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!

1 star review is for orthodontics only. The dental hygienists gets 5 stars. Let me start by saying…read moreI was a HUGE fan of this office for many years. However Dr Kerbs has proven that just because a dentist is legally allowed to provide orthodontics, it doesn't mean they should. Dr Kerbs made me a ridiculously thick night guard and I kept returning to have him grind it down more because my teeth were hitting. They didn't give me eye protection while grinding and a fleck of plastic scratched my eye and I had to go to an optometrist. Dr Kerbs also gave me Invisalign, but after I finally left his office for good I had to go to a real orthodontist and get another round of Invisalign to fix my teeth that were hitting. While in Dr Kerbs' care I suddenly had significant gum recession in those teeth that were hitting from their Invisalign and/or thick night guard. Here it is 3 years later after $3,000 for the additional Invisalign from a real orthodontist and $7,000 for a gum graft from a real periodontist to cover my exposed roots on those 4 teeth. But that's not all. They gave my kid a Vivos night guard to "expand her palate" and didn't properly check in with her for a full year. If they did, they would have realized the device had created a posterior open bite!!! How was my kid even chewing food?! This was my wake-up moment. We immediately stopped using Dr Kerbs and I took my child to real orthodontists for consults. All of the orthodontists told us to throw away the Vivos, and that she had no adult teeth so it was way too early to start any sort of Ortho treatment. Another expensive mistake. I learned a lot during this process, I just wish I had gone to an actual orthodontist in the first place. I guess I should be thankful I didn't try to do any gum grafting with him because he can sell you that too.

My dad had recently tragically passed away last year and my old dentures had expired. I had an urgent need, but instead he decided to torture me with a nightguard that bruised my gums to move some shifted teeth. Once that didn't work, the partials process went HORRIBLY wrong. I lost a whole year of my life, and I am left with NOTHING! My teeth have been altered and damaged from this mess. I feel completely let down. He is not very understanding when it comes to pain and you can end up hurt in the process. I hope this review can spare someone from this yearlong torment, physical and mental anguish I endured here. I completely trusted this doctor so many years. I just wanted a brand new smile, and it turned into a total NIGHTMARE! Be Careful Here!

After reading the office's response to my husband's review, I feel the need to share my own…read moreexperience as the person who actually went into the office to discuss the billing issues. The problem was never that we refused to contact insurance ourselves. The issue was the office's unwillingness to help clarify obvious discrepancies or assist in resolving confusing charges related to treatments THEY recommended. When I visited the office, I asked reasonable questions about inconsistent insurance payments, unclear billing, and financial charges added during the insurance processing period. For example, insurance paid very different amounts for exactly the same treatment. The office simply printed out the insurance payment details and even agreed that it "didn't make much sense." However, when I asked if they could help double-check with insurance, I was repeatedly told that it was "my responsibility" to deal with insurance. Simply telling patients to call their insurance company is not the same as providing good customer service or billing transparency. What made the experience especially frustrating was the dismissive attitude throughout the conversation. In particular, when I pointed out that financial charges were being added before insurance had even completed processing the claims, I explained that the insurance payment timeline is between the office and the insurance company, and patients should only be responsible for the unpaid portion after insurance processing -- not finance charges on the full amount during that process. The response I received was essentially: "Well, it's your insurance. They paid us late, so you are responsible." I have honestly never experienced this type of billing practice anywhere else. Overall, this office felt far more focused on collecting money than caring for patients. This was reflected in the unclear, non-itemized invoices we received. If I had not gone into the office personally and asked for printed details, I would never have understood how these so-called "financial charges" were being calculated. Please carefully review your invoices if you visit this office. I truly hope this feedback encourages them to improve their billing transparency and customer service.

My primary dental office was unavailable, so I desperately searched for the closest office covered by my insurance. From the very first call, they went above and beyond. They got me scheduled within the hour, which honestly felt like a lifesaver. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt welcomed, cared for, and genuinely listened to. The team was professional, kind, and incredibly accommodating, especially with my schedule and the fact that I have braces. They thoroughly assessed my situation and determined that I needed two root canals, explaining everything clearly and compassionately so I never felt overwhelmed or rushed. Dr. Escobedo was nothing short of amazing. Her expertise, calm demeanor, and genuine care made an incredibly painful and stressful situation so much easier. I have never cried from so much pain but upon arrival and during the exam and treatment, I knew I made the best choice in choosing to continue my care with Escondido Modern Dentistry. She listened, was empathetic and reassured me that I was going to walk out without pain and we'd address the root (no pun intended) cause. The entire experience from start to finish was seamless, efficient, and far beyond what I ever expected from an emergency dental visit. Patty, the office manager/front desk was very thorough when it came to explaining out of pocket costs and insurance. If you are in pain, need urgent care, or simply want a dental office that truly puts patients first, I cannot recommend Escondido Modern Dentistry enough. They turned a terrible situation into an incredibly positive experience, and I am beyond grateful.

Luckily I was able to get him on the phone before he went through with it and told him he needed a second opinion by a trusted dentist. He had a visit with my regular dentist and she found ZERO ISSUES!!! I am actually disgusted that this dentist would have blatantly lied just to make a buck. Shame on you! Do better.

They did not accept my insurance (totally fine) but I was able to get an affordable exam. So good so far. Unfortunately thats where it took a downturn. The hygienist checked my gums and said I needed a deep clean, (fair) I told her that was not within my budget at the moment; and she ignored that and continued to tell me why I needed a deep clean. She then proceeded to tell me I need braces. My teeth are cramped and a little crooked, but not terrible. I told her that was wayyyy out of budget right now. And she inferred that I needed to rearrange my finances... Remember I was here for a painful and off center jaw.. the dentist told me he couldn't do anything for TMJ in the office, but he could refer me out. So $90 later, I had no less pain, and been essentially shamed by the hygienist. At check out she stood in the back of the office glaring at me with her arms folded while the receptionist showed me pricing for a deep clean. With the discount, it would have been roughly $1300. When I once again said that was out of my budget, she huffed. The receptionists and dentists were nice enough, and as helpful as they were able to be. But I was very off put by the experience, since I feel I was being (or attempted to be) sold on services I did not go in for.
