This is a long overdue review... Prior to seeing Dr Carstairs I was in the middle of moving to this area and trying to get an appointment from my former dentist because I had sharp pains coming from my back molar. Well, I moved and never was able to see my former dentist. Frantically I searched for a dentist by reading all the reviews online. I made an appointment and have not been disappointed. Dr Carstairs is professional, caring, and thorough. He answers all your questions and explains WHY. In addition, the entire staff is just a professional and caring as he is. read more

There's a reason Eclipse has so many 5-star reviews -- as a new patient, I have to share that they are one of the best dental practices I've ever visited. The office management staff went above and beyond to ensure all was in order for my new patient appointment. Upon arrival, everyone greeted me, introduced themselves, including Dr. Carstairs, his dental assistant Micki and my dental hygienist John. They all were super friendly, extremely thorough and welcomed me as a new patient. Without a doubt I will be back! And recommend them without hesitation. read more

I just saw Dr. Carstairs for an emergency appointment to recement a crown (that had been done several years ago by someone else.) He really took his time making sure it would fit correctly and hopefully be a long-lasting fix to avoid having to replace the crown too soon. His kind manner and expertise is always so comforting to me. I certainly made the best decision making Eclipse Dental and Dr. Carstairs and staff my dental home. read more

Do not understand why a business cannot return a simple phone call. Just wanted to find out if new patients are being accepted. Not even a call back. C'mon, I work in a facility with 150+ residents who all could use dental care, now I can pass the word on not to bother with this place. Be kind to others who need services, do not ignore phone calls. Had the same experience last year with this practice, thought we'd give them 1 more chance. Disgraceful. read more

I just saw Dr. Carstairs for my second appointment and I can say as a former dental assistant, he is the best in this valley! I have been looking for an excellent dentist here for ten years and I finally found him. He has a naturally calm and comforting personality and is an excellent technician as well. His staff is also lovely to deal with and a perfect compliment to him. So thrilled to have found my "dental home." Great job Dr. Carstair's and Staff! read more

Dr. Carstairs is wonderful..He will not tell you that you need dental work done Unless you truly do...he will make sure that you are completely satisfied with your dental experience... his kind and patient nature is very comforting for those who are anxious at a dental office..The gals that work there are equally terrific...give this office a try..you will be happy that you did! read more

I selected this dental office because of its excellent reviews, and it exceeded my expectations. Dr. Carstairs was informative, attentive, professional, friendly, and nice...as was the hygienist, John. I give this office the highest possible recommendation. read more

Thank you for the great work you did on my cracked denture It fits and feels better than when I first got them I will be back as a regular patient read more

Dr. Carstairs and his staff are very professional and caring. They just reopened after being in lockdown from COVID-19. Went today for my 6 month check-up and cleaning and they have their patients and staffs concern in mind, as many measures have been taken to keep everyone safe. I highly recommend Eclipse Dental. read more

Noticed my previous review is almost two years old. Nothing changed. Still five stars and a great place to go for dental treatment.

Dr. Carstairs is FANTASTIC!! I had the worse ever tooth ache on a Saturday. I didn't want to bother him on the weekend, but I decided to leave a message. He called back almost immediately and tried to diagnose the problem. He gave me a prescription that I had filled and it helped. Then, to my surprise, he called me on Sunday afternoon to follow up and invited me to come to his office where he did a very thorough exam. Another prescription and more improvement. WOW, a Saturday consultation and a SUNDAY office visit. I highly recommend Dr. Carstairs. He is very professional, knowledgeable and explains things thoroughly and in English. Can't imagine going anywhere else. Thank you Dr. Carstairs. read more

I have been in the field for 20 years and well aware of the good the bad and ugly. I worked for a general dentist for 15 years (also where all my treatment was done) and didn't think I would be able to find a dentist that would provide the same comfort. I FOUND HIM!! Love this office , their hygienist and especially Dr.Carstairs! His touch is gentle and his treatment request are conservative and precise. No nickel and diming or insurance tricks. Honest and trustworthy! If you have lost trust and confidence in your dentist you should give this office a call!! You will not be disappointed! read more

Most people hate going to the dentist, but honestly, I can't wait for my next appointment! I just had my first visit with Dr. Carstairs and he was wonderful...professional, caring, explaining everything very thoroughly and he is so kind. Assistant Mickey was also thoughtful and very nice. Being new to the area, I've had to establish relationships with all new doctors and I would recommend this office to anyone! This experience would be great for children or for anyone who was afraid of going to the dentist. Thank you... Joanie M. read more

Doctor Jamie Carstairs of Eclipse Dentistry has been taking care of our family dental needs for four or more years. We recommend him highly without reservation. He is a highly skilled dentist, employing the latest knowledge and technical skills available in his profession, coupled with his unquestionable ethics and sincere caring manner. In true emergency situations, he has repeatedly gone beyond the call of duty. His office staff, assistants and hygienists display these same attributes. Bob and Cidny read more

I went to Eclipse Dentistry after reading the positive reviews on Yelp. So glad I did! I needed a cleaning after not being able to schedule with my regular dentist. Dr Carstairs actually took the time to sit down and talk with me before doing x-rays, cancer screening and pictures. Then he went over everything thoroughly and discussed some concerns and options before cleaning my teeth. He was very gentle and the whole experience was comfortable and painless. The staff was friendly and professional and had contacted my insurance so were able to tell me any costs that would be associated with treatments. I've already scheduled my next appointment with them. read more

I do not like going to the dentist, at all. However these folks take the time to make you feel comfortable. I highly recommend them!!

I live in Orange County, but drive all the way to the desert to see Dr. Carstairs. By far, he is the best dentist that I have ever gone to see. Dr. Carstairs is professional, pleasant and very knowledgeable. Luckily, I've only needed to have cleanings, xrays, and exams by him, but if I ever did need more, I would trust him completely. He also has a clean office and clean examination rooms, which is always a major plus! read more

I was recommended to Dr. Carstairs and of course waited until I had an urgent problem. They were so kind and got me right in. Took the time to sit down and talk to me. I'm not a great fan of dentists but felt very comfortable with Dr. Carstairs and his staff. I actually made another appointment without being prompted. I recommend this dentist and how professional they were. Very nice, clean office and they were very prompt getting me in. read more

This is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. Dr. Carstairs is charismatic, engaging, and if that's not enough, quite a good dentist. I never plan to go anywhere else. read more

I needed a new dentist in this area and chose Eclipse from an ad they had placed in the Sun City Shadow hills community magazine. Dr Carstairs is very personable and really has your best interest in mind. He does a very comprehensive exam and cleaning and doesn't oversell anything as a lot of dentists do. He goes over everything with you from the X-rays to photos of your teeth to show you where potential problems are. I highly recommend his practice. He is from the Coachella Valley and really cares about his patients read more

Coachella Valley locals, if you are in need of a wonderful dentist, go to Eclipse Dentistry in La Quinta. My tooth broke the Friday before Memorial Weekend and of course most dental places had already closed or was not available until 5 days later. Luckily my bestfriend recommended Dr. Carstairs at Eclipse Dentistry in La Quinta. The awesome Renee answered the phone and was able to book an appointment for me that day. The office is impeccably clean and bright, not your typical gloomy dental office. Dr. Carstairs had great bedside manners and was able to calmly settle my nerves since I get anxious with any kind of dental work done on me. He was fast and efficient and yes, I did not feel any pain with putting a new temporary crown on my tooth. Thank you Renee and Dr. Carstairs for the quick fix on my tooth and for saving me from having a terrible toothache for the 3 day weekend. Would recommend this place to my friends and relatives. read more
