She doesn't find unnecessary things to do to get money nor are her fees high when you have to pay 20 percent or whatever isn't covered by your insurance plan. Very honest business! I highly recommend Dr Tran!

If I could give New Leaf Dentistry 5,000,000 stars... I would. I don't even live in San Diego, yet…read moreI schedule all my flights to come here and have my teeth cleaned. IT'S THAT GOOD. Here are the TOP REASONS why I really, really love Dr. Tran: 1. She's super sweet, which is great, but she's incredibly professional as well. Combine these two thing together, and you have a fantastic dentist. These words coming from someone that generally hates dentists. 2. Having my teeth done here is EASY. My appointments are always on time. They always end within the timeframe they gave me (if not earlier). When I feel like someone respects my time, I am in love. 3. Communication is great. Whether it's talking about what's happening at your appointment, or it's over email. Expect to be in the know. 4. It's PAINLESS. I recently had a crown done and it was .. the easiest thing. Dr. Tran was incredibly sensitive to any pain I might be feeling but often times I was asking "Should this hurt? It doesn't". I had the easiest experience getting a crown and everything I expected to have happen (see #3) .. happened. Wow, right? 5. Follow up. After my crown Dr Tran checked in several times to make sure I was doing well. HOW NICE RIGHT? If this woman ain't touching your teeth, you're doing something wrong. I love this place. And I'll continue to try to schedule my SD flights every six months so I can get my teeth cleaned etc. THANKS DR TRAN for being awesome! PS you get to wear cool protective eyewear when you're having your teeth done. Best time to take a selfie.

I recommend seeing Dr Vane for your dental needs. I was in the dental field for 18 years and my…read moreregret is not finding a Holistic dentist sooner. Some places claim they're holistic, but don't have the full training and still recommend things not holistic. I had a situation that could have been prevented by seeing Dr Vane. I had an amalgam filling switched to a composite filling in 2017. It hurt me ever since. They weren't able to remedy the issue and a crown was recommended. The crown didn't solve the issue so then a root canal was recommended. I had not 1, but 3 different times where a dentist negligently worked on me causing me pain and thousands of dollars. In the long run, had I seen Dr vane, she could have corrected the original problem (the filling) and I never would have needed a root canal. Which if you haven't watched The Root Cause, I recommend looking it up on YouTube. Long story short, I had to get my root canal tooth extracted as the endodontist perforated my root. Now I need a $5k implant for my missing tooth. Dr Vane is so great at connecting all the dots to what could be going on our health and how it's connected to our mouth. She also found a nasal polyp which I never knew I had and was good info in trying to solve why I get sinus headaches. Check her out!

I was a loyal patient of Dr. James Snow for over 20 years. During that time, I always found him to…read morebe pleasant and personable, which is why writing this review is so disappointing. Unfortunately, my recent experience has completely changed my opinion of his practice. The temporary tooth (flipper) made for tooth #22 was poorly made, uncomfortable, and did not fit correctly. Rather than standing behind the work and making it right, Dr. Snow failed to take responsibility for correcting the problem. After more than two decades as his patient, I expected much better. What concerns me even more is the billing practices in his office. His office manager, who also handles insurance matters, provided me with an estimate that I believed was excessive. Instead of accepting it, I contacted my insurance company directly. To my surprise, my insurance carrier confirmed that my actual financial responsibility was approximately half of what I had been quoted by the office. After verifying the information directly with my insurance company, I was left with the conclusion that I had been quoted an amount that was far higher than what I actually owed. In my opinion, this reflected dishonest billing practices. Trust is essential in any healthcare relationship, and once I realized I was being asked to pay nearly twice my actual responsibility, that trust was completely destroyed. After more than 20 years as a loyal patient, I never expected to leave feeling that I had to question both the quality of the dental work and the integrity of the billing process. It is especially disappointing that Dr. Snow did not step in to address either issue. Whether he was aware of the billing practices or chose not to intervene, the responsibility ultimately rests with the practice he owns. I can no longer recommend Dr. James Snow's office. My experience with the poor-quality dental work, the lack of accountability, and what I believe to be dishonest billing practices has permanently ended a relationship that lasted more than two decades.
