Dr. Alberti has been my dentist for more than 15 years and I hope another fifteen to go. He and his staff are both knowledgeable and professional always showing the care and attention that patients seek. I have had every kind of dental procedure done in this office that is possible from cleanings, to crowns and I am always very satisfied. Dr. Alberti has been available on an emergency basis when I have had an issue needing attention. He also doesn't push expensive dental options that may not be necessary. Can't recommend this office enough. Thanks Dr. Alberti and Marcia! read more

Receptionist is so rude! Called for an urgent new patient appointment and receptionist tried to make me feel like I didn't know what I was experiencing and refused to give me availability for work to be completed without an initial appointment first. She kept wanting to schedule a cleaning when I'm experiencing pain. Very out of touch. read more

I have been a patient for 27 years and barely a complaint about the doctor. He struggled to find some decent talent for his office but landed on THE most horrific receptionist. She is dumb as dirt and rude! She walks around with sucdh a bad attitude. No empathy. NO concerns for his patients and because he is such a nice man, she gets away with it. In fact, she is defintiely the one that is going to respond to these yelp posts. Up until she got there, I never had issues with appointments. She does not call patients back and could care less about urgency or issues. Their affair is obvious to anyone who walks in the door. She flirts with him while you sit there with your mouth open. Do not go waste your time. read more

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Alberti for almost 20 years. He is a true professional and cares about his patients. He spends a lot of time with you and always takes you in on time. If you have an emergency, he makes the time to take care of you. We came from the east coast and have had many different dentists in the past but he is by far the best we ever had and would never go to anyone else. He has a very friendly staff assisting him. His office is immaculate, light and bright! Rita L. 1/25/2022 read more

To Dr. Mario Alberti I have seen Dr. Mario Alberti D.D.S. for more than 20 years. During each and every my visiting in his office, he always listens to me patiently with paying attention in detail, and checks very carefully. And he always gives the excellent treatment and performance. I feel I'm so lucky to have this "Top Doctor" as my special dentist. I also very much appreciated for his recommendations and referrals, which really helps me to prevent possible risk issue occur and to improve my dental health status. Here sending my heartfelt gratitude: so much appreciated for his compassionate care and thoughtfulness. Zhenmin read more

Always had great service and cleanings. They don't waste your time with a lot of unnecessary X-rays or exams so you're not paying out of pocket too much. The actual cleanings are quick and dr Alberti always is careful. Only downside is parking read more

Only visit the office once, a very small space. Definitely is not a good idea to go there during the coronavirus pandemic. The receptionist is very rude and knows nothing about dental insurance, be prepared to pay extra cash for your visit. read more

The worst dentist in the area, no respect to the patient. They will try to overcharge you. Please try to avoid them.

4 out of 5 due to his receptionist. The Dentist and Aide are amazing. Professional, courteous, and factual. The receptionist needs customer service training. I have had several side comments, such as knowing the Aide has surgery, and I had to be rescheduled, twice, which is fine. It was the approach given by the receptionist that was displeasing. She demeans, she reflects, she is arrogant. My credit reports are on lock down since the Equifax breach, and I attempted to use a card that was locked in my safe for 7 months. It was declined. Her immediate response was "Are you over your balance?" Excuse me? I actually just needed to call to verify it was me making a large purchase after 7 months with no activity. $800 after no activity should raise some flags. Glad my card company is proactive. Once the bill.was paid she was in a great hurry to usher me out as I attempted to place my card back in my wallet along with receipt. "Ok, you can go now. You're done. Bye now." I did pay the bill in full, which she of course asked me if I wanted to or had separate payments. Rude. This has me seriously wondering if I should ever go back. Great physician, great aide. Hard to stomach the rude service from his receptionist/scheduler/finance. TL;DR. MD good. Receptionist bad. read more

As always, he is the best :) My previous review mentions his old websites (don't worry about the weblinks), just read my experinces and be happy! read more

I have seen Dr Alberti for many years and he and his team are outstanding. They are professional, caring and truly nice with me and my family. I strongly recommend him! read more

Been going to Dr. Alberti for 20 years. Great dentist and very professional. I absolutely recommend him.

Exceptional Service!! I have been going here for 2 years and feel very confident in their services and expertise. They have great friendly service from the whole staff. I definitely recommend them! Also a small office feel verses a larger corporate dental offices. read more

Tried to schedule an appointment and the person on the phone was very UNFRIENDLY AND UNWELCOMING ! I tried to schedule an appointment but there were no Friday appointment, and I tried to get an idea if they would work with my insurance and she said "I have no idea about any type of fees". If they are this unfriendly over the phone for potential new clients then I would not go to this dentist. read more

Very friendly staff and comfortable location. Conveniently located for anyone who works in the UTC / UCSD area. Dr. Alberti was pleasant and professional. He took care of my teeth and didn't recommend any unnecessary procedures. read more

Called to find out about dental coverage and had to speak with a snide receptionist. She had a very clear attitude in her voice and was rude answering questions. With the amount of Dentists in the area, I decided to hang up and try elsewhere. She makes a horrible first impression for patients before even visiting the actual office. read more

Great service overall. I did my crowns here. The doctor and assistant agent are always patient and professional.

Went to this office for the first time a couple months ago for a hygiene appointment that I'd been needing to get done. Went because of the great Yelp reviews. While his office is nice, it works well with insurance, and the employees are friendly, it concerns me that he cleans the teeth himself. It's worth noting that registered dental hygienists go to school specifically for hygiene. That's a bachelor's degree, and a certified title. Dentists do not receive this type of training in the same capacity. So while he is a great guy, I will not be returning to Mr. Alberti. I prefer to have a RDH clean my teeth (a true specialist in hygiene which is all I need). read more

Dr. Alberti is the best dentist I've ever had. He is very gentle doing the cleanings and is very pleasant to talk with.I also appreciate that doesn't try to up-sell me on extra treatments. His staff are quite fun to talk to. read more

Dr. Alberti is extremely professional and extremely pleasant to deal with. Agree with a previous poster that the front desk person doesn't exactly go out of her way to get insurance questions answered, but that has nothing to do with the dental care. My previous dentists included someone who insisted I needed a root canal that would cost major $$$ and when I went to Alberti, he said I didn't need the work and was puzzled why that first quack said I did. He came to me by way of recommendation and I would recommend Dr. Alberti to anyone who asks. read more

This guy is awesome. Very friendly atmosphere with a knowledgeable staff that makes us feel comfortable when we come. Will be our dentist as long as he is in business...thank you sir . Anyone needing a quality dentist must come here!!! read more

I called the dentist to schedule an appointment. The receptionist asked me to provide my insurance number and home address and phone number, which is fine. But then she also asked for my social security number. I asked her why. She said she could not identify me with the insurance number alone. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Other dentist office asked me only insurance number and successfully identify me. This makes me doubt the legality and professionalism of the business. read more

Dr. Alberti has been my dentist for the last four years. Dr. Alberti is very professional and courteous. He provides a personalized treatment and he is always on time. Also, Dr. Alberti's staff is friendly and his office is very clean and organized. I totally recommend Dr. Alberti! read more

I have been a patient of Dr Alberti for fifteen years years! He is direct, professional, and rarely keeps you waiting... I strongly recommend him as your go to dentist! read more

I've been going to Dr Alberti for years and I can say that he his definitely the best general dentist in San Diego. He sees his patients one at a time and works on them personally, instead of letting a less experienced dentist do the work. His staff is a pleasure to be around as well, and I always have a great experience overall. If you're searching for a dentist that performs great work and won't try to price gouge you, Dr Alberti is the dentist for you! read more

Big fan! I was recommended by a friend and was very impressed. I have had plenty of bad dentist experiences but Dr. Alberti will be my dentist for years to come. Conveniently located in the UTC area and he has a great support staff. read more

Dr. Alberti is the best! This is the ONLY 5 star review I have ever given and it is well deserved. I've been going to Dr. Alberti for almost 10 years now and he has always provided me with excellent care. He is attentive, always does the cleanings himself and never tries to gouge me by telling me I need extra services (unlike a different place I used to go to). He is NEVER overbooked so I never have to wait and his staff is very pleasant. In short, he is the best! I came in today for a chip in the enamel of one of my front teeth. I'm kind of vain so this was a cause of major concern for me and Dr. Alberti fixed it perfectly. I couldn't be happier! read more

Good guy. Often takes a hands-on approach to care, not just handing off to a hygienist, and then coming in to take a peek. Does not overcharge or upsell; other dentists I have had attempt to push a $50 "deep cleaning" (a post-cleaning rinse) or tell others in my family they need a root canal "immediately." Having Dr. Alberti as our family dentist has kept our wallets and our teeth in good condition. read more

Dr. Alberti is a terrific dentist who gives you his full attention with top care. He is knowledgeable, professional and caring -- he explains what's going on each step of the way, no surprises, and his staff is supportive and efficient. Joann and Wilbur care about patients as well. Easy to schedule an appointment, conveniently located in UTC in San Diego. read more

I love Dr. Alberti! He has been my dentist for about 12 years and I can't say enough wonderful things about him. When I first came to see him, I had several cavities and failed fillings that needed to be replaced. He replaced my fillings and repaired my teeth and to this day I have not had another cavity. He also does all of his own dental cleaning which is unheard of these days! Never once, have I ever felt pain during any of my cleanings or repairs. Dr. Alberti also replaced my two front teeth veneers and did a magnificent job several years ago. I actually went this morning for my check up and it was a great experience. His staff, Joanne and Wilbur are extremely professional and caring. They have been there for a really long time, which again, reflects positively on Dr. Alberti. read more

I have been going to Dr. Albert for maybe 20 or 25 years. He is an easy-going low-key nice guy. Mostly, I love his receptionist, Joanne. She is easy to talk to, knows about the insurance companies, is efficient, goes the extra mile, is exceedingly helpful, and is a great person. Love talking to her. I read some crummy reviews about her and am scratching my head trying to figure that one out. Maybe they were customers with snide or crappy attitudes. I could picture her not taking crap off of nasty people. Beautiful view out the window, no wait time, efficiently run, zero recommendation of needless procedures. I will never go anywhere else. I am beyond comfortable with this office. read more

Being visiting this office for several years and have been very happy with the service, so much so, that my kids are now patients of Dr. Alberti as well. I like Dr. Alberti's hands on approach and the small, friendly staff. I highly recommend this office! read more

Dr. Alberti is the best. I've never waited more than one minute to see him. I've never had to schedule an appointment more than one or two weeks out. I love that he cleans my teeth himself. He's never tried to sell me crap I didn't need which other dentists I have been to do but still taken any concern I've had seriously. When I needed a referral for an ortho, the person he referred was fantastic too! (I think top people in their field associate with other top people and this confirmed it) . I have referred as many people as possible to him. read more

Dr Alberti I had some worked done by Dr Alberti and did not last. When I was there he recommended to do all kinds of work that I refused because I did not believe it to be necessary. After not a long time the work that he did is no longer good. So I called to set up an appointment and he refused to take me as a patient. In other words to be responsible for his poor work. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DOCTOR. A person who can not take constructive criticism and be responsible for his work! read more

Of all the dental professionals my family and I have seen over the years, Dr. Alberti is the best. He takes great care in explaining the treatment options in simple terms. His treatment plan is consistent with his minimalist approach; we are very pleased with the results. Very highly recommended. Wish we found him sooner. read more

Dr. Alberti was very efficient and professional. Probably one of the best dentist I've had. His dental assistant and secretary were exceptionally kind, and it was truly enjoyable going there... especially since they do not assign unnecessary procedures. Two thumbs up from me read more

Always a pleasant experience with both the office staff and Dr. Alberti. He will never recommend work you do not need and honesty seems to be rare in this business. Is gentle and thorough and cleans my teeth himself rather having the hygientist do it. I will continue to go here. read more

Dr. Alberti is the best all around dentist I've ever been to. I have had a lot of dental work by various dentists over the years and he is my favorite. He is very knowledgeable, very experienced, conservative, balanced and a pleasure to visit. His wonderful "bedside manner" makes each appointment relaxed and stress free, no matter how involved the work being done. I am very happy to have found Dr. Alberti and plan to stay with him for the long haul! read more

I don't usually write these things but I feel it necessary to. I had some fillings done when I lived in San Diego during 2006 and 07. Flash forward....to today and relocated to SF where I found a great dentist and much to my disappointment and additional expense, I had another 3K of work done to clean up his crappy patchwork done on my teeth. Two more crowns that would not have been necessary had he taken the time to address the problem then. As well as, a botched root canal (not done by him but previously) where if he had looked closer, I would have avoided loosing the tooth a few months later. You can do better as far as dentists go. He is fast but doesnt consider the long term ramifications and expense. Would not recommend to anyone. read more

Mario is simply the BEST DENTIST I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. He is a dentist you can trust. I have found over the years that dentist are a lot like mechanics. I've gone to several that want to change out everything and charge me thousands of dollars. Mario is not like that. He finds whats's wrong and fixes it; just that simple. Highly recommended! read more
