It was my first time coming to this dental office, which is located in a newer medical building attached to Sharp Hospital. Everything from social distance markings on the elevator floors to the receptionist wearing a mask, made me feel comfortable but I was still nervous as hell. Most people: "I don't like going to the dentist but Me: I have anxiety and a true fear of the dentist and needles, etc, that causes me to be nervous wreck the moment I even think about going, let alone actually sitting in the dentist chair. My ROOT CANAL experience. Dr. Sugita was AMAZING. I usually wear headphones with volume up so I can't hear anything. Dr. Sugita's calm voice and the methodical way he requested the next tool he needed was soothing and actually calmed me down. I'm not exaggerating this, but I DID NOT FEEL A THING! Not even the initial shot of novocaine, not the ones after. I usually feel everything and while the pain isn't much, it's the thought of the needle that gets me. The Doctor and his assistant were efficient and I was done in no time at all. In short, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. SUGITA

His team from the dental hygienists to the specialty staff including Carla and Betty and all of the wonderful people that work there are so calming and make you feel like you are truly the only patient they have in the office that day. Dr Gray has been our dentist for many many years and then we needed more extensive work done. Our son needed implants and he treated him like he was his own son. It was so reassuring. Then i needed some work done and recognizing I have a very low tolerance for pain the team educated me on sedation and it was the perfect solution for me. Dr Gray even texts you in the evening of your procedure to see how you are feeling - what a great customer service from a dentist. And to tell you they have the best front office person does not seem enough. Robert is so friendly and always has a smile on his face. He recognizes everyone when they walk in the door and says hello by their name. So wonderful! If you need a dentist for a child to grandma, Dr. Gray and his team are there for you. They truly make going to the dentist the best it can possibly be. It is the "little" things like coffee and water in the lobby to the toothbrush package when you leave to the hugs when you are down or scared - they have it all. Thank you team for being the absolute best. They are now a part of our extended family although they may not know that yet. Lol. We will never go anywhere else.

I was with Dr. Gray for about 17 years.I had come to him after a string of bad dentists.It was a…read morefantastic experience.Until Espire got into the picture.I have Ehlers Danlos, so he'd done extensive work on my teeth. Good work.Love the staff. More recently, I went in for a check up and had he said the rear, upper molar had to be removed.It wasn't giving me an issue.He said it was pretty loose.it didn't feel loose and no nerve issues. Nothing.I trusted him. I let him know I had surgery the day after next. He said that was fine. I was leery, but he said it wouldn't be a problem.I had waited 3 months for the surgery date and was in pain,I didn't want to screw it up. For 45 minutes he worked away at it.I had a migraine that would not stop.I hadn't had 1 in years.He was upset bc he was behind on schedule.He stopped & went 2 c other patients then came back and gave me more shots.He'd been trying to rush through it, so that meant less pain shots,I was making a lot of noise.I'd never felt pain on any of the other root canals he'd given me.He was stressed.He'd said something to his assistant about how it had been 45m & had a stressed tone.It wasn't very caring about how I was feeling under the drill. I had tears coming down my cheeks,I had 2 keep demanding more numbing shots, something I'd never had to do before. I was in so much pain.That tooth had been solid-that's why it took so long to come out. I was going into surgery in something like 30 hrs, so I wouldn't be able to get any dental surgery done for a while because I had to be off my knee replacement for months. Knowing that, he should have just not done anything at all. It was not hurting. So I left with a deep,wide-open hole in my gum. Went home, took migraine medication and went to sleep. Next day the migraine was still pounding and my face hurt.I kept the lights out and stayed in bed. My husband made me soup for dinner and I went back to sleep. I'd been in so much pain before and in the morning. We got up at 3:30 to arrive at 5:45 preop. I didn't put on makeup and was too frantic to even look in a mirror.It was still dark when we left. The doctor dropped in to see me before surgery.He asked if everything was okay at home.I didn't understand what he was talking about. My hair covers my eye over right cheek (under Gray had been working on my tooth), the device 2 keep mouth open was pinching pretty bad.I let him know, but nothing changed.It was so unlike any treatment I'd received before from Dr. Gray, who was always asking if I was comfortable. The surgeon explained I had a black eye. I was shocked and explained I had tooth surgery.I went to look in a mirror,it was angry green, blue and black. My mouth was hurting a great deal, not ideal for surgery.I shouldn't have had the tooth removed with a major surgery right on top of it. I had a huge gaping hole in my moth for many months, having to clean out the food that got in. That tooth should have never come out. Espire, a company that sends spam to any patient who has an email-do not give them an email!I had to keep calling them and telling the office to remove my email every month.It's all about marketing & getting you back in the chair w/Espire.I loathed the birthday/holiday notices they kept sending to my family-why do we care (that not even Dr. Gray, but Espire wishes us a happy birthday?). They were sending my 81-year-old mother notices - my mother had major work done on her teeth with Dr. Gray. It was tens of thousands of dollars and she was so happy with the result.She was thrilled with Dr. Gray. I received a refund that they had overcharged her after her death. Unfortunately, Dr. Gray's office has always had an issue with overcharging and I had to keep following up to get money back, they'd always say it was the insurance company.I'd have to pull the insurance company into it to get the money back.I always spent more time trying to get money back than time in the chair.It was frustrating.But, Dr. Gray was worth it. I spoke with someone who knows about Espire who says they increase the number of patients (one of the draws of belonging to the network is they have a ton of $ to put into Internet advertising, but Espire gets a lot of $).I think the relationship encourages a quota-like system. I trusted Dr. Gray.I never had that tooth replaced because I just can't go through finding another dentist at this time,though my jaw still hurts. Personally,I believe this happened because of their affiliation with Espire.It was busier than I ever saw. Seats full, lobby busy.No time to take time.I'd never seen him so stressed.When I do find another dentist, it won't be with an office affiliated with Espire.

Two visits ago, when I was checking out, the black lady was on an active FaceTime phone call and she ended up confusing me twice with two different people. She ended up wrongfully charging me once and almost did it a second time because she was too busy on her phone. That is after I told her multiple times what my name was. That is extremely unprofessional of her to be on her phone when she is talking to a client. My last cleaning a few weeks ago on a Thursday, I inquired about a night guard at the front desk. She immediately said no, I do not have any coverage for that. She didn't even bother looking into my plan or calling Delta Dental. She just assumed I didn't. I ended up calling them myself later that day and they said I did in fact have that coverage. The conversation took 10 minutes. I called the office back that day and said I just spoke to the insurance and I did have the benefit. I was told I would get a call back. No call on Friday so I called them back on Monday and they made no progress. They then told me it would be a few days till they get back to me. What? I just verified it within 10 minutes on the phone. These people are an absolute joke. I have since taken my business elsewhere.

I was told I needed a crown so made the appointment to return. Got a reminder by text, fine, I get those all the time. The day before the appointment I got another text. This one said if I didn't confirm my appointment by replying to that text, they would just cancel my appointment. I've seen hundreds of medical and dental practitioners in my lifetime and none of them have had such a policy. I am a busy person and don't have time to respond to texts unnecessarily. And to me that was not necessary. When I make an appointment, that IS my confirmation that I will attend. It may save them from no-show appointments but it's disrespectful of my time, and I'm the paying patient. And what if my phone is dead or I happen to not see the text? Then I show up for my appointment and find it was canceled? I don't need that kind of stress added to my already stressful life, so I canceled the appointment and will try my luck at Point Loma Family Dentist.

I had a pretty cool experience today so wanted to take the time to do this. I was referred to this office at Grossmont Center Drive for a root canal by my dentist. I've always associated root canals with one of the most painful things imaginable, so I was very pleased with the gradual numbing to where I really felt no pain whatsoever. I told her that my crown was less than two years old and so Dr Kaminski said she would try to preserve it. I was back in yesterday for the follow-up visit (Ashley was great also) and they said everything looked good and that I needed to go back to my dentist to get the permanent filling done. I was able to get in today and my dentist said she would look to see if they could just do a filling or would need to replace the crown. I told her Dr. Kaminski had said she would try to be as conservative as possible to save the crown. When the dentist looked she had true surprise in her voice as she said she couldn't believe how small the hole was and that she had never seen that good of a job done on a root canal. She said that the size of the hole is literally at least twice that size normally and often they need to replace the crowns no matter how careful someone is. She even brought someone over later to show my mouth and see if they had ever seen a root canal hole done that well. It moved me to call Dr. Kaminski's office back and give them the positive feedback and I told them I would put this review on as well. It's funny now, because I remember laughing at the intake form that asked if I had ever had a bad experience with dental work and I had commented to the gal at the front desk wondering if anyone ever had a good experience. I guess I can say I have officially had a good experience. Thanks for doing a good job and saving me the extra cost of getting a crown redone.
