Pamela Dassenko & E. Carrie Ramirez, DDS

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Dassenko’s since she bought the practice from Dr. Ben Pearson. She has always been very professional, warm and kind. I appreciate her concern for my comfort during all dental procedures… working very calmly and with a gentle touch! I have experienced the same professional touch with Elizabeth, my hygienist; she is sensitive to any nerve pain during a cleaning and figures out ways to remedy my discomfort. The practice always seems very up to date with the latest dental technology and techniques.

Elizabeth is a fantastic hygienist! Very gentle and the appointment is over before you know it! Pam Dassenko is wonderful. Kind and thoughtful, everything you want in a dentist.

I am not a fan of the dentist but Dr Ramirez, her office staff and dental assistant made the experience less stressful. I told them I was very nervous and stressed and they checked in with me at every step to make sure I was ok. I took advantage of their new patient special which was an affordable option to get started. I have a long road ahead of me with fillings but feel confident that they will take good care of me.

I am new to SLO but feel very luck to have found Pam as my new Dentist. She and her team are great!

Dr. Dassenko is the best dentist I’ve ever been to. I came in with a sore gum which ended up being a bunch more complex, including a nasty infection. Dr Dassenko took care of it right away and when I left, I was on the road to recovery (I’m all smiles).

I appreciated being fit into the schedule and was treated promptly upon my arrival. Dr. Dassenko took care with my diagnosis and we are moving forward with treatment. I always get great service at the office and have been a patient for many years. I happily refer others to Dr. Dassenko’s practice!

I don’t know a lot of people who are fans of going to the dentist. But if all Dentists were like this one, I could see myself becoming a fan.
A dentist is all about the people you interact with and the experience you have with them. I’ve never been to a dentist who didn’t know how to clean teeth, but I’ve been to some that the personnel were not memorable.
The folks here are memorable. So happy and pleasant to talk to.
I was put at easy immediatley and everyone always went out of their way to make me feel comfortable, informed and good about everything going on.
I have a follow up appointment coming up soon and instead of being apprehensive I feel fine about going back. My teeth feel and look great and I know they’ll keep taking good care of me!

Exceptional dental care at every level! Dr. Dassenko is both masterful and artistic. She offers state of the art facilities and services. I’ve been a satisfied patient for over 20 years and have always been treated with respect and kindness.

Super professional and very nice office. The front office staff (Jamie) was very helpful. I highly recommend this dental group. The location is a little tricky to get to however, worth the effort!!! Be sure you look for the right sign «Dassenko DDS»

Exceptional and informative care. Nice atmosphere, very clean and comfortable. All around great dental experience!

Great team. Great results. If you don’t want to know what you need, and you don’t want to pay for what your mouth is worth, go somewhere else. On the other hand, if your willing to hear the truth, and willing to value what it’s worth, this is the place to be. You get what you pay for. Never been happier with the value provided here.

I took advantage of a $ 99.00 new patient promotion that included x-​rays, cleaning, and check-​up by the doctor. Somehow I still managed to write a $ 250.00 check before leaving. I was told I needed check-​ups every four months, instead of the usual six months. Just like S.B. and d.h., I had unnecessary procedures pushed on me. After blowing around $ 1,400.00 in about 4 months, I cut my losses and asked for my records even though Dr. Dassenko had only completed the first stage of a two stage procedure that I had already paid for (the «pre-​paid price.») I lost several hundred dollars doing this, but if I hadn’t, I have no doubt I would have been bled dry. Every time I went in, she found more costly work, both reparative and preventative, that «had» to be done. Funny how my new dentist didn’t find any of that «necessary» work.
The staff however, was excellent. Everyone I encountered was incredibly friendly and professional. I was especially impressed by the hygienist. She was the best one I’ve ever had and I was sorry to leave her.

My most recent hygiene appointment with Britta was an excellent experience. I learned some new information and really appreciated her conscientious approach. Dr. Dassenko was incredibly professional and helpful, as always. I’ve been a patient here for about 10 years and have been consistently happy with my dental care. I recommend Dr. Dassenko without reservation.

Very pleasant experience. I was very impressed how they greeted every patient. I felt like a regular right away and very welcome. If you knew me, you’d know I have dental aversion. Anything medical makes me very nervous, anxious. So to feel calm and «taken care of» at the dentist is a big deal for me.

Dr. Dassenko has been my dentist for almost 20 years. The quality of her work, her dedication to ‘staying current’ on dental technology, and her concern for the patient’s oral and overall health are tops. She employs excellent staff including skilled dental hygienists. The office environment is pleasant and staff are friendly. Dr. Dassenko is an excellent dentist.

On my first visit, I was told that my gums were infected, and I needed treatment which cost approximately $ 1700 (this was the prepay price) and would take several visits. Because I have never had any issues of gum disease (bleeding, etc), I decided to get a second opinion. I’m sure glad I did as the new dentist i went to said my gums were in excellent condition!

nice personnel, when they stay there. main complaint is doc tells you too often that you need some procedure, and keeps coming at you with «new» procedures, until you are broke, or you leave. best of all don’t start! too much $. two of the best persons left. there are many 5 star docs listed. think i will find one there, can’t be any more expensive.
