I FOUND NEW MY DENTIST!!…read more Dr. Fung is terrific, and it was very much a "collaborative" experience. My crowns on 18 and 19 (lower left molars) were quite old, put in at different times. They were wearing down and I always had trouble flossing around/between them. Gums around them were not happy when I flossed. I met w Dr. Fung and told him I wanted two things in replacing these: 1) anatomical crowns that weren't just flat but more chiseled and were good chewers; 2) Good spacing between them and in front/behind so I could finally floss around them w/o shredding the floss. Well he delivered on both goals!! They are chiseled and chew great. Gums are happy and I can easily floss between/around the new crowns. Very pleased-- highly recommend. I came in after trying a couple other East County dentists over the last 10-15 years with less than stellar results on crown work. (Multiple returns for crown fitting, temporaries cracking over and over, and so on.) I had none of those issues w Dr. Fung.

Another amazing appointment! I am blessed to have found such an amazing dentist. I had a new…read morehygienist today and she was wonderful. Informative and caring and not judgmental which I think is the main reason I come to see Dr. Jon. I know that I don't floss as much as I should and they are really encouraging on best practices to floss more and maintain dental health. Anita at the front desk is so welcoming and it just starts off the visit just right. I have a lot of anxiety at the dentist and the office is so calming and everyone is so friendly. It's just an overall such a good experience every time I go that I know if you're not loving your dentist now, definitely make the switch. You will not regret it and you will be so happy you did.

Been going here for a a few years now they are pretty legit. I always go back. I like there care.read more

Had been going here for many years, always getting the work they said we needed…read more The last time I was told I could possibly need a new crown. My husband supposedly had gingivitis and started deep cleanings. It was always something or another. We both went to a dentist in Tecate for a second opinion. Both things were wrong!! I now wonder if all the previous work we both have paid for was indeed needed. My husband has not any gingivitis work done and his teeth are excellent. I have not had a crown replaced in a little over a year and my teeth are also great!! We go to them trusting their word. Are even dentist offices crooks? Can't trust even medical services anymore. Have since quit going.

I doubted it so I had her go to my trusted dentist. She made an appointment for yesterday with my dentist. She does NOT need a crown on that tooth. Avoid this practice as they are performing unnecessary work to inflate their profit. Plus they do not have a hygienist. The dentist cleaned her teeth last time. A good practice has a hygienist. My dentist has four. This practice is doing unnecessary work at a high price.

The entire team works incredibly well together and shows so much respect for one another. Everyone is highly trained, professional, and truly on point in everything they do. Dr. Le is amazing and does exceptional work. I recently had a crown done, and I was so impressed by how particular and meticulous he was throughout the entire process. Dr. Denise also did several fillings for me using the Solea laser AND I didn't need to get numb! What an absolutely amazing experience. Thank you all for making my appointment not only memorable, but fun as well! I truly enjoyed my experience with your incredible team.

[This review is 2-years overdue!!!]…read more First all, shout out to Keri who makes every visit feel less scary and more fun! She's gentle, thorough, and a great human... don't believe me?! Check out her personalized stamp on my dental swag! Selena is another great reason to choose TYFD- she's organized, responsive, and doesn't make you feel a burden whenever appointment adjustments are needed. When I needed a new crown, they were able to accommodate this procedure the same day. Lastly, Dr. Nguyen and Dr.Le both are super nice and... busy. There were a few visits where I was handed off to other dentists (also nice but not them). Overall, TYFD is worth the patient transfer from La Mesa Dental Artistry.

I have a terrible phobia of dentist from my childhood experiences. I had not been to the dentist in…read moreliterally 20 years and my dentist had retired since then I was supposed to come back in. And get a root canal and my dentist put a temporary cap over that tooth and told me to come back in after my vacation and have it taken care of. You know, 20 years later and the cap is still on that temporary cap mind you. Like four years ago, I ended up having stage 4 1/2 cervical cancer, which comes with a lot of radiation and chemo and none of it is friendly with your teeth nor is the medication's that dry your mouth out severely. Fast forward 20 years and I had the worst toothache. It was the whole right side of my mouth. My dentist had since Retired but there was still a dentist at that phone number. I feel kind of strange calling him a dentist because he's more of a angel. He was so patient understanding and just generally cares about people. If there was one problem with this, it's only because he made me feel so ridiculous for being afraid of the dentist when he was so gentle, and so not what my brain had wrapped around as a dentist. And it doesn't hurt he is so handsome. But truly, if you have a fear of dentist or even if you don't, this is an awesome office with people that care. I had work done yesterday and last night I received a text checking in to make sure I was OK. This morning, Dr. Ahmedo called himself to make sure I was doing OK and taking my antibiotics. I truly am so thankful that they were there and they took care of me please if you need to awesome dentist to cares about you cares about your pain and suffering this is the guy to go to. I cannot say enough good about this dentist. He's the best I recommend him 100%. And the only reason why he only got five stars is because they won't let you give more. He's a true gentleman thank you.

I first encountered Dr. O'Brien twelve years ago while managing a dental practice where he served…read moreas an associate, and even then, his reputation for exceptional care and patient satisfaction was widespread. It was a natural progression, therefore, for me to entrust my dental health to him when he established his own practice a few years later--a decision I have never once regretted. Dr. O'Brien embodies an unwavering integrity and a profound ethical compass that shines through in every aspect of his professional life. His philosophy is unequivocally patient-centric, prioritizing conservative and truly essential treatments. He operates with a steadfast commitment to only performing critical procedures, consistently seeking the least invasive yet most effective solutions to preserve and enhance his patients' oral health. This dedication is evident to anyone fortunate enough to be under his care; he demystifies complex procedures, employing advanced imaging to visually elucidate diagnoses, meticulously outlining comprehensive treatment plans, and proudly showcasing the impeccable results of his work. His precision is second to none--no detail is overlooked, no shortcut taken. Whether it's meticulously adjusting a bite after a filling or ensuring the margins of a crown are near perfection, his commitment to enduring quality is absolute. Beyond his formidable clinical skills, Dr. O'Brien possesses an exceptional chairside manner. His genuine warmth and delightful sense of humor transform what can often be an anxious experience into a remarkably pleasant one. He truly goes the extra mile --not just in treatment but also in fostering an environment where patients feel heard, understood, and genuinely cared for. Having dedicated years to the San Diego dental community and collaborated with well over 100 practitioners, I can confidently state that Dr. O'Brien stands among a very select few whom I implicitly trust. The excellence of Dr. O'Brien's practice extends seamlessly to his entire team, a group of individuals who are incredibly gracious, caring, thoughtful, helpful, and hardworking. Louella, the Office Manager, is not only exceptionally proficient but also deeply compassionate. Her dedication to patient advocacy shines through her meticulous handling of treatment coordination, insurance navigation, and transparent financial guidance. Her expertise ensures clarity and peace of mind regarding financial aspects, consistently delivering accurate and fair out-of-pocket estimates. Similarly, Cheryl consistently brightens the office environment with her infectious positivity and unwavering empathy, contributing significantly to the practice's welcoming atmosphere. Natalya is a phenomenal hygienist; she always does a thorough job in cleaning my teeth.

The rest of my…read morefamily left years ago because of O'Brien's constant upselling (sealants, night guards, etc.); lack of appointments; and their frequent cancellations and rescheduling (i.e. delays and headaches). I don't like change so I stayed for convenience. Turned out: it meant constant inconvenience. They regularly cancelled appointments, and then rescheduled weeks and even months later (as they overbook). Today, they just announced they no longer take my CA teachers' insurance (not a big enough profit). As I most recently waited three months to be rescheduled--and I'm late for xrays and a cleaning--I questioned them. They said I should trust the dentist and want to pay out of pocket. Absurd. This is a for-profit venture, with everything revolving around funding O'Brien's family. Left high and dry in the most uncaring way.
