I cannot recommend Dr. Van Kooten, Fay and the entire staff enough!!! I am visiting Monterey for the month and broke a large portion of my molar off. The remaining tooth had a razor sharp edge which was cutting my tongue. Fay and Dr. Van Kooten immediately coordinated an appointment to remedy my dental emergency. Dr. Van Kooten is kind, gentle and performed an amazing restoration on my tooth. I am so incredibly grateful to the entire office for a wonderful experience!
I recently switched dentist and with a friends recommendation ended up at Lighthouse family dentist. What a great experience, I'm so comfortable there and that's saying something for a dentist !! I like everyone there, The x-ray tech, Yara, Melvin, and Dr. Van Kooten know there stuff. Just like in the other reviews Dr. Van Kooten is gentle, confident and smart. Oh, and she called me the evening after my appointment just to see how I was doing. The team seems to like each other and the receptionist Fay is just a flat out jewel.
Mush, mush and carry on Lighthouse Family Dentistry !!
Dr VanKooten is gentle, mild mannered and never seems pushy for treatment. Melvin is a gem and my children love him...the whole staff is friendly and helpful. The building can be hard to get to during construction on Lighthouse, but that's minor.
I really like Dr. Van Hooten & your entire office staff. Dr. Van Hooten is so thorough & gentle. Thank You

The receptionist greeted me when I walked in she was so welcoming and friendly! The dental hygenist was very thorough and sweet! The dentist was very gentle and kind! she was very honest and gave me her professional opinion which I thought was great! I highly recommend this dentist office
Everyone at Lighthouse Family Dentistry is wonderful.
I have always hated going to the dentist...until now. I had to get 3 fillings and Dr. Van Kooten was very gentle. I am very impressed and satisfied!
Excellent care, easy to get appointment YOU want, great with kids, and a very friendly, warm office and staff!
Super nice, very knowledgeable and accommodating. Almost makes you want to go to the dentist ;-)
Faye at the front desk is delightful, and Sarah the hygienist is very pleasant. Her talent is apparent: She's fast, yet detail oriented. No wasted time. Dr. Van Kooten is always sporting a contagious smile, and you can often hear the laugh of the other assistants during the visit. I am happy to have found this dentist's office!
Very friendly & knowledgeable staff. Very welcoming & clean office.
Painless...the way I like it!! Fay is also very helpful with everything!!
I went in for a couple of fillings and everything was quick and painless. Dr. Van Kooten worked very well with her assistant to make sure I was comfortable and pain-free.
Very friendly staff. Faye on reception is wonderful.
I had a wonderful experience and had no problems at all.
As always, the staff were delightful and competent and Dr Van Kooten is absolutely wonderful. Patient, gentle and incredibly talented she is a great dentist and an artist. My teeth have never looked better. She takes the time to listen to your concerns and educates you as to the options available. She uses a lab that makes the most beautiful, natural appearing crowns and she is a master at matching the color to your natural teeth. I was distressed at the thought of having to have a crown for a front tooth but it is a perfect match and she fits it with such precision that it sits under the gum line and looks completely natural. I consider myself fortunate to have found Dr Van Kooten.......my crown is perfect! Lighthouse Family Dentistry is simply the best.
Dr. Van Kooten and her team are wonderful. I always feel so welcomed there. Plus, I love the view of the garden patio from the examination room. Just lovely!
I don't use novocaine for regular cavities, and over the years have noticed that the "best" dentists have a light touch and very little discomfort. Dr. Van Cooten is one of these dentists. Plus, even my periodontist has noticed and commented on the excellence of her work.
Excellent Care. Lighthouse Family Dentistry is the complete package. Every aspect of Dentistry is handled professionally and friendly. Appointments, billing and book keeping are done efficiently yet with an eye towards customer concerns and care. The Dentists are the best on the Peninsula. Regardless of the procedure - the Dentists, Assistants and Hygentists handle the patient with care. I am always happy with the finished product. The personal call / check up after the appointment from Dr. Van Cooten is a nice touch and appreciated. Highly Recommend Lighthouse Family Dentistry.
Lighthouse Family Dentistry has a very friendly staff. Dr. VanHooten is extremely gentle and meticulous. Her dental assistant is great!
Dr Van Cooten did a most incredible restoration on one of my large molars. Looks incredible - like a brand new tooth without a cavity. She is a most amazing dentist.
Most high tech dentist office I have experienced. Good friendly service. You know exact costs and what is covered by insurance and what is not.
A most positive experience...friendly staff...warm feelings...consideration for patient well being...very professional dental treatment...Dr van Kooten is an accomplished dentist and she performs in a most gentle manner..
My visit was wonderful! I was worried about getting a few cavities filled, but Dr. Van Kooten was very gentle, offered my nitris, and I could barely even feel the pokes and pinches! Thanks again!

friendly, caring and professional.
Front desk staff were welcoming, kind, and seemed glad I was there. I also had my toddler with me. Front desk staff did not make me feel that this was an inconvenience to them, and instead were especially kind to my daughter. Thank you for a thorough meeting with the dentist and very good teeth cleaning. Merry Christmas!
Nice front desk people to really make the visit pleasant.
Great experience. Will recommend them to my friends.
Add a skilled dentist and dental assistant with a cordial and intelligent front of the house staff and you have a perfect dental experience...
Excellent care, fast and efficient. My only question is why am I presented a bill when I leave? That does not seem like proper procedure. Send me a bill when my insurance notifies you of what they cover. P Tarantino
I really like Dr. Van Hooten & your entire office staff. Dr. Van Hooten is so thorough & gentle. Thank You
Wonderful staff. They keep appointment times better than any other office I've been too. I can't recommend LFD enough.
