Dr. Gregory J. Ocampo, DDS - Watsonville, California

My dentist stopped taking my insurance and I had to look for a new provider since I was due for a cleaning. I found Dr Ocampo and scheduled an appointment. After reading these negative reviews, I wish I would have read them prior to going to him. My appointment was canceled the same morning because the dental hygienist called in sick. No big deal, I took their next appointment which was at 7:45am and arranged for time off work (again). I arrived at my appointment at 7:40am, the receptionist and the assistant who took my xrays were welcoming. However, Dr Ocampo didn’t show up to my appointment until 9:05am. He walked in disregarding the fact that I had been sitting there for over an hour. Tried to make small talk and then left to take care of the 9am patient who had arrived by that time. Dr Ocampo then came back asking if my cracked tooth bothered me. After he saw the confusion on my face, he realized he was talking to the wrong patient. He proceeded with the cleaning which took a total of about 5 min for him to clean and polish my teeth. Moral of the story, go somewhere else. This provider just wastes your time and cashes in on your insurance for services he doesn’t really perform as they should be done. He was in a hurry after showing up over an hr late and just wanted me out to move on to the next patient. Never again.

I’ve been going here since high school, before I had braces 😁. Anyways service always has been excellent, everyone there are always friendly and attentive. Hygienist Sue was there for a long time and I loved her she was so sweet. Just met Laura and she’s great too so attentive as well. Always have a great experience. Got my cavities 🦷 covered perfectly by dr. Gregory the best. I’ve recommend it to coworkers and they’ve liked.

This is by far the #1 Dentist office in Santa Cruz county. I was blown away by amazing attention to detail and quality of care you receive here. I highly recommend Dr Ocampo and his crew for your dental needs.

Dr. Ocampo and his Team are the BEST!

I started going to Dr. Ocampo about a year and a half ago.

I am a real wimp in the dentist chair and I no longer fear the trip to the dentist!

Not only are the Dr. and Team extremely professional in their work and the technology used, but they are really nice people and make me feel as comfortable as one can be in the chair.

I also received a complete dental plan and had visibility to the work and expense recommended to perfect my mouth. Their prices are really reasonable too.

My teeth and gums are in the best shape in 25 years!

Thanks Doc!

The office is clean, but the scheduling and billing have been messed up several times. My wife has had two separate appointment to see the dentist for a regular checkup. He has not shown up for either of them, with no warning until she was in the office. I find it very inconsiderate considering most people take time off work to go in for things like regular cleanings. It seems like other reviewers have similar experiences with their scheduling. In regards to billing, they are currently trying to bill us for seeing the dentist the first time he canceled. The office is insisting that despite no service being rendered by the dentist, that we (rather our insurance) still owes them.

Finally, I gave them one last chance and I had the first appointment of the day. I arrived 5 minutes before the appointment and the office was locked. No one showed up to let me in until 15 past the hour. Then they had to spend another 15 minutes setting up. Seriously, if the first appointment is at 8am don't you think they'd show up prior to that to get the office ready? Makes me wonder how clean it really is. If you can't even show up on time for a patient can you be expected to competently perform medical duties as well?

My partner and I both had crowns placed by this dentist about 3 years ago. Last year, my partner's crown fell off and she had to have it reattached by our regular dentist in Canada. Our dentist mentioned that the reason the crown did not adhere well was that an inferior type of cement was used. He also said that O'campo would probably have reattached the crown gratis. We wrote to Ocampo and described what happened, asking his office to reimburse us for the Canadian dentist's costs. Later we phoned and spoke to the office manager, who became abusive and refused. We reported this to the Dental Board of California, but they said that they could not act because no crime was committed. Today, my crown fell off as well. I would never recommend this charlatan to my worst enemy.

My neighbor recommended Dr.Ocampo for my dental needs, i saw Dr. Ocampo only once and was reschedule 3 times in one month,and when i cancelled the office manager (ripped me a new one)treated me like a worthless no good person. I know i needed a lot of work. and i was willing to have the work done but offices like this don't deserve my business. as for the office manager she needs to get a class on customer service.

If I could give no stars I would! I have been bringing my cousin here a few times with little to no problems. Today was the worse experience. My cousin who is a lil 7 year old was treated so bad by this dentist. He kept telling her she didn't need to cry even though she felt all the fillings, he said she was acting like a baby. And said in a threatening way if he didn't finish today she would have to come back for more pain... I'm telling everyone not to come to this dentist cause if he is gonna be treating patients especially children so rudely there must be something wrong with him mentally!!!!
