I called to make an appointment as a new patient two weeks ago, was told I will receive some forms to complete before the appointment. Two days before the appointment, I still haven't received the forms, so I called the dental office to inform them about the situation. The same lady who arranged my appointment told me my appointment is canceled and the forms wasn't mailed. I was surprised that I didn't get notified beforehand. When I asked how we should proceed then, should we arrange another appointment, the lady simply said "well, I don't have any other time available." It is okay if they can simply tell me they don't accept new patient or accept me as their patient, but scheduled a time and cancel afterward with no notification, that doesn't seem to be a good business practice. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Bloch for 5+ years now, I have been very pleased, not a single problem. He is polite, knowledgeable, has a good bedside manner, and answers questions thoroughly without rushing. His staff show great respect for him and visa versa. I switched to another dentist for a short time due to an insurance change and found out how honest and caring he really is, he saved me from a dire situation with another dentist who pushed fillings and root canals. Needless to say I happily switched back. He makes you feel like you are important and that he cares because I believe he truly does care. read more

Before scheduling an appointment I asked if they still accepted Delta Dental, which the receptionist should have responded NO. Instead of saying no, she said that I will pay upfront then be reimbursed by my insurance. Well insurance did not reimburse me since they aren't accepted. The cleaning was good and he was honest about my dental concerns. read more

Care and dental procedures were adequate, but the yelling and swearing were completely unprofessional.

Still 5 stars customer service! I've been going to this clinic for over a decade. The staff are very friendly, professional, and have amazing work ethic. Facility and work stations are always clean. I always see staff wiping down equipment prior and after use. Staff are trustworthy. The work is never rushed and they really take their time. Thankfully, they also accept my insurance plan because I find myself getting a lot of work done due to my teeth grinding. Their receptionist, Silvia takes her job seriously and I can tell she takes pride in her work. I enjoy the conversations I have with her and I appreciate that she is very meticulous and prompt. Dr. Bloch is amazing as always and very personable. I always look forward to chatting it up with him. He has literally seen me grow up for over a decade and I appreciate all the advise he has given me throughout the years. I also love that they are timely and meet your scheduled appt. They send your reminders via text and email. You hardly have to wait long in the waiting room. Overall, staff are wonderful and hardworking, the location is convenient and has parking, the clinic is clean and inviting, the costs for dental work are reasonable, and most of all I find them trustworthy. Can't complain. read more

Dr Bloch is OK but his staff makes random policy changes and then bills outrageous amounts when you don't get notified, and therefore don't comply with them. I was his patient for 23 years until I was accused of, and billed $150, for supposedly standing up an appointment when i called 24 hours in advance (to change my appointment) and was told the policy changed to 48 hours. The $150 bill stated iI didn't call 24 hours (not 48) in advance 3 times but when I asked for when I had ever done this before (and insisting for that info over a very rude office clerk talking over me) I was finally told they could only find one time 18 years ago. I highly doubt I ever did this, but they seem comfortable making things up as they go with no real records of anything to back any of it up. I guess times are tough for them, go figure... It makes me wonder what else they feel comfortable with making up. read more

Jeffrey A. Bloch, DDS - fictional accusation to extract money from me with no evidence of this ever happening - General Dentistry Near Me - San Diego, California

What a great dental team. We were on time, they were on time. The receptionist, Silvia, was expecting us (unlike a lot of doctors where they want a full run down of your personal information, as if they didn't have it). Silvia was welcoming, informed about our insurance, and efficient. My hygienist was SUPER. Brittany asked what I was sensitive to and cleaned my teeth beautifully, even working extra on coffee stain Dr. Bloch is so good. He gave me a through exam. Answered my questions practically and gave several options for keeping my teeth clean and healthy. I am very grateful for his commitment to practical solutions. read more

Dr. Bloch and his office are great. I've been going for about 12 years, and I really appreciate the entire team. He explains what's going on and tells you what is necessary and what is not. He was a teacher at Loma Linda so you know he's effective. Anesthesia is important and they don't rush it. They note that I am slower on one place and they prepare for that. This is not a rush-in and rush out place! He's available at all hours for emergency calls, and thankfully I've never needed that. read more

Dr Bloch and his entire team are fantastic. From the receptionist to Dr. Bloch, they are friendly, make you feel at home, and listen to you. In addition, they are highly professional, knowledgeable and try to accommodate special requests for appointment changes. In brief, my family and I are very happy with the overall services provided by Dr. Bloch and his team. read more

Dr. Bloch and his staff are absolutely amazing. They take the best care of me and gave me something to really smile about. The office is very clean and they are all very vigilent about screening for Covid. I cannot give more than 5 stars, but if I could, it would be at least 10. Thank you again. read more

I've been with Dr. Bloch for several years. I greatly appreciate his manner and his office is run quite well. I've never had any issues with him or his work and I've had root canals, caps, cavities, and numerous cleanings. He takes interest in his patients and makes himself available almost ANY time. I've recommended several to his practice and all have been completely satisfied. My mother-in-law comes from Arizona just to see him. Dr. Bloch's office makes sure you can make an appointment with reminders and I really appreciate this. One more thing... he noticed when I first went there that I was grinding and chipping my teeth. This was due to bad orthodontics as I had needed and not got braces when I was younger. He recommended and excellent orthodontist who fixed my alignment issues. Getting to the root of this problem has greatly impacted my dental and overall health! read more

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Bloch for years, and are always happy to refer our friends and neighbors. He is not only a great dentist but a nice person to talk to. He is that dentist that will put things on watch, not try to ever do more work than necessary on your teeth. I find his rates reasonable. I even choose to go out of network to use his services. read more

Dr Bloch is the a top of the line dentist and human being. After years of searching for a dentist I felt comfortable with I finally found one and have been going to him for years. He is reasonable and direct, and he speaks honestly to his patients with their best interest in mind. His staff is nice too! Karen, Shoko, Alicia a couple others I can't recall their names. On the side note he's a motivation individual and has a lot of good advice! I would recommend Dr Bloch to anyone. read more

Dr. Bloch has been our family dentist for 16 years. Of all the dentists we have seen in our lifetime he is the best! Professional, prompt, courteous, caring, and pain free. read more

After many years of searching for an honest AND excellent dentist, we are elated to have found Dr. Bloch for our family of 5. He and all of his staff are wonderful, and the practice feels more like a family than a workplace. We highly recommend Dr. Bloch. read more

Dr. Bloch and his entire staff are top notch! Pleasant, helpful, practical, trustworthy, great with my kids and myself. I've been seeing them for over a decade and won't even consider another office. Absolutely love them! read more

Everyone in this office is friendly and efficient. Dr. Bloch always gives me a thorough exam, and the hygienist who cleaned my teeth this time, Karen, did a great job without causing me any pain. Coming here makes going to the dentist a pleasure! read more

Jeff Bloch actually makes me WANT to visit the dentist! He's smart, honest, knows his stuff, and takes great strides to make oral health care painless. I recommend him to everyone I know. read more

Best dentist I've ever had. Always been scared and went when last minute. Now I come before things get bad and try to get ahead. I never hurt in Dr. Bloch's hands. Shot doesn't hurt and almost fall asleep during procedures. Great dentist and will recommend to everyone! read more

He's a great dentist and he's got nice staff. Also the new dentist at the location is nice too. They do great work and they are honest. read more

Even though we moved from the area a year ago, it is worth the drive to experience quality, expedient and affordable dental care. Dr. Bloch and his staff are the best. Thanks! read more

I have trusted Jeff Bloch and his staff with my oral health for the past nine years, and always found them to be AMAZING! My entire family, and about a dozen friends, go to him for everything from cleanings to crowns and everything in-between. They bend over backwards to treat people well, and never try to sell you anything you don't need. I don't know what Christina's issue was - perhaps they handle things differently in Texas. Whatever your concern, you'll find the team at Bloch Dental to be professional, friendly, nice, and concerned. Most importantly, Dr. Bloch always gives his patients his personal cell phone number and encourages them to call him directly with any questions or concerns. Do yourself a favor and make Jeff Bloch your dentist. This guy is the real deal! read more

I called to reschedule my appt the day before. The receptionist changed my dental appt and said nothing more. I then received a bill for $150 for not giving 48 hours notice. I called and asked why I was billed. I was told that I had signed a form each year saying they had the option of billing for last minute cancellations. I told the gal that she had not said on the phone that I would be charged and that I felt like she had taken my choice away from me to decide whether I should keep my appt since they intended to charge me so much to make a change. $150 is alot of money and I honestly would have kept the appt rather than be charged. But I was not given the choice. When I asked to have Dr Bloch call me about it, I received a return call from someone in the office stating that he did not have time to call and that I needed to pay it. If I wasn't happy, I could change dentists. Unfair practices. read more

I've been going to Dr Bloch for 7 years. Dr Bloch is very thorough and knowledgeable. He does excellent work and his prices are comparable to others. He really understands the anatomy and can diagnose issues that aren't necessarily teeth related. I thought I had TMJ but after Dr Bloch examined my jaw, said it wasn't TMJ it was muscular. He gave me a course of treatment to get relief. Wish I'd told him 2 months ago! Thank you, Dr Bloch! read more

Just tried to book a cleaning/checkup visit with this office. I felt a bit chastised over not coming in a for a while. They were unwilling to work with my time schedule. Working people work during the day, no after hours or weekends. Felt super uncomfortable. Time for a new doc. Bad CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

Despite having wonderful service with my crown work, I haven't had a good experience getting the money owed to me after leaving the area. I gave my forwarding address to Veronica in December 2011. After not receiving a check in January, I called to make sure my information was correct. Both my phone number and address was verified. I waited until February and called again, hoping to speak directly with Dr. Bloch but was routed to Veronica who assured me that Dr. Bloch was "reviewing the paperwork." My only option at this point is taking the matter to small claims court. Thank you Dr. Bloch and Veronica! I received the check. read more

There are many dentists in San Diego. I have been to a few. Dr. Bloch and his team are top notch, efficient and the best I have found living in San Diego for a long time. Dr. Bloch is caring and efficient and conservative in his approach to working with his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Bloch and his team as the best dentist to go to for dental care. read more

I am new to San Diego and had a tooth blow up on me the day I moved here. I quickly just picked someone in my area that took my insurance. Boy am I glad I picked Dr Bloch! He is wonderful at taking his time, making sure you understand what's going on with your teeth and and the options you have to handle it. He did everything he could to save two of my teeth and it worked! Most dentist would have just pulled them. He is fantastic and I highly recommend him and everyone I've dealt with on his staff. I did recommend Dr Bloch to a lady I had met in a mom group, and she couldn't be happier! If you need a dentist, please go here, you wont regret it. read more

We went to this dentist as a referral from another patient. We had several types of work needing to be done. We had a consultation on future work for about 15 minutes and all seemed to go well (for which we were charged $100). Dr. Bloch stated, "For me, I am not like the fancy dentists in San Diego as I care about my patients and not billing them high prices for unneeded procedures." This sounded good to us, so we agreed to start using Dr. Bloch as a dentist. As our dental plans did not go into effect until May 1, we had to reschedule our appointment. The day before our rescheduled appointment for our work, the doctor's office assistant called and stated, "We are cancelling your appointment for tomorrow as Dr. Bloch does not want you as new patients." Apparently, because our insurance was not in effect until May 1 this caused a problem but we are ten days after May 1. And for Dr. Bloch to tell us that all is about patient care when in reality all is about money. He is another one of these "money obsessed" dentists who could care less about patient care and only about services and charges. I agree they are a business but one that lacks empathy for patients. And his office assistant, is rude and uncaring and has no empathy for dental patients. I would avoid this dentist at all costs. There are thousands of dentists in San Diego and this one is one to avoid. Even if you talk to the office about your procedures, you are going to be charged for the dentist's time (bills like an attorney by the minute). Find a dentist that cares about patients but Dr. Bloch does not for sure!!!!!! read more

Love Dr. Bloch. Been seeing him since I moved to San Diego ten years ago. I had seen a horrible dentist in college and got a terrible filling. He understands that I am leary of dentists and I have always had great experience. His staff is wonderful as well... love my dentist. read more

Been going to Dr. Bloch for several years now after a bad experience at another dentist that cost me a root canal because they were all out at a conference when a temp crown was botched. Dr. Bloch, on the other hand, gave me his cell number to contact him with any dental issues after hours. He reinforced that when I waited to Monday to tell him about a tooth ache and told me I should have called him on the weekend eventhough it turned out to be nothing. I like information and he explains everything with no concern for the time it takes. He did an implant for my teenage daughter which was flawlessly executed. He does not do more dental work than is absolutely required. Clearly he's a master of his craft and cares about his patients. read more

Having been a patient of Dr Bloch's for several years, I can say he is a very honest and ethical practitioner. He is more committed to patient care than to the almighty dollar. His staff is helpful and knowledgeable about their business. They use the latest technology but do not neglect the bedside manner that is lacking so much these days. Every cleaning I've had with them is done well. Every question I've had about their procedures has been explained to my satisfaction. On a side note, Dr Bloch is the only dentist I've ever heard of that will take emergency calls personally. If you have a problem off hours or on the weekend, he will likely take care of you himself. While I've never had to use that service, it's great to know it's there if I need it. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Bloch for only a bit over six months. So far, Dr. Bloch and his team are the best dentists I have ever had! Dr. Bloch is a conservative dentist with indisputable integrity. He will not do unnecessary work, but is very flexible and prone to personalize treatment depending on the patient's history and x-rays / cavity progression. He has the steadiest hands with many years of experience. Two cavities that I had were filled briskly (but with much care) and painlessly. There was not even the usual pain and sensitivity after the anesthetics wore off. I strongly recommend Dr. Bloch and his team as your dental health provider. His office is enrolled in several insurance programs, and the insurance will cover most of the expenses. read more

Dr. Bloch is by far the number one best dentist I have ever been to! I was having a problem with my back wisdom tooth and food getting caught in between the molar and the wisdom tooth. I went to two other dentist before coming to Dr. Bloch. One told me that I had an infection and the tooth needed to be pulled and the other one told me that I had to get all four of my wisdom teeth pulled because I had gingivitis. Neither of those diagnoses were correct! When Dr. Bloch saw me for the first time he simply said all we have to do is put a filling in between them and that will prevent the food from going in between my teeth and making my gums sore. At that time I was 60 years old with receding gum lines which is normal and Dr. block fixed my problem with ease and turned out to be a very small problem and not a major problem! Also, with my insurance co-pay $10 it only ended up costing me $30 out-of-pocket when the other dentists wanted thousands of dollars!! They were simply taking advantage of me which is easy at my age but thank God for Dr. Bloch! If you do your homework you will find that he is by far the least expensive dentist in San Diego. Every time I meet someone that needs a good dentist I give them a great dentist Dr. Jeffrey Bloch He is not only kind professional understanding .... He is an EXTRAORDINARY and EXCELLENT Dentist! read more

I've been through many dentists and rarely do you meet one as honest and qualified as Dr. Bloch. I've known him for many years and will keep going there as long as he owns that practice. read more

GREAT service! Ok, seriously who likes to go to the dentist?? cricket.. cricket... I am extremely paranoid of the dentist, and I searched long and hard for a dentist that is first, HONEST, second, CARING, and third, PERSONABLE. This dentist office has all three and more. The ladies in the office are amazing, and so caring and the dentists are awesome! I fear the dentist like the plague and I can honestly say that I do not mind going here for any procedure. I feel no pain, they are so funny and have such amazing bed-side manners that its almost unbelievable. My daughter is worse than me, and she is so ok with going to the dentist now. I cant put it in words how important it is to feel comfortable with your dentist. I have been scared for my life at other places, but this place is so clean, and so comfortable its so worth coming here. If you are afraid of the dentist, give them a try, Im sure you will be coming back. Last, they give you their personal numbers if you ever have problems in the middle of the night, or weekends. So family oriented. Thank you Dr's Bloch & Scarfe! read more

Dr. Bloch is the best and most honest dentist I have ever had. He advised me to avoid doing some treatment which another dentist tried to pressure me to do. Hygienist Susan in his office does a thorough job. She spends around 40 mins with me every time. I trust his care and feel at ease at his office. read more

Dr. Bloch saved one of my back teeth which is highly compromised. He drilled out decay under a crown and filled it, saving me a lot of pain, suffering, and money. He is the best dentist I have ever had. read more

Avoid this dentist! He is rude and has a bad temper. His knowledge is excellent, but his personality is off and has a mental problem. He tried to put a needle in my gums. before the novacaine(topical) took. I told him to wait...he got pissed, told me to get out, and used the F word! Very Unprofessional. After I left, in 1 Min. the novocaine took! He didn't have the patience to wait 1 Min! He is sick in the head. Probably hates his job. Not a nice man! Not even 1 star! I suspect many of these posts are fake. read more

I can't say enough about Dr. Bloch as well as his staff. Here is why 1. Integrity - it's all about what is best for you. No unnecessary add-ons just to bring in extra money. 2. He takes the time to talk with you - your dental plans are a collaborative effort. He thoroughly explains everything. 3. Well educated and very skilled. 4. Great, relaxed atmosphere. If you are frightened of dentists, this is definitely the place for you. 5. He will work with you if you have no insurance. 6. State of the art equipment. If you have been hesitating going to the dentist, because of fear, trust or no insurance, do yourself a favor and call Dr. Bloch. Your teeth are so important to your overall health. Do it now. read more
