She discriminates against disabled persons. She does not want my autistic son or me in a recumbent wheelchair or arriving in a gurney. Dentists legally do not have to treat disabled patients, unlike MD's. They will say things like the room is too small, although I am lifted onto the dental chair. My husband called. She told him she would evaluate me...a filling fell out and I have pain. This means she talks to me and then tells me to go somewhere else and refuses to refer me. At least she is honest with billing. read more

I've been going to Dr. Scott since I was a kid. The facility is in a nice building, and the office is clean and tranquil. Dr. Scott, Kim, and the staff are very friendly and professional. I have dental anxiety, and they always make me feel safe and cared for. read more

I finally have found a dentist that I want and need to take care of my oral health. Dr. Scott took the time to explain what I needed until I was satisfied that all my concerns were addressed. I needed a crown replaced and the temporary crown is an excellent fit. I go back in two weeks for the permanent crown and I'll bet that is a great fit as well. I left the office feeling good about having the work done. The staff is super helpful and friendly. read more

Great staff. Dr Scott is smart, professional and provides conservative care, in other words -Never recommends care that isn't needed. Very trustworthy. read more

Professional, personable and caring are the three attributes that describe Dr. Michelle Scott, DDS, San Marcos, CA. I needed to get my teeth cleaned. After xrays, I needed three crowns and a filling replaced. Not only did Dr. Scott replace the crowns and filling, her well-trained, friendly staff accommodated my concerns and my schedule. I do not have dental insurance. In Wisconsin, I was charged almost twice!! for crowns to what Dr. Scott charged. What a DEAL! It is a great to have an incredible dentist but to have an incredible dentist who is SUPER REASONABLE in prices is unmatched. Thank you Dr. Scott, Sean, and rest of staff!!! Maureen L. read more

Our whole family loves Dr. Scott and her amazing team! The staff is wonderful and my hygienist, Jennifer, is fantastic and very gentle. We highly recommend Dr. Scott if you are looking for a great and honest dentist in San Marcos! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Scott since 2019 and have been so happy with the care I've received! I would highly recommend Dr. Scott to anyone looking for a San Marcos dentist. She and her staff are so friendly and helpful. I always leave there feeling like I was listened to and taken care of. I also appreciate that her office is conveniently located in the city hall building - parking is so easy. read more

I have worked in the dental field for over 50 year--now retired. I recently started seeing Dr. Scott for my dental care. Her work is A+, she's honest and her office is great! read more

Such a great dental office! The staff is polite and helpful. I have full confidence in the integrity of Dr. Scott and the hygienists. Dentist offices can be scary, especially for young children, but they are great with my children and make it a comfortable place for them. They have gone above and beyond to serve my family's dental needs and I highly recommend them!! read more

Very expensive cash rates for teeth cleaning and x-rays as a new patient. Would only go here if you have insurance.

Great dentist! My mother-in-law recommended us and we are glad we switched. Very nice office with professional staff. They do a great job with the cleaning and exams. Very close and convent location as well. Super happy we switched and found a new dentist! read more

My kids and I are going to Dr. Scott and the little ones see Jon for their cleanings. Wow -- what an amazing experience. As an adult, I love the professionalism and kindness in each one of her staff members. Dr. Scott herself is awesome. I always learn a lot from the dental hygienists. But, it's my kids who have the BEST experience there. I cannot believe how amazing Jon is with putting kids at ease and being super goofy with them. Just a cool office and amazing service. read more

I should preface this by saying I haven't been to this dentist in a few years. However, I am coming back to write this review because I have seen a few dentists since and none have compared to this location. I wish I lived closer so I could still be using this office. I initially chose this dentist because they were located in city hall, essentially. And I figured that if the city hall members have this dentist so close, she must be amazing (this may have been flawed thinking, but it was how I decided). Either way, I was right. The hygienists are A+ quality. Quick, personable, provide tips and knowledge I had never been given before to improve my teeth. I did have to have fillings done and I have been given compliments regarding her work from several dentists since. The office is very comfortable and homey. The people are all very nice and make you feel at ease. read more

I've been coming to this office for about 8 years now and though I've moved further away I keep coming back for all my dental needs. The staff hasn't changed much over the years, probably because they all seem to work so well together. Dr. Scott has delivered both bad and good news about the health of my teeth, giving advice on how best to care for them all along the way. Most people don't like going to the dentist, but I've had the pleasure of not minding whatsoever for enough years to make me forget why anyone has a problem going. read more

I have been a patient here since April 2007. Been a patient here for over 11 years! Christina and Patricia are the ladies who run the front. Marlene and John are the hygenists. Of course, the one and only Dr. Michelle Scott who is the doctor here. Everyone here is friendly and nice here. I don't pay much out of pocket here thanks to my past and current employers who offer dental insurance. The place is clean including the waiting area. Nice waterfall by the entrance. They do have a restroom in their suite, but I typically do my business in the restroom in the hallway. Eventhough I no longer live in San Marcos, I still drive down here. Plus my parents still live in town. It all works out. Who knows. I may move back to San Marcos someday. Dr. Scott, Marlene and John have been taking care of my teeth all these years. I trust them very much. If you are looking for a trustworthy dentist, look no further and schedule your appointment with them today. read more

I've been going to see Dr. Scott for about 5 years now. She's very nice and is knowledgeable. But I have been able to better bond with my dental hygienist Marlene. She's given me lots of advice on how to take care of my teeth and will answer all of my questions. I only get to see the actual doctor for about 5 minutes at the end of my cleaning check-up. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Scott for over six years. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. She and her staff are all really nice and understanding. My son started going to Marlene for cleanings when he was about 5. He also enjoys the office and staff. Everything is neat and orderly, and I've never had a problem with mine or my son's appointments nor any billing issues. They have a nice waiting area with fountain/waterfall and a wide range of magazines from fashion to surfing to cooking and automotive! Also some toys for younger children to play with. They have always comforted me and been patient with me when I've been worried about the dental work I am having done. (I'm a wimp in the dentist chair!) On occasion, I have been able to be seen within a day or 2 of making an appointment, which was a big help! Again, you won't be disappointed! read more

We recently moved to So Cal and had to find a new dentist. My eight year old daughter had an appointment and left saying it was the best dentist she has ever been to. She absolutely loved the hygienist and I thought they did a great job. Friendly, clean environment and didn't try to upsale us like so many dentists do. read more

Not having slept well, forgot teeth cleaning appointment. Person (she did not identify) called me 10 min past appointment, I apologized & said I could be there in 5, she said my slot had already been filled, I would be charged $25 & I could be placed on call if someone cancels. Before I could respond, she hung up! Stuff happens, I have been recuperating from serious medical issues. This gal was obviously angry. I was perplexed. read more

Dr. Scott is really nice and pleasant and there is no pressure to get work done by anyone, staff or the doctor. The whole experience is very soothing. Only one problem. They are open only 3 days a week. Very hard to get hygienist appointment. You have to get six months in advance and if you can't make it or need to change it. Good luck. (that's why I give them 4 1/2 start not 5) Because of the appointment problem, I went and tried other dentists and was a nightmare (see my other two reviews of dentists). I came back to Dr. Scott's office with tail between my legs. read more

I went to M. Scott because i was trying to find a dentist close to my home. I went in for a cleaning and it was discovered I had to have a root canal & crown put in. This is what the x-rays showed. However, she charged my insurance for the x-rays, cleaning, and tooth extraction. I never got the cleaning or extraction before she sent me to a good orthodontist out near Tri City Hospital who did the extraction & root canal. Dr. Scott's help was slow & confused. I never got the services she charged on my insurance and the front desk never seemed to be clear on what was supposed to happen, and neither was Dr. Scott Needless to say I never went back. I can get screwed by the IRS, I don't need to add a dentist to the list read more

Horrible Horrible Service! Took an entire month for them to call me back about making a bite plate and when they finally did told me I have to pay to get X-rays even though I have already gotten them and they had them on file. Doctor acts like your ignorant when you ask a question. Doesn't have any answers for anything but standard teeth cleaning. Horrible front desk service as well. read more

Received diagnosis of decayed teeth requiring expensive treatments. Went to another dentist for a second opinion and no decay was found.

The hygentst was great but when I needed a crown, forget it. I was left with a large gap between my teeth, and Dr. Scott and she didnt have time to fix it , said come back and she will fix it if it causes me problem.. Like a fool I trusted her and left. YES it caused problems, food got caught everytime I ate! BTW, this cant be "fixed" My older crown next to it has to be replaced to fix the gap because its covered by insurance. And she picked the wrong color for my crown, dark yellow and it doesnt match the rest of my teeth. Bottom line, she fixed one thing and caused me more problems to deal with. read more
