Once again I had another fantastic Dentist appointment today with Dr. Joe. He is a very honest and…read morepassionate Dentist and does fantastic work. Today I went in for a broken crown that was covering an implant I had done 10 years ago. Unfortunately the crown broke and he was able to offer me a great consultation and referral to the best Implant Dentist in the county to have the post removed so he can make a new crown with his great in house technology. By doing this it saves extra cost and time having an outside service do the crown that can often take many weeks. I would recommend Dr Joe Nguyen to anyone looking for professional honest Dentist!! Oh and he is also a great musician!! : )

Based on all the other reviews, I found Dr. Joe. His office is clean, with ample parking in front…read moreand behind. Masha and Jennifer were both really friendly and patient. All the dental hygienists I've had were great. Dr. Joe is able to make many kinds of night guards through his office, and he was really excited to show me one that is so durable that a car can drive over it haha. Hoping he does not retire for awhile :D The only thing that is confusing is that there is another dentist with almost the exact same name in Poway. Make sure to read the address very carefully when plugging into GPS!

I really wanted to love this place. I was excited to finally find a local dentist through my…read moreinsurance, but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth--literally and figuratively. From the moment I sat down, it felt like the goal wasn't to help me, it was to upsell me. A dental hygienist came in and strongly pushed an extremely expensive deep cleaning treatment, claiming I had gum disease and bone loss--despite no other dentist ever telling me this before. The plan involved lasers and multiple stages of treatment totaling around $2,200--and that was with my two insurance policies on file. I came in to address an painful bump on my palate and potentially a failing crown, but it seemed like unless I paid heavily out of pocket, they couldn't or wouldn't move forward. I only allowed them to do imaging and the exam. The rest felt like a sales pitch. And that's not why I go to a dentist. The doctor I saw (Dr. Ekta) told me that a root canal I had done at another office was "botched" and needed to be redone--which is fine, that's her professional opinion. But when I asked if she could write a brief statement or letter so I could appeal the insurance claim, she refused. To me, that's a red flag. If you're confident enough in your diagnosis to tell me I need to redo a major dental procedure, you should be confident enough to put that in writing to support your patient. I had to use her chart notes, which were vague at best. The only positive part of my visit was the x-ray technician--she had a great personality and made me feel comfortable during that part of the process. Props to her. But overall, the practice feels profit-driven, not patient-focused. Between the aggressive upselling, the lack of support with my insurance, and the general vibe of "pay big or get nothing," I won't be returning. And if you're thinking of coming here--read the reviews first.

We started our service here over 10 years ago with our oldest son. His teeth turned out perfect. 2…read morephases and even got a discount on phase 2 since insurance maxed out on phase one. Fast forward to our youngest, competed phase 1 no real issues. We did have 2 different doctors but hey it happens. Same thing. Insurance maxed out on phase one but this time no discount on phase 2 but the person handling the claims told me the insurance would pay. Even though I told her it's already been maxed out. I was reassured that want the case and even if it was denied they would never charge me the $1500. We proceeded with the treatment under the impression we had the fee sorted out. In the meantime we weee back in office at least once a week in between appointments for broken bracket only to find out I had an outstanding balance and a fee change yup you guessed it. The $1500 the insurance didn't pay. Oh and we are now on our 3rd doctor a dozen fixed brackets $1500 increase in the cost of the braces I am pretty furious at this point and we decided to just stop using them. So I emailed since ortho is only once a week. This sucks because when brackets break you have to wait for the following week to get them fixed so I'm in my sones mouth the wire cutters to keep is cheeks from bleeding. And no they won't see you outside of office hours for ortho. Fast forward 2 weeks after I expressed my desire to close out for services rendered called and was told now I have to pay a other process fee for services on top of any balance due for work not covered under what I have already paid. On top of all this the were only willing to forgive 50% for the $1500 non payment. Be very weary of this place. Shady billing and people who just don't seem to really know what they are doing properly. Still 2 weeks again and I still haven't hear anything and they scheduled me for an appointment even after I expressed very adamantly we do not want their services any longer. Come to find out the spacers put on our son's lower jaw has skewed his teeth enough to need reverse correction. This makes me wonder if I should seek legal advice. Dr Dalton is such a nice person it's a shame his practice is being run into the ground. I am not one for bad reviews but protect your Children's teeth research your services and practice due diligence. It's worth the extra time and money to find a doctor committed to your children's oral health.

They took their time, checked in with me multiple times during the cleaning, and talked through my dental health in detail. I really appreciated how attentive and thorough they were. They also didn't pressure me with pricing -- it felt more like suggestions rather than requirements, which was refreshing compared to other places where I've felt rushed or pressured. The office is extremely clean and the overall atmosphere is so relaxing. Such a great experience!

Very helpful and I am thankful for the efficient service and follow through. It can be difficult to find a good practice, especially combing through Yelp and reading dentists ridicule some patients in the comments (You know we read those, right? It's not a personal attack). This place doesn't even smell like a dentistry practice when you first walk in, which is a big surprise. Probably because the individual rooms are closed off. Good for privacy. Definitely a calmer and much more professional atmosphere when talking to staff (with my experience, you would assume human decency was a rarity in all dentistry practices). Big thanks to Pavlina (I hope I'm not butchering her name) for cleaning my teeth and suggesting the electric toothbrush/waterpick.
