    I found this practice through a recommendation in the community, where I kept hearing that Dr. Cho…read moreis very honest and detail-oriented. It's a smaller office, but everything runs very efficiently, which was really impressive. I filled out the forms ahead of time, so there was almost no wait before being seen. One of the biggest advantages is that they have X-rays, CT, and 3D scanning all in-house, so you don't need to go elsewhere for additional imaging -- everything can be done in one place. The exam itself was very calm and straightforward, but thorough. He made sure to go over everything I needed to know without being overwhelming. And the highlight for me was definitely the cleaning. They removed years of buildup and stains, and my teeth even look noticeably brighter. The touch was very gentle, and I felt no discomfort at all. Honestly, it was the best cleaning I've ever had -- I was really impressed.

    I've been going to Dr. Cho for many years, and I can't say enough about how professional and…read moreknowledgeable he is in the field of dentistry. He has done amazing work on my teeth, especially when it comes to any surgical procedures I've needed. Dr. Cho is by far one of the best dentists in Scripps Poway. Sara, Dr. Cho's dental hygienist, is incredibly sweet and very knowledgeable at what she does. From the front desk receptionist to the doctor himself, the entire team makes it a great place to go if you need a good dentist. I highly recommend Dr. Cho.

His whole life, we have had to have him under general anesthesia I'm rider to get any and all dental done: day, cleanings, fillings, etc.. because of his sensory issues and flight/fight fears. In the past year, McGrady has been the first and only dentist who has managed to do cleanings in her office, winning my son's trust with her patient, calm and non-condescending manner. Today, she managed to have two cavities filled, without general anesthesia, in her office --- and my son did wonderfully. They are true miracle workers and I'm forever grateful!!

    Dr McGrady was so calm, patient, and kind to my son & I. My son is 1.5 years old, and the visit…read morewas his 1st dental visit. I was having trouble getting my son to let me brush his teeth, or getting him to try himself. Dr McGrady was able to keep my son calm in the chair and remove the buildup on his molar. She gave me a lot of great advice that quickly led my son to becoming a willing & sometimes even happy participant in the brushing of his teeth 2 times a day! She also spent extra time sending me info on different toothpastes & ingredients that I was worried about due to him having bad reactions to a popular ingredient. We will definitely be returning here for my son's next appointment in 6 months!

    I had a very disappointing experience with Mod Squad Dental regarding charges that were never…read moredisclosed in advance. As a new patient, I relied on the office to verify my insurance benefits and provide an estimate of my financial responsibility before treatment. I went for a routine regular teeth cleaning, which is 100% covered under preventive care (in and out of network). Afterward, I received an unexpected bill for a service I did not request or approve. The office manager, Beth, repeatedly insisted that the charge was a "copay." Preventive care has no copay, and even if it did, it would be a clearly defined amount like $50 or $100 --not a made-up charge or random dollar figure. When I asked for documentation that they had confirmed coverage with my insurance PRIOR to my visit, Beth said they were too busy and cited HIPAA as the reason they could not provide a recording. I did not request a recording; I simply asked for proof that the call had been made in advance, which they were unable to provide. All I received was a screenshot of call that was made to my insurance company on Feb 17, 2026, which is 3 months AFTER my visit and it was their attempt to get my insurance cover the unapproved charge that's not related to my regular cleaning. My insurance also confirmed they had no record of any call from the office prior to my visit. The office's explanations were inconsistent, initially claiming they had contacted my insurance, then later stating they don't have time to call every patient's insurance to confirm coverage. They also claimed they don't have access to the fee schedule because they are out of network, but my insurance confirmed that this information is available on their website and would have been provided if the office had actually called. The conversation grew increasingly agitated, with Beth repeatedly insisting she was too busy, and ultimately ended with her hanging up on me without any effort to find a constructive solution. I'm not sure why I should be penalized for their staffing or time constraints. As a patient, I have no way of knowing procedure codes or coverage details. That's the dentist office's responsibility to avoid issues like this one. In my 20+ years of seeing dentists or doctors across the U.S., I have never received an unauthorized or undisclosed healthcare bill. Transparency and informed consent are basic expectations in any business, and unfortunately, Mod Squad Dental failed to meet that simple standard. Based on this experience, I cannot trust this office and would not recommend them. It's clear from prior reviews that I am not the only patient facing this issue.

    If you want the TLDR version, avoid this business because the billing department is horrible. They…read moremisrepresent the out-of-pocket price of services and are unapologetic about it. I was billed an additional $1800 (out of pocket) two months after services were rendered. I would recommend going to a business that is more upfront about what you're actually going to pay. I made my initial appointment for a check up on July 30th. I provided my insurance information during that appointment. Nobody made any issue of my having humana insurance. They just said "yes we accept that". On July 30th I was quoted roughly $1100 out of pocket expense which needed to be paid directly to mod squad dental to fill 4 cavities and do a deep cleaning. I agreed to this pricing and scheduled the services. The appointments were made for 09/22 and 10/06. At the end of my second visit on 10/06 they told me the out of pocket was actually $831.00 great. I paid it happily. Early December, I received a bill stating I owe mod squad dental $1858.00. I had already made an appointment to repair a filling which was too thick so while I was there, I asked them what the $1800 was regarding and the receptionist told me it "well, it's because you have Humana insurance". Ok, what does that mean? She then clarified it's because they're not in network. To be clear, my insurance pays the exact same for in network coverage as it does for out of network coverage. I'm thinking to myself, you knew you were out of network when you gave my good faith estimate. So, what would that have to do with anything? I told her that's a substantial difference and she said she'd speak to Beth the billing person. After my visit I spoke with Beth, the billing person at Mod squad and she basically reiterated that my insurance didn't cover as much as they thought. She didn't offer any other explanations and didn't really seem interested in doing so. I asked for itemized versions of my bill and explanations of what the codes referred to which she provided. I asked where my payment of $831 was reflected and never got an answer. I asked for a copy of my initial estimate and never got an answer. (I threw mine out after the $831 was paid). I disputed the bill with Humana insurance and filed a claim with the California Department of insurance. My dispute was dismissed and I was told by both parties that the billing was much higher than standard rates. I received my estimate from mod squad dental in July and had made my decision to go forward with treatment based on the estimate that was given. Mod squad dental had MONTHS to figure out their estimate was short. They did not turn in a bill to Humana insurance until all services were rendered (after my last visit on 10/6). It's not my fault that they didn't check in with the insurance carrier for 3 months. If I make an appointment with an imaging center they tentatively schedule it pending my insurances approval. Same with my allergist and ENT. Nobody does anything without approval. However, I see a dentist and I get stuck with a bill that's 300% higher than my initial estimate? Absurd I don't have any problem with mod squad dental charging whatever they want for services. That's fine. But if you do this for a living, you know roughly what insurance pays and you know if you've had issues with a specific carrier that you need to tell a client that ahead of time. If you don't want to deal with insurance, cool! Just SAY that. Don't act like it's all good and then just send a bill for 300% more after all is said and done. And to be clear, the issue isn't that they're out of network. As I stated, my insurance pays the exact same amount for in network as out of network. The issue is that they bill above standard rates. This was reiterated by a representative from the California Department of Insurance. This isn't a case of Humana just being hard to deal with or denying coverage. And considering the receptionist's response of "oh it's because you have Humana" when I asked about the extra fees, they are WELL AWARE of the pricing being out of line and they should have told me that before showing me an estimate that reflected a third of what the actual price was. There's a million ways this could have been handled and just sending a bill for 300% of the initial agreed upon price is not one of them. it deserved a phone call or at least an email saying "hey, sorry I was wrong, can we work something out?". I would have absolutely paid the difference to meet the original estimated price. But I am not paying 300% more. I have no intention of paying this bill. I will file a complaint with the department of consumer affairs and the dental board of California and If they can't help me I guess I will have to pay a collections agency because I am not paying this business. Being totally honest, if the estimate had gone up 20%? 30%? I wouldn't have had any issue with it. 300% is completely ABSURD.

    Dr. Verma is the true dentist that every dentist is supposed to be, but is almost impossible to…read morefind nowadays. My dentist, whom I had trusted for years, retired, and my whole family became nomads. I finally gave up and went to a dentist recommended by one of my friends, only to be told that a tooth in the back was severely decayed and needed to be extracted. I panicked. "What about a root canal? I don't even have any pain!" He told me I didn't need that far-back tooth, with no explanation for why there was no pain. I left and looked for another dentist for a second opinion. I found Dr. Verma on Yelp. Her rating was great, and the reviews themselves felt genuine. Through my search, I learned how to read Yelp reviews about dentists: ignore reviews about how nice the office is or how friendly the staff is. I don't want a rude dentist, but a nice office? I'm not staying at a hotel. I also don't care about top-of-the-line machines -- dentists take out huge loans for those, and they tend to upsell unnecessary treatments. I'm also cautious about young dentists: they have loans to pay back, which often means higher quotes, and they don't yet have the long-term experience to see how their treatments hold up over time. I tried to find Dr. Verma's website, but she doesn't have one -- which suggested to me that she doesn't need one to attract patients. I was convinced she must be the one. She examined the tooth and told me it didn't need to be extracted yet. She even said she might be able to save it without a root canal. She was upfront that she couldn't guarantee anything until she opened the tooth, but she gave me hope. In the end, she saved my tooth! She also cleans teeth herself . I have never met another dentist who does that. Now my entire family sees her. She is a doctor who genuinely wants you to have good health and keep your teeth for a long time. There are far too many dentists who act like car salespeople. If you're looking for a real dentist, she is the one. Her dental office is called Stowe Plaza Dental, and she shares the space with another dentist. I think he is great too.

Big difference to all the other Dentists we have been before that want to charge you for something else every time you go and tell you, you need this or that done. etc.... Dr. Verma is all about patient care and educating you about dental care etc.. so your teeth and gums stay healthy or become healthy again. She also does the teeth cleaning herself so it is done properly. We can highly recommend Dr. Anita Verma and her staff. Thank you, Dr. Verma for providing such excellent care.
