Dr. Calat and his staff are amazing! I put off some major dental work for several years because of my terrible fear. By the time I got to Dr. Calat I was in really bad shape and needed numerous extractions. He and his staff made me feel so at ease from the very first visit. They are all so considerate really go out of there way to make you comfortable with the process as possible. And most importantly, Dr. Calat was extremely patient with me and helped me through each step. I’ve been to dentists before that kind of roll their eyes at me when I voice my concerns or ask a lot of questions. He couldn’t have been nicer. The surgery went soo smoothly… It was quick and I felt nothing. Since I did have extensive work, I was in some pain when I returned home but that subsided with the medication he prescribed. For anyone who has a fear or unease with dental work, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Calat.

Dr. Calat removed my wisdom teeth. He was very friendly and I had no complications afterwards. However, his pricing was way off! I was told when I went for my consultation that they spoke with my insurance company to see what would be covered. Then they made an estimate of costs on what insurance would pay and what I had to cover ($400). 3 months later I received a bill from the dr's office saying I owed them another $1200. When I called to discuss it with them they blamed my insurance for not being clear during their initial phone call and that the amount they gave me was only an estimate. Estimates are not over $1000 off! This is ridiulous. I do not recommend going there as it also occured with someone else I know.

Dr Calat is very soothing when he speaks. The extraction went so smoothly and quickly that before I knew it, it was all over. I appreciate the fact that he uses new technology to make the process easier and more efficient. The office space is also very comfortable. The insurance had some issues but the staff was able to take care of it quickly. The experience was pleasant and I would definitely refer my friends and family to Dr Calat.

paul calat is a stand up guy but they are very shady on the pricing, he mailed me a bill 8 months later asking for 450 dollars and when i looked into it he billed my insurance for stuff he didnt do. nice guy but money hungry.

I recently had a very badly broken wisdom tooth extracted. Dr. Calat used a few small injections to numb ONLY the tooth area, and proceeded about 10 minutes later to extract the tooth literally in seconds. It was done so quickly without pain or any grinding/crunching noises that I didn't realize it was already over. I had NO pain at all afterwards, and was especially glad that my whole face wasn't numb like you usually get at the dentist. I received a phone call the next day asking how I was feeling, and a week later got a cute birthday email saying "We hope you many reasons to smile today". The staff is always pleasant and helpful, and the office is clean and bright.

I just had four wisdom teeth pulled by Dr. Calat last week. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't painful, but Dr. Calat and his staff made the experience as comfortable as possible. I was able to schedule an appointment on very short notice. When I came in, the staff was very friendly, prompt and accommodating. Dr. Calat, who is very down to earth and caring, clearly showed me what was going on with my teeth and explained my options. I definitely felt in control of the situation and given plenty of information. The surgery itself went very well and quickly. Dr. C was great in helping me feel calm beforehand. He then called a day later- on the weekend!- to make sure I was feeling ok, and left his cell #. I am going for a follow up appt soon, and overall feel very good about the whole situation! I came in feeling a lot of pain and worry, and Dr. C compassionately and skillfully has helped. I highly recommend him--and his kind, competent staff-- for oral surgery.

I had my wisdom teeth removed and it couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. If I ever need teeth pulled from my head again I would definitely go back to Dr. Calat's office.

I recommend Dr.Calat very highly. I came in for a dental implant and he was very patient with my concerns and questions. I had the procedure done and was treatly caringly by Calat as well as his staff. After the procedure he called me the next day to see how I was doing. I had this done about 3 weeks ago and had relatively no pain.

Not only was Doctor Calat very good but he made me very comfortable throughout the procedure, without pain. He even called me personally afterwards to find out my condition.....how nice. I highly recommend Doctor Calat.

Dr. Calat was very knowledgeable, caring and has very good personal skills. He makes you feel very comfortable and answers any and all questions you have about the procedures. I got 2 wisdom teeth removed which was relatively painless and fast. He explained the entire process to me and made sure I was always at ease. Even after the surgery, He made sure I was properly medicated for pain control and seeks a follow up appointment just to make sure everything's ok. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know.

Dr Calat and his wonderful staff were genuinely caring. They went the extra mile to reassure me, the doctor even called the night of my surgery to see how I was doing.

My experience was fantastic. Dr. Calat and his staff were really able to ease my fears my letting me know just what to expect. They answered all my questions (with patience)and provided a very professional and calming atmosphere which is very important when someone tell you that you have to get a extraction and possible root canal. Thank you Dr. Calat and your wonderful staff.
