Both of my kids have had random mouth injuries in the last few months so we have had to go twice recently. The new dentist Dr. Rouel is very informative/knowledgeable and kind. I like him so far. We haven't come for our regular cleanings yet, but I don't anticipate any issues. The office staff is always pleasant as well. read more

Visited this morning for a dental cleaning exam and x-ray, I was delighted to see how beautiful the office was in all the girls were smiling. The staff was so nice. Dr. Rouel was very welcoming & very knowledgeable. So happy to have him in East County. Best dentist office in El Cajon city!! read more

Dr. Christensen and his staff are amazing. When you walk into the office it's clean and very welcoming. Not to mention the staff who is just as great and professional. When I go to get any kind of work done either it being a cleaning or a procedure, they are the best at what they do and highly recommend this Dental office . I have been coming here now for a few years and will keep on going to see Dr . C and his staff. read more

CAUTION: tried to upsell. Michelle Forster is very rude and unprofessional. I got a quote. Then was quoted a different price. They said that they didn't remember the initial quote and they never wrote it down. They said that they didn't have time to go back and forth about it. Asked to speak to her supervisor and she refused. I told them I would go somewhere else and she replaced "good we don't want to have you as a patient. " wow. read more

Excellent service and very caring. My deep cleaning performed by Emily was above and beyond my expectations. She was kind, thorough and professional. read more

I have a terrible fear of dentists but my friend recommended San Diego Smiles years ago. Dr. Christensen and his staff are the best. Everyone in the office is so kind. Thank you again for fitting me in at the last minute. I always appreciate you! read more

We always have a positive experience at SD Smiles. They're friendly, very little wait time, professional and gentle.

I'm really bummed I have to write this review. My family and I went here for years... yes my whole family (4 people). Initially, the office was amazing... Dr. Christensen, Carly and all his staff made us feel welcome and handled us very professional. These last few years, new staff, Christine and a few others are not so kind! They decided to go out of network with one of our plans and started billing us without notice. Furthermore, Christine or Christina ( whatever her name is), was extremely RUDE and not bothered to loose all of us as patients for the sake of money! The greed has taken over and patients mean nothing but a number anymore. Too bad, so sad... we found a great, accommodating Dr. to accept us and show extreme professionalism. I do not recommend this office anymore... such a shame! read more

Like most people...I get so scared to go to the Dentist!! Since I was a child, every Dentist experience has been rough. They were always mean to me about how horrible my teeth are. I know. Its my fault. But I would truly go to try and make them better only to leave and never go back. From my 1st call to coming and dealing with the receptionist, the hygienist and the dentist and his assistant, EVERYONE WAS SO NICE and loving. I am so THANKFUL I found this Dentist and actually look forward to going back and getting my teeth fixed. I really can't thank them all enough. If you're like me and the Dentist scares you, give them a try. You won't be sorry. read more

My experience @ Dr Christiansen's office was very positive. There was no wait time before the hygenist took me back. She was very thorough & professional. She updated my medical history & checked my blood pressure, explaining every step of the procedure. She was gentle but thorough while cleaning & polishing my teeth. Dr Christiansen checked my mouth & I was done. The office staff are all pleasant & friendly, making a dental appt a good experience! read more

I loooove Michelle! She always does a GREAT job and is so nice and easy to talk with while she's taking care of my dental work! Also, when you enter the office you are ALWAYS pleasantly greeted by Carly! She puts you at ease right away and explains everything fully. Have questions? Just ask and she'll get the situation resolved. Doc Christensen takes care of everything you need and is personable and friendly. Just an excellent office! read more

Dr. Kirk and Melissa were quick and comforting. I needed major dental work to alleviate pain. They were clear with what they where going to do and how much it was going to cost. The hardest part about dental work is the needle that it takes to numb. I did not even feel it. The office is immaculately professional and personable. Thank you for being there for me a very important part of my health care. read more

Quick in, quick out. Very friendly and professional staff. Nice clean office in a safe area. I got in early to do my paperwork and was taken to a chair really fast. X-rays were done very quickly and the dentist came in shortly after that. Quick exam and booked more appointments in the next week or so. I'm very happy with my visit and looking forward to getting my work done soon. read more

Ive been going here for almost a year and I'm very happy with there services. So far I've never had a problem with getting my teeth cleaned at this location. They are fast and very meticulous. Great job read more

I love EVERYTHING about Dr. Christensen! I don't know where to begin. I am 100% petrified of the dentist office and have not been in years! I have that much anxiety. When I called SD smiles, Carly listened to my entire life story. Carly reassured me I was in perfect hands, she scheduled an appointment for X-rays and told me after that visit a dental plan would be discussed to what ever comfort level I would be ok with. After X-rays Dr. Christensen went over a treatment plan and addressed ALL of my concerns including my high anxiety! We scheduled my appointment the following week which would be a 4 hour visit and let me tell you Dr. Christensen understood the assignment! I give him, the staff and facility an A+ and 110%! I would give more stars if I could. Dr. Christensen is stuck with me for the rest of my dental needs! My entire family is ready to make appointments! read more

Always friendly...caring...courteous.. Attention. Perfessional...makes coming to the Dentist a pleasure read more

Went in today for my regular 6 month appointment. Stacy was my dental hygienist today and she is great!!! She was very friendly, and personable as well as extremely knowledgeable. I have always had a good experience at SD smiles but today she definitely made it even better! I go back in soon to start my Invisalign process and look forward to continuing working with the team at San Diego Smiles. read more

Our family is still suffering the consequences from fillings and Invisalign done improperly. I'm beyond annoyed that i allowed myself to trust this dr with my family's dentals needs. Thankful we found a trusted dentist to repair what was done. read more

Hands down the best dental office I have been to. Everyone is so kind and helpful. Dr. Christensen was very thorough and informative. Really positive experience here! read more

So very please that even during the stay at home order was in place the dentist was able to get me in the next day to pull a tooth. The staff and dentist are very professional. They help you to be comfortable and relax. I have never had an issue here. Plus never have any real pain after. They always give you an information sheet so you know what you should or shouldn't do. I would recommend going here for any dental procedure need. You will be treated as one of the family. read more

This visit was for deep cleaning, I was so nervous everyone I spoke to told me how painful it was going to be. My concern was nerve that causes my Trigeminal Neuralgia would be aggravated and bring my pain back which I've had under control. Michelle hygienist was absolutely fabulous, I felt no pain during or after, she took the time to explain to me every step of the way what she was doing, she even kept my husband informed how much longer it was going to take. Everyone there was so cordial, professional and definitely customer focused. Cindy my friend had told me don't listen to anybody and she was correct, obviously if others thought it was painful, they've being going to the wrong place. Thank you to all read more

Stopped by yesterday to fix a broken tooth/filling...from the second I walked in, I received the best service I think I've ever received from a practice!!! The front desk was warm and friendly (you'd of thought they knew me 10+ years!) both assistants and Dr. Christiansen were very attentive and erased my "fears" of seeing the dentist. Highly recommend to those looking for beyond professional dental care with a positive atmosphere to match. read more

I absolutely love this dental team. Prior to coming to SD Smiles, going to the dentist was a nightmare. Carly is amazing at explaining benefits and billing. She always follows up and send reminders. Every time I come into the office she and Christina cheerfully greet you. Cindy is an absolute joy and so is Dr. Christensen. They make everything less scary, explain the process, give great after care instructions and are super sweet. They care a lot about your comfort and made me a lot less anxious. Dr. Christensen is also very clear about options and gives you info for long term solutions and not temporary fixes. I have been encouraging all my friends and family to change to SD Smiles and I will keep coming back to this awesome team. read more

I haven't had the best experiences with dentists and haven't been for check ups or work in a while but this place makes me feel super comfortable with the least amount of pain with the least amount of anastetics... it's now my go to place for all my dental work. read more

I went to this dentist based on the glorious recommendations given to them by multiple friends of mine. I have had numerous bad dentistry experiences throughout my early years which had kept me from going back. After 8 long years of no dentist visits, I found myself in bad straights when I had a persistent tooth ache. I took my friend's advice and went here. Within minutes they had diagnosed the issue which required a root canal. I expressed my concerns to Dr. Christensen and both he and the dental hygienist were all ears. They ensured I was comfortable throughout the procedure and made sure I was pain free. I don't write many reviews, verified by my minimal activity on this app. But their level of professionalism shouldn't go unnoticed. After years of no dentist appointments, I immediately scheduled myself up for a follow up exam because I trust this practice. Won't be going anywhere else. read more

I would highly recommend this dental office to anyone who is looking for high quality care, a welcoming environment, and staff that cares about making you comfortable. read more

Went in to get zoom whitening done. Right as I entered, the staff was extremely welcoming and friendly and the office was super nice and clean. Dr.Christensen and the front all the way to the back office were amazing and professional. The whitening can be tedious as there are four rounds as well as getting moods if your mouth for take home trays, but there's a tv right there with full access to the remote while you're sitting under the light. I wish they took my dental insurance because I would make this my primary dentist too if I could.... I came here because they did the Zoom whitening Specifically and I'm so glad I did. read more

The best Dentist and team in the area. They're kind, gentle, knowledgeable, up to date. I highly recommend them.

I began with a wonderful experience at this dentist office, the front desk and assistant ladies are wonderful people persons. I've never had great brushing habits and came to them for 2 root canals and crowns. The first one went great, and I thought the last one went great as well until I was getting ready to leave and at the last minute Dr. Christensen briefly mentioned that his file broke inside my canal, and gave me a referral to a endodontist to remove it, costing me an extra $560 out of pocket. His response was "well, the tooth was so badly decayed you would have had to go anyways." If that was the case I feel I would have gotten referred to there in the first place, not because your tool at your hand broke. $560 may seem like pocket change to a DDS salary I get it, so good thing the office won't be getting the thousands more from me for all my other cavities and work that needs to be done. If this sour experience won't get me to brush and floss more often, I am doomed for sure. read more

Wonderful staff!! Kind Doctor!! Really cares for their patients!! Really helped me when I broke a tooth and my continued oral hygiene!!
