I’ve been taking my two young sons to Dr. Cat and the Tooth (Dr. Catherine Guerrero) for their routine dental visits for the past couple of years. On December 11, 2024, we went in for their regular bi-annual check-ups, assuming—as usual—that our Delta Dental insurance was accepted. It had been confirmed at the time of booking, and nothing was said otherwise when we checked in.
After the appointment, I was suddenly told that because we had Delta Dental, I needed to pay out-of-pocket and seek reimbursement myself. Dr. Guerrero claimed it was simply due to “how difficult Delta Dental had become” and that we'd be fully reimbursed. There was absolutely no mention that the practice had dropped Delta Dental and was now out-of-network as of late November.
Months later, after not receiving a reimbursement, I contacted Delta Dental and found out the practice had officially ended its in-network relationship before our appointment. Because of that, we were only reimbursed a small fraction of the cost—and were left paying over $300 for what amounted to quick visits for very young children.
I called the office to get clarity and was told we had been informed (we absolutely were not). I asked to speak with Dr. Guerrero directly and was refused. Instead, I received a dismissive email explaining how “financial times are tough.”
As a parent, I feel completely misled. If we had been told the practice was no longer in-network, we would have gone elsewhere—especially since many providers in the area still accept Delta Dental. This kind of lack of transparency feels intentionally deceptive, and I’m sharing this so other families aren’t caught off guard like we were.
Very disappointed in Dr. Cat.

My son has been through so much since age 4 with dentists cleanings. So he’s traumatized but I found Dr. Cat and it changed the whole world for my son. He had a procedure done today and I was so happy to see my son coming out happy of course it did hurt a little but he was happy. De. Cat it’s just amazing in what she does and you can feel it .

I'm so glad I found Dr. Cat. I love this office, and my kids, despite their terrible teeth, love going to the dentist. Dr. Cat takes the time to really explain the best plan for my kids' dental issues. She'll never offer unnecessary treatments and really has her patients' best interest in mind. She's gentle and patient... plus, she has popsicles, toys and stickers! What more can a person ask for in a dentist for their kids?

Finally we found the right dentist. It’s has been a great experience for my daughter. For the first time ever she was calm during a dental procedure. She didn’t complain about the needle or pain during the treatment. (Actually she wasn’t even aware she received a few shots). We are very please and sure would recommend Dr. Cat.
Thank you Dr cat and team for running such a wonderful clinic.

Always a great experience coming to Dr Cat. My son had a molar come through that caused a gum flap and pain. I Left a VM after hours, Dr Cat called us right back and saw us the next morning. My kids absolutely love her and so do we!

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Cat and her staff. Her priority is your child, and she makes sure mom and dad are feeling okay too. I wish we had found her sooner, but am so grateful to have her now!
