She always takes the time to educate me in a clear and empowering way about oral health. I never feel rushed and she genuinely cares. Dr. Bierman is equally exceptional. He is incredibly patient, professional and detail oriented. He takes the time to explain things as well. It makes you feel comfortable and confident in his care. I truly recommend this office to anyone looking for top quality, dental care from the making of your appointment by the friendly staff upfront to the end where you come out smiling.

She received them at their office two years prior, and is not covered by my insurance. When I told them I was a patient for several years, and asked them to forego the x-rays as a courtesy because we are enduring financial hardship with a newborn - the receptionist who was pleasant put me on hold to ask someone. She soon came back and told me NO, and x-rays would $319. SEEMS LIKE THIS PLACE IS THINKING ABOUT THEIR OWN FINANCIAL GAIN, INSTEAD OF THEIR LOYAL PATIENTS. I can appreciate that ADA guidelines recommending x-rays every 2 years, but certainly you would think exceptions could be made (well not at this place). I'm really considering canceling my next appointment, and going to a place that BOTH me and my wife can go to, and who appreciates our business. They obviously are doing so well that no exceptions can be made surrounding their absurd x-ray policy. I've never heard something so absurd and have had x-rays waived at several other dental offices in the past. If it's a "liability" thing have patients sign a waiver. This kind of stuff really pisses me off...

I had gotten sick and forgot to cancel, so that was not related to anything the office did. They were ultimately just following up about my care, which I appreciated. What stood out to me is that they truly make time for you. It does not feel like one of those offices where they are juggling multiple patients at once and the dentist is working on 3 people at once. The cleaning was great as well, and although I forgot the tech's name, she was thorough and quite informed. I'm def going back for my cleanings with this tech. My care with Dr. Janice felt especially thoughtful and focused. She kept me informed every step of the way and clearly explained the risks and benefits of different treatment options. I really value that, because many dentists do not give the full picture unless they are trying to steer you in a certain direction. Here, the discussion felt balanced, transparent, and aligned with what I already understood about my dental history and what I had previously been told might happen. I was also impressed that she understood my situation before I even had to explain it fully. A lot of the time, I find myself filling in the background first before a provider adjusts their view. That was not the case here. Highly recommend this office if you are looking for a new dentist. I already had Invisalign underway with another provider, but otherwise I probably would have done it here.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Shah and his team. The level of care they provide is top notch! Dr. Shah is not one of those shady dentists who tries to upsell and profit off their patients. I completely trust him with my dental care. He lets me know what he sees as concerning and will be keeping an eye on and always answers any questions I have. Dr. Shah also does a great job of explaining what might need to be done in the future and what my insurance will cover so I can plan for it. Today I chipped my front tooth and was able to come in same day to have a filling put in. I left the office in happy tears because my front tooth looked so good and it was all done so quickly.

The cleaning by the hygienist was so thorough, I finally understood what after dentist clean meant. That feeling lasted for days afterwards. I got several tips for handling dry mouth, and techniques for brushing trouble spots in my mouth. Very professional, knowledgeable, and speedy care. Thank you!

I've seen plenty of dentists…read moredue to changing jobs/insurance and when Dr. Reddy wasn't able to take my insurance at my previous job, I've seen some pretty terrible dentists (Fifth Ave Dental Arts). The other dentists told me that I needed two cavities and a crown and with insurance, I would still have to pay $2,000 out of pocket. This blew my mind because I have always been on top of my dental health. I waited over a year until I was able to upgrade my insurance and was ecstatic to find out that Dr. Reddy was covered under it. At a recent visit, she told me that I did not need any fillings nor a crown and was surprised that a dentist would recommend a crown for me. I appreciate her honesty and professionalism as she will never try to upsell you anything, She will give you all the options that will work within your budget. Her staff are also friendly and personable and I have never experienced any pain during any of my dental work here. Also, I went to her a few years ago to get some aligners and now I have a pretty and clean smile! I highly recommend Dr. Reddy!

    How often do you hear someone who says "i love my dentist"?…read more Me...never...until I found Mira Mesa Dental Care. i had a decent dentist many years ago...but he retired and the entire practice closed =( Since then i've tried a few places here and there and they are mostly dishonest. Mira mesa Dental Care is a simple family practice. They do what they are supposed to to do without any fancy upcharges. the entire experience is relaxed...starting with a super friendly receptionist (there are 2 that i've met so far). You might even be lucky enough to catch one of the singing! Dentists are mother & daughter. You have to option to stick with one or the other but I opt to take whoever is available and i really like them both. All the dental assistants are all super friendly and make me feel comfortable. I have recommended them to others and my friends who have gone are also quite happy with them. only disadvantage is that i needed a root canal and that had to be done at another facility. that was new to me but to have such a good and honest dentist...totally worth the slight inconvenience. thank you =)

    I have been holding off on posting a review... but I had a friend just recently tell me that they…read morewent here and have had major issues. I went here about years ago and I really loved this office when I first came and I really loved Dr Kiyan and his staff. He was doing a deal for a full mouth reconstruction for $15,000 so I did it. I had six porcelain veneers in my front that I should not have taken out because they were much better quality. He prepped my teeth and did crown lengthening which did not make my gums even. It was an absolute waste of time. I had Crown lengthening once before by a periodontist and highly recommend going to a periodontist for this procedure. He then put 20 crowns in one day. The next day I was in severe pain and it lasted a while... The doctor told me that that was normal. Come to find out I needed numerous root canal's. So after having these new crowns put in I had to go and have root canal's drilled through the middle of the crown. I ended up getting 10root canals which was not cheap. Then I would have crowns fall out and break. I had numerous crowns fall out and break. I paid $500 to fix my last broken ground there and then when another crown broke he said that I needed to have two other teeth have new crowns because they now have decay. Which I mentioned when I first had the crowns done that they weren't fully covering the tooth that they were most likely going to have cavities. Anyway he said that I would now have to pay $1500 per crown. How does any dentist charge more to fix issues caused. Personally I shouldn't even had to of paid the $500 for the one crown that I had fixed. Since having this work done recently I had a crown fall out realizing that there was really no tooth underneath it. So he put a crown on pretty much no tooth..And another crown fell out on the opposite side with pretty much no tooth. I'm Going to have to have a full reconstruction and numerous implants. I'm not even sure how many teeth have nothing underneath the crown.. My teeth havabsolutely been ruined. In the pictures that I posted you can see the uneven gummy smile with one of my front teeth is bigger than the other.. you can see next to my bottom teeth the broken tooth that has been there for a while. And you can also see the missing teeth on the bottom. I am seriously paying the price for bad dentistry. Since these photos luckily I found a dentist to help fix these awful issues but had to spend 18k
