I was nervous about switching my long-time dentist from Manhattan Beach (LA area) after moving down to San Diego 2 years ago but the commute and the LA dentist's incovenient schedule jeopardized my every-6-month cleaning schedule. I found Dr. Yaros on 1800dentist.com and was able to schedule my first appointment within 3 days! I was amazed that the doctor himself did the cleaning as opposed to the hygenists and the level of technology ("pick" uses radiowaves/water to remove plaque and clean your teeth, has laser "cavity discovering" tool) . I couldn't recommend a better dentist! He is very thorough in both his work and explanations and his staff are very professional and friendly. He also provides creature comforts like a TV to watch during procedures and a spectacular and pristine office that one may not think to boost the dental experience but actually does...overall, if you are going to spend money on a dentist, spend it on Dr. Yaros!
