I found Dr. Kellen Tadano on Best Dentists of San Diego (San Diego Magazine) after my dentist retired. I had chipped a molar that needed prompt attention and fortunately I was able to schedule an emergency appointment with Dr. Tadano a few days later. She examined me and executed the treatment plan two days later. I feel very fortunate for having found Dr. Tadano. She has a gentle hand and sincere concern for your comfort and experience in her care. Her office is pristine, her staff is cordial and well trained, and they have the most relaxing music playlist. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Tadano to friends and relatives. read more

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Tadano and her her amazingly knowledgeable and friendly staff. I went in with some serious issues and anxiety and felt supported and comforted immediately. While it will take several appointments to treat and resolve my issues, a visit to the dentist is now a happy experience for me and I always leave smiling and feeling great. My entire family, including my mother, are now patients of Dr. Tadano's. PS: Her offices are beautifully designed, comfortable and calming. read more

Found Dr. Tadano on the insurance website and checked out her reviews before making an appointment. So glad I did! It has been a very long time since I have gone to the dentist, and she immediately set up appointments for all these things to fix fillings and cleanings etc. Dr. Tadano and the rest of her staff are so personable and welcoming; I am glad to find a dental office I actually like :) read more

Best dentist ever! Super knowledgeable and awesome staff! I used to be scared of dentist office due to my past experiences but now thanks to Dr. Tadano and her team I enjoy my visits knowing that I won't feel any pain and I will be taken care of! Thank you Dr. Tadano and your awesome team! read more

I found Dr. Tadano's office through the recommendation of a friend, after having a terrible experience with another dentist. Everyone in the office was friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to take care of me. I was able to get an appointment the next day and Dr. Tadano was incredibly patient and gentle, explaining everything and making sure I wasn't in any pain. She took her time with the anesthetic, and made sure my jaw was comfortable and my lips weren't too dry during the procedure. She also was very careful to make sure my bite was correct afterwards. The office very nice and as an added bonus, they offer movies and music to distract you during the procedure. Overall, I'm thrilled to have found a dentist that I can trust. Everything about this office was nice/simple - from getting an appointment and dealing with insurance and billing, to the procedure itself (still not fun, but significantly better than other dentists I've seen!). read more

Beautiful about ridiculous charges. They increase price on everything. For example: preventive dental cleaning from $97 to $134. The staff are good. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Tadano for 5 years now her staff is amazing and Dr. Tadano is an excellent dentist her knowledge and skills are none to best! Recently brought my mom from overseas and she has had a lot of work done but unfortunately not quality work. Dr. Tadano has been amazing addressing many challenges and working with what is left in my moms mouth. I really appreciate that Dr. Tadano in addition to being a great dentist has the patients best interest at heart. read more

All of the staff are very professional, kind and caring. I highly recommend this orthodontist. They squeezed me in at a busy time and got my missing implant tooth back from the lab and installed in record time. It looks great! read more

My family and I have been going to Dr. Tadano for about 12 years and I can't imagine going to another dentist. Both she and her staff are welcoming, professional and compassionate. She and her staff do a better job with children than other doctors that state they are a children's dentist. It's great when I tell my kids they have a dental appointment coming up and they actually look forward to going so they can see the staff again. Besides cleanings, I did Invisalign with Dr. Tadano and had a very positive experience! You will not regret your choice to go to this dental office. read more

My recommendation: Go to Dr. Tadano she's awesome! Dr. Tadano has been my dentist in San Diego for a few years now and I have really absolutely nothing but great things to say for her and everybody in her practice. I've recommended a LOT of my friends to her already, and I'm glad that I do every time. They are extremely by the book on all matters dentistry, and their level of service makes me feel really really comfortable every single time I'm there. I've been to plenty of dentists in the past and they've all told me "you won't even feel a thing." But in all these years of getting lidocaine/novacaine injected, only by the hands of Dr. Tadano and her staff have I ACTUALLY not felt a thing. So much attention to detail and care...thanks! Call them, even tell them I sent you...best dentist. read more

When I moved to Carlsbad about 5 years ago...I was once again on the hunt for the perfect dentist. I have found a great pediatric dentist and she recommended Dr. Tadano. I was very pleasantly surprised when I went to my first appt and the dental hygienist not only was soooo soooo gentle, but also sooooo knowledgeable and she shared with me all the things I should be doing with my teeth and they all made sense. When I met Dr. Tadano, Jamie and Nancy, I was so pleased with how awesome they were with me and my needs. I was replacing alllllll of my crowns and fillings (4 crowns and 4 fillings) to be alll white. They were soooo awesome with all my work, and with double insurance I paid a whooping $30 total over the two years to get allll this work done. They billed direct and I never had to even deal with it. The whole process from start to finish was flawless and the best service I have ever had at a dentist. This team is family to each other and you can definitely tell. They take of one another and they took great care of me, and now my family as well. read more

Everyone was so nice. When you walk in they all greet you. It is very clean inside too. I love all the staff and I felt comfortable. You can ask them anything and they are always clear. They are also very gentle when they clean your teeth which is really important to me. They make sure you are comfortable as well. I would recommend this place to everyone. read more

Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Going to the dentist is never "fun" but Dr. Tadano and her staff make it as enjoyable as possible.

Thank you Dr. Tadano and staff! Dr. Tadano is the BEST dentist I've ever been to! Her staff are all super friendly, and her office is exceptionally clean. I always feel welcome and valued as a customer. I love how knowledgeable her staff is. Her front office staff is so courteous and has always been nothing but helpful with appointments and insurance questions. I never leave with unanswered questions. The back office staff and hygienist are great! Very friendly, excellent skills! Thank you Dr. Tadano and staff! See you at my next appointment! read more

I never fail to get the utmost attention and service when visiting Dr. Tadano and her staff!

I have been a patient of Dr. Tadano's for several years now. This office gained my trust very quickly. I have navigated several medical and dental offices in my life and they are not created equal. First impressions are felt with the voice that answers the phone and greets you at the front desk. I have always been treated with such kindness and expertise. My questions concerning treatments, insurance and how my benefits work, have always been answered clear and understandable. I trust Dr. Tadano and her staff, I have incurred many health challenges that required special attention to my teeth and mouth and Dr. Tadano is extremely thorough and I would recommend her to all my friends and family. I found a home in this office. Thank you Dr. Tadano, Nandy, Janie, and Candi for your commitment and service. Forever your patient, Janet Blevins read more

I had been going to another dentist in Carlsbad for a number of years. I always felt as if I was being overcharged for all procedures. At the urging of my daughter I was able to get a quick appointment with Dr. Tadano. She immediately assessed my main issue and was able to provide the procedure at HALF the price of my previous dentist. Dr. Tadano is a very personable dentist and doesn't rush through her patients. Her staff is number 1 in my book - excellent phone etiquette and friendly greeting when arriving at her office. Her chair side assistants are also number 1. My spouse was receiving invisalign from our previous dentist. Dr. Tadano was able to beat previous dentist price so she switched. They took new impressions and will be providing invisalign braces from now on. Her staff made switching dentist super easy & didn't require a lot of effort on my part. I have no problem recommending Dr. Tadano for any procedures she performs. read more

I had a cap fall off and you got me in right away....as a new patient! Thank you so much. I am moving the whole family over to you!

Love Dr. Tadano and her staff! My family has been going to her office for years and have referred several others to her as well. Always honest and looking out for patients' best interest. read more

Dr. Tadano and her entire staff are amazing! I had several bad dental experiences with my previous East Coast dentist, so I was nervous before my first appt. with Dr. T. As I suspected, much of my dental work needed to be redone, so it felt like starting all over and I was very scared. However, Dr. T's working style is so gentle (and her calm, friendly demeanor helps too) that I only had one appt. with "laughing gas." I felt as though I didn't need it after the first appointment, and that's saying A LOT for me;) Candi is an incredible, thorough hygienist, again with a gentle style, Janie is equally amazing and I challenge you to find a friendlier, more knowledgeable and helpful "face of the office" than Nandy. I've even referred my doctors to Dr. T. and they love her as well. read more

Dr Tadano and her staff are genuinely interested in my concerns, fears and expectations. The state of the art equipment and new technologies have been educational. I love the comfortable chairs, headphones and blankets. But first and foremost is the cleanliness of the office and staff. There is never a surprise in billing. In fact, the bill has been less than the estimate more than once. read more

The office staff are very friendly. A warm smile and friendly greeting are instantly offered when you walk through the doors. Everyone is nice and gentle during procedures. Your comfort is their number one objective. During any visit you may listen to music or watch a movie which adds an extra level of comfort and relaxation. Dr. Todano had done extensive work on our teeth and is very thorough and gentle. We highly recommend this dental office for all ages in your family. You won't be disappointed. read more

Went to the office this morning and had an excellent experience! Dr Kellen Tadano is very professional and knowledgeable! After taking x rays she explained exactly what I need and which tooth needs the most important care. She gave me options and advice how to move forward. Staff is extremely friendly and professional. At front desk, Nandy explained all the cost in details so as my next appointment that will take place in a couple of week. Highly recommended ! read more

We love Dr Tadano and her wonderful staff!!! We have been coming to her now for the last 5 years and refuse to go anywhere else.

They have an amazingly beautiful new office and we travel all the way from Fallbrook to see them. I highly recommend Dr Tadano to anyone and everyone! read more

Last week when I broke my tooth, my root was completely exposed and I was referred to see Dr. Tadano in Carlsbad. Even though her office was 50 miles away from me, I WOULD TRAVEL there and back again to see Dr. Tadano. My experience at this office was nothing less than superb! I was 15 minutes late because I got lost, but from the moment I arrived at the office I was still greeted with a warm and friendly hello. I never once felt rushed. Dr. Tadano is a very curtious professional who truly cares about her patients. She explained all my options, she was very gentle, and always monitored my pain threshold. This practice is located beautifully in Carlsbad, equipped with top of the line technology, and they even offer payment plans!!!! It can not get better than that. Don't wait to see any local doctor, drive a little further a get the quality and treatment you deserve. This practice values customer service and it shows!!. read more
