As at least one or two have said, I'm hesitant to leave this review.... I can't say enough about the great care I've received from Dr. Murasko and all his staff here at Crossings. I've been a patient of Dr. Murasko's for 13yrs now and Dr Murasko and his team have been nothing but exemplary the whole time I've been coming here. Dr. Murasko and his team have gone above and beyond in my experience. No frills, just honest opinions from a caring professional. Can't express how fortunate I feel to have stumbled across Crossings and the whole team here. I actually look forward to my dental appointments now! Thank you all at Crossing's! Y'all are so awesome!! The one star reviews from people must be mistaking this office with another. The one star reviews must be reviewing the wrong business because the staff here have never treated myself or anyone I know who goes here like the claims made. read more

Definitely the best interest I have been to in a long time very nice staff and the dentist was extremely polite and nice, friendly, gentle as well. Did my teeth cleaning that day took x-rays had no problems at all. I have a very small mouth and tend to have problems at other dentists, but they were really good and worked with me. Will definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you to this wonderful Dentist and his staff. read more

See all

All around great experience. Short wait, knowledgeable and friendly staff, Dr Murasko embodies what all dentists should have - professionalism, skill and ethics. Rare find that a bunch of unnecessary treatments weren't pushed upon me. Best dental practice I've been to. Highly recommend. read more

I've been going here a very long time, knew him before his new state of the art location...I still fly in from Maine foR check-ups....I HATE TO LEAVE THIS REVIEW BUT FOR THE SAKE OF TRANSPARENCY I MUST DO SO. Need a dentist, have a dentist...This is The Dentist. I absoloutely love this guy and the staff he has assembled around him (Tina!). I consider the time I have spent there over the years a most relaxing experience, from crowns and cavities to regular check-ups I have always known I was in good and caring hands. I appreciate the connection we have and how he and the staff have taken care of my boys and late father over the years as well. Thanks - you guys are the best! Bad Experiences in the Past, Don't Like to Go, Just not a Dental Friend - Crossings Dental is the place you want to go. Take care of your grill, it's a worthwhile investment - start flossing now and get yourself an electric tootbrush if you can...and go to Crossings Dental....it's the best advice I can give your teeth. read more

After 15 years as patients at Crossings Dental, my daughter and I recently moved--and saying goodbye to Dr. Murasko and his team has been surprisingly emotional. This isn't just a dental office. It's a place where professionalism, kindness, and top-notch care come together seamlessly. Dr. Murasko has small hands (a huge plus when you're in the chair!) and a big heart. He's incredibly skilled, honest about treatment options, and never once tried to upsell us on anything unnecessary. His care is always thoughtful, gentle, and efficient. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. The entire staff--from the front desk to the hygienists--has always been friendly, clear in their communication, and remarkably well-organized. They made scheduling, reminders, insurance questions, and follow-up care effortless. The office itself is modern, super clean, and has a really upbeat, classy vibe that actually makes going to the dentist something to look forward to (I know--crazy, right?). Crossings Dental will always hold a special place in our hearts. If you're lucky enough to live nearby and are looking for a dentist you can trust for the long haul, this is the place. Thank you all for 15 amazing years of care! read more

Crossings Dental is a very professional and friendly place. Today I made an appointment in the morning for discomfort from a broken crown and they were able to see me at 3 PM and remove the old crown which was causing discomfort on my tongue. Wonderful dentist and assistants. I highly recommend Crossing Dental. Patrick O'Leary read more

3 bad molars (old root canals) pulled today. Once again, Dr. Murasko did perfectly. Nicest dentist ever; when I am in his chair, my dentist anxiety is gone. After being numbed (and I am a hard case), I felt no pain. He explains everything and must be one of the nicest humans in the world! I have been going to him for 10 years. His staff is very nice, too! You are also able to use your headphones while they work on you. read more

Dr Murrasko encompasses the highest levels of competency and kindness.Tina and all staff provide white glove customer service. Dr Murrasko fills the office with kindness as he works diligently to insure excellence. read more

Called on Crossings Dental for emergency assistance, and they truly exceeded my expectations. I received same day service and exceptional care from Dr. Marusko and Dina. The staff and services here are above average, I will continue to utilize them and recommend them to anyone who is seeking "professionalism" from you Dental provider. I couldn't be happier with the services received! read more

This review is long overdue. I found Crossings Dental 5 years ago when I walked in for a second opinion. I had an estimate of $2k in dental work from La Costa Dentistry in which the dentist there basically told me my teeth were rotten - I needed deep cleaning, I had periodontal disease, I needed a root canal ... and all this fabricated bologne which I all fell for... So that day when I arrived at Crossing Dental ... I sat in that chair nervous to meet Dr Murasko because I was expecting him to give me the same opinion and take my $$ ... He retook my xrays and told me my teeth were fine and tried to send me on my way. I refused to leave and didnt believe him ... because throughout my life I was made to believe my teeth sucked and was always given periodic deep cleanings. Dr Murasko looked me in the eye and told me he would LOVE to take my money ... but my teeth were healthy. And BAM ! From that day on we built a relationship based on trust. My whole family goes to see him now. If you want an ethical dentist - he the man ! ... And you will love the friendly staff they have there ! read more

Crossings Dental - I promised I wasn't being creepy... but here is a pic of Dr Murasko :) - General Dentistry Near Me - Vista, California

Best Dentist in have ever Seen. Doesn't try to upsell you on unecessary procedures. Very homest and always answers his phone. read more

I have been to many dental practices over the years, and this one stands out as one of the best I've been to and plan to stay! Started here back in 2012 as a referral from my husband who has been here even longer. I can always appreciate their professional customer service and efficient process of checking you in to dealing with my insurance and billings. It seems that many dental practices can have issues in this area, and have never experienced it here. If an issue does ever arise, I know that I can count on them to remedy the situation. The staff here are alert to your visit and keeping you comfortable. Dr. Murasko is kind and communicates his concerns to any of your dental issues with care and appreciate his approach to alternatives. I had a small front tooth chip earlier this year and rather then doing the most expensive procedure, he offered a more budget friendly solution that has been holding up well since I had it done over 6 months ago now. Tina at the front desk is such a wonderful and caring person! She has been here years now and takes care of checking you in and dealing with your insurance and billings. The other staff there in the front are professional and seem happy to work there and support a positive experience. read more

Dr. Murasko is the best dentist. he is patient kind and understanding. for my years after a horrific dental experience I have been afraid of going to the dentist...not anymore Dr. Murasko and his staff have made going to the dentist easy and I am no longer afrai. read more

I have had nothing but good experiences w/ Dr. Murasko and his office. I have had really bad experiences w/ prior offices; one culminated in a settled law suit, so I would expect the next dentist to be wary of me, but Dr. Murasko introduced himself as "Hi, I'm Mike!" (I'm in my 60's, he's not) which felt so refreshing and unpretentious. His care has been tremendous. His staff is great, and his office manager hugs me. I recently had an appliance created by him to stop sleep apnea. We're still figuring out if it works, but he has been having me back in to the office for several follow ups to make sure it fits correctly. This is so much better than the CPAP machine. If anyone didn't have a good experience with this office, it was a one-off...things happen. He's worth your time. read more

Dr. Murasko and his staff care about people. Their quality of care is outstanding, but their care of their patients as individuals is far above anything we ever expected from a dentist. Because we know he's always honest, thorough, and never recommending unnecessary treatments, we have been coming to Dr. Murasko for over 10 years and are so grateful for him, Tina, Mackenzie and their whole wonderful staff. read more

I have had such a good experience with Crossings dental, that I felt compelled to write this review, which is not something that I do. Great staff, facility and Dentist. Yesterday, I had a tooth pulled and another repaired and the level of care I received was simply phenomenal. The whole process was centered around my semi-anxious concern. And, they do not try and jack up the treatment plans. Very conservative management style. Strongest possible recommendation. read more

Do not recommend this place they did more work than necessary. I was supposed to get 1 crown on another tooth. Needed a cavity because i needed a crown on another removed, then crown. Instead, they grinded down tooth that needed a crown, leaving my tooth with the cavity in pain...other things things were done bone grafting which wasn't necessary when my tooth couldn't be saved had work done at another dentist so do yourself a favor take the time and look at reviews customers don't post unless it's true read more

Exceptional Dental competency and customer service. It is a rare combination that consistently exceeds my family's expectations. Dr Murasko is is highly skilled and empathetic. Tina ensures that all patient needs are met courteously and expeditiously. I highly recommend this rare exceptional dental environment. Subsequently I chipped a tooth and called in at 10 AM was seen at 2:30 and due to the exceptional competency of Dr. Mirasko Was iout by three with a repaired tooth. The competency professionalism and empathy of this Dentist is unsurpassed. read more

I recently moved to Oceanside which required us to find a new dental office. Initially everything was good, staff and the new crown went well. Then the billing issues started with being charged for services not billed to my dental insurance carrier which has been great for years. They billed me separately for additional charges. I contacted Metlife which advised they were using expired and invalid ADA codes. One code was to pay for the gauze and other supplies, one for laser which was not required hence not billed to my insurance. I tried to give them time to rectify the poor billing practices. Now I have an issue with the new crown requiring a new dentist. Take note of my issues if you use this dental office. read more

This is an EXCELLENT Dentist and staff. I had a very bad experience with a horrible Dentist office where I live in Carmel Valley. My girlfriend recommended the Crossings and Dr. M, I was hesitant since it's about 25 minutes from me - but I was so turned off by the bad experience I had at the dentist office in Carmel valley (check out my other reviews if you want to know who to stay away from) that I was willing to make the trek. I am very glad I did. The Dentist is very personable, professional, and his staff is friendly and helpful. Dr. M is also good at what he does. I've had many dentists struggle getting to my back teeth, smash my lips with their hands, over medicate me - and Dr M was the opposite. He explains things in a way that makes sense, and he gets you in and out nice and read more

I would recommend this dentist to anyone who has teeth! I am so grateful that I found this dentist office. FINALLY an honest, gentle, courteous and kind dentist! Go here and you'll feel like family. Wish I had found him 10 years ago. My mom and my neighbor recommended him and I will recommend him to everyone I know. read more

Dr. Mike fixed my failing composite/veneer on my 2 front teeth. I'm very stoked that with my Delta "Plan;not insurance" covered the majority of the cost to let me smile again! Go see Mike , he's the guy you need for all things teeth, ;maybe cut down on the "Go-fast" tee hee read more

We have been going to Dr. Murasko for over 5 years. I can not imagine a dentist or office being any better. Every single person that we have interacted with were extremely friendly, kind and efficient. Dr. Murasko does not look to up charge or over sell you. I feel that he cares about us as people first. Tina and Bree in the front office are truly concerned for our needs and accommodating. The quality of the care from everyone makes me feel confident in the care I receive. read more

Dr. Murasko has been my dentist for almost two years. I go for the normal teeth cleaning, and thats about it. However, recently I spoke to Dr. Murasko about about how I hate to smile because of a discolored front tooth from a root canal. He immediately showed concern and wanted to give me my smile back. After we went over my options I opted for the internal bleaching. My tooth was very stubborn but Dr. Murasko never gave up and I'm happy to say that for the first time in many years I smiled for pictures this last weekend. Dr. Murasko is by far the best dentist I have ever had and his staff is amazing. I would recommend him in a heart beat. He not only gave me my smile back, but gave me back self confidence I had lost because of my tooth. read more

Thank God for Yelp! I found this Dentist, Dr. Morosco, based on excellent Yelp reviews. The picture on Yelp reminded me of Captain Americas red faced foe, but I'm so glad that didn't deter me. Dr. Morosco is the rare perfect Dentist who is young enough to know the latest and has new equipment, yet is experienced enough to know what is OK to watch and what needs to be fixed. The best thing is that he is honest. After hearing that I needed two crowns, at $450 each, from another Dentist, I went to Crossings for a second opinion. Dr. Morosco told me that, while I would probably need such work in the future, it wasn't needed yet. It might be 10 years before I need work done. He spent a considerable amount of time explaining and showing the x-rays and pictures to me. All of my Engineer minded questions were answered. For only $20 too. I'm ditching the other Dentist. read more

Dr. Murasko is the BOMB!! I have been seeing Dr. Murasko for about 5 years now and he is the best dentist I have had in my 44 years walking this earth. He has all the latest dental technology and I can tell he cares about his patients with the way he has treated me. He jokes that I am going to "put him out of business" since I never need actual work done on my teeth, just the regular cleanings and x-rays, as I do brush regularly, etc. But he never suggests any unwarranted procedures, and clearly shows you what is going on in your mouth, which thankfully is not much in my case. I've referred my wife and friends to him and they come back with the same glowing review that speaks to my experience with Dr. Murasko. His staff is very friendly as well and I never dread going to his office, as some might with other dentists, in fact I enjoy it. Thank you Dr. Murasko!! read more

I used to live in Vista, moved to Los Angeles 5 years ago. I've been to many many dentists over the years, and I still come back to Dr. Mike. Yes, I drive all the way from Los Angeles to Vista to come to this dentist. He's been my dentist now for over 7 years, because he's simply the best. His work is outstanding. He never price gouges, does the best work at a reasonable price, never recommends stuff you don't need, always so polite and thoughtful, gentle, careful. Even my extreme scardy cat hubby was at ease here. Truly great staff, amazing cleanings, state of the art office in every way. Most highly recommend. read more

To say that Dr. Murasko is awesome is an understatement. Let's talk first about his office - his staff is nearly as amazing as he is. His assistants are incredible, personable people that seriously care about your well-being. All of them put a singular emphasis on making you feel comfortable, welcome and respected - this isn't simply a job for them, they all show incredible compassion (let's be real, it usually hurts when you're at a dentist!) and consideration, making you feel as comfortable as possible. Tina, the receptionist that's in the office most of the time, is incredible. She cares, deeply, about everyone's well-being and will go far out of her way to make sure you're happy and comfortable. My first experience at Crossings Dental included an insane double root canal (long story) which was causing me unbearable pain. Not only was Tina amazingly friendly and helpful, she helped me get the lowest cost (I didn't have any insurance at the time) and the fastest and best treatment I could ask for - within just a day, she had me on a chair with Dr. Murasko, fixing problems that were causing me ungodly amounts of pain. This, of course, brings me straight to the doctor, among the greatest dentists I've ever met (and, unfortunately, I've met quite a few!). Ignoring that he's kind, friendly and cares deeply about his patients, Dr. Murasko goes well out of his way to make sure that you're as comfortable as possible and provides the best treatments I've ever experienced. Every experience I've had with him has been informative, comfortable and beyond effective. The doctor is also happy to explain what he's doing, and why he's doing it, which is incredibly soothing to scientific-minded people like myself. I know that nobody really enjoys going to see their dentist, but every time I see Dr. Murasko, there's no dread, no fear, and an extreme confidence that whatever needs to be done, he'll do better than anybody else. Short Version: Dr. Murasko is beyond amazing. If you're looking for a dentist (or if yours sucks, which is probably true), I seriously recommend giving Crossings Dental a call - be it big or small, they'll do everything in their power to make sure you're welcome and well-treated. read more

I came here awhile ago for a cleaning because it is conveniently located so close to my home. They told me that I needed to have a root canal done because of a cavity that wouldn't be possible to fill. I went to Ocean Ranch dentistry for a second opinion and the dentist there agreed and said I had a cavity, but also filled it with no problem. It's almost about a year later and I have no problems with the filling or that tooth. I also saved about $12,000 because I didn't get a completely "necessary" root canal. read more

At the beginning of the year, I went to Dr Murasko and when i left, my bite was hitting very high. I told him and he said to give it a couple of days to see if i got used to it. It really felt "off". The next day, my upper tooth above the crown totally cracked in half ( up the root). needless to say I did NOT want to go back to him. I had to have the tooth extracted and now the horrible cost of a bridge. The other thing i did not like with Dr Murasko is he kept calling me "hon" and "sweetie" like i was my 95 y/o grandmother. I found that very condescending. read more

Needed to find a new dentist and was told to give Dr. Murasko at Crossing Dental a try. I did and was not disappointed he is very honest and kind!!! His receptionist Tina is great to work and so is the whole staff. If you need a dentist please give Crossing Dental a try!!! read more

Dr. Murasko and his people are very good at what they do, very kind, very good with kids, great with awareness of patient pain/discomfort, and excellent at explaining what is going on with the patient's oral health and why. Dr. Murasko is not a detached medical professional, though he is certainly up to date on the best thinking in his field. He is even knowledgeable in other fields too, both medical and non-medical. I cannot recommend him and his office highly enough. read more

After years of being ripped off and receiving bad services at San Marcos Dental Group, this was a real treat. Dr. Murasko is very understanding and straightforward. I feel like I can trust him. read more

My husband has been seeing Dr. Murasko for several years; we were referred by his wonderful oral surgeon, Dr. Shelhamer. My husband is probably the worst dental patient ever. He has actual bitten one before. Yes, I said it. He is a 6'3", 300 pound baby when it comes to dealing with his mouth. Sadly, in 2009 he went to a unqualified dentist in L.A. to get a front tooth implant that went horribly wrong when the implant post they used was the wrong size, and they actually closed their doors shortly after, leaving my husband with no recourse and a gaping hole in the front of his mouth. The first time we met Dr. M, I knew he was in good hands. Although my husband was his usual brash self, instead of being scared away, Dr. M knew how to talk to him to settle his fears. It took a little over 6 months and many many visits, but my husband and Dr. M could now be best of friends, and he actually looks forward to his visits. As many others have said, he is very clear that a proper tooth and gum hygiene regime is what is going to save you in the long run. No matter how much repair work he does, if you don't brush and floss and maintain regular cleanings, it is all for not. We are just weeks away from my husbands "happy day" when he will be no longer without a front tooth after 4 years of embarrassment, procedures and thousands of dollars. I can't wait to see his smile again, and we owe that to Crossings Dental. Mike is a consummate professional and wants to make sure you are 100% satisfied and getting what you pay for. As a side note, Tina at the front desk and Helen who does the billing are an exact reflection on Dr. M's practice. Professional and friendly. I have actually recently moved to Dr. M from my dentist whom I had been with for 10 years and recommended a crown I don't even need. read more

Reception is friendly and helpful. Cleaning is the most gentlest I've had. The doctor is very helpful and knowledgable. Unlike others I've seen, he isn't "crown happy". I've had the best results over the past three years. read more

When was the last time YOUR dentist called you after a procedure to check in and see how you were doing? It had never happened to me (with the exception of Dr. Hulse, who just happened to be the guy who recommended Dr. Murasko to me in the first place). This office is fun, friendly and a great place to go, especially for someone like me who is a total baby when it comes to dental work. I have been to dozens of Dentists in my years and Dr. Murasko is my favorite. read more

I'm just checking in with you yelpers to let you know that 2 years down the road Dr. Murasko and his staff continue to be the best. I have never been happier at a Dentist office. They take great care of us, we have had no insurance hassles. They have a great system for appointment reminders. Tina sends me email statements once a year, I'm trying to go paperless so I love this. We have had less problems because they are just on the maintenance routine and they don't try to sell you services you don't need. They are outstanding. read more

This review is months late because every time I started to write it, I didn't feel that my writing does Dr. Murasko justice. He is quite simply one of the most honorable people I've ever met. I saw Dr. Murasko years ago and due to a job change could not see him for two years. After feeling as though I was buying a car at "Carlsbad Dental Associates" and suffering through two other incompetent offices, I was fortunate enough to be able to go back to Dr. Murasko. He and his staff are like a breath of fresh air. I cannot say enough about my experience with Dr. Murasko. He actually gives me faith that some people really do get "it". read more

Went to Dr Murasko for a second opinion. He is not in my network of dentists but I trust his opinion an have seen him before. The other dentist wanted to do a crown, root canal, crown lengthening etc. Dr. M took some X-rays and determined that only a large filling was needed not all the other stuff the other dentist wanted to do. Had the work done with Dr M...tooth feels great. Dr M only does what is absolutely necessary - the other guys want to do everything your plan covers and more whether u need it or not! read more

Top to bottom this place is incredible! Tina at the front desk is thorough and totally organized - friendly smiles too! Dr. Murasko and Mac were so awesome in taking care of me- a very compassionate and caring dental team. He completely made me feel comfortable getting my dental procedures & took his time because of my anxiety with the procedures. A+++ dental work!!! Huge thanks & appreciation to Dr. Murasko & staff :) read more
