I had such a wonderful experience at Point Loma Family Dentistry. From the moment I walked in, I…read morefelt so welcome. The staff is incredibly friendly and very detail-oriented--they walked me through every step of what they were doing, which made me feel comfortable and well cared for. You can truly tell they genuinely care about their patients. As a new patient, I called this morning with a concern I was having, and they were able to get me in right away, which I really appreciated. I already have my first cleaning scheduled for Thursday, and I'm actually looking forward to coming back. Dr. Paulerio is very knowledgeable and took the time to share helpful information about mouthguards for TMJ, which made me feel confident in the care I'm receiving. I'm very happy I chose Point Loma Family Dentistry and feel fortunate to have such a great dental office so close to my home.

Doc Paulerio has been my dentist since 2003, I used to be the patient who was nervous because of the poor patient care. After a visit with Doc Paulerio for an extraction.

To Dr. Ryan and Team:…read more I cannot express my gratitude enough to each of you individually, so I'll try here. At the end of 2025 when I was having a dental emergency, Abbey did everything in her power to get me in right away (I called very late in the afternoon and was seen first thing the next morning) and even though I had to go to a endodontist and eventually come back to your office the same day, you made sure I was seen before your office closed for the holidays. Not only did you ensure I was seen, but Dr. Ryan performed a tooth extraction on the same day. Did I have to wait a bit? Yes. But that is absolutely normal and okay! His office had a full day of patients and the fact that Dr. Ryan somehow made time to see me twice in a day AND perform the tooth extraction is simply going above and beyond. I started the process last week for an implant. I was in extreme pain over the weekend and chose to wait to reach out to Dr. Ryan's office until Monday morning and not bother him over the weekend (although they do have a number for emergencies for after-hours - I simply chose not to bother him) and by Monday afternoon, I was in his office getting X-rays. Turns out I have an infection - Dr. Ryan ensured that I was prescribed the appropriate medications right away and I was able to pick them up within the hour of him sending the prescriptions to my pharmacy. Admittedly, I'm really shocked by some of these negative reviews. Abbey, who is at the front desk, is one of the most compassionate, kind-hearted human beings I've ever met. She has always treated me with kindness and respect. If I don't understand a billing matter, she sits down with me to explain it. Dr. Ryan is nothing short of an absolute gem. He genuinely cares about his patients. Dr. Ryan's staff are incredible. Each one of them is amazing. Every time a friend asks for a dental referral, it's always Dr. Ryan I send them to because you simply won't find a better dentist and staff anywhere in San Diego. Thank you again, Dr. Ryan, Abbey, and Team for everything you do for me and all your patients. You're so appreciated!

Amy is always rude, rushes me, and has an awful attitude especially in comparison to such a compassionate doctor. Maybe he's the good cop she's the bad cop? I changed jobs a few times and she always has an issue updating my insurance, I believe because she is lazy or otherwise unwilling to update my stuff which she probably doesn't have to do with other patients often. Today I had an appointment at 8:45 but she had it written for 8:30 in her books. This became apparent when she called me at 8:31 while I was leaving my house and left a voicemail saying my appointment was right now (8:30) and that she tried calling before but had my number down wrong and so it seemed disconnected yesterday when she phoned. Keep this in mind as this is already one instance of her writing information down wrong. My number has been the same since I was 16. I would consider her next point, that My appointment was at 8:30 not 8:45 another mistake on her part as I made the appointment in my calendar 6 months ago on the spot as I told her what time I would be available (at the end of my last appointment). Now rather than rush over for nothing, if my appointment was at 8:30, I called back and said I had it at 8:45 and was on my way is that not the case? she said yes it was 8:45 (over the phone) so I kept going and let her know I live very close by. I didn't arrive till 8:55, traffic plus I stopped to call her to confirm I should even come since she moved the appointment up 15 mins, that's my fault and I should of continued going even as I confirmed, but as I walk in she says "name?" I say my name and she's says my appointment was 30 mins ago and starts to get up. I said I'm sorry is i'm not 8:55? am I not 10 mins late? She said well no it's 9oclock your appointment was 8:30. I said im sorry it's 8:55. My appointment was 8:45. She then said no it's was 8:30 I just said that on the phone (why would you just say that?) then I said i'm sorry i've had this in my calendar since 6 months ago it's always been 8:45 I picked the time. Then she showed me her book where she wrote 8:30 but remember she has already admitted to copying information down wrong when she left a voicemail saying she thought my phone was disconnected. At this point I am just wanting to see the doctor I don't want to deal with this lady at all, so while she's throwing attitude saying I was mistaken and she'll just have to make time for me anyway and gesturing for me to come on back with her and rolling her eyes as I hesitate I let her know I'll find a new dentist and turned to walk out. She's insisting the entire time it's suddenly fine, not a problem, come on back, etc. but I've had it there's nothing she can say to excuse the way she was acting. If it was so "fine" "no problem" and "just come on back it'll just take a minute" then why lie about the timing, berate me with attitude and talking down to me about being late. It's actually no problem to find someone who enjoys their job and doesn't infect everyone around them with their awful outlook and approach so I continued on my way. I told her I hope you have a great day while I left. Going to miss Dr. Spera, the coolest surfer dentist out there.

He Re-cemented the crown and it literally can off 2 hours after she left the office. The front office was so disorganized and unprofessional they never provided a treatment plan, telling her the 2 crowns would be $700 a piece. She went to the Endodontist he recommended and had the root canal. Dr Becker's office called a few days prior to her appointment to get the 2 crowns and the lady told her FYI you'll be $2000 out of pocket. She kept pressing my wife say I have 6 other patients trying to get in do you want to keep your appointment. We said $2000 is not the amount we discussed can Dr. Becker do a build up on the root canaled tooth to protect it until we can find a different dentist. They called back the next day a said no he wouldn't do it and the temporary filling will last. 2 days later the temp filling started to fail. Long story short we got a second opinion and the new dentist put the old crown on no problem and said it should last a life time and he also did the build up on the root canal no problem. He also said the tooth Dr Becker sent her out for a root canal didn't even meed a root canal Last this I had an exam X-rays and a cleaning with this guy at the same time and he said I have 6 cavities and need a crown and deep cleanings. Then gave me a treatment plan for $1200. My dad is a dentist in another state and has Taught us how to spot a rip-off artist and this guy should be ashamed. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAM!!!

But I wanted to write this review as their office went above and beyond again when my front crown implant (implanted by another office over a decade ago) came off suddenly as I was flossing one night. Their office staff did everything possible to try to work me in to get it taken care of that day, as they were not open for the next few days otherwise. Dr. Becker took great care of gluing my crown in again. Their office staff is incredibly knowledgeable about Aflac insurance and I don't have to worry about making the claims. My husband and my daughter and I have been very pleased with the dental care we have received here.
