I FOUND NEW MY DENTIST!! Dr. Fung is terrific, and it was very much a "collaborative" experience. My crowns on 18 and 19 (lower left molars) were quite old, put in at different times. They were wearing down and I always had trouble flossing around/between them. Gums around them were not happy when I flossed. I met w Dr. Fung and told him I wanted two things in replacing these: 1) anatomical crowns that weren't just flat but more chiseled and were good chewers; 2) Good spacing between them and in front/behind so I could finally floss around them w/o shredding the floss. Well he delivered on both goals!! They are chiseled and chew great. Gums are happy and I can easily floss between/around the new crowns. Very pleased-- highly recommend. I came in after trying a couple other East County dentists over the last 10-15 years with less than stellar results on crown work. (Multiple returns for crown fitting, temporaries cracking over and over, and so on.) I had none of those issues w Dr. Fung. read more

Another amazing appointment! I am blessed to have found such an amazing dentist. I had a new hygienist today and she was wonderful. Informative and caring and not judgmental which I think is the main reason I come to see Dr. Jon. I know that I don't floss as much as I should and they are really encouraging on best practices to floss more and maintain dental health. Anita at the front desk is so welcoming and it just starts off the visit just right. I have a lot of anxiety at the dentist and the office is so calming and everyone is so friendly. It's just an overall such a good experience every time I go that I know if you're not loving your dentist now, definitely make the switch. You will not regret it and you will be so happy you did. read more

Dr. Fung and his team are amazing! I first went to see Dr. Fung for an ongoing issue I had with an inlay and he solved my issue to perfection! Then my wife and I schedule our full exam and cleaning! All I can say was that he took his time on explaining our exam to us and took really good care on our cleaning. His staff is also very kind, knowledgeable and makes you feel at home. read more

Dr. Fung is efficient, confident, and very knowledgeable. Every time I've had numbing done he does it so well that I don't feel the needle or any unnecessary pressure. I actually like coming to the dentist now. His staff is friendly and very helpful in answering questions. I've never trusted a dentist as much I trust Dr. Fung and his team. Highly recommend Collaborative Dental. read more

I want to make this clear, this review is not for Dr Fung himself but his office staff. I wish I could be giving this office a 5 star review but unfortunately I'm not. My family and I have been patients of Dr Fung for over 5 years. He has been amazing but ever since they got new office staff they have been unprofessional. MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR BENEFITS EVEN IF YOU HAVE BEEN LONG TERM CLIENTS. I cannot say it enough they will not check benefits for you and ALL OF THE SUDDEN go out of network with your insurance without telling you ahead of time and then hit you with a 500+ balance. That's exactly what happened to me and it's extremely poor practice if you ask me. Shame on me for trusting and not checkig my benefits ahead of time. I will definitely be doing so in the future. They went out of contract with my insurance in May 2025 and still allowed myself and my two children to be seen in November without letting me know resulting in a $500 balance. Shame. read more

I have reviewed them before, but I am continually impressed by their service. Thanks Dr. Fung and staff!

I came to collaborative dental after years of neglecting my dental health, due to a bad experience from a mission valley dentist that was constantly upselling, super painful, and so I left them and had anxiety about starting over. My kids got to the age of needing a dentist though, and so I tried Dr.Fung and his team, and I could not be happier with their care. Honest assessments, friendly, educational, and they really are collaborative on treatment options. We've been going here for 3 years now and it truly feels like CARE, for my whole family. read more

Going to the dentist is never fun but I don't dread it like I used to. Dr Fung and his staff are so nice. They make you feel comfortable and Dr Fung explains everything and is very gentle. read more

I highly recommend collaborative dental! I trust Dr. Fung with my teeth. He thoroughly explains the procedures and the reasoning behind them. It really shows how much he cares about his patients. Also Summer is super sweet and helpful too in terms of understanding the insurance part of it. The staff here are excellent! read more

Hands down the best dentist I have ever been to! he is so patient and very caring! he explained every single x-ray to me and took the EXTRA time to answer all of my 163 questions! I am very happy with his services and although I don't like going to the dentist, at least I have found one that makes it somewhat pleasant! Thank you Jon! read more

Dr. Fung and his Dental Hygienist were highly professional and caring. The office is clean and welcoming. My mother went in for a post extraction follow up from out of town as she was visiting and now having pain. They were able to get her in right away. After her visit she said Dr. Fung was the most gentle dentist she has ever had. Dr. Fung also followed up by phone to check on my mom. We had such a great experience. Thank you Dr. Fung for taking such excellent care of my mom. We can't say enough good things about this office. read more

Dr. Fung and his team are exceptional!!!! It was my 3year old sons first time to ever visit a dentist and on Halloween of all days. Not only were they accommodating to the needs of my son but also made me feel so welcomed and help calm my mommy nerves. My little guys check up was quick, efficient and best of all no tears were shed. Dr. Fung was patient, kind and knowledgeable. I couldn't believe how smooth everything went and highly encourage you to book an appointment. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Dr.Fung and Summer for making my sons first dental experience amazing!!! read more

I love Dr. Jon Fung. He has been giving me dental advice for over 10 years. He always goes above and beyond in terms of informing me on the latest technology. For Dr. Fung, it seems like dentistry is a labor of love. He really cares that people get the best care possible. He recommends the latest practices. Thanks to Dr. Fung, I've successfully started the practice of flossing. He is very detailed and good about explaining the WHY behind good dental hygiene. Make this man your dentist! read more

Great communication! From the two people who work the front desk to Dr. Fung, who even gave me a follow up call to summarize my kid's visit, everything is "easy" with this office, scheduling, insurance, care. Thank you for providing a positive experience for our family! read more

Dr. Fung has really changed my relationship with what it means to go to the dentist! Even with a history of not-so-great-teeth, Dr. Fung made me feel comfortable with the work that needed to be done, as well as confident in the future of my teeth. The office atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and relaxing... I feel right at home! read more

I had a temporary crown on one of my teeth. Unfortunately, my temporary crown fell off and I called my dentist and couldn't get hold of them and have no idea what to do. Fortunately for me, my friend recommended Collaborative Dental. I called the office and they were able to put my temporary crown back on so I wouldn't have to go a week and a half until my permanent crown came in. They got me in the next morning at 8:30. Dr. Fung was friendly quick, efficient, and more than willing to help me even though he was not my primary dentist. The office is clean and the staff is helpful. I I highly recommend them to anyone!! read more

I am so appreciative of this dental office!! They have been so amazing! I have been going here for a short time, but they always know who I am if I come in or if I call. Dr. Fung has fixed a lot of dental issues I have had and has been very patient with me if I need to take a break. I adore all of the staff. Everyone is so friendly! I have had a lot of anxiety in the past with dental work, but they all make it so much more comfortable. Summer has been so helpful with working with my insurance company to ensure things are covered. Earlier this week, Dr. Fung fit in my daughter (who isn't even a patient of his yet) for a dental emergency! Amazing!! Thank you all so much! read more

As a true fan of Dr. Petrie's I feel blessed that Dr. Fung was Charlie's choice to take up his mantle.......Dr. Fung is hugely talented and has great technique..............I will be investing the rest of my dental process in Dr. Fung who is comfortable being Jonathan as well....That's important..........I believe in Jonathan and will continue to refer to his practice for all general dental needs.........Thanks everyone for the great work, G read more

Dr. Fung is amazing and this is coming from the wife of a pediatric dentist. I absolutely love him and his staff! I refer everyone to him. He is kind, caring, compassionate and knowledgeable. read more

Dr. Fung and his staff are great. My co-worker recommended Collaborative Dental to me and I'm glad to have a dentist I can go to for years to come. I never thought I would say this, but I look forward to going to the dentist now. read more

Long time patient of this location since the previous dentist. Great support staff with an incredible dentist. I highly recommend.

Dr. Fung is awesome! I went once for x-rays, exam, and a cleaning, and again to get two old fillings redone. Dr. Fung really takes the time to explain things and is extremely thorough in his work. Sam, the dental tech, is very detailed in her work as well. X-rays were very comfortable and she is the only person who has been able to floss around my bonded retainers with ease! Summer, the office manager, handled my insurance and appointment scheduling. She made it easy for me to get in as a new client and gave me a quote on the percent cost that my insurance wouldn't cover for my fillings before my appointment. I really appreciate the office's transparency, professionalism, and friendly manner. I will definitely be back in six months for my next cleaning! read more

Great dental office! I've been going here for a few years. They are very friendly and accommodating. Dr Fung is very gentle.

Dentist for life! Most dentist offices are outdated. This one is not only modern decor and updated, but even the equipment and tools they use are far superior. The xrays are painless, and not the old paper type. They are super knowledgeable, not salesy or pushy, attentive, and wait for it...... they have Netflix TV for you to watch while they work on your teeth! What! But really, the people are what make it warm and welcoming. read more

Collaborative Dental - Genius!!! A little tv time while doc does his magic. - General Dentistry Near Me - San Diego, California

My mom broke her tooth and was in a great deal of pain. Dr. Fung went above and beyond to make her comfortable and fit her into his schedule. He took x-rays and expertly answered all of our questions. He showed where the tooth was broken all the way down to the root and explained the next steps. His persona was calm and confident. He certainly knows teeth! As a bonus, the office is really cute and clean and the staff is great. read more

Dr. Fung and team at Collaborative Dental are very friendly, inviting, and good at their work! My husband and I have been very pleased with the dental care here and will definitely continue to come here for all of our dentist needs haha. It is hard to put people at ease when pure in a dentists chair but you can tell that they try their best! read more

After 10 years of NOT going to the dentist I knew it was time to be seen. In addition, I needed to show my 3 year old son that the dentist is safe place for all. Dr. Fung was amazing with my son! It's important to know that my son has autism and new places can be overwhelming for him. It was a very successful visit for my little guy. As for me, I was worried that years of neglect would result in a lot of issues. Luckily, only a few minor issues were identified. Dr. Fung was able to present a clear and concise plan to improve my oral health with NO JUDGEMENT. Thank you Dr. Fung and team for making our first visit fun and welcoming! read more

Dr. Fung and his staff are amazing! After my dentist randomly closed his practice I didn't know where to know and my coworker suggested him and i'm so grateful she did. He's very patient and everyone makes you feel welcomed. I highly recommend them to anyone!! read more

My Family and I went to see Dr. Fung and we were nervous because we have 4 kids and I thought the waiting room might be a disaster. Dr. Fung & the office staff were great with the kids. He did a cleaning for our 3 and 4 year old. I was amazed that the kids actually went through with everything with zero meltdowns! Dr. Fung was like Cesar Milan the Dog Whisperer, except for my kids. He streamed a Disney movie on the monitor that normally displays your X-Rays and the kids loved it. Definitely our Dentist for life! Dr. Fung, the "g" is silent! Warren read more

I highly recommend Dr. Fung and his staff. Friendly and professional. Pleasant and comfortable office space awaits any potential patient.

My visit at Collaborative Dental was awesome. I came into his office with somewhat of a urgent dental issue regarding a toothache. When I was seen, Dr. Fung was able to clearly educate me by clearly explaining the issue at hand and a plan on how to get me back up to healthy dental state. I felt confident in what Dr. Fung shared and was quickly able to get a referral for further care. Dr. Fung and his staff have a compassionate, approachable, and warm touch to their practice. I totally recommend them. read more

Quick, fast, and friendly! I don't really have any issues with going to the dentist, but I do prefer to have a friendly staff that offers prestige customer service, ensuring that I am not just another patient that is replaceable. I most definitely feel that the entire office is concerned about who I am and what I need...in general. Thank you for being awesome!!! Jessica read more

Dr. Jon Fung and the staff at Collaborative Dental provided me 5-star, A+ service and treatment. The thing that set this office apart for me was the individualized attention I received. I wasn't just a number, I was an individual with unique needs. I'd recommend this office to anyone seeking a thoughtful and skilled dentist. Thanks again Doc and team, I am so thankful to be a patient of yours! read more

I usually (REALLY) hate going to the dentist, but I really liked Dr. Petrie... it was a way different experience than my old dentist, who had a big office with many dentists and hygenists, and many patients going in an out... Dr. Petrie's office is very small, which makes it feel more comfortable, and allows for more personal care, and the hygenist and Dr. Petrie were both very good, gentle, and sensitive to the patient's needs. I definitely trust Dr. Petrie to do great work (I have to get some fillings), and I felt like he really cared about me and wanted to figure out the best thing for me. I definitely recommend him and I'm very happy to have found him!! read more

Love Charlie! He's a very caring dentist and really wants to make sure you're comfortable. He explains everything he's doing every step of the way and asks you how you're doing frequently. Great location, easy parking. He is a solo-practitioner so no crowds or waiting. I've had some sucky dentists so I'm happy I finally found Charlie. read more

Best dentist I have ever had! He and his staff are very caring and you can tell he actually cares about his patients. But most importantly he never tried to convince me I needed a procedure I didn't. Normally I find dentists are like used car salesmen, but not Dr Petrie. When I asked him about teeth whitening he explained what would happen any risks and cost and then let me make the decision without further pressure. I no longer see Dr Petrie as I moved to Northern California but if I could fly in to get my teeth cleaned at his office I would. Best dentist I have ever been to!! read more

Dr. Petrie and his staff are, quite simply, the best. From reception to the back office, his staff his helpful, friendly and understanding. His hygienist is very nice and patient with her patients. Dr. Petrie himself is just the nicest guy you could ever meet. Very gentle and very non-judgemental. I was way behind on my dental care and felt bad about that, but was reassured by Dr. Petrie and am now on my way to better oral health. So, if you've been neglecting your dental health and want to start from scratch with a bunch of kind understanding folks, Dr. Petries' office is the place for you. read more
