Daniel T. Estacio, DDS

Best Dentist in CA. The staff are professional and
always provide service with a smile. Dr Estacio is
proficient and knows his craft to a T.
I rather fight then switch from him.
The office is clean and bright, makes one feel
right at home. Great Dentist!!!

This is the first Dental Office that I went to in the U.S. in 2000. I still am a patient of Dr. Estacio for the last 10 years or so. I’ve changed dentist once, but I came back because I have no insurance problem with this office. Myra was the Office Manager of Dr. Javier then. She still is there up to now and she knows what she’s doing. Dr. Daniel Estacio took over the practice of Dr. Javier, I believe. Both dentists are great! The staff dentists and hygienists are equally fantastic. Myra and the front desk staff are wonderful even when I missed my appointments (3 times in a row)! Now, Jen or Myra calls me one hour ahead to inform me of my appointment. There might not be a sign on their parking lot but it’s the vacant space on the left side of their office if you’re facing the office. There are ample parking spaces always. Their break time is 1:00 — 2:00 p.m. My wife, my son, my grandson go to Dr. Estacio’s Dental Clinic. Too much information…

Been here for several years now. Friendly staff. They call you 24hrs before your appointment as a courtesy reminder. Every time I’ve left their office, I’ve been very satisfied with their work.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Estacio for three years and never had a bad visit. His office communicates well and gives great service. Rarely have I had to wait longer than a few minutes to get in. I would recommend him to anyone as a family dentist.

Morons! Took my 10-​year-​old girl there for a lot of dental work. She’s squeamish about dentists, but not paranoid (they knew this from her first appointment, a checkup and x-​rays). She’d never had shots and work done, and kept asking if it hurt very much, etc. So we come in for the big appointment, a week later, to get a lot of work done, and they have a chair laid out for her WITH 3 HUGE HYPODERMICS LAYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRAY! She, of course, freaks out a little bit. I pointed this out to the hygienist, who seemed clueless, so I had to move the tray to the side myself, as we waited for the dentist. Estacio himself didn’t see anything wrong with it («That’s how we did it in Bakersfield» — where he did his interneship) and referred her out to another dentist rather than have to use common sense himself.
I’ve been to dozens of dentists with all my kids and I’ve never seen such calloused, uncaring, stupidity in handling kids. Every dentist I’ve seen work on my kids, actually HIDES the hypos until they’re ready to be used, then brings it around within sight just before injecting it. Heck, they usually do that even with ME! Common sense. But I guess they do things differently in Bakersfield…

I have been going to Dr. Estacio for the past 7 years. I can’t say anything bad about them. They are open very early on weekdays, and they open every Saturday… this helps when you have a typical 9 – 5 work schedule and taking time off is difficult. Dr. Estacio is friendly, experienced, and always takes time to explain every procedure. I’ve had several things done at this clinic, ranging from a simple cleaning, to wisdom tooth extraction, and everyone involved in my procedures has always been professional and caring. I have recommend several friends and family members to Dr. Estacio and they have all had great experiences too. Some of them are now regulars. Someone on here complained about not being seen because they weren’t on the list for their insurance carrier… this is not something that Dr. Estacio’s office controls. As the benefit administrator for my place of work, I know that this has nothing to do with the providing clinic. They will not take you if you are not on the list, as they are not guaranteed that they’ll receive payment for service.

Our whole family had been going to Dr Estacio for about a year and were quite happy with him. However, recently I had pulled my 2 kids early from school for a dental appt. When we got to the office, I was told that we could not be seen because they did not see our names in the insurance provider’s list of members. The office had called me earlier to inform me of this problem. I had therefore immediately called my insurance to correct the situation; I ended up on the phone with them for about an hour. Nevertheless all this was in vain since we were turned away anyway. The woman at the reception seems to run everything. We were rescheduled for the following month instead. Of course we will never go there again.

I had an appointment and he kept me waiting for over 2.5 hours, When i was finally ushered in there was no apology for making me wait so i complained in a stern disappointed voice then dropped it. They sent me a letter before my next appointment stating they didn’t want my business, they also charged me for a teeth cleaning that my insurance covered in full and when i found a new dentist they charged me for forwarding the x-​ray they made to my new dentist, which my new dentist found unsatisfactory and had to redo. the new dentist also redid the teeth cleaning. I had a very bad experience with Dr Estacio, make sure he isnt charging you for something your insurance is covering.
