Do not believe the reviews you are reading about this dr. Joe, I have been to several dentists in la jolla, the service and quality of work was by far the worst. My 2 crowns and fillings fell out 2 weeks after placement. I went back to the dentist and he said " let's remake the crowns from American dental labs, your first ones were made. china". I have filed with the state and all dental societies, the doctor should not have a dental license, stay away!!!!
