I use to work in a dental office myself. If they offered it to me, I would have declined as I know it's not covered due to my age. But to charge for a service that wasn't performed is just wrong. If you choose to use this dental office be sure to ask for a complete breakdown of the services you received during that visit before leaving!

I went to Dr Mancheva for 2 years while I was in college. Every time I would go she would tell me I…read morehad several cavities. Seemed weird, on the count that I did not experience any pain, and I had good oral hygiene. I was sent to have 3 root canals under her care. I got a second opinion after she sent me out to receive a 4th root canal. My new dentist told me that it was a small cavity, no root canal needed. Dr. Mancheva knew that I was using my college scholarships to pay for any dental work I needed, and I really feel that she took advantage of that and unnecessarily filled my teeth as well as sent me to get root canals from a fellow dentist, of which I believe had to be in on her scheme as well. From my experience, not an honest dentist.

I have come here several times for copious dental work in the last two months. This is, BY FAR the…read morebest dentist I've seen...ever! From the front desk staff, to Eric, the dental assistant, to Marlene who did my deep cleaning, to Dr. Zeki, everyone I've encountered has been phenomenal. The entire staff is polite, kind, knowledgeable, and professional, and has taken great care of me. One of the things I love so much about the staff is all procedures and steps are clearly explained. They gladly answer questions and respect a brief stop during my care, if needed. I still have a few dental issues I need resolved and there is no other dentist I would choose other than Dr. Zeki. You cannot go wrong.

My children have only seen this doctor once. I am a single mom caring for 2 children, and…read moreunfortunately have to reschedule their appointments so I can ensure it goes around my work schedule and their school schedule. The front office staff said after this 3rd time the doctor will review if he wants to see my children as patients anymore. I would have honestly paid a cancellation fee instead of having to endure the way the front office staff spoke to me. Last I knew, medical professionals understand that patients have a life outside of visiting the dentist. While I understand cancellation can hurt scheduling, this is not a norm for me. I will not be going here anymore.

After being severely traumatized by my last Dentist I went here mainly because she takes medical…read moreand I knew I was overdue for a teeth cleaning. I normally went every 4 months. Medical only covers once a year which totally sucks. Anyway I was hoping I didn't have a nervous breakdown in the chair due to PTSD from the old creepy dentist. I held it together and she was very kind. First of all scheduling was easy. I got an appointment surprisingly fast every time. I have never had to wait more than a few minutes in the waiting room, but they do seat you and make you wait. I worked in the dental field for over 20 years which I never tell people. I want to see how they do things. My last visit they sat me and she was still scaling teeth which is the start of a cleaning. She did apologize for the wait which I was fine. (I hate when they don't acknowledge it). She used topical per my request. It is helpful if you have not been in awhile. She had a brand new ultrasonic cleaner, but most of her equipment is dated and need of repairs. Everything appeared sterilized correctly. The x-ray machine has a wandering arm making the assistants job difficult. So as a patient for 2 years I have not had ANY cavities which is shocking. I always have cavities. So I find it hard to believe she over diagnosed someone on their review. She is very thorough and gentle. Is she chatty? NO Is this state of the art? NO Is it a good dentist. YES And that is a hard thing to find on Medical.

My father is a dentist back in New Jersey, he graduated top ten in his class from NYU dental…read moreschool...point is I know next to nothing about dentistry so I had my father prescreen Dr. Tubbesing before I went to visit (unfortunately I couldn't fly back to New Jersey for the implication with Molars 13 and 14. Dr. Tubbesing is exceptionally knowledgable and is the first dentist I have ever visited aside from my father. In short, I am very happy I have found a dentist here in California I can trust and feel comfortable with. Also his staff is exceptionally comforting.

First, the map is wrong, though the address is correct. 233 A St. is between 2nd and 3rd on A,…read more*NOT* at the corner of Front and West A. Dr Tubbesing's office is on the seventh floor of the City Centre building -- you can google "City Centre San Diego" to see the location. I second Scott P's review in every respect: Dr. T. has a great staff, and cleans your teeth himself -- I think so that he will be completely familiar with your teeth. He was very alert to the tiniest details of my teeth, and commented on the dental work I had had before. He charges a fair price for very good, professional work, and is kind and affable to boot. His downtown location is convienient for those who have just moved into the ballpark area, or those who live in golden hill,hillcrest, south park, north park, etc. A good, honest dentist of the old school -- a rarity these days. He gets my highest recommendation.

He stopped and yelled back at me to "not be so vocal with him". I almost started to cry in the chair. I have never had a Doctor, a professional, yell at me beause I was in pain. I cried after leaving the office for quite some time. Even though I was experiencing pain later, I was so offended that I wouldn't call to get pain medication. Icalle my primary dr instead.

I've suffered from TMJ/TMD for most of my adult life to the point where neck, shoulder and back…read moretension, tension headaches, jaw pain and tooth sensitivity were an everyday occurrence. Over the years I sought care from acupuncturist, chiropractors, massage therapists, dentists and TMJ/TMD specialists. A variety of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions (IM injections of muscle relaxants, oral muscle relaxers, antidepressants, ECT treatments, exercise, meditation, mindfulness) only provided temporary relief. Additionally, I wore through THREE different "night guards." One of which was an "at-home DIY" guard and the last two were professionally cast by dentists. A year ago I visited a dentist who sent me off with a night guard and a prescription for antidepressants. I was so confused about the relevance of the medication and was not sure how they were related to the TMJ/TMD. In about two months, the night guard was warped and all of the associated symptoms of muscle tension and headaches returned. After searching for a TMJ/TMD specialist in San Diego I came across Dr Cook. The treatment plan was extensive, detailed and meticulous. Dr Cook didn't just cast a piece of plastic and send me on my way a week later. There was an initial consultation, fees discussed, a sleep study (because for the first time Dr Cook explained that the anatomy of my airway and my sleep quality contributed to the grinding/clenching), imaging, in-office electromyogram (to measure muscle contractions at rest and while clenched) and dental work to correct the bite so that an orthodic could be made. Dr Cook was the first dentist to tie together sleep quality, anatomy and pathology and actually EXPLAIN how they contribute to TMJ/TMD. The road to recovery was long and Dr Cook and her staff were professional, courteous and accommodating the entire time. She was so meticulous that she made adjustments down to the very millimeter- and for someone who'd tried everything to no avail for years, I was relieved by her level of dedication. Thank you Dr Cook, Dawn, Maria and all of the staff. Since having the orthodic my sleep has improved, my energy level during the day is better, I'm not wearing my teeth down and I feel so much better!

Unfortunately, after 12 years with Dr Cook I have switched dentists. The new office staff is…read moredifficult to work with, emailing incorrect appointment dates/times, inflexible with fees for family emergencies (first missed appointment in 12 years!), and staff is generally unfriendly. Office manager did not seem bothered to be losing patients. The new location isn't great, building is old and parking lot is very small with no turnaround. No issues with Dr Cook but lots of choices for great dentists in San Diego with professional office staff!
