I received the best dental experience ever! I've been searching for a "home" here in Bakersfield for around 8 years. I'd had the same dentist in VA since childhood and was trying to find that true, comforting care. I'd previously gone to Gosford to receive their advertised "new patient" price. Needless to say, I had a bit of a chip on my shoulder going into Trunkey; Surely they too would attempt to upsell me. I felt completely comfortable right from the first phone call. I was very clear about my needs and felt like I was heard. My husband also needs serious dental repairs so I was shopping for a place we could trust. I didn't wait at all before Griselda gave me a consultation that included answering questions and offering solutions. Key to the "offering solutions" part was that I didn't feel pressure. I felt as though they were truly concerned, not just selling a service. When I met Dr. Trunkey, he was cheerful, helpful and direct when addressing my concerns. Imagine how delighted I was to discover (later that night, after my appointment) that I had missed a call from Dr. Trunkey the night before my appointment. The message greeted me as a new patient and asked about my concerns as a new patient. Who does that? When was the last time anyone got a personal call from a doctor (of any specialty). I am so grateful that I found Trunkey Dental. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I almost didn't want to let the secret out.
