Surprise bill for $1,000 I did OrthoFX with Lifetime Smiles…read moreand it was a long, expensive, and frustrating experience. Got my evaluation and aligners sent with a treatment plan of 15 weeks. I realize a refinement or two is likely, however it took at least 5 or 6 refinements, several of which had the same issue: My bite was consistently messed up the SAME WAY. My front teeth would connect and my molars would not, so chewing was extremely challenging. I don't know why it was always the same issue, but after several refinements then two of my front teeth were connecting uncomfortably. I still feel it wasn't resolved entirely but by this point it was clear they weren't going to change it with all the pushback I got when I brought it up. So now I still have a messed up bite. I was seeing Dr. Mc Donald until she retired, but got switched to Dr Milakis, who doesn't listen to patient concerns. I brought up the ongoing issue on the last few appts and he told me they "lined up correctly and there wasnt anything more he would change." Yet here I am stuck with an uncomfortable bite but he didn't care because it looked correct. Now it's something I have to live with. And I was told I still owed $1000 on treatment in Sept 2025 as I was ordering my retainers, and told they wouldn't order them without payment. So it's taken nearly two and a half YEARS and cost far more than estimated. I called insurance and they never even got a pre-authorization. I think a lot of this mess could have been avoided if they had bothered to do so and gotten an actual number from Delta, who only covered $1000. Trying to untangle the billing to understand their bookkeeping is a nightmare. One estimate has insurance estimated at $1500, another at $2000, neither of which were accurate. In the end, I am stuck with $1000 more than planned, and could have been avoided by getting a preauthorization and getting an accurate number from the beginning. Bottom line, avoid this place. You'll spend more time and money than they estimate and still be unhappy with the results.

I often see reviews at other dentists offices saying they were pressured to fill in cavities. I've never had that, and they're very supportive of making sure the care I'm given is something I really need. I've recommended them non-stop to my friends and realized it was time I do a review too! I had Invisalign with another orthodontist in 2020 and have had some issues post (teeth hitting, etc.) Dr. Sammy has been extremely invested in helping me fix my bite and checking in on what might be causing me issues, even though he wasn't my orthodontist. Overall a very trustworthy and skilled dentists office!

Dr. Bainer.....Talk about a Dream Team! In the dental…read moreprofession, I'd consider you and your team are IT ! Time to seek dental attention again, you say? Another doctor? A stranger because you're new to this area? Not only a doctor but a dentist doctor who's sure to cause pain ? AAUUGGHH! Go visit Dr. David Bainer, say friends ! So very reluctantly, I follow their advice ! I shuffle half-heartedly up to the front door of his office, not at all looking forward to what lies beyond. But then, I'm pleasantly surprised by the very welcoming receptionist, Lina. OK, I feel better already! Then comes Medical Assistant, "Bailey" who instantly charms and engages me about Dr. Bainer and what lies ahead today as she escorts me into the inner chamber. Clearly, Bailey loves her job and respects Dr. Bainer, settling most of my apprehensions. Next up is Dr. Bainer himself, and OMG, I was totally impressed by him, first as a gentleman, second as a knowledgeable and charming dentist who gave me the best medical experience I've encountered in 80 years of visiting doctors ! For me t'was a "red letter day!" Most notable about Dr. Bainer was his kindness and compassion, as exceptional as his obvious drive to deliver the highest possible standard of patient care. I left with a confidence that he would do his very best hereafter to help me and soon my wife, who dreads dentists with a passion! T'would be easy for critics to claim I'm over the top with praise here, but I exaggerate not! Everybody I met on the team was exceptional. Bottom line, Dr. Bainer will be our dentist for the remainder of our lives. Thank you ever so much Dr. Bainer, Bailey, Lina and other team members for such an experience. And may God richly bless YOU all as you press on giving your patients such superlative dental care! Yours sincerely, Bruce and Carole Page

I am so sad to see the ratings for El Norte Family Dental. I had the BEST experience I have ever…read morehad with a dentist office today, March 6. I highly recommend you give them a try.. you will not regret it! My daughter (7YO) and I switched over to El Norte after mediocre services from another Escondido dentist. My daughter and I had an hour each dedicated to our visit.. wow! Very impressed. As the employees walked in to get their days started, all of them greeted us with a smile and a "hello" as they walked through the waiting room. I immediately felt welcomed, and nothing felt rushed, which is rare nowadays. My daughter came in for her bi-annual visit and the staff was SO kind and patient with her. She has a horrible gag reflex and doesn't love the dentist. They showed and explained everything to her, and the appointment was a success. The Dentist recommended some preventative care for her back molars (sealants) which I accepted and that was also done with care. After my daughter, it was my turn, and I unfortunately needed a filling. Took care of this during this visit and also had my teeth cleaned. While I was getting my x-rays and before my husband was able to pick up my 7 and 3 year olds, the staff kindly kept an eye on them, ensuring I could concentrate on my teeth. I felt very blessed to have been in that office with such understanding people. Usually, people get upset when kids are around--not them. The staff and dentist took their time to ensure their work was top notch and at the same time, I was not in there for half a day which I truly appreciated! They talked to me about Invisalign which I was thinking about any way and will most likely be moving forward with that once my new insurance kicks in. Everything went off without a hitch and again, everyone was SO nice. 5 out of 5 stars for this office! I highly recommend it! PS. I would ignore the reviews about costs--insurance coverage and amounts charged back to patients are dictated by the insurance company, not the dentist.

I called about my sharp chipped tooth but they said I had to call and first come in for an exam and x-rays and then schedule getting the tooth fixed at a later date- fine. Of course after the exam they said I needed the whole deep clean etc etc, fine. I came in to get my tooth capped, and they completely messed it up. It doesn't feel anything like a tooth. It's a back molar and the middle part is filled in and flat, unlike a normal molar which has a divot in the middle. It "bubbles" in the back and has a very abnormal shape. The texture of the whole thing is not smooth. And, worst of all, when she was grinding it down; she did too much on one side and the sharp part is exposed again. Now I have to go somewhere else and somehow start over. I mentioned my concerns when I was there but she wasn't understanding.

I have now had 3 visits to North County Oral and Facial Surgery…read more My AMAZING oral surgeon was Dr. Soelberg. I am so grateful fate set me up with him. Germaine & the entire front and back office are equally amazing. I felt heard & supported. I felt understood and listened to. I felt empathy; I felt like I was having a genuine human interaction, which is getting rare these days. Absolutely everyone there was friendly AND professional! They completely humored me, put up with my bad jokes and nervous babbling & laughter; answered my questions and listened to my concerns. Germaine was the best! Super funny guy himself! I hate to say it, but he was my favorite. though everybody there was awesome. And let me tell you, Dr. Soelberg has a magic touch! I had 13 teeth extracted, 3 alveoplasty's with 3 sutures. And that was my second visit. I had an extraction a month before this and had zero pain afterwards. Then, I literally had almost zero pain at all 13 extraction sites. Now my jaw is another story. But that is normal & I'm grateful for the i uprofen. I'm not sure if it IS normal to have almost zero pain at the extraction sites, but I did not. I'm not even sure how that's possible. They truly have a magic touch. The facility is gorgeous, super clean, warm and inviting. I really just can't emphasize adequately how absolutely awesome Dr Soelberg & the staff are. They made an absolutely terrifying, life changing procedure, bearable. I am forever grateful and I would recommend them 100%! Big thanks to the entire staff at NCOFS!

I am writing to express my concerns regarding the care my son received during his recent wisdom…read moreteeth extraction by Dr. Soelberg. My adult son, who has high-functioning autism, underwent surgery under general anesthesia earlier today. We arrived ten minutes prior to his scheduled appointment, and two female assistants were prompt in escorting him at the appointed time. When I requested to accompany him to the treatment room to help him feel more at ease, I was abruptly told by a male assistant, "Sorry, you can't." The tone and manner of this response felt dismissive and lacking in empathy, especially given my son's condition. This same assistant proceeded to review the discharge instructions with me in the lobby. I explained that, since my son was receiving general anesthesia and this was his first surgical procedure, I wished to be present in the recovery room to help ensure he remained calm upon waking. The assistant did not respond to my request, leaving me with the impression that my presence would be permitted. To my surprise, after a wait of less than forty minutes, I was informed that I needed to drive around to the back of the building to pick up my son. Upon arrival, I observed the male and female assistants helping him to walk. He was clearly disoriented and unsteady on his feet. I was deeply concerned that no wheelchair was used, especially considering the effects of anesthesia. Once he was seated in the car, I noticed blood pooling in his mouth. I brought this to the assistants' attention, and the male assistant promptly blamed my son for not biting down firmly on the gauze. This was an unfair and inaccurate assessment; the bleeding was significant and not due to any lack of compliance on my son's part. Nevertheless, they replaced the gauze before departing. I am extremely disappointed with the overall quality of care and communication we received. While the facility itself is aesthetically pleasing, the lack of compassion, accommodation, and post-operative follow-up has left me feeling disheartened. In contrast, when my daughter had her wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Alan Shelhamer, the experience was markedly different. Although her procedure was done under local anesthesia, she was observed for a significantly longer period following surgery. I was allowed to be with her in the recovery room, Dr. Shelhamer spoke with me personally afterward, and his assistant called later that day to check on her recovery. Not once today did I have the opportunity to speak with Dr. Soelberg, nor has anyone from the office followed up to check on my son's well-being. This lack of communication and care is troubling and warrants serious reflection.
