Small filling turned into needing root canal. The doc over drilled and placed filling right on nerve. Got two second opinions since and the x-rays didn't show the decay that would warrant a deep filling. Lost my tooth now two weeks later after spending last two weeks in excruciating pain. (Had no pain till he drilled deep into the tooth). Completely disappointed and feel taken advantage of read more

We have been taking our family to Dr. McMahon for 20+ years now! Great staff, beautiful new office with state-of-the-art equipment. Friendly, thorough and consistent. read more

I can not say enough about how wonderful this office is. I typically HATE the dentist but this is a totally different experience. Everyone in this office is just amazing. Dr. McMahon is so caring and kind. I overhead him working with an elderly gentleman in the room next to mine on trying to figure out the most economical way of providing the patient the repairs that he needed. He clearly cares about his patients and is not out to "sell" his dental services. The office is very nice and new and the staff is incredibly efficient and kind. read more

I have been going to Dr McMahan for 18 years. I like going to this place as it is very welcoming and inspiring. Dr McMahan creates the best smile you dream about. He suggests best solutions. Dr McMahan is very detailed and explains everything thoroughly. The room has a TV and it is relaxing to watch the ocean while in the office. When I go to the office I feel as I am on vacation watching the ocean. I am grateful that I go to this office as I get the best dental work done. Christie is the most talented hygienist you can find. She does a fantastic job! Kelly is always welcoming. During holidays the office is well decorated, it is very beautiful. If by any chance you are searching for a new dental place please save your time and go to Surfside dental as this is the best place. Time is everything and it is best to give them a call and schedual your next visit and get the best care! Dr McMahan is very talented and he knows exactly what is best for your smile. I am thankful that I have the opportunity to go to this office! The office is always clean, beautiful and welcoming. Best office! read more

My dentist of 20 years retired and my husband and I were referred to Surfside Dental. This dental office and team are perfection! Kelly, the office manager couldn't be more pleasant & professional and Dr. McMahan is very friendly, kind, and empathetic to each dental situation. He doesn't "push" his business or treatment onto patients like I have experienced at other dental offices. Surfside Dental is beautifully remodeled which includes the most updated dental technology. I used to never want to get dental x-rays because of radiation exposure, but their x-ray equipment produces very minimal radiation. Each time I walk into Surfside Dental I feel very calm and relaxed. While in a dental chair I love being mesmerized by watching the (large flatscreen TV) beach front webcams and listening to the calming music. The entire Surfside Dental experience could not be anymore pleasant! I am extremely thankful to have Dr. McMahan and his team providing our dental care! Another plus is parking. Parking is very easily assessable. read more

Been going to him for years! I'm so grateful for his honesty and bottom line always doing what's in the best interest of his patient, regardless of him making money or not!! Thanks Dr. Mc Mahan! read more

Very welcoming group working at Surfside Dental. Dr. McMahan explains exactly what treatment you may need and answers any questions you have pertaining to cost and time to complete. If you are looking for a dentist I recommend Surfside Dental! read more

I visited Surfside Dental for the first time on October 7, 2021. I can say without a doubt this was the best dental visit I have ever experienced in my 75 years. From start to finish, it was exceptionally pleasant. The cleaning by Dimaris (not sure of the spelling) was thorough and without any pain. The staff was friendly and, at least on my visit, cheerful. It felt almost like a spa visit! Dr. McMahan was also very friendly and easy to understand. The technology used was very helpful (pictures of each tooth from the outside and the usual x-rays were displayed on the tv screen). I was also impressed that they were honest and did not try to upsell me at all. The after-care (emails with explanations of service I could use) was also very thorough and professional. They worked well with my ppo dental insurance plan. I recommend them. read more

I just had my first appointment and I thought they were very through. The staff was nice and kind. They took lots of pictures and x-rays. Dr. McMahan carefully explained what needed to be done and prioritized the way it could be done. They did not push, scold, or make you feel that all had to be done immediately. The girl who cleaned my teeth was very throughly and took her time. Their equipment was very up to date. Looking forward to next appointment which says something for a coward like me. . read more

Can't say enough about my experience. I haven't been to the dentist in 10+ years, and they made me feel super comfortable and took care of everything. I really was happy when I left, and I will actually go back here regularly :). read more

Dr McMahan is the best dentist I have been to in my 59 years on this Earth. He is very gentle and never trying to upsale the patient on anything they don't want or need. I was in an out today in about 40 minutes with x-rays, dental check as well as a full checkup and cleaning. Their use of technology is amazing. From email and text appointment reminders to digital pictures / x-Ray so the patient can see any issues on the 60 inch 4k TVs in every room. 70s Rock music playing in the background with scenes of beautiful beaches playing on the TVs to put the patient at ease. Simply the best! read more

Exceptional Staff! Phenomenal, caring, honest service personalized to ME! No up-sell! Doc tells you straight and let's you decide. Love, Love Doc ! Found a true home for the care of my energetic smile! read more

It's hard to imagine giving a 5 Star to a dentist because nobody likes going to a dentist and I've put it off for years. From beginning to end and in between my visits, this has been the hands-down best experience I've ever had with any dentist. Look forward to not having to go too often but I know when I do it's going to be a pleasant experience read more

Best Dentist Ever! Love this guy and the whole office. Very friendly and competent. We were referred to this dentist a couple of years ago by a friend and we've had several visits for cleaning and dental work. It's really great to be able to trust that your dental health is number one and you're not just a number to the dentist. We enthusiastically recommend Dr. McMahon and staff. read more

The staff at Surfside are so friendly and professional! My appointment was quick and thorough and I am extremely satisfied! The office was very clean and comfortable, they have state of the art equipment, and my hygienist was gentle when working on my teeth. She was also so sweet and personable! The doctor was down to earth, patient with all of my questions, and also very kind. I really love this office and will continue to get all of my dental work done here. read more

Best Dentist I've visited yet! Dr. McMahon and his staff are excellent; very professional and welcoming. My first visit they treated me so well, I felt like I was family and had been going there for years! I've already recommended so many people! They have state-of-the-art equipment and tranquil scenes playing on large screens right in front of you to make you feel like you're on vacation! Great cleaning, and two crowns, and my teeth have never felt better! As long as I live in San Diego, he will be my Dentist! read more

I have been going to Surfside Dental for one year now and I am so please with the care I have received. The staff is wonderful, from Kelly at the front desk to the dental hygienists to Dr. Michael McMahan. Everyone is so kind and they truly care about your dental health. My dental hygienist, Damaris was AWESOME!!! I had to be fitted for a new night guard to protect my teeth from grinding while I sleep and if you've ever been fitted for this sort of thing you know it's not pleasant. Damaris worked so quickly getting the molds taken and kept me as comfortable as she could during the process. Thank you Dr. McMahan and your wonderful staff for taking such good care of me!!! read more

Just moved to the area. Cracked a tooth and thanks to the "yelpers" I came here. Excellent service. I got right in. 1 sheet of paperwork to fill out. I was in a chair in 5 minutes. Everyone was amazing. I walked out 90 minutes later with a temporary crown. No pain. The atmosphere was pleasant, friendly, relaxing. I loved the large screen TV. That was very relaxing watching the beach. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Dr. McMahan is one of the finest dentist around. His office and staff are top-notch and true professionals. My family and I have been seeing him for years and our experiences have always been the best. If your looking for a family dentist who truly cares for his patients...this is the to go! read more

I think it has to be about the most technologically up-to-date office around. I've had great dental work and cleanings there. I highly recommend. Also extremely clean. Nice people. read more

I had my first appointment with Dr McMahan yesterday and it was hands down the best dental experience I've ever had!

Dr. McMahan is the BEST! He has been helping our entire family with dental needs since I was a teenager. He is very laid back and always has a smile on his face! The staff is great too. I highly recommend Dr. McMahan! read more

I've never used their services, but I can still recommend them for dental emergencies. My 12 year-old had an upper front tooth knocked out playing baseball! It was after 6pm and his regular dentist office was closed. We frantically called several offices trying to find one that could see him with an hour. We left a message with Surfside and Dr. McMahan returned my call in a timely manner. We were at another dentist's office and missed his call, but I appreciate the quick follow through and the friendly, helpful message. I'm keeping his number handy! Thank you! read more

I've been going to see Dr. McMahon for many years. He is friendly, talented, honest, and has the highest integrity.

Absolutely love Surfside Dental. I have been going to Dr. McMahan for almost 10 years and have always had a great experience with him and his entire staff. The staff there are very, very kind and welcoming. His new office is beautiful, soothing, and very relaxing. I truly enjoy going to my checkups. No long waiting times, you are seen very close to your appointment time. Both Dr. McMahan and his hygienist are extremely gentle. Have almost fallen asleep at a couple of my visits I feel so relaxed. This is why I keep going back to Surfside Dental time after time! Keep up the great work Surfside! read more

Dr. McMahan is a great family dentist. I have taken my children to him since they were small. (They are now teenagers.) Dr. McMahan is able to put them at ease and they are not afraid to visit the dentist because of this. And they think he's cool because he's such a great athlete:-) We love the friendliness of the staff. read more

I have been to Beachwalk Dental 3 times over the last several months. I have never been more satisfied with a dentist experience before. I hadn't been to one for so long prior to going to Beachwalk because I always felt like the dentists were just money hungry and trying to do things to me that I didn't really need so they could make more money. At Beachwalk I have felt completely comfortable and feel like the staff is very truthful and customer service oriented. Dr. Markle is very relatable and professional and his staff is wonderful. I highly recommend Beachwalk Dental! read more

The new office is really great - very neat, clean and has state of the art equipment. The dental hygienist did a very thorough cleaning and explained exactly what she was doing. They also take pictures of your teeth and then show you the pics at the end to discuss any issues with your teeth. Everyone in the office is very friendly. This is the nicest dentist office I've ever been to. read more

I have been going to Dr McMahan for almost twenty years. He is the best dentist I have ever encountered. He is honest and does not recommend unnecessary dental work if you don't need it. I highly recommend him. read more
