As someone who suffers from PTSD he made me feel so ashamed that I started crying during the appointment. He didn't address it or care about it - instead he forced me to hold a mirror and said "look at how much plaque you have in your teeth. Hold it up, no don't put it down, let me show you how bad it is." I've never felt so belittled at a dentist's office before. I go to Gentle Dental and they are way better. Avoid this place at all costs.

I was very happy with my first visit with Dr Al Khouri for dental exam and broken tooth. The…read moreoffice was busy but I was seen on time. The staff was pleasant. Dr Al Khouri was thorough, professional and very knowledgeable. I was impressed with the modern digital "x-rays" (90% less radiation exposure) and the saliva test to detect gum disease. I felt confident that my overall health was being addressed as the screen in the dental exam room cycled through information about the connections between dental health and heart disease, diabetes, strokes, etc. After Dr Al Khouri reviewed my "x-rays" with me, I was presented with the options and costs for tooth repair up front. Work was done to prepare my tooth and a temporary crown placed. I was very comfortable throughout the procedure and I was able to eat dinner after I left the office. The tests and procedures were documented on My Chart so I can look on my phone to review what was done and verify my follow up appointments. Overall I was very impressed with the cutting edge dental procedures, tests, and digital access to my information at Vista Modern Dentistry. I highly recommend Dr Al Khouri.

My dentist recently retired, and as of January 2026 I learned that I have Delta Dental coverage…read more So I started from scratch and looked at every single one of the 178 dental practices near me covered by Delta Dental. Most of them were large practices and had Yelp reviews in the 2- and 3-star range. San Marcos Modern Dentistry was one of about two or three that had 4-star reviews. When I called to make an appointment, the receptionist explained the insurance procedure very clearly, letting me know what I needed to do next. She answered all my questions with patience and friendliness. My first appointment was really positive. Everyone on the staff from the ladies at the front counter to the hygienists to Dr. Aldaz were very caring, friendly, and professional. Everything was completely explained to me - what my X-rays and scan revealed, the treatment proposed, the cost, etc. I ended up having three temporary crowns placed by Dr. Aldaz at that appointment which was late on a Monday afternoon. She placed the permanent crowns at an early morning appointment on Wednesday less than 48 hours later. I have never had such quick turnarounds on crowns. These are fabricated in house, so they are much quicker than being sent to a lab. In addition to all the positive features of this practice, what impressed me greatly was the CBTC scanner. It revealed a deep cavity almost reaching to the bone that I had no idea that I had. If I had not had it taken care of at this visit, I probably would have had to have had a root canal which I certainly do not ever want. This cavity was a shock because I had just had bite wing X-rays taken and an exam by the new dentist who had taken over the practice of my retired dentist. She told me that everything was fine at that time. In my opinion, it is important to choose a dentist that performs the CBTC scans as they apparently reveal much more than the customary digital X-rays. My former dentist did not have such a scanner. They also have a periodontist on staff so if further procedures are necessary, they can be done in house. At this point, I feel that Dr. Aldaz is the best dentist for me that I could ever find. My feeling was that every person on the staff was truly committed to giving each patient the very best care possible. This is a business that serves everyone who walks through the door and who calls on the phone. It is very unusual to find this nowadays. Everyone there made me feel as if I were their most important patient. I believe you will be highly satisfied if you check them out. If you are looking for an excellent dental practice that truly wants the best for you, give them a call!

Well I won't be going back here. I've been coming in here since 2024. My dentist Yaseri has been…read morethe main reason I've been returning. I recently scheduled another appointment to be seen specifically by her. When I arrive the woman at the front desk says "we've been trying to get ahold of you. The dentist wont be in until 10 AM" My appointment was at 830 AM. What? The front desk women says "Didn't you get my message?" The only correspondence I have is one voicemail. I present it to her and it's for insurance verification regarding payment and nothing more. I asked why didn't they cancel my appointment. "Oh we can't do that" They knew they couldn't fulfill my appointment and allowed me come in knowing the dentist wouldn't be in. No emails, no messages in the patient portal. Only a voicemail that was allegedly left that I don't have. She then runs in the back to see if someone else can take care of me. She returns saying another dentist I've never met with who's new to the office will take my appointment. No, thanks. I specifically scheduled and requested Yaseri. She's not here so I'm outta here. They managed to waste my morning and my travel time both getting there and now on the return home. I guess Yaseri could care less on top of all this. I sent a message directly to her and absolutely no response after five days. Time to locate a new dentist.

He may develop a phobia from this experience. I feel horrible since I referred him here originally. I have since switched dentists but he didn't know before making the appointment. The dental hygienist was very dismissive. The cleaning took over two hours because she kept leaving to attend to other customers instead of focusing on him. The numbing agent wasn't working and instead of switching to another method, they continued to stick him with more and more doses. I suspect that may have lead to the complications he's facing now. I'm so disappointed. I went here for years and this is so disappointing.

Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing and felt more focused on profit than patient care. From the moment I walked in, it was clear this office sees patients as dollar signs rather than people. I was required to take a full set of X-rays that I did not need (and were very uncomfortable for me as I suffer from TMJ), and despite this, I couldn't even complete the appointment to qualify for the promotion. They scheduled me for a second appointment for a cleaning and final evaluation, but Dr. Javaheri seemed more interested in upselling unnecessary treatments than providing care. He pointed out every tiny issue and pushed for a deep cleaning, which was not what I scheduled and not what my insurance covers. They outright denied me the regular cleaning that was covered by my insurance. I find this approach unethical and frustrating. Patients deserve transparency and respect, not pressure tactics and unnecessary procedures. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Main Street Dental.

Sandy was courteous but dont understand how you bill for something in Dec and not finish the job until April. So much for 6 months no interest when you wasted 4. No mention of adjusting the bill after pointing out it was incorrect. Did not have the strength to argue. Billed for tooth removal and repacking by the Dr Hurt. Not done. The tooth broke and I was referred to an oral surgeon. First oral surgeon said the job was botched by the Dr Hurt and would not take the insurance plan. Sent to a second oral surgeon in San Marcos who was excellent and removed the tooth and repacked the area no problem. Sent back to the dentist to install an oversized crown which is what was requested day one only to find out they would install a regular size smaller crown because thats what the dentist and his nice polite dental assistant wanted. Very unhappy. Pissed actually. That is NOT what the customer asked for and agreed to. Day 1. Thanks for another lousy experience at the dentist. Looks like I will always remember the incompetent Dentist in San Marcos who lacks integrity, work ethic and skills. Literally. You more than earned this review and it could have been avoided. I will go elsewhere and hope someone reads this to avoid the same. This is a restrained commentary masking how upset I am. Fyi.
