Dr. Rangchi is nice and friendly, highly skilled, and always fair to deal with. He has great hands and makes the unpleasant business of getting your teeth cared for much less unpleasant. He works quickly, causes little discomfort, and always has a cheery word. My wife and I have been going to him since he first took over this practice from Dr. Rotman. Highly recommended!

A friend of mine had been going to Dr. Rangchi for a while. Every time he came back, I told him, it sounded like a scam dentist and he needed to find a better one. The dentist kept pushing products and claimed my friend needed to go in every 3 months and wanted to charge for all these extra products. Then he claimed my boyfriend should have his old silver fillings taken out for«natural ones.» The natural ones fell out in less than a week. On top of that, the terrible quality people who work there paid no attention when my friend had to go back because the fillings fell out and he fractured a tooth.(I blame the shoddy work they’d done on the fillings for the tooth fracture.) ONTOPOFTHAT, they also made him pay for the work they had to do to REDO on the fillings that fell out because they did a terrible job the first time. They said they’d redo the fillings and paid no attention to the tooth fracture. They sent him home without any painkillers despite him telling them he was in a lot of pain. Go find a better dentist. This one’s clearly a scam.

He’s a better businessman than he is a dentist. Two times in 9 months he requested I get x-rays, the second time was completely unnecessary, but they have a VERY expensive Xray machine his office was paying for. On two occasions, I had very small fillings done and both times the fillings fell out. Dr. Rangchi said«We’ll just leave it the way it is» No mention of refunding $ 1000 he charged me. He replaced Dr. Kenneth Rotman, the best dentist I ever had. Find a different dentist, he’s nice enough but he’s very expensive and miserly in his billing. Once I dropped in for a 1 minute consultation and I was sent a bill for $ 50. So cheap it was a real turn-off, Mr. Rangchi has taken on too much debt and will pass the costs on to you. I certainly wish Mr Rangchi would take it upon himself to refund the bill for the service he was unable to perform. I found a much better dentist, which wasn’t difficult. I felt this review was nicer than my billing and dental experiences with Mr. Rangchi. I’m only sorry I had to give him one star.

My mouth is an apocalypse. Having a great dentist like Dr. Rangchi helps. Our whole family sees him, and he’s fantastic. I’ve seen a lot of dentists over the years, and had a LOT done(root canals, crowns, onlays, cavities, filling replacement…). This guy is the real deal.

Dr. Rangchi is hands down the best dentist ever. I trust him completely with his diagnoses. He has an amazing bedside manner. He’s calm, gentle, caring and understanding of his patients’ needs. He always makes sure I am comfortable with procedures and does his best to explain situations to me and why he needs to do certain things. I couldn’t have asked for a better dentist! I highly recommend him. He’s very good preventative dentistry and is not one of those drill happy dentists. You can’t go wrong with him.

Never NEVER thought I would gush about a dentist, but let me gush. Dr. Rangchi has a gentle and kind demeanor with a quick sense of humor. That would be irrelevant if he were a crappy dentist, but he is a WONDERFUL dentist for me and my children. He has replaced my old fillings and crowned one of my teeth – my mind wandered during these visits(this from the queen of pain and anxiety), and the work has proven over the years to be excellent. He’s young, he understands kids and respects personal values, and he is incredibly skilled at what he does. I can’t recommend him ANDHISSTAFF enough. A shout out to Nicole(the hygienist) and Judy(the office manager) who round out the best dental experience I have ever had.

No one likes going to the dentist, but I’ll tell ya. I hadn’t had a cleaning or even an exam in years.literally. About a month ago, I felt a small crack on the inside of one of my teeth, close to my gum(s). I have never had a cavity in my life, so I figured that maybe my perfect record was over. Sooo, I made the appt. with Dr. Rangchi. The office is nice, bright and comfy. Judy at the front desk is awesome and pretty hilarious. All in all, my experience here has been great. No cavities and no plaque build-up! I guess the roasted and lightly salted pea(and very crunchy) snacks that I’m currently addicted to ripped my gum and exposed a little too much tooth, which was causing the sensitivity. I had a cleaning and got fitted for my night guard in literally 20 – 25 minutes! There is never a wait of more than 5 minutes once you arrive in the office. Dr. Rangchi is so friendly and funny. If you need a dentist, I strongly recommend his office.
