    They cancelled our appointment twice. Once without telling us and on the 2nd time they scheduled us at 6am knowing that they open @ 8am. Then cancelled on us again.

    They're patient and work well with both my kids. Been coming here for years and highly recommended!

    Dr. Hope takes my son out for a walk when he gets overwhelmed, what other dentist does this?

    The care and compassion Dr. Hope provides at the dentist is incredible. She is so understanding to my oldest son, who is on the spectrum, always offering a walk to help calm him down when he gets too overwhelmed. My oldest smashed his mouth on the bathtub and messed up his teeth, somehow she was able to get him to let her file his teeth, our pediatrician has a hard time even checking his ear. My youngest son too, she is just wonderful with kids! She is the very best! So grateful we found her! There's not one thing wrong with this place, all of their employees are so helpful and always smiling. Today was our 5th time here and we won't be going anywhere else, thank you all so much

We had a hard time finding the right dentist because other offices were charging ridiculous prices and recommending unnecessary treatments. We even got completely different quotes from different places, which made us skeptical. Then we found Dr. Gire -- he was extremely helpful, transparent, and reassuring. The kids' teeth are healthy, and they actually look forward to their visits now! The office is very kid-friendly, and the kids love that they get a balloon at the end of their appointment.

The price of the dental work was under $400 for everything. Could be that I have a decent insurance. My issue is that the anesthesiologist Dr Zala accepts care credit but charges you 10% more if you choose to use it. In all my experience with care credit over the years I've never been charged a fee to use it. The point of it is to actually pay less, and allow you to not pay interest for a set amount of time. He also tries to get away with this by calling it a consultation fee. He also flat out told me he does this because their fees are too high. Well after I called care credit they explained the doctor was not supposed to do this and it broke their contract agreement. If I would have paid with cash or a different card, I would not have had this extra "10 percent consultation fee" on top. So it doesn't sound like consultation fee. Also the price was $225 for every 15 minutes and although my daughter was done in under an hour, I felt I got charged for well over what he did.

    It has been awhile since I have been to the dentist. So after getting my insurance in order, and…read morebooking an appointment I was more nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. There was a lot of people in the waiting room and I can see why because when they take you back there are so many little exam rooms all equipped with dentistry type of dentist stuff. First appointment, x-rays and a quick scrap and polish of the teeth. Then the news... I needed a full mouth deep cleaning under gums, and two root canals. My Amazon wish list items would have to wait, and next week I would return to take care of the damage. The good - I got everything done in one day because a patient cancelled. The bad- They had to double numb my mouth. I couldn't tell if I was drooling or just imaging it. The ugly- If you have insurance, all the procedures are going to be expensive. I would prepare yourself, and if you have to finance it, look at the finance charges, and pick the 3 month if possible. In the end, the staff was great, the work was thorough, and my teeth are probably happier than I am. Sure, I left with half my face numb and my bank account needing a root canal of its own, but that's more a reality of dentistry than a reflection on the office. If you need dental work done and can handle a little sticker shock, these folks will take good care of you.

    They were good at the beginning, doctor was nice. There's a fortune in old crockery on display. But…read moreovertime they pushed only absurdly expensive procedures. They showed little interest in working with my insurance company. They asked for cash and offered loans with ridiculous finance charges. After you join their club, which is extra. So they fail in every way for consumer protection. It's unfair to seniors or anyone on a budget. They could have just refused me outright and it would have saved me time dealing with the sales person.

By the time they brought me back, it was close to closing, and everything felt extremely rushed. The X-rays were done very quickly, and the process was actually painful -- something I've never experienced before. The cleaning was also done very fast. After the appointment, I was told I had two cavities, which shocked me- i have never had cavities and I take really good care of my teeth. I decided to get a second opinion from two other dentists, and both confirmed that I have zero cavities. Because of this experience, I felt uncomfortable with the level of care and professionalism. It honestly felt more focused on treatment costs than on my dental health. I will not be returning. 2 stars because it was clean and the chair I was sitting in for almost an hour was comfortable.

Wait, what? I had a deep pocket at the gum of the tooth, my tooth was strong, not broken and not loose. They made me believe this was my only option and proceeded to explain that an implant would be the way to go since a bridge wouldn't work due to the root issue. The implant procedure would be 8-9 months and I would have a flipper during that time. It was going to cost me $9k for one tooth!!! Can you imagine the anxiety and stress this caused? I decided to get a second opinion. I researched best periodontist in San Diego and after his thorough examination and panoramic X-rays he was shocked and dumbfounded as to why Santee Smiles periodontist wanted to pull the tooth, he saw no bone loss or root issue. All I needed was a minor gum surgery called Guided Tissue Regeneration that costs $1500 (claim to insurance) and get this, once he was done with the procedure he confirmed no bone loss or root issue!!! Be very careful to believe their treatment plan and get a second opinion. I am changing dentists, don't even want my teeth cleaned here, it always costs me something extra... just a money grab.

The billing department continually sent us the bill that was supposed to go to the Navy. When we got a collections letter, we called and they said don't worry about it and that they would send it to the Navy. We continued to get the bills until the second collections letter arrived and we just paid it to be done with it. This has been going on for over 6 months. For those who aren't familiar with military medical, they refer you out to civilian practices when they don't have capacity to get you in. All required medical care is covered by the military for Active Duty personnel. Since my husband was retiring, that's what the Navy did. It was a requirement for his discharge from Active Duty and in no way his responsibility to pay. It's really frustrating that this small business could not get their communication figured out, and now we have to try and get reimbursed $1,000 from the military.

She explained the process in a way that made it easy to understand, walked us through what recovery would look like, and made sure we felt completely comfortable with the post-procedure exercises. She emphasized that the decision was 100% ours to make, based on her expert recommendations, and we never felt pressured. When she took him back for the frenectomy, we were nervous -- but when she returned, he wasn't even crying. In fact, he looked instantly relieved, which gave us so much peace of mind. The precision of the laser she used clearly made a difference, and thanks to her guidance and our consistency with the stretches, his recovery went really smoothly. The entire office was warm and welcoming. The nurses were sweet, and the space is decorated in such a fun, kid-friendly way. A week after his procedure, when we came in for a follow-up, Dr. Chan even took a photo of him in his cute little outfit to share on her office's social media. That small gesture made the experience feel even more personal and thoughtful. Highly recommend Dr. Chan to any parent looking for a provider who is both professional and compassionate. We felt seen, supported, and most importantly, our baby is doing so much better now.
