Patient Testimonials

"Dr. Yana is far and above THE MOST PAIN FREE AND CONSCIENTIOUS DENTIST I'VE EVER BEEN TO. I am 55, M, former smoker. Several dentists in the last 3 years had refused to fill a cavity on a molar. Dr. Pekarski offered to fix that cavity. She said it's getting too close to the nerve, and she could fill it before it required a root canal. I was literally stunned with joy. I've never felt joy at the dentist before. Her numbing technique was expert — gel before needle and the softest touch. I didn't even know when she was done pulling the tooth. She's that good. You're changing lives, and I'm really proud to have been a recipient of your professional service."

"If I could give 100 Stars I WOULD! I've never once had an experience so incredible at a dental office that would inspire me to write a review! Upon walking in I was taken back by the energy, the decor, the Hawaiian vibe! I was led back to a room so cozy and clean — hygienic and chic! I came in to have silver fillings removed. They take the PROPER safety precautions that EVERY OTHER dentist should take when removing harmful mercury fillings. I felt safe in their hands. I can't say that for anyone else I've been treated by. My treatment was thorough, excellent and such a high standard! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Yana & this office to anyone!!!"

"If I could I would give Dr. Pekarski 10 stars. She is the most caring and compassionate dentist I have ever met. I was headed for a root canal and had a lot of cavities when I first started seeing Dr. Pekarski. She and her amazing team were able to save me from having to get a root canal and help turn my cavities around. Dr. Pekarski has completely turned my oral health around. I used to be afraid of going to the dentist, but now I look forward to my appointments. She has made me a believer in holistic dental care as I have no pain in my mouth anymore whatsoever."

"Dr. Yana Pekarski is hands down the best. After much research I decided to take a holistic approach to my oral health. Dr. Yana is truly an amazing doctor — always very kind and friendly. She explains everything very thoroughly which makes you feel at ease. She has such a warm and gentle approach and her priority is always the needs of her patients. I love the transparency, how caring she is and how I never feel rushed. We will continue to drive 2+ hours, it's totally worth it. I would recommend Dr. Yana Pekarski and her team 100%."

"If you're looking for a holistic approach to dentistry with a dentist who really wants to help and listens, look no further than Dr. Yana Pekarski. I have not yet had someone who truly listens and tries to get to the root cause of the problems. I've had a root canal infected tooth extracted and the experience was wonderful — no pain, and healing was even quicker. Her services are far more affordable compared to the last bio dentist I went to. My whole family will be coming to her for dental needs."

"Let me start off by saying that I avoid going to the dentist. Yana is respectful, approachable, warm, kind, personal — a dentist that takes her job seriously not to reap the financial benefits but to make her patients' lives better. She truly cares about the dental needs of those that trust her. Her tools are top of the line and she makes sure that you feel comfortable during every step of the process. Make an appointment today — you will feel seen and your needs heard."

"I had an exposed root on my tooth, I was in extreme pain, and they got me in on a Sunday. They were kind, caring and honestly the most pleasant experience I have ever had at the dentist. I hate needles and never felt any of the shots. After the extraction I was sent home with gauze and a cleaning tool. Yana did a follow-up call two days later to make sure everything was okay. I've never had that before. I'm so grateful they gave up part of their Sunday to help. They're wonderful."

"Had an amazing experience with Sacramento Holistic Dentist! From start to finish, gentle and pain-free — got an implant. Incredibly patient, attentive, and truly care about your comfort and health. Best dental office — you feel that they care, thank you!!"

"Dr. Yana Pekarski and staff are truly amazing. The doctor took the time to build a relationship and help my young daughter (2) feel comfortable. At the end of our session she walked me through potential treatment plans and offered holistic remedies. The practice also believes in being transparent with pricing — such a breath of fresh air. Pekarski's knowledge and ability to break down information was extremely helpful. She answered all my questions and was transparent and supportive. Thank you!"

"Finding a great Dentist who is caring, an amazing clinician, ethical and professional can be difficult. After finding Dr. Yana Pekarski we don't have to look any further. My husband is in the dental field and we were looking for a dentist who is more naturally minded and uses non-toxic materials. She is the perfect balance of it all. She has phenomenal bedside manner and truly cares for her patients. Her work is stellar and will last a long time. We can't rave about her enough!"

"This is the best dental office we've ever experienced. The staff are all amazing, but Dr. Pekarski is a literal ANGEL! I have a particularly difficult child when it comes to dental care, and she is SO patient and kind with him. She also does an amazing job of keeping him calm during some of the not-so-fun dental work. I cannot recommend this dentist enough! We will never go anywhere else!"

"After being told I needed all four of my wisdom teeth removed, I wanted a second opinion. Not only did she recommend keeping all my wisdom teeth, she informed me that they were perfectly good teeth and not rotten with cavities as I was previously told. It can be hard to find honesty in the dental field, and I really feel confident I've found it here. She was also so nice and willing to answer any questions I had, and gave me one of the most thorough tooth cleanings I've had in a while."

"I am so blessed to have found Dr. Pekarski! She is sweet, kind and exudes true care for her patients. I was nervous about my cleaning, but was so impressed at how gentle she was. You can tell she takes pride in her work and her bedside manner is amazing and genuine. I am very happy to have her as my dentist & recommend her if you're looking for a phenomenal dentist!"

"After other dentists insisted that I needed a crown & root canal, I researched the health effects on my own and decided to opt for a holistic approach. Dr. Yana was able to save my tooth — she was very gentle and explained the whole process. She minimized any exposure to toxins and was very sanitary. It was evident that she prioritizes the health of her patients. She is transparent in her pricing and looks for ways to accommodate your schedule."

"The best dental visit I've had in years, if not ever. Yana is incredibly gentle while being thorough. I didn't feel rushed and had more time than I expected with her personally. She addressed my concerns and didn't push any unnecessary treatments. In fact, she agreed that some things weren't necessary, which is a welcome change from the typical medical office."

"I absolutely cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for Dr. Pekarski and her wonderful team. I had the honor of experiencing true compassion, empathy, and understanding from her when most other dentists have brushed off my concerns in the past. She was able to help me with a complicated problem that I had been seeking assistance with for three years. I truly appreciate her and everyone at this office."

"Yana saved our vacation by taking us on a Sunday morning! Not only did she help cure acute tooth pain, but she also assessed the overall situation and gave some very valuable advice. No previous doctors were as helpful and thorough as Yana. She analyzed our CT scans in detail and answered all of our questions that other doctors could not. Driving from the Bay Area is worth it. Extremely highly recommended."

"Dr. Pekarski is Kind, Thorough, Honest, and truly cares! After a year of nightmare dental problems with several different dentists — infection, botched root canals, pain and worsening dental issues — finding Dr. Pekarski literally saved me. I usually don't trust medical or dental professionals, but I would trust her with my life! ❤️"

"Loved every moment of this dental office — Dr. Yana was very thorough and thoughtful with me and my children (5 & 2 years old). She is the first dentist we are actually able to trust because she is so honest! Such a pleasure visiting, for many years now!"

"An absolute amazing visit!!! She is so friendly and wonderful with children. We feel lucky she had availability for new patients. We were driving to Berkeley to another holistic dentist — we just saved 4 hours in driving and she is very current on what is and is not healthy dental practice. A great place to get your old amalgam fillings out if you still have them. They have the right equipment to do the procedure correctly and safely."

"Dr. Pekarski is knowledgeable, patient, caring and a perfectionist when it comes to teeth. I have had so many bad experiences at dentists that left me with so much anxiety. Dr. Pekarski answers all my questions and leaves me at ease during the visit because she is gentle while working on my teeth."

"Doctor Yana is amazing. I feel so much more confident after she fixed my dental issues. She is honest and straightforward. I highly recommend her!"

"Dr. Pekarski is an answer to my prayers of finding a caring dentist for my family. I truly have never met anyone so kind, gentle and helpful! My 5 year old son even says that he wishes to get a cavity so he can come and see Dr. Yana again! God bless Dr. Yana for her heart towards her patients. 1000 stars ⭐️"

"Satisfied with the services, as the dentist is knowledgeable and will provide alternative recommendations. We don't use generic toothpaste brands, and she was able to confirm what we use is a good choice. They were also able to schedule and see my daughter the day of after I thought she had an infection. Respectful and welcoming atmosphere. We drove quite a way to see Yana."

"Came in for an emergency appointment when the dentist from my insurance told me I needed to wait a month or go to the ER. Dr. Yana was able to fit me in the same day and solved my problem. Professional staff, a caring doctor, and a really clean and accommodating office. Without a doubt better than any 'regular' dentist I've been to. I won't be going anywhere else from now."

"First time patients — my daughter said first time she's ever not felt the numbing needle be painful, only numbed the area being worked on, not half her face like most dentists. She was totally impressed with her work — you cannot even tell where she worked on the tooth, it looks like a perfect tooth! So so thankful to find her! The whole staff is very kind!"

"Yana is extremely thorough and knowledgeable. I've never encountered a dentist who explained so much about dental health and the chemistry of tooth decay and prevention, even the latest research. This is the first appointment I've had where I wasn't numb or in pain afterwards, even though she ensured each and every tooth was clean as possible."

"Working with Dr. Pekarski is always a great experience! I've been coming to her for over 10 years and I can say that she truly cares about her patients — she will advise you of the work that needs to be done, and not a thing more. She is truly the BEST Dentist!"

"Dr. Pekarski is by far the best dentist. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, gentle and genuine. She repaired a tooth for me that 3 other dentists said would have to be extracted. I am so thankful that I found her."

"This is the first clinic I know of that offers cleaning using the Air-Flow method. Oksana is a wonderful hygienist with truly golden hands. She asked several times if anything was causing me discomfort and paid special attention to the teeth that felt rough to me. I have never received such a thorough cleaning at any other clinic. I will definitely come back here again!"

"I had a really great experience at this dental clinic. They took X-rays, did a cleaning, and also took care of a few fillings — everything was done carefully and efficiently. The staff was friendly, Dr. Yana explained everything clearly, and I felt comfortable the whole time. The cleaning was gentle but thorough, and the fillings were done very well — no pain and everything feels great now."

"I thank Dr. Yana from the bottom of my heart for her sensitive service and her magical hands in restoring my tooth that fell out on Saturday. She miraculously restored it to its place on Sunday, which she dedicated to me. She made everything better than before. Thank you very much."

"Traveled for two hours to see her and it was 110% worth it! Saved my tooth! Found her after my local dentist messed up a filling which started causing complications. Dr. Pekarski fixed it with care and expertise."

"Dr. Cook and Dr. Pekarski are the best! They both have a very gentle touch and explain everything they are doing to you. They care about if you are in pain or discomfort. All the staff are amazing too. I was there for several visits and received excellent care each time."

"Absolutely incredible place with a thorough and holistic approach. They were all so attentive and kind. I highly recommend them."

"An easy 5 star for the service. Had my chipped tooth filling fall out and sent an email at 1am. As a new patient they were quick to respond back and took me in the day of. They did the filling so well you can't even tell it is a filling. Thanks for saving me, I appreciate it."

"The best dental experience I have ever had! I live in San Francisco, but it is worth every mile of the drive. Dr. Yana and her office are incredible."

"My family and I had a wonderful experience with Yana. She's great with our 5 year old who had some cavities. We really appreciate the education and natural approach. Thank you — we were really in need of good dental care."

"Dr. Pekarski was very thoughtful and provided some really practical dental strategies for my daughter's sensitive gums. She also seems very trustworthy and dedicated to this profession. The office was peaceful."
