I just came from my first appointment at Ocean Beach Dental and had a great experience…read more I recently moved from LA and had been going to a high-end dental practice in Beverly Hills for years. One ongoing issue for me has always been getting X-rays -- I have tori bone, and it's usually uncomfortable at best and painful at worst. Francesca is an incredibly skilled hygienist. She was able to take X-rays with zero discomfort, which honestly surprised me. Her technique was better than what I've experienced for years. I'm genuinely grateful to have found her. Dr. Aaron was also thorough and clear, walking me through a detailed "report card" on my dental health, which I appreciated. Overall, I feel relieved to have found Ocean Beach Dental and confident I'm in good hands.

To Dr. Ryan and Team:…read more I cannot express my gratitude enough to each of you individually, so I'll try here. At the end of 2025 when I was having a dental emergency, Abbey did everything in her power to get me in right away (I called very late in the afternoon and was seen first thing the next morning) and even though I had to go to a endodontist and eventually come back to your office the same day, you made sure I was seen before your office closed for the holidays. Not only did you ensure I was seen, but Dr. Ryan performed a tooth extraction on the same day. Did I have to wait a bit? Yes. But that is absolutely normal and okay! His office had a full day of patients and the fact that Dr. Ryan somehow made time to see me twice in a day AND perform the tooth extraction is simply going above and beyond. I started the process last week for an implant. I was in extreme pain over the weekend and chose to wait to reach out to Dr. Ryan's office until Monday morning and not bother him over the weekend (although they do have a number for emergencies for after-hours - I simply chose not to bother him) and by Monday afternoon, I was in his office getting X-rays. Turns out I have an infection - Dr. Ryan ensured that I was prescribed the appropriate medications right away and I was able to pick them up within the hour of him sending the prescriptions to my pharmacy. Admittedly, I'm really shocked by some of these negative reviews. Abbey, who is at the front desk, is one of the most compassionate, kind-hearted human beings I've ever met. She has always treated me with kindness and respect. If I don't understand a billing matter, she sits down with me to explain it. Dr. Ryan is nothing short of an absolute gem. He genuinely cares about his patients. Dr. Ryan's staff are incredible. Each one of them is amazing. Every time a friend asks for a dental referral, it's always Dr. Ryan I send them to because you simply won't find a better dentist and staff anywhere in San Diego. Thank you again, Dr. Ryan, Abbey, and Team for everything you do for me and all your patients. You're so appreciated!

If Dr. Hilliard says you need something done; you need it done and you'll get an estimate of what you will need to pay and what the insurance will pay. Another wonderful part of any experience when I visit, they are so gentle and the results are great. I highly recommend Sunset Cliffs Dental. Karen B.

Amy is always rude, rushes me, and has an awful attitude especially in comparison to such a compassionate doctor. Maybe he's the good cop she's the bad cop? I changed jobs a few times and she always has an issue updating my insurance, I believe because she is lazy or otherwise unwilling to update my stuff which she probably doesn't have to do with other patients often. Today I had an appointment at 8:45 but she had it written for 8:30 in her books. This became apparent when she called me at 8:31 while I was leaving my house and left a voicemail saying my appointment was right now (8:30) and that she tried calling before but had my number down wrong and so it seemed disconnected yesterday when she phoned. Keep this in mind as this is already one instance of her writing information down wrong. My number has been the same since I was 16. I would consider her next point, that My appointment was at 8:30 not 8:45 another mistake on her part as I made the appointment in my calendar 6 months ago on the spot as I told her what time I would be available (at the end of my last appointment). Now rather than rush over for nothing, if my appointment was at 8:30, I called back and said I had it at 8:45 and was on my way is that not the case? she said yes it was 8:45 (over the phone) so I kept going and let her know I live very close by. I didn't arrive till 8:55, traffic plus I stopped to call her to confirm I should even come since she moved the appointment up 15 mins, that's my fault and I should of continued going even as I confirmed, but as I walk in she says "name?" I say my name and she's says my appointment was 30 mins ago and starts to get up. I said I'm sorry is i'm not 8:55? am I not 10 mins late? She said well no it's 9oclock your appointment was 8:30. I said im sorry it's 8:55. My appointment was 8:45. She then said no it's was 8:30 I just said that on the phone (why would you just say that?) then I said i'm sorry i've had this in my calendar since 6 months ago it's always been 8:45 I picked the time. Then she showed me her book where she wrote 8:30 but remember she has already admitted to copying information down wrong when she left a voicemail saying she thought my phone was disconnected. At this point I am just wanting to see the doctor I don't want to deal with this lady at all, so while she's throwing attitude saying I was mistaken and she'll just have to make time for me anyway and gesturing for me to come on back with her and rolling her eyes as I hesitate I let her know I'll find a new dentist and turned to walk out. She's insisting the entire time it's suddenly fine, not a problem, come on back, etc. but I've had it there's nothing she can say to excuse the way she was acting. If it was so "fine" "no problem" and "just come on back it'll just take a minute" then why lie about the timing, berate me with attitude and talking down to me about being late. It's actually no problem to find someone who enjoys their job and doesn't infect everyone around them with their awful outlook and approach so I continued on my way. I told her I hope you have a great day while I left. Going to miss Dr. Spera, the coolest surfer dentist out there.

The front desk staff was friendly. The room felt like a jail cell- gray walls, no windows. The Hygienist was playing Metallica and I put on all my intake paperwork that I have dental anxiety. As much as I like Metallica I do not want to hear that during a dental procedure. I had to ask him to play something else. During the procedure it was very uncomfortable and took forever. I just wanted it to be over. The dentist came in, barely spoke to me and just told me I needed two fillings in my front teeth which were just coffee stains. I got a second opinion from another dentist in the area and they told me it wasn't necessary. Patient care is everything in dentistry. This just wasn't up to my personal standards.
