Once again I had another fantastic Dentist appointment today with Dr. Joe. He is a very honest and…read morepassionate Dentist and does fantastic work. Today I went in for a broken crown that was covering an implant I had done 10 years ago. Unfortunately the crown broke and he was able to offer me a great consultation and referral to the best Implant Dentist in the county to have the post removed so he can make a new crown with his great in house technology. By doing this it saves extra cost and time having an outside service do the crown that can often take many weeks. I would recommend Dr Joe Nguyen to anyone looking for professional honest Dentist!! Oh and he is also a great musician!! : )

All the dental hygienists I've had were great. Dr. Joe is able to make many kinds of night guards through his office, and he was really excited to show me one that is so durable that a car can drive over it haha. Hoping he does not retire for awhile :D The only thing that is confusing is that there is another dentist with almost the exact same name in Poway. Make sure to read the address very carefully when plugging into GPS!

Professional, friendly, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. Usually see Dr. Rygg-he's great. Today I saw Dr. Ortega-she was phenomenal! Ashley is up front and is always friendly and lets other members is the team know right away when I'm there. Merush (spelling) the hygienist is so kind, thorough, and gentle. The dental assistants have always been extremely kind and helpful. Today Monica helped me out-she was the bomb. She got my inlay designed really quickly and was patient and kind enough to let me watch the process when I asked. She kindly said, "it's your tooth-of course you can watch!" Seriously don't get how this place gets less than 5 stars. The dental team even stayed late today so I could get an inlay the same day as my exam so I didn't have to come back; top-notch and customer-oriented to say the least!!

I really wanted to love this place. I was excited to finally find a local dentist through my…read moreinsurance, but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth--literally and figuratively. From the moment I sat down, it felt like the goal wasn't to help me, it was to upsell me. A dental hygienist came in and strongly pushed an extremely expensive deep cleaning treatment, claiming I had gum disease and bone loss--despite no other dentist ever telling me this before. The plan involved lasers and multiple stages of treatment totaling around $2,200--and that was with my two insurance policies on file. I came in to address an painful bump on my palate and potentially a failing crown, but it seemed like unless I paid heavily out of pocket, they couldn't or wouldn't move forward. I only allowed them to do imaging and the exam. The rest felt like a sales pitch. And that's not why I go to a dentist. The doctor I saw (Dr. Ekta) told me that a root canal I had done at another office was "botched" and needed to be redone--which is fine, that's her professional opinion. But when I asked if she could write a brief statement or letter so I could appeal the insurance claim, she refused. To me, that's a red flag. If you're confident enough in your diagnosis to tell me I need to redo a major dental procedure, you should be confident enough to put that in writing to support your patient. I had to use her chart notes, which were vague at best. The only positive part of my visit was the x-ray technician--she had a great personality and made me feel comfortable during that part of the process. Props to her. But overall, the practice feels profit-driven, not patient-focused. Between the aggressive upselling, the lack of support with my insurance, and the general vibe of "pay big or get nothing," I won't be returning. And if you're thinking of coming here--read the reviews first.

I changed jobs about a year ago and with new jobs, I had new insurance coverage and was really worried I would have to go somewhere else but thankfully they accept my current insurance.

Their advice and recommendations have always been thoughtful and helpful. The entire staff is always friendly and personable, and a pleasure to deal with. I also appreciate that when some problem does come up, his office makes a real effort to get you seen and taken care of as soon as possible. I have a couple of friends who see dentists who still send out crowns to a lab to be made, which makes for a weeks long process. I only mention this because Dr. David makes your crown while you wait and has been doing this for so long I would have thought that all dentists were also doing this but I guess some don't. But I do know that his work is excellent and crowns always fit perfectly.
