We've trusted Super Dentists with three of my children for years, and experiences like this are…read moreexactly why we continue coming back. Last week, my daughter saw Dr. Alvarado for the first time alongside Soli, who has been caring for my kids for years. Together, they were an absolute blessing. They didn't just provide excellent dental care--they created a space where my daughter felt safe, heard, and genuinely cared for. Their kindness, patience, professionalism, and knowledge were evident from start to finish. They took the time to do a thorough exam, explained everything clearly, and made sure we felt informed and comfortable every step of the way. As a parent, there's nothing more valuable than knowing your children are in compassionate, capable hands. Dr. Alvarado and Soli truly embody that rare combination of excellence and heart. Thank you both for making such a positive impact on our family. Super Dentists is fortunate to have you!

I had an appointment scheduled and completed all of the required paperwork that was sent to me by…read morethe office right before my appointment time. After arriving, I was informed that the dentist was not in and that I would need to reschedule for another day. This was extremely frustrating and a complete waste of my time, especially since there was no advance notice or courtesy call before I came in. I also had to travel a long distance and waste gas to make it to this appointment, only to be turned away at the door. What made it even more concerning was being told that this "happens a lot." If this truly happens a lot, then maybe someone should pay attention and fix the issue instead of repeatedly inconveniencing patients. People arrange their schedules, take time off, travel, and make an effort to be on time for their appointments. Patients deserve better communication, better organization, and more respect for their time.

We drive from east county because there's no one I trust more with their teeth and keeping the experience positive. I can't say enough great things about this team and our experience here. The front desk staff has changed over the last few years and recently for the better. Warm, friendly and extra helpful!!

TL;DR Toxic Workplace, Engage at your Peril…read more You've gotten this far so you are looking past the heavily curated ratings. Good for you. If you have ever worked in a toxic workplace you will sense it here. No one smiles unless it's time to interact with you. Everyone is on pins and needles because they know the purpose: move as many kids through as possible, as quickly as possible, with as little attention to the individual as possible. They are fundamentally unhappy people, you can tell, when they greet you when they go through their scripted lines to get you moving as quickly as possible. A fake smile here to reassure the unwary. Toxic. It comes out in other ways too. If you ask too many questions, ask for alternatives, discuss what is happening, these are things that slow down the conveyor belt. These are absolutely not greeted with happiness, and can land you in hot water. This horrid, well polished treadmill will not give you the service your child deserves. Go elsewhere.

My daughter loves Dr. Angela Lee and her entire dental care team! She used to be afraid of getting…read moreher teeth cleaned, but now she actually enjoys her dental visits thanks to everyone in the office. Becky is the best dental hygienist ever. She always puts my daughter at ease with her warm, cheerful conversations and lets her watch Frozen during the cleaning. Both Dr. Angela and Becky are incredibly patient, friendly, and truly know how to communicate with toddlers. I especially appreciate their kindness and dedication. At one visit, we arrived about 30 minutes late because of unexpected traffic, and it was almost closing time. They still welcomed us, took their time, and provided the same thorough and gentle cleaning they always do. We never felt rushed. The entire team is professional, caring, and wonderful with kids.

My son is 14 months old and he took a spill. My pediatrician recommended we see a dentist. My son…read morehadn't been to a dentist yet and I thought it would be a good idea to see a pediatric dentist rather than my own. Dr. Chris Pham was one of three preferred providers on my health insurance within 10 miles of my home. I chose Dr. Chris and I'm glad I did. I called on a Monday and got a same day appointment. The office staff and nurses are all very friendly and interacted with my son, in an age appropriate way. Dr. Chris was very professional, knowledgeable, thorough and gentle. He seemed to genuinely care. He made sure I didn't leave with any unanswered questions. The office was very clean, modern and while not overly themed, the office had plenty going on for kids. The waiting room had toys and 2 flat screen TVs with animated movies playing. The exam room had stuffed animals and even a TV built into the ceiling above the chair. My son received a balloon and got to choose a small prize toy on the way out. Of course, in the scheme of things it is the Dr. and his staff that counts and there was no disappointment here. I would definitely recommend Dr. Chris. PS - See other Yelp reviews for Dr. Pham under Carmel Valley Pediatric Dentistry.

Dr. Soudabeh Sharafi is unprofessional, and unethical. The first time I experienced this with her…read morewas several years ago when I was forced to pay for unneeded sedation which insurance didn't cover. Recently, I attempted to give her the benefit of the doubt and came in again because sedation was needed. During the last appointment, I overlooked her dog running around the office, almost escaping out the front door of the building, because I love dogs, though was thinking pet hair floating around a space clients have their mouths open isn't ideal. The final level of completely unprofessional and unethical behavior, however, came today when she texted to schedule a followup appointment to complete treatment. While texting back and forth to find a good time to come in, I asked if I could make a business suggestion. She asked what I meant, so with every intent on being helpful I mentioned her website address as it relates to how clients see it, "delmarpedo.com", in that "pedo" these days is mostly used as shorthand for pedophile. As she said I am the only one who ever pointed this out, I replied that it's likely because it is an awkward conversation and maybe she should check with a trusted friend. This was all it took to have her refuse to communicate with my children and me about follow up treatment. She made a point of telling me as of May, she would no longer serve Medi-Cal patients, I assume to shame me for having Medi-Cal at present and to assuage her own tender ego. When she recently gave up her own office to share space with another practice, I assumed it was that the rent was high and she didn't have enough clients to stay there which is why I mentioned the web address. Being the "pedo" dentist of Del Mar, might be an extra bad look these days with the Epstein Files in the media, so my bringing it up was done in the spirit of helping a business owner who might not have taken the connotation into account. As she clearly looks down on her Medi-Cal clients, she was unable to see me as someone who could help her. Unfortunately, with this continuous pattern of poor behavior, I don't think anyone can.

I wish I saw the reviews here before I took my son to Dr. Soudabeh. She was not clear about being…read moreout of network with our insurance. I called her because her name was on our insurance directory, but apparently it was her another office. I didn't find out that she was out of network until our insurance claim for 4 cavities and 1 extraction got rejected due to incomplete information. She kept blaming it on our insurance not trusting her, but after reading reviews here, I'm guessing our insurance has her record of unnecessary procedures. And it seems at least one of his teeth didn't needed to be filled since our insurance denied the claim even after submitting before-after x-ray. We ended up paying $734.03 out of pocket in addition to $289 co-pay. Insurance paid her $255.11 for 3 cavities (claim for 1 cavity and 1 extraction was denied again) but she refunded us $239.00 (I guess she really needed that $16.11 she didn't forward to us...). We will take this as an expensive lesson to do our research before going to any dentists, but I wanted to leave my review to warn others.

We love this office! Our family has been coming to Dr. Sionit since my daughter turned 7. I…read morewholeheartedly trust this office because I have never felt rushed or misled on treatment. My daughter is now 10 and has been coming every 8-9 months for check ups but still does not have braces. They closely monitor how her adult teeth are coming in and will let us know the optimal time to get braces. My son just got an expander at 7.5 years old and I'm very happy with the process so far. I could tell he would need one as he snores and breathes with his mouth open at night. I'm very excited to see the results of the treatment as it will make more space for his teeth but can also improve is breathing. Overall I can confidently recommend this office! Dr Sionit is amazingly kind and professional!

She cares about you like family. Her referrals are also top notch, she won't accept anything less, believe me, I've seen it.

I brought my 17 year old son to Dr. Alhamdi's office for a second opinion after a crown placed by…read moreanother dentist failed. Based on his previous office manager's assurance that insurance would void the prior claim, I proceeded with treatment and paid in full upfront the next day. The insurance claim was ultimately not voided, leaving me responsible for $2,527.40 out of pocket. I felt the manager just wanted to get the money from me and I felt cheated. Unfortunately, the replacement crown placed by Dr. Alhamdi also resulted in failed margin fitting and seal. After reviewing X rays that I specifically requested, I noticed a distal margin ledge that was never disclosed to me. Dr. Alhamdi kept saying the margin fit was acceptable, but two independent dentists later confirmed the margin issue and an inadequate seal. Dr. Alhamdi said he can redo the crown for my son not because he made some errors but because of a courtesy of my request which made me feel he is not an honest person. Despite multiple written and phone requests, the office has never provided my son's clinical notes nor responded to my refund request. This was already the second failed crown on the same tooth, and my son now needs a third replacement. Keeping repeating the crown 3 times plus the original crown is damaging the tooth a lot and my son is only 17 years old. Given the repeated issues, lack of transparency, and poor follow up, I no longer trust this office for care.
