I have now had 3 visits to North County Oral and Facial Surgery…read more My AMAZING oral surgeon was Dr. Soelberg. I am so grateful fate set me up with him. Germaine & the entire front and back office are equally amazing. I felt heard & supported. I felt understood and listened to. I felt empathy; I felt like I was having a genuine human interaction, which is getting rare these days. Absolutely everyone there was friendly AND professional! They completely humored me, put up with my bad jokes and nervous babbling & laughter; answered my questions and listened to my concerns. Germaine was the best! Super funny guy himself! I hate to say it, but he was my favorite. though everybody there was awesome. And let me tell you, Dr. Soelberg has a magic touch! I had 13 teeth extracted, 3 alveoplasty's with 3 sutures. And that was my second visit. I had an extraction a month before this and had zero pain afterwards. Then, I literally had almost zero pain at all 13 extraction sites. Now my jaw is another story. But that is normal & I'm grateful for the i uprofen. I'm not sure if it IS normal to have almost zero pain at the extraction sites, but I did not. I'm not even sure how that's possible. They truly have a magic touch. The facility is gorgeous, super clean, warm and inviting. I really just can't emphasize adequately how absolutely awesome Dr Soelberg & the staff are. They made an absolutely terrifying, life changing procedure, bearable. I am forever grateful and I would recommend them 100%! Big thanks to the entire staff at NCOFS!

I cannot recommend this dentist and his staff enough. I am an EXTREMELY anxious dental patient, I…read morehave had horrible experiences as a child and it has scarred me, just a teeth cleaning can give me an anxiety attack. Thank goodness for Dr. Frickman. He is kind and gentle (I have had one crown replaced with him and he is very gentle and calming) I need another crown replaced, both crowns were done by previous dentists who clearly messed them up, normally this would send me into pure panic mode but Dr. Frickman and his staff always make me feel comfortable and the most important thing is that they are sensitive to my anxiety. If you're looking for an expertly skilled dentist who has a fantastic kind and warm team, in a tranquil office environment, these are your people. They are also great about working with your insurance and I don't find them outrageously expensive and they never upsell or tell me I need something done that isn't necessary. I'll always still be a little nervous at the dentist due to my past but I am so happy to find a place that makes me feel comfortable. Thank you!! Nikki L.

Dr. Bainer.....Talk about a Dream Team! In the dental…read moreprofession, I'd consider you and your team are IT ! Time to seek dental attention again, you say? Another doctor? A stranger because you're new to this area? Not only a doctor but a dentist doctor who's sure to cause pain ? AAUUGGHH! Go visit Dr. David Bainer, say friends ! So very reluctantly, I follow their advice ! I shuffle half-heartedly up to the front door of his office, not at all looking forward to what lies beyond. But then, I'm pleasantly surprised by the very welcoming receptionist, Lina. OK, I feel better already! Then comes Medical Assistant, "Bailey" who instantly charms and engages me about Dr. Bainer and what lies ahead today as she escorts me into the inner chamber. Clearly, Bailey loves her job and respects Dr. Bainer, settling most of my apprehensions. Next up is Dr. Bainer himself, and OMG, I was totally impressed by him, first as a gentleman, second as a knowledgeable and charming dentist who gave me the best medical experience I've encountered in 80 years of visiting doctors ! For me t'was a "red letter day!" Most notable about Dr. Bainer was his kindness and compassion, as exceptional as his obvious drive to deliver the highest possible standard of patient care. I left with a confidence that he would do his very best hereafter to help me and soon my wife, who dreads dentists with a passion! T'would be easy for critics to claim I'm over the top with praise here, but I exaggerate not! Everybody I met on the team was exceptional. Bottom line, Dr. Bainer will be our dentist for the remainder of our lives. Thank you ever so much Dr. Bainer, Bailey, Lina and other team members for such an experience. And may God richly bless YOU all as you press on giving your patients such superlative dental care! Yours sincerely, Bruce and Carole Page
