20 Best Dental Hygiene Programs In San Diego, CA (2022 Updated)

As a current student at Platt, there have been two things that have really stuck out to me about this college. A big thing I've enjoyed and really noticed at Platt is how incredibly passionate about teaching and the subjects they teach the teachers are. They genuinely care about each and every student and only want what is best for each of us. The teachers also all have industry experience and are only want to teach the most up to date and important stuff to help students succeed after graduation. Another thing I have truly enjoyed about Platt is the family atmosphere the school has. Everyone is always willing to help everyone and the school has a very laid back atmosphere. Despite this though, the school finds ways to push you harder than you've probably ever been pushed. I've learned an incredible amount of valuable knowledge about not just what I'm studying, but also about the industry and life in general. I have attended community college, and a big state school (Ball State) besides Platt and of the three Platt is my favorite, the state school I felt like I was just another student, I meant nothing to the teachers, at community college, the teachers were passionate but they lacked the proper funding to provide us with the proper equipment necessary. Platt provides all the equipment I need to succeed, and the teachers all know my name and make me feel important. This is why I would recommend Platt to anyone interested in the fields of Digital Media and Design.Sean Hunsche

Filmmaking finally feels accessible to me because of Platt College!! I am a Digital Media major focused on video production. Platt took all of my previous credits and is a veteran friendly school that offers a full time, yet flexible schedule. Platt uses hands-on learning to teach editing software like Premiere Pro and After Effects, but also gives students access to industry standard production equipment like a sound recording booth, a green screen room, and an entire equipment room. Each class focuses on the student building a portfolio. I now know how to create amazing special effects and my own industry level sound. And let’s talk about the campus! It’s small, easy to navigate, and parking is ample around the school when the lot is full. The campus has a cool vibe, it’s comfortable, tons of bathrooms, vending machines, and an open door policy with an amazing staff that cares about each student. Seriously, the school director has come to the screening of all of my class’s films! Not to mention the school always does cool, fun little things for holidays. We had a costume contest where winners won ACTUAL CASH, and a Valentine’s Day raffle with doughnuts! I’m so glad I found Platt. It’s a good school that gives you the tools and knowledge to achieve your dreams. I’ll catch you in the credits. Kimmy JusticeKimberly Justice

I had a great experience at this school, taking home my Associate and Bachelor Degree in three years time! This review though isn't going to be about the school but about a very special person named Celi Yankajtis, Career Services Director. Celi, along with all my teachers, have helped me become successful. Celi, in particular though, has helped me land TWO jobs. One for a startup app company and another recently at a local web marketing firm. I cannot thank her enough for the dedication and care she has for the students and their success. She truly loves her job and truly cares, the proof is with Alumni like myself. She continuously posts job openings in the schools career services job board and always goes above and beyond to help students find work, especially for those students who show the desire to succeed. I warn you though, DO NOT WASTE this woman's time! She truly is there for all the students but if you don't show effort yourself then you are wasting her time which she could be spending on students who want to succeed. Thank you Celi for being an amazing student advocate!!!G

My Business Administration Management class was amazing, I learned so much and I am carrying it with everywhere I go. Some people do not like it and so do. My instructor was so brilliant and I am so proud and thankful for him. With his support and all of SJVC workers, instructors, and all around everyone, I was able to get threw this pandemic we are still having and graduate with a 4.0 and being on the deans list. I am thankful for you all. Anyone who wants to go to college for Business or just in general, go to SJVC. They got you covered and they support your every step and decision. They help you become ready for excellency and, help you find a job that you will love and if that job doesn't work out for you they will go over and above to help you succeed and find a position you want and love. Again I want to thank you SJVC for everything and I will be seeing you again soon.Alisha Gonzales

I'm in the midst of the program and just love it!! The teachers and staff are fantastic and it feels like they have become my extended family. They care and want you to succeed. They offer many resources to help if you hit a road block. It's a very professional environment and they continue to train you on maintaining professionalism. I have learned so much in the 3 months I've been attending thus far and look forward to all the things I'll continue to learn. I'm thankful for SJVC, with their help my goals are becoming a reality.Jamie Carroll

Attending SJVC has been a wonderful experience for me. The overwhelming support, love and time that everyone spends on their students is immeasurable. My instructor Dr. Warman is an angel. He is hands on with his students and checks on us outside of class. He is very dedicated, supportive and relates to us in many ways. I appreciate his hard work and commitment to his students. Means the world to me. I am thankful to be apart of such an amazing school and I'm looking forward to getting my certificate.Krystal Mcguffie

I heard that USD is an excellent private university. They have highly accredited teaching, law, technology, language, environmental and psychology schools, as well as a number of others. I also heard that their physical education school is quite good. USD is one of our nation's top rated colleges in regards to higher education and just to get admitted, you must score fairly high on the SAT ( Taking the ACT can always helps too ) and presenting the admissions evaluation committee with a high school GPA that shows that you were in the top percentile of your graduating class is very beneficial; it also helps to have done some volunteer work and to have been on at least one or two high school committees. All of these combined together should help you gain admission to USD. This college is quite competitive-as are most of our best colleges nowadays. Most of USD's professors are seasoned-the best in our country-and very demanding; graduating in four years means a lot of hard work and can be a wearisome task and often taking a couple of summer session classes or a class or two during Christmas break can help one graduate within this time scale. They do offer scholarships however, these are difficult to get and student loans ( Federal Educational Grants can easily surpass fifty-thousand dollars a year! USD's tuition is at the high end of the scale, especially if you live off of campus ( The City of San Diego is amongst the ten highest priced "cost of living" metropolitan areas in the USA ). There are hundreds of nice condominiums, townhouses and apartments within the surrounding area however, the rental rates for a one to four bedroom unit start at about $900 to $1200 per room ( living together ) per month or about $2200 for a two bedroom townhouse/apartment, to $3500+ for a three to four bedroom ; I'm just giving you a general idea…it's a might expensive to live anywhere in San Diego. USD has many of the most beautifully designed buildings in San Diego; architectural masterpieces. Tourists who come to visit San Diego often include this private university in their sightseeing itinerary, as the photographic opportunities around this campus are simply marvelous; especially on a clear winter day from about early afternoon to sunset. They have a small visitors center, as you drive through their main entrance center and if you get lost, you should stop and ask a couple of students and they may be able to help you? There's a lot to see, including San Diego's famed Tecalote State Park, which lies just below the north side of this university.charles chiles

The campus is pretty. The teachers, at least those who are fluent in English, are mediocre, and those whose English language skills are very poor, are token so this campus can brag about being diverse. The dorms are so noisy that it is impossible to do any work in one's own room or get any sleep before 3 a.m. The people responsible for policing the dorms are too lazy and callously indifferent to do anything, and no matter how many complaints are made, it is a nightmare to live in the dirty, smelly and horribly noisy dorms. The religious classes, which are mandatory, are a total waste of time and not based on any accurate facts or historical accuracy. The head of the Student Health Center is dishonest and harmful, willing to smear any student she takes a hatred to. There are no responsible administrative officers to be found if you have a problem. This is not the place if you care about getting a solid and admirable education.Susan Lea

The University accepted my son to the credential program August 2011. After 2 years and more than $32000 in tuition he is not being allowed to do his student teaching because, in the opinion of some professors, he lacks the skills they require. These professionals (who demand that the credential candidates be able to reach and teach all students no matter what their learning styles or disabilities) should be knowledgeable enough to bring out the best in a young man who has wanted to be a teacher since in the seventh grade he was chosen by his teacher to tutor other students in reading. The professionals who are standing in the way of his dream need to evaluate their own teaching. What did they do to ensure my son's success in their program? What can they teach others when they themselves have failed as teachers?Mark Leonard

I'd like to think that because of Covid, there is a lack of help from this college. I have been trying my very best for the last month to do everything myself without the help from any employees at this college. I have not been contacted regarding how to get enrolled, registered, what classes I need, financial aid, etc. I have been struggling since I have submitted my application to this college. You basically have to figure out everything on your own which isn't hard for me to do because I was walked through the steps from my previous college who actually took the time to help me out. While I understand quite a few things, there are some things that I don't understand and that I have questions about but getting into contact with anyone at this college is very difficult. Even through emails, no one responds. This college lacks the skill for helping their future students. I believe that I have done everything necessary in order to be a student but getting in touch with a counselor is the biggest problem. Making an appointment with a counselor via zoom, is quite a struggle and I have messaged quite a few employees at the college but yet, I still haven't received any responses. I am about to give up and just try somewhere else although this college is very convient for me, it's not worth the struggle and hassle at this point. 😔Mary McDonald

Great atmosphere. Their financial aid office needs help though. I started my fasfa around May and I'm trying to get in for the fall. I sat down with the students that help you with the fasfa form online so I don't do it wrong. I had to wait for them to approve it. They told me to bring my parents IRS info, even though I used the retrieval tool. I had to do a dependent verification form. Turned in copies of those. Then asked for my W-2. Then they asked for another verification form. Just constantly asking me for things I turned in. It sometimes takes them weeks to let you know what's next. So I learned the hard way the previous year that they ask for these forms every semester. They didn't tell me until I was applying for another semester. First year student trying to figure them out. I lived in El Cajon when they were asking for forms making this process extra annoying. Apparently they had to restart the process for the new semester. Don't ask me why but this is the most annoying part of school. I advise making multiple copies of whatever they ask for IRS FORMS, W-2, AND TAX INFO. They'll ask for it next semester and start it months before to avoid lines. I'm grateful there is a financial office though or school would be ROUGH! Thank you. EDIT: THEY MOVED TO A 270PERSONAL

City College is represented by the San Diego transit people, MTS, as City College Trolley Station, a cave, possibly Plato's, remarkable for grime and an expansive range of social behaviors not common in the quiet halls of ivy and higher education. The City College Trolley Station, is, of course, the gateway of San Diego's always expanding skidrow that could be seen as starting here and continuing to 25th and Commercial. San Diego and the real estate community promotes skidrow as being the East Village, but it's not really so much a village as it is a refugee camp. And it is getting bigger every day and will one day engulf all of downtown and possibly as far into the neighborhoods as Hillcrest and North Park. City College Trolley Station is what San Diego is becoming, or is, and what could a college want more than to be so inextricably tired to the dramatic representation of San Diego's future , the (San Diego) City College Trolley Station?Range Cow

Two years ago I had the good insight of enrolling in Concorde's PTA program. The program is run by knowledgeable Physical Therapists invested in quality education (Mary, Sam, Laura, Kelly, Dennis). They provided me with the necessary tools to start a new career and enter the work force feeling competent with my skills. The school has a department dedicated to assist graduates find a job, Alvy has personally helped me with this, he even rendered a mock interview so that I would show up to a possible employer as a strong and coherent candidate. Because the program is so well organized (from prerequisites to clinical rotations and even when/how to signing up for your board test!) it is easier to have a balance school/personal life. And when you approach the school, Karl, the security officer at the entrance, is the most welcoming and kind person that will ever open a door for you.Yawi Griffini

My experience at Concorde has truly been astounding. I joined the Medical Assistant program and my teacher Ms Tameka was nothing short of a great instructor. She was very patient, compassionate and dedicated to ensuring that every student learned even if it meant staying late or adapting the way she presented materials.The Financial staff Eva and Peetee were very efficient in handling my paperwork so that I could dedicate my focus to studying and be successful. Upon completion my graduate employment specialist Rocky was a true rockstar. I had no faith in using their services but this guy was very helpful in making sure my resume was top notch and that I was interview ready and confident enough to land jobs and ask for the money I deserved. I am very thankful for all of the staff at Concorde for helping me to be a success in the healthcare field today!Neshia B

I attended Concorde Career College for the Medical Assistant Program and after completing, I am now a graduate!. After completing my externship, Rocky Ramirez who is our graduate employment specialist assisted me with my resume and employment opportunities. Not only was Rocky very helpful but he goes above and beyond on ensuring that his students are fully prepared for the next step. He was always available when I needed his help, always checking in to see how things are going. You can definitely count on him for anything. Thanks to rocky, I am now employed! He surely does the best job with helping each one of his students at Concorde! :)) Thank you again Rocky!!Gabriella De Soto

The first class I took at ICOHS was parasympathetic massage with Karen Heine Zlatic, a patient, kind holistic health practitioner/teacher. I now think of her as the mother of massage. She is a perfect introduction to this school. Her energy is nurturing and the intention is set. This is a professional school, with heart and soul. The second class was circulatory massage with John Economos, a jovial teacher who starts each class with Brain Gym and leads each class with deep understanding of the body, humor and professionalism. Julia Plunket teaches all kinds of interesting classes on all things nutrition, herbs and supplements. With 40+ years of experience coming through with a clarity and confidence from hands on work helping people correct imbalances naturally, Julia is a wealth of invaluable knowledge. From Hugo Anguiano, I learned an ancient form of Ayurvedic massage. Hugo is a serious teacher with a great big soul that comes through his teachings and one cannot help but feel guided to do their best under his instruction. He offers a variety of modalities and energetic classes that I look forward to learning before my education is complete here. Currently, Martine Melilla is guiding a beautiful seasonal Women's Spiritual Journey. I heard fellow students chatting about her classes well before I experienced one for myself. Her reputation proceeds her. Martine brings an elegant island goddess energy into play. I am fresh out of my first day of this class and I want more. This is going to get good! The administration are competent and spiritual people, as well. Alison was my first point of contact. She always greets you with a great big smile and a hug. Veronica is here making this "house a home" away from home. You often are surprised with healthy snacks and drinks she sets out between classes and if ever you need comfort, a conversation, or to ask a question, Veronica is someone who is eager to help. All over ICOHS, you will find areas where student services has been thinking of some ways to soften the edges. Veronica's a busy bee, always looking to improve the students experience because as she says, "We wouldn't be here without You!". For me, who I share my energy with is important. I have found ICOHS to be a safe place to learn, with instruction and guidance from well educated instructors who are passionate and have time invested in their mode of holistic health. It is easy to feel the excitement the instructors have passing down their knowledge. I had previously attended 800+ hours at another holistic school that I learned so much good stuff from. I came to ICOHS with skepticism about how much more I could possibly learn. I'm thrilled to be getting a deeper knowledge, confidence, and understanding of how the human body works holistically. I am very happy to share this in hopes that we all be so blessed to find a perfect piece to our puzzle.DeAnna Ponder

Extremely friendly institution that has created a community fostered from people who practice holistic health. The atmosphere created by the community is one that is warm and welcoming. I have met many great peers at International College of Holistic Studies. We have bonded over one commonality – holistic living – but have found that there are many more interests that exist outside of our hobbies. Thus, International College of Holistic Studies is more than just an institution, but rather, International College of Holistic Studies has created a community of like-minded individuals that continue to give back. I highly recommend checking out this institution, even if you are not interested in holistic living. There are some really great people here.Brian Biddel

This massage and holistic healing school has been in Pacific Beach since 1989. They are state licensed, GI Bill approved (Vets welcome!). With SEVIS / Homeland Security Approval, they can write M1 Visas for foreign students. Holistic Health Practitioner, Massage Therapist and Massage Practitioner and Nutritional Counselor are only some of the certifications they offer. The massage clinic is run by students and if you want a deal on a massage, this is the place! On Monday evenings they offer free Vet massage and lecture/massage to the public. Check out the web site for current speakers.Andrew Mansker

Dr. Kwok is absolutely amazing! He is a magician when it comes to gums. I've had some serious gum recession that I have neglected over the years. I was referred to Dr. Kwok by my dentist, and after my first consultation with him, I felt comfortable and at ease trusting him to fix my recession. Dr. Kwok was calm and explained all of my questions and concerns thoroughly. I decided to knock out the entire procedure for my 8 teeth all at once. The surgery was 4.5 hours, and was literally painless! Dr. Kwok made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure, and even had breaks in-between. For the recovery, he texted me personally when I was home to make sure everything is ok and I am not experiencing any issues. When I saw my dentist for a cleaning (you can't brush your teeth after a gum graft – you have to be very gentle), she was blown away when she compared the before/after pictures of my gums. If you require a gum graft, look no further. Dr. Kwok is the only person I would trust. Thank you Dr. Kwok!David H

Everyone at San Diego Periodontics & Implant Dentistry was fantastic! Dr. Kwok was professional, informative and gentle. I had two osseous surgeries. The procedures were comfortable and pain-free. Dr. Kwok was very thorough and skilled. Swelling and bruising were minimal after both surgeries. Healing was smooth without sensitivities or excessive inflammation. I am very happy with the result. And huge appreciation to the staff! There were all very kind, caring, and sweet. Overall it was a great experience! Thank you!Ashley K. Davis

Dr. Kwok and his staff are amazing! I used to hate coming to the dentist from my past experiences but after coming in from the start he makes me feel so comfortable coming into my appointments and always break every detail down for me to understand the process and procedures. I enjoy coming in to see Dr. Kwok and his staff. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a periodontics.Bryan Dominguez

I don't even know where to start, Dr. Sutton and his team are the BEST! My parents have been seeing Dr. Sutton for years and I started seeing him since I was very young and still see him now at 18 years old. We have immense trust in him and his team, and are never unsatisfied with his services! He is incredibly knowledgeable and you can tell he, and his staff, all love what they do. Their office is so friendly and a warm environment which immediately calms my nerves. I'm terrified of going to the doctor but am never afraid to go to Dr. Sutton's office 🙂 His front desk staff is also absolutely incredible!!! I feel like family whenever I call the front desk and am so grateful for all they do. 100000% recommend!Elli-Ana Hauser

I have been a patient at Dr. Sutton’s office for over 9 years, 6 of those years living outside CA including as far away as the east coast. Some may ask, “Why would anyone travel 3,000 miles to see his / her dentist?”….because Dr. Sutton and his team are really that fantastic! By far the best dentist and dental care I have ever had! I look forward to my dental appointments and if my insurance covered more frequent visits, I would schedule without hesitation! Great Dentist, great team, wonderful care, and all the latest technology and treatment plans. If you are seeking a new dentist, look no further. You will not be disappointed with Dr. Sutton and his team! Thanks Dr. Sutton and Staff!!JayNaSia Bohager

Dr. Sutton and his team are the best! The quality of dental care is excellent and the staff friendly and efficient. You will feel comfortable in his new office with its state of the art technology and comfortable surroundings. There are even tropical fish swimming around on the large screen in the front lobby to make you feel at home! This makes the whole dental experience more enjoyable- but the most important part is that your dental care will be done right, and you will feel good about the care you received. I highly recommend Dr. Sutton and his team for a great dental experience and good dental health!Paul Mehnert

Okay, it is rare I write a review but this office and their staff are deserving of one. The dentists here have been spot on in their diagnosis for the care of my teeth & gums. Sadly, I’ve needed to have a lot of work done over the years, very much regretting now not caring for my teeth when I was younger. So fast forward to 2020, in search of a new dentist after my dentist of many years retired, I came upon a brochure for Gentle Dentistry. The color brochure of happy smiling faces had me open it and read on. I made an appointment that very day and happy I did. On my first visit, Dr. Maggie explained in detail necessary procedures to help save a tooth and also preventive measures and options to care for my entire mouth. To this day, everyone I interact with in their office is friendly and extremely competent. If you’re looking for a new dentist office for whatever your reason, I highly recommend you give a call to Gentle Dentistry. They know !!maryanne petrilli

An excellent team working together to provide the best services with great dental work. When a crown is needed I really like that all the work is done in-house allowing for the entire work to be done and completed on the same day – from start to finish. It saves a lot of back and forth trips and possible embarrassing moments. Not only do I feel confident these dentists will do what’s best for my overall oral hygiene from a medical stand point but I also know from experience they are artists as well creating the perfect shape and color matching your natural teeth with the results that no one will know you have a crown inserted. I highly recommend.France

Terrible! They wouldn’t even treat my daughter even though she was assigned to this dental office through her insurance. She needed a couple cavities filled and the novice dentist said she “didn’t feel comfortable with a case this complex” and sent her away with no treatment. They had her treatment plan emailed to them ahead of time, yet they waited until the whole family came in to their appointment to turn them away. They could have emailed or called to let them know the dentist is incapable of handling a ten year old with dental needs. What a joke!Danny Bregman

Dr. Woods and her team are top notch! She’s definitely the best dentist in all of San Diego and worldwide who truly mastered her craft with painless procedures and pure products. I would give more than 10 stars for cleanliness, timeliness, customer service, professionalism, dental care, workmanship, results and all of the above if I could. I have no complaints. I can’t ask for anything more. I’ve never met any professional with a soul like hers. The main attraction is her honesty, hardworking and humble heart. She’s always taken the time to prioritize my needs and I always have the greatest feeling leaving Brighton Dental, it’s such a special place for me because of all the love there makes all the difference in my world, they are definitely unbeatable and no place like any other. They have always made me feel like family since day 1 and I’ve been a fan of her work for several years now and she never fails in giving me the utmost care ever. Dr. Woods you are the best and you are one of the few doctors I know who listens and looks after your patients. I am so grateful for you spending your valuable time talking to me and genuinely caring for me and having my best interest at heart. When it comes to my teeth, you know exactly what’s best and you definitely DO NOT disappoint! Thank you so much! I owe my smile to Dr. Woods and her staff. She is an Angel and I know I’m in the best of hands with Dr. Woods, Sheila and all her staff, bless you all! You never cease to amaze me and you are so loved & admired. Forever a loyal patient, with Love & Gratitude, LynnLyn L

Going to the dentist has never been a good experience for me as long as I can remember. For this reason, dental visits were few and far between. From the moment you walk in to Brighton Dental, a sense of calm is present in the waiting room. The ambiance is similar to that of a spa, and tricks your mind into thinking that you might be getting a facial of some sort. The ladies there are so bubbly and outgoing, even on a Monday morning. I can’t imagine how chipper they’d be on a Friday! Truly, what’s most impressive about Brighton Dental is the amount of technology the ladies use. From X-rays to 3D photography, the technology is phenomenal! They also do a very extensive and thorough cleaning prior to the dentist seeing you; no tooth left unturned! Finally, there’s Dr. Woods. The best hands you could possibly be in. The way she speaks to you shows just how passionate she is about her work and how much she cares about you and your teeth. This is apparent in the types of holistic medicine she used on me. When I visited Dr. Woods, all I wanted was a simple extraction of a broken tooth. Instead, she repaired it as well as the tooth next to it. I came back a week later and two perfectly colored crowns were implanted into my mouth as if it never ever happened. I am so grateful to Dr. Woods and her staff for making something I’ve always dreaded into a very comforting experience. I walked in with an emergency situation and left with a solution as well as preventative measure.Adrian Diaz

Dr. Woods and all of her office staff are careful, informative and focused on a positive results. They are all very respectful of your time and your needs. She is very pleasant, honest, humble, and most importantly very up to date on her knowledge, expertise, and top of the line equipment – they've got a super cool new itero machine which gives 3d scans of your mouth and even shows you how Invisalign can change your smile in as little as 6 months, which is what I'm doing. You really don’t need to go anywhere else for dental work as she has everything you want there from a dental office. Overall, great experience which doesn’t happen at a dental visit always. Would highly recommend Dr. Woods and Brighton Dental.K.G. Davis

As someone who is terrified of the dentist, with multiple scarring experiences, I LOVE this dentist. The staff is always super nice and understanding! Dr. Ali is the best dentist I've ever had. He listens to me and my concerns, and is very honest. I trust what he tells me and know I'm in good hands going here. Highly recommend! Honestly I can't recommend enough, especially if your nervous about the dentist! The vibe here is just so much better then anywhere else I've been. I even switched insurances specifically so I could go here, which is telling. You won't be disappointed.Taelyr v

I had a great experience today! Staff is so very friendly and I just love the vibe here. Dr. Is funny, knowledgeable and very professional. I haven’t been to the dentist in awhile and was a bit nervous but that all disappeared once in the office. I have a treatment plan in place and will return in the coming weeks for completion. Do yourself a favor if you need a dentist this is your guy!!!Kelley Moats

Wow what a gem I have found in this little neighborhood!! Super friendly and professional staffs, and Dr. Ali is knowledgeable and not pushy about a treatment that’s not necessarily a must for the moment, he’ll explain all the options available for me to decide. I took my daughter here today and I was so impressed that I scheduled my cleaning here. Recommended!Tar Kai

Dr. Bender is the best! Yesterday was my first visit at the office. I had an exam and cleaning and discussed my concerns about my TMJ. The staff at this office are so amazing. They’re all super nice. My dental hygienist Shannon was extremely thorough. Denise took the photos and x rays of my teeth and she was very friendly and funny. Dr. Bender really took the time to get to know me as a patient. He asked a lot of questions and I didn’t feel rushed at all. I had the most thorough dental exam and cleaning of my life. I really felt valued as a patient and I’ve finally found a dental office that really cares about its patients and puts their patients first. I highly recommend this office especially Dr. Bender, Shannon and Denise. You won’t be disappointed if you see them, I guarantee it.Stephanie Fan

Truly the most professional clinic dental center I’ve ever been to. These guys are so good that I specifically come all the way from Arizona just to get my teeth taken care of by them. I have always had a very strong anxiety going to dentists, and to doctors overall, but these guys here really help you calm down while getting all the necessary teeth work done. You can always tell them to stop or to take a break, and they will be very gentle and patient with you. I’ve had numerous operations done with them, and they’re truly the best. Recommend for all, especially those who feel anxious going to the dentist.Idan Gubeskys

Out of 5 stars I would give Scripps Center for Dental Care a 10+. From general dental care to special procedures and surgery, their multi-specialty dental team has always provided me with the highest quality, expert treatment and personal, compassionate care. Not only is the personnel exemplary personally and professionally, the office has on site state-of-the-art equipment, making visits efficient and and successful. I've never been this continually impressed with a dental practice in every respect. I highly recommend them continually to everyone I know.S Schwarz

I saw this dentistry open up recently and was due for a cleaning and checkup. The staff was very welcoming the second I stepped in the door. The check-in process was smooth and I was quickly brought back for my x-rays and exam. I ended up needing some treatment and Dr. T explained everything very clearly. The front office staff was very helpful in explaining costs of treatment and financing options if I couldn't pay for it all in full at once. I wanted to just get all of the treatment done so I could get it over with and I expected to be there for a while. Surprisingly I was out within an hour. The cleaning was very thorough and the cavity removal was quick and painless. The assistants and Dr. T were very efficient in their work. I'm glad I found a new dentist and I look forward to getting my routine checkups here from now on.Kevin Su

First time back in the dental office since Covid started and Dr T made sure everything was properly examined and addressed. Dr T's entire staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in the door. All of the equipment is brand new and the office has that "new car smell". The staff took all precautions to ensure patient safety and Dr T took time to explain my X-rays along with recommendations. Before any procedures occurred, his staff walked through the pricing and insurance coverages to determine what I'd like to proceed with. Throughout my appointment, the entire staff made sure I was well informed and understood what was about to happen. The attention to detail was reassuring and I'll definitely be coming back more regularly. Thank you to Dr T and your entire staff for a positive experience!Alex Parra

I highly recommend this dental practice. Visits to the dentist are usually a stressful experience for me because of the discomforts caused during dental cleanings and procedures. My experience at College Avenue Dentistry was anything but that. Dr. Taraporewalla and the staff are incredibly friendly and took great care of me. I appreciate the way Dr. T focused on areas that I had said were bothering me, in addition to closely examining my x-rays and teeth for any other potential areas of concern. He took his time in explaining any issues he saw in a way that was easy understand. I also felt at ease and pain/discomfort free throughout my cleaning. With the care that was provided by Dr. T and his team, my family will be switching by over to this practice for our future dental care!Krupa Patel

Had my very first appointment with Splendid Smiles, and then a follow-up, I cannot say enough great things about this office… Honesty, welcoming, trust, specialists, all the great things you wish for when trying to find a new dentist/doctor!

I must say that Dr.Shalini Thatte is a fantastic dentist”. She has over 16 years experience in all aspects of dentistry. She has placed Implants on many friends of mine with fantastic results. She has an amazing state of the art 3D Cone-beam CT machine which helps for an excellent diagnosis for patients. I highly recommend this dental practice”. Splendid Smiles San Diego. If you need a great dentist with a professional team this is the place!Cesar Valenzuela

Dr. Shalini is extremely informative and patient! She made me feel like a valued patient rather than just trying to rush me out of the office and move on with the next one. She explained the situation with my teeth better than any dentist I’ve had, and she gave me all the options and recommendations in regards to straightening some gaps in my teeth. I would highly recommend her for dental work!Justin Mogannam

I graduated from the Dental Hygiene department at the San Bernardino campus. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. The staff truly has your best interest at heart. They will spend countless hours to ensure the students feel confident and prepared for state exams and our future career. The classes are challenging as they should be. If you put the work in, you’ll succeed in this program. I passed all three state exams first try. On the clinic floor there are multiple instructors and different doctors on staff so you are able to learn from multiple clinicians. Beyond the educational portion, Concorde was like a second family to me. From walking through the doors being greeted by security guard LT, down the hall seeing Mrs. Ludwig’s infectious smile, to the staff lounge filled with inspiring teachers; I know I always have a home at Concorde and have mentors I can connect with for years to come.Dani Alcantar

As a student here I advise not to go to this school for the Respiratory Therapist class. You pay book fees for the ACLS and NRP and they don't let you keep the books. Then they don't tell you that you have to pay for the course because it's not covered. This school rips off there students and you pay unknown fee's. I don't advise this school and you are better off going to a different school. Plus for the last term which is the most important they don't even teach you and you don't go to a seminar for Kettering. They tell you good luck. This school is unprofessional and the RT director doesn't care about the students they just care about money. GO TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL BECAUSE YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS ONE. It's too late for me but I could help out future RT students.Hailey Salvatore

Concorde has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my healthcare career! I got my LVN from a different school and wasn't too happy about the experience, so walking into Concorde to inquire about the Neurodiagnostic I was really leery. Let's just say when meeting with Melody Villa was amazing addressing any and all questions I had, I couldn't be more thankful for her and making me feel at ease in taking this step! After finishing the program I was able to find my forever career and it was all thanks to Concorde and their amazing staff. Thank you Melody for helping me and my future!jeriko carbonell

I’m not actually a patient of Carmel Valley Dental, but I have worked with Dr. Bancroft and her team for the last 5 years, and they never cease to amaze me. Dr. Bancroft uses the absolute BEST products on her patients, the greatest technologies to help her, and the other incredible women in the office, treat their patients at the highest Level. They are all remarkably kind and genuine and they truly care about, not only one another, but each and every patient that comes through their front door. Thanks Carmel Valley Dental, for making my job, working for you, so much fun!Tom Slezak

Dr. Bancroft is the most wonderful Dentist I have ever known. She is a fantastic Doctor & an exceptional human being. I chipped my tooth & Dr Bancroft was able to fit me into the schedule. They put a filling on the chipped tooth & I cannot even tell it isn't my real tooth. It looks so natural. Even the color is perfect. The staff at Carmel Valley Dental is excellent. This office has the nicest staff. Everyone in the office is personable, kind & friendly. I would recommend this office to anyone who wants the best dental care in town. Justinejustine k

I would avoid this dentist as they have changed their tune and are trying to get you to do unnecessary services. Between my husband and I they told us we had 14 cavities. We went to a different dentist and no cavities. I can’t believe a dentist would want to drill in somebody’s mouth unnecessarily. I would avoid Dr. Bancroft and her team at all expenses.Gina Rhyner

This school is terrible. Their customer service and refund department is one of the worst I've dealt with.I had to drop classes and requested a refund but they changed their policies and it's been over two months and I still have not received my refund they keep changing their policies to avoid refunding my fees. I've asked to speak to the financial department supervisor and they say they only communicate via email. If you are planning on attending this school.. you may want to try somewhere else. These people are definitely not doing good business .maria Ramirez

I attend classes for the Business of Craft Beer and couldn't be happier with the instructors, the classes and not to mention that the campus is gorgeous.Donovan Alcantara

Came by for my free consultation today for Invisalign and I was blown away. Everyone was so nice, there was no wait and everything was super clean. All the criteria from procedures and after care to financing were explain very clearly. I was very impressed by the equipment they used and shocked how clear the 3D scan was for my before and after smile. I completely understand why this place is one of the highest rated Invisalign centers in California. I look forward to proceeding with my treatment and giving another review once it’s all over.Ciaran Steinkamp

I had a great experience with Dr. Eshom & Joan. They both made me feel at ease throughout my visit. They made sure I am comfortable and made this journey to having a brighter and beautiful smile more pleasant as going to the dentist for me is not my favorite. I am very pleased with their knowledge and gave me the best option with my complicated case. Really grateful and received an outstanding outcome! Thank you! Will definitely refer this place to my family and friends ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Candice Claudio

San Diego Invisalign are truly the experts in San Diego. I had two consultations with other orthodontists who insisted that I will have to get braces or wear Invisalign for over two years. But here at San Diego Invisalign, the technology is top of the line. They straightened my teeth and fixed my open bite in only 4 months (I will still wear the clear trays for another 6 months as the teeth heal). I'm very impressed and amazed at the excellent customer service!Half Moon Yoga and Art

I am so impressed with Dr. McMahon and his office staff. I was very unhappy with my last dentist when I needed several crowns. I was referred by my oral surgeon to Dr. McMahon and had an amazing experience from the start. His skill level vastly surpasses my last dentist on the complexities of crowns after an implant. When I had pain in a tooth the staff worked me in quickly and he spent time to ensure I was taken care of. I trust Dr. McMahon with my dental care and highly recommend him.Patti Flores-Charter

Everyone in the office is professional in their dealings with the patient, from receptionist to Dr. McMahon. Any emergent problems are rapidly identified, and corrective actions taken in a timely manner. The facility is equipped with the most modern equipment and the level of cleanliness is particularly noteworthy. Overall, a most excellent experience.Flysby Knight

I love this dentist! Dr. McMahon and those in his office are always welcoming and professional. I've never had a complaint in the past 12 years I have been a patient. I appreciate how he explains what needs to be done, why and then how. Always a positive experience!Robin Withers

I highly recommend Dr. Toppi and his staff to anyone looking for a friendly knowledgeable pediatric dentist who knows exactly what their little patients need. We originally came to Lil' Smiles for a second opinion for my 5 year old who was told she needed fillings immediately under anesthesia during a visit with another dentist. We arrived with my daughter who was extremely nervous and wouldn't allow for cleaning and xrays from her previous provider. They immediately put her at ease with their friendly staff and calm environment. They were able to get a full set of xrays and cleaning done during her visit. Dr. Toppi was thorough and informative, he checked my girl over and reassured me that she didn't actually need a filling, then proceeded to explain exactly why he felt that way. After our visit we switched over our care to them for both our kids. We just returned with both my kids for cleanings and the experience was just the same. Both kids were treated kindly and respectfully, they didn't push my 4 year old when she felt uncomfortable and a little nervous. My kids left the dentist happy and looking forward to their next visit!Danielle Vivian

It's relevant to note that our first time going to Lil' Smiles was during Covid and they did an amazing job making our family feel safe! They have implemented an express check in by texting once you arrive, then going over a screening questionnaire via phone call before you enter the office followed by complimentary hand sanitizer. They also have a stress free check in process with the use of iPads to submit your info. From the moment you arrive reception is friendly and attentive. They have every little kid friendly detail figured out perfectly. Wonderful experience start to finish. Dr Toppi is fantastic and took the time to go over all our questions. By far this is the best dental care for little ones! We feel so lucky that our 15 month old son had such a great start here, he is never going to feel scared in a dental office. Good experience is so important for young kids!! Big thank you to everyone at Lil' Smiles!Syl L

My little guy loves going to Lil’ Smiles the office has so much to look at, it has a wonderful, spacious, calming, colorful under the sea theme. Dr Toppi is the best and really listens to your concerns and is also great with kids making them feel relaxed. Dr Toppi makes the experience fun, kids can even watch TV on the ceiling during the exam. The Lil’ Smile staff is warm and friendly and attentive to your child’s needs. We have been going to Dr Toppi for 4 years and lil’ Smiles has made going to the dentist a positive experience for my child, thanks Dr Toppi!Marilyn Scoffin
