Waste of my time. Put me in the room and makes me wait 45 minutes if not longer each time I go in there. Also isn't precise or careful

After spending an uncomfortable time at an HMO dentist, I came to Dr. Rich for a second opinion and…read moreassessment of my dental situation. The first thing that caught my attention was the dental practice itself; it was clean, welcoming and the staff were friendly. I was attended to quickly, taken into a small room for x-rays that were immediately available for viewing on a computer screen. When Dr. Rich arrived, he evaluated my x-rays, showing me exactly where the issues were on a faulty crown I had and a fractured tooth. He was easy to talk to, informative and provided me with what felt like an objective evaluation of my dental situation; answering each of my questions in detail. As this was my first appointment here, he checked over my teeth, he did so with care and was apologetic at any discomfort I endured. When he was done, he gave me a full assessment and treatment plan; referring me to nearby dental surgeons that he trusted. In the crown I had mentioned, I had recently had a root canal done with temporary filling. During his examination, he noticed the filling had almost all gone and so he refilled it with a stronger, longer lasting filling; free of charge. Furthermore, at the front desk, they waived the charge for the entire appointment, despite our willingness to pay; an unexpected and kind gesture. Overall, Dr. Rich is a great dentist; he was friendly, knowledgeable and generous with his time. My appointment with him put me at ease and there was never a point where I felt like he was trying to push unnecessary work. I highly recommend Dr. Rich and his practice for their professionalism, approachability and welcoming environment.

Dr. Riad is an excellent dentist who is knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely cares about his patients. His entire staff is experienced, professional, friendly, and always makes us feel comfortable and well taken care of. It's not always easy to find a dentist you can truly trust, but we feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Riad. After five years, we continue to be extremely happy with the quality of care we receive. I highly recommend Dr. Riad and his wonderful team!

Despite positive online reviews, I was disappointed by the aggressive sales tactics and…read morehigh-pressure environment. Rather than focusing on practical tooth preservation, the recommendations immediately leaned toward costly, unnecessary extractions and implants. Furthermore, the financial staff was very pushy when asking me to sign off on so-called required work, and raising reasonable questions was met with a poor attitude. I strongly recommend getting a second opinion before committing to any treatment plans here. Find a dentist that does what is best to preserve your natural teeth vs pushing for super-expensive alternatives.

My long time dentist retired and I'm a nervous wreck about dentists based on some rough childhood…read moreexperiences. Dr. Nguyen recommended by friends and I've had several appointments at this point. There was some major work I'd been putting off and I'm about halfway through it at this point. I appreciated the thorough cleaning with extra TLC from hygienist Lori. She knows her stuff! Dr. Nguyen took the time to have a sit down discussion with me about the full scope of work indicated, without pressuring me, and encouraged me to get other opinions because he was a new provider to me and delivering the bad news. However, I already knew most of what I'd been avoiding and came up with a plan to stage the work over time in the way that would give me the best results. Chair side assistants seem to read his mind as he works and again, everyone sensitive to and supportive of my comfort throughout. Including my nervous chatter before and after treatment. I'm definitely building trust with each encounter and glad I found this practice. I recommend them if you are in need of care.

I have been coming to this dentist office since the early 2000's. (2002?) Admittedly, the dentist…read morehas changed twice since then (the practice has been sold twice), but my hygienist has remained the same and I have liked the dentists. The current dentist, Dr. Viet Nguyen DDS is very cheery. My hygienist feels like an old friend and I always enjoy chatting with her (as much as is possible while being cleaned!) The practice is very clean and modern. They have TVs on the ceiling to entertain you during treatments. The staff are polite. You are given a bag of complimentary dental items when you leave (Toothbrush, floss, etc.) They text you to remind you of appointments. The office is conveniently located near the Poway Pomerado hospital and has free parking immediately outside. I recommend Poway Modern Dentistry.

I've suffered from TMJ/TMD for most of my adult life to the point where neck, shoulder and back…read moretension, tension headaches, jaw pain and tooth sensitivity were an everyday occurrence. Over the years I sought care from acupuncturist, chiropractors, massage therapists, dentists and TMJ/TMD specialists. A variety of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions (IM injections of muscle relaxants, oral muscle relaxers, antidepressants, ECT treatments, exercise, meditation, mindfulness) only provided temporary relief. Additionally, I wore through THREE different "night guards." One of which was an "at-home DIY" guard and the last two were professionally cast by dentists. A year ago I visited a dentist who sent me off with a night guard and a prescription for antidepressants. I was so confused about the relevance of the medication and was not sure how they were related to the TMJ/TMD. In about two months, the night guard was warped and all of the associated symptoms of muscle tension and headaches returned. After searching for a TMJ/TMD specialist in San Diego I came across Dr Cook. The treatment plan was extensive, detailed and meticulous. Dr Cook didn't just cast a piece of plastic and send me on my way a week later. There was an initial consultation, fees discussed, a sleep study (because for the first time Dr Cook explained that the anatomy of my airway and my sleep quality contributed to the grinding/clenching), imaging, in-office electromyogram (to measure muscle contractions at rest and while clenched) and dental work to correct the bite so that an orthodic could be made. Dr Cook was the first dentist to tie together sleep quality, anatomy and pathology and actually EXPLAIN how they contribute to TMJ/TMD. The road to recovery was long and Dr Cook and her staff were professional, courteous and accommodating the entire time. She was so meticulous that she made adjustments down to the very millimeter- and for someone who'd tried everything to no avail for years, I was relieved by her level of dedication. Thank you Dr Cook, Dawn, Maria and all of the staff. Since having the orthodic my sleep has improved, my energy level during the day is better, I'm not wearing my teeth down and I feel so much better!

Unfortunately, after 12 years with Dr Cook I have switched dentists. The new office staff is…read moredifficult to work with, emailing incorrect appointment dates/times, inflexible with fees for family emergencies (first missed appointment in 12 years!), and staff is generally unfriendly. Office manager did not seem bothered to be losing patients. The new location isn't great, building is old and parking lot is very small with no turnaround. No issues with Dr Cook but lots of choices for great dentists in San Diego with professional office staff!
