    Esther H.

    Hi! I'm a model. My online portfolio is at www.esther.com. I'm writing this review for Dr. Cho's office because I have a dental appointment coming up. And do you know how I feel? Calm, relaxed, and looking forward to it! This dental office is not your average dental experience. First of all, when you walk into Dr's Cho's office, you're greeted by the ever beautiful, bright and vivacious Lorena (who looks like she's won "Miss Universe"). She is the office manager and runs the place with almost a militant accuracy, concise, and professional. Then you'll meet Yina who handles us patients with kindness and empathy. When you're feeling nervous about getting in "the chair" your fears are dashed away by Dr. Cho's assistant, Bemmy who comes to make you feel comfortable and heard. By the time you see Dr. Cho you are quite relaxed in his state of the art dental office, run by supportive and nurturing professional women. And Dr. Cho is a highly skilled and talented dentist. He is gentle yet effective. I also really appreciate how he takes the time to really listen and connect with you. Other dentists I've been to before just treat you like a number. My dental hygienist is Danielle and she is so good, so thorough. We often joke about our mutual OCD and I can tell she feels as good as I do after a good cleaning. I highly recommend Dr. Cho's office to anyone who needs to see a dentist but who is normally apprehensive about going. This is NOT your average dental office. They go above and beyond to make YOU feel relaxed, calm, and assured that empathetic professionals are on your side and will take care of you. Thanks Dr. Cho and team for my smile!

I had not been to a dentist since my husband was in the military quite a few years ago. I had a bad experience and after that vowed to never go back. I was frightened!! as a result, my dental health declined terribly, broken teeth at gum line etc. In 2024, my husband died, we were married for 54 years, he was a retired 20 year Army veteran. In my grief, I found a miracle , named Dr. Miner. On a whim, I went in to see him, to this day, I can't figure out where I got the courage from .He was a blessing!!

I called Dr. Miner's office on Monday afternoon and the doctor agreed to see me Tuesday morning for consultation and possible surgery. He was able to do the surgery and remove both teeth with the speed I comfort I never experience before. It was just "top, top and pull" and the tooth was gone. Wow, it was amazing and Dr. Miner is amazing and absolutely the best! Today, I'm still doing great, no pain and no bleeding! I think Dr. Miner is the best oral surgeon in the San Diego area. He is also supper nice and made me feel comfortable and safe before and during the procedure. I was very, very scared but he was able to calm me down and still performed the surgery without sedation. In fact, the whole team in doctor Miner's office is super nice and welcoming.

His whole life, we have had to have him under general anesthesia I'm rider to get any and all dental done: day, cleanings, fillings, etc.. because of his sensory issues and flight/fight fears. In the past year, McGrady has been the first and only dentist who has managed to do cleanings in her office, winning my son's trust with her patient, calm and non-condescending manner. Today, she managed to have two cavities filled, without general anesthesia, in her office --- and my son did wonderfully. They are true miracle workers and I'm forever grateful!!

I was having trouble getting my son to let me brush his teeth, or getting him to try himself. Dr McGrady was able to keep my son calm in the chair and remove the buildup on his molar. She gave me a lot of great advice that quickly led my son to becoming a willing & sometimes even happy participant in the brushing of his teeth 2 times a day! She also spent extra time sending me info on different toothpastes & ingredients that I was worried about due to him having bad reactions to a popular ingredient. We will definitely be returning here for my son's next appointment in 6 months!

As a new patient, I relied on the office to verify my insurance benefits and provide an estimate of my financial responsibility before treatment. I went for a routine regular teeth cleaning, which is 100% covered under preventive care (in and out of network). Afterward, I received an unexpected bill for a service I did not request or approve. The office manager, Beth, repeatedly insisted that the charge was a "copay." Preventive care has no copay, and even if it did, it would be a clearly defined amount like $50 or $100 --not a made-up charge or random dollar figure. When I asked for documentation that they had confirmed coverage with my insurance PRIOR to my visit, Beth said they were too busy and cited HIPAA as the reason they could not provide a recording. I did not request a recording; I simply asked for proof that the call had been made in advance, which they were unable to provide. All I received was a screenshot of call that was made to my insurance company on Feb 17, 2026, which is 3 months AFTER my visit and it was their attempt to get my insurance cover the unapproved charge that's not related to my regular cleaning. My insurance also confirmed they had no record of any call from the office prior to my visit. The office's explanations were inconsistent, initially claiming they had contacted my insurance, then later stating they don't have time to call every patient's insurance to confirm coverage. They also claimed they don't have access to the fee schedule because they are out of network, but my insurance confirmed that this information is available on their website and would have been provided if the office had actually called. The conversation grew increasingly agitated, with Beth repeatedly insisting she was too busy, and ultimately ended with her hanging up on me without any effort to find a constructive solution. I'm not sure why I should be penalized for their staffing or time constraints. As a patient, I have no way of knowing procedure codes or coverage details. That's the dentist office's responsibility to avoid issues like this one. In my 20+ years of seeing dentists or doctors across the U.S., I have never received an unauthorized or undisclosed healthcare bill. Transparency and informed consent are basic expectations in any business, and unfortunately, Mod Squad Dental failed to meet that simple standard. Based on this experience, I cannot trust this office and would not recommend them. It's clear from prior reviews that I am not the only patient facing this issue.

    Dr. Verma is the true dentist that every dentist is supposed to be, but is almost impossible to…read morefind nowadays. My dentist, whom I had trusted for years, retired, and my whole family became nomads. I finally gave up and went to a dentist recommended by one of my friends, only to be told that a tooth in the back was severely decayed and needed to be extracted. I panicked. "What about a root canal? I don't even have any pain!" He told me I didn't need that far-back tooth, with no explanation for why there was no pain. I left and looked for another dentist for a second opinion. I found Dr. Verma on Yelp. Her rating was great, and the reviews themselves felt genuine. Through my search, I learned how to read Yelp reviews about dentists: ignore reviews about how nice the office is or how friendly the staff is. I don't want a rude dentist, but a nice office? I'm not staying at a hotel. I also don't care about top-of-the-line machines -- dentists take out huge loans for those, and they tend to upsell unnecessary treatments. I'm also cautious about young dentists: they have loans to pay back, which often means higher quotes, and they don't yet have the long-term experience to see how their treatments hold up over time. I tried to find Dr. Verma's website, but she doesn't have one -- which suggested to me that she doesn't need one to attract patients. I was convinced she must be the one. She examined the tooth and told me it didn't need to be extracted yet. She even said she might be able to save it without a root canal. She was upfront that she couldn't guarantee anything until she opened the tooth, but she gave me hope. In the end, she saved my tooth! She also cleans teeth herself . I have never met another dentist who does that. Now my entire family sees her. She is a doctor who genuinely wants you to have good health and keep your teeth for a long time. There are far too many dentists who act like car salespeople. If you're looking for a real dentist, she is the one. Her dental office is called Stowe Plaza Dental, and she shares the space with another dentist. I think he is great too.

Big difference to all the other Dentists we have been before that want to charge you for something else every time you go and tell you, you need this or that done. etc....

She also does the teeth cleaning herself so it is done properly. We can highly recommend Dr. Anita Verma and her staff. Thank you, Dr. Verma for providing such excellent care.
