Sample Review: I
started seeing Dr. Fremont about 1 year ago when I was experiencing pain from a
cracked tooth and have been a happy patient ever since. As a trial attorney, my
smile is an important part of my professional presentation.
Dr. Fremont and his staff displayed a genuine
care for the discomfort I was experiencing and diligently attacked the problem.
Within a couple of follow up appointments the pain was gone and I was again
chewing normally. The procedure was so effective both dentally and cosmetically
that looking in the mirror now I can scarcely recall which tooth it was. While
his dental services are exceptional, where
Dr. Fremont really excels is in the
selection of his staff. Every member of the team from the receptionist to the
hygienist to the dental assistants to the billing department are warm, caring
professionals with beautiful smiles. The text message reminders about
appointments are a friendly reminder for someone with a busy schedule. Finally,
I would be remiss if I did not mention that the patient chairs are configured
for viewing DVDs during procedures. While the distraction is wonderful and the
appointments are over before you know it, the really great part is that they
actually mark in your chart what scene you left off on! (Indiana Jones just
found the Crystal Skull but had to hand it over to the Russians...) Very nice
touch Dr. Fremont!
I would recommend Fremont Dental Arts to
anyone who has ever dreaded going to the dentist. My time as a patient there
has been great experience!
2. Strober Dental in Downtown San Diego, California
(619) 299-5925
Sample Review: I had a recent
dental emergency...a front crown fell off....late on a Friday night. Saturday
morning I called Dr Strober and he came in, did a root canal and replaced the
crown. He went above and beyond the call of duty. He is a terrific dentist and
a great human being. I highly recommend him.
3. Bella Vita Dental Carlsbad
(760) 720-9510
Sample Review: Dr.
Mananquil has great hands and a great heart. His staff are top notch. They are
efficient with scheduling and everyone is super, super nice. I cannot say
enough wonderful things about the Dr. and his staff. My wife says, "you
don't feel like you're going to the dentist, you feel like you are going to the
SPA!" Even since we moved to Rancho Santa Fe, we still make time to go
him. I think that says it all!. We are very happy with Bella Vita as our family
dentist

La Mesa Dental Group
7872 La Mesa Blvd La Mesa, CA

(619) 464-1211
Sample Review: Thank Jesus, I
finally found a legit dentist. I have lived in San Diego for 12 years now
and have had a horrible time finding a quality dentist. I have been
through about 5 of them in that time and they either totally SUCKED at their
job or were complete crooks.
I have horrible teeth. Beautiful but horrible. I am prone to
cavities that quickly lead to root canals and I have severe anxiety about the
dentist bc like I said, I have had some that sucked bad. I finally broke
down due to knowing I needed another root canal along with some other fillings
and made an appointment with Dr. Campanella after reading the reviews here.
He confirmed me needing a root canal and since I was in a ton of pain, he
got me into my endodontist Dr. Wei that same day. He was a life saver
getting me that appointment.
I followed up with him to finish the crown and this was when I knew I could
really judge his work bc I have some ugly crowns in my mouth, that totally
don't fit and look like crap. I knew they made them in the office, which
I had never experienced, so I was nervous about that. I knew he was
awesome after he gave me my shot and I couldn't even feel it, he was so gentle.
Then he carefully and meticulously prepped my tooth. My crown was
made, was gorgeous and at first was hitting on my bottom tooth. I seem to
have this problem and every dentist argues with me about it, as if I am lying.
But Dr. Campanella proceeded to make a simple adjustment which totally
fixed the problem easily. Usually, with past dentists, it's like 15 mins
of adjusting and I still leave feeling like it isn't sitting right on my tooth.
So this was a huge relief for me.
Dr. Campanella is awesome. All the hygienists are super nice as well.
I am someone that uses dentists frequently and know when they are
good...trust me, he's great. I have finally found my dentist!
5. Rancho Del Rey Orthodontics

Sample Review: My experience at Dr.
Praters is always a great visit. She has always been great with all of her
patients and provides very high quality work. I would recommend her to anyone.
6. Toppi Orthodontic & Pediatric
Dental Office in Clairemont, San Diego
3737 Moraga Ave Ste B109 San Diego, CA
92117
(between Monair Dr & Cadden Dr)
(858) 270-2343
Sample Review: Dr. Toppi and his brother do not deserve the
low star average they've gotten! It's not fair that all their happy
clients don't yelp yet! They are incredibly honest and patient and
understanding and reliable. Their staff is very consistent and helpful
and we've gotten the same hygienist for both kids, every time for the past 4
years!!!
The office is in a great location, just off the 5 freeway and also, has lots of
easy parking. They play great kids movies and their set-up for cleaning
is perfect for even the most jittery kids! I have a son with CP who is a
big-time screamer and kicker, but as soon as they lay him down with the video
glasses and headphones, he was like putty. No restraints, no screaming,
no tears. If that isn't a perfect dental visit, I don't know what is!
7. Emergency Dental
Weekends in Beachside San Diego, California
(619) 276-1172
Sample Review: BEST DENTIST EVER. My
Fiance just moved to town and her bracket broke off taking a piece of tooth
with it. Being a Saturday during a 3 day weekend we were prepared for the
worst. I found Dr. Taylor on Citysearch and after a short phone conversation
Dr. Taylor asked how quickly we could get to his office. He was a fantastic,
personable Dentist. He made us feel like he was our family dentist and he was
great with our kids. He was very up front and honest with the pricing and was
WAY cheaper than any dentist I ve been to. If you are visiting or live in San
Diego don t hesitate to visit Dr. Taylor, I guarantee you, your teeth and your
wallet will walk away satisfied.
(619) 342-3577
Sample Review: Mom
had terribly painful lump along gumline...actually thought of going to TJ since
we live so close and she has no insurance - also didn't want to wait 8 hours in
an ER. Did some research online and came across ODD. Never heard of an after
hours dental clinic so we were a bit hesitant. Call the number, got a rep right
away..gave them some info and rep said a doctor would call back to make
appointment...got call in less than 5 minutes! Arrived that night to the clinic
and Dr. Irvin was already there and waiting. He had us fill out a questionnaire
on a laptop (pretty cool) and did some panoramic x-rays on a great new
non-invasive machine. Dr. Irvin was really gentle and patient with my mom and
made sure she new all her treatment options. He thoroughly explained the
pricing and payment options. My mom left that night relieved from the painful
infection and a prescription ready to be picked up at the 24hr. CVS
conveniently located down the street. i would totally recommend this place to
anyone who needs emergency dental care!
