"I have been going to Doctor Peabody for over 20 years.
He is an excellent dentist. I also have to say that the staff, especially Jeanette and Carol are the best. I love to be greeted with a smile and a laugh by them each time I come to the office. Dr. Peabody and the office staff have been a part of my life for 20+ years. They are like family. Quality care and caring hearts. Thanks."

"I was the girl in the room who never smiled, hide with a goofy face in pictures and had low self-esteem from having such bad teeth.
Dr. Peabody has given me a new outlook on my life.
I will forever be grateful for his professionalism, kindness and gentleness with all proceedures and I can't say enough wonderful things regarding his ENTIRE staff. Humor and kindness being my most important criteria, they're professionalism I have never experienced in 35 years of going to multiple dentist offices for multiple problems. NO EMBARESSMENT NEEDED! If you are in dire straits regarding your teeth like I was this is well worth the $ and time to have such a life changing experience as I have. There are no words for me to explain what a new and great feeling I have in my life because of my experience @ Dr. Peabody 's office.
Thanks again,
April Bernard (paitent for life!)"

"I had the best dental experience. The staff was caring and warm. I felt like they really cared about my needs and concerns. I would recommend Dr. Peabody's office to all my friends and family. Thanks again for making my dental visit such a pleasant experience. "

"I am a high fear patient. Just the thought of walking through the door of a dental office makes my skin crawl. After reading all the encouraging reviews on Dr. Peabody's website, I decided to pick up the phone and make the call. The receptionist had a very friendly tone and made me feel at ease right from the beginning. She was able to make me an appointment in a timely manner and made me feel comfortable and she asked me if I had any questions before hanging up the phone. When I came into the office the front desk girls introduced themselves and shook my hand. It made me feel I was cared for and welcome. The assistant did the same. She introduced herself and made me feel comfortable. Then Dr. Peabody came into the room. He was friendly,gentle,thorough and really listened. If you want excellent care then Dr.Peabody and his staff is the way to go. You will not be disappointed!"

"What a wonderful experience. From the time you make the first phone call into the office, you are put at ease. They even answer the phone with a smile.
Dr. Peabody and his attentive staff are unbievable. Dr. Peabody is painless and really does listen and care. I felt at home and was able to relax and receive quality dentistry. I recommend him and his staff to EVERYONE."

"I have been going to Doctor Peabody now for approximately 8 years. Previous to that, I hadn't gone to a dentist for 25 years due to fear. From the moment I walked in I felt at ease. They never condemned me or made me feel guilty because of the condition of my teeth. The first step was a deep cleaning and over the years relpacing old fillings along with my regular six month cleanings. Every experience has been exceptional and I have been very well cared for. I happen to have crooked teeth (which I kinda like) but have never been made to feel like I needed to have them straightened. I did purchase bleaching trays and I am always getting compliments on my teeth and my smile (I like to smile). When I have check ups and x-rays they let me know what needs to be done but never under pressure, always in own my timing. The staff is always very friendly and personable. If you are afraid of dentistry please don't hesitate any longer. After that initial visit you will be so glad that you finally took that first step toward a healthier lifestyle and a beautiful, confident smile."

"This is the best dental team I've ever had the fortune to meet in my life. I've been coming here for 5 years and I've never had a bad experience. They've not only kept up my dental health, but infinitely improved it teaching me how to properly care for my teeth. Carol, their amazing dental hygenist, in particular has gone out of her way to make sure I know how to floss properly, showing me the relationship between my technique and where I have plaque. Dr. Peabody was attentive to my grinding habits in a way that no other dentist ever identified and I know that their intervention has saved me thousands of dollars and lots of pain and suffering down the line. I'm enormously grateful these sweet souls. Highly recommended!! "

"I can actually make it through the appointments here at Dr. Peabody's office! The doctor and the staff all know that some people have a hard time going to the dentist and they make every effort to take the stress off and to make getting dental work as easy as possible."

"Having neglected my dental health for over 5 years due to Dentist fears I was pointed by a friend to Dr. Peabody's office. Probably the best consumer/client advice I've ever received. Dr. Peabody, Bryn, Tamara, Jet and Jen all try and make your time at the office as comfortable and stress free as possible. Everyone works with you from where you are without and shame, judgements or scoldings. Treatments were monitored closely for pain tolerance and comfort so I always felt I was in control. The work itself was first rate and my mouth, teeth and smile all feel better, noticed by many of my friends. By the time I was finished with my 4 or 5 visits I treated going to the dentist like going for a haircut...nothing to worry about. Best health care I've had in 25 years in Santa Cruz."

"I am chair gripping, panty wetting terrified of the dentist. I don’t have anything against dentists: it’s just what they do. You take the sound and smell of dental work, add pain and it isn’t something that endears most people to the profession.

I had some really horrendous things done in my mouth and I swore that I would have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into a dental office. I swore that I would have to be knocked out before anyone was EVER going to work in my mouth again. My vow lasted over ten years. Eventually, I couldn’t stand it any more. I couldn’t postpone it. I couldn’t procrastinate anymore. My teeth were falling apart.

That’s when I found Dr. Peabody. He promised to “knock me out” (my words, not his). I was given a “little white pill,” a white leather lounge chair, and covered with a warm white blanket. It was like being at a spa only with drugs. There was soft music playing...and then there was nothing. I remember nothing. I still can’t figure out how they kept my mouth open.

In one day I had ten years worth of dental work done. I was told that my jaw might be a little sore
(it wasn’t). The next day I got a call from Dr. Peabody; he just wanted to see how I was. I was fine. What doctor does that?

I must still have been drugged because I made an appointment to have my teeth cleaned. The nerves set in because I knew that I would get my “little white pill.”

What was I thinking? Anybody that comes near me with dental tools is in mortal danger. I tense up, hyperventilate and tend to lash out. Carol, the dental hygienist, was ready for me. She gave me gas. She could have cut off my leg and I wouldn’t have cared. There was no pain.

As we came to trust each other (we bonded over the gas mask for several years), Carol introduced me to the “magic gel.” The gel numbs everything. Now I get gelled instead of gassed and I’m not so loopy.

The last time I had my teeth cleaned I got a gold star. I told Carol she and Dr. Peabody had changed my life. So she asked me to write this.

So, if you are like me, don’t be a wimp. Make an appointment at my “dental spa.” You take the pill, get a warm blanket and get a new smile. What’s not to love? Ok, there is the bill….

"I am so appreciative of all the wonderful care and concern that Dr. Peabody and his staff have provided for me. Sedation dentistry is the way to go. I put off calling the dentist because of fear. Please do not let this happen to you. Dr. Peabody and his staff have made it so easy for me to keep my appointments. I use to feel ridiculed at other dentists because they were always criticizing my flossing skills and telling me to "just relax". Right... Obviously that wasn't working because I made every excuse to avoid going to the dentist. I no longer feel that way because the staff at Dr. Peabody's never say those silly, stupid cliches. They always kind and say nice things to me. They are professional, caring, courteous and they listen to everything I have to say. All my questions are answered and most importantly I am always treated with respect and dignity. When you choose Dr. Peabody please to do not be afraid to ask for help. Everyone is so pleasant, helpful and considerate. For me just imagining all the work that I had put off set me into a spin but once I chose sedation dentistry I realized that I was not going to remember---Guess what---I do not remember. Now because of Dr. Peabody's superior skills, knowledge and outstanding work I have a very healthy and happy smile. This can be accomplished in 2 or 3 visits and you will start to feel good about yourself. You will want to come back because of the way Dr. Peabody's staff treats you. They are wonderful. Dr. Peabody can help you with all the anxiety and I hope that you too will have a fabulous new dentist that you can count on.

"I recently had my first appointment with Dr. Peabody and it was the most positive dental experience that I have ever had. I had a tooth that neede to be pulled immediately and since I hadn't been to a dentist in a long time, I didn't know what I was going to do. My fear and embarrassment were short lived. Dr. Peabody is the most compassionate and patient dentist that I have ever known and his caring and friendly staff make you feel so welcome. Thank you Dr Peabody for not only being a fantastic dentist but also a wonderful person. Gratefully, Pat Lenson"

"All of my dental procedures at this office have been very good - provided with compassion, respect and professionalism. As a dental hygienist and dental hygiene educator I have the opportunity to see a lot of dentistry and am able to recognize quality care. Dr. Peabody's clinical skills and chairside manner rank among the BEST. He is gentle, patient and his attention to detail is remarkable. His hygienist, Carol, has cleaned my teeth for years and in my opinion is one of the very best hygienists I know, and I know many. I'm happy to be able to refer my friends and family to such a quality dental health care provider."

"My experience was a professional staff and caring doctor. I went in not knowing how much assistance I needed to repair some poor work done by previous destist's and have left with a beautiful smile made possible in a calm caring atmosphere. "

"Wonderful, very relaxing, took the time to hear my thoughts on my teeth. "

"I have spent many hours with Dr. Peabody and his staff and I loved every minute of it! Even when I had to go under, for getting new veneers.
What I truly enjoyed about being a patient at this office is that everybody seems to truly love their work and enjoys making you feel good at each step of the way. I am very grateful to have found all of you!
Thank you so much!
My smile is now great, and my entire mouth feels really healthy!
I will miss you from Italy!

"I was always hesitant and nervous about going to a dentist because I have a very hard time opening my mouth wide. But I discovered Dr. Peabody's office about 10 years ago, and he is so patient and gentle, and takes the time to explain and answer any questions. Carol, the hygenist, is a lot of fun and very thoroughal in her work.The receptionists are friendly and nice as well. If you have a fear of dentists, Dr. Peabody's office is the place to visit."

"Dr. Peabody and his staff are the most wonderful and empathetic dental team I have ever been to. I am completely dental phoebic. When I came to his office, I was immediately put at ease. Dr. Peabody was gentle, he talked me through every step of what he was going to do, and he gave me choices about what was needed. Not only did I return, I didn't dread each appointment. Having sedation dentistry has changed the way I look at my dental care. Even the cleanings are something I don't avoid now. Carol has made them most tolerable by numbing the gums. Why don't all offices do this? Anyway, if you are looking for an office that will treat you with the utmost care and respect, don't hesitate to call Dr. Peabody's office. You won't regret it!"

"Excellent! It's like we're visiting part of the family. The girls love coming in for their "tooth spa", with Carol; and saying hi to everyone. We love our teeth feeling "smoothy"and clean."

"My family has been coming to Dr. Peabody's office for many years. I can't say enough about him, his staff and the excellent care we receive every time we go! We will never change dental offices!"

"Dr. Peabody's treatment is painless, comfortable, neat, and artistic. I look forward to seeing him and his personable staff. There is no comparison with several previous dentists who were less considerate and less attuned to their patients pain level. Guy doesn't just work on teeth, he is aware of the total patient and how his artistry is effecting the total person. He asks questions about your well-being, and adjusts accordingly."

"Dr. Peabody just completed my veneers on my front 4 front teeth and they look stunning!! I have to admit, I was a little anxious due to the look & feel of the temporaries but the permanent veneers have exceeded my expectations and I am excited beyond words! I would recommend Dr. Peabody's work to anyone who would like to contact me to discuss or has any questions regarding veneers!"

"I can only imagine that you are many people's hero! Kind of like a dental priest with the gift of help and healing compassion! May the Maker of teeth be your source and strength as you serve and bless. We believe in you! Renee"

"I am the world's biggest baby when it comes to going to the dentist. Because of Dr. Peabody and his sedation procedure, I was able to get through major dental work. After almost 6 hours in the chair, all I remembered was asking him how things were going. I will be a patient for life. Many thanks to Dr. Peabody and his staff."

"Today I experienced a miracle. Dr. Peabody finished a three-step tooth reconstruction for me by inserting my crown. Since I had pretty well destroyed my original tooth, I am very grateful for Dr.Peabody's skills and his gentleness as a dentist. All of his staff has been so helpful and kind as well. I never knew going to the dentist could be so painless and hopeful. It has truly been a miraculous day!"

"I've been a patient of Dr. Peabody's since the beginning of his practice in Santa Cruz. The care is easy to take and quite painless. Though I've left the area, my wife and I continue to receive treatment there. It is well worth the drive and inconvenience to have dental care from a dentist we trust and a great staff. As long as we are in California, it is likely we will make our trips back to Santa Cruz to see Dr. Peabody and his cheerful and highly qualified assistants. The care and service is first rate!"
