I absolutely hate getting work done on my teeth! And....somehow Padre Dental Group always makes it comfortable.

While visiting their office last month I had a few questions about my cleaning that I probably should have asked before I hopped in the chair. However...I just get so nervous every time I walk into the dental office that I just forgot. Ahhh! So... Dr.Valerie came in to chat for a second. Instead of just handing me back to the dental hygienist, Dr.Valerie actually did my cleaning. I was honored and felt so spoiled.

There is SOO much to be said for an office where the busy owner isn't afraid to get their hands dirty. It completely made my day and reassured me that I'm in good hands.

Also! Bobbi, their receptionist consistently makes me feel at home. As a matter of fact, years ago her friendly phone calls made me feel welcome before I had even stepped foot in their office. Kelly my hygienist is professional, friendly, and so down to earth.

I've always said, "The fish rots from the head down." Not the case for Padre Dental, they are thriving with abundance. Dr. Val and her husband are definitely involved and it shows that they are doing something right. This is the only dental office I've been to during the 8 years I've lived here. Their passion, friendliness, and family orientation will keep me coming back for years to come.

This is the best dentist I have ever had! I called them because I was having severe tooth pain a couple years ago, and my regular dentist told me they couldn't get me in for a month. I live in Hillcrest so I looked up dentists near me, called Padre and even though I was a new patient to them, they got me right in. I have been seeing Dr Val ever since! The office is warm and inviting, and even though I don't love going to the dentist, I do walk out of there with a smile. Kelly at the front desk is awesome too! Everyone is very friendly and thoroughly answers all of your questions.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Preston and his wife Dr. Val. They've been caring for me for almost a decade. Their staff is amazing. From the moment you arrive you're greeted with kindness and compassion by Kelly in the front office. The care is far above anything I've ever had with other dentists. I once had an dental emergency and was in severe pain when they were out of town. Within moments after contacting Dr. Preston, he arranged for colleague to rush over and treat my pain in office before I went to have a root canal. That's compassion. There are so many other instances where they went above and beyond to care for me. The hygienist Jennifer is by far the best I've ever had. Ever. Myriam, the Registered Dental Assistant has advanced training far above most in her field and always makes sure your comfortable throughout the procedures. So yes, if you want an amazing dental team, look no further. You're welcome, lol.

Had my first visit with Dr. Preston, and the entire staff are awesome. Dr. Preston was amazing, even though I just met him for the first time, I can tell he cares about his patients.Everyone is very professional, and explained everything that needed to be done. Haven't been to the dentist in a while so I have lots of dental get done. Highly recommend Padre Dental, you won't be sorry.

I've been a customer of Padre Dental for over 10 years. I absolutely love the staff and the way they accommodate you. It's such a clean office (can't complain about the view either) and always seems calm and relaxing; exactly what you need when you're entering a dentist office.

Parking can be a bit tricky, but that's just the territory of Hillcrest. Give yourself a bit of time in case it takes a bit to park.

I've been going here over 5 years and have only good things to say. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. They do not try to sell you lots of services; not at all. The dentists are so nice. I've very happy here & recommend it to others.

Five stars for Dr. Val and the team at Padre Dental Group! From Kelly at the front desk to Kelly the dental hygienist to Dr. Val and everyone in between. One of the most professional and genuinely caring group of individuals you could ever come across. They care immensely about their jobs and more importantly, about their patients.

Without getting into too much dental detail, my lovely wife Becky needed extensive dental work. She was referred by a friend to Dr. Val.
After an initial consultation the work was completed in four visits over the course of about six weeks.

There was no overcharging. No upselling of unneeded work. Dr. Val was up front, forthright and honest about everything. No shady practices at all.

The results are absolutely stunning. Not only did Dr. Val and the fine people at Padre Dental Group give Bex her smile back. They also restored her pride, confidence and self esteem.

It is a joy to see Becky smiling with pride again.

It was time to get my first crown, I was so scared because I wasn't sure what to expect. I immediately felt calm as i walked thru the door. The waiting room was calm and inviting, and i was greeted by kind people.

Dr. Val Kaenel and her team were so reassuring, which was great because I was so jumpy. Dr Val was so gentle during the procedure, I was very comfortable.

The high tech equipment being used in my procedure was amazing. I have never seen such modern equipment. My crown was completed in one visit! The machine made my crown right then and there - making a temporary crown and additional visit unnecessary.

I highly recommend this professional and kind Dental Practice!

Beautiful office and excellent customer service from everyone to the front office, to the hygienists and assistants to the dentists helping to come up with solutions to tooth problems beyond what has to be done today.
