My experence with DDS Chong was excellent. I had gone to another local dentist who wanted to put a crown on almost every one of my teeth.

I am looking forward to working with him for a long time. read more

I had some fillings done by another dentist a few months ago and it appears they did not do what they said they were going to do. I happened to be in encintas on a trip and my teeth started hurting so bad i went to the emergency room. The day after i was scrambling to find a dentist. No one would see me for a consultation. Enter dr chong and his staff. They are in the same plaza as everbowl the wife goes to and i found them online. I walked in and they showed LOTS of compassion and care and squeezed me into there schedule. I might of even took up a bit of there lunch. They took xrays , a exam and towards the end dr chong used a flossing technique which completly relieved all my pain. If you want a honest caring dentist, this is your place. read more

You don't have this issue with medical doctors saying, "if you don't do this medical procedure I'm recommending I won't treat you for anything else that you need or be your doctor any longer". Why is that treatment of patients acceptable for a dentist? One of the main issues was when they told me I needed a deep cleaning and I was going to have to pay more and have a bigger procedure; I asked if I could just have a regular cleaning and my fillings done. They absolutely adamantly refused to let me opt out of having a procedure I didn't want to have done. To me that is not okay to force someone to have a treatment or dental procedure that they are not wanting. The receptionist said they would not give me a regular cleaning or work on my fillings unless I had the deep cleaning first. I've been to dentists in other states that say a deep cleaning is only necessary for patients with gum disease and can actually cause problems for others especially if they are using medicine to treat the gums. To me it seems like dentists are using these deep cleanings to get extra money from your insurance because I have gone to someone else that said I didn't need one. ------------------ DO NOT GO HERE!!! They are scammers! Horrible customer service. They try to force and pressure you into unnecessary treatments for the money! I am not confused about insurance. I know full well that I did not require a deep cleaning of which you refused to fix my fillings OR give me a regular cleaning until the insurance responded which took MONTHS of waiting only to be denied and told you would NOT treat me unless I paid THOUSANDS of dollars for a deep cleaning!! read more

We have been going to Dr. Cheong for a long time. I love the kindness of his staff and the gentleness of the care they give. I really respect him as a dentist and feel his honesty. He is kind and patient. A big part of my respect comes from the fact that they are HONEST AND are not taking advantage of me financially. They work with me and explain everything so I understand. I highly recommended them to everyone I know. read more

I'll start by saying that I have an incredibly abnormal sensitivity to anything dental related. I had already put off the work that was supposed to be done well over a year ago at a different dental office... So this particular day I happened to be walking by Dr Chong's office and stopped to talk to receptionist briefly. She made me feel incredibly comfortable and very sincerely assured me they would take care of me and accommodate all special needs or requests. Dr. Chong's entire team did just that and due to my first very positive experience with everyone in the office, I will be initiating a comprehensive treatment plan. I would highly recommend that you drop in to see Dr. Carlos Chong to get a proposed treatment plan from a trustworthy source. Christian Brown Lazy Acres Nat. Market 150 Encinitas Blvd read more

Awsome experience ! Promt with appointment time, nice staff, Dr was very informative and receptionist was there to explain the insurance etc !!! read more

I had a very pleasant visit with Dr. Chong. I had gone to another dentist who told me that I needed a deep cleaning every 3 months and many fillings (that according to them, were not covered by my insurance). In the end, Dr. Chong did the cleaning, was honest, and told me that I only needed two fillings and surprise! they were covered by insurance. It was definitely worth getting a second opinion, plus he speaks Spanish, a plus if Spanish is your first language! The place is in a great location, the office is very clean and the staff was polite and friendly. I will definitely make him my family dentist. read more

I've had a few procedures done by Dr. Chong. He is great! He's very thorough and professional and does solid work. It went very well getting my old crown taken off and the new one put on. I will be coming back and highly recommend him. read more

I have been going to this dentist off for at least two years now. The staff is always very nice and helpful. The office and equipment is very clean. Dr. Chong is a great dentist and always very personable. read more

Long time retired Dental asst and office mgr. I really like this office. Everyone who works there is super helpful and nice. Love this office. Professional great work. read more

I don't like leaving bad reviews but this was just ridiculous. I will say the staff were very friendly. And the cleaning was good. But after xrays, they told me I had 9 cavities that needed to be filled, with 3 additional ones to watch. I was horrified. I've only had two cavities in my entire life. They weren't sympathetic about it at all. I felt like I was being given a lecture. I went and got a second opinion from another dentist. And guess how many that actually need filling...3. That's it. & I have a few teeth to watch. But that's ridiculous that Dr. Chong was willing to drill into 9 teeth! I understand that some dentists take a more conservative approach. But from 9 down to 3....that's a huge difference. read more

They are first class at this place! Kind, considerate, patient and thorough. CARLOS CHUNG IS AN OASIS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DENTIST WASTELANDS! This man is genuinely concerned about the best way to care for his patients. His dental hygienist was sweet and caring as well as calming. Let's face it sometimes the apprehension of getting your teeth worked on is not the most pleasant thought however, if there is such a thing as dental heaven this place is it. I would highly recommend this dentist and his office to everyone. Did I mention there pricing is fair and reasonable as well. Superb experience. Jerry O read more

Dr Chong is very professional with steady hands, very patient and accommodating, he works very smoothly. (of previous dentists i have to say he is the smoothest) when he recommends something is because he is very proactive and careful. I have been going there for years now and everyone in the staff has proven very professional and friendly. read more

Dr Chong and his staff are wonderful! Friendly, professional, current, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend using their care. read more

Good work and reasonable. Dentist and staff are all very nice, professional and personable. Great hours for people who work M-F 9-5 and can't take time off work for appointments. They're open a couple days during the week after 5 and some Saturdays. read more

I tried to make an appointment with this dentist through his receptionist, who was initially quite pleasant. I gave her my insurance information and she told me everything was set, my appointment was made for a month from now. Thirty minutes later she called me back and told me that I needed to bring in a blue and white card provided by my insurance company to 'prove' that I had insurance, after I had given her ALL the information necessary to confirm that I was insured. She was extremely inflexible when I told her that I did not have the card and that my insurance company had tried to send it to me, but for some reason, I have never received it. I understand that most dentists want to make money, but she became super rude and unhelpful when I told her I didn't have it. I would never consider going there even if I did get my card back. read more

I have been going to Chong for a few years and I have to say that he is the best dentist I have ever been to. Him and his team work efficiently with out taking a lot of time. I hope to stay at a patient for Chong as long as possible. read more

Wonderful staff! They are very welcoming. I come here every 6 months basis and am happy to say that I always leave with a smile on my face. :) read more

Great place. Amazing location near the beach. Fantastic staff and better prices than having to go to Mexico.

I have gone to Dr. Chong a few times for cleaning and he has also worked on a few of my cavities. I started going to Dr. Chong because the location is convenient (in the same shopping center as my work) and many of my co-workers and customers have also had positive experiences there. His prices are good and his office is professional and clean. read more

Yesterday I took my adult disabled daughter for the first time to Dr Chong for a routine exam and cleaning. From the receptionist to the dental assistant to Dr Chong himself, everyone was thorough, friendly and competent. They helped make my daughter and I feel relaxed and comfortable with no issues- only smiles. I will be continuing to take my daughter to Dr Chong's for her dental needs. read more

My two kids and I have been going to Dr. Chong for many years. I have dental insurance so I can't comment on costs, but we think he and his staff are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He will see patients on Saturdays which is a huge help if you have kids in school. His receptionist, Maggie, is a real sweetheart, they play good music (both American and Mexican), and they get you in and out in a timely manner. Fun fact - Dr. Chong is from Honduras and his grandfather was Chinese! read more

Nice staff, solid service at a fair price. Dr. Chong and his staff were both professional and friendly. I recieved full x rays, consult and cleaning for great deal. I lucked out and found Dr. Chong on Google and I'll be back in 6 months for my next check up sure... read more

Awesome dentist and staff! Everyone's very friendly. Took them up on the new patient deal here on yelp and have also taken my kids here. I recently needed a molar pulled and Dr.Chong took it out very smoothly. Dr.Chong actually has the steadiest hands I've ever had in my mouth. I would definitely recommend this dentist. read more

Been my dentists for 8 years. They are always good at getting me in whenever I've had an emergency. Everyone working there is very friendly.

I had three crowns replaced here in the last few months. The staff is friendly and follows up well. Dr. Chong is knowledgeable and very experienced. It was a very good experience overall. read more

The first time I went to this office, I knew I found my "dental home". The office staff and hygienist are top notch. They actually explain the treatment plan to you instead of trying to grab your credit card to talk you into procedures you don't need. Dr. Chong cleaned my teeth on the first visit and they actually looked like they had been cleaned! He did some bonding on my chipped teeth and they look great. He is very gentle and very quiet. I like that because I feel like he actually concentrates on WHAT HE IS DOING! and then does a good job. I highly recommend him and his great office staff! read more

Nothing fancy about this office but the staff is extremely kind and professional and Dr. Chong is very knowledgeable and gentle. Several members of my family are customers and have had various procedures, I myself have had cleanings and fillings at this office since 2010. I have recommended Dr. Chong to several friends and only had good reports. Also rates are very reasonable! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Chong! He could not be more professional and efficient. The very accommodating and professional staff make going to the dentist a pleasure .. who knew?!! read more

This guy is a crook--check his record with the CA State Dental Board. At my consult, he told me I needed a dozen fillings and multiple crowns, to the tune of thousands of dollars out of pocket. #1 his demeanor was sketchy and #2 I take very good care of my teeth. I knew something was wrong so I took the x-rays and had a second and third opinion. No dental work was necessary. NONE. I reported Chong to the CA Dental Board and the State brought charges against him for which judgement was found against him--license revocation pending compliance with fines, remedial training, and probation. He might be off probation now but he can never be trusted. TOTAL. CROOK. read more

I needed bonding on a couple of teeth. His office submitted a pre authorization request to my insurance co and it was denied. I appealed it, and it was approved. His staff called and tried to get the insurance co to deny coverage in order to charge me more, but they upheld the approval. Curiously, he no longer accepts Liberty Dental insurance. Thank goodness. We now have a dentist with the latest technology and he found two cavities and a crown leaking (undetected by Dr. Chong). Dr. Chong was educated and trained in Mexico and provides third world dental care. read more

I went as a new patient to see Dr. Chong. There was no wait, and I received my exam, cleaning, and x-rays quickly. The best part about the visit was they explained what my new dental insurance covers for me and didn't try to sell me any extra services. Very happy and will be going back! read more
