I can say, with no hesitation, that Dr. Bartsch is the best dentist I have ever seen (and I have been to quite a few over the years!)
She is the most friendly, caring and sensitive (as well as knowledgeable and intellectually astute) doctor, let alone dentist that I have ever met and her staff are as talented and friendly as she is.
Her brilliant assistant, Rose and super-gentle dental hygenist, Trang are the best and I only name them because that's who I usually see. But anybody you see there will be great. I've never had a single bad experience in the past 5 plus years.
She's seen me through many dental emergencies (coming in on her day off, never complaining about it once). And always made me feel like everything was going to be okay.
Also, my dental health has definitely improved since seeing her. In the beginning, I was having crowns, fillings, and gum problems. Now it's just 2 regular checkups a year and I'm all done.
She my husband's dentist and also treats his whole family, and now quite a few of my family members as well.
It may sound strange, but I actually look forward to going to the dentist now.
I guess the fact that we drive from LA to San Diego to see her kind of says it all! :)
