And I appreciated that he lets you know what he is doing as he does it. The hygienist Annie, has a spunky personality and charismatic! Plus she does an excellent job cleaning. All the staff seem to enjoy working there and you can tell that they are appreciated and treated with respect. So very happy that we have found Dr. Matt, Annie and the team at Maple Family Dental.

While I initially wrote a glowing review for this practice, and some things still hold true - like…read morethe competency of the actual dentists and the integrity of one hygienist in particular (for reasons I will explain shortly), unfortunately there was more than one issue with an unbelievably rude receptionist/admin named Leticia that I simply can no longer look past. While I was still a patient and getting my teeth cleaned, I could literally her her ridiculing a question that I had asked another front staff member. When I say ridiculing I mean just that - she laughed out loud and acted as though it was an utterly idiotic thing to ask. When in truth, it was a pretty basic question about my insurance coverage for part of a complex and costly care plan. It rubbed me the wrong way and I did let it be known to higher-ups, but I chose not to update my YELP review at that time. I then had an unfortunate experience with a seasoned hygienist who wound up breaking a tool while working along my gum line. I give her credit for admitting it and insisting that we immediately get x-rays - to see where it lodged, since she feared I could choke on it later, or it could eventually come out of my nose while sleeping. Mind you, I'm a bit phobic about dentists to begin with, and for very good reasons. As a child, a dentist attempted to fill cavities in my mouth without numbing me at all. AND tragically, I had an Aunt with severe asthma who passed away after slipping into unconsciousness and not breathing - as a result of being too heavily sedated by a dentist. So to be told that a broken off and presumably sharp edged metal object was now floating around in my body looking for an exit was not only disconcerting - it was TERRIFYING! But I tried my best to keep my cool and not freak out. Had the hygienist not shown that level of integrity, it would have been a whole different story. Still, the situation would surely cause some to want to sue without a second thought. That's when things started to go south. Even though I had let the incident go, a sudden fear of being sued and subsequent resentment for the possibility surfaced. For instance, after EVERY single appointment I was asked to evaluate the visit. That felt like some type of preemptive defense tactic to prove I was happy with the care provided. Then, other dental hygienists started to seemingly act defensive on their colleague's behalf - by openly criticizing my complicated gum condition. Which had resulted from an auto-immune inflammation response to a prior laser surgery. The thing is, I had never registered a complaint about the tool broken off along my gum line incident, yet they were all acting defensive about it. I had actually long since let it go. The single time I had complained was about the receptionist's unacceptably rude behavior. I eventually left their care because of all this odd and offensively defensive behavior. A few years passed and a loved one' s long-term dentist wound up abruptly retiring, so I actually recommended Grand Dentistry to them, since they were nearby. When he called Grand Dentistry, he was immediately put off by the rudeness of the very same receptionist - Leticia. Who he said actually scoffed at his insurance provider and said they only take the elite version of it. The funny thing is that he works for a very well-known media company and they have a separate phone number just for employees under his company's plan. He just calls it a custom PPO plan, but I'm assuming that is what Leticia meant when she referred to "the elite version" that they take. Ironically, Leticia then proceeded to tell him that he was not on the elite plan and so his coverage with Grand Dentistry would largely be out of pocket. So not only is this woman rude beyond comprehension, she apparently doesn't do her job well. The worst part is that she seems overly confident that she is immune to criticism. And maybe she is. I'm not sure if she's related to, married to, or the girlfriend of a higher-up - but whatever the case is, her elitist attitude and condescending spirit are doing real harm to the reputation of this office. My loved one is not one to ever complain, he simply found another dentist and moved on. But the fact that Leticia is still there and still acting so rudely is what motivated my update today. When someone is potentially the first person to engage with a new patient, be it on the phone or in person, you should expect them to represent the ALOHA spirit that this place wants to be known for. Not the antithesis.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Escondido Modern Dentistry. I'm a 33 year old woman who's…read morehad a few epidurals in her life, I would gladly take 10 epidurals over the extreme dental pain I woke up with a few weeks ago with. My primary dental office was unavailable, so I desperately searched for the closest office covered by my insurance. From the very first call, they went above and beyond. They got me scheduled within the hour, which honestly felt like a lifesaver. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt welcomed, cared for, and genuinely listened to. The team was professional, kind, and incredibly accommodating, especially with my schedule and the fact that I have braces. They thoroughly assessed my situation and determined that I needed two root canals, explaining everything clearly and compassionately so I never felt overwhelmed or rushed. Dr. Escobedo was nothing short of amazing. Her expertise, calm demeanor, and genuine care made an incredibly painful and stressful situation so much easier. I have never cried from so much pain but upon arrival and during the exam and treatment, I knew I made the best choice in choosing to continue my care with Escondido Modern Dentistry. She listened, was empathetic and reassured me that I was going to walk out without pain and we'd address the root (no pun intended) cause. The entire experience from start to finish was seamless, efficient, and far beyond what I ever expected from an emergency dental visit. Patty, the office manager/front desk was very thorough when it came to explaining out of pocket costs and insurance. If you are in pain, need urgent care, or simply want a dental office that truly puts patients first, I cannot recommend Escondido Modern Dentistry enough. They turned a terrible situation into an incredibly positive experience, and I am beyond grateful.

New client here looking for a dentist. Tried contacting this number on three different occasions…read more One: no answer and was prompted to leave a voicemail. Two: a receptionist picked up the call alongside an overlap to the voicemail message recording so I hung up because I couldn't hear the live person over the voice recording. Three: some older sounding receptionist answers the call with "hello" & I ask "Is this the family dental of SM?" To which she responds with a bad attitude stating that she keeps answering my call and I do not answer her. After reading some reviews on yelp about a terrible receptionist, I think I met her. Congrats family dental for losing a client due to an ill mannered receptionist. Note to the receptionist, if you hate your job that much, you should find another one because you're terrible in customer service. As a patient, we deal with receptionists quite a lot since they are the face of the company. Saving myself the headache of dealing with this one. A dentistry could have the best drs, best techs but a horrible receptionist can quickly ruin all the hard work behind the scenes due to their rudeness.
