In Their Own Words...
The letters we receive from our patients touch our doctors and our staff deeply.
"The thing that struck me the most about Dr. Blende and his practice is the professionalism and the courtesy of the staff and their obvious desire to put you at much at ease as is possible. They will bend over backwards to make one comfortable and ease their fears and just be very, very sensitive to all the little things that patients who are terrified do. They are aware of them and really try to alleviate their fears and the obvious suffering that is going on."
"Dr. Blende and his staff worked with me and they did an outstanding job pulling everything together to go to the hospital, the general anesthesia, the follow-up, every single little detail was taken care of and Brooke, (my coordinator) did an outstanding job in coordinating everything… their patience with me is something I appreciate above all…"

"I saw some [ads from other dentists’ offices] that said that they specialize in sedation dentistry and all you needed to do was to take a pill before your appointment. I didn’t feel too good about that because what if it didn’t work or the dosage was too low for me?"
– Dan Baddo, Porterville, CA
"The first thing I noticed about the coordinator was her pleasant soothing voice and she really understood my fears…she knew it took a lot of energy for me just to make the call; it was just a calming conversation….after meeting the doctors, I was sure this was the right place for me. The office, the staff, everything felt right to me…even though I feel better about going to the dentist, I think I would still prefer to be sedated for dental work…You can get a lot of things done in one sitting and when you wait up, it’s all finished. Thank you all at the Blende Dental Group, they do a great job there and I’m happy with them and happy with my teeth."
– Dan Baddo, Porterville, CA
"Thank you for changing my life! Thanks to you and your staff I have a renewed confidence and a smile that I only dreamed about. When I came to your office I had a crippling fear of going to the dentist which led to 15 years of neglect. You and your staff have changed all of that with patience and a true understanding of my fear. I now feel I can maintain my new smile with regular visits to the dentist. "
– Reno Soverns, Vacaville, CA
"My five year old daughter needed dental work done ever since she was about two. She just has soft teeth and gets lots of cavities…she hates people in her mouth. In fact, most of the dentists I’ve taken her to don’t even clean her teeth just because it can be difficult and they just give up. .. My daughter has epilepsy so (the dentists we’ve seen) don’t feel comfortable doing work (on her)….I was finally referred to the Blende Dental Group and we had a wonderful, wonderful consultation. They were just lovely with her…and they made the whole process smooth…everything was well taken care of… her teeth look beautiful and she is very happy. It was a lovely and smooth experience and we are very grateful that we found the Blende Dental Group. "
