The Doctor is wonderful! Very little pain (and I am a "dental phobic"). I have other health issues and he always takes them all into account. My cosmetic work (6 porcelain veneers) and restorative work (5 crowns and a bridge - still in progress) makes me return from the East Coast to him when I plan a stay in San Diego. He is solicitous of my comfort.
A couple of things: the office is newly renovated and looks nice, but the patient areas look disheveled. I am not used to seeing the instruments already out of their autoclaved packets, so I always ask when things have last been sterilized (one shouldn't have to ask).
Secondly: the front-office staff changes over frequently and they seem not to have a clue; they also seem not to get along. They're nice enough, but make sure they stay on top of why you are there.
