Their office was recommended by a close friend who goes here. I booked an initial consultation over a month out. Unfortunately, my appointment was cancelled the morning of my appointment due to miscommunication between the staff. The treatment coordinator, Ilene, was so rude and condescending to me that I can not in good faith work with this office going forward. Any points she had about why my appointment needed to be cancelled at the last minute were lost by her inconsiderate tone. I hope she was just having a bad day and that she doesn't treat others the way I was treated. Such a bummer because I was really looking forward to working with them.

AMAZING! This is…read morethe best word I can use! Dr Gray is the most pleasant and considerate dentist I have ever met. His team from the dental hygienists to the specialty staff including Carla and Betty and all of the wonderful people that work there are so calming and make you feel like you are truly the only patient they have in the office that day. Dr Gray has been our dentist for many many years and then we needed more extensive work done. Our son needed implants and he treated him like he was his own son. It was so reassuring. Then i needed some work done and recognizing I have a very low tolerance for pain the team educated me on sedation and it was the perfect solution for me. Dr Gray even texts you in the evening of your procedure to see how you are feeling - what a great customer service from a dentist. And to tell you they have the best front office person does not seem enough. Robert is so friendly and always has a smile on his face. He recognizes everyone when they walk in the door and says hello by their name. So wonderful! If you need a dentist for a child to grandma, Dr. Gray and his team are there for you. They truly make going to the dentist the best it can possibly be. It is the "little" things like coffee and water in the lobby to the toothbrush package when you leave to the hugs when you are down or scared - they have it all. Thank you team for being the absolute best. They are now a part of our extended family although they may not know that yet. Lol. We will never go anywhere else.

I was with Dr. Gray for about 17 years.I had come to him after a string of bad dentists.It was a…read morefantastic experience.Until Espire got into the picture.I have Ehlers Danlos, so he'd done extensive work on my teeth. Good work.Love the staff. More recently, I went in for a check up and had he said the rear, upper molar had to be removed.It wasn't giving me an issue.He said it was pretty loose.it didn't feel loose and no nerve issues. Nothing.I trusted him. I let him know I had surgery the day after next. He said that was fine. I was leery, but he said it wouldn't be a problem.I had waited 3 months for the surgery date and was in pain,I didn't want to screw it up. For 45 minutes he worked away at it.I had a migraine that would not stop.I hadn't had 1 in years.He was upset bc he was behind on schedule.He stopped & went 2 c other patients then came back and gave me more shots.He'd been trying to rush through it, so that meant less pain shots,I was making a lot of noise.I'd never felt pain on any of the other root canals he'd given me.He was stressed.He'd said something to his assistant about how it had been 45m & had a stressed tone.It wasn't very caring about how I was feeling under the drill. I had tears coming down my cheeks,I had 2 keep demanding more numbing shots, something I'd never had to do before. I was in so much pain.That tooth had been solid-that's why it took so long to come out. I was going into surgery in something like 30 hrs, so I wouldn't be able to get any dental surgery done for a while because I had to be off my knee replacement for months. Knowing that, he should have just not done anything at all. It was not hurting. So I left with a deep,wide-open hole in my gum. Went home, took migraine medication and went to sleep. Next day the migraine was still pounding and my face hurt.I kept the lights out and stayed in bed. My husband made me soup for dinner and I went back to sleep. I'd been in so much pain before and in the morning. We got up at 3:30 to arrive at 5:45 preop. I didn't put on makeup and was too frantic to even look in a mirror.It was still dark when we left. The doctor dropped in to see me before surgery.He asked if everything was okay at home.I didn't understand what he was talking about. My hair covers my eye over right cheek (under Gray had been working on my tooth), the device 2 keep mouth open was pinching pretty bad.I let him know, but nothing changed.It was so unlike any treatment I'd received before from Dr. Gray, who was always asking if I was comfortable. The surgeon explained I had a black eye. I was shocked and explained I had tooth surgery.I went to look in a mirror,it was angry green, blue and black. My mouth was hurting a great deal, not ideal for surgery.I shouldn't have had the tooth removed with a major surgery right on top of it. I had a huge gaping hole in my moth for many months, having to clean out the food that got in. That tooth should have never come out. Espire, a company that sends spam to any patient who has an email-do not give them an email!I had to keep calling them and telling the office to remove my email every month.It's all about marketing & getting you back in the chair w/Espire.I loathed the birthday/holiday notices they kept sending to my family-why do we care (that not even Dr. Gray, but Espire wishes us a happy birthday?). They were sending my 81-year-old mother notices - my mother had major work done on her teeth with Dr. Gray. It was tens of thousands of dollars and she was so happy with the result.She was thrilled with Dr. Gray. I received a refund that they had overcharged her after her death. Unfortunately, Dr. Gray's office has always had an issue with overcharging and I had to keep following up to get money back, they'd always say it was the insurance company.I'd have to pull the insurance company into it to get the money back.I always spent more time trying to get money back than time in the chair.It was frustrating.But, Dr. Gray was worth it. I spoke with someone who knows about Espire who says they increase the number of patients (one of the draws of belonging to the network is they have a ton of $ to put into Internet advertising, but Espire gets a lot of $).I think the relationship encourages a quota-like system. I trusted Dr. Gray.I never had that tooth replaced because I just can't go through finding another dentist at this time,though my jaw still hurts. Personally,I believe this happened because of their affiliation with Espire.It was busier than I ever saw. Seats full, lobby busy.No time to take time.I'd never seen him so stressed.When I do find another dentist, it won't be with an office affiliated with Espire.

I was a patient at La Mesa Dental Artistry years ago, working with Dr. Rebecca Wachtel, Sarah, and…read moreher other amazing staff during what was a genuinely traumatic time in my life. I had lost several front teeth and needed implants, and Dr. Wachtel handled the whole process with such warmth and compassion that it made an overwhelming situation feel manageable. She clearly cared about getting the outcome right -- not just functionally, but in a way that restored my confidence. Dr. Wachtel has since moved on, and the staff from my time there has likely turned over completely -- but what impressed me recently is that the current team was just as wonderful. When I reached out years later needing help obtaining my old records for an ongoing medical case, they were responsive, helpful, and went out of their way to assist me without hesitation. That kind of continuity of care and genuine helpfulness -- even for a patient from years ago with a completely different team -- says a lot about the culture this practice has maintained. Highly recommend.

Best Dentist Experience Ever - Allison Avenue Dental in La Mesa is Truly Exceptional!…read more My entire family of 5 (me, my husband, and our three kids ranging from toddler to teenager) have been patients at Allison Avenue Dental for a while now, and I can honestly say it's the best dental practice we've ever been to. Everyone there is incredibly patient and thorough. They never rush you and they take the time to explain everything in detail - not just "you need this done," but the why, the benefits, and all your options. It feels like true education instead of a sales pitch, which makes you feel respected and in control of your own care. The front desk staff (shout-out to the wonderful lady who always greets us) is genuinely sweet and makes checking in a pleasure. The hygienists and assistants are gentle and kind, my middle daughter actually looks forward to her appointments because "they're so nice and sweet to me." That's huge when you have kids! My oldest is currently doing Invisalign here and the transformation in her smile is absolutely beautiful already - we couldn't be happier with the results and the way they've guided her through the whole process. Even our toddler, who used to be terrified and wouldn't open her mouth at previous dentists, is now getting comfortable and letting them do cleanings and check-ups without tears. That alone is worth five stars in my book! I've recommended Allison Avenue Dental to friends, and one just finished her treatment there, she texted me afterward saying she loves them too and wishes she'd switched sooner. If you're in La Mesa, Grossmont area, or anywhere in San Diego and looking for a family-friendly, caring, and highly professional dental office, do yourself a favor and go to Allison Avenue Dental. We feel so lucky to have found them!
