I have gone to this dentist for many years for the excellent care from the entire staff, from the front office, to the dental hygienist, to the many assistants, and of course the fine doctor himself. Across the board, they are efficient and knowlegable But also kind and friendly. That was critical for us in a dentist after having been disappointed and even put off by many before him. This team listened to our concerns, and at every turn, those preferences have been at the forefront of every aspect of care. Thank you, everyone. You are the best. read more

With over two decades of being a patient, I believe Dr. Fienberg is absolutely wonderful and, in my opinion, a master of his craft. Unfortunately, the way his office is managed has made it impossible for me to continue as a patient. Last year, my appointments were canceled more than three times in a row. The final straw came when the office canceled my confirmed appointment while I was already in the elevator on my way up. Because of my longstanding relationship with Dr. Fienberg and my respect for his work, I eventually decided to give the practice another chance. Now, I have had three more appointments canceled this year alone (with a delay of up to three months in between the canceled appointments before their next opening), typically receiving the cancellation call the day before or even the day of the appointment. Patients arrange work, childcare, and other responsibilities around these appointments, yet there seems to be very little regard for the disruption caused by repeatedly canceling at the last minute. It is incredibly disappointing because Dr. Fienberg is an exceptional dentist, but even excellent dental care cannot make up for an office that consistently overbooks, cancels appointments, and does not respect its patients' time. If you need a practice you can depend on to honor scheduled appointments, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. read more

Long time patient with the team and Dr. Feinberg. All are always gracious and easy going. The quality of their work is top notch. Luckily, I need minimal work! But I'm more apt to keep my appointments because I enjoy going there! Now who can say that about their dentist! read more

Excellent hygienist. Caring, friendly, and kind. I recommend Dr Feinberg to everyone.

Beginning with the front desk receptionist all the way to meeting Dr. Feinberg, first rate, EXCELLENT. Dr. Feinberg is very detailed oriented and pleasant; I enjoyed our interaction. read more

When you become Dr. Feinberg's patient you become a member of the family. Besides the excellent care, you receive emotional support and encouragement from his entire staff. I mean, who offers you a scone? They do along with a smile and and honest interest in you and yours. I look forward to my next appointment. Who looks forward to an appointment with the dentist? I do!! read more

No one likes going to the dentist with the exception of going to Dr Feinberg. The doctor takes time to know his patients. He doesn't rush to see the next patient. He is professional, knowledgeable and skilled in his field. read more

Had a cleaning with Gwyn and she is the BEST by far! Friendly, caring, and gentle ... she knows I hate going, but, not if she is cleaning my teeth! read more

Walking in the door you experience the warmth and professionalism of the staff. Dr Feinberg takes his time to listen to you and explain everything. He is very kind and he wanted to take care of me and my much needed dental work. I look forward to my future visits. read more

My son and I had a dental exam & cleaning with Dr. Feinberg but when we got to the office the receptionist said we did not have an appointment with the doctor just cleanings for the day. I distinctly remember making the appointment for the doctor with Eddie, the hygienist! The same thing happened the year before. I had to take the day off with no pay and still didn't get to see Dr. Feinberg because he wasn't in office. I would give a better rating, but I wouldn't know I never get to see the dentist enough to give them a rating! read more

I've been going to Dr. Feinberg's office for years and it has always been wonderful until today. I broke two teeth on my upper partial and had to wait over a month and a half to get an appointment. Went there first thing this morning and just received a call that the lab didn't pick up my partial until 1:30pm! This means that I will not be able to get my partial back until noon TOMORROW. I was supposed to have gotten it back the same day at 3:30p. So, now I have no upper teeth and have been put in a situation of possibly being late to another appointment because of this. Totally unacceptable. read more

Needed new dentures and was not comfortable thinking of the process for new dentures. At Dr. Feinberg's office was smooth with the friendly Dr. Feinberg and his staff. They can be busy but once the Doctor has your attention his focus is on you. Make sure you tell all issues and discomforts. They want to make you as comfortable as they are able. That is my experience.. read more

The staff was very polite and proficient in my language, English.The wait time was not too long. Dr.Feinberg was friendly and communicated well.overall a pleasant experience. read more

Great dentist who has loyal clients who understand he is busy and they trust him. Only dentist that ever helped me. I am happy with staff who are very nice and professional. read more

Esmarelda was the best hygienist, hands down! she was meticulou, thoroug, and very knowledgeabl. She showed me things I never knew existe. My teeth felt the cleanest they had ever bee. read more

This is the best office. Has new advanced 3D images for my jaw and teeth. I had severe tooth pain for days and he took care of me over the weekend. I had a terrible Root Canal with jaw pain. Thank you for saving me. Thumbs up;) Sharie, Vanessa, Christina, Yvette and all the hygienist are the best. Especially Dr Feinberg read more

I can't praise this clinic enough. I'm a scaredy cat, even for cleanings. I also have a prosthesis in my mouth from a jaw removal. I need extra care. They prep me for the procedure and distract me throughout the process, which, for me, is needed. Dr. Feinberg often walks out with his patients to the waiting room. He's so comfortable with everyone who comes into his orbit. His staff is as friendly and professional as he is. I highly recommend trying out this dentist. read more

I'm not very articulate so I'll just say that Dr. Feinberg's is the only dental office I've been completely comfortable going to.

Dr. Feinberg and his staff provide excellent care. My most recent visit to their office was for a cleaning, which was done in a comfortable, friendly, and expert fashion. Dr. Feinberg is a very personable, easy-going guy. read more

Ok, the 3rd crown that my wife had Feinberg do has cracked. My wife had a filling to try to correct it temporarily, that cracked. I'd write more, but I am so disappointed. read more

Amazing employees, affordable prices and great results. I felt genuinely cared for every step of the way. This is the first office I've been too that didn't seem money hungry, but genuinely invested in their patients which is unfortunately rare nowadays. I got a teeth cleaning and X-rays done as well as my teeth examined by Dr. Feinberg. read more

Dr. Feinberg and staff (dental assistants, front desk, hygienists) all were utmost, professional, knowledgeable and prompt in getting my dental needs met. I am very grateful for their services. read more

I had a not so good experiencece here. Teeth cleaning done very poorly; coffee stains still present and sore gums for days. The DDS said that i needed a new mouthguard when my old one had only been used for a few weeks. Not impressed. read more

Amazing top level of care quality. Dr.Feinberg is a master of his trade and always delivers the most professional experience and top care during each visit. I have had many friends and family members transfer over to Dr. Feinberg and each one has said the same! Don't look anywhere else for your dental needs. read more

This is my second posting. I do not know how to attach this to my first review which was based on my initial appointments: x-ray, 3-D scan, examination, etc. Since that time, Dr. Fineberg has lasered my gum line with a special treatment called LANAP, extracted 3 teeth, and fitted me with a lower partial denture. As you can imagine, that was an extensive experience, but I was in the hands of a master craftsman and his loving capable team. As always Arcy was my guide, explaining every step, providing encouragement, and always having my back. For the first time in 20 years, I can now look people in the eye and speak with confidence. read more

All my visit with Dr Feinberg office is pleasant, courteous, and very professional. I will always come to have my dental works here. Thank you Mam's & Sir's. read more

I can understand if there as a patient that needs more care, but we waited 40 minutes past our appointment time until we were called back, another 30 minutes until we actually saw the doctor, at which point he came and fiddled with the chair before leaving the room for another 10. All of this for a visit that truly only took 15 minutes for dental impressions. His bedside manner was good, and he knew what he was doing, but the amount of time we waited was inexcusable. read more

I visited Dr. Feinberg's clinic many times and the outcome was always appreciated in terms of care treatment and overall office experience. Dr. Feinberg is an awesome doctor with funny sense of humor! read more

This is hard for me because I never do this, but after my last 3 visits and only needing a scan to see if I am ready to receive my implant I have to... all 3 times I arrive 10 maybe 15 minutes early, all 3 times I am there for over an hour or more after my appointment time, I don't know if it is bad time management or if they just take walk ins and every emergency they can throughout the day, but when you have to use a vacation or sick day for your appointment and something like this happens you get the feeling that they don't consider your time valuable, and the only time someone mentions anything about your wait time is after they are bringing you in to your room.. nothing while you are waiting for hours.. I have no problem with the dentist or the front office people themselves they are very polite and professional, it's the lack of time and management planning around around their scanning machines that needs a lot of work. If you are ok with waiting in a very small office on very uncomfortable chairs for hours then this office is for you.. but if value your time I would seek care elsewhere. Update Dr Feinberg called me that evening and apologized for everything that had happened and was very sincere, he is a great dentist with a very good rapport with his patients, he asked wether I would come back as a patient and unfortunately at this time I do not see that happening because the issues in the office seem to be systemic and need some time to work themselves out.. I will however upgrade my review with another star for taking the time to speak with me regarding my concerns. read more

All professionals. Superb courtesy. Richard Feinberg, DDS is a keeper. Simply the BEST read more

Every week we give Kuddos to folks. Today, we take no pleasure in writing this "negative" review. First, we want to say that Dr. Feinberg is a wonderful person and he is a very caring Doctor. The person who handles the patient's insurance, was rude, had no patience, spoke to us in an abrupt, irritated way. We told her to please not speak to us that way. She just acted like she never even heard our comment. The staff person said she would take care of what we called her about by the end of the week. She told us not to call her, but instead to wait for her to call us. Today is a month later from when we called her. We still have not heard from her. We were initially thrilled to have Dr. Feinberg as our Dentist. That staff person in his office has caused Dr. Feinberg to lose two new patients. We do not recommend this Dentist office. Mr. and Mrs. read more

Dr. Feinberg is awesome. Always available for his patients and seems to really enjoy his work. My last visit I thought was an emergency and he saw me right away. It turned out to be a tmj issue and after a thorough exam I was fitted for a guard. His staff is great and his sense of humor is a bonus. In office wait times are minimal. I've been a patient for years and I will continue. read more

I never thought I'd ever say a root canal was a great experience, but Dr. Feinberg and Yvette are just that wonderful! I can honestly say that he is the best dentist I have ever seen and I am so happy that I switched to his office! I have a lot of dental anxiety and was reallt nervous about how my appointments were going to go. Everyone was kind, patient, and he really took his time and was as gentle as possible. Most importantly, he is a skilled dentist and his work was quick, efficient and well done! I am so looking forward to continuing my care with him going forward! read more

This was my first visit yet the staff treated me like an old friend. Check in was smooth. They showed concern for my comfort and safety. The kept me informed of the processes and the reason for them. They explained the follow up procedures after this first visit. Dr. Feinberg and staff took good care of me. read more

Richard is a thief. He stole my tooth material when he overdid the repair of a small crack. Richard offered me a custom 1/4 crown that he said would be a more effective restoration that would be better than a composite filling. A lot more expensive, too. From 1/4 tooth involvement, Richard took almost half the dental material so he could install a repair that didn't meet the edge of the tooth. He also drilled and destroyed a lot of dental tissue that was quite healthy. I think from the way Richard prepared my tooth that He stole healthy dental tissue t so he could set my tooth up for an even more expensive root canal. The custom made device that Richard Fienberg made failed with months. He put it in Sept 2015. It fell out by April. He weakened the tooth by applying the crown at the distance from flush to the tip surface of the tooth. That created a malocclusion that caused me pain within a week that has t stopped all this time. I also have a facial deformity from the malocclusion. Richard sabotaged my tooth and stole dental material so he could cause an imbalance when I chew. The way he has my upper teeth hitting the lower teeth caused so much shift in my mouth that my face is crooked. I got a refund. After the Feinberg custom crown fell off the fault that he set up in my mouth, I went back to tell Richard that all my suspicions that I wrote to his website right after I noticed that the crown didn't meet the surface of the tooth. It was obvious what would happen as the upper tooth began to fall down into the crooked space that he had made drilling and applying his special device. I was in pain within a week. I found out that there are no dental malpractice attorneys. When I told Richard about an unethical dentist that I refused, he implied to me that he, an association leader, believes that it's impossible to make a living as a dentist without a few tricks to deceive the public. Richard worked for the associations and believed it wasn't possible to pay for all the offices, machines and staff without a few tricks. I didn't think he would. Especially after we talked about it. And especially with all his association credientials! That is the day I learned association are where crooks share and get protection. Richard Feinberg, DDS of La Mesa, CA used his dental skill to make a Jenga game of balance in my mouth. He sabotaged the tooth so well that the next dentist couldn't fix it. Richard set the tooth up to fail as a simple cheap repair. Instead he upsold me with deceit about the effects, stole healthy dental tissue, caused me pain since Sept 2015, and stripped me of my faith in men that take leadership positions in professional associations. They don't protect consumers. They create better crooks. The day I went to tell Richard Feinberg the dentis what a greedy and evil person he is for causing me pain and setting me up for more dental expenses, an official was in his office investigating him. She is the one that insisted he give me a full refund and gave me the medical records. Some of them. Richard lied about the big colorful diagnostic images that he took. I asked for them but he said he didn't have them and the agent enforcing my refund didn't press it. Richard kept the individual color microscopic images because they make his dental malpractice for profit so obvious. read more
