I would highly recommend Elevated Smiles to others that are looking for a dentist.

How a business can decline so rapidly is beyond me…read more (Last week in August, 2022) A crown that they had put on had broken from something I bit into. I called and they fit me in to fix it. When he was replacing the broken crown, he told me that the tooth next to it is damaged as well but they don't have enough time to fix it. I told them that I was going on a cruise for my birthday and that I'll be back when I return. So he informed me that as they've gotten busy, it's best to make an appointment. I made an appointment for when I got back. Upon my return, I wasn't feeling well and tested positive for Covid. I called them to cancel my appointment and informed that I'll call back as soon as I test negative and feel better. (Mid September 2022) Couple of weeks later, I call to make an appointment for the other tooth. The receptionist tells me that I need to come in to get checked prior to them doing anything to my tooth. As I explain that I was just there and I am calling to follow up on a particular tooth that the dentist wanted to fix. She giggles as if I'm telling her a joke and repeats that they won't work on me until I come in for an initial check up. I was completely baffled at the lack of professionalism, memory and respect for a long time patient. I was so agitated that I asked for the dentist to talk to me as I'm thinking he'll remember and be more professional. Receptionist (still giggling) says he's busy and will call me back. About 30 minutes later, he calls. Like a broken record, he repeated everything the receptionist said while I hear the receptionist giggling in the background. It was so unprofessional and quite frankly I felt completely betrayed. I initially began coming to this practice because of Tina Saw (dentist) as I felt we bonded and I liked her work and personality. But since 2020, it's been the husband. Although I preferred Tina, I kept getting him and got used to him out of necessity. The difficulty I had post Covid was the changing staff who no longer knew or recognized long time patients, the revolving receptionists who don't hear what you're saying and the severity of the decline in professionalism. I felt so betrayed that there's no way I could return. After being a long time patient, they were trying to squeeze in an extra visit to bill my insurance for an issue that they already pointed out and told me needed fixing. Few months later, I got a text to call to make an appointment which I ignored. The final nail in the coffin was when the same receptionist called me couple of weeks ago (before the end of the year for billing issues) to let me know I need to come in to get the other tooth fixed. I tell her that I'll NEVER GO BACK to that practice. She started laughing as if I told her a joke. Then says bye. Even if they change the receptionist, I wouldn't return for dental care. They squeeze in more check up visits even when the issues have been recognized and an appointment is made. This nickel and dime attitude is horrible! It's hard enough to find time for cleaning, follow ups, check ups and treatment without these additional useless check ups when we already pointed out what the issue is. I basically got punished for canceling post cruise when I had Covid. This type of pettiness is unfortunate and so unprofessional for a dental office. As going to a dentist is stressful enough, I rather go where they know how to treat a client with respect and kindness. Too many options in the area to stay with Elevated Smiles. I, my husband, my friends and nephew will never go back.

After speaking with few receptionists and leaving bunch of messages at various dental offices, it was such a pleasant surprise to speak to Toni at San Elijo Pediatric Dentistry. Toni was very professional, friendly and helpful. She took my our information and gave us appointments during my first call. She sent me a link to fill out the forms online. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the two lovely ladies in the front. One of them was Toni and it was a pleasure to meet her. I found out that on days that they accept adult patients, they don't have children scheduled. The reception area is large with many comfortable seating options to wait. The back area is very clean and well designed for our comfort. The television is in the ceiling for when they work on you, you can watch television. Leandra took my X-ray and did my cleaning. She is super nice, professional and attentive. I hope she'll be the one when I come in for my next cleaning. Dr. Hansen was very welcoming, professional and explained what needs to be done. She was very thorough and informative. I wasn't ready to get the few things she suggested to be worked on. She gave me the list of the items to tackle upon next trip. It was a very pleasant experience and I'm glad that they do accept adult patients as well. Looking forward to getting my teeth fixed and kept healthy in this location.

I chose this practice because I wanted a dentist who continuously trains herself and her staff in the current technology to do the very best for your mouth and teeth. And the staff is very kind and professional. Good dental work is NOT cheap. They do take insurance (though we all know dental insurance - these days - does not pay for much!) and you can get a Care Credit account and then pay off the total in 6 or 12 months, with zero interest. I highly recommend this dental practice.

They wanted to fill or re-fill half of my mouth, deep root planing throughout, and on and on...amazingly, the exact same treatment plan they recommended to my friend who had just gone to them, around $4K in treatment, which is a lot now let alone back then. Front desk staff refused to give me a copy of the plan breakdown and costs of this extensive treatment stating that I "might go somewhere else to compare"...really?? Would that be a bad thing? And they kept telling me if money was a problem, not to worry as they worked in conjunction with a credit card company...who charged 23% interest. I passed on that treatment plan and saw a different dentist within a year after, who was shocked when I told him what they were recommending. I've never before and never since had so much work recommended, just regular cleanings, a filling here, a crown there. I've used three dentists since then and not one has ever recommended such and extensive and expensive treatment plan. It is very sad when medical providers take on the approach of commission-based salesmen. Sad indeed. Perhaps they've changed their approach in their new location...but I'm not wasting the time finding out.

I started seeing this dentist over two years ago, I should say practice because their retention rate with dentist here is HORRIFIC. I've had four separate dentist's in a two year time period. I went in for a simple cleaning, was told I had a cavity, was given an enclave. Of which I needed to have replaced four separate times because of how poorly they placed it. My wife went to also have a simple cleaning. They told her the root of one of her teeth was infected. To be specific was having mercury seep into her bloodstream. She had silver fillings. The dentist proceeded to remove such silver and cause a crack in my wife's tooth. Then try to refer her out to an oral surgeon to have the tooth extracted. None of which was covered under our insurance. Upon a second visit with x-rays to a separate dentist shout out DeAngelis family dentistry for being phenomenal!! They are located off Palomar Airport Road. It was explained to me that my first dentist straight out lied. There was no issue with the root of my wife's tooth. In fact, the tooth and the root was perfectly healthy. He just wanted a large out of pocket payment!! Upon calling to have the issue fixed with the first dentist BC THATS HOW INSURANCE WORKS!! We were told the dentist she saw, was not available to fix the problem because he had left the country. True story. The owner of the practice refused to refund me my money. He instead had another dentist correct the first mistake, of which they made my wife wait an hour to be seen. That's 3 hours total of her workday she had to take off to fix a problem that they created, and caused more issues with! THEY ARE CROOKS!

On June 21, 2025, I visited Avalon Laser to treat a few facial spider veins after seeing the…read moredoctor's work on social media and reading positive Google reviews. What I expected to be a routine cosmetic procedure unfortunately resulted in a much more difficult outcome for me (photos attached). Shortly after the treatment, leaky blisters formed, and about a week later they developed into scabs on the treated areas. When the scabs eventually came off, many areas appeared indented and concerning. During virtual follow-up consultations, I was told the healing process appeared to be normal. However, my skin continued to worsen, and I later sought care at an emergency room, where the injuries were documented as burns and I was referred for dermatologic follow-up. Avalon Laser offered additional treatment options, including a CO laser session or microneedling at their facility, and also suggested that I see a dermatologist in the Los Angeles area. I did undergo one CO laser session with Avalon Laser, but I ultimately decided not to continue treatment at the clinic because I no longer felt comfortable proceeding there. To their credit, the clinic checked in with me virtually on a regular basis and offered encouragement during the healing process. However, my recovery has been much longer and more challenging than I expected based on how my skin appeared. Since then, I have consulted with several specialists and undergone multiple treatments in an effort to improve my skin. The recovery process has been lengthy, painful, and uncertain. The clinic refunded the cost of the original treatment, which I appreciated, but it has not come close to covering the many additional medical visits, treatments, medications, and skincare products I have needed since then. The emotional impact has also been very difficult. For weeks I struggled to sleep and often cried at night. I became withdrawn and stopped seeing friends because I felt embarrassed about my appearance. What began as a simple cosmetic procedure has turned into a long and ongoing recovery. I attempted to pursue compensation through legal counsel and sent a demand letter, but I did not receive a response. I also followed up by email without success. I am sharing my personal experience so that others can be aware and carefully consider their options before undergoing treatment.
