If you need a root canal, he won't beat around the bushes there either. The staff is very pleasant and smiley as well. It feels more like a home than a dental establishment.

I'm a very nervous dental patient with TMJ challenges and a history of difficult experiences elsewhere. For over ten years I drove all the way to La Mesa for my dental care because I didn't think I could find a dentist in North County who met that same level of trust and skill. I am a tooth grinder and so I got some beautiful gold crowns put on my back molars to hopefully mitigate future challenges and assure a healthy job for years to come. Not every Dentist is able to do gold crowns so I really appreciated that aspect. I'm so glad I took a chance with Dr. Adourian and his team. Not only is Dr. Adourian incredibly skilled, gentle, and thorough, but T and all of the front-desk ladies make me feel genuinely welcome and at ease every single visit. The office has such a warm, friendly, local atmosphere there is nothing corporate or impersonal about it. This is the kind of dental office I plan to stay with for life, and one I recommend wholeheartedly to all of my family and friends.

I never rescheduled them because my grandma is still on a ventilator and unsure if she will be getting disconnected. On 6/8/26 my husband had an appt. That I also helped him cancel because he was stuck in traffic due to the fire on 76hwy and canyon road. In Oceanside. Which the office said they would wave the cancelation fee and that it was ok. On 6/10 i had an appt to follow up on my deep cleaning appt. Which my intention were to attend my appointment but had was planning to cancel due to the fire near my house, near vandegrift blvd. We were on stand by to Evacuate. After calling the dental office to communicate that, they informed me that I would get billed $60 for canceling my appointment because I had canceled my kids appt. And my husband appointment. I went ahead to explain to both the front desk and the office manager that I wasn't canceling intentionally and that it was due to unforeseen events out of my control. They still said that if I didn't come in to be seen I would get fine for canceling. Not only was I getting fine for cancelling but was I was getting penalized for my husbands cancellation and my kids cancellation as a family, at least that's what i was told. That because my husband had canceled his appt. His cancellation icounted towards me as a patient because he is my husband. I continued to explain that I didn't think it was fair that his cancelation as a patient was affecting me, as he is his own persona and I shouldn't get penalized for it since we are 2 different patients. I also informed them that their cancelation fee contract did not specify that cancelations as a family counted towards any family member and how it didn't make sense his cancelation was counting towards me as a patient... when billing his insurance the office of billing for his visit when he gets seen under his name not under mine... and vise Versa... I just didn't think it was fair I was getting penalized over a cancellation that had nothing to do with me as a patient.... I requested to speak to the doctor or anyone higher than the office manager but she said she wasn't going to bother the doctor/owner with that as there was a reason she was hired and it was to enforce policy. After being literally forced to come in to my dental follow up so I wouldn't get a fee, I came in, checked in and asked to Speak to the doctor or anyone else in charge and "no one was available" I left the office with out scheduling further and with out speaking to any of the doctors... today 6/11-I called the office and requested to speak to the doctor and left a message for a call back but no one ever called me back. I was told to email the office by the receptionist because the doctor was busy... I emailed the office and requested to speak to the doctor and the office responded back with a dismissal letter from their practice instead for my whole family... I find it very unprofessional that the owner did not take the time to listen to my concerns as a patient and that the office lacked of empathy for our unforeseen cancelation events that were not within my control. There were events that somehow put myself and family at risk. I even informed the office that I had proof that I wasn't lying and that I didn't want to cancel just to cancel... I understand if they wanted to count my kids cancelation towards me as a patient because they're underage and I'm their mom... it just didn't make sense how I was getting penalized over my husband cancelation just because he is my husband and is their patient... I was not rude and all I wanted was the doctor to hear my side of the story and empathize with our emergency life events and that did not happen. This experience makes me feel like they don't value their patients and they obviously don't care about them either... I understand that the office doesn't want to loose money because they still have to pay their hygienists if a patient cancels, as I was told... but they should be more understanding if there are patients that are actually going through family emergencies like being at risk of evacuation because of a fire near their home or having your grandma be resuscitated and put on a ventilator, for the reason that you're having to cancel your appointments with them. Lastly, not given the opportunity to speak to someone higher than the "office manager/font office girls" just speaks loudly of the office itself. This experience was very irrational and just speak how poor their customer service is and how they lack of value towards their patients and compassion.

Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing and felt more focused on profit than patient care. From the moment I walked in, it was clear this office sees patients as dollar signs rather than people. I was required to take a full set of X-rays that I did not need (and were very uncomfortable for me as I suffer from TMJ), and despite this, I couldn't even complete the appointment to qualify for the promotion. They scheduled me for a second appointment for a cleaning and final evaluation, but Dr. Javaheri seemed more interested in upselling unnecessary treatments than providing care. He pointed out every tiny issue and pushed for a deep cleaning, which was not what I scheduled and not what my insurance covers. They outright denied me the regular cleaning that was covered by my insurance. I find this approach unethical and frustrating. Patients deserve transparency and respect, not pressure tactics and unnecessary procedures. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Main Street Dental.

They are both kind & welcoming. In addition, the assistants I've encountered have made my visits much more comfortable. However, I feel it's important to share some concerns about the office's communication. I've been trying to reach the office for over two months regarding my dental care, especially considering my history with gum disease. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get through, despite leaving multiple messages via phone, email, fax, & US Mail. I understand that managing a busy practice can be challenging, but I am worried about the impact this may have on my Oral health, in addition to my overall health. As we are now very aware, when we experience decline in our Oral health, (at no real fault of my own), our overall health can suffer tremendously. A reminder for my quarterly cleaning appointments, which my insurance covers every three months, would be incredibly helpful. I have recently experienced some pain & discomfort, and I'm concerned that the lack of communication is affecting my ability to be treated! I truly value the care I was receiving from your team & hope this feedback can help improve the experience for both current and future patients, as well as notify you both of these extremely valuable concerns that you might possibly be unaware of.
