Wenicur Barbara L DDS

This was my first time at Dr. Wenicur’s office as I just moved back to New Mexico. Everything was fantastic!! The receptionist Tanya is incredibly helpful and pleasant. She makes you feel very welcome. Halie, my hygienist was gentle and kind, and Dr. Wenicur was great. Very happy I found them!

Boy I sure am glad I found Dr. Wenicur. I had a filling done yesterday, it took about 20 minutes, NO PAIN at all. If you have concern about going to the dentist, you MUST go see her. She does great work, tells you what is happening and NO PAIN.

These guys are honestly the best dentists office I’ve had since I was a little kid! Most of my adult life dentists feel like used cars sales men. Trying to get as much out of you as possible. Not these guys! Front desk is friendly, remembers who you are, and is always ready to help make things in a budget possible. Best prices I’ve found so far as well. Everyone has a sunny personality and I really can’t find anything bad to say about these guys!

TERRIBLE COMMUNICATION!!! Understaffed and over booked it seems. I just wish the dentist (don’t even want to speak her name) would have communicated with me about what needs to be done and not rely on her front desk help. They obviously don’t know what she knows and it would have been nice to know I was going in for FIVE fillings rather than the one I was expecting. Her attitude after I told her this was “we can split them up”. Why weren’t they split up in the beginning…? Oh cause I had already had to reschedule my braces appointment because I was told I didn’t need the filling (for the one tooth I asked about) before getting braces. BUT I DID. So they call me back to schedule again what I’m thinking is one filling when it’s FIVE, I rescheduled my braces appointment for a month out because this dentist has no openings until then…. Just really really bad communication. If I knew what to do/what’s wrong with my teeth I’d be a dentist. The dentist should explain and make sure I understand. I am paying after all! Oh and I had a past due balance I was totally unaware (they didn’t send me a bill or care to call to let me know) of until I told them I’m leaving and not coming back. I paid it. If you’re looking for a caring dentist who actually cares don’t go here.

I wanted to say that i love my Dentist. I find it hard to read any negative reviews for this office. My son is a patient of Dr. Wenicur and he loves her and the staff. My family have been coming here for many years, This includes my older children. I have had a crown with no problems and my family members have had fillings done with no problems. The Hygienists are wonderful and very gentle. I recommend this office to anyone who needs TLC.

Having had horrible experiences with a dentist who was a family friend while growing up, it takes a lot for me to trust a dentist. After my dentist that I'd changed to when I was grown retired, it took awhile for me to find Dr. Wenicur. When I did, I knew I was settled. She and her staff are very thorough in their exams, and they listen to and respond to my qualms about the dental process. I could not recommend Dr. Wenicur highly enough!

I have four family members who have been patients of Dr Wenicur, they all had problems with her work . Their fillings fell out or their crowns fell off. I don’t consider that good dentistry considering how much she charges you. My elderly mother wanted her remaining uppers removed , Dr Wenicur was fine with it as long as mom would agree to do dental implants. When she wanted a plate instead Dr Wenicur gave her one she knew would never work because mom didn’t go for the more expensive implants.

Dr. Winicur has been my dentist for about 3 years now. The reception staff there is superb. They are very professional and treat you personally. They have had the same reception staff there since I started going there, unlike other dentist's offices where the turnover seems to be constant. The hygenists are also first rate. Although they do have some turnover, it has been because they have left for advanced degrees or because they have had children. Regardless, every hygenist I have had has been very skilled and knowledgeable. I have very good teeth but some recession of gums. Unlike my previous dentist who was rather sleazy, she did not believe that further action was needed. Yes, I only see the dentist for a few minutes following the cleaning, but she explains things clearly and tells me what action may be needed in the future.

My new hygienist, Kyla, was great. Very gentle even though I was about 4 months behind on my cleaning due to COVID-19. Dr. Wenicur and her staff are all wonderful. I have had a lot of dental work done through the years and Dr. Wenicur is the best!

Dr. Wenicur and her office is the best dental experience I have had. I am a physician myself and I look up to the way she runs her office with efficiency and friendliness. I have to cancel at the last minute due to my schedule all the time and they are always understanding and fit me in at my convenience. Her staff (front desk, hygienists) are lovely to work with and they always remember me. I initially came to this office because I was grossly ripped off by another local dentist. The statement (from another review) that Dr. Wenicur sees patients "as a bag of money" is laughable and insulting. This is the family dentist you always wanted.
