I am so sad to see the ratings for El Norte Family Dental. I had the BEST experience I have ever…read morehad with a dentist office today, March 6. I highly recommend you give them a try.. you will not regret it! My daughter (7YO) and I switched over to El Norte after mediocre services from another Escondido dentist. My daughter and I had an hour each dedicated to our visit.. wow! Very impressed. As the employees walked in to get their days started, all of them greeted us with a smile and a "hello" as they walked through the waiting room. I immediately felt welcomed, and nothing felt rushed, which is rare nowadays. My daughter came in for her bi-annual visit and the staff was SO kind and patient with her. She has a horrible gag reflex and doesn't love the dentist. They showed and explained everything to her, and the appointment was a success. The Dentist recommended some preventative care for her back molars (sealants) which I accepted and that was also done with care. After my daughter, it was my turn, and I unfortunately needed a filling. Took care of this during this visit and also had my teeth cleaned. While I was getting my x-rays and before my husband was able to pick up my 7 and 3 year olds, the staff kindly kept an eye on them, ensuring I could concentrate on my teeth. I felt very blessed to have been in that office with such understanding people. Usually, people get upset when kids are around--not them. The staff and dentist took their time to ensure their work was top notch and at the same time, I was not in there for half a day which I truly appreciated! They talked to me about Invisalign which I was thinking about any way and will most likely be moving forward with that once my new insurance kicks in. Everything went off without a hitch and again, everyone was SO nice. 5 out of 5 stars for this office! I highly recommend it! PS. I would ignore the reviews about costs--insurance coverage and amounts charged back to patients are dictated by the insurance company, not the dentist.

I should have done more research but I chipped a tooth that was cutting into my tongue, so I went…read moreonto my insurance page to find something close to my home with a good rating (without checking other review sites) and landed here. I called about my sharp chipped tooth but they said I had to call and first come in for an exam and x-rays and then schedule getting the tooth fixed at a later date- fine. Of course after the exam they said I needed the whole deep clean etc etc, fine. I came in to get my tooth capped, and they completely messed it up. It doesn't feel anything like a tooth. It's a back molar and the middle part is filled in and flat, unlike a normal molar which has a divot in the middle. It "bubbles" in the back and has a very abnormal shape. The texture of the whole thing is not smooth. And, worst of all, when she was grinding it down; she did too much on one side and the sharp part is exposed again. Now I have to go somewhere else and somehow start over. I mentioned my concerns when I was there but she wasn't understanding.

Germaine & the entire front and back office are equally amazing. I felt heard & supported. I felt understood and listened to. I felt empathy; I felt like I was having a genuine human interaction, which is getting rare these days. Absolutely everyone there was friendly AND professional! They completely humored me, put up with my bad jokes and nervous babbling & laughter; answered my questions and listened to my concerns. Germaine was the best! Super funny guy himself! I hate to say it, but he was my favorite. though everybody there was awesome. And let me tell you, Dr. Soelberg has a magic touch! I had 13 teeth extracted, 3 alveoplasty's with 3 sutures. And that was my second visit. I had an extraction a month before this and had zero pain afterwards. Then, I literally had almost zero pain at all 13 extraction sites. Now my jaw is another story. But that is normal & I'm grateful for the i uprofen. I'm not sure if it IS normal to have almost zero pain at the extraction sites, but I did not. I'm not even sure how that's possible. They truly have a magic touch. The facility is gorgeous, super clean, warm and inviting. I really just can't emphasize adequately how absolutely awesome Dr Soelberg & the staff are. They made an absolutely terrifying, life changing procedure, bearable. I am forever grateful and I would recommend them 100%! Big thanks to the entire staff at NCOFS!

After reading the office's response to my husband's review, I feel the need to share my own…read moreexperience as the person who actually went into the office to discuss the billing issues. The problem was never that we refused to contact insurance ourselves. The issue was the office's unwillingness to help clarify obvious discrepancies or assist in resolving confusing charges related to treatments THEY recommended. When I visited the office, I asked reasonable questions about inconsistent insurance payments, unclear billing, and financial charges added during the insurance processing period. For example, insurance paid very different amounts for exactly the same treatment. The office simply printed out the insurance payment details and even agreed that it "didn't make much sense." However, when I asked if they could help double-check with insurance, I was repeatedly told that it was "my responsibility" to deal with insurance. Simply telling patients to call their insurance company is not the same as providing good customer service or billing transparency. What made the experience especially frustrating was the dismissive attitude throughout the conversation. In particular, when I pointed out that financial charges were being added before insurance had even completed processing the claims, I explained that the insurance payment timeline is between the office and the insurance company, and patients should only be responsible for the unpaid portion after insurance processing -- not finance charges on the full amount during that process. The response I received was essentially: "Well, it's your insurance. They paid us late, so you are responsible." I have honestly never experienced this type of billing practice anywhere else. Overall, this office felt far more focused on collecting money than caring for patients. This was reflected in the unclear, non-itemized invoices we received. If I had not gone into the office personally and asked for printed details, I would never have understood how these so-called "financial charges" were being calculated. Please carefully review your invoices if you visit this office. I truly hope this feedback encourages them to improve their billing transparency and customer service.

I usually don't leave negative reviews, but this experience was very disappointing…read more I went to this dental office last September for a routine cleaning. I was strongly recommended a deep cleaning and was told my insurance would likely cover it, so I agreed. Months later, I received a bill of over $400 with no clear explanation or itemized breakdown. When we went to the office to ask for clarification, we were not given clear answers and were told to "deal with the insurance company ourselves." There was no willingness to review the charges or help us understand the billing. We also noticed additional financial charges were added over time, even while the insurance claim was still being processed. We were never informed of any outstanding balance during visits. Overall, the communication, billing transparency, and customer service were very poor. It felt more focused on billing than patient care, and I would not recommend this office
