    I was so completely happy from start to finish! Going to the dentist is usually known for bad…read moreservice, unhelpful assistants, horrible work, unnecessary work and over-billing issues. I have had the complete perfect experience from start to finish! I was completely overly amazed on how polite and empathetic the staff and dental hygienists were to me and my 5 yr old son. 1. The office was very nice and had little arcade games in the waiting room to entertain the little ones. 2. Loved the seasonal decor, felt like a warm welcome into a kindergarten class room, very nicely designed for children to make them feel safe and secure. 3. Every single person we interacted with was so helpful and actually more than willing to answer questions I had and answered questions I didn't know to ask. 4. The staff is experienced really knows how to talk and interact with children to make them comfortable and fun! Yes!! Fun!! 5. Their prices are fair and reasonable, as I had no dental insurance or dental plan so I had to pay out of pocket. 6. They REALLY, HONESTLY do not try to do more work than actually needed, then over bill you for it. They actually SAVED me money and heartache!! (Read on below). My son broke off a part of his molar, after the x-rays they said had one cavity and needed a stainless steel crown and pulpotomy for the broken tooth. I was scared and worried. I research and investigated everything about crowns and alternatives, turns out, crowns are the best option, but still felt the need to discuss to the doctor about saving his tooth and doing a filling. The hygienists gave me affirmation that Dr. Whitcomb always does what is best and is conservative by doing the least amount of work and only does what is absolutely needed. Still apprehensive, I at least had that trust walking out of the office. After my sons procedure they let me know they were able to save the broken molar and no steel crown or pulpotomy was needed just a good filling. I literally wanted to cry I was so happy, I hugged and thanked everyone. So that saved me $380 and most importantly my sons beautiful tooth!!! This was my sons first dentist experience and not once was he scared, he actually liked it a lot! I would recommend them to everyone young or mature and will continue to only go there from now on. Dr. Witcomb is a marvelous accredited Dentist and does wonderful work! Again, thank you for your service in the Military Dr. Witcomb! Thank you to all staff and Doctors at Children's Braces and Dentistry in La Mesa

    After over 5 years of trusting this office to have my teeth straightened I regret ever walking in…read moreto this place. I went in to Dr. Surrillos to have my teeth and my daughters teeth straightened. After 2 years my teeth looked fantastic, yet I was told to keep coming to get the front aligned, turn, a tooth, a make room for my implant. I trusted them and did so. Then in the 2 nd year and after I had already paid them off before the 3 year, my bottom teeth began to noticeably shift higher and higher making them look completely side ways. Each time anything has happened, I had to tell them about it, otherwise they wouldn't do anything. As was the case with this. Years went by and they never addressed the issue. Eventually I asked them how much longer is this going to be it had already been 5 1/2 years and my bottom teeth were now completely misaligned. They all of a sudden changed everything around super fast and then ruined my top teeth by pulling them out and over the flared bottom teeth, flaring them and ruining how straight they had been. The canines also got pulled out of alignment and the midline also ended up being completely off center, there are spaces between my teeth that show black behind and get food stuck because the teeth are not aligned and lastly I don't have room for my implant and now I have to get braces again. He refunded my payment, however it is not enough to fix them now and does not begin to cover the 5 1/2 years I had to wear braces and the emotional damage I have experienced since they were removed. I was 34 when I got them and 39 when they were removed and you'd never think I had braces. I truly wish I would have never gone here. I would not recommend or go here ever again. Although they are all very nice, It is churn and burn and your kids wouldn't be able to speak out about it. My daughter's front teeth are not as aligned and her front tooth is already shifting back, with restrainer wear. Please review the photo attached. The bottom photos are what I now need to go to an orthodontist to fix. They are FLARED, misaligned and my bite is so off it hurts, I have gaps on the tops next to the gums and I can barley close my mouth over my teeth with out effort. DONT GO HERE.

My daughter had dental work done under anesthesia, and finding a place that not only offers this service but does so with such professionalism, patience, and kindness is not easy. From the dentist to the anesthesiologist and the entire team, we were treated with outstanding care every step of the way. They took the time to make us feel comfortable, answered every question, and most importantly, treated my daughter with so much gentleness and respect. Trusting others with your child--especially in situations like this--can be overwhelming, but today I felt reassured and grateful. Thank you for providing a safe, compassionate environment for families like ours. It truly means more than words can express.

    I first encountered Dr. O'Brien twelve years ago while managing a dental practice where he served…read moreas an associate, and even then, his reputation for exceptional care and patient satisfaction was widespread. It was a natural progression, therefore, for me to entrust my dental health to him when he established his own practice a few years later--a decision I have never once regretted. Dr. O'Brien embodies an unwavering integrity and a profound ethical compass that shines through in every aspect of his professional life. His philosophy is unequivocally patient-centric, prioritizing conservative and truly essential treatments. He operates with a steadfast commitment to only performing critical procedures, consistently seeking the least invasive yet most effective solutions to preserve and enhance his patients' oral health. This dedication is evident to anyone fortunate enough to be under his care; he demystifies complex procedures, employing advanced imaging to visually elucidate diagnoses, meticulously outlining comprehensive treatment plans, and proudly showcasing the impeccable results of his work. His precision is second to none--no detail is overlooked, no shortcut taken. Whether it's meticulously adjusting a bite after a filling or ensuring the margins of a crown are near perfection, his commitment to enduring quality is absolute. Beyond his formidable clinical skills, Dr. O'Brien possesses an exceptional chairside manner. His genuine warmth and delightful sense of humor transform what can often be an anxious experience into a remarkably pleasant one. He truly goes the extra mile --not just in treatment but also in fostering an environment where patients feel heard, understood, and genuinely cared for. Having dedicated years to the San Diego dental community and collaborated with well over 100 practitioners, I can confidently state that Dr. O'Brien stands among a very select few whom I implicitly trust. The excellence of Dr. O'Brien's practice extends seamlessly to his entire team, a group of individuals who are incredibly gracious, caring, thoughtful, helpful, and hardworking. Louella, the Office Manager, is not only exceptionally proficient but also deeply compassionate. Her dedication to patient advocacy shines through her meticulous handling of treatment coordination, insurance navigation, and transparent financial guidance. Her expertise ensures clarity and peace of mind regarding financial aspects, consistently delivering accurate and fair out-of-pocket estimates. Similarly, Cheryl consistently brightens the office environment with her infectious positivity and unwavering empathy, contributing significantly to the practice's welcoming atmosphere. Natalya is a phenomenal hygienist; she always does a thorough job in cleaning my teeth.
