Sea Mar Community Health Centers - 11th St

Ive been trying to bring my 5 year old son in to have his teeth cleaned, for a solid year or two, and we've never been able to even get into his mouth for X-rays. Today he actually got his teeth cleaned! Dr. Murray and Leilani were freakin incredible, and were SO patient with my son, I think even more then myself after a certain point. They were able to convince him to let them try, and even stayed late to do so, and because of their patience and amazing care, they built a trust bond with my son, and were able to clean his teeth today! I'm still in shock and beyond impressed with how they treated us. I don't even think I'm capable of giving them the credit they deserve for what they did for us today in this review! If I could, I would give 10/5 stars and without a doubt recommend them, even for children's appointments! They were amazing with my son and I'm so grateful!

Staff was great, but I was lied to about the services they provide when I made the appointment and then it was suggested that I would just need to do my own research to find a place that does take it, as if I didn't already call and ask and was told that they had it. I am extremely grateful to the staff that tried to help and extremely unhappy about being mislead.

The surrounding area is not the best (outside smells like/ worse than a porta potty and I've seen people shooting up in the parking lot) but for anyone requesting dental care with state insurance, Dr. Mienko and Ashley- the hygienist, are the best I've ever had. I try to look past the neighborhood because of the quality care I received here. They have a sliding scale as well, if your insurance does not cover the exams or treatments. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful in next steps. I recommend this location to all my friends despite the stank outdoors.

I had questions about my insurance being accepted here. Adriana called three times to verify my insurance (my insurance is very vague about coverage). Anyhow, she was very helpful and didn't seem annoyed at calling back to verify information. I made both my first appointment and follow up at 11AM. I arrived 15 minutes early to check in (as they mentioned on the phone), I was seen on time even though the office remained quite busy. Everyone I came in contact with was helpful and professional. I was surprised the dentist (Dr. Leif) actually cleaned my teeth! Normally it is a hygienist, so that seemed like a plus. I'd recommend Sea Mar to anyone for their dentistry needs.

I want to just start by saying that I usually dont write reviews and I really dislike going to The dentist, but this place is great! The people at this clinic were wonderful! I had two wisdom teeth that I needed removed because they were causing me immense pain and swelling, but I don't have insurance so I was reluctant to even go in. I called their clinic Friday afternoon, the clerk was so sweet and assured me that they have a sliding fee scale and payment plans available. She even scheduled me an appointment for the next day! I went in and the assistants were really sweet. Dr. Shireman even pulled my teeth the same day. It took maybe an hour all together, and not even 15 minutes to pull them out! I didn't have to pay anything up front at all and they made sure I understood everything about how to heal properly and my medication. My mouth is feeling a lot better already! I will definitely be back to do my cleanings and checkups.
