Life happens. In a bit of time I was in between insurances while wrapping up my degree. Once insured again, I called them to schedule a visit with my new coverage, provided all the info, got the "we will confirm and call you to schedule" and literally never heard back. Got the hint and went somewhere else. Too many options out there these days to chase a dentist.

I went to see Dr. Fossett recently for some minor cosmetic work to fix some chipped teeth. I was…read moregreeted by very friendly staff, in a welcoming and clean office. Dr.Fossett saw me immediately and was very personable. He eloquently explained how the procedure was going to be done , and presented me with different options , with absolutely no unnecessary upsell with I really appreciated. He did an amazing job of color matching and contouring. My teeth looked good as new! He is very pleasant ,and cuts no corners, with attention to detail and making sure you are completely satisfied with the experience. Highly recommend!!

I have struggled for many years with dental problems and a fear of the dentist, and I honestly thought nothing could be done. I finally decided I couldn't let embarrassment stop me from getting the smile I wanted. My experience with Dr. Fossett has been absolutely great! He made me feel comfortable right away, took the time to listen to my concerns, and explained how we could make a plan to complete everything in stages--starting with the most important issues first. Now, I look and feel so much better, and all my worries have disappeared. If you're looking for a caring, understanding, and skilled dentist, you will not be disappointed with Dr. Fossett!

They take advantage of military customers. The Navy sent my husband here for work before he…read moreretired. The billing department continually sent us the bill that was supposed to go to the Navy. When we got a collections letter, we called and they said don't worry about it and that they would send it to the Navy. We continued to get the bills until the second collections letter arrived and we just paid it to be done with it. This has been going on for over 6 months. For those who aren't familiar with military medical, they refer you out to civilian practices when they don't have capacity to get you in. All required medical care is covered by the military for Active Duty personnel. Since my husband was retiring, that's what the Navy did. It was a requirement for his discharge from Active Duty and in no way his responsibility to pay. It's really frustrating that this small business could not get their communication figured out, and now we have to try and get reimbursed $1,000 from the military.

I was referred here by another Dental office and was like oh no my luck has run out. The referring Dental office initially broke the ice from my trauma. I took a deep breath and expected the worse and now with the right plan. I can't wait to go back. All you need is a decent insurance and everything will be taken care of.

I had an appointment scheduled and waited over 45 minutes, and it felt very clear that someone was…read moretaken ahead of me. By the time they brought me back, it was close to closing, and everything felt extremely rushed. The X-rays were done very quickly, and the process was actually painful -- something I've never experienced before. The cleaning was also done very fast. After the appointment, I was told I had two cavities, which shocked me- i have never had cavities and I take really good care of my teeth. I decided to get a second opinion from two other dentists, and both confirmed that I have zero cavities. Because of this experience, I felt uncomfortable with the level of care and professionalism. It honestly felt more focused on treatment costs than on my dental health. I will not be returning. 2 stars because it was clean and the chair I was sitting in for almost an hour was comfortable.

Beware - Second opinion needed on anything they recommend!! I was told by Dr Ferguson and their…read moreperiodontist that I needed a front tooth removed due to bone loss and possible root issue. Wait, what? I had a deep pocket at the gum of the tooth, my tooth was strong, not broken and not loose. They made me believe this was my only option and proceeded to explain that an implant would be the way to go since a bridge wouldn't work due to the root issue. The implant procedure would be 8-9 months and I would have a flipper during that time. It was going to cost me $9k for one tooth!!! Can you imagine the anxiety and stress this caused? I decided to get a second opinion. I researched best periodontist in San Diego and after his thorough examination and panoramic X-rays he was shocked and dumbfounded as to why Santee Smiles periodontist wanted to pull the tooth, he saw no bone loss or root issue. All I needed was a minor gum surgery called Guided Tissue Regeneration that costs $1500 (claim to insurance) and get this, once he was done with the procedure he confirmed no bone loss or root issue!!! Be very careful to believe their treatment plan and get a second opinion. I am changing dentists, don't even want my teeth cleaned here, it always costs me something extra... just a money grab.

It has been awhile since I have been to the dentist. So after getting my insurance in order, and…read morebooking an appointment I was more nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. There was a lot of people in the waiting room and I can see why because when they take you back there are so many little exam rooms all equipped with dentistry type of dentist stuff. First appointment, x-rays and a quick scrap and polish of the teeth. Then the news... I needed a full mouth deep cleaning under gums, and two root canals. My Amazon wish list items would have to wait, and next week I would return to take care of the damage. The good - I got everything done in one day because a patient cancelled. The bad- They had to double numb my mouth. I couldn't tell if I was drooling or just imaging it. The ugly- If you have insurance, all the procedures are going to be expensive. I would prepare yourself, and if you have to finance it, look at the finance charges, and pick the 3 month if possible. In the end, the staff was great, the work was thorough, and my teeth are probably happier than I am. Sure, I left with half my face numb and my bank account needing a root canal of its own, but that's more a reality of dentistry than a reflection on the office. If you need dental work done and can handle a little sticker shock, these folks will take good care of you.
