I was impressed with their individual care and concerns, along with their office manager. She clearly knew the ins/outs of our insurance and was able to navigate it without any problems or fuss. Nice! If you are looking for a knowledgeable and old style professional dentist who knows his stuff, look no further then Dr Pastore and his hygienist Ben.

The customer service is amazing -- everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and professional. A few times they've even remembered me when I came in, which made me feel really valued as a patient. The office is always super clean, organized, and very neat, which I really appreciate. It makes the whole experience feel comfortable and stress-free. My dental hygienist, Lauren, is amazing! She always does such a great job and is so kind -- I genuinely look forward to seeing her every visit. I also love that they play movies while you're waiting or during your cleaning -- it's such a nice touch and makes the time go by faster. Parking is right next to Starbucks, so there are only a few spots, but I've always been able to find parking without any problem. Overall, I highly recommend Menifee Lakes Dental Group for anyone looking for great care in a clean, friendly environment!

You can tell he truly cares about his work and his patients. His calm and friendly demeanor made a big difference in my overall experience. I really appreciate the level of care he provided!

Crazy long wait times when you have an appointment, getting charged for things that were not explained, and a general lack of communication. I am so glad I found Powers. I showed up 15 minutes early and they were ready and waiting for me. Even before I was taken back they explained to me exactly what was going to happen in the appointment and showed me the price. It was very clear what was covered by insurance and what was not. The part that was not covered I had the option to take off. That alone made me feel much more secure, especially coming from dentist offices, where I was constantly asking myself, am I getting scammed? The hygienist was very good at her job and the doctor was very clear in her communication and helpful. I have two wisdom teeth that still need to come out and even though they are not causing me any pain and getting them removed is not urgent, she still gave me a referral sheet where I could get all the information I need from the oral surgeons listed. All of the great communication, all of the great hospitality is going to be the reason why I going to be coming back to this dentist office.

Layana came out to take my X-rays, and she was laid-back, super friendly, and made me feel completely at ease. Then I met Annmarie, the dental hygienist, who was incredibly gentle but also very thorough. After that, I had my visit with Dr. Tran. He was extremely professional and took the time to explain everything clearly, which I really appreciated. I did end up needing some work done, and they were able to take care of it right then and there. Bre came back in to explain what needed to be done and walked me through the process, including setting up a payment plan. She was so helpful and made everything stress-free. My appointment ended up taking longer than expected, but Dr. Tran stayed after to make sure everything was done perfectly and that I was fully taken care of. That meant so much to me. Overall, I felt truly welcomed, cared for, and valued. Honestly, this was the best dental experience I've ever had. I'm so thankful I found this office and am genuinely excited to continue coming here.

I went to this dentist expecting a routine visit and left completely distraught. They told me I had…read morestage one periodontal disease with bone loss, that I needed two cavities filled, and required a deep cleaning. The total cost after insurance was over $2,700, with the deep cleaning alone costing $900 after insurance -- even though my insurance stated it should only be an $80 copay. I left that appointment anxious and unsure what to do, genuinely worried about my oral health. Thankfully, I decided to get a second opinion. I switched to a more local dentist, and after a full exam there, I was told I had no signs of bone loss, only one cavity, and did not need a deep cleaning at all. My teeth were healthy -- they only recommended a fluoride treatment and a regular cleaning. My total out-of-pocket cost? $128. This experience was completely egregious. To falsely diagnose gum disease -- something so serious -- just to justify inflated charges is unacceptable. No patient should be made to feel scared or taken advantage of for the sake of profit. I will absolutely not be returning and would strongly encourage others to get a second opinion before agreeing to any expensive procedures here.

Before I get into this review... I just want to state that I work in healthcare, and I also have a…read morehigh pain tolerance. I've been to this dentist twice. Once last year, and once today (it has been months since I typed this up). I have been looking for another dentist that takes my insurance but the few local ones I have called don't take my insurance, so I decided to give this place another shot. The reasons I didn't want to come back were because of the dentist and because this office would not stop calling me to make an appointment. To the point where it was not helpful or caring, but honestly just annoying. I kept telling them I will call and schedule. Then they would call me regarding my husband's appointments... and one time they even made him an appointment that he wasn't aware of. Anyway, none of that would keep me from going back... the problem to me is that the dentist seems to rush, is a bit aggressive (I have never told someone to stop the cleaning except her), and is kind of ... how should I say it politely ... insensitive. She was not only in quite a hurry while cleaning my teeth pretty aggressively and making rude comments when I would tell her to stop because she was hurting me, but she was also pretty rude towards her staff. Specially the new guy. I felt bad for him... but anyway this review has been in my drafts and I am finally posting my drafts because I am so tired of supporting businesses that do not deserve my support. Hope this helps someone.

I originally chose another local dental practice and went there as a new patient, but I just did appreciate how that practice was run. I decided to continue my search. That's when I Yelped and discovered Oak Valley Dental. I called and spoke with Yveth, who I could ascertain was representing how Dr. Romero-Shu runs his practice which shows through all his staff as well: friendly, personable, efficient, knowledgeable. My wife and two sons went before my scheduled appointment. My wife was equally impressed with Yveth and everyone she encountered during her visit. She really liked her hygienist ,Jay and his methodology when he cleaned her teeth. One of my sons also had Jay and like him as well. They all met briefly with Dr. Romero-Shu, who they all like and thought of as very friendly and efficient. During my visit, my hygienist was Caroline, who was also our other son's hygienist. I appreciated her explanation of every step of her initial teeth exam and cleaning as a new patient. I was especially appreciative of her explaining to me, (which has never, by any other dentist or hygienist), that due to certain med(s) I take daily, she was looking for signs of possible adverse side effects that may affect my gums. She also noted in my patient file for all of my future visits, the teeth that are a sensitive to probing. Again, she introduced me to something new: a temporary numbing paste she applied to the affected areas to decrease that "zing" I always got when the metal probe/pick hit those sweet spots on certain teeth. Wow, what a difference that paste makes! Thanks Caroline for sharing that with me! It really worked!!! Overall, if you live in this area,and are searching for a caring dental practice where they treat you with respect coupled with friendly staff who all care about your dental needs and being comfortable and pain free during your visit, you need to schedule an appointment with Oak Valley Dental.

The office itself is clean, fresh, and welcoming--not scary at all, which says a lot when you're bringing kids. I want to especially highlight Ms. Diana, because she was truly the reason I chose to come here in the first place. With no bias at all, I'm genuinely glad she told me about this office. From day one, she was informative, transparent, and incredibly reassuring. She made me feel comfortable before I even stepped through the door, and that initial trust carried through the entire experience. For the first time ever, my kids were comfortable enough to go to their own rooms without me. They were actually excited to be seen independently, which speaks volumes about the environment and staff. Viviana and Riley made the best first impression at check-in and during scheduling--friendly, polite, and genuinely welcoming. Dr. Mule was truly amazing. He was so informative and passionate that I almost felt bad he was standing while explaining everything about my teeth and my children's care--I wanted to offer him a seat! I work in healthcare myself, so it's not easy to impress me, especially when it comes to my family. Dr. Mule absolutely did. He oozes passion for his craft, made us feel extremely informed, and never rushed the visit. Ashley was wonderful with the kids while I was getting my screening done, and overall the entire experience felt comfortable and seamless. Ms. Diana was also very forthcoming when reviewing suggested procedures, and I never once felt pressured into rushed or unnecessary decisions--just informed and respected. I returned for a full deep cleaning on all four quadrants, and Mr. Ian exceeded my expectations. He was thorough, efficient, and explained everything he was doing while still allowing me to relax (and honestly enjoy the ASMR-like old-school plaque removal). Coming from someone who is not a fan of the dentist--due to past experiences, fear of needles, and loud noises--this says a lot. If you're looking for a dental office where you'll walk out feeling genuinely cared for, informed, and refreshed, I highly recommend Menifee Dental Group and Orthodontics. I'm happy to say I've finally found my dentist... only took 46 years
