With 25 reviews on Google and a 4.8 star average, DOWNEY FAMILY DENTAL has enough of a track record to read the patterns in what patients write. Most of the praise centers on friendly staff, and reviewers keep returning to a clean, modern office and gentle and painless care as well. These are not vague five star notes either, since patients describe real visits and name crowns and wisdom teeth removal in their comments.
Loyalty runs deep, with at least one reviewer who has been coming here for over 10 years. Reviews call out staff by name, and Hoang in particular collects the thanks. A recurring line is that the numbing worked and nothing hurt, including for self described dental cowards. When emergencies happened, patients report the office found a way to fit them in quickly. Comments mention modern equipment as well, including digital imaging. Put together, the picture is an office people return to and send their friends to.

I have been going to Dr Derick for over 10 years. He's very thorough and genuinely cares for his patients. He makes sure you understand what procedure he is performing and that you have an awesome experience. The staff is friendly and professional. The office is clean and welcoming. I highly recommend Downey Family Dental.
Phoebe could be the BEST hygienist to clean my teeth in 30 years! She is gentle, very thorough, and very encouraging. I've had gums issues my entire life but no longer! I am so glad that I have found this dental office. True pride of quality care and service from every person.
An excellent experience. All of the staff are super friendly. The dental work is second to none. State of the art equipment made the crown process so much faster, precise and painless. I highly recommend Dr. Derick, he’s a very talented dentist and as honest as they come!
