I have been using Dr. Cavallini for over 6 1/2 years and to date – he has guaranteed his work. I did have a problem with a root canal that Dr. Chen had repaired and now that moral has to come out.
Had pero work done by Prisma (other than extremely expensive) it held for a few year – but ended up with implants. Even though I like the doctor @ Prisma, the cost will make you run not walk away.
Yes – Dr. Cavallini has a hotel in the building – it’s the same or about the same price as the SL. If you’re not into the scene, then yes, I would consider – waiting is a pain and it will take up most of your time if you do the type of extensive work that I have performed each trip.
There is a little hotel next to the doc’ called Hotel Cacts…defiantly not into the scene – no air – sparse breakfast – nothing much on that side of town expect the Pizza place.
http://www.hotelcacts.com/I've used him for about the same amount of time; extensive work, implants, etc - still go when I'm in SJ for cleaning.
Plus 1000 on the work, the practice, and the waiting time
Also, don't even dream of bringing back "guests" should you stay at the hotel adjacent to the practice, but worth considering if you have extensive work prepared - you are also better waiting for the green season if you can, although every time I've gone, its been a wait, sometimes a long one - if you are considering him, its a good move, but read these 2 posts a few times
I highly recommend if you use Dr. Cavallini – Bring a good book and lots of patience’s because it is always crowded but worth the wait. Best to come first thing in the morning and sit right next to the front desk - that way your are not lost in the shuffle. Then after lunch i make sure I'm back @ 1:30 no later ... just realize the place is full of both locals and long term American patients
My only interact with 90210 is that I went on a national holiday and he was closed due to the lack of “my Planning and not his… YMMV
