Got my two front teeth chipped playing sports and they fixed it up perfectly! Exceedingly nice dentist experience. Shout out Dr.Low

Dan is a dental hygienist at La Mesa dental and he is hands down the best dental health provider I have ever had. He's professional and patient and gentle. Additionally, I truly appreciate this Dental office for is front admin staff. Scheduling with them is always easy and they too are personable and professional. read more

I've been coming to this office for years and have always had a wonderful experience. The front desk assistants are kind, organized and explain everything so well. My hygienist Dan is the best. He's quick, kind and gentle. Seems genuinely interested in my health and well being. I've recommended this office to at least 20 friends and family. read more

Dr ABIGAIL J. fixed my long overdue dental work across the whole front in one visit!!! She and the 2 assisting her were very efficient and sensitive to my comfort. Great office and environment!!! read more

La Mesa Dental - A BIG "FIXED" SMILE because Dr Abigail got to go to the big Padre WIN at PETCO yesterday! YAAAAAA! - General Dentistry Near Me - La Mesa, California

I stopped going here after many years. The new dentists lack the skills of former dentists and seem interested in pushing expensive procedures. The older staff members that remain are still good. read more

Worst experience ever. Literally have PTSD from a cavity filling. Dr was a young man and laughed and joked with his assistant as I lay there in pain. read more

Finding a new dentist when you move is hard, y'all. I moved from Las Vegas late last year and my dentist there was meh, but I rolled with it as they were close to where I lived. I vowed to find a great dental office in San Diego once I got into town and I found that office in La Mesa Dental. From the moment I requested an appointment, everything has been smooth sailing. The staff is very friendly and easy to talk to, the cleanings are comfortable and the person performing the cleaning is thorough and makes sure you are comfortable. The dentists are nice and welcome questions. I cannot find any fault in this office and I love coming here so much that I wish I could come more often, but *knock on wood* my mouth health is pretty good. I look forward to my every 6 month exams. Go La Mesa Dental! read more

Dr. Stuardo is an exceptional dentist. Their expertise and care put me at ease throughout my visit. The staff was friendly, and the office was clean and well-maintained. I highly recommend Dr. Stuardo for dental care. read more

La Mesa Dental - Front office - General Dentistry Near Me - La Mesa, California

I am so happy yo have found this office! The whole staff is friendly, the office clean, well organized and I had a very short wait time. One of the best parts of my experience, was finding Dr. Abby. During my exam, she was so warm and kind. After the exam, she patiently explained her findings (a very good teacher, I might add), she took time for my questions and concerns. Her bedside manner is un-matched.I know that my teeth are in good hands under her outstanding care. Overall, Dr. Abby and this office are a gem, and I highly recommend them! read more

I have been going here for more than a few years, and I am happy with my experiences there. I initially went there because they were open more days of the week and longer hours than my previous famiky run dentist. While it doesn't have the feel of a small dentist-owned family business, I think they do a good job. Everyone is always friendly, from the fromt desk to the hygienists and dentists. From the outside it may seem like a all building but they have dozens of treatment rooms inside. They are less of a room and more like stalls, but still spacious enough. It does make for a loud environment, but that doesn't bother me. They seem to have a huge staff of rotating people, it's rare that I run into the same hygienist twice, and that even applies sometimes to the dentist. The hygienists are very good at what they do...one of them identified the early signs of a dying tooth root before anyone, even the dentists. They seem to have a handle on current technology, I have had a lot of cavities in my life, but this place uses a laser technique that doesn't need any numbing shots, a huge difference! Hard to get an appointment short notice, but you can add your name to a waitlist. Or just wait until their earliest appointment. read more

My husband and I have been La Mesa Dental clients for over 20 years. The staff is exceptional which is why although we moved a longer drive away we stayed with this team. Over the years whenever we needed treatments or referrals the team worked fast and got insurance approval detailing and explaining clearly all that is needed. The hygienist are THE BEST! Today I saw Dr. Stuardo with my daughter. He was attentive, patient, caring. He took the time to listen to me and my daughter, addressed our concerns, reassured us and gave several treatment options, not pushing an optional procedure. We are extremely grateful for La Mesa Dental care! read more

Let me start by saying 5 stars for the doctor. She was great. The office manager is the problem. I told the doctor that I didn't want to do the deep cleaning and she said it was ok to schedule for a regular cleaning. However, when I called to schedule, the office manager overrode the doctor and refused to schedule me for a regular cleaning. It certainly doesn't instill much trust in an office where the office manager makes the decisions and thinks she knows more than a highly skilled dentist. read more

Everyone who works here is super sweet, but Dan is the best!!! He's super friendly and doesn't rush through the cleanings, but he also doesn't take forever. He's also very gentle! read more

I've been to a lot of doctors and dentists and never had such a terrible experience as I had here. After finding a cavity at my exam, I came in for a filling. The dentist assured me that the numbing needle would not hurt and felt like a slight pinch. That was the biggest understatement ever as it was very painful. Then he began drilling into my tooth. At which point I experienced the most excruciating pain I've ever felt. The pain was so bad tears were streaming down my face. He stopped and shoved another needle into my mouth as he obviously had not given me enough the first time. As he began drilling again, I was so terrified and upset by the pain I had felt I was literally sobbing with my mouth wide open and him drilling. As the tears streamed on my face and neither him nor his assistant made any efforts to check if I was OK or let me know how much longer the procedure would be. Instead, they had a fun chat about a fellow dentist they knew that worked out in her free time at her office. Casually commenting on how much weight she lifted and laughing while I lay there, sobbing as quietly as possible. I never understood why people were so traumatized by dentists but now I get it. I won't be back. read more

Any dental practice that makes you excited to come back deserves 5-stars, and that includes La Mesa Dental. From the receptionist to the dentist (Dr. Vu) and dental hygienist (Anna), it felt like I was interacting with old friends from the moment I walked in. Despite having skip 1.5 years of teeth cleanings, the entire staff was incredibly encouraging. Strangely, it made me eager to get home to floss more, and excited for my next appointment. I couldn't be happier with my experience, and very thankful to have found these folks. read more

I showed up for an appointment and politely requested to skip the X-rays, and instead do them at the next visit because I had just had a double chest X-ray at a recent doctors appointment. La Mesa Dental would NOT respect my wishes and allow me to make decisions about how much radiation is exposed to MY body. They said it was a requirement, and refused to give me a simple cleaning. I would not recommend this dentist. It seems they're only capable of following procedures and not able to respect the wishes of their patients. read more

The receptionist asked me if I was coming, and I replied "On my way" She said "okay" and then I proceeded to hang up. 5 minutes later, around 15 minutes after my appointment, she called me back and asked if I made it, I said no again. She then stated that I said I was in the parking lot (I never did). I replied telling her I said I was on my way. She then asked if I went to the wrong office. I say no because I already told her I'm on my way. A $50 cancellation fee when I'm less than two minutes away will not cut it for me. Besides that the dental work is great. I probably won't return. I would not take this as a deterrent to this dentistry, but I will say they may be a little money-hungry. My main problem is that when I received the call they did not tell me they were going to cancel my trip if I was late. (Would have turned around right away) Once again not trying to spread hate, just an irritating experience. read more

Friendly, caring staff. Dan, my hygienist, & Dr. Low are the best, worth the drive from Mira Mesa! I was here last week for my 6 month check up. During this COVID 19 pandemic I felt they had taken not only the state mandates to be open and set a patients, but went far beyond. I felt I was in a safe and clean environment and that they truly cared about the health of their patients and staff. Well done! read more

I love this clinic. Have been coming here since about 2017 and all but one visit have been wonderful! Sara is a lovely dental hygienist. She's always talking me through what she's doing and is very quick and efficient with each cleaning. 100% recommend this clinic for anyone looking for dental work in San Diego!! read more

Dr. Vu did an amazing job with my root canal. I had been dragging my feet on quite a bit of work including two root canals, crowns and a couple of fillings before coming to their office. It's easy to procrastinate when all of the recommended procedures are presented to you as a long, pricey, intimidating list. Instead, Dr. Vu and the staff summarized everything for me but they also broke all of my work down into several manageable steps, prioritizing what was most time sensitive. This made it much easier to budget and plan for the work. I've also had work done by Dr. Low and of course, a number of hygienists whose names I wish I could remember. Not only have they all been extremely professional but friendly and personable, as well. It really takes the edge off something that most of us would rather not have to do. read more

My new favorite place now! I've found them on yelp looking to get a second opinion on my tooth issue. The reviews were great so I scheduled an appointment. They are as friendly and great as other reviewers said. I followed Doctor Wu's advise on what should be done with my tooth and she did amazing job. I also scheduled my 2 teeth clean sessions. Didn't remember my dental hygienists names but they both were very thorough, professional and friendly. So are the ladies at the front desk. If you have an appointment you are in very quickly. Will be definitely coming back! read more

I highly recommend la Mesa dental! I actually enjoy my appointments and the staff seem very genuinely happy. The dental office is very clean and although it's small, patients are helped promptly. Everyone really tries to make it enjoyable. They have up to date technology and the staff are experienced and professional. I'd recommend parking on the street because the parking area is tight. There are two hour parking all along the street. read more

WOW - I had such a pleasant experience at LMD! I was looking for a dentist in the area for a cleaning, so I perused my options and chose La Mesa because I had some friends who had visited in the past, and it did not disappoint. I'm always nervous at the dentist, but I was greeted with such a friendly front desk that eased my anxiety. They got my insurance info squared away quickly and had me in with no issues. As for the cleaning itself - I couldn't have asked for a better one! My hygeniest's bedside manner was fantastic. She asked thoughtful questions and didn't try to impose any additional care on me. It was a reasonable price too, so I would overall highly recommend! My teeth are nice and clean with no pain, which is even better. Definitely keeping La Mesa for future visits! Awesome place with great service and friendly people read more

Staff is friendly, Dr. Low and dr. Vu are fantastic and I highly recommend Melissa, the hygienist! She is gentle, thorough, helpful and professional! Five stars to Melissa! read more

Stella is awesome, best dental hygienist I've ever had.

Similar to what some of the other reviewers have said, I too concur that La Mesa Dental takes pleasure in overcharging patients without offering the quality service you would expect. This profit-driven establishment prioritizes money over providing genuine & caring services to those in need of dental treatment. Although most of the guest services staff was indeed hospitable & genuinely kind, I felt that Rob Low and his disposable band of proclaimed Dentists were apathetic, condescending, and generally disrespectful to me. May I suggest that some basic courses in Hospitality/Customer service would definitely help with meeting your desired profit margins. Needless to say I will not be returning here. read more

My dentist of 20 years sold his practice to someone I found I couldn't trust, so I read all the wonderful reviews about Dr. Low on Yelp and Nextdoor and was sold. He's very knowledgeable and experienced and explained everything on my x-rays to me while at the same time making me feel comfortable. I knew right away I was in good hands and had made the right decision in choosing him. I won't go anywhere else! read more

Get your quotes up front. Very expensive compared to other dentists in the area. I felt I was overcharged for the service I received. read more

The dentist, Dr. Low is awesome. Nice, very knowledgeable, and personable. The assistant was great. The reception staff are horrible. Rude, to the point of madness over masks. My kid sat in chair getting work done, maskless, for almost an hour then was told it is inconsiderate to stand in common area, with no one around in front of masked receptionist who is behind glass! We will not return for that reason. Plus receptionists make notes in chart-rude notes. They had it displayed so me and my kid could read while we waited for the dentist. No class... read more

It was my son's first time there and he hates the dentist, but they made him feel so comfortable and they gave him so much information so that he can understand the process... this will be our new family dentist... thank you read more

Honest Honest Honest That's all I can say. Great experience and great Dr. My family will be coming here for life now ... thanks guys. read more

I LOVE this place! It was my first time. Very friendly and happy staff! JOSH is so much fun! He takes your Xrays. He's funny, gentle, and helps you feel comfortable. He's the perfect man for the initial contact! DR. VU was so nice, very sweet and comforting. I'm a nervous wreck when it comes to the the dentist and VASANA was AMAZING and super super patient! The office staff and ambiance is very happy, peaceful, calming and comforting. This is my new dental place for the rest of my life! ;)))) THANK YOU LA Mesa Dental! See you soon! read more

I love this dental office. I've been going here for about 6 years now. They have been consistently professional and efficient despite how busy they are. All the staff are so friendly and pleasant to interact with. Can't say anything bad about this place. I recently visited another dental office because of a promotion I received and let's just say I will never be doing that again!...still so happy we found this place! read more

My family and I have been coming to this office for many years, the staff is Incredible. They are Very Patient, Gentle and they listen to your concerns. They are Very Professional also when it comes to the Covid-19 Restrictions and I feel totally Safe in their hands. read more

I have been a patient at La Mesa Dental for nearly thirty years. During that time, I have received top notch treatment from all the staff. I especially want to commend Dr. Low for the excellent care he provided to me this past week. He spent 2 hours working on my partial which did not fit properly. I was ready to give up, but Dr, Low, being a perfectionist, spent the extra time so that it would be just right. He is kind and generous and humble - saying "I'm just doing my job" when I thanked him for going above and beyond! Sincerely, Alice A. read more

I have been going to this office for a while now and came in today because my crown chipped. Everything was good until Anessa (the person in charge of billing) stopped all work over insurance issues. I agreed to pay for the entire bill regardless if insurance covered it or not. It is sad that this office cares more about money then the care of there patience. When Dr. Low is in the office it seems to be a very different atmosphere. I will be looking for a new dentist. read more

I have had some terrible experiences with dentist. Dr Low is great , very gentle , professional , caring. The young lady Ann that cleaned my teeth was awesome, very caring and concerned with my discomfort. She did a great job. Thank you all at La Mesa dental. I will be back for maintenance work. Everyone was very caring , asked about my wife and family. Really great group of people. And doing a great job during these trying times with Covid , I felt safe and secure the whole time. If you're looking for a good local dentist , look no further, I recommend them very highly , 5 stars across the board. read more

I went to La Mesa Dental a little nervous, because I have been switching dentists recently and the one I tried previous to them was awful. However, I was extremely happy with La Mesa dental. During the x-rays you can see all the images on the screen in front of you, which is interesting and they explain what you're seeing as well. I ended up having a cavity, which I had assumed and why I made the appointment. Dr. Vu did an amazing job. She remembered me from checking out my x-rays and tried to make me feel comfortable by talking about a common interest. She also asked if I feel comfortable with the numbing (I definitely did!). She did a great job with the numbing and tried to distract me from the small pinch then as well. During the process she told me to lift my hand if I felt any discomfort and when I wouldn't would check on me in the middle. I never felt any discomfort at all. She did an amazing job and I'll definitely be coming back here because of her. read more

My family and I have been going to this dentist office for years! I have never been disappointed. Wait times are good. All the dental hygienist have been professional and thorough. They're honest and easy to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone, even good with kids. read more

As much as I dislike going to the dentist they really made me at ease , From the assistant to the Dr. Low all were a bunch of friendly staff. read more
