What Patients Say About Dr. Olaes
Real stories from real patients who have experienced the Carmel Mountain Dentist difference.
“Dr. Olaes is gentle and very knowledgeable of dentistry. She was honest in telling me what I needed done and what could wait so that I didn't spend a ton of money all in one visit. She called me a day or two later to make sure everything was OK. I normally hate the dentist but heck, I'm not scared for my next cleaning!”
— Tina S.
“Scared of dentists in general, especially new dentists, I made several appointments and kept canceling. To my astonishment, I actually find myself looking forward to going to the dentist. Dr. Olaes and Staff are amazing—accommodating, conscientious, and pain-free! My co-worker said it best: 'You feel like you are going to visit friends...not the dentist.'”
— Ann R.
“On a Friday evening, I cracked my tooth all the way down to the bone. Dr. Olaes cheerfully took on my case, saw me on a Saturday, and despite the trauma to the tooth, she managed to save it. She is one of the most kind, caring, compassionate dentists I have seen in a long time.”
— G.M. S., U.S. Coast Guard (Retired)
