I am a new patient to the office. I had been putting off going to the dentist for the simple fact of what they may find! I was instantly comfortable walking into the Lakeside office. Reception was very friendly along with the remainder of the staff. Dr. Steph is such a warm, happy, efficient gal that makes sure I am comfortable with all the procedures & am not in any pain. She has a wonderful sense of patient care and a super refreshing sense of humor. The appointments are taken in a timely manner and I was out quickly. You will be given a clear patient payment plan for your dental needs and options of how you can pay. I am super happy with this gem of a dental practice! read more

I've been coming here forever and have always have had great experiences Love Heather and Dr. Anna Cluff- but really all staff here are so genuine, cool, and very good at what they do! read more

The staff is awesome. No questions about what's going on or what is necessary. I felt like they were there to help and not just move me through to the next person. Great experience. read more

I would think no one looks forward to going to the dentist, but Dr. Cluff is the exception. The experience was great. She explains everything to you in such detail and you learn so much that I'm practically a dentist now, lol. If you are looking for through, meticulous, and an incredibly friendly staff, this is the office for you. Come to think of it, I may go get a tooth pulled just so I can go hang out there for a while. read more

Always professional and friendly. Flexible with appointment times and open later than most. Ana and staff are always straightforward and on point with positive attitudes and professionalism read more

The office staff is rude. The dentists do work that will cost you thousands to fix within a few years. If you want quality dental work, DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! read more

So my dentist was Dr. Diana cluff. Simply awesome, cool and fast, the speed is impressive and gets the job done. Also, she likes Dr. Dre, that's a plus in my book. I definitely recommend this office to everyone simply because they are available, very good, professional, clean and fast. read more

My old dentist retired and based on a recommendation of a friend I have been seeing Stephanie at Ana Cluff's office. I was impressed with the facilities and professionalism of the staff, the quality of dental work and the overall experience. I would certainly recommend them. read more

I scheduled a consultation ,from the moment I arrived for my appointment to the moment I left the consultation was awesome and very informative . All the staff was very polite and courteous. The office was clean and in order. I have currently changed my insurance so I can be a full time client. read more

After not going to the dentist in over a year I decided to switch my old dentist and I'm really glad I did. I had some work done involving new fillings and needed a lot of numbing shots. The dr and her team made sure I was never in any pain. Also Heather did an amazing job on cleaning my teeth and showing me how to keep my teeth/gums feeling good! read more

Whole staff is wonderful. Great care with Dr. Cluff really caring about all the patients. Any time I needed adjustment, all I had to do was call and they fit me in. read more

I have only good things to say about Dr. Cluffs office. Making the the transition to another dentist after being with my dentist for so many years, was so encouraging and beyond what I ever expected. From my very First visit Dr ""D" sat down and made me feel comfortable and put me at ease. I liked how they put a list of what's important to me as a patient and assured me with a plan for my care centered around even my fears. I would encourage anyone who is nervous about going to the dentist and especially a new dentist to go to Dr Ana Cluffs practice and see for yourself a true service of excellence. I just want to say to all the staff there Thank you all for helping me make the transition . read more

I had Dr. Diana Cluff and she was phenomenal. Great communication and superb conversation! She was gentle and presented herself with poise and professionalism. Unfortunately I am leaving California at the end of the month so I will not be returning, sadly. I would absolutely come back if I were staying here! The dental hygienist was very professional as well and she did an amazing job on my teeth cleaning. The front desk is very friendly and welcoming, one of the best I've seen! Thank you all for doing what you do and I love seeing women in male dominated fields! read more

A welcoming office. I felt well cared for. I am pleased to have this group of professionals guide me through my dental care. Nice job ladies! read more

This is a great place if you want professionalism, the staff is so friendly, and they go the extra mile, no regrets picking this dental facility read more

Wow, what a great dental experience, from the entrance to the exit. This is a lot to say from a 74 year young "dental chicken", who needed a new dentist. I decided to give Dr. A. Cluff a try after receiving a flyer in the mail. I am so happy I did. The great experience started in the front with really friendly, professional staff. This continued with the back office staff. I was made comfortable and felt much less stress than my normal teeth clenching self. I met initially with Dr. Ana Cluff, who took her time to discuss her exam findings and treatment plan, taking into consideration my cares. Her manner was warm, friendly and very professional. My second visit was for a crown. This was, no kidding, my BEST crown experience. No pain and made to feel so comfortable and much less chair time than previous crowns. This time, I had a opportunity to have Dr. A's daughter, Dr. D. Cluff, an exceptionally skilled dentist. I have found my new, long-term dentist's. read more

I've already given a 5 star review from my very first visit but I wanted to provide an additional review based on my most recent visit..... my daughter and I went in for our 6 month check-up and once again it was an overall great experience! I had my teeth cleaned by the hygienist, Heather who has such a gentle hand for cleaning teeth! I wasn't in pain and didn't feel any slight discomfort during my cleaning. She was very helpful and provided me with some great tips for cleaning around an existing crown I have. Thanks so much Heather! My daughter was worked on by Vero in the office and had no complaints what-so-ever! She even had two of her baby teeth extracted and it couldn't have gone easier - Vero & Dr. Cluff are the best and are a very great team! Dorian also helped explain the doctor's recommended treatment plans and course of care for both my daughter and I in great detail... I had no questions and was all taken care of before leaving the office. Overall - great dental team at Dr. Cluff's office. Thank you all very much! I look forward to seeing you guys again later this month to take care of my husband and son next! read more

When You Are a Senior Citizen and In the Market to find a NEW DENTIST For Much Needed Procedure---It Is Not An Easy Task! I Have Always Depended on Using Dentists in the Past That Were Listed as "In Network" On Any Prior Insurance Plans I had. When It Comes to the Point that Insurance Is Not So Relevant i.e---The Treatment is Not One Covered on Majority of Plans It Is Time to Do What I NEVER Took the Time to Do=SHOP AROUND! I've Become Quite Active With Walking In West Chula Vista Area and Therefore Decided the Dentist Should Be One I Could Walk To. Anything Like Dentist or Doctor Appointments Certainly GO BETTER With a Pre-Walk! Most of Us Don't "Try Out" A Dental Office First----This Means Going In And Feeling Out the Place, The Waiting Room, Receptionist and the Procedure Room. Intimidation is a Key Factor as To Why I Never Thought to Do This! Having Had Several Bad Experiences with Dentists I saw only a Few Times I Neglected Badly Needed Care for Many Years. Financial Issues are also Intimidating as Most CAN'T Afford the Costs for the Treatments that Run into Thousands of Dollars. I Saved Up Towards this for Years And Now With COVID Issues I prolonged until Recently. I visited a Total of 5 Dentists in the past couple Months. Ana Cluff in Chula Vista Was the 2nd one---I was Pleased to Get a Free Consultation voucher. I was Able to Get My xrays from the 1st Office & Knew What I was Dealing With. I Liked Everything About That First Visit---I was Not Rushed and I got to Tell My Story to A Dentist I Felt was Truly Listening. As Far as $$$ Amounts I got so many different Ranges that I still needed to research. I had Almost Selected the #5 Dentist I went to in March 2021 When I got a Call From Ana Cluff's Office About a Special for the month I might be interested in! IDecided to Try a Walk in at the End of Her Shift one day Just to See if We could discuss this. A BIG WIN Was Dr Cluff did not "refer me to anyone" she sat down and discussed Everything Taking , herself taking the time to Go over the reduced prices she could give me & explaining In a Way I could Comprehend. It was a WIN WIN for me! Not only Did I Feel More Comfortable with her than ANY Other Dentist I've Seen She Was Able to DO Exactly what I needed in MY TIME FRAME! I did not have to wait when I went in for Treatment and did not have to share her with other patients.. She knew I was planning a Trip in May and assured me everything could be handled in time for me to take that trip in comfort. Extracting Teeth Is Not A Procedure Anyone can Say Is Easy or Not Painful--- I Tried to Prepare Myself &I was Able to Ask all of my major questions before my mouth was too sore to do so. I stopped her a Couple Times When I Needed More Numbing or to Find Out How Much Longer that Particular Step would Take----She Took Care of these Issues and allowed me to "zen back to my headphones" knowing what time frame i had to endure! After a Week when I went back I had my list of questions handy and she patiently answered each one even giving me advice for things I could eat etc; There is a Reason in Life for everything and I AM SO Glad I did my Shopping around before I settled! I would recommend this Dentist Full Heartedly to Anyone Searching----There Are So Many Dentists In Chula Vista so You Almost have to have a Family One or a Referral Like This When You are really At Wits End. She only works 3 days in the Chula Vista Office and 2 in La Mesa. The fact that she Fit Me In Exactly When I Needed Her Was More Than I Thought would happen! I Know Someday her office may be too busy for this to happen---I am glad I waited no longer! I read more

Getting great dental care can be a stressful process, but this office has made it a breeze. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They put the patient first and cater to their needs in terms of how much or little info you want to know. Billing has also been simple and easy. I have been going here since October 2017 and definitely reccomened! read more

Best dental office!! The staff are professional and skilled but they are also warm and personable. Dr. Cluff is kind, smart and knows how to make her patients feel comfortable. Dorian makes it easy to schedule appointments and always makes sure you get reminders. Heather is super knowledgeable and makes routine cleanings painless. I have never been to a dental office with such great staff all-around! As far as dental work, Dr. Cluff is my dream come true! Not only is she skilled in her craft but she is great at keeping the patient informed. She's constantly telling you what she finds, what you can do about it and what she's going to do next. Other dentists have cut and pinched me but Dr. Cluff has done neither in the 2+ years I have been her patient. She even fixed a crown that two other dentists had messed up; it's been two years and no problems. She also filled in my front tooth after it chipped and it has lasted and you would never know it's filled. They also give cool promo items, other than a toothbrush, like reusable drinking cups and grocery bags. Thanks San Diego Healthy Smiles & Dr. Cluff! read more

The ladies at the office are the nicest people ever. Dr. Cluff, one of the daughters, is so personable and makes me feel super comfortable. I hate the dentist. I hate the smell, the noise and all that but i'm not so anxious going back for my next fills cause i know it won't be so bad. Highly recommend them. read more

I went in for a normal cleaning and was quoted over $1300 for a deep cleaning. After assessing my overall first and last visit I thought it was quite interesting that they give you a questionnaire that asks what your budget is at the beginning of that appointment. I noted that it was flexible, but there's no way I would be paying $1300 for a deep cleaning. Mind you, I have kept up with all my dental needs. When I called to cancel my second appointment the receptionist sounded irritated and hung up on me. It just solidified my opinion on this business being completely money driven and not customer focused. read more

For someone that hasn't been to the dentist in many years finding a dentist is scary. Honestly, it seems they all want a yelp review more than they want your business. Well, after seeing the building and some interaction I decided to use this dentist. They came up with a list of treatments spanning six months with a price, I agreed to said price and then proceeded to skimp, save, borrow and steal what I had to to get the $4,011.00 not covered insurance. I had savings, my friend put in a grand and with my paycheck I made it! Asking on two separate occasions I was told "Yup. Your good. Nothing more to pay" TWICE! Cut to yesterday when I arrived for that final appointment after six months and was asked for and additional $545!!??!! Even after I went home and got my paperwork to prove it they still gave me an attitude. Finally someone figured out what happened, apparently the cost increased for the procedure and insurance didn't cover their portion. Seems to me you should have charged the insurance company before because we had an agreement and price increases shouldn't affect me. Also, if insurance didn't pay "their part" wouldn't that mean that the part that I paid for that procedure is due back to me? Would stand to reason. Well, I'm moving to Pennsylvania today do I won't see that or this dentist again... Thank God! One valuable lesson I've learned in all this is... Always save your yelp review until the entire process is complete. read more

If you have a fear of the dentist, get your dental needs taken care of here!! I've had a lifelong fear of dentists and get full blown panic attacks whenever I need to go (bad past experiences with Dentists in NYC) but I needed to have a very painful upper molar extracted. Once I was numb and ready, Dr. D got started, but the anxiety set in soon after; I was shaking and fully freaking out, but Dr. D and her assistant were so incredibly patient and understanding. She stood right by my side, calmly explaining how tears work to get my mind off my fears, then she brought up my mask (tv show 'friends' themed) and quoted the theme song I knew I was in good hands. Once I was calm, she got right to work and got the molar out in less than a minute, with Zero pain! :D I have NEVER had a dentist this compassionate and professional. I would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you, Dr. D! read more

Just got back from a cleaning and it was awesome. Yes, awesome! Dr. Cluff's office makes having a cleaning a treat, treat. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the welcoming and friendly environment. If you have anxiety going in to the dentist office, it makes an immense difference. My dental hygienist was gentle and caring. I left there in a little pain, but with a good attitude. I'll be back, again. Yes, again. Liz H. read more

This is the only dental office I will ever go to for the rest of my life! If I leave California for some reason, I'd still return every 3-6 months for my dental visits. read more

Went here last week for a cracked tooth and pain. They were able to check out what was happening, make a quick plan, and even offered to take care of it the next day. I ended up going back in a week for an extraction, graft, and fillings. Dr D was super quick (maybe 45 minutes total), so comforting, and awesome! She explained everything to me and I could tell she knew what she was doing. I'll be going here from now on to get any work done. They are so friendly and accommodating. read more

I loved it! With this pandemic going on they are doing great at keeping everyone separated. They are so friendly and easy going. Will continue to come and plan on taking my 21 month old for her first visit here :) read more

My previous dentist of 30 years went out of network with my insurance so I found Dr. Cluff's office in network and I couldn't be happier! The staff are friendly and welcoming. They are very professional and affordable. I'm glad I made the switch! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Cluff's for over seven years and while I normally do not write review wether negative or positive, I feel in these difficult times I needed to. I have never felt like just a "patient" but a person that the whole office cares about. If one is open, they get to know you, show true concern and empathy not just for the dental visit but your life's ups and downs. Today Dr. D, as she is referred to by the office, did a root canal and it was not the easiest one by any means. She is a skilled and caring dentist, she took a couple of breaks to allow me to rest. She was extremely thorough making sure the canals were void of any nerves or debris from the procedure before filling and sealing the tooth. I have recommended this to office to friends and family. I have heard nothing but good feedback from those that have taken my recommendation. I hope this is helpful. Ignacio read more

I've spent a lot of money here out of pocket as well as insurance. Dr D put 2 crowns in one I had to file down myself I had one long fang. The second crown hurt so bad I had to go to another dentist to have them fix the crown. just after a few months the crown was loose I'd put my partial in and it's so tight it hurts. I've had to pay additional money to get it all fixed. I'll never go back. read more

Absolutely one of the most friendly, professional and clean dentist offices I've ever been in. I would totally recommend this place to everyone. read more

Dr. Cluff and her staff were very friendly and professional. I had a deep cleaning and it was a lot more pleasant than cleanings I have had in the past at other dental offices. Highly recommended! read more

Staff are rude. I scheduled and they said they don't have an available slots except 430pm. I got out from the office earlier but when i called them back again, someone called Doreen answered and she said that the available schedule is 4pm. She said I cannot come in because they don't have available. That lady who answered was so rude read more

I used to go to Santee Smiles but the place is very corporate. People are nice but you could tell that even they hated the corporate-ness of it all. So I looked for another dentist and last year I found Dr. Cluff's office. I tried them out with a little intro exam deal that they had going which was great. Right away I could tell that this little Family dentistry place was seriously like a family. I like them a lot. I switched my insurance over so that I could work with this dentistry and I'm so glad I did. If you're wanting to change dentists and get out of the corporate thing I suggest you get these guys a try. read more

Great experience!! Came for 2nd opinion and to compare financial impact. Dr Cluff found several more teeth needing repair that were clearly in the original X-rays from our previous dentist office!! Total charges of needed original work was much less . The office is very well run...good friendly support staff and clear communication!! I have since started the work needed...very happy with the work planning. Doing all teeth on one side at a time so fewer visits!! read more

I've been going to this dentist for almost two years and I always get great service. I recommend you visit Dr.Anna Cluff for your dental needs. They have flexible schedules and they always make me feel welcome. Heather always leaves my teeth super clean! She's awesome! read more
