MacDonald Ranch Modern Dentistry

Called to make an appointment for cleaning, xray and exam. Decided not to make the appointment because «deep» cleaning would be over $ 600 (I don’t have dental insurance). I told the receptionist (Jennifer) that I changed my mind about making an appointment and she hung up on me. I called right back and she picked up the phone and hung it up! I called from my home number a few minutes later, she answered, and told her how unprofessional that was and she claimed she didn’t hang up. What the heck? So unprofessional. I will never ever go here, nor would I recommend it to anyone. Front office staff is very important!!!

Everything was more than perfect. Great service, pleasant staff. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Had root canal, crown and deep cleaning done in 1 visit. State of the art equipmemt made every procedure a breeze.

I needed lots of work done on a low budget. The staff embraced my problems, both financially and physically with the depth of compassion and empathy of saints. I felt very welcome here and left after my first visit feeling hopeful and optimistic about my dental recovery. I believe I came to the right place.

I was searching for a dentist and had no success. I even walked out of an appointment due to the lack of trust and my comfort level. From the first step into McDonald Ranch Modern Dental I was comfortable. The front desk, dental assistant, and dentist worked together like a well oiled machine. They are paperless, which I like. My Dentist was Sheena Sharma, and I truly trust her and her skill level. I will not be searching for a different office. As long as I live here in Vegas, this will be my office. I am not a fan of the dentist and find that tears come easy when any work is needed. Dr Sharma minimized my tears and maximized my experience. I told anyone that would listen at my office that if a dentist was needed they should do themselves a favor and make an appointment here. Let me add that I did not know a soul in the office prior to my visit, contrary to the opinion of a fellow Unilocaler, that all the good ratings where obtained that way.

The entire team at MacDonald Ranch Modern Dentistry was very professional, patient and kind. I hadn’t been to the Dentist in almost 2 years cause I was traumatized per my last Root Canal. I was so nervous to get my Crown and Scaling treatment but, both Hygienists Lani and Joanna were extremely gentle an patient with me. The extensively explained my treatment plan and assured me they would make as comfortable as possible. Dr. Sharma performed my Crown procedure which only took about 2 hours and I felt nothing. The entire team is awesome and I have already recommended to others.

Nice clean and bright office was a good start. My favourable impression lasted throughout the visit with a very pleasant doctor, efficient tech and thorough hygienist. I knew what I would need doing and they confirmed my suspicions. However they made it easy to understand the options and I have scheduled to return for a crown and implant consultation. Would definitely recommend this office.

Alright, so scheduling my appointment was a breeze, and I especially liked the fact that I can fill out my information online prior to my appointment, rather than sit there and fill out everything right before I go back. I really appreciated how friendly all the staff was and how attentive and kind they all were. Rebecca was great at the front desk!
Though, I found this place to be a ripoff. I had a Unilocal deal to bring with me, and didn’t end up using it. I was there to get a regular cleaning. Dr. Valenzuela was very nice! We had a pre chat before starting the process, going over what my goals were for the appointment, she was great at listening and giving me knowledge on my concerns. I felt comfortable and excited to proceed.
I had my X-​rays taken, then waited for the doctor to come back and see me. After a few minutes of watching TV in my seat, she came in and briefly went over my X-​rays with me. She told me I am starting to get gingivitis to a heavy level, and that I have 3 cavities. She explained what’s called a deep cleaning that they offer and what it does and why I need it. I told her I understand what she’s talking about, and I appreciated her going into detail to make sure that I’m aware of what the procedure involves and why it is necessary.
Later, the front desk girl came by and explained the pricing to me. That’s where I knew this wasn’t right. The price was outrageous!!! Over thousands of dollars for each procedure! Let alone the fillings I would need to get done. And they told me that it was done by an oral surgeon. Really? I’m 27 with a part time job, wrong person to go fancy with. It wasn’t her fault though, and she was knowledgable and explained everything very well, including payment options! I was impressed!
Anyway, I asked to speak to the doctor once again with what I decided to do. I told her I want to go ahead with a REGULAR cleaning, and I feel the deep cleaning is unnecessary. She told me, «I will not do the regular cleaning on you because the debris that will come off of your teeth will go into your gums and worsen your gingivitis.» I said, I refuse to receive a deep cleaning for that amount of money and if she’s seriously unwilling to do a regular cleaning on me then I’m done here. She said ok and she respects my opinion.
I then went to my regular dentist, Dr. Gregory Bryan, who did an examination on my teeth and took new X-​rays. He told me a regular cleaning is definitely suffice, and I have no cavities at all. He told me my gums are healthy and that I’ve been doing a great job with hygiene.
Don’t let them fool you into paying thousands of dollars for nothing. I’m glad I didn’t. Great technology but poor professionalism. At least they had a great attitude, so 2 stars. Won’t be back. And I wish the marketing emails would stop.

I do not know who writes good reviews for this dentistry. it may be their friends/​family?
So I decided to give them a try based on reviews. I came in for basic teeth cleaning. I agree with Kris R. that I too was bombarded by their financial dept. because (supposedly) I need 4 crowns, cavity fillings on top of my cleaning. The price came out to be over $$$ a few Ks. Let me remind you that I have dental insurance. That was the price I have to pay out of pocket. I also sought a second opinion from my regular trusted dentist (in California– Moved to Vegas this year).
Long story short– they tried to charge my dental insurance –Close to $ 600 for x-​rays (they put that down for Orthodontial x-​rays) I came for cleaning and they advertise for $ 49 basic cleaning and exam, $ 25 for consultation (you mean consultation for your pricing) –over $ 200 for cleaning. WTF! My insurance had to call them to ask what’s up.
Beware of coming here unless you want to get ripped off! I wish I can give them negative stars.

If you don’t mind feeling like you are at a car lot, then go here. I can in for the $ 49 exam special. Dentist was nice, as was his staff. However, I hadn’t even had my cleaning done and I was bombarded by their financial dept while still in the dentist chair. I was told I needed 4 fillings redone cause they weren’t completely intact. Also, I was told that I needed another new filling. I felt pressured and uneasy. I sought out a second opinion from another dentist 2 days later who examined me and reviewed my X-​rays and he told me that my fillings were fine. The «cleaning» I received was mediocre at best.
This office has all the high tech equipment but it is not somewhere I would recommend. It is unethical to recommend treatment that is not indicated.
Go somewhere else.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with the friendliest smile from the lovely receptionist, Rebecca. The entire staff is top notch and made me feel completely at ease even though I was scared because I hadn’t seen a dentist in over five years. You are called in quickly and glide through the entire process. These folks are the definition of PROFESSIONALS.

If dentistry can be a pleasurable experience, this is certainly the place! The staff is welcoming and compassionate to «super chickens» like myself. The office is clean and modern and not scary at all. My husband and I both see Dr Valenzuela who took the time to meet us before working on our teeth. We were impressed by her professionalism and gentle caring nature. Tracy at the front desk is extremely pleasant and reassuring. She also makes sure that the patient knows everything about the plan and cost before ANY procedure is done. Lanni is the absolute best Dental Hygenist we have ever been to. She is thorough and does not cause pain in the process. A BIG shout out to Lanni! Ferdy is a true artist in his ability to craft a crown in 1 day… AMAZING! The entire experience at this Dental office is GREAT!

I hadn’t been to the dentist in quite a whole, so I knew it wouldn’t be pretty. The whole office made the visit very comfortable and simple. My treatment plan was explained very clearly and my payment options were very clear. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone needing dental work. Rebecca up front has a great attitude leaving a great first impression, Dr. Valenzuela made everything very clear and comfortable, Ruth her assistant had a great attitude making it an even better experience, Lani the hygienist made the process simple and as comfortable as possible, and Ferdie made my temporary crowns very well and placed them perfectly. Thank you to the whole team. Wonderful experience.

Documents uncomfortably legalistic and strongly/​obviously worded to the benefit of the provider that you had to agree/​sign in advance or they would not see you. Selling of «extras» started with reception with a brochure for an annual service plan. The dentist subsequently had «professional recommendations» to include laser treatments for my gums, an oral cavity screening/​evaluation, night mouth guards for teeth grinding and the like — and the selling was done by the actual dentist during my initial evaluation! and before the cleaning began. Honestly, as presented I questioned if future judgments would be made because things were medically necessary and/​or best practices or if it was about the money. I recently moved to Henderson and was seeking a new provider and accordingly tried the $ 49 introductory @ McDonald Ranch Dentistry. I kept thinking it felt almost like a «loss leader» deal — get you in for $ 49 and try to sell $ 4 – 500 worth of other services and stuff. If something doesn’t feel right — well, you know the saying. The cleaning was OK, was $ 49 but, the experience didn’t feel right. i would not recommend them or their personal/​professional demeanor.

I had a great experience at the MacDonald Ranch Modern Dentistry. This office is definitely modern, using the newest dental technology, they even have TV’s mounted to your chair, to view any information presented to you (I.E X-​Rays or to watch TV!) It also has got to be the most inviting dental/​doctor office around (BRIGHTLY LIT & SUPER CLEAN!). From the second I walked in, I was greeted in a very friendly manner, until the moment I left.
My experience with everyone who works there was just amazing, I can’t thank everyone in the office enough, from the receptionist to all the assistant that helped out. They are all warm and welcoming. Dr. Moskowitz, couldn’t have been a better doctor, he shared tons of information to help me better understand things I never knew about, which I love since it turns my visit into a great learning experience. Plus he answered all my questions and concerns, no matter how ridiculous they were. Lastly of course he did an EXCELLENT job on my teeth.
At the end of the day I am happy to have found this dental office, which I highly suggest giving them a try. Also they currently have a great offer for your cleaning, exam and x-​rays, which I am sure you noticed if you got this far in reading the Unilocal review page, so if you’re on the fence about an office choose this one.

We have been to dental offices from the East coast to the West coast. MacDonald Ranch Modern Dentistry is the cream of the crop. From as soon as you open the front door you are greeted by the most friendly and welcoming front desk staff. The dental assistants are friendly, knowledgeable and gentle. The dental clinic is loaded with the most modern up to date dental equipment that is in existence (you can go home with a brand new crown in the same day !!!). They accept care credit should you need immediate care where you can pay in installments interest free provided you are responsible.
The waiting room is extremely comfortable with coffee, tea or hot chocolate, television, purified water and children friendly. Unfortunately you do become comfortable and then BOOM you are called in as you are never kept waiting long. MacDonald Ranch Modern Dentistry runs its business with precision.
Of course I must save the best for last. Owner and one of the most talented and well educated dentist we have ever met, throughout the entire country will convert your issues into happiness and quickly at that. Dr. Cody Paul Mugleston, DMD is the best dentist in the country from our many dental experiences. Dr. Mugleston even teaches other dentists on the use of the latest in modern dentistry technology.
We highly recommend MacDonald Modern Dentistry to all who appreciate quality service and amazing results.

Office staff: superb — graciously answered questions and assisted with patient forms. Tech: efficient taking numerous x-​rays and careful to ensure my comfort. Dr. Valenzuela: perfect balance of professional and amicable — respectfully listened to, understood and acknowledged my concerns regarding oral care. Hygienist: Lani exceeded all expectations — as close to perfection in her craft in all respects as is humanly possible. I also took my Mom (90 years old residing in memory care) to Mac Ranch. The entire staff couldn’t have been more kind. Mom enjoyed the visit and agreed with my assessment of Lani’s expertise (even with Mom’s issues she is super critical of hygienists as am I). I was impressed with both Dr. Valenzuela’s and Lani’s offer to write a prescription for Mom’s oral care — particularly since, in my experience, many health care providers are not interested in elderly patients. In sum, I am delighted to have found Mac Ranch Modern Dentistry — all staff obviously committed to superior patient care — state of the art technology — what more can be said than that I recommend mc Ranch without reservation (the third dental office I have visited since relocating less than a year ago.)

I was actually happy with my previous dentist except that I travel and they could never get me in when I had free time so I found this place randomly off my insurance website. They are awesome! The staff was friendly and they have great hours which was a plus. My dentist spent time to get to know me a bit and I’ve had a cleaning and a brown there and in both cases the experience was the best I’ve had. The crown was a ‘do it while you wait’ which means no 2^nd appt which saved a ton of time.

Everything about this place was great accept for they didn’t resolve my dental insurance issue before I arrived. I made the appointment a month in advance. This is a new location and it was nice to be in a well decorated place with all the latest dental equipment. I will be back again soon!
Update: My insurance issue was resolved the next day and I was happily surprised to find out the costs for my procedures was significantly less than what I was expecting. Love this place!

Had a crown and a deep cleaning done yesterday. Greatest staff and doctors I’ve ever encountered. They all really made the visit stress free and were all so caring. With all the work performed my mouth still is not sore. i just finished eating cereal! Great dentist and staff. Very highly recommended! :)
