Thank you for your excellent care. This is what medicine should be. It has been a long time since I have had regular dental care. Dr. Ramirez and her staff have been welcoming, kind and very thorough.

Definitely the best in dental care. No waiting when you arrive. Fabulous staff and super organized. It's amazing how you can get a tooth capped in one visit from start to finish. A huge emphasis on preventative tooth care and doing everything right and they set the example for that in their own practice.

I have been using your services for about 5 years now. The staff is always very friendly,the dental work is top notch, and you seem to be using the latest equipment. Nobody enjoys "going to the Dentist" however you make it a much less stressful experience. Keep up the good work.

After having the same Dentist for over thirty years, and he retired, it was hard to find good dental care. I lucked our with Dassenko/Ramirez. They are very concerned about my dental well being and I look forward to every appointment because I'm so conformable with the entire office staff. I've been with this office for over four years and would recommend them to anyone. If I need to change my appointment it has never been a problem. Thanks for making my appointments so comfortable.

My name is TomT.
I’ve had a few different dentists in my time and my treatment plan has had many challenges and Dr Ramerez is the only one that can handle it.
Dr Ramerez is my dental savior. She completely understands my need and is kind and caring. A very humble woman. My dental experience with her and her staff has been a wonderful.
I highly recommend Dr Ramerez and her staff for all your dental needs!

This is by far the best adult dental practice I have ever been to. Not only did Dr. Ramirez correctly diagnose my orthodontic needs and refer appropriately, but the staff of dental hygienists are first rate. All three cleanings I've received have been wonderful. The latest one I received the other week was the best yet, with the hygienist taking the time to thoroughly go over my current state of dental health and offering suggestions on how I could make some minor improvements in brushing. She was even wonderful with my five year old who had to accompany me to the visit. I highly recommend this dental practice, it is truly top-notch.

The dental hygienists (and office staff, for that matter) at Drs. Ramirez and Dassenko's office have gone above and beyond my expectations. They have been a supportive team in helping overcome gum health issues with frequent periodontal treatments and clear coaching on home-care. I am happy to say that with their assistance my dental health has vastly improved.
The dental hygienists at SLO Coast Dentist are all very informed on dental health issues and treatments; they have educated me on the how and why of my in-office and home-care treatments (which is important for my buy-in as a patient to be diligent about staying on top of my care). They are thorough with care, both in giving me a full hour of periodontal therapy for each session and in asking after other non-dental health concerns, family, work, etc. They exude a warm personality that encourages me to come in to the office, instead of dreading my appointment (and the cost of treatments) like I have with past dentists.
The office staff is extremely organized and helpful about providing reminders for appointments via a automated text messaging reminder system and call if you are running behind for your appointment. They have been more than willing to help in rescheduling appointments when other conflicting commitments arose as well as to explain billing and insurance coverage questions, among other items.
While I am extremely glad to have chosen SLO Coast Dentist for all the reasons stated, I would say the only drawbacks are how infrequently/briefly I actually have seen the dentists compared to past dental offices I have been with. The other minor drawback has been that the SLO Coast Dentist office is out-of-network for my work insurance.
I plan to stay with SLO Coast Dentist as long as I live in SLO and I would highly recommend them to others, particularly if you are seeking a team of dedicated professionals that will not only help you to improve your dental/gum health but will care for you like part of their family.

I seriously hated going to the dentist! I meanI had a true phobia of dentists! A popcorn kernel broke a molar and I had to find a dentist quick.... I blindly decided to chose a female dental group (random decision, really..) and I met with Dr. Dassenko and was immediately at ease. I have always spent extra time and care on my teeth purposely to avoid dentists, but I had some bleeding gums and other little things that needed to be taken care of (the broken molar included).
All the care givers and office staff are exceptional! The care givers are gentle. DR. Dassenko and Dr. Ramirez are both amazing - kind, gentle, confident and reassuring. I spent an afternoon with Dr. Ramirez as she gave a broken tooth a new crown (in one afternoon).
I actually love going to the dentist now!

An old crown fell off while traveling in SLO. Dr. Ramirez accommodated me short notice on a Friday, very kind of her. I was hoping for a temporary fix until I had a chance to see my dentist, but instead Dr Ramirez took the time and did an excellent permanent reciment of the crown after an x-ray showed no other damage. She also ensured the bite was balanced but also done in such a way to avoid extra stress on the crown to avoid a repeat of it detaching again. Super impressed by the attention she paid to someone unlikely to ever be a repeat patient.

All the girls that work here are super sweet and caring. They did an phenomenal job at fixing my teeth and getting me an immediate appointment to fix a broken tooth! They are supportive and welcoming to new patients. Dr. Ramirez is very detail oriented and conscious with her work as well as very caring with her patients. I would highly recommend this office to anyone!

On May 14, 2018 Dr. Dassenko placed an Endosteal Implant at Tth 3 in my mouth. The Post Op instructions warned that swelling was to be expected and to use ice on and off to reduce swelling. I did and there was no swelling. The instructions also said to notify their office if bleeding did not decrease within 3 days or if pain increases after several days. To my suprise there was little to no bleeding and the little pain was easily controlled by naproxen sodium.
Dr. Dassenko's technique of using a "gasket punch" to only remove the gum where implant was going to be placed and not disturbing the surrounding gum was the secret to the no bleeding and little pain.
I have had other other implants where the doctor split the gum open, installed the implant, and then sewed the gum back up around the implant. It took days and days for the bleeding, pain, and swelling to go down.
I wish that everybody used her techniques.

I’ve been going to Dr. Dassenko for over 20 years. Both she and her staff have consistently provided extremely high quality state of the art care in a comfortable and friendly setting. When my children graduated from their pediatric dentist they started going to Dr. Dassenko as well. I recently met Dr. Ramirez and was very impressed with her attention to detail and beside manner. I highly recommend their dental office!

Dr Ramirez takes good care with you as a patient and very calmly describes the procedures she is doing.
This puts you at ease and allows you to fully relax.
And she does it in a very soft, soothing voice so you feel very well taken care of.

My first visit with Dr. Dassenko was great! I didn’t wait long at all, she had fabulous bedside manner, and the staff was very friendly. I had my second visit today for my cleaning. I was in and out in an hour and they did a very thorough job. I am new to the area and relied on referrals and online reviews for choosing this office. I’m so glad I found a great office I feel comfortable with. I scheduled my husband for a visit while I was there also.

I've been with Dr. Dassenko and Dr. Ramierez's office for 4 years now. And, I have always experienced excellent care and superb service from all dental assistants. I trust each and everyone explicitly from getting the dental cleanings to a new molar cap! I appreciate the thoroughness in measuring gum loss and reminding me of the appropriate techniques I can do at home to maintain the best dental and gum care possible being 63 years old.
It's funny to say.. I always look forward to going to the dentist!

I can honestly say that my experience was beyond excellent. Melanie was great with the xrays and Pam was great with the cutting blade as well as every other tool that she and Melanie used. I was very favorably impressed with the equipment and how it was employed to identify the problems and how it was employed to create the "tooth". As I told Pam, she is light years more competent than Dandy Randy Lonsbrough, my previous dentist-failure. The ladies at the front desk, Judy and Jamie were very helpful and Britany did an excellent job cleaning my teeth (crowns). The whole experience was beyond excellent and more than perfect. I also enjoyed the ipod, especially the song entitled, "Oh Danny Boy" (Londonderry Air) by Eva Cassidy. That was my grandmother's, from Ireland, favorite song. How did your staff know that I would appreciate hearing Eva Cassidy's beautiful version? They must have done great research on my genetic history!
The visit was so outstanding that I intend to break several teeth so that I can repeat those excellent experiences. Honest! Francis Connor

My husband and I have been going to this office for 14 years. Dr Dassenko took over my care and my dental health has improved dramatically. i got compliments on my pearly whites a lot these days. My brother asked if I had any special procedures done to make my teeth look so good. I told him I have a great dentist!
the office staff are amazingly helpful, and the hygienists are all gentle and efficient which I really appreciate.
Both Dr Ramirez and Dassenko have worked on me for various dental challenges (one emergency root canal,gum grafting for some excessive recession and a few crowns that were needed to replace some very old fillings ). They are both terrific.
We love this office!

My dental care in this office dates back to sometime in the nineteen seventies. I was first Dr. Dassenko's patient before she had an associate and over the years I have benefited from several of the hygienists' staff. I am now in my nineties and have always been courteously accommodated by everyone in the office. I am currently Dr. Ramirez patient and feel very well cared for despite increasing problems related to diabetes. Michelle has become my favorite hygienist. The receptionists have helped me with dental insurance when I carried such a policy as well as taking care of prescriptions, rescheduling and payments.
The office has alwsys been spotlessly clean and equipped with impressive new machines to simplify crown construction. Dr. Ramirez has strong, yet gentle healing hands and I highly recommend the comprehensive dental services if Drs, Dassenko and Ramirez at 1250 Peach Street in San Luis Obispo.

This is the best dentist office I have ever been to. They really care about people.
I was at a loss with my previous dentist because they could never find the problem, but with Dr Ramirez probing questions she go to the bottom of my problem and fixed it.. Awesome to say the least. I will recommend this place to everyone..

Dr. Ramirez did a crown on one of my front teeth and the work done was beautiful and completely pain free. She ensured that the bite was perfect and that I was very comfortable with the result.
I also had my dental cleaning done by MIchele A.and she made sure that I was very comfortable during the whole procedure. She also advised me on better ways to keep my gums and teeth healthy.
Overall, I am very very pleased and grateful for the wonderful care.

I've been seeing Dr. Dassenko for about 20 years, and I love her and her staff. They all care so much about their clients. Dr. Dassenko really seems to emphasize ongoing education for herself and her staff, so they are always at the cutting edge of mouth care. Her hygienists are skilled and gentle, and very good at explaining and educating. I have a dead front tooth from an injury, and Dr. Dassenko built a beautiful crown for me. It looks so natural. The front office staff is friendly and professional. There's plenty of parking, and the atmosphere in the office is relaxing and positive. I highly recommend Dr. Dassenko and her staff.

I have had Pam Dassenko as my sole dentist for over 21 years. Prior to seeing her, I only went to a dentist every ten years or so. Her competence and confidence in what she does relieved me of my fears and anxiety. Now, I actually look forward to my visits with her and seeing my dental hygienist, Michelle. I have recommended her practice to my friends and know that they are as happy with her as I am.
