE DR. CHAVES!
Dr. Chaves and his staff were so friendly. They didn’t judge me for waiting so long to get help. Dr. Chaves saved a tooth that I thought was lost. There wasn’t much pain at all and they all let me know what they were doing before they did it. I really appreciate the entire offices friendly attitude and helpful nature.

staff is very nice… very welcoming Dr. Chaves. is a devil in disguise pretend to understand your needs but ultimately all he sees is dollars $$$$$$$ is very sad that theirs human beings out there that like to take advantage of the vulnerability of others for their own greed. theirs no need for you to send messages that you care what your patients write all you care Dr Chaves is how much money you can take from that patient. shame on you

Me and my wife came in for cleaning and I have to say the place is so nice and clean. we were cleaning our teeth in parallel at the same time which is great. my hygienist’s name was Jeanne and she was so great and attentive.
Dr Chaves passed by to say hi and explain that he’ll be checking my teeth after i finish and we can look at the Xrays together. he was so friendly and coool and took his time later when explaining everything in details and the steps we need to take in the future.
We liked this Dr and place a lot that we would never go anywhere else in the future… great friendly staff. great customer service and great professional Dr wearing a smile all the time which makes you feel comfortable and safe :)

Another great visit at my dentist office
Thank you dr Chaves and great stuff.
Will recommend Dr Chaves to all friends and family

There are some things in life that I don’t like to do and put it off as long as possible. Going to the dentist is one of them. That stupidity caused pain that would not go away.
A friend referred me to Dr Chaves, he told me that he was very happy with him, since I was in allot pain I called and made an appointment.
His whole staff were real nice and really seem to care about the pain I was in and assured me that my pain will go away.
The hygeienist was the first to work on me, she was cleaning my teeth and the pain was exploding through out my mouth, she insured me the pain will go away.
Dr Chaves come in and introduced himself and assured me things would get better. He started working in my mouth and told me that I had a infected tooth, After twenty or so minutes that seemed like hours Dr. Chaves told me that he saved the tooth. The pain finally went away and I finally got a good nights sleep.
I made a follow up appointment to see the Dr. in six months. I would definitely recommend Dr. Chaves, it’s really an oxymoron but he made going to the dentist enjoyable, something I didn’t was possible.

Dr. Chaves and his staff are as sweet as can be!!! They are so gentle (no pain ever felt) and the atmosphere is just inviting. They do great work and I always look forward to being greeted by the very welcoming staff. I have been coming here for years and refer people here often!
Thank you Dr. Chaves and staff for being consistent, friendly and so kind!

Dear Dr. Chaves,
There are those people who go to the dentist on a regular schedule and then there are those people like me who avoid the dentist at all cost for years upon years for fear of «the bad news» or the «I hate the dentist» well recently I had experienced a broken tooth again my first thought was «OH this will be fine I don’t need a Dentist» unfortunately I was wrong. I did some research and came across your office from the moment I had spoke to Victoria to set up the appointment I felt like I had nothing to worry about (Inside I was terrified still) haha.
Well I must say It had to have been at least 10 + years since I had stepped foot in a dental office. After experiencing the visit you gave me I must say I am fearless and was put completely at ease. You took the time to explain each step that was taken, You understood my concerns and made it a point to make sure I was comfortable every step of the way. I can not tell you how happy this experience had made me you completely changed my outlook on how a dental visit should be. For that I THANK YOU!
I stand as one who USED to fear the dentist now I stand as a patient 100% satisfied! I would recommend you without a doubt to any family, friend or foe

Dear Doc Chaves
I appreciate your time in responding. I am sorry that it took me posting a review on Unilocal to get the attention of your office. If the staff was that responsive in the first place there would have been no need for me to post my review.
The tooth brush that your office sold me came with a LIFE TIME warranty. So this means more than 7 years. I had never paid this much for a electric tooth brush before and it was explained to me that it was so expensive because of the life time warranty which was why i bought it.
Just so you know i have had to have it replaced 3 time in the past 7 years. Each time was a major hassle and it took the company a few months to replace it. So after your office refused to even take a message for you or anyone else in the office that could help tracking the company down i spend that weekend researching on line and after lots of emails got them to respond to me. The company does not currently publish there phone numbers and seem to make it very difficult for a customer to contact them. However, I persisted and they agreed to replace it for the 4^th time.
I can understand why you stopped selling this product as its certainly not worth the money. Also the company told me that they «Life Time» warranty is now limited. They arbitrarily decided this. When i questioned them on what this means, they told me it means that the warranty is not only valid until it breaks again and they are NOT REPLACING it. So there warranty is a joke.
So I leaned out of this not to get up sold by a dentist to buy an expensive tooth brush and just get a $ 4 one form CVS.
Also having your reputation brand manager company write a review attempting to discredit my review of your practice is pretty sad. I have reported that review to Unilocal.
Again, thanks for replying but its just a little too late for it to have been help full to me.
