Outstanding honest dentist with a hardworking team. Always booked out months in advance for routine cleanings but have slots available for urgent care. Can't recommend highly enough read more

Dr. Cowman has been my dentist for years, and his father ,before that! He has great skills, knowledge and bedside manner. His staff is the best! I'd never think of going anywhere else! read more

I found Dr. Cowman online after finally receiving insurance through my new job. I really didn't know where to begin whereas I hadn't been to the dentist's office since I was kid.( I'm 29 now) I was looking to get my chipped front tooth fixed and wasn't sure if just any dentist could tackle such a task. I called and spoke to Karen who was super professional and scheduled an appointment for a few weeks out. Dr. Cowman's Got this warm vibe that makes you feel like you're being taken care of. I felt comfortable from the minute he introduced his self. My usual haircut appointment takes longer than it did to get my smile back! It's funny, something that haunted me for about 3 years took about 20 minutes to fix. I couldn't be happier, thanks again! read more

really nice service and everyone there was kind with really good quality. i went for a cleaning and it was very enjoyable.

We love Dr. Cowman and have been seeing him for years. Our 6 year old recently had to have some dental work. I was really nervous but the entire staff put him at ease. He did great. We have referred many friends here and everyone has been happy. I can't say enough great things about Dr. Cowman and his staff. read more

Amazing dentist! I have had some average dentist in the past but Crowman is amazing! He also referred me to some other great oral surgeons and orthos. He was honest with advice for me and I really appreciate all their help! read more

I am a happy, long time client of Dr. Cowman. Usually, I come in for a dental cleaning once or twice a year. This time it was more like 1 1/2 years between cleanings (eek!). It was my first time with hygienist Jolie, who was wonderful! Previous to Jolie, Janis was my long time & favorite hygienist for over 20 years! Honestly, I was a little nervous because of my delay between cleanings, and having someone other than Janis work on my teeth. Jolie made me feel completely at ease. She gave me a skillful, and gentle teeth cleaning. My teeth are back to being healthy and beautiful! Afterwards, Dr. Cowman did his exam of my teeth, and dental X-rays. It's always a pleasure to come to this dental practice. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Cowman deserves more than 5 stars. Let me cut to the chase, if you don't appreciate a dentist who will give you outstanding dental care delivered with humor and professionalism, then Dr. Cowman isn't for you. I've known Dr. Cowman for many years and to give you an idea of how much I appreciate his dentistry and expertise, I have to drive more than two hours from Los Angeles to visit him in his office in San Diego. Recently, I had to have some major work done as I was in bad shape and he went way beyond the extra mile to take care of me. His staff is also outstanding and very pleasant to work with and I couldn't have had a better experience. I can't recommend Dr. Cowman any higher. read more

Dr. Matt (as my kids call him) is a great dentist, and everyone in the office is wonderful. It's amazing what a difference a good dentist can make. I had an onlay pop out over Thanksgiving weekend, called Monday morning and got in that afternoon. I'd gotten the onlay at a dental group in Eastlake years before, (and paid a premium for it, as they told me the filling was too big for a traditional filling or inlay). Dr. Matt replaced it with a composite filling at literally a fraction of the price that I paid for the stupid thing the first time (which came out and needed to be re-cemented - twice). I don't have insurance, and was pleasantly surprised when I got my bill. Dr. Cowman's practice is the antithesis of everything I hate about every dental groups I've ever been to. Before my family started going here, a visit to the dentist was strangely reminiscent of a visit to a used car lot - only the salesman's plaid pants and combover are replaced by a white coat. My last visit to said dental group involved getting the hard sell on tooth whitening and invisilign, and the final straw was being told I have 12 (twelve!) cavities. When pushed, the dentist admitted that they're not really cavities, but "spots that could become cavities unless we take care of them now". What?! Five years later, and those 'spots' have not morphed into said pits of decay, and I didn't have to pay hundreds to stop it from happening. Janice (the hygienist) always tells me I have nice teeth after a cleaning, which is much better for my self esteem. ;) Point being, Dr. Cowman and his staff are fabulous, he's a nice guy, and I highly recommend him. read more

Best dentist EVER! From the moment you first walk in, you will feel you are among friends - people who make you laugh, feel comfortable and truly have your best interest at heart. Dr. Cowman filled the only cavity I have gotten as an adult. I was definitely anxious, remembering bad experiences with getting them filled as a kid. But, when all was said and done, it turned out to be a great experience! Yes, great! Dr. Cowman's office was so different than any I had ever been to - from Karen, the receptionist to Chantel, the hygienist to Dr. Cowman himself, they make the experience of going to the dentist really quick and easy. I had no pain and Dr. Cowman made sure of that. He checked in on me throughout the filling and Chantel did an amazing job of relaxing me beforehand. They both kept me laughing and let me listen to music (so I didn't hear the drill) and the dental chair even has a back massager in it, which was awesome. There is something strong to be said for an office that doesn't need to use groupon or advertising to get new patients these days. Obviously, I hate the thought of going to the dentist, same as everyone. But I am actually looking forward to the next time I get to see the team at this office! read more

great. place great staff karen at the front desk is wonderful. Matt is a true professional. unfortunately janice is no longer there. but they hired a new dental hygienist and jolie. (sp). is great. very knowledgeable and uses the newest in technology to get the job right with no discomfort. love this place. both my wife i land I have been going here for years read more

Very uneducated dentist that does not keep up with modern research. One of the unqualified hygienists poked a hole in my tooth by being incredibly rough with the explorer. Very unprofessional. Will not return. read more

The doctor and staff are very friendly. I've been going here for years because these are by far the most painless cleanings I have ever had. For a long time I didn't have dental insurance, but the costs were a lot lower than I expected. With a place like this, there is no excuse to avoid the dentist. read more

I've been a patient of the Cowmans since I was a kid in the late 70's, early 80's. (The practice belonged to Dr. Matt's father in those days.) I had another dentist for a few years as a very young child and it was a somewhat traumatizing experience. But after he went out of practice, my mom took us to Dr. Cowman, who was my father's dentist. These people are the best! Since I've been going there, I never understood why people would dislike going to the dentist... I actually look forward to my visits! His office staff is really nice... They remember better what was going on in my life the last time I was in than I do! Even my wife, a lifelong victim of dentist terror and trauma, went to see these folks at my urging and came out laughing...and no longer afraid of a dentist visit. I pay a little more to use an insurance plan that they accept. I would pay a lot more if I had to, there is no way I would ever switch. read more

I found Dr. Cowman on Yelp when I moved to SD two years ago. He and his office staff are so sweet, and my appointments are always on time and very efficient. When I was pregnant, I was really impressed when Dr. Cowman told me I could bring my newborn to my next cleaning. As a first time mom without help in the area, it was so nice not to worry about finding childcare. When my baby started crying during my cleaning, his staff came and picked him up. Kim even changed his diaper!! They were completely understanding and kind when I had to feed him and end the appointment early. An experience like this can be really traumatizing for a first time mom, but they made it so easy. I'm so grateful for the entire office. read more

Dr. Cowman and his staff are amazing. I have been going to them for 9 years and they are always professional. Karen will even give me a reminder call when my appointment is comming close. Always a great visit! read more

Dr. Cowman and his team are the best! They make you feel really comfortable and don't make you feel guilty if maybe you haven't flossed as often as you should have. Karen at the front desk is wonderful, Janice the hygienist is super gentle and kind, and same goes for Dr. Cowman! He's honest and ethical, always putting your interests first. He's a refreshing breath of fresh air among so many shady dentists out there who try to convince you to get unnecessary work done just to line their pockets. I've never had a dentist this good. I can actually say that it is a pleasure to go get a cleaning. Highly recommended! read more

I chipped a filling and the receptionist got me in the same day for a very reasonable price for someone with no insurance. Dr Cowman was great and everything was very painless. Best density experience I've ever had. Highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a great dentist who really cares about your dental health and well-being. :) read more

Dr. Cowman was referred to me by a friend after I had experienced a very bad dentist. I felt relieved when he provided efficient solutions to my dentistry needs. He seems to have integrity when it comes to doing what is necessary and provides a very pleasant atmosphere in his office. read more

I went to Dr. Cowman today to have my teeth cleaned, for the first time. I appreciated the friendly atmosphere, the "down home" feel and the great dental cleaning I received. I liked that the hygienist talked to me about what she was seeing in my mouth, and about how to "protect my investment" (I've had my share of dental work & cosmetic dentistry). She took the time to grind down some leftover amalgam that was creating a rough spot, something neither of the past 2 dentists spoke of or tried to resolve. Dr. Cowman came and took a look when the hygienist was done & confirmed what she had determined: "nothing to fix." I am pleased! Diane from PB. read more

The only place I will ever go to is Dr. Cowman. He is such an amazing dentist. I'll start off by saying that I'm terrified of going to the dentist in general but Dr. Cowman and staff make the experience more enjoyable.It's a smaller practice which is amazing if you want that personal and attentive experience. Karen at the front is always so helpful and will do anything to make your experience a great one.Dr. Cowman's been taking care of my teeth and my entire family's for over 8 years. I've referred friends,family, and coworkers and all have come back with rave reviews.Everyone here is genuinely invested in taking care of the health of your teeth and if it doesn't need fixing they won't suggest it. So lucky that I found them. read more

What an awesome dentist and what amazing staff!!! Yes, I am going to say it, I love going to "this" dentist. Right fromt he time to walk in Karen makes you feel so welcome and confortable and then Dr Cowman himself is a wonderful person and an excellent dentist. Several times i have had emergencies and they have accommodated me every time. Sometimes even on a hour's notice. You rarely ever get a dental practice where every person is wonderful and treat you so well. I can definitely say this practice cares about its patients. read more

Best and most honest Dentist in PB!! Friendly and kind people! I highly recommend them!

My husband referred me to Dr. Cowman many years ago and I have never had such a great dentist! Last time I went for a cleaning Dr. Cowman did it himself, that has never happened at any dentist I have went too. And now that we have a daughter she goes there too, ever since she was a baby they let her come in and watch the cleanings so that when it was her time to get one she wouldn't be scard, she wasn't. They are great, I recommend them all the time!!! It's worth the drive... read more

Everything is still great! I have been going for 10 years (ughhh)!

Dr. Cowman is in a 6 star class. Professional, honest, skilled, and experienced.

I like a dentist who gets you in quickly and the work done efficiently and painlessly. Dr. Cowman is just perfect that way. Have an emergency? He'll get you in and take care of it in the most practical way -- why recap a front tooth if a little surface repair can make it beautiful? Other dentists would have seen dollar signs. This is a dentist with skill and integrity. Great staff, too. read more

Great doctor. Took the time to explain everything and made sure I was comfortable with all procedures. Thanks!

I have been going to Dr. Cowman for years. I used to hate going to the dentist because of a few traumatic childhood experiences but was immediately calm and comfortable in Dr. Cowman's office--maybe it was because of the beach boys playing softly in the background ;-). His staff is kind, friendly and accommodating. I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be seen and consistently walk away feeling I received personalized, quality care. It is a rarity to find a dentist who only suggests absolutely necessary procedures and has extremely fair pricing. I highly recommend Dr. Cowman!! read more

It is hard to find a good and honest dentist. We have been going to Dr Cowman for 9 years and he has been great. If something is marginal he always discussed the pros and cons of getting the work done now vs later. His hygentist is the best we ever had. read more

Very friendly staff. Excellent dentist! Very ethical, never tries to upsell.

This dentist and staff are great! I've had some bad experiences in the past so I'm always leery when it comes to the dentist. My boss referred me to Dr. Cowman and I"ve had all good experiences. They even let me bring my baby and keep an eye on him while I'm having a cleaning so he will get used to being there. I've been going for over 8 years now even though I live 30/40 minutes away. Well worth it! read more
