    So far so good! Clean smelling office with really friendly and INFORMATIVE staff. Dr. Libby is fantastic!!! He's so patient, he seriously takes his time with patients getting to know them as people and their dental history/issues. He was so personable and asked questions that most dentists don't care to ask. I am so impressed with him and it makes sense why his staff is the way they are, he sets the standard of care very high. The technology in this office is OUTSTANDING, most offices say state of the art but they're not, Libby dental is truly state of the art. They have multiple x ray options for different patients needs, they have equipment that makes this office a true one-stop-shop. All in all, this office is refreshing. It's exactly what a modern dental practice should be. Fantastic technology, extremely friendly staff, exceptional personal care and treatment, and last but definitely not least, a doctor that really cares about his patients. Dr.Libby is kind, empathetic, he also isn't shy about the cost of dental procedures and tries to make it as easy as possible for patients to get the treatment they need without breaking the bank. I actually look forward to getting dental care here.

    First, I want to state that I am a difficult patient. A downright pain in the butt to be totally honest! Dr. Libby is a true professional. Incredible patience, very kind, and informative. He was a treat to work with on a customer service level. On top of that, my teeth turned out amazing. I had a bad skateboarding accident when I was about 18 and broke out my front four teeth. It also pushed the front two teeth up into my septum. I needed to get these teeth redone. It was an extremely difficult case. Dr. Libby and Utah Valley Dental lab worked together to create a beautiful smile for me. They did a full diagnostic wax up and then the permanent restoration with pink porcelain on the upper part of the crowns to hide the length of the teeth and damage to the gingiva. Just amazing work! Best Cosmetic dentist in San Diego County. Thank you to the full team at Libby Dental for making me pretty again! You have really changed my life.

    Let's face it, if you enjoy going to the dentist you're probably a psychopath, a masochist or both. That being said, I wouldn't say I enjoyed going to Libby Dental, per se, but I did have an overall good experience. As far as I know there are two dentists operating there: Dr. Miller and Dr. Libby. I feel like this is relevant because every dentist provides a different experience. I exclusively saw Dr. Miller and I don't remember the name of the hygienist I saw but she was very nice as well. In fact, everyone from the front desk to the dentist's chair was very nice and helpful. Martha, at the front desk, is really the face of the office. She was very helpful in scheduling the procedures and answering any questions I had. The work I had done was a bit more than routine. I had not seen a dentist for the better part of a decade so several of my teeth required Crowns and other dental things I can't remember the name of. Since my mouth was getting a complete overhaul they broke everything down into multiple visits. I think in total I was in and out of the office 4 or 5 times over the course of several months. I will say they're not cheap but good things/services rarely are. Going in for a consultation is usually free and I would suggest Libby Dental to anyone considering having work done.

    Where do I start! Landon Libby and his team are the best bunch of people, they are trustworthy, patient, and understanding. Dr. Libby just finished my porcelain veneers and I couldn't be happier. The process was so smooth and he listened to every opinion I had haha. They are also very flexible with your schedule and got me in when I needed while I was going through a move. I felt very well taken care of. They are a very clean office and follow all the COVID guidelines. I'm so thankful to have such a beautiful smile it's better than I ever imagined!

    Yesterday I had my first root canal and I can't thank Dr. Libby and his staff enough for making it the best possibly experience I've ever had! I was so nervous going into this morning and Dr. Libby calmed my nerves and reassured me I was in good hands & boy was I ever! I didn't feel a single thing I'm not even kidding! I was so nervous for the shots but he used a topical numbing first so I didn't feel a thing! The office is beautiful and staff is nothing short of amazing! Thank you to everyone at Libby Dental for making my dentist experience one of the best! I highly recommend anyone that is in need of a dentist to go see Libby Dental!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!

My actual procedure went very well and Dr. Olin is amazing.*** I had my consultation appointment with Dr. Olin on November 3, 2025 after he was highly recommended by my orthodontist. My consultation included imaging and then 45 minutes of face to face time with Dr. Olin where he explained the plan in depth. I was told that everything would be sent for authorization. I called the office on Friday, November 21st to follow up as I had not received anything from my insurance. I was told by the front office that I needed to have the orthodontist place the palate expander prior to scheduling surgery. This was an error and they were going to check with the doctor and call me back. I never received a call. I followed up 2 weeks later and I checked-in with my orthodontist. I called again and spoke with Brandi, who was handling my auth and scheduling. She let me know the paperwork hadn't been signed. Okay, it's the end of the year, I get it. I told her my goal was to schedule and follow through with the procedure ASAP. I called again after Christmas and spoke with Brandi. No update. I expressed that this was frustrating and I understood that it was not her fault. She agreed that she would also be frustrated. To make a long story shorter, my orthodontic team needed to get involved as there was minimal information and communication from Brandi. If I did call, answers were short and it sounded as though she may be irritated. I finally received auth in late January. Scheduling was just as difficult. Finally get a date scheduled for 5/21 and moved to 4/16, amazing! Pre op is scheduled for 4/13. On 4/3, I called and spoke to Brandi to confirm and asked if we had further details, such as a time. No. The day of my pre-op, all goes to plan until I go to check out and schedule post op appointments. I was told I had a $1500 copay and that I should have been notified. I said I was not and that my copay according to my insurance plan was $0. I asked to see the documentation and the girl at the front desk didn't have it but was told that the insurance company said to collect this amount. I asked to speak to the office manager at this point and was told she was working from home that afternoon but she would call me. I paid the copay because I didn't want to risk losing my procedure date. I called my insurance company immediately after leaving and was told the copay was incorrect, that it was $0, and they had no documentation on their end stating I was to pay $1500. The rep called and spoke to Brandi while I was on hold and when he came back on the line, he said immediately asked if I knew a Brandi. I confirmed and he let me know he had to tell her she could not charge me the copay and that the comment "She should be thankful because she's getting a 60k surgery," was made. He let me know I she was going to void the charges. I called to confirm and Brandi picks up the phone and says,"I'm doing it now." No hello, nothing. I asked if the transaction fee would also be returned. "Yes," and she hung up on me. I followed up via email asking for the transaction receipt and proof of void, and let them know I was happy to pay any patient portion due and I would need to see documentation. I received the transaction receipt and no other response. Surgery came and went. All was well and when I came in for my post op, I asked to speak with the office manager prior to me leaving. I initially told she would call me but when I asked if she was available this afternoon and I would wait, I waited for a few minutes with my husband to speak with Christina. When we sat down with her, I asked if she was familiar with my case and what had happened. She started with "I understand your frustration is targeted on Brandi. ". She followed up with the fact that I had received my money back and it was an error. I let her know that I was really upset with the tone of the service I received and it was so negative that when I was asked by Dr. Olin to move my post op appointment, I didn't want to call incase I spoke with Brandi due to the poor interactions. When I mentioned what my insurance rep said to me, she said it couldn't have happened because she sits next to Brandi. Remember, she was out of the office that afternoon. Christina did not appear to hear my concerns and dismissively said she looked into it. When I seemed unsatisfied, she asked what I was looking for. I replied that I just wanted her to really hear me so that there could be improvements made. Again the answer was very dismissive to the point that I asked if I was even welcome back in the future. I may need another surgery and Dr. Olin is amazing. She said yes and seemed surprised. Long story short, I don't know if change will happen but I hope so.

But at last week's periodic dental appointment her luck ran out and immediate removal was ordered.

In this case of a really senior citizen I saw a possible matter of Life and death if infection spread to her sinuses or eventual septicemia. Fortunately her clinic gave me phone references of some oral surgery clinics. The first one I called didn't treat patients over 85. BUT we were SO fortunate that the Center for Oral and Facial Surgery offered her an immediate appointment !! Literally I called about 1 pm Friday and they offered mom a spot at 930 the following Monday!!!!! And this wasn't just a pre- operative consultation...but the actual extraction. Her luck continued getting DR. TAYLOR.... young, sharp and current with modern dental practices. He also handled mom really well psychologically to adjust his technique when she refused sedation at the last minute to only want local lidocaine numbing. In total the procedure took about 20 minutes! And I felt the pricing was very reasonable for the HIGH QUALITY of Dr Taylor's EXCELLENT care. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this excellent practice!

I was disappointed with my experience at this office. My husband's insurance had recently expired without our knowledge. While I understand that insurance eligibility can change and needs to be verified before an appointment, the way the situation was handled was unprofessional. When we arrived, the front desk employee informed us that the insurance was inactive. As we tried to understand why it had not been caught earlier, she became visibly annoyed, rolled her eyes, and returned my husband's ID by sliding/slamming it back across the counter. We remained respectful and immediately offered to pay for the consultation out of pocket. Despite repeatedly confirming that we wanted to proceed and pay for the appointment, we were continually asked if we wanted to reschedule instead. We were also repeatedly reminded about the card processing fee even after acknowledging it and agreeing to pay. The dentist may provide good care, but the customer service we received at the front desk left a very negative impression. A little professionalism, patience, and courtesy would have gone a long way.

Dr Machado performed a double jaw surgery on me in 2012 - thirteen years ago. I really haven't been able to put into words that he completely changed my entire life. I cannot express enough gratitude and thanks for being able to live the last 13 years happy with my face, after hating looking in the mirror for my entire life prior. Dr Machado is the single most pivotal person in my life after my family. No longer having my appearance be a daily negative factor in my life is best gift I could have ever received. Dr. Machado and his office fought hard for my parents to get the surgery approved through insurance, made a critical last minute decision to go for double jaw surgery instead of having to do two as originally planned, which was so amazing. He was available during my after care and I always felt like I was in good hands and that he was available should I ever need him... which I did a couple years later. My favorite experience was a year or so later when I came back in to get a screw removed - Dr Machado looked at my face and said something to the effect of "I could lowered the top teeth slightly more" - which is something I had considered in passing. I am more than thrilled with my face, its an absolute success by every measure and by any other doctor would be considered 'perfect' - but I am even more appreciative that Dr. Machado cares down the millimeters and scrutinizes your face just as much or more as you do. He is a true artist and a perfectionist. When you undergo this type of surgery you need to have someone you can trust with your appearance, especially in the trying times when you have to wait months to a year for the final result. Dr. Machado is someone who can and will deliver that for you. Thank you for completely changing the entire direction of my life. Thank you for giving my the self confidence I never had.

The reality set in that I couldn't hide behind my dental anxiety any longer. I reached out to Dr. McClanahan and set up an appointment. Even setting foot in the office was causing heart palpitations. I had no idea what to expect! I have read online that some dentists shame patients for neglecting care, or how some just don't care if you're anxious. My mind was full of all kinds of interesting thoughts and fears. I told him and his staff that I am anxious, and they treated me with extra care and explained everything along the way. After some x-rays and a consultation, I needed an extraction and some fillings! Yikes. It was kind of a shock, although I knew I'd need some extensive work. I also knew that my years of dental fear had finally caught up to me. Fast forward to today, and I have had my extraction and I just completed my fillings. Thanks to Dr. McClanahan and his team, their calming and reassuring attitudes, and the power of oral conscious sedation, I've had my dental issues resolved and I have made serious progress toward my life-long dental anxiety. I went in today to have my bite adjusted after the fillings, and I have to say I was not even anxious stepping into the office and hearing and feeling the adjustment of my fillings taking place. I've even scheduled my next cleaning. For once I am living pain-free and worry-free. I put it off for so long. I didn't know life could be this way. If you're like me, and have suffered with dental anxiety, just know that it sounds impossible but you can live a pain-free, anxiety-free life, thanks to Dr. McClanahan and his amazing team.

I was referred here by Visionary Dental Arts and I swung by the day of to have a quick convo and they were able to get me a consultation within the next 48 hours which was clutch because my insurance plan was changing and I needed a quick turnaround time. The receptionist were quick, funny, and informative. They have an automated system to send you text reminders of your appointment plus a welcome video after you leave the office. For my consultation, I was running late because my dog became ill and they were gracious and worked with finding another time for me to come in. I arrived later that day and waited no more than 5 minutes in a crowded waiting room to go in and get my head scanned. I was put into the patient room with scans of my head and I met with 3 people. The assistant, then the doctor, then the payment specialist. Each one was welcoming and didn't talk to me entirely in jargon and technical terms. They made it a point to use the medical terms and then combine it with more common terms. It was in a way that didnt make me feel inferior or not smart. I then went and made an appointment for two weeks from there. A few days later, I called and asked if I can move it up and they were more than happy to do so as they had a last minute opening for extraction. On they day of my appointment, I came in, they went over a few paperwork, took payment, and then whisked me into the room. They asked what type of music I wanted to be played and told them some music from my home country and they were bopping along with me and asking questions about my country and sharing stories about their own. I was 3 minutes into the song before next thing I knew, I was being walked out to the car. Don't remember much but they mentioned how fun I was and that they enjoyed spending time with me. Apparently I was hilarious and grooving even in my sleep. Many thanks for their patience and care they provided me.
