I love this place! I've been going for years and recommend them all the time. People are friendly, but not obnoxiously so, and even though I'm only there two times a year, my hiegenist and dentist remember things about my personal life. And to top it all off, there is an espresso machine in the office and they'll give you an espresso while you wait. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true! Espresso Dental definitely makes going to the dentist a positive experience!

I've been a patient at Espresso Dental since before Dr. Manuel purchased the parcatice in 1996. She effectively transitioned my care, and I have had exceedingly good care since that time, despite a number of dental challenges. Connie has provided excellent stanadard and preventitive services, as well as the more involved work I have occaisionally needed, and has been immediately available on the few occaisions I have required emergency or after-hours care. Her staff are well-trained, friendly and professional. I've referred friends often.

I've been a patient of Dr. Manuel for over ten years and have had only good experiences thoughout a long saga of dental work (broke my front two teeth and ultimately ended up with implants). Connie and her staff are all highly professional and they're up on the latest technology and medical knowledge. Ignore the espresso machine in the corner and the plate of cookies, this is a top notch practice for either maintenance or major work.

I have been seeing them for about six years for dental. I really do like her. She is fast and gentle. She is very responsive and really takes care of you. Her staff is very professional and her office is comfortable and clean.

I've been going to Espresso dental since 1999. I've referred other friends and family over the years, and they have continued to receive dental care there as well. Connie Manuel is a great dentist and has always seemed prudent and accurate in her assessment of my future dental needs. I love that this is a small practice in a converted bungalow with semi-private treatment areas. Street parking is pretty easy. Everybody knows your name. It's been easy for me to get in for urgent appointments. The receptionist has worked diligently to make sure my insurance billing was all good, and has coordinated referrals and appointments for me with endontists and other specialists when needed. I've never felt like Connie or her team were trying to rush my appointments or pressure me to buy unecessary gimmicks or treatments.

I've been seeing Dr. Connie Manuel there for about four years now and recently took my daughter there also. In all that time I've received nothing but caring, compassionate, first-rate dental care. Dr. Manuel is easily the best dentist I've ever had - I love her! And her staff are uniformly warm and professional. I've never had any billing problems nor concerns that I'm being wrongly diagnosed and prescribed "unnecessary" treatments. (And, no, I've never had my teeth whitened.) Go see for yourself...

Dr. Manuel is part of the Espresso Dental Practice, a hip and fun dentists' office (and you probably didn't think there was such a thing). When you arrive, they offer you the hot beverage of your choice (thus the "espresso" part of the name). Dr. Manuel and her female colleagues firmly believe in providing dental services without pain, and they truly care about making sure their patients are comfortable. They have made me feel at ease when getting check-ups and fillings.

We've gone to Espresso Dental (Connie Manuel) for years -- I like Connie a lot.

I happen to be pretty fond of my dentist–what caffiene junky wouldn’t love a mild-mannered lady who operates out of an office called Espresso Dental at which one is offered coffee and cookies?

Dr. Manuel is skilled, kind and personable, works well with her staff, has high work quality standards, is up to date with technology, and good at keeping procedures as short, painless and stress-free as possible.
She never ignores or forgets her patient, says what she's doing and why; answers questions and allows patient breaks. Though offering full dental care, including cosmetic procedures, she has never pushed me to have any unnecessary work done. She has repaired damage by others; monitors my ongoing dental health, recommending and referring as appropriate. Moderately expensive, but Dr. M & front desk know my dental insurance and work to keep costs down, and get the best care for my needs within its limits whenever possible. I have extraordinarily sensitive teeth; historically required numbing for the simplest procedures. Never have I been made uncomfortable about my nervousness or pain threshold by Dr. M or her staff. Excellent referral to specialist for tooth extraction & implant. Dr. Manuel put in final crown. Amazingly, a positive experience. Patients leave checkups with bags of dental care products. It is clear that Dr. Manuel is committed to helping her patients gain and retain healthy mouths for a lifetime.
About Hygienist: Several different hygienists have worked on me over the years at Espresso Dental. All who have worked on me have been careful of my extreme tooth sensitivity, and never made me feel uncomfortable or that they were inconvenienced by it. All staff at Espresso Dental have been professional, skilled and thorough, never rushing, but getting each procedure done as quickly as feasible. Very polite and observant, informative with their observations and recommendations.

Dr. Manuel is easygoing, yet direct and to the point regarding my dental hygiene and what options I had for care. Obviously, I had to trust what she was doing in my mouth, but none of my restorations have since failed, and I appreciated the confidence with which she went about her work.

Connie has been my dentist since she bought the previous practice, Espresso Dental. She's gentle, professional, and runs a tight ship.
