***POTENTIAL PATIENTS BEWARE!!!***…read more I came in here a few years ago and at first my experience was good. When it turned out that I needed an extraction of one of my teeth, Dr. Tuchin attempted to do so only to watch my tooth crumble. Dr. Tuchin preceded to whack away at my head with a hammer and chisel. I am not joking, he literally did this. When he was unable to completely remove the tooth he told me that eventually it would fall out by itself (and still charged me full price). It was easily the worst dental experience of my entire lifetime and I would strongly recommend that anybody in their right mind stay as far from this man as humanly possible. I just went to a new dentist and they told me that there is no way on Earth that this remaining tooth portion would have ever fallen out by itself and that no dentist would ever truthfully assert such a thing. Dr. Tuchin also did work on me prior to checking with my insurance to make sure it was covered. I assumed that it was and had the work done. Only later on when he billed me for the entire procedure did I find out the truth (that it was in fact not covered at all). This was a financial hardship for me and I still really can't believe it even happened in this day and age. It is my belief that this gentleman should have retired many years ago and is probably undergoing issues with senility. Seriously, I am not sure why he is still in business. Maybe he's okay working on senior citizens that occasionally need a cleaning, but if he's actually challenged to do any real dentistry (that might require knowledge above the most fundamental skill set), he is totally out of his league! I honestly think he should consider quitting now before he really hurts somebody! Addendum: In response to the recent posting by Mort S Tuchin; You are absolutely ridiculous! Clearly you have been the victim of a rather extreme case of senility! I have the documentation to prove all of my allegations and frankly, you're lucky that I didn't sue your pants off. As far as I'm concerned, anybody that walks through of your office is taking their life in their hands. You are an aging has-been at best and a sadistic monster at worst. You should retire immediately and save the rest of the world from what you did to me! You should also be very thankful that I am a forgiving human being with a kind heart, and not a pig like you.

Super Honest and Very Experienced!…read more I recently got insurance through Delta Dental and went to see my assigned HMO dentist. He quoted me almost $900 for a crown. I went to Dr. Tuchin for a second opinion. He only charged me $21 for an xray on the subject tooth, and said he didn't think I needed a crown at all. I wish Dr. Tuchin were my HMO dentist, but unfortunately he is not on my plan. Dr. Tuchin is super experienced and very friendly. My mom is the one who referred me, and she loves him! The office is no frills, but the service is top notch! I highly recommend this dentist and will go back to him even though he is not on my plan.

DO NOT GO HERE! I don't even know where to begin. But he was the only dentist in Ramona that my…read moreinsurance would cover so my family of three all went to see him. I knew from the get go that he quotes/wants to do every little thing he can. We all saw another dentist (that was too far away) six months ago and had no cavities. Now all of the sudden we each have between 8-12 cavities. And the first visit he talked so much he didn't have time to even do a cleaning. My husband was even sick from getting the COVID vaccine the day before and told the dentist that and that he'd like to get done quickly. Two hours later for an exam and no cleaning. He was quoted $8,000 of work out of pocket after insurance. Husband never went back. My daughter and I went at same time and he took forever to examine us and we decided to let him do the "worst" areas. Which none were in pain at the time but knew they needed to be done in the future. After 4 visits for my daughter and 6 for me we are in more pain than when we started. Today I went to have him look at an area he took care of last time (big filling) and he said I now need a crown there. And gave me novocain before even seeing what needed to be done. Complete waste of time and I told him so. Unless you want to know his complete personal life and to spend $1,000's of dollars on unnecessary work don't go to this dentist. Also, he treats his assistants and wife with total unprofessionalism.

I needed a dentist for my wife. She had a dentist but he kept sending her to other dentists for…read moreprocedures he didn't do. I was paying a fortune to 3 different dentists and it seemed to never get better. I read about a new dentist opening an office I Ramona. His bio seemed to include all dentistry. Imagine, a local dentist that does it all. We arranged an appointment and signed him up. Best decision. When my wives teeth had been taken care of I started on me. The more he worked on me the more I realized that this dentist was off the charts great. I couldn't believe I had him working on me. I am 74 now and at no time in my live have my teeth been this good. I look in the magnifying mirror and think, When did I get movie star teeth. This must be a mistake. If you need dentistry, rush, before he finds out how good he is.

I recently had my front tooth replaced by Marc Steiner, DDS Personalized Family Dentistry, and I…read morecouldn't be happier with the entire experience. His staff is fantastic! friendly, helpful, and always on top of everything. Dr. Steiner is incredibly diligent and truly committed to getting things perfect. He wasn't just satisfied with getting the color and opacity close, he wanted it exactly right, and he didn't stop until it was. We opted for a replacement root canal instead of an implant, and knowing my root was more fragile because of how long ago the injury happened, he took extra time to ensure everything was done with absolute precision. He made sure we achieved 100% contact points and even took the time to rebuild the foundation so the final result would be strong, stable, and natural-looking. The level of care and attention to detail was above and beyond anything I expected. If I could give him six stars, I would. Highly recommend Dr. Steiner and his team!

Dr. Fronjian is great! I've been a patient here for 6 years and refuse to go anywhere else. He is…read moresuper nice and does an amazing job cleaning my teeth.

I love that Dr. Fronjian can accommodate my schedule in most instances. He is punctual and sees me promptly so I don't feel like my time is wasted waiting. I have sensitive gums that are prone to bleeding, so I appreciate that Dr. Fronjian is thorough but careful when he scrapes my teeth. My teeth feel clean but I don't feel sore after my appointment. He uses a numbing gel to keep me comfortable, which is a nice touch. It's important to note that he does the cleaning himself rather than a dental hygienist that other offices typically use.

Its not the easiest to find an honest, talented, knowledgeable dentist that truly cares about…read morepeople these days. There are many impostors (as I'll explain), but few are the real deal. DR. THOMAS FITZPATRICK IS THE REAL DEAL! I went to Stonecrest Dental off of Aero Dr and they showed me X-rays that showed my bottom wisdom teeth moving horizontally and mashing into my molars. The dentist there said that I needed to see their oral surgeon and get them removed asap and would probably need root canals and crowns because of the damage reportedly done to my molars. The bill to just remove my wisdom teeth and some other basic care was around $2k! And thats with the HMO insurance! The root canals and crowns would be much more! Well, I waited and woke up one morning with my jaw throbbing in pain. I assumed it was the "damage" to my molars. I texted Thomas and he fit me in around another emergency appointment the same day! He took X-rays and when I saw them, confusion followed. My wisdom teeth looked NOTHING like the X-rays Stonecrest had shown me! My wisdom teeth were straight up and down. No damage to the molars. The pain was coming from an infection from a partially erupted wisdom tooth that was interacting with a nerve along my jaw. Thomas took great care to not only pull the tooth, but since I have never had an fillings or any type of dental care other than cleanings and braces, I has never gotten a shot or anything like that. Thomas made me feel so much better about future dental care. He's honest and gentle....perfect qualities in a dentist. The bill that was going to cost near $2k at the other place? I wont list prices specifically, but safe to say, the other place was ripping me off! Thomas also truly cares about people! Not only is he a stand up dentist, he's a stand up man! Ask him about his trips to Nicaragua and the coffee project he started to help build self-sufficient dentistry there! BOTTOM LINE: In a dentist, you want someone that makes you feel comfortable, won't rip you off, and cares about others. Thats Dr. Fitzpatrick. If you're going to any other dentist in San Diego, you're not getting the best!

Dr. Fitzpatrick is more than just a great dentist, he's also a great friend. (No seriously, he's a…read moregood friend of mine.) He cares very much about developing solid relationships with his clients and values quality dental care over volume, so you'll feel well taken care of sitting in his dental chair. He's also got the best equipment and uses the latest technology, such as digital imaging, and you get to watch some seriously entertaining DVDs during your teeth cleaning. Dr. Fitzpatrick is relatively young and a lot of fun, which helps soften the experience for those of us (who, me? nahhh) who may not enjoy going to the dentist all that often. His staff is also friendly. Every little bit helps, right? While you're getting your teeth all done up, ask him about his yearly trip to Nicaragua, where he leads a team of dental students to perform free dental care for the poor. He's got a great story about an interaction with a very high ranking Nicaraguan government official you may or may not have heard of...

I was in pain and Marcy was able to get me in right away. Dr. Krueger patiently walked me through what he would do to fix the issue. He was very careful , as fixing a bite can be very tricky. When he was done, I immediately felt relief. I also asked him to look at the other tooth, the previous dentist told me needed a new crown. He was honest and told me there was no reason to have that crown replaced. He and Marcy were so very kind. I appreciate there honesty and their expertise. I will continue to recommend Dr. Krueger. The office is very clean/organized and comfortable.

Not all whites are the same…read more.. Dr. Singer was not only the much-needed aesthetic-perfectionist-prosthodontist that I needed, but also a phenomenal "General Contractor" of my entire dental makeover plan. (He oversaw the work of my general dentist and periodotist.) My entire journey was about two years long, during which time my trips to Bernardo Center Dentistry were a delight. Pure prostodontists, NOT cosmetic dentists are hard to find. I am so glad he is here surving the greater San Diego area. I noticed a review of teeth not being white and want to address that directly from 40 years of experience with 4 different iterations of my teeth. There is much to consider when adding artificial teeth to existing teeth. Depth, opacity, shape, indentations, angle, and more can all affect the LOOK of teeth in natural lighting, fluorescent/LED lighting, shade, stage lights, and more. The only way to get a completely NATURAL and BEAUTIFUL look is to have teeth that have a uniform appearance with EXISTING teeth. The mistake so many dentists make is creating teeth that do not look consistent when moving from natural to artificial. In this, Dr. Singer's skill is UNMATCHED. I poured through the before/after photos at his office before making the decision to go with him. I lived with the dental drama from a childhood bike accident for 40 years. I don't think about it any more. You would NEVER know anything happened because of Dr. Singer's work. I could not be more pleased. He is the BEST. You can pay for an inexpensive "Cadillac Smile" from a cosmetic dentist, but if you want a "Mercedes Smile", find a prosthedontist who really knows what they are doing. If you live within 2 hours of his office, Dr. Singer is for you.

If you, (like me), aren't 'fond' of the need to visit dentists, yet know that such care is needed, (from time to time), and at times, when the procedures needed are challenging, but want a Dentist that you can count on to take care of you and make the experiences as comfortable as possible, then this is where you should be. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Farajzadeh! Keith McNally Carmel Valley, CA
