Always a pleasure to have a visit for my teeth cleaning. Dr. Darnell's Hygeinist is professional, friendly and always puts her patients at ease with her competent efficiency. I've been a patient of Dr. Darnell's for decades now and I highly recommend his Dental practice for your oral heath needs.

I have been to many dentists in my lifetime and I must say this is the BEST! You are greeted upon entering, usually they are ready for you within minutes, everyone is extremely friendly and helpful, and most importantly accurate and precise dental treatment! Thank you, 😊

I was impressed with my first visit by the way I was greeted and taken care of. Your office was in nice order and the staff seemed very professional. I hope to get my teeth all cared for and any needed work done in the same manner

Best of the best! Very pleased with everything!

Feb 28, 2024

Everyone in the practice is very friendly, helpful and explains any issues they discover which is much appreciated. I do want to mention however that I did not feel that the person who “polished” my teeth after the Hygienist cleaned them did a very thorough job and I left feeling I received an incomplete cleaning. This was a first for me based on all of my past appointments.

Feb 21, 2024

Great staff and very knowledgeable and helpful and friendly.

Feb 13, 2024

I enjoy having my teeth clean by my hygienist, Sherri!! I missed her on my visit last August.

Feb 7, 2024

Staff is extremely down to earth, kind and relatable. Very prompt and thorough. Dr takes time with patient and answers & explains all questions. Highly recommend!!!!

The Staff at your office are all warm & welcoming. I appreciate that the hygienist told me step by step what she was doing. I love that all staff chatted and got to know me.

My dental hygienist was especially attentive and made a fluoride recommendation accordingly.

All your staff is very pleasant and professional. I am happy that I changed to get my dental services from Salinas to your beautiful office in Hollister. You all did an excellent job. Thank you so much!

Great dentist, great staff, excellent care!

May 2, 2023

Since moving from the Monterey Peninsula to Hollister, we didn't have to look very hard to find a great dental practice right here in town. One that would take care of all our dental needs. With a wonderful staff and, in a cheerful relaxing surrounding.

Apr 12, 2023

My Hygienist Cheri was Friendly, Thorough and very professional! Your front office staff are always welcoming and brings a smile to one's face. Thank you for all the years of fantastic service!

Mar 28, 2023

The moment I walked into the office I was cheerfully greeted. Each person I came in contact with was very friendly, thorough and knowledgeable about their job. I then met with Dr. Darnell once he reviewed my photos/x-rays and he was able to diagnose my issues.

Mar 24, 2023

This was a well organized, quick visit. I need a local dentist and I have had lots of experience in dental offices since I was a very young child. This office is run efficiently and I felt that I was in an extremely professional, competent atmosphere. Great visit!

Mar 15, 2023

Everyone is super nice, helpful, and does a great job!

All the office staff is always friendly.

Sep 7, 2022

My first visit to the office. To my delight the people were very friendly and helpful. The appointment went very well, better than anticipated. The doctor was very efficient and explained what was going on. Very good appointment, glad I chose Dr. Darnell and his staff.

Aug 9, 2022

I drive 2.5 hours to have my teeth taken care of from this office. It's worth it. I trust them.

Aug 2, 2022

Very good, missed not seeing the Doctor..

Jul 21, 2022

My first appointment for meeting the team, and I was dually impressed with their friendliness and knowledge. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Jul 14, 2022

I have been coming to have my teeth cleaned for a couple years here, as I have adult anxiety with teeth cleaning. I don’t like the feeling or the sounds. Childhood trauma I guess. I found Dr. Darnell and his team and it has been easier to come have my teeth cleaned. This past visit my usual hygienist was not there, but their “sub” as he called himself (Fred is his real name) totally understood me and did all he could to distract me and make me feel comfortable. I really appreciated that! And to boot, no cavities!!

Jun 29, 2022

The front office crew are amazing! The hygienist who cleaned my teeth was a true professional.

Jun 23, 2022

Great customer service fast and efficient we have been coming to Dr Darnell for years I love the office staff always so helpful with any questions I have.

Jun 22, 2022

I highly recommend Dr. Darnell for their excellent service and kind & friendly staff.

Jun 22, 2022

Very pleased with my cleaning. I felt at ease.

Jun 21, 2022

Dr. Darnell is the best and most honest dentist I have ever met!

Jun 15, 2022

Fred did a great job cleaning my teeth. He was very professional, polite, gentle, and thorough.

May 18, 2022

Great, great dds, chairside employees & office staff. Would never go anywhere else unless Dr Darnell moves to Europe! Even then, I still might follow him!!!

Apr 26, 2022

After learning that Alyssa would not be able to clean my teeth because of her maternity leave, I was happily greeted by Anna Lisa. She put all my unease to rest with her calming manner. She charmed me as she cleaned my teeth with her professional skill. When Dr Darnell examined me teeth, his quick efficiency assured me of my good dental health. Thanks for taking such great care of my teeth!

Apr 23, 2022

Always have friendly and caring staff and service. They do everything they can to make your appointment comfortable.

Apr 7, 2022

Would like to have a different technician as she stabbed in the lip. Also I floss and flush with water pic every day and she tried to get me on 4 month cleaning. I don’t need 4 month cleanings. This is 2 two times in a row she has tried to “sell” me this. I don’t need it!

Mar 4, 2022

Always receive exceptional care when visiting Dr. Darnell office.

I love the atmosphere in the office and the friendly employees. The dentist is great too. He explains everything to you so you know what's happening or going to happen. Virtually painless dentistry which has not been my experience in the past.

Oct 28, 2021

Alyssa is very good. She is professional, friendly and gentle.

Great team. Friendly and professional with little wait time. Techs and DDS explains everything they are doing in terms easy to understand.

Jul 30, 2021

Your staff was friendly, polite, and very professional, they answered all my questions, and treated me when I arrived. I’m happy that I am now being seen by Dr. Darnell and their staff.

Jul 27, 2021

Staff is always friendly and pleasant. They are straight forward and simply explain things so I understand that what work they are doing and why. I’ve had a lot of negative dental experiences, but it’s how they treat me that makes me feel good about coming back

Jul 16, 2021

Fantastic service and very Professional. Dr Darnell is one of the best.

Jul 8, 2021

Unbelievable! Dr Darnell, his staff and his office are cutting edge fantastic. The atmosphere, the equipment are amazing. Nothing like I’ve ever seen.

Jun 4, 2021

Explains things in detail and is very knowledgable. Great office staff and very friendly. Had a few subpar dental experiences throughout my life and this is by far the best place to go and now I actually enjoy going to the dentist again.

May 5, 2021

Alyssa expertly and efficiently cleaned my teeth on April 13. She accommodated my allergies by keeping my head slightly raised so I could breath easier during my cleaning. Since I was finished with my appointment in about 30 mins., I could begin my errands sooner. Thanks, Alyssa!

Apr 24, 2021

I have a lot of dental anxiety. The sounds and smells remind me of childhood and I dread going to get my teeth cleaned. The staff at Dr. Darnells office are kind and patient. They listened to my concerns and they paired me up with the best dental hygienist. Because of her ability to clean my teeth without me having an anxiety attack, I was able to sit for Dr. Darnell and have a good check up. I will not be going anywhere else.

Apr 21, 2021

Great Service and Professional atmosphere.

Office staff great. Dental staff seem to be overworked. Every station had 2 or more people moving in and out. Left feeling like the job was good but unsettled and disinterested professionals

Dec 1, 2020

I look forward to my appointments because of the competent, fun staff who always make me feel welcome and like an old friend!!! I like the interaction with Dr. Darnell and feel confidence in his care!

Nov 22, 2020

I literally just two minutes ago fired my long time dentist, I just couldn’t take his rude staff anymore. I walked into Mark Darnell DDS office and was immediately welcomed and spoken to with respect. Please keep in mind I didn’t have appointment I just was walking past their door I’m so thankful that I finally stood up to my old dentist and walked into Mark Darnell office

Nov 8, 2020

Somehow I missed an email explaining new procedures and significant investments in new equipment in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. But I've been going to this practice since 2001 and I trusted that Dr. Darnell and staff would be doing the right thing. During my routine cleaning appointment, I learned about team decisions that were made about revised protocols and investments in new equipment. I was told that it's such a new virus that the dental industry continues to research what measures are most effective. I feel we are fortunate that Dr. Darnell and his staff are tracking this closely to ensure their health, and ours.

Nov 6, 2020

Sheree was outstanding! Staff was nice.

Oct 21, 2020

Love the friendly staff and dental hygienist. And very professional all around

Always a pleasure, without all the pain ... Call me in six months and we can do it all again. The entire crew did all things right, and helped me to sleep all through the night !

Aug 26, 2020

Great dentist, thorough and quick.

Great dentist office!!! Everyone is really friendly and they make your visit smooth, explaining everything with detail they made me feel comfortable! I was a bit scared at first since it had been a while since I had gone to a dentist, but they made me feel like I been going there for a while. I am looking forward to go back and get work done!

Jul 23, 2020

We absolutely love coming to see Mark Darnell and his team! We’ve been seeing them since 2015 and wouldn’t want anyone else working on our family’s teeth!!

Jul 17, 2020

I struggle with anxiety at the dentist, but Dr. Darnell and his staff are always great and empathetic. I had work done on replacing a crown and it was done quickly and painlessly. I absolutely cannot say enough good things about Dr Darnell’s office. I am a longtime patient and wouldn’t see anyone else.

Jul 7, 2020

Love Doctor Darnell and I love his staff. His office was one of my best discoveries when I moved to Hollister twenty years ago and I have never wanted to change. Thank you!

Jul 2, 2020

Dr Darnell and staff are so compassionate and trusting during this time of world-wide change. Dr. Darnell is the kindest and gentlest dentist I have had the pleasure of helping me with my health and dental needs.

Mar 25, 2020

Great, great staff & the most fun you can have at a dentist office! Hygienist was great & Dr Darnell was on top of things, as usual. Would recommend this office to anyone!

Mar 10, 2020

Great service! Entire office staff very helpful and friendly!

Feb 19, 2020

As someone with generalized anxiety disorder and a history or oral health issues, I am relieved to have found this practice. I wrote my medical history and concerns in the comments section of the new patient form, and Dr. Darnell was reassuring and respectful of my personal needs. -- I highly recommend this practice. :)

Jan 31, 2020

I am so beyond grateful for Dr. Darnell and his staff. I have so much anxiety going to the dentist and I avoid the dentist at all cost! But every single time I go in the girls at the front desk are so nice and the dental assistants really make you feel at home. And Dr. Darnell always tells you his honest recommendations and he gives a detailed explanation that I can actually understand. And he is SO gentle and cares about your comfort during the visit! I am so thankful to be their patient!

Jan 29, 2020

Absolutely friendly staff. Goes out of of their way to make you comfortable. Let’s you know if you are going to be waiting at all. Dr Darnell himself is always friendly and seems to want what is truly in the patients best interest. Including cost. Makes my most unfavorite appointment not so bad. 5 stars!

Jan 21, 2020

Visiting my daughter in hollister and had some concern about a recent tooth extraction. Called and got a same day appt. Dr. Darnell and staff are great. If you are looking for a dentist in Hollister, I highly recommend dr Darnell.

Dec 3, 2019

From the frist time stepped foot in to your office, I was extremely scared. Didnt know that the stuff would be so warming, welcoming and understanding. I have had a fear of going to the dentist bc of my past experience. Now as I'm getting use to going to seeing dr and his staff, I feel so much better. Still nervous and shaky but the staff always has a smile, a joke or something that makes me feel more at ease. Thank you staff and dr for all that you do to make my experience a clam one.

Nov 19, 2019

Always professional and friendly staff.

Nov 10, 2019

Very happy to have found you!!! Don’t know why it is so hard to find a really good, competent, caring dentist, but my experience tells me it is. Anyway, love you guys!!!

Nov 5, 2019

Dr DARNELL and his entire staff are ROCKSTARS. From the alert messages for reminders and follow up to calmness and pain free. Total package

Nov 5, 2019

The office staff is amazing! Always accommodating my schedule so that I don't have to miss work. I always say that I have the best dentist in town.

Oct 31, 2019

I would rate my experience 5 stars and more if I could. I’m fairly recently a new patient who came to Dr. Darnell for regular care and also with a possible root canal issue. The office staff and dental professionals are all outstanding and make you feel like you are an old friend on your very first visit. Dr. Darnell is great and very accessible to answer any questions and to support you through procedures in his office and any for which he has referred you to others for those procedures he does not perform. I am recommending to all of my friends. It was great to find a local dentist I can trust because I was traveling to Prunedale and wanted to transfer to a dentist in the town I live. I made a great choice!!!

Oct 16, 2019

Everyone was very friendly and professional. I had an excellent experience!!

Oct 8, 2019

Alyssa was very good and thorough. Mark, Thanks for checking too

Oct 8, 2019

I moved to Hollister about 2 months ago. I had no idea where to go when I awoke at 2 am with severe pain in my tooth, ear, and jaw. After a restless night with little sleep I got on line and started searching for a top rated dentist in my area. After reading reviews of several recommended dentists, I chose Dr. Darnell. They were incredible! Got me in almost immediately, cared for me with compassion, and even the office staff came to check on me and see how I was doing. Dr. Darnell is the best dentist I have ever had. He is professional, but warm and caring. He gave me a numbing shot right away. Then explained the procedure and process! If there were a 10 star rating, that office, both Dr and staff would still get 12 stars!

I am SUPER nervous going to the dentist!! Dr. Darnell tried his hardest to make me feel at ease, but I think I just need something for the anxiety - nothing against him or his staff.

Jul 27, 2018

I’ve had so many problems with my teeth and my overall oral health due to a chronic condition that I have. I’ve been to many dentists in search of the right one. Since I’ve gone to Dr Darnell, he’s helped me and fixed some of the problems that I’ve been having with my teeth. He’s taken the time to sit, listen and come up with a plan to help me manage my symptoms and oral health. I would highly recommend Dr Darnell to anyone looking for a dentist.

Jul 21, 2018

Having been a patient at the practice for close to 20 years, I do continue to appreciate the courteous and professional staff. Front Lobby and Office is always tidy and aesthetically pleasing. The appointment text and email reminders help our family keep on track with appointments. I was lucky enough to have the same wonderful hygienist, Jennifer for most of my bi-yearly appointments, and although she recently retired, the new addition, Alyssa was as pleasant and provided the same wonderful care.

Jul 18, 2018

As usual, the visit was painless and the staff was spot on wonderful. First time for cleaning with the dental hygienist Fred. He is very likable .... All in all TOP RATED !!

Jun 6, 2018

Love coming to this office! Always friendly and on task! Very clean and inviting!

Apr 10, 2018

I can't say enough great things about Dr Darnell and his staff. From the time you walk in to the time you're having a root canal, you'll feel like you're in the right place. I had grown up disliking the dentist. I never had terrible experiences I just didn't like it. Now that I have had a fresh start at such a great place I no longer mind going at all. I even look forward to it! Getting a nice cleaning or cavities filled, I always feel like I've had the best care from everyone there.

The staff at Mark Darnell's office are all wonderful and a pleasure to be around. I used to have moderate anxiety when having any dental work done due to unpleasant experiences in my past. Since working with Darnell, all my anxiety is gone as he is an excellent dentist. I especially like the way they have acclimated my young children to the dental process. The staff are kind, gentle and very patient with kids and help avoid any unnecessary anxiety from the beginning. My son is 6 and loves going to the dentist.

Even after a root canal I've left there feeling great because the whole place is full of positivity!

Nov 3, 2016

Dr. Darnell and his staff are professional and friendly. I have always feared going to the dentist growing up because of dentists who cared little about their patients fears of sitting in a chair while being prodded and poked and medicated. Dr. Darnell is a dentist that I have trusted over the years while being prodded and poked but without the fear of the unknown as his dental patient.

Nov 2, 2016

Dr Darnell was so good to my kids.

For me it is early to say, I have only seen the Doc once, he was very therough in the taking x-rays and explanation of what he was doing, I have lots of work that needs to be done....so ask me again at a later date. Also Beth was excellent. I have never had such a good cleaning as she gave. She also noticed something on the inside of my cheek that no one else has ever noticed. Looking forward to a long relationship. Maria Claus

This was one of the best experiences I have ever had at a dentist office. They made me comfortable from the moment I arrived and as enjoyable as dentist office visits can be, it was. The staff are very nice, the appointment was on time, it was over before I knew it and it the most painless experience I have ever had. I'm very glad to have found a good dentist.

All the girls were great! They were very helpful in keeping my 1 year old entertained while I got my X-rays done! Offering to even hold her as she slept!

Feb 21, 2016

Office staff n team are excellent...Beth was awesome n so was the young lady that did my x-rays...forgive me for forgetting her name i was nervous...

Feb 18, 2016

Staff were friendly and helpful. when I informed the Dental Tech that an x-ray was not necessary because I had a print with me. She accepted what I provided.

Feb 12, 2016

Our visit was outstanding.

Our visit was outstanding.

Feb 12, 2016

I was hesitant to go to my appointment because I knew I neede a lot of work so my stress level was extremely elevated thinking about all the work and cost. After talking with the Dr. I felt better about my situation. The staff made me feel comfortable and welcomed. The staff was warm with their greeting and genuinely concerned with my oral plan. I would recommend Dr. Darnell in a heart beat and have already spoken of my experience to others

Dec 23, 2015

Everyone was really friendly and I had a great experience.

Dec 4, 2015

Everyone was very helpful. I was impressed with all the office staff.

Oct 21, 2015

Always a great experience, and I would refer anyone to Dr. Darnell in a heartbeat.

Oct 21, 2015

The staff was amazing and friendly, the dentist explained treatment and was gentle made sure I was comfortable even offered a blanket if I got cold! Also he called later that evening to make sure I was feeling OK and not in any pain, he provided his cell phone number to call incase I had any more questions. I was very appreciative for all they they did. Thank you.

Sep 2, 2015

The staff is always so welcoming and helpful, it makes me actually want to get my teeth cleaned!

Aug 12, 2015

I am terrified of dentists (yes, even at my age) due to some horrid experiences as a child and young adult. Even though my stomach gets tied in knots just thinking of going to any dentist, I have never had a bad experience here. My only regret is that I didn't have this great dentist, his hygienists, and his super office staff first!

Jun 25, 2015

Everything is great the way it is!

Jun 19, 2015

Jennifer and the staff always make my visit most pleasant.

Jun 10, 2015

Jennifer's the best! She is a benefit and asset to your business. May she be truly valued as an integral member of your staff.

Jun 3, 2015

You know I like you guys!

May 22, 2015

The whole staff was so friendly! After not visiting a dentist office in many years, "Vi" made me feel very comfortable and at ease! I appreciated the cleanliness and organized office! Dr. Darnell was the best! Thanks for my experience and yup, I'll be back!

May 14, 2015

Jennifer was outstsnding! Thorough, gentle, kind and efficient. I have always had a fear of dental procedures, even cleaning, and because of her I have been a patient for many years. She is a true asset to the team. My visits have been pleasant, always greeted and treated with respect by all the staff. Thank you!

May 14, 2015

Jennifer was great, as usual.

May 12, 2015

Service was excellent, can't think of anything that would make my visit more comfortable.

May 7, 2015

I have always felt welcome in Dr Darnell's office. Thank you to the entire staff for excellent customer service!

The two caps that need to be replaced started out with a gold cap done several years ago and a cap next to it done by you. The gap between the gold cap and your cap was so big that large pieces of meat and vegetables need to be flossed out each night. It is this same gap that decay set in at the base of both caps and now they both need to be replaced. A $2,000 procedure needs to be done because of a large gap between two teeth. This seams like it could have been avoided to me.

Apr 23, 2015

You do a very professional and yet personally sensitive service in a beautiful clean environment. All the ladies are wonderful, compassionate and kind and Dr. Darnel is fabulous...first dentist who hasn't "hurt" me during a visit. I love the e-mail reminders for visits. Experience does make a difference...thank you all for your care.

Apr 23, 2015

I refer your office to everyone! Love your staff :)

Apr 22, 2015

Very knowledgeable, professional and gentle.

Apr 21, 2015

The entire staff is professional and friendly! The only thing I would suggest is to play a little milder music for the patients. I find upbeat music makes me tense so I like to hear calming music when I'm at the dentist but that's just my preference! I love this establiahment!

Apr 17, 2015

My hygienist Jennifer F. is awesome and one of the main reasons I keep coming back :) Also the flexibility to have early morning appointments works well with my work schedule. I do wish that Dr. Darnell would consider becoming a preferred provider with my Dental Insurance, Pacific Health Alliance(County of Monterey)....more of my dental work would be covered under insurance. :)

Apr 16, 2015

Every visit is simply wonderful, the staff is amazing.Thank you Dr. Darnell and staff, you all are like family♡

Apr 11, 2015

Jennifer is great. She explains everything as we move through the appointment.

Apr 1, 2015

First rate service your entire staff is outstanding. They are always very pleasant and very professional and the dental work awesome. I would like to say "its a pleasure going to your office" but because its a dentist office somehow that dose not sound right. Just kidding!

Apr 1, 2015

Vianette is so friendly love her and all the staff is so kind!

Apr 1, 2015

Jennifer was great. Great atmosphere, everyone is always happy!!!

Mar 26, 2015

I am fairly new to Hollister and my husband introduced me to Dr. Darnelk. I am very impressed with Dr. Darnell and his staff. The ladies at the front treated me as though they had know me for years as did Dr. Darnell and Vianeeta. I am terrified of dentists and was given amazing care to help with my fear.i will be referring all of my friends to this office. Thank you for the care you have given me.

Mar 20, 2015

Everyone who works in this office is awesome!

Mar 19, 2015

Jennifer always provides me with such great service. Thank you.

Mar 19, 2015

We are very happy to come to your office, the hygienists are very nice and always explain the girls what they need to do to brush better and Dr. Darnell is very pleasant as well.

Mar 19, 2015

I appreciate the professionalism exhibited by the entire team. I called the office early morning without having a scheduled appointment and when I explained my issue, I appreciated the concern by the person I spoke to, who immediately spoke with Dr. Darnell and then made a point to get me in so that he could assess the problem. I came into the office and was greeted with genuine care. I felt badly that at my own fault I had not kept regular visits with a dentist due to bad experiences outside of Dr. Darnell and his staff. Given my current experience, I know that I am in the best of care beginning with the front office. Thank you Dr. Darnell and Team, for caring about me and all your patients!

Mar 17, 2015

Your office has turned me around on going to the dentist. Thank you for your patience, understanding and care. I am always referring people to you.

Mar 11, 2015

Dr. Darnell is always attentive and knowledgeable. I especially like that he takes the time to explain any x ray findings, causes and symptoms. Jennifer is simply the best dental hygienist because of her gentle touch and informative nature. I highly recommend your Dental office anytime I get the opportunity.

Mar 4, 2015

Have always received excellent treatment from staff and Doctor. Definitely practice deserves 5 stars!

Feb 26, 2015

It is always a pleasure seeing Jennifer, who does an excellent job cleaning my teeth.

Feb 24, 2015

Jennifer always does a great job and makes me feel very comfortable. She is terrific, as is Dr. Darnell's entire staff.

Feb 21, 2015

V was great at explaining procedure as well as doctor. Great staff and always make each visit a smooth one.

Feb 19, 2015

My only complaint was that no one called me after my last visit to see how I was doing and schedule the remaining appt. to finish the cleaning. Everything else was great

Feb 19, 2015

The staff always is concerned with my distaste for the "dentist". I appreciate their gallant effort to make my visits short sweet and to the point. I would enjoy spending more time with them if they were just not the " dentist"! 😝

Feb 18, 2015

Your dental hygienist explained everything to me. I mainly changed dentist because of my dental insurance and checked to see where Jennifer was employed. I'm friends with her Mom.

Feb 16, 2015

everyone is great, considerate & friendly. not necessary to change a thing, in my opinion.

Feb 15, 2015

I have always liked the staff. They are always very friendly and fun to talk to. I have no suggestions for improvements. Everything is fine as is.

Feb 13, 2015

Excellent service!!!! Doctor Darnell is the best!!

Feb 13, 2015

Jennifer is an amazing hygienist! Your staff have always been great.
