I have absolutely debilitating dental anxiety and will avoid dental care if I don't feel comfortable with the dentist. It took me years to find someone who made me feel as relaxed and comfortable as Dr. Jamie and his dental assistants do (the male is named Nereus but I don't know the woman's name). I used to cry coming into appointments but now I actually look forward to them. I also want to shout out the ladies at the front desk. They are always so friendly, remember who I am and make scheduling a breeze. read more

They repaired one tooth and it came out, said I needed a bridge. People and trainees speaking different languages while working on you. This place is a train wreck in my opinion. Don't go anywhere near here. read more

I would not recommend this office to anyone. The wait times are extremely long, and once you finally get back, the rooms are tiny and cramped. To top it off, the office manager she was incredibly rude. I won't be returning and I certainly don't trust them with my dental care. read more

My dentures with them were supposed to last 5 yrs..they snapped in HALF 18 mounths later..WORST Quality I've seen in dentures..My Self esteem & Smile have vanished..while they charge an insurance company top dollar for low quality dentures..Go somewhere else.. read more

Excellent office, very modern, with great retro looking posters about travel all around the facility. Very welcoming front desk, considering the amount of people all at once. Doctor was very funny and friendly too. I wish my first visit and the cleaning would have been more in depth as I have had in other dental offices but I felt very welcomed during my first visit. Loved the dental assistant too! Such nice people working there! read more

Top-notch care! I found Dental Express, after experiencing inconsistent and low quality care from another dental professional. I needed someone who was on top of my care needs and who had hours that worked with my busy work schedule. As a former USAF Medic, who worked in patient care, I was pleasantly surprised with the staff of Dental Express. The staff is so friendly and diligent about contacting their patients with appointment reminders. They have been helpful and accommodating with me, as I work at a job where my shifts sometimes change unexpectedly. I work in customer service (the airlines) and see hundreds of guests a day; and I know how important it is to genuinely care about each person I interact with. I absolutely love the kindness and respect each member of the Dental Express staff has shown me, over the 2 years. My appointments have not just been for cleanings, but for other dental issues I've had. Dr. Jamie is so personable, and funny; he feels like a friend you've known for years. He is thorough in explaining what he is doing along the way, and always makes a point to encourage me to speak up if I have any discomfort, throughout the procedure. I commend him and his team for their bedside manner, and for making each patient feel like a friend. From my point of view, the team seems to love their job, they care about their patients and endeavor to give their patients the best care from beginning to end. A shout out to Erika. She has worked on me many times and is a joy to see. I have recommended this specific location to my friends and family. Thank you for taking a less than exciting but MUCH needed appointment and making it peaceful, smooth and painless! read more

This is my 2nd time I am posting about this place, I'm still coming and it keeps getting better. As I sit in the waiting room for my appointment I watched these two ladies who ran the front desk Nancy and Marina, handling calls, not only were they prompt at answering the calls these ladies were extremely polite. I know that may not be something people look for in a dentist but for myself the first people I encounter is the front desk and getting a positive vibe helps my outlook from the get go and just makes everything seem to go smoother. Why I feel this is something to review is because customer service has fallen short and is not always the best. I have to say that this is probably the best dentist office I've been to in my 60 years. They fix what you don't like, you are seen within a week or two, they communicate to you about everything that is happening and make sure you are happy when you leave and your treatment is complete. P. S. I've referred 7 people here that are seeing this office for their dental needs now and will continue to do so. read more

It took me a few days to write this review because I'm in shock that such a good experience with a dentist office can turn so poor so quickly. I scheduled my initial consultation on 11/4 with Dr. Jamie. He and his assistant Nereus were so professional and thorough. I scheduled a rather large procedure that would require some recovery for 12/31. I am a business owner and need at least a month to clear my schedule of clients. I received a call from the office to come in for a rescan on 12/10. Nereus informed me that he would have everything in office from the lab by 12/23 for my 12/31 appointment. Fast forward to the Day before my procedure and I called the office to remind them that I have not received a required prescription to take before the procedure. The front desk seemed confused and I was transferred to a manager. This manager, Enisa, flippantly told me that I would have to reschedule my appointment for the following week. I explained that this was not possible due to my work schedule and that this had been on the books for at least 5 weeks. After waiting all day for a return call, I received a text at 4:30 p.m. with no solution. She begrudgingly told me that nothing was ever sent to the laboratory. Unfortunately, I was given no option other than to reschedule for the end of the following week. No matter how many times I told her that it would be at least a month before I would be able to reschedule. The only options were to cancel everything all together or reschedule the following week. I couldn't believe no other options were available to me and that I could not get any resolution. When I asked to speak to the doctor or his assistant, she told me they already knew and were just fine with it. It is shocking that the patient's time means absolutely nothing to this office. read more

Dr. Jamie and his assistant Nereus were so polite, helpful and funny. I walked out of that office feeling sexy! Thanks again

Excellent service, courteous and professional. Very clean dental office. I highly recommend it. read more

I called this place and I told them I need my six month cleaning. I'm a new patient. I book an appointment and when I get to my appointment, they can't give me a cleaning. They find something wrong. Give me a bill for $4000 and then tell me they don't have time for my cleaning after they're already behind. This is how you treat new patients I should've listened to the other reviews, but you always go on on a lamp and make your own decision. Do not waste your time with these people. read more

Honestly I haven't even been seen in this office, yet and the minute I called about my pain I got an appointment asap. They are very compassionate and honest and care about their patients. read more

I was helped by receptionist Marina, who was so kind and polite. She explained my treatment plan and options so nicely! Made me feel so comfortable and welcomed read more

Dr.Jamie Assistant Erika What am amazing team! I have never been to a dentist where it feels like home. I have had some atrocious work with past dentists and not only was Dr. Jaime able to fix their mistakes! But he didn't make me feel bad about my past dental work like other doctors have in the past. read more

Before I even enter the office, the person on the phone was very nice. I entered the office, the decor and the front area was so nice and clean. And all the ladies at the front desk had excellent customer service skills, with a smile, I was lead back to my room by another nice lady, who answered all my questions and gave me a lot of information as well. And my Dr,Jimmy was extremely helpful and nice and informative. And that room was clean and the layout was nice too. The Dentist was very straight forward and I was given a few options as to what to do next. I never felt just another person to grab the money and move on. This is a great place for the whole family with the nicest people to take care of your needs. Wish I could give them more Stars. read more

I can't express the wonderful treatment and gratitude I have for the kind and compassionate staff and Dr. Jamie . I'm so thankful to have been helped by this office. I would recommend them to family, friends etc Do yourself a favor and give them a call. read more

I don't recommend this office. I had amalgam fillings and then had Dr. Ferguson change my fillings to composite material which was not done correctly. Most of the fillings still have amalgam in it and 3 now require a root canal. I wish I would have done more research and not have let Dr. Ferguson do everything under a short amount of time. read more

I came in today to pick up my partial and received exceptional care. Nereus was an excellent dental assistant, and I appreciate his expertise and caring nature. I will be back to Dental Express! read more

I hadn't gone to the dentist in a while but my dental hygiene has been good. The service was great! I have a friend who actually works there, Nikki, she did my teeth cleaning and she was so gentle and checks in to make sure you're comfortable! The dr that is there is also very friendly and makes sure you are doing okay while they are doing their work. Everyone is so nice at this location ! I will be going back in June for another appointment ! Excellent job to all that work at Dental Express! read more

Best experience we've had in a very long time. The staff were friendly the dentists Dr kondo was informant super helpful. And the staff were able to assist with my insurance aswell. They stayed late to complete my emergent wisdom tooth extraction and bone graft. I would highly recommend this place. read more

The Staff was great But they really like pushing to many procedures all in one clump .. read more

Bull in a china shop. Both dentist and hygienist were rough and hurried. Horrible! Not going back. Dentist also wanted to put filling material over old filling that broke, which was unacceptable. Stay away! read more

Kirsty the hygienist was amazing. My mom had a deep cleaning on 4 quadrants. My mom was happy that she did not feel anything when Kristy was numbing her. And the cleaning went great! Thanks! read more

I do not recommend this place!!!! I scheduled a cleaning 3 weeks in advance, arriving at my appointment 10 minutes early so everything was ready. I waited for them to pass me and everything was fine, the assistant told me to relax and wait, 50 minutes passed and the assistant returned telling me that she didn't know until what time they were going to see me, that she had 4 or 5 patients before me, she told me If I want to wait, they don't know how long the wait will be, so if I want, I can schedule an appointment another day. They could have told me that before entering and I would have understood it, but they told me that since I was sitting there waiting in a room that had not finished adapting it. The truth is it was a terrible experience and I will never return. read more

Dental Express - General Dentistry Near Me - Escondido, California

I'm so UPSET!!! After, a year of going and paying out of pocket to every dentist ((middle age tall white guy)) and specialist from San Diego-apple valley I find out EXACTLY a year later my ROOT CANAL is INFECTED, not wide enough, and made too long so it's protruding at my gums!!! He even was saying how he didn't want to do it. My night guard was a $5 Walmart one and my FLIPPER Is I'm TOO BIG! MEDICAL NEGLECT!!! read more

I just called this establishment for more information on the practice for a family member . R U N ! Unprofessional! I Couldn't even make it past the initial phone call I can only imagine the mess there! And no it was not an answering service they're open on Saturdays and this person works there! Fortunately for me I am blessed to be able to afford any dentist I want yep! But..... You should definitely proceed with caution with this business... First off: I feel sorry for people who are forced into situations due to their insurance or financial status ( for example this office takes medi -cal/ denti cal) And they have to put up with dental offices like this one. I will never allow my friend or family member to become a patient here but for people who do not have someone to advocate for them this is just sad! No matter your situation you deserve respect and dignity always! The person who answered the phone today does not know how insurance works which is a red flag for me ( It was as if she was pretending to know and mouthing off) she was instantly rude from the moment she answered the phone looking for confrontation! She also does not know who they refer out to when an issue arises that cannot be completed in their office.... what? Another red flag! (Of course they do you have a list! Every office does! They cant be disorganized like that... or are they! ... ? Another red flag) if she did not know the answers to my questions rather than mouthing off she could have let me know someone who does can call me back.. its pretty simple ! People need to ask questions about your practice to see if its a good fit for them get over yourself lady !if you do not like your job find a different job! Sounds like an office only interested in charging up bills for things you may not need. " oh we know nothing we are just in business" hmmm. The brief phone call only got worse from there.... " so sorry for bothering you" To the dentist :Unfortunately for you I will never know if you are a good dentist or not for my family member as I couldn't even get past the person answering your phones. Some unsolicited advice for you ... Please work to ensure your office staff knows how to treat people with respect and dignity and additionally ensure they are trained in insurance practices if that is what they are also there for. Your office staff is a reflection of you and your office as a whole I understand you may work with difficult people occasionally etc. but I was not one of them I was simply calling to inquire for a disabled family member of mine as to what services your office offers and I am appalled! We must treat all people with respect and dignity as human beings. Your office staff picked the wrong person to mouth off to today as I will not be spoken to that way nor will I be recommending ANY " Dental exspress" People of the general public: Beware and know there are resources for the information you may need such as asking your insurance carrier or the Dental board of California and no dental office should be hesitant to answer any questions you may have related to becoming a patient of theres ...they should be properly trained to assist and be respectful at all times! Do not let anyone be rude or push you around! Although it is the consumers part to educate themselves on their full insurance benefits there is no excuse for someone to be disrespectful to you. God forbid you need work done at this office just be sure to Ask for a "pre authorization " prior to completing ANY work especially major work because if the person who answered the phone today is doing your billing your in for a real treat ... I can only imagine! Literally! Well if they even know what a "pre auth. Is" read more

Can't really speak on the work of the dentists, but I found the customer service to be poor. The few times I called, I was polite and asked some simple questions and the lady answering the calls made it seem like I was a nuisance. Did everything she asked, sent in insurance card, filled out the registration form, tried responding back to their text line and no response. read more

Made an appointment for a simple Cleaning, Xrays and just a general overall evaluation but was so disappointed with this location. Walked in received nearly no acknowledgement like a simple good morning! Very unfriendly like they were not interested in gaining any additional clients. Turned around and walked out, never even saw the dentist! I'll keep going to TJ! They're friendly, inexpensive, great workmanship and EVERYTHING is taken care of for a great price. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy! read more

Im not the biggest dentist fan but this place makes it not so bad lol they have an amazing front desk - Whitney went out of her way to make sure I was very well taken care of - thank you!!!!! Dr. Jamie is a wonderful dentist ! I moved locations with the dentist to make sure I stayed with Dr. Jamie- thank you!!!! read more

The dentist and nurses are really nice, respectful, and know how to do their job. I am giving this company 3 stars because the receptionists at this company are terrible. They kept messing up my appointment dates. When my daughter had an appointment to see the dentist there they said she didn't have an appointment that day when she did have an appointment that day. Then when my daughter didn't have an appointment a certain day they would say she did when she didn't. Also my daughter asked the receptionist if she needed any pain pills after getting dental surgery done, and the receptionist said she doesn't need it. Also when she was in pain we did have to give her pain pills despite the receptionist saying she doesn't need it. Clearly the receptionists there are terrible at their job and they should have hired better employees in my opinion. read more

I recently moved to Escondido and had been going to a Dental Express location in San Diego, so I was happy to see that they had an office in the area too! I was pleasantly surprised by how nice everyone was (dare I say one of the best services I've received at any Dental Express location), from the front desk to the dentist himself! I get really nervous during dental appointments and they did everything they could to make me feel comfortable. They really walked me through my appointment and took the time to make sure I understood my insurance and what it was covering. Even though my mouth was numb at the end, I still left with a smile on my face! I don't usually write reviews, but felt compelled to write this one with such a great experience at a place that usually gives me a lot of anxiety. Highly recommend this location! read more

Dr Ferguson was amazing. 100% recommend this place. Great customer service they were super friendly. Even though I have a lot of anxiety usually at the dentist, I didn't this time. Definitely will go back read more

Everyone in the office was absolutely amazing. They made me feel very comfortable from the moment I called! This will be my dentist from now on. Dr. Jamies bedside manner is extraordinary, I am just blown away how at ease he put me during my procedure! read more

Went for a teeth clean about a month ago best result ever Very clean place and nice environment Omar was great and professional the staff is nice definitely recommend this place. read more

It was finally time for me to get my teeth cleaned.... I chose Dental Express and couldn't be happier! I visited the Escondido location and was immediately greeted by Ale at the front and she guided me through the different forms I needed to complete, super easy! I went to the back without waiting at all and was taken care of by a hygienist named Daniella (who was extremely nice and made the actual process of the cleaning pain free and efficient) and Dr. Jamie who made the usually nerve-wracking experience of going to the dentist turn into an easy going and informative visit. Afterwards, Kathy and Whitney made payment & scheduling my follow up appointment a breeze. My teeth feel great and I will be sure to return for my next visit in 6 months! read more

I purposely followed Dr Ferguson to this location from his previous. It is a longer drive for me and well worth the time. I trust him more than any other dentist I have ever had. If you are looking for compassion and kindness as well as excellent work, you have come to the right place. The support staff is also Amazing! Thank you to all, especially Omar for being patient and attentive. read more

Great staff, beautiful clean office with all new technology x ray equipment. I was totally impressed with them....

Went in today for the first time because I was in PAIN & the whole staff was amazing. The two ladies in the front were very sweet & welcoming. Omar did an amazing job on my cleaning & preparing me for my root canal, he always paused to ask if I was ok & was very attentive to everything I needed & said. If you don't understand anything they will make sure to explain clearly so that you do. Dr. was awesome as well I didn't even feel it when he numbed me up & that's hard to say dealing with me lol. Over all, I think I found myself the perfect dental office & will definitely be taking my kids there. read more

Outstanding service from the moment I arrived at the front door. All of the staff were super friendly. Dr. Jamie took amazing care of me. If you are looking for a new dentist, I would highly recommend giving them a call. read more

They do not work with small kids teeth the front staff was very nice. With an appointment they took about 2 hours they did nothing to my 4 yr old that just needs a sealants. Of course they took him in and took X-rays of his teeth and said no you have to go somewhere else. They should tell you before hand when u call that they don't do toddlers teeth. read more
