I went to the clairemont mesa dental center yesterday and got 18 X-rays of a cracked molar. They…read moretold me I would need to go to a specialist and would recommend me to someone who they work with closely who could help me out. They sent me to a Jayson tengonciang and they are a huge rip off. They wanted me to do some appointment to see what the emergency was- even tho im being sent by a supposed close doctor. I told them the other doctor told me I definitely needed a root canal. They said they have to look at it themselves and take their own X-rays and see if I need a root canal.... So they want to take all new X-rays even tho I just took 18 yesterday they could use from the doctor office who is supposedly connected to them??? So I'm going to have to double pay for xray? I can understand having to take new X-rays if the ones I took were a week old or something but I took 18 X-rays YESTERDAY. This place is the biggest scam I've ever seen. People can barely buy groceries and they want to charge me for new X-rays even tho I took some YESTERDAY. The receptionist JULES was very short and hung up on me. Didn't even try to fix the situation or work with my financial situation. This place is full of crooks who are money hungry and dgaf about their patients wellbeing. Beware Edit: I have an extreme fear of the dentist and this experience has just solidified how much a rip off these dentists are. The only thing they care about is how many procedure they can force you to pay for. These people know that you need your teeth to eat, that an infection in your teeth could kill you but all they care about is money money money. I'll be looking for a dentist who actually cares about the wellbeing of their patients who don't try to overcharge them for procedures and shit they don't need.

But Dr. Hens made the experience easy. My comfort was constantly monitored. They have blankets and pillows. Throughout the procedure, they checked in with me regularly.. Explanations and warnings for every sensation. I did not experience any pain, which is rare for me as Novacaine tends to wear off quickly on me. And from the evaluation to the completed root canal, I never doubted the expertise of the staff and Dr. Hens. They have this cool 3-D image thing and they do the x-rays in your chair so it is much simplified. She also takes the time to explain everything and answer all your questions. I never felt rushed. I have been putting up with a lower standard of care for far too long and I highly recommend this office if you have any insecurities or fears or hesitations about the work you need done. I was told by the dentist that pain proved I needed a root canal. I was also told the endodontist on staff there did not do evaluations. That was not the kind of care I want. I need more than just a flippant explanation. We were talking about removing and excavating a nerve from my head, which happened to be in my molar. So I sought out an endodontist to evaluate my tooth pulp. Dr. Hens was very thorough and I felt comfortable and certain that I needed the root canal after visiting her. It was not about sales. It was demonstrated through imagery and explanation and made complete sense.

This review is long overdue! I visited Carmel Valley Endodontics in March 2025, and honestly, I…read moredidn't know what to expect. I've always been pretty anxious about root canals (they sound intimidating, right?). But my experience here was completely painless, both literally and figuratively. Dr. Justin Naylor is exceptional at what he does and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. I also had a wonderful experience with Stacy at the front desk! She was an absolute delight and made me feel so welcome. Believe it or not, I'm actually gearing up for my next root canal (I know, crazy!) and I'm genuinely looking forward to coming back! See you soon Dr. Naylor and Stacy!

Dr. Strother and his team were super helpful and probably the most helpful medical professionals I have ever come across to be honest (I used to work at a doctor's office in college too). Scheduling an appointment was super easy and they were super flexible. I believe I did it via e-mail, but they followed up with phone calles/voicemails and also through the zocdoc app. Which can be super helpful! Dr. Strother went over my x-rays with me in detail explaining what he looks for when assessing them, he also went over my teeth while examining me and what he looks for when examining them. Luckily, I have never had any dental issues in my life and that continues to be the case. Since, I didn't have any issues, the dental assistant took over with the cleaning and she did a great job. I was in and out of the office in less than an hour and it was my first time there. I got x-rays and a cleaning, as well as had to fill out my new patient paperwork. Overall, I had an excellent experience with Dr. Strother and La Jolla Dental. I am super happy I chose them to be my new dentist here in San Diego! Keep up the good work, it truly means a lot to come into a friendly, attentive, professional environment when moving to a new city.

She immediately called home and she was frantic. I told her to not do anything until we contacted our insurance and got a 2nd opinion.

Had I not listened to my gut feeling, my daughter would have undergone all of this unnecessary work and a lot of pain. DO NOT GO HERE. This Dentist is performing unnecessary work to profit off of patients with good insurance. They are committing Egregious acts for Profit. You've been warned. I'd give a 0 if I could.

This was one of the most frustrating and upsetting experiences I've had with any dental office…read more I went in for a root canal and got a crown on the same tooth. After they told me everything was done, I ended up with extreme sensitivity to cold and couldn't even chew on that side of my mouth. So clearly, something was not right. When I went back, instead of taking responsibility or actually fixing the issue, I was told the pain is somehow coming from the tooth behind it -- a tooth I NEVER had a single issue with before they worked on me. Now they want another $1,615 to "fix" that one too. So after already paying nearly $2,000, I'm now being told I need to pay even more for a completely different tooth that magically became a problem right after their work? That's unacceptable. And to top it off, the front desk receptionist had the nerve to act like they were doing me a favor by saying they wouldn't charge me for the consultation -- while I'm sitting there in pain from the work THEY did. Not once did the dentist warn me that this procedure could lead to nerve pain or extreme sensitivity--especially to surrounding teeth. I was told everything went fine and sent on my way. To make matters worse, I've already maxed out my dental insurance paying for their work, and now I'm being left with ongoing pain and the possibility of more out-of-pocket costs I simply can't afford. This feels incredibly misleading and honestly like I'm being pushed into more unnecessary procedures just to get more money out of me. I would absolutely not recommend this office.

But it ended up being the most relaxing dental treatment I've ever had! Dr. Kamarath was my doctor, and she is beyond amazing. She explained my situation and procedure in a way I could understand, which put me at ease immediately. Her assistant was excellent as well. You can tell they both genuinely care about making patients feel comfortable. During the procedure, Dr. Kamarath explained each step, letting me know what she was doing and what stage we were at, so I never had to wonder how much time was left. The whole thing felt surprisingly short! I also noticed the mutual respect between Dr. Kamarath and her assistant in their conversations, which I think contributed to the calming atmosphere. That evening, Dr. Kamarath even gave me a follow-up call, which I truly appreciated. To my surprise, I didn't experience any pain after the treatment, and my tooth felt completely back to normal in no time. Now I just wish I could see Dr. Kamarath for everything! May South Coast Endodontics continue to thrive!
