Dr. Katz Rappaport and her staff are always going the extra mile with their check ups, communication, and overall dental work that I've had done with this office. I've been going to this office for a few years off and on and there is no comparison, they are top notch. Highly recommend! Thank you! read more

Erela Katz Rappaport, DMD - Dental front office - General Dentistry Near Me - Poway, California

I found Dentist Rappaport in 2018 as a dentist covered under my Dental insurance plan. Most treatments were 90-100% covered. On 5/17/21, I went to Dr. Rappaport for cleaning and dental work (bridge removal). During the middle of the dental procedure, all numb with the old bridge removed, the front desk billing secretary walks into the treatment room and tells me I had to pay for the entire treatment out of pocket today. Secretary said my dental Insurance took too long to answer the phone on Friday 5/14/21 and then placed her staff on hold for about 2hours, and they ended up not finding out what was covered for the 5/17/21 treatment. Secretary said, since insurance didn't answer they could not determine what part my dental insurance would be covered. While in the treatment chair, all numb I called my dental insurance, they immediately answered, there was no wait time, and they did not place me in hold. While I was on the phone with the insurance, the Billing dental secretary walked out of the room. I asked my dental Plan to inform me how much coverage today's visit would cost. Note: this call should of been done by the dental billing secretary. My dental plan told me Dr. Rapaport is "out of network" as of January 1, 2020. And that Dr. Rappaport dropped my insurance, and said the dentist office should of informed me of that change. I asked the dental secretary why would they proceed with treatment without informing me their office did not accept with Insurance any longer. All she said was, I'm sorry I was not here on 5/14/21, I was out on medical leave. Due to lack of information from the billing dental department, I had to leave the dental office with unfinished work, and on top of that I had to pay the full amount out of pocket. Now I find myself with incomplete dental work. I feel their office just took me in knowing they are getting paid somehow, without caring if it was out of my pocket or wherever. I now have to find an in network dentist that can complete the unfinished dental work Dentist Rappaport started. What's worst, the temporary crown Dentist Rappaport placed are sharp in more than one area, and have been hurting my mouth. read more

Extremely capable but questionable revenue motivated procedure recommendations. I moved to San Diego two years ago from Minneapolis, where I had been seeing a dentist every 6 months for 15 years - same clinic / multiple DDS doctors. Haven't had a cavity in over 20 years. My first visit resulted in 11 cavities and one crown - over $1500 out of pocket. The work was great, but wondered why my MN dentist missed them? 6 months later, I went for a routine cleaning. Now, 4 cavities and some additional crown work recommended. Another $1000+ quoted out of pocket. I decided to go see another dentist with a 5 star Yelp rating. No cavities. No crown issues. My wife and 13 year old daughter had similar issues with Dr. Rappaport - multiple cavities and other work. New dentist found everything fine. We believe she was recommending procedures that were not necessary, which we're told is quite common here in SD. Very happy with new dentist! read more

I hate it when you call a doctor or dentist office and ask how much it will cost with or without insurance. You usually just get the runaround. Not here! I called and Christina got my insurance information, went online to the insurance company and found what my coverage was, and told me the contracted price and my portion. That was my first wow. I got an appointment in only two days from my call. That was the second wow. The hygienist, Michele, was the gentlest I've ever experienced, and with over 60 years experience of going to dentists, I have to say, she was the best. That was the third wows. When the doctor came in to review the xrays and recommended treatment, she didn't try to sell me on the most expensive treatment, but instead, with some very old silver fillings cracking in my back molars, she said we should try to remove an re-fill them if the decay wasn't too bad. When I pressed her as to why we wouldn't just grind them down can crown them, she told me that the natural tooth with a filling will last longer that a crown. That was the final wow as to why I just found my new dentist. read more

I found Dr. Rappaport through my insurance and I have to say that I am truly patting myself on the back for finding her. I don't personally see her because I am in the military, however my husband does and he is truly terrified of the dentist but her and her team Ritchell are truly angels. They made my husbnad feel 100% comfortable and they truly involved us in the education of the care and treatment that my husband is going to go through. I can't say enough how truly wonderful they are and it was only the first appointment. They weren't upset or lecturing my husband for not seeing a dentist in quite some time (7+ years) but they are really easing him into the process again. Everything is great from Doctor to the front desk Kristen she is the nicest and she even sits you down ad goes over a detailed plan about upcoming visits, payments, etc. She even called me back and told me about ways to cut cost for whatever my insurance didn't cover because her and the detal hygenist were dicussing our options. (YES, they even thought about my husband when we walked out the door) That is one in a million, i don't feel like a number and I know my husband doens't feel like that either. Do I recomment this Doctor office? Without hesitation! read more

I've been going to Dr.Rappaport for around 14 years now and she and her team are wonderful! She has always taken such great care of my teeth. Everyone in the office is so nice and always does a thorough job! If it wasn't for her recommending me to get braces and veneers, I would have continued to live with stained and damaged teeth. She also does the best job with putting in veneers! No one can tell they are veneers and compliment on how beautiful they look! She is the #1 dentist in my book, I recommend her to everyone! I wouldn't want to go to anyone else! read more

I've been going to Dr Rappaport for a few years now and I've had a great experience with her and her staff. All of my procedures have gone well and they've caught cavities early on so they can do little fillings rather than a root canal. Highly recommend them. Also, floss read more

The follow up....including a phone call and an email, was truly appreciated, too. In other words, besides being very professional and qualified, they all cared about my experience. read more

Let me begin by saying that I spent an entire summer visiting her office every Monday for about 3hrs at a time. Every time I left, my pain got worse and my teeth worsened. I've never experienced so much discomfort and pain in my life. Erela is a very money driven and cold woman, she does not give off a very personable or caring atmosphere and seems to lack sympathy if you have less than perfect teeth. I spent all my dental insurance at her office and despite me saying I can no longer afford their services, she just kept telling me how that's not an excuse and I NEED to have everything fixed NOW (seriously made me feel like it was a life or death situation). I have since found a new dentist but her office still calls and texts me multiple times a week asking if I can come in. Her staff is kind but Erela only cares about the paycheck at the end of the day. Please, if you are searching for a kind and passionate dentist, do not go to this dentist. read more

Moved here from Chicago 5 years ago. My first employer of 27 years did not have a dental plan, and unfortunately, I went for dental care only when in pain. Now I'm over 70 and need competent and highly professional assistance. Fortunately, I've found a dental practice I feel confident and comfortable going to. The entire staff provides great care and is helping me through a complex implant plan. So glad to have Dr. Rappaport and her team on my side! read more

Dr. Rappaport is a superb dentist, a highly competent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania dental school who has improved my smile, my life, and confidence socially and in my medical profession. At two different times in she improved my smile, Porcelain veneers 15 years after bonding and results are spectacular. Also Dr. Rappaport made molds for bleaching to maintain whiteness. Although this may sound extraordinary, I fly from the East Coast to San Diego once a year to see Dr. Rappaport. She is worth it. read more

Well deserved review....I have to say i am very impressed with the way i was taken care of at this establishment. I was in and out with a beautiful crown (same day) i was able to watch get made on the cerec machine. I have received fillings and a cleaning and have nothing but the top notch things to say with how i was handled. The front desk receptionist was very informative to my insurance and coverage and was able to move my schedule around to unexpected changes in my daily routine. Everyone there has bent over backwards to make my stay there smooth, Very informative and very knowledgable. I highly HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for a dentist in the area to give this awesome place a try. Thank you DR Katz and staff for caring about what you do. It makes all the difference! read more

There are no words for how much I love Dr. Rappaport and all of her staff. I've been going to her office for over 10 years and I plan on staying with her forever. I've had a less the great history with dentists and I'm by far not the best patient. But, Dr. Rappaport is patient with us lax brushers and prodigal flossers. I highly recommend her practice to anyone looking for a dentist in Poway. read more

I have been going to Dr. Rappaport for 14 years now and loved every moment of it. Everyone in her office is both friendly and thorough. Each time I sit in the chair, I know they are going to give me the best treatment around, AND they are going to honestly tell me when I need to work on brushing here or flossing there or even when an occasional cavity starts to creep in. Not only is the care EXCELLENT, but they are friendly to. Although I only wander in once every 4-6 months, the conversations always pick up right where they left off like I was never away. Sometimes I am surprised when I am done because the atmosphere is so relaxing. I highly recommend her office to anyone looking for quality dental care! read more

I do not write many reviews because like most people I'm crazy busy, but when a business blows my socks off with their thoroughness, honesty and professionalism I have to put my two cents out there! My family of four have been seeing Dr Rappaport for over 15 years and I LOVE that I can go to the dentist with confidence. YES confidence! Years ago I fell in love with Dr Rappaport when I inquired about replacing my ugly metal (amalgam) fillings located in my back molars, with the more attractive white porcelain fillings (yes I confess that is a bit vain right... but MANY Dentists/business people would welcome the work and money right? so win win?) Wrong! Turns out that it is not in the patients best interest to perform unnecessary work. It affects the integrity of the tooth each time work is done. Not a good thing for those teeth that we really want to remain healthy and in our mouths for the long hall! So over the past 15 years.... as those old ugly fillings have shown signs of disrepair Dr Rappaport has beautifully and comfortably replaced them. What a concept! Work performed exceptionally well but only when necessitated! I totally trust Dr. Rappaport! Her office has the latest technology, she is a perfectionist and has the "chair-side" manner to not only educate you on your dental care and needs, but to also put you at ease! FIVE STAR Dentist! Can I give her SIX? read more

Dr. Rappaport has been my dentist since I moved to San Diego 6 years ago. She's been such a wonderful dentist for me. And I love Rochelle who always is so friendly and very caring about the fact that I have very sensitive teeth. She uses a cleaning method that doesn't hurt my teeth, which I really appreciate because I know it takes more effort from her. Even though I don't live anywhere near Poway, I don't mind making the drive. Definitely worth it for such great care. read more

She is also very informative and helpful with her personalized cleaning recommendations. I highly recommend this office! read more
