LOVE Dr Holly!! Amazing dentist! Super kind, friendly, and professional. I was referred to him by a friend who has been seeing him since she was little; so happy to get this referral being from out of town. read more

Dr Holly and his staff are excellent. They are committed to perfection in dentistry. At the same time the clients comfort and satisfaction are always a priority. I recommend them highly. read more

I just recently moved and am missing this dental office. They take such good care and the prices are so reasonable.

Very good dentist and excellent staff. Teeth cleaning very thorough. Positive experience

I've been going here since I was a teenager, and they are the best! Dr. Holly is the best!! Surprisingly I am still afraid of the dentist (fillings make me really uncomfortable) I let the guy working on me know that and he did such an amazing job of calming me down and actually over come my fear (almost) of fillings!! Like extra mile with breathing exercises and making it seem like no big deal. The whole staff is amazing, kind people. read more

Dr. Holly is kind, caring and does excellent work! Honest and practical, he is always looking for what is best for the patient and the health of their teeth. read more

Best dentist in San Diego. So friendly and knowledgeable. He is upfront with all his work and you can trust him to do the right thing for your teeth. Dr Holly has a friendly staff and clean office. Overall a great dental experience. read more

Dr Holly is highly tuned to his practice. He provides the up most care for his patients. I have been with Dr Holly for the past 2.6 years and I plan to remain in his care. He is definitely the best! Bob Bower read more

Dr. Holly and staff are the absolute best. They always make me feel so welcome and I love how conservative Dr. Holly is with your natural teeth. He is all about wanting to preserve and maintain what you already have!! He is not in it for the upcharge. :) read more

Dr. Holly and his team are by far the best. I have never had a better experience than I have at this office. They care, they're fun and they don't try to scam you out of unnecessary procedures or products. For the first time in my life I actually like going to the dentist. 10/10. read more

I can't recommend Dr. Holly & his entire staff highly enough. Dr. Holly is the most skilled professional; what he had done for me over the years is nothing short of artwork. Dr. Holly has been my dentist for over 25 years and I trust him completely. He is kind and gentle and has State-of-the-Art equipment. His assistant Sharon is just as kind and professional as Dr. Holly. He's a surfer, hitting the waves every morning so he is super-healthy and a joy to be around. Their offices are bright, clean and modern and from the front desk to the dental chair I feel very safe and cared-for. I trust he will NEVER retire, thanks Dr. Holly!! Sincerely, Liz Jardine read more

I'd like to preface this by saying that I've been to quite a few dentists, and most recently saw one who proposed a $30k treatment plan (invisalign, veneers, 8 inlays because standard fillings won't suffice, a new crown, botox injections in my jaw....). Fast forward to today when I went for a second opinion consultation with Dr. Holly after a glowing recommendation from friends. Turns out I only have 2 cavities which can be filled in a traditional manner. It will cost me a couple hundred out of pocket versus a minimum of $10k from the other dentist to address the cavities, 6 of which don't actually exist. Dr. Holly did additional x-rays to be 100% sure he didn't miss anything and was able to confirm the other dentist was completely scamming me. If you are looking for a dentist with a long-standing practice, integrity, and an exceptional staff, please visit this office. Take it from someone who's been through the grinder! Thank you from the bottom of my heart (and teeth), Dr. Holly and staff! read more

Ed is always SUPER kind and easy going. Sent in by a Nazarene connection. Love his attitude and the way he will make you feel calm and relaxed. My crown was 2k and broke 13 months later. I went to TJ and got it done for $500 from a reputable dentist. Timeline is important here because I have: Eight years and that porcelain crown hasn't had a problem. Great Staff!!!! Friendly office! read more

I wholly recommend going to Dr. Holly. I called them this morning because a filling in my molar came off and I had a gaping hole. They fit me in the same day's schedule and got it fixed right away. Dr. Holly is caring and attentive to your needs. He worked efficiently and quickly to get my molar fixed. The staff is also kind and upbeat. Honestly, this was one of the best dental visits I have ever had and I will continue to come back for any routine visits. read more

My family and I have been patients of Ed Holly's for decades! I have never once been able to finish even 1/2 of a magazine article while in the waiting room! I wish they could bottle their precision and customer service with respect to tending to patients almost as quickly as they arrive. I have never laughed in a doctor's office as much as I have in Ed's chair, always up for a good or great conversation, or even a lively debate on taboo subjects such as religion and politics. I'm not sure we've ever completely agreed on either, but those exchanges have been some of the most pure and true i've ever had on those two topics. If you serve it up, Ed will volley it back with humor and anecdotes to spare. He's the best at those horrible numbing needle shots in the mouth! how can ANYONE be the best at THAT?! He listens...I do my research ahead of time, tell him what i want for myself and my children when there are options, and even if he doesn't completely agree, he defers with respect. His support staff, while bringing their own unique gifts and talents to the practice, work hard and each tries their best to accommodate any need one might have, whether it be emotional, psychological or physical. This office has always had the top-of-the-line, cutting edge equipment, and we appreciate Ed's interest in staying current. He is passionate about what he does, but more than that, he is passionate about people, he cares and expects to maintain an office that leaves people with that truth. My kids LOVE going to the dentist, they have NEVER once balked at the mention of an appointment...that says about all anyone needs to know! read more

There is nothing better than a great honest Dr! I took my 88 year old mother there after some "Quack" tried to get her $7500! I found the Dr.Holly and his staff to be the Best! GREAT WORK! My mom need very little work done and he was so kind and understanding with her. My mom has Parkingson's and I just cant say enough about what a truly good soul and Dentist he is! Thank you so much Dr.Holly! read more

Dr. Holly and his hygienists are as good as it gets for a dental office. I've been going for years and am always impressed. While I can't say I'll ever love having dental work done, I don't mind it much any more. I also appreciated how conservative in treatment Dr. Holly is. Aboout 15 years ago, I went to one dentist in San Diego who decided I had 5 cavities that needed filling, despite the fact that I hadn't had any before or since. I know I can trust Dr. Holly to do only work that I really need. Plus he's really nice, as are his hygienists. Highly recommended. read more

My sole problem is with billing. My wife went in for an exam and that went fine. When she was asked if she need a service, she declined and was billed any way. When she called back to the office to sort it out, she was told that oh well it was what i was told to do and it has already been billed. I have tried to contact the office and to no avail. The woman in charge of billing just snubbed it off and did not try to help out with resolving the issue with my wife. Update: they took awesome care of us. They resolved the situation with no issues. read more

Friendly, professional, knowledgeable but puts you at ease. My sons, daughter in law and I have been patients for more than 20 years! I had a tooth ache over the weekend and he got me in when I got off work to relieve my toothache! Painless root canal! Sharon and Dr Holly work seamlessly and effortlessly! Debbie made me feel welcomed and not a burden keeping them late. Sharon, hygienist, is gentle, listens and so kind. Thank you for always taking care of all of us! I'm forever indebted and would refer to Dr. Holly for any and all your dental needs! 5+ star treatment! read more

THE absolute best dentist! My wife and I have been lucky to have Dr. Holly as our dentist for about 5 years now and he not only knowledgeable and experienced but his joy lights up the room. We love how much he cares for each patient and you can tell he really enjoys his work. We could not recommend Dr. Holly and his staff more! read more

We moved to San Diego in 1997 and Dr. Ed Holly was recommended to us by our neighbor, a prominent surgeon. Whole family has been going to Dr. Holly now for 22 years and we are huge fans. Our son, now 32, was about 12 when he smashed his face with the handle of a pogo stick, blood everywhere, leaving his front four teeth at bad angles. Called Dr. Holly and he said bring him right in immediately and his staff moved scheduled appointments to allow him to save the teeth. Just one example of his care and concern. He was also very kind to my 92 year old mom as her teeth declined. Can we offer 6 stars ? read more

Best dentist I've EVER been to, and I'm very picky about dentists. He does crowns right in his office (instead of sending them out to have a lab make them) with this special high-tech machine. They're much better than the ones the labs turn out. Mine fit perfectly, straight out of the machine, and didn't even need to be adjusted at all. Looks like a real tooth. You can't tell its a crown by looking at it, and I can't tell the difference in it and any of my other teeth, except that it looks perfect. The hygenists are all great too read more

I have been going to Dr. Holly since 1988. He is the absolute best dentist hands-down. He tells you the truth about what needs to be done. He's had the same office staff this entire time and that says a lot. The office is immaculate and Dr. Holly has a way of making it relatively painless. They truly care about their patients. My husband was terrified of going to the dentist...had put it off for years. He now goes in regularly to see Dr. Holly. He still doesn't love it, but he feels comfortable with Dr. Holly and his assistant Sharon. I have many friends who also see Dr. Holly. Even if I moved out of San Diego, I would still try to keep Dr. Holly as my dentist. read more

There is nothing that I like better than efficiency. I went in for a scheduled tooth cleaning. The dentist discovered two cavities. Rather than force me to make another appointment and miss another day of work, they took care of it right then. I felt minimal pain. It took about an hour, and then I was finished. I am so glad to have found a dentist that cares about patients more than money. read more

I've now been back to Dr. Holly for many other procedures, and I am still absolutely thrilled with how great he's been! He's very chill & hilarious, and he makes dental work (which I've always dreaded) something I actually don't mind anymore! Honestly, I've never been this happy with a dentist, and I've seen LOTS of dentists in my life. If you live in San Diego, you should be seeing Dr. Holly for all your dental needs. I can't imagine that there is a better option for dental work out there. I may not know a lot about other subjects, but being that I'm only 24 and have been through more dental work than some people have in a lifetime, I'd trust me on this one. ;) read more

I don't particularly like dentists (who does?), and had an absolutely terrible experience with a DHMO dentist last summer (tried to charge me $2,800 for cavities that didn't exist!). I finally bit the bullet (no pun intended) and decided to try again, and upon many recommendations made an appointment with Dr. Holly. It was amazing! The staff was friendly, the facilities were clean, the service was professional, and he was everything I was hoping to find in a dentist - someone who doesn't just stick a piece of metal in your mouth and charge you money for it, but who actually explains what's going on, and doesn't gratuitously cause pain. I will be returning to Dr. Holly's office so long as I live in San Diego. read more

I moved my parents down from the SF Bay Area and they were having difficulty finding a good dentist. They were referred to Dr. Holly after my dad has been suffering from a toothache which other doctors could not remedy. Dr. Holly did a complicated root canal on another tooth which he determined could be the problem and sure enough after the root canal my dad is pain free. Dr. Holly is patient, personable and a great dentist. read more

I came to Dr. Holly's office after having a few bad experiences with other dentists in the San Diego area. I was very pleased that the office was able to take me as a new patient and on fairly short notice for a bad tooth ache. Immediately after getting to the office I felt very welcomed and cared for. The very friendly and funny staff at this office was top notch in every way and was readily available for any questions or concerns that I had. Meeting Dr. Holly was a pleasure as he was very friendly, funny and attentive to my issue. After my assessment, it was determined that I needed a root canal. Everything Dr. Holly and his staff did was explained in detail and I wasn't left clueless about anything being done to my teeth. The entire experience felt like first class and I was even given a set of headphones with music to help drown out the sound of the tooth drill. Throughout the entire procedure they made every effort to ensure that I was in good shape and not in pain. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this dentist to anyone in need of quality care. I felt more like family than a patient or customer during my visit. Dr. Holly and his staff are obviously very passionate about what they do. I couldn't be more grateful for the experience. read more

Dr. Holly and his staff are AMAZING. He is honest, funny, (surfs every morning!), does great work, does not do unnecessary procedures and is very personable. His staff and hygienists are really good and personable too. I have been a patient of Dr. Holly's for 10 years and have stuck with him even though my family now lives in North County. He is worth the drive. Clean office, professional, and highly recommended. A lot of friends of ours are also patients of Dr. Holly's as well as coworkers, and everyone has had nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Holly's office over all these years. read more

Dr. Holly is an amazing dentist and human being. I have been going to Dr. Holly for over 12 years. He has worked on a number of issues and has always done an amazing job. I have moved some distance from Dr. Holly and I still refuse to see another dentist as Dr. Holly may be the best in the business. Try him for yourself, although prepare to wait some time as he seems to be mighty popular and an appointment could take a month or more to schedule, but it is well worth the wait. read more

He is the best dentist I ever went too. My boyfriend says that too! He's funny, professional, surfs and gives you your choice of music to listen too. His staff is outstanding too! If you don't have insurance, they'll work with you. I have insurance and referred people who had no insurance and hadn't been to the dentist in many years! He truly cares, and his staff too. :) read more

Dr. Holly is amazing! His work is gentle, he is patient with those of us who are nervous about dental work, and he always thoroughly explains what he is doing and why. After several years with him I made the mistake of switching to a dentist in East County who was in my insurance network, thinking I would save money. When the new crown fell off (after only 3 months!) and the bites weren't right, Dr. Holly took care of me right away and never blamed me for temporarily choosing a different dentist. The repairs barely cost me anything (I had already used up all of my coverage for the year). Dr. Holly now has my business for as long as he is in practice! read more

dr. holly is an absolute genius! i just had a root canal 2 hours ago and i can say it was almost pleasant. not entirely pleasant, it was a root canal after all. but he is patient and gentle, and truly a master of his craft. i have spent many years as a patient of dr. holly, as well as three generations of my family. recently, my insurance changed and he is no longer covered under my plan. but when i needed someone who would do outstanding and kind work, i went back to him and paid out of pocket. it was worth every penny! read more

I have been going to Dr Holly for well over 10 years. I moved to Washington State for about 3 years and had to use other dentists. They even commented on the nice work he did on several of my teeth. No other dentist even comes close to his skills and his personality is amazing! He is the ONLY dentist I feel completely comfortable using. Sharon and Debbie, his office staff are very awesome as well. I feel like I am visiting friends everytime I go. I have been trying to convince him that he can't retire until I am gone from this earth, as he is irreplaceable! What a blessing! I am a big baby when it comes to dental work, and I never feel the shots he has to give me. I just shut my eyes and listen to the music he puts on the earphones he lets me use. He never does work that I don't need and he is very reasonably priced. Dr Holly, I hope you live to the ripe age of 100 and keep up your practice!!! read more
