He Re-cemented the crown and it literally can off 2 hours after she left the office. The front office was so disorganized and unprofessional they never provided a treatment plan, telling her the 2 crowns would be $700 a piece. She went to the Endodontist he recommended and had the root canal. Dr Becker's office called a few days prior to her appointment to get the 2 crowns and the lady told her FYI you'll be $2000 out of pocket. She kept pressing my wife say I have 6 other patients trying to get in do you want to keep your appointment. We said $2000 is not the amount we discussed can Dr. Becker do a build up on the root canaled tooth to protect it until we can find a different dentist. They called back the next day a said no he wouldn't do it and the temporary filling will last. 2 days later the temp filling started to fail. Long story short we got a second opinion and the new dentist put the old crown on no problem and said it should last a life time and he also did the build up on the root canal no problem. He also said the tooth Dr Becker sent her out for a root canal didn't even meed a root canal Last this I had an exam X-rays and a cleaning with this guy at the same time and he said I have 6 cavities and need a crown and deep cleanings. Then gave me a treatment plan for $1200. My dad is a dentist in another state and has Taught us how to spot a rip-off artist and this guy should be ashamed. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAM!!!

But I wanted to write this review as their office went above and beyond again when my front crown implant (implanted by another office over a decade ago) came off suddenly as I was flossing one night. Their office staff did everything possible to try to work me in to get it taken care of that day, as they were not open for the next few days otherwise. Dr. Becker took great care of gluing my crown in again. Their office staff is incredibly knowledgeable about Aflac insurance and I don't have to worry about making the claims. My husband and my daughter and I have been very pleased with the dental care we have received here.

Great guy, great work-wonderful staff (Audrey!) I read the other reviews and mine is very similar…read more I will say glowing may be a way to describe my experience, our experience. Originally, we were referred to Dr. Joel (No disrespect to Dr. Tzinberg-I just like calling him Dr. Joel!) for my son who badly needed braces. Admittedly I was nervous for the cost and overall process but those were quickly zeroed out. Did I mention? Great dude!!! He was honest and said that my son was not ready for them yet, he needed them but now was not the time. I thought that was weird as most people are greedy and will just tell you its time to get it done. He did not. We visited a couple more times and each time he was not ready yet. Low and behold that day came-I believe it may have been about 2 years after the first consultation. George got his braces and off we embarked on the approximate 2-year adventure of monthly visits and modifications-Rembrandt like precision and skill, true artist at work. George's teeth were pretty twisted, but Dr. Joel sure fixed him straight. As parents, we were very pleased with his work or skills, my son was happy when they came off and we saw the end result. Great smile! I am jealous. We could not be happier. Well, George has a sister a few years younger and possibly in the "needing braces" rotation. Sure enough, we could not escape it and she required braces as well. It was a very similar and methodical process for hers. She just got them off last week. Such a beautiful smile. Oddly, she was excited to get them off yet super sad when they did come off. I will miss going to see Dr. and Ms. Audrey once a month, I may have to stop in just to say hello. My wife and I and beyond pleased with the entire program. The price was extremely reasonable for the value was exceptional! If your kids may need braces, go see him.

I told this to the dental assistant, the assistant said, "Oh, He never does that." Dr. Hage DDS the owner, convinced me to have the tooth pulled. I was mentally weak due to the tooth pain. The doctor pulled the tooth and showed me a small white infection at the tip of the root, however there was no decay on the tooth. As soon as I saw that there was no decay; I knew all I really need was an antibiotic. I knew this because I had worked in dentistry from 1981 to 1997. Dr. Hage does not care about saving teeth he wants to pull them out so he can do an expensive implant. Then the dentist said I need to have a bone graft; he charged me $800 for that procedure. This took him all about 3 minutes, so I don't know what he really did. I have an upper partial denture, so now I had to pay additional money to add a tooth to the partial. It took two times to get the replacement tooth properly aligned right. It looks terrible and it doesn't look right. A very Mickey mouse job, the lab work was terrible. If you want to save your teeth I would never recommend this office. They don't care about the patient they just care about money. I suggest you find a more ethical dentist if you want to keep your teeth. Sign, A retired dental professional

Anyway, I moved back into the area and decided to go back to Dr. Stone and again she is amazing, especially with patients that have a fear of dental procedures. If you need a great dentist regardless if you have issues with dental procedures (but if you have any anxiety even more reason to see Dr. Stone) I recommend Dr. Stone.

He is so gentle and so aware of causing any pain. There were some moments when I jumped a bit when he was working on the cavity but nothing I couldn't handle. My big thing has always been that needle in my mouth and now I have nothing to fear anymore. Besides being a fantastic dentist, his staff is top notch!

The rest of my…read morefamily left years ago because of O'Brien's constant upselling (sealants, night guards, etc.); lack of appointments; and their frequent cancellations and rescheduling (i.e. delays and headaches). I don't like change so I stayed for convenience. Turned out: it meant constant inconvenience. They regularly cancelled appointments, and then rescheduled weeks and even months later (as they overbook). Today, they just announced they no longer take my CA teachers' insurance (not a big enough profit). As I most recently waited three months to be rescheduled--and I'm late for xrays and a cleaning--I questioned them. They said I should trust the dentist and want to pay out of pocket. Absurd. This is a for-profit venture, with everything revolving around funding O'Brien's family. Left high and dry in the most uncaring way.

His philosophy is unequivocally patient-centric, prioritizing conservative and truly essential treatments. He operates with a steadfast commitment to only performing critical procedures, consistently seeking the least invasive yet most effective solutions to preserve and enhance his patients' oral health.

His precision is second to none--no detail is overlooked, no shortcut taken. Whether it's meticulously adjusting a bite after a filling or ensuring the margins of a crown are near perfection, his commitment to enduring quality is absolute. Beyond his formidable clinical skills, Dr. O'Brien possesses an exceptional chairside manner. His genuine warmth and delightful sense of humor transform what can often be an anxious experience into a remarkably pleasant one. He truly goes the extra mile --not just in treatment but also in fostering an environment where patients feel heard, understood, and genuinely cared for. Having dedicated years to the San Diego dental community and collaborated with well over 100 practitioners, I can confidently state that Dr. O'Brien stands among a very select few whom I implicitly trust. The excellence of Dr. O'Brien's practice extends seamlessly to his entire team, a group of individuals who are incredibly gracious, caring, thoughtful, helpful, and hardworking.
