My children have never needed a lot of work done so this was difficult. BRSH +FLSS made the process as smooth as possible.

Insurance didn't kick in yet for my son so I paid out of pocket. I don't believe they were expensive. Overall, I'm very happy because you can tell they truly care about the kids.

I Brought all three of my kids in and they absolutely loved their dental visit. They are constantly asking me if they can go see the dentist again, which makes me happy because I was terrified of the dentist as a child, and even as an adult. My kids even received little cards in the mail with stickers which they adored...I especially want to thank Valerie for holding my hand through everything. Thank you.

I have had the complete perfect experience from start to finish! I was completely overly amazed on how polite and empathetic the staff and dental hygienists were to me and my 5 yr old son. 1. The office was very nice and had little arcade games in the waiting room to entertain the little ones. 2. Loved the seasonal decor, felt like a warm welcome into a kindergarten class room, very nicely designed for children to make them feel safe and secure. 3. Every single person we interacted with was so helpful and actually more than willing to answer questions I had and answered questions I didn't know to ask. 4. The staff is experienced really knows how to talk and interact with children to make them comfortable and fun! Yes!! Fun!! 5. Their prices are fair and reasonable, as I had no dental insurance or dental plan so I had to pay out of pocket. 6. They REALLY, HONESTLY do not try to do more work than actually needed, then over bill you for it. They actually SAVED me money and heartache!! (Read on below). My son broke off a part of his molar, after the x-rays they said had one cavity and needed a stainless steel crown and pulpotomy for the broken tooth. I was scared and worried. I research and investigated everything about crowns and alternatives, turns out, crowns are the best option, but still felt the need to discuss to the doctor about saving his tooth and doing a filling. The hygienists gave me affirmation that Dr. Whitcomb always does what is best and is conservative by doing the least amount of work and only does what is absolutely needed. Still apprehensive, I at least had that trust walking out of the office. After my sons procedure they let me know they were able to save the broken molar and no steel crown or pulpotomy was needed just a good filling. I literally wanted to cry I was so happy, I hugged and thanked everyone. So that saved me $380 and most importantly my sons beautiful tooth!!! This was my sons first dentist experience and not once was he scared, he actually liked it a lot! I would recommend them to everyone young or mature and will continue to only go there from now on. Dr. Witcomb is a marvelous accredited Dentist and does wonderful work! Again, thank you for your service in the Military Dr. Witcomb! Thank you to all staff and Doctors at Children's Braces and Dentistry in La Mesa

They are pro's at upselling and pushing products/procedures as if it's the norm.... Do your research! The staff are not up to speed on the procedures, and will tell you one thing while the dentist does something completely different behind closed doors with no parent consultation or approval. Very unprofessional, I will never take my child here again and will never recommend this practice to anyone that cares about their child. Seriously reconsider exposing your child to this practice!

For the past 18 years I've been bringing my kids to Poiset & Associates Orthodontics. Located in San Diego near Children's Hospital, they offer comprehensive orthodontic care for all ages, alongside pediatric dentistry, with a focus on gentle, specialized treatment for children, teens, and adults, including those with special needs. Doctor Shay Brannan is amazing! The entire staff is friendly and extremely caring. They are so nice and personable and helpful in so many ways. The facility is clean, vibrant and aesthetically appealing to kids of all ages. I can't say enough good things about this dentistry!

REPLIED: Thank you…read morefor your response. I understand that your office has a 24-hour cancellation policy, and I appreciate that alternative appointment times were offered. However, my concern was never about the policy itself only in the beginning. It was about how I was treated during both calls. I felt pressured when trying to reschedule, and when I raised concerns about the receptionist's tone, those concerns were dismissed rather than addressed. Additionally, during my conversation with the manager, Kim, I was repeatedly talked over, not given the opportunity to fully explain my concerns, and the call was ultimately ended while I was still trying to speak. That experience was particularly frustrating and unprofessional. The situation escalated when I was told we were "not a good fit" and denied service after expressing those concerns, which was especially upsetting given that my child was ill at the time. Clear and respectful communication is essential, especially when working with families and young children. I hope this feedback is taken constructively to improve future patient interactions.

We were referred to Dr. Jean Chan by our lactation consultant for our 5-month-old son to be…read moreevaluated for a tongue and lip tie. From the very beginning, Dr. Chan was incredibly thorough. She explained the process in a way that made it easy to understand, walked us through what recovery would look like, and made sure we felt completely comfortable with the post-procedure exercises. She emphasized that the decision was 100% ours to make, based on her expert recommendations, and we never felt pressured. When she took him back for the frenectomy, we were nervous -- but when she returned, he wasn't even crying. In fact, he looked instantly relieved, which gave us so much peace of mind. The precision of the laser she used clearly made a difference, and thanks to her guidance and our consistency with the stretches, his recovery went really smoothly. The entire office was warm and welcoming. The nurses were sweet, and the space is decorated in such a fun, kid-friendly way. A week after his procedure, when we came in for a follow-up, Dr. Chan even took a photo of him in his cute little outfit to share on her office's social media. That small gesture made the experience feel even more personal and thoughtful. Highly recommend Dr. Chan to any parent looking for a provider who is both professional and compassionate. We felt seen, supported, and most importantly, our baby is doing so much better now.

I absolutely trust these guys with my kids. (This review should have been written a long time ago,…read moremy apologies!) They also are the most affordable that I have found. I searched and researched over 10 facilities/recommendations for my daughter's braces. I have only one income, and did not want to get stuck with a credit card bill. We had a free initial consultation, and everyone, ALL of the staff were friendly and courteous. I made a down payment, and then would pay for the remaining balance monthly, with option to pay more if I could afford. All in all, I paid just a little over $3k. The consultation was thorough, and the treatment was explained in detail so that both me and my daughter knew exactly what would happen and when. The dentist is very personable and has a great rapport with the kids. The receptionists, always professional. I never had any trouble getting anyone on the phone if I needed help in the 2 1/2 years we went. The only thing I didn't really like was that only the patient is allowed in the back, not any other parents or siblings, etc. But, I understand as there is limited space, and there was never a problem where they needed to call me in anyway. (Keep in mind this was pre-Covid, so it makes more sense presently.) If your child needs braces, they make it as pain free as possible. I will be coming here again soon when my youngest needs braces. They also do regular dentistry on different set days; but we only had the orthodontic treatments. The free street parking is sufficient, we always found a spot nearby. And, when we were done with our visits, we often walked the 2 blocks over to Krakatoa Cafe, Pizza Luigis, and Dark Horse Coffee for some tasty food and drink. My kids always loved driving down the crazy steep hill to the 5 south to go home, begging me to go faster and fly down...yikes! Crazy, but also fun (:
