Dr. McRae is a stand out in his profession. My family and I have been receiving dental services at his office for more than two decades and can say with certainty we've found him and his staff to be highly skilled, conscientious, dependable and friendly. But even more than this, we keep going back to Dr. McRae because we trust he really cares about our well being. He's called our home after difficult procedures to make certain we're comfortable, made himself available on weekends for emergencies, never suggested an unnecessary procedure, and gone above and beyond on countless occasions at his own time and expense. Dr. McRae always greets you with a smile and it doesn't take long to discover he cares deeply for his clients health and happiness. This dental practice is as good as it gets! read more

The BEST dental experience I've ever had. Dr.McRae, greeted me with a warm smile, and really cared about me and my needs. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. I had to get a broken tooth taken out. I was scared to go in. But as soon as Kim one of his hygienist came and talked me thru it all, I felt comfortable. They didn't pressure me to get everything done right away. They mapped out a great plan to get my teeth and gums healthy again. I feel so comfortable, I have no fear of going into the dentist to get the rest of my work done. Thank you to the staff, and Dr.McRae for making my experience a great one. Kelly Rice read more

This office is so calm, and has such kind and efficient staff. I went in to get invisalign (clear, plastic braces) as a senior in college, they were so accommodating to my long-distance situation. They even took the time to take the invisalign off a couple days before graduation so I could have a clear smile for pictures, and put them back on the day after. I highly reccommend Dr. McRae and his staff. They are excellent interpersonal communicators, as well as skillful in dentistry. read more

Dr McRae personality and his way of treating his patients is wonderful. He staff is also great! We know we are in very good hands. read more

I was so nervous about the dental work I needed done that I was thinking about turning around in the Dr's Office hallway and going home. But, I'm soooo happy I went in! The Ladies at the front desk are so nice and friendly . Dr. McRae is by far the BEST DENTIST that I have had the pleasure of being his patient ! Thank You Dr. McRae ! read more

If you have found Dr. McRae's office consider yourself lucky! That is how I feel having discovered this extraordinary dentist and office staff. I was looking for a new dentist and a local endodontist (Dr. Sherman) recommended Dr. McRae. The recommendation was very high and so I gave it a try. During the first call to the office the accommodating and warm receptionist made it clear that this medical group was outstanding, organized and valued each patient, even new ones like me. They worked around my work schedule and got me in for my initial first visit. Since that time almost three years ago, I have grown to know and rely on Dr. McRae and his staff for both my routine and more challenging dental needs. I have had my basic dental cleanings done with great attention and care since becoming a patient. But where this office stands apart is in addressing my more complicated dental issues. Dr. McRae and all of the office member took such great care of me in a collaborative effort to help me with a full set of veneers. One year prior to coming to Dr. McRae, I had a brand new set of porcelain veneers put on to replace a set that I had for twenty years. Unfortunately, the veneers were not a good fit and were causing me so many problems. I was so upset and sad about my situation and was so afraid to get another, third set. We decided to start the process of replacing the problematic veneers and I'd like to describe the care and attention that went into my treatment. Each phase was planned out meticulously over six months. Dr. McRae gave so much thought, time and attention to creating an experience and outcome that was easy for me. He took many photos and consulted with me patiently on each and every tooth. Not one time ever did he waiver from his steadfast attention and care. He is an artist and cared so much about how I felt with my new teeth. The thing that I am most grateful for is Dr. McRae always considered the overall aesthetic look of my teeth while including me, listening to my preferences and gently nudging me towards the best outcome. I am so appreciative of this quality in a cosmetic dentist, and he is just outstanding. I love my new smile! And while Dr. McRae is an superb practitioner, he is supported by a very gentle and caring dental assistant staff. They each share the same care and concern that can be consistently felt at each visit for any treatment. The office manager Holly, and coordinator Ana are a huge part of the collaborative team that make this office outstanding. Holly assisted me tirelessly throughout my veneer replacement treatment and I relied on her to help me schedule and navigate insurance. Everyone at Dr. McRae's office is genuinely caring and I cannot recommend them higher. I'm so lucky I found them and hope you find them too! read more

Dr. McRae is great! I've been going to him since I was a little kid and he's always been so caring. I know I can trust him with my dental health. The dental hygienists are also amazing. Wendy is like a friend to me and is amazing at her job. I highly recommend Dr. McRae's office for all dental needs! read more

Dr McRae is the best!! The office staff are AMAZING and you are always treated with dignity and respect. Wether you're getting your teeth cleaned, a cavity filled or just paying a bill it is always a great experience. Nobody likes going to the dentist but this dentist will make you change your mind. I always look forward to my visits! read more

As a child I had a traumatic dentist experience. Today was my first procedure with Dr. McRae. Both he and Kim took that into consideration and they were supportive, gentle and compassionate during my two fillings. They were both kind and understanding. As much as I dislike going to the dentist they really did an exceptional job at mitigating my anxiety. Thank you!!! read more

Dr. McRae is wonderful to work with! The office staff is super friendly, Wendy Tweed is my favorite hygienist, and they are very accommodating to my limited availability. read more

After many horrible experiences with different corporate dental offices (due to my employers insurance) I was introduced to Dr. Mcrae after getting married and put on my husbands dental insurance. It was a total 180 degree difference! Dr. McRae and his staff are honest, trustworthy, and have really friendly customer service - it feels like you're seeing old friends every time you come back for a cleaning/ check up. I prefer Wendy for my cleanings because not only is she great at what she does but it's always fun to catch up on what's going on with our kids etc but my husband goes to Rene (because of his work schedule) and likes her very much as well. Wendy now is my kids hygienist (ages 8 ,6 and 3) and she's so great with them, making them feel comfortable and actually gets them to sit still for a whole cleaning. The few times I've.had to get a cavity filled or any other dental work done, Dr. Mcrae and his assistants have always been really good at making it as efficient and comfortable as possible. Anna and Holly manage the billing/ insurance and they both are great at explaining all of the out of pocket costs and I've always felt the costs were very fair compared to the previous dental practices I've been to . So if you're looking for a new dentist for yourself or your family, I highly recommend you visit Dr. Mcrae and his staff! read more

I love this dental office. EVERYONE is friendly and accommodating. Ana is so efficient and helpful. She remembers details about our lives and cares! The hygienists are professional and gentle. We had to switch insurance at the beginning of the year and I was positively thrilled to see Dr. McRae accepts our new plan. My entire family is thankful to have Dr. McRae as our dentist. A great dentist is a blessing! read more

Dr. McRae is fantastic! I've had top-notch dentists in the past, and Dr. McRae did better work than both of them! The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I've definitely had much better cleanings. he office staff is very accommodating and friendly, and will go above and beyond to fit you in in a pinch! Even though the office is more than 20 miles away from where I live I don't want to switch dentists, as I don't feel I could find a better one. read more

I was a patient of Dr. McRae for many years until a change in insurance forced me to switch. Fast forward 12 years: Thankfully my insurance has changed again and I was able to go back. I had a cleaning & X-rays a few weeks ago - all was efficient, friendly, and courteous. The doc still has a great staff, from the front desk to the hygienist. Today I went to get 2 fillings. Wah! I hate being in the chair. But he's really good at doing the shots so they don't hurt too much and yet made things thoroughly numb. Shots were the hardest part yet not bad at all. They finished 2 fillings in under an hour, and tonight Dr. McRae (just like he did 12 years ago) called me personally to see how I was doing. "I'm doing great! Thank you!" He and his staff are personable, compassionate, skilled, and efficient. Like most, I don't like going to the dentist, but these great folks make it easier. Not to mention their new (to me) office and equipment are all very modern and very nice. Thank you, Doc and staff. read more

Having seen Dr. McRae for six years, I couldn't ask for a more competent, caring dentist. His staff are always friendly and welcoming as well as excellently skilled. I highly recommend him to all wanting the best in dental care. read more

Just went to Dr. McRae's office. I want to let everyone know why I'd choose his office over anyone else. I'm a pretty picky "patient," after having some massive issues because of dentists not doing their jobs properly, Dr. McRae helped me prioritize on my budget for what needs to be taken care of first. My health came before anything. I really appreciated his staff being so kind and patient and his amazing skills. I will definitely be back, hoping to help refer patients to him because I can't see other people going to anyone else! He is an OUTSTANDING dentist, and has OUTSTANDING, professional staff! read more

I found Dr. McRae to be exceptionally courteous and refreshingly candid. I felt immediately at ease in his presence, and he spoke knowledgeably about the options I have available for my difficult dental situation. His staff were also professional and courteous.

As I am reletively new to the Vista area, I was more than pleased to be turned onto Dr. McRae from my roommate. I have never had a more pleasant dental experience than what I discovered at Dr. McRae's. I felt welcomed from the moment I first stepped into the waiting room. The office staff, dental assistants, and Dr. McRae himself were all super friendly, personable, and very professional. (Not to mention super considerate. Never in all my dentist-visiting years have I been handed a pair of shades to wear while my teeth are being cleaned to avoid splatters! I have also never attended a dental office that has a TV on the ceiling you can watch and ditsract yourself with while your teeth are being cleaned). Dr. McRae and his staff take their time to get to know you beyond your dental needs and that is what truly makes the dental visit special. Their care to detail and consideration is unparalleled to what I have experinced before and I would recommened this dentist to anyone. read more

After YEARS of searching for capable dentist, Dr. McRae (and his entire staff) was highly recommended by a colleague. What a BLESSING to have been guided to this team!! I had serious trauma to my teeth, when I was young and have had broken front bridges, multiple root canals, and more issues that y'all want to read about here ... bottom line - I hated going to dentist offices, as it was always painful and a bit traumatizing. Dr. McRae is the FIRST dentist that I have no stress or worry over making and appointment and going in. He is amazing, in all areas (I have had him replace my front broken bridge and had several other procedures with him), as are his hygienists! The front office staff is also such a pleasure to work with. I have since referred several friends to him and they are all just as happy as I am. Making the switch to Dr. McRae would seriously be one of the best decisions you will ever make!! read more

If you are looking for a great dentist, Dr. McRae is the guy for you. My initial experience with Dr. McRae was in 1999 on a job interview. I got the job and the best dentist ever. Having worked in Dr. McRae''s office for 10 years, I can honestly say that he is a genuine person, and a kind, caring and skilled dentist. I know him to be a man of integrity and honesty, and trust him to recommend what is best for his patients. As others have said, he calls his patients after most procedures to make sure they are comfortable and doing ok. It's been 9 years since I retired from Dr. McRae's office, but I continue to be his loyal patient and would and do recommend him to anyone who is looking for a dentist. The staff are all friendly and helpful, and it really does feel like family when you go to the office. Wendy Tweed is just about the most perfect hygienist ever and I love catching up with her when I get my teeth cleaned. read more

Dr. McRae has been our family dentist for over 15 years. An excellent and caring person. When my daughter face planted on a wood chair, when she was 3 years old, Dr. McRae met us at his office on a Saturday evening to care for her. His staff is also very pleasant and professional. read more

Dr. McRae and his entire staff are the most caring dental group I have ever had. From the first call for the first appointment I knew this was going to be my dentist.

After any procedure, he personally calls to ask how you are doing. I had one painful emergency and they saw me within two hours. I highly recommend Dr. McRae. read more

High quality dental work in a pleasant office with friendly and caring staff. My wife and I have been coming to this office for nine years.

This office is AMAZING! Dr. McRae is awesome the best dentist around. The girls in his office are so helpful and knowledgeable.

Dr. McCrae and his staff are simply wonderful! My daughter and I have been patients since 2001 and would not go anywhere else. Dr. McCrae helps prioritize what needs to be done and has your best interests in mind with everything that he does. He doesn't try to get you to have unnecessary procedures and truly cares about how you feel. He is the only dentist, or doctor for that matter, who calls personally to check on me after I have had a major procedure. Of course, I could call after hours if I have a problem but the fact that he takes the time to call me speaks to his empathy and professionalism. My hygienist Wendy is the best and is extremely concerned about my comfort. She is patient and an incredibly sweet person with a great amount of professionalism. This entire practice feels like family. The atmosphere is comfortable and believe it or not, Dr. McCrae's practice is a genuinely relaxing experience. How many people can say that about a visit to the dentist? If you are looking for a great dentist and staff who exude professionalism yet treats you like family, Dr. McCrae's dental practice is the place for you! read more

I had a wonderful experience at Dr. McRae's office! He and his staff are very welcoming, honest and professional!! That can be hard to find! I would highly recommend going to his office. read more

My husband and I had Dr. McRae recommended to us when we moved to the area in 1998. We have been loyal patients of his ever since and wouldn't dream of changing to another dentist. He and his staff have always given us the very best of care. Dr. McRae calls us at home the evening after most procedures to see how we are doing. We had never experienced that kind of follow-up with previous dentists. He has gone above and beyond in a few emergency situations for my husband too. Dr. McRae and his wonderful staff couldn't be more professional, knowledgable and caring to us....so I recommend him without hesitation. He's not only a great dentist, but a great guy as well. read more
