Terrific, professional, and very congenial staff from full office support (to endure administrative hassles of dental insurance on your behalf), to comprehensive dental care and excellent referrals in the event any specialized dental procedures are necessary. Our family continues to benefit from Dr. Pastore's practice after many, many years. *special shout-out to Dr. Pastore, Elise, Jill, and Nicole for their consistent and reliable services :) * read more

I am happy to write this review giving my highest recommendation for Dr. Pastore and his staff. I originally found Dr. Pastore for my husband who has a big aversion to going to the dentist. He has been going to see Dr. Pastore for the past few months and he raves to me about him, how professional, caring, and patient-first oriented he and his staff are. I went for a cleaning today (Ray did my cleaning - He is awesome!) and I agree wholeheartedly. It was an amazing experience. When I shared my experience with my husband, he said "I told you so" as if he originally recommended Dr. Pastore to me. Well, the fact that we both want to get credit for finding him speaks to our extremely positive experience. I have been to at least 3 other dental offices in the past few years where I literally walked out during the appointment due to them hard-selling me and trying to convince me I needed unnecessary procedures to earn a buck. If you want a dentist who has integrity and cares about his patients, choose Dr. Pastore and his staff. You won't be disappointed! read more

It's so hard finding a good dentist that you can trust and feel comfortable with. Dr. Pastore is that guy for sure. His office, specifically Elise, was so helpful with scheduling and even worked with me and my crazy schedule. I had two fillings and Dr. Pastore made sure to explain everything he was doing step by step and let me know what I would need done in the future, followed by a printed treatment plan so I would know and be able to plan ahead. His assistant, Nicole was so sweet and made me feel super comfortable while I was sitting with gauze in my mouth. Getting drilled at is never a fun time, but this office made it as enjoyable as it could be and I was quick to schedule everything else I needed done. Definitely recommend to all! read more

Dr. Pastore and his staff are amazing. We have been coming here a few years and recently my husband started having tooth pain and he wound up having a tooth break. Dr. Pastore met us at the office and repaired his tooth. It wound up being a significant repair, but he did it without a moment's hesitation, on his day off. The next day he even called my husband to check up on him. It is rare to have a dentist or any doctor call personally to check up on you, but it is so reassuring. read more

Dr. Pastore and Nicole and Hygienist Ben and new office lady Melissa are OUTSTANDING !!!! I had my first cleaning with Ben and was great.Dr Pastore has always been a great Dentist and Nicole is the best dental assistant ever.Never was big on Dental work but now wish I could see them more often..... read more

My husband and I moved from Iowa where we had a wonderful dentist. I could write a book on the horrible experiences we both had trying to find a dentist in California. We tried at least four before someone told us about Dr Pastore in Menifee. Happy faces. He and his staff are simply WONDERFUL. I carry his cards with me to give to people he is so competent and trustworthy. Also his cost doesn't break the bank as my husband and I do not have dental insurance. We feel so blessed to have found a dentist we can truly trust and one that makes us feel so comfortable. Again happy faces read more

I've got a beautiful new smile thanks to Dr. Pastore! Truly a genuine caring dentist that makes sure you are comfortable and not in any pain. He follows up with a phone call to make sure that you are doing well. I've had been traumatized by dentists when I was younger, finding a dentist who can put your fears at ease is very important to me. Dr. Pastore is great! His office staff is THE BEST! Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

WOW!! THAT'S THE ONLY WAY i CAN BEGIN TO EXPRESS ABOUT THIS DENTIST WITH HANDS OF AN ANGEL! Dr Pastore has been the most ethical and the best chair side manners ever! He is very easy to vent stress about the built up the edge of going thru dental treatment. Remember, going to the dentist is nerve recking, even the anticipation of knowing your are going to dental visit the night before. (Loose sleep just thinking axiety.) But once you get there and meet Dr. Pastore, the edge is completetly gone. All that work up for nothing. He is very soft, gentle conservite and prices and not rediculous. I have been in the dental field as Regional director for over 30 officesfor a very reputable dental corporation, and also in my 19 years of dental. I HAVE NEVER MET AN AWSOME DENTIST AS HIM !! HE IS QUALITY AND NOT QUANTITY !! AND LET'S NOT FORGET PAINLESS FAST PROCEEDURES. THANK YOU DR. FRANK PASTORE FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCES EVER! Also to his warm staff Ms Elise (Front Office) and Ms Nicole (Back office.) awsome custumer service and never a wait time. read more

You should stop reading and book your appointment now. Dr. Pastore and his team are nothing short of amazing. I am one of those skeptics when it comes to any kind of doctors and hospitals but Dr. Pastore definitely changed my view. There is a higher level of care and kindness in this practice and they go out of their way to check your situation and actively improve it. Thank you guys. read more

Having a profound fear of Dental work allowed me to seriously delay a visit to the dentist. WHAT A MISTAKE. Dr and his staff are excellent professionals. He takes time to explain your conditions and listens to you as to what course of action to pursue. Highly recommend. read more

Dr Pastore is the best Dentist by far ! This is a no nonsense dentist. You will Not be required to have procedures That are not truly necessary ie(deep tissue cleaning,etc) the staff is friendly And very professional. The office is beautiful. I have been to other dental offices in the Area. I was treated rudely, I did not see A dentist until after a financial advisor Went over the cost ! I am extremely happy to say I have a dentist that I love to go to and will continue to see & refer to everyone read more

Big shout-out for Dr. Frank Pastore and his excellent team. I had several prior bad experiences with dentists where I suffered a great deal of pain. When I went in to get my front tooth crown replaced, I was very anxious. However, Frank's bedside manner put me at ease. He was calm and explained everything he was doing or going to do. He numbed me up so good I never felt any pain. My new front tooth looks great and is comfortable. Frank's attention to detail and professionalism sets him apart from the competition. I would trust Frank with myself and my family for all future dental work. read more

I came in to get some dental work finished after my deployment to Iraq. I called and got an appointment within the month. I am very pleased with the dental work done and the time it took to complete it. It's a very friendly atmosphere and close to where I live. Even better I had ceramic crowns CNC machined and they fit great. Overall great service, attitude, and timing! read more

I am very happy to write a review for Dr Pastore and his staff. I struggled with my teeth for years and had almost given up on ever smiling again. My husband was deployed overseas and I wanted to find a new dentist in hopes of surprising him on his return. After one visit I knew that Dr Pastore could give me the smile I always hoped for. He is gentle, caring and truly concerned about his patients well being. I am over the top happy with my new smile and my friends and family are amazed. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Frank Pastore and his staff! I avoided the dentist for about 3 years and was so apprehensive about coming in. I used to go to another dentist in Menifee years ago but I decided to switch and I am SO glad I did. Not only does he make you feel really comfortable, he is also extremely honest. In the past I have spent hundreds of dollars on gum treatments from the other dentist that told me I needed it. He took one look at my gums and said I wasn't even a candidate for gum treatments! It's so nice to finally be told the truth and not have to be upsold unnecessarily just to get the business more money. I just went in for a fill on a cavity this morning and it was seriously the easiest fill I've ever had! I go in next week to fill the other three and I know my experience will be the same! I cannot wait to make this dentist my permanent location and I won't be as nervous to come for my 6 month check ups anymore! I highly highly recommend him! Thank you SO much!! read more

Dr. Pastore took over Donald Cogan's practice. As a longtime client of Dr. Cogan, I was apprehensive about working with a different dentist, but he quickly turned me into a fan. Dr. Pastore is a skilled dentist, up to date with the latest techniques and makes you feel very much at ease. I recommend him highly. read more

Switched from one of those dental group offices- what a dramatic improvement!

a bit of a drive for our family, but we are SO happy we found Dr. Pastore - well worth an extra 20 minutes in the car. i needed a lot of dental work and we got it done quickly, painlessly, and my teeth feel awesome - no more sensitivity when i eat ice cream! read more

Dr. Pastore has to be one of the best dentist I've ever seen. He is so personable and treats you like family. The entire staff is great. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for a dentist that seems to really care about you. Having a professional who gives his all. My thanks to all of you that I came in contact with. I truly had a relaxing and great experience! Especially for all the work I had done. read more

AH MAY ZING Dentist and staff! I LOVE getting my teeth cleaned and my check-ups with Dr. Pastore and highly recommend his office for all your dental health needs. He is gentle, he explains what he's doing as he goes along, he is skilled in root canals and crowns and your smile, short-term and long-term, is his main priority! I love it that Dr. Pastore and his staff makes me feel like I'm their only patient for the day, a VIP. read more

This was by far the best dentistry office we have been to. After having a few problems with other practices, we finally tried Dr. Pastore and were very glad we did. The entire team is helpful and friendly. Highly recommended! read more

Love this place, great staff, unfortunately they quit taking my Tricare Delta Dental military insurance which is the only insurance offered to me as retired military. So much for supporting the troops. read more

I called to seek information about scheduling an appointment for a check up for my 4yr old and 2yr old. This dentist has great reviews on YELP and was listed as a children's / family dentist so I was quite excited to call. When I called I was welcomed with a total slimy/ make it up(WHEEL & DEAL) as you go response regarding how much an exam, with xrays and cleaning would cost. I was asked multiple times about my insurance and felt degraded for responding that we have no dental insurance. The receptionist then responded with maybe it would be best if you had a visual exam since you do not have insurance. I politely responded that I was interested in a standard 6mth routine check up exam that includes evaluation, xrays, & cleaning. The receptionist had to use an adding machine to total up my fee from her "PRICE SHEET" Quoted price $281 per child minimum. WOWW!!!! read more

This is the best dental office I have ever been to. The wait time is at most 3 minutes. He answers any questions and makes you feel comfortable. The staff is so very friendly. I wish I came here sooner. read more

I absolutely love this office! We have been patients for a few years now and we've never had a bad experience. The staff is personable and fun. Dr. Pastore has a great bedside manner and gets along with all ages. Even my kids who range from 15-23 years enjoy going to the dentist. That says it all right there . read more

Dr. Pastore is the reason I can smile with confidence today. I neglected my teeth for so many years, and the decay got so bad, I avoided smiling or getting too close to people. Dr. Pastore convinced me that I could take baby steps and he would go slow, but get the work done painlessly and professionally. That is exactly what he is doing and I trust and respect his skills and his advice in terms of my teeth. It is a miracle that my fears about going to the dentist are slowly going away. It's all due to Dr. Pastore's gentle way of doing the procedures and his very compassionate staff. Thank you very , very much read more

Dr. Pastore was great! My front tooth has had permanent discoloration, I couldn't fully smile for pictures, and was constantly insecure about it. They got me right in quickly, the staff all happy and caring, doing a professional job with a warm welcome feel. I received a veneer to blend the tooth in with the same color as the rest, while still looking natural. Dr. Pastore did a phenomenal job! I am so grateful for his and his staff's services and talent. I am smiling bigger than I ever have! read more

Dr. Pastore and his staff are very kind, and caring. I have been treated by Dr. Pastore for several years and he truly is honest and helps put patient concerns at ease! My dental hygienist, Nikki, was very friendly and personable! I would definitely recommend Pastore Dental Care to anyone that is looking for great dental care. 100% satisfied with the care I receive! read more

Went in for a cleaning and to check out the office for future dental work. It was super clean, the staff was very friendly and Dr Pastore was very informative. I will be going back! read more

Went there when I had a wisdom tooth that was bugging me last year. He sent me to a dentist in Murrieta for the extraction. However I was very impressed with him and his staff. They all took the time to connect beyond the just being polite and professional point. I will certainly be back at some point, maybe a year or two, but in the meantime I'd like others to know this is a great place to go to. Rarely do I find businesses like this. read more

Moved here from Seattle last year and had no local recommendations for dentists. Found Dr. Pastore by chance while shopping at Rite Aid next door. I highly recommend Dr. Pastore; he's talented and skilled and his staff is very friendly and competent. Major insurance(s) accepted and fees for treatment(s) seem well within reason, especially compared to fees for similar services that I paid in the past. read more

My upper partial broke awhile back, and I'd been putting off going to the dentist because I knew the probable course of action was to extract my few (very few!) remaining natural upper teeth and have an upper denture made. I finally got tired of putting up with the adhesives, discomfort, inconvenience, etc, and visited Dr. Pastore. He took the time to explain in great detail the procedure and what I could honestly expect with regard to recovery and life with a new denture. The extractions were quick and very painless, and Dr. Pastore adjusted the denture as needed to improve the fit. It's been a week and a half and I am so happy! I am chewing better each day as my gums heal. My wife loves my new smile! Just how good is Dr. Pastore? I would see him even if I had to pay completely out of my own pocket, he is that good! I recommend him and his staff without reservation. Thank you for helping me smile again! read more

I haven't been to the dentist for quite a few years and thus was quite nervous. The facility was small, warm, and clean upon walking in. I made an appointment, and was seen immediately upon filling out paperwork, no waiting. After xrays were done with a very nice and gentle technician, Dr. Pastore came in right away to begin the exam. Again, i was pleasantly surprised. To my fear, I need a lot of work done. Dr. Pastore was taking his time examining each tooth and was very comforting. He recommended what needed to be done first and what could wait because my insurance was limited. He didn't pressure me or guilt tripping me into doing anything I didnt need to do. He was very gentle, took time, and polite. I also have to make sure to mention the front desk woman, Elise. She was comforting, helpful, and took her time explaining all the finances to me. I felt like I was talking to a family member, not a receptionist! Thank you for everything! I will recommend anyone I know looking for dentist to your office. Its rare to find such an establishment these days that actually cared! read more
