out of Read Reviews for Dr. Kumar Ramalingam
DON'T go here. The dentist was very rude to his employee and starting yelling at the poor girl right in front of me, then the dentist left the room for about 15 minutes. After a few minutes the dentist came back and apologized for the wait. The rest of my visit was alright until I got to the front counter. The lady at the front told me my insurance somehow did not go through and I would have to pay out of pocket. Why didn't they check this before hand! I called my insurance company and put them on the phone and sure enough I was covered! hmmm... Weird. All of this took 2 hours.. and they didn't apologize for any of it. This place is a scam. Beware!

Two root canals and crowns all procedures were painless and 100% sucessful. Staff and Dr. Ramalingam were polite and explained all dental work to me. Dr. Ramalingam is very professional and treats his staff with respect he always says thank you and please. Office was clean and also restroom. I would highly recommend him.

When I came to this office it was originally for my 4 year old. He does not have insurance, they took me step by step to help my son get the care he needed. Because of the experience my son had here I transferred my dental needs here. I have never had to wait beyond my appointment time, except when I was running late. I have had a lot of dental work done in the past and this by far has been the best!! Fast, efficient and comfortable. I can smile again. The cost is reasonable for my sons needs, no insurance and my needs, with insurance. The outside building says family dentist, this is truly family dentistry. They have treated my son and myself like we are family while in the chair or out. The whole staff is incredible!!

When my sister and me went to his office, we needed different procedures, I had one tooth that needed a root canal, and my little sister needed a cap. We told him what tooth brought us pain, and he didn't listen to a word we said, he just said, "mmhm, I know." and numbed us all over and drilled holes in a couple of teeth in the back of our mouths. Now, my sister and I have almost identical tooth problems and now I have eight teeth that have to be completely replaced at the age of 21. He has ruined not only my teeth, but my confidence. I wish my parents never took us to his rude,insensitive, dated office. I think he is only getting away with it because he is in a lower income area, where there are people who don't know any better, just trusting a dentist to do what he is supposed to. If you care for your teeth or anyone else in your family, don't take them to this hacker.

Appointments are quick and efficient. Facility is alittle bit on the older side, but Dr. Kumar was nice and so was the staff.

I had a very bad experience with this dentist. He would try to fit many patients in within a short period of time and had to come back and numb me again because the numbness would wear off while waiting. I would sit there waiting for sooo long that I finally got up and went to look around and saw other patients in other rooms waiting also (him being the only dentist there working). He sent me home without filing down a filling he had put in and set up an appt. for me to come back later and have him file it down (very uncomfortable for me the days I had to wait). The two teeth he DID work on were not the ones that I was originally having any problems with (he wanted to do cosmetic changes - metal filling to white filling - on these two). Ever since I saw him I have been having major problems with these two teeth. I have since had to have root canals on both of them (the fillings he put in them fell out within a year!). AIso, the tooth I had originally came to see him about was never even got to because I didn't want him to do any more work on me. Consequently, I would NEVER recommend Dr. Ramalingam to ANYONE!

Dr. Ramalingam is a very good dentist. He doesn't "overbook" and doesn't rush from patient to patient.
He is craftsmanlike in his work--everything has to be done just right. His attitude about pain is that it is always to be avoided.
His staff (especially Maria) do a good job of appointment reminders, insurance matters and so on.
My 3 children and myself are all happy to have him as our dentist.
We see him at Family Dental near Florin Mall.
