Highly recommend pacific coast veterinary dentistry. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. My dog is very reactive and they made sure the waiting room was clear when we walked in and were very reassuring he would have no contact with any other dog while there for his extraction & root canal. They were thorough in explaining what needed to be done and didn’t force unnecessary services. The prices are not cheap but they worked with us as much as possible. Just glad my boy will be feeling better now thanks to Dr.Sharp and the staff here.

I wish we had known about Dr. Brigden four years ago -- we could have saved about 7 of our shih tzu's teeth if we had his expertise when our pup was only two years old. Long story short, just because you brush your pup's teeth every night and vets and groomers tell you that there's no need for a cleaning because his teeth "look perfect", they might not be. It would be like a human having their teeth whitened into a beautiful smile yet never having a dental exam. There are things that we owners can't see especially if you have a small pup with lots of teeth in a small space. Dr. Brigden has all the best technology at his disposal and he'll tell you exactly what's going on in your pup's mouth. He is one of the best listeners I've ever met, he truly cares about your pup's best interests, and he understands (and explains!) what's best for them long term. And his office team is amazing, especially Amber who listened to me while I was having an epic meltdown after a bad experience elsewhere. Her kindness and empathy is something I will never forget. I can't say anything more about how fabulous Pacific Coast is -- just please don't waste your time elsewhere, go to an expert and save your pup's teeth. We'll be going back for yearly cleanings now that we have Dr. Brigden and his team!

Couldn’t recommend Dr Brigden more! Took really good care of my little Oliver and didn’t use up the max amount I was quoted for even though more teeth had to be extracted than originally planned which tells me he is honest and doesn’t try to over charge. My little guy is healing well.

Our tiny senior Chihuahua has an up and coming appointment for an unavoidable dental surgery, due to a fistula/abscess. The doctor and staff are thorough, professional and caring. We understand that our little man is a high risk patient but they have helped ease our hearts and minds. We are confident that he is in the best hands.

Another doctor performed a tooth extraction on our dog Remy, which failed twice. When they wanted to attempt it a third time, we took Remy to Pacific Coast Dentistry instead. There, they had to redo the other doctor's work and fix Remy's extraction by taking out more teeth to give it more space for a better procedure. .It was unfortunate we did not take Remy here initially, but we are very grateful for Dr. Panella's hard work and knowledge. We will definitely be coming back for his teeth cleaning. We highly recommend Dr. Panella if your pets need dental care.and rhe staff is friendly and helpful!
