Everyone in office is professional & nice & they do good work. Monica Palusso is top notch Dentist

My family has been going to Dr. C. for many years. I really appreciate the wonderful care that I have received and also I enjoy having a wonderful established relationship relat with all these women. It's also very refreshing to go into an all female medical practice. I think that's one of the things I love most of all is I feel happy and confident that I receive great care. read more

They're considerate, and they remember you when you ask to be on a wait list when the current list is full.

I was looking for a new dentist when my co-worker said that her dentist was the best. I was thinking yeah right sure but I made an appointment and everything seemed okay at first. It's been a little while since I been to my last dentist so I definitely needed some work done. Luckily I have insurance so I really didn't have to come out of pocket too much. I had to get a few cavities taken care of and the staff here is very friendly so that helps. Anyway the dentist is SO gentle everytime she works on my teeth. My co-worker just may be right about Monica being the best dentist. Also the lady who I forgot her name that cleans my teeth is wonderful and she is also very gentle!!! I need to get my wisdom teeth pulled but I need to go to a specialist for that. I would rather have the wonderful staff at Monica's do it but she can't do everything unfortunately. I'm so happy that I found Monica and staff because I've heard so many horror stories about other dentists. read more

Now I'm just at home patiently awaiting my appt time for wisdom extraction.. Thank you Dr. Palusso read more

Their fees are reasonable and they have never attempted to sell me services that I don't need. Recently, a friend of mine came to Oceanside and had a dental emergency. Dr. Palusso immediately fit him into her schedule and resolved the problem. Alan S. read more

I need a new dentist, so I turned to Yelp to see who had good reviews. This dentist had mostly good reviews and is close to my apartment. I checked their website and the internet but nowhere did it state where this dentist went to dental school. Four days ago I emailed the office to find out where she graduated from and I haven't heard back. Interesting. Fail. read more

I am not a fan of going to the dentist, but Dr. Palusso and her entire staff were so nice, that it was totally fine (won't ever say oh boy, I get to go to the dentist today!!!).

This dental office was recommended to me by a close friend and I was starting to struggle with pain so I finally went. I'm so glad I did.

I really can't recommend enough. read more

Dr. Chapokas has been my dentist since she took over Dr. Smith's practice. All her staff is well trained. They really keep you comfortable and you can trust them with that they need to do to make your teeth healthy. I come from San Diego to go to her practice. You travel whatever it takes to get the best. I've been at this practice for about 12 years. My other dentist retired and was suffering from Cancer. So, it was very sad. This practice is great. Come check them out! Tell them I sent you! read more

I had my first appointment at this office today and I was very impressed. Everyone in this office was super nice! The Dr. and hygienist were extremely knowledgeable and explained things very clearly to me.

I even scheduled my next cleaning appointment now so I don't forget. Thank you all for a great experience! read more

Dr. Palusso creates a warm and welcoming environment and you tell the office staff genuinely works well together. Everything is clean and the office is extremely reliable and professional.

For hating going to the dentist (who does?) They make it as comfortable as possible.

She's amazing! My Dad was a dentist so once he stopped practicing I went through a bunch of terrible dentists and experiences until I found Dr. Chapokas. I just had a filling done with no numbing stuff. She's the best! And has renewed my trust in dentists! Definitely trustworthy! And she's a mom so she gets it! read more

I was in serious pain! They got me in their office same day and diagnosed my problem. What a great service they have provided me!

I was in need of two crowns and was seeing a dentist who was out of my network. After getting a pre approval for the work it was clear I needed to find an in network dentist. The hygienist at the original office said she worked with Monica and she was a very good dentist My wife and I have now seen her on multiple occasions including my two crowns. We are very pleased with our decision. Everyone at her office has been great. She has gained my confidence that she is indeed a very good dentist and seeing her for dental services was a great recommendation and we are very pleased read more

This is bay far the best dentist I have EVER been to. What sucks is I can only give them 5 stars instead of 10!! Thank you guys for everything and see you again soon. read more

I can't say enough good things about this dental office. I've had a lifelong phobia of the dentist thanks to some bad experiences in childhood and adolescence, and the staff here has changed all that. They are kind, patient, and gentle, and most of hygienists are really friendly and funny! I had an appointment yesterday for a cleaning and exam and didn't have childcare - I brought my 3 month old baby and one of the ladies (thanks Lauren!) watched him for the entire 1hr15min appt, which was a Godsend. They are great at explaining things well and making accommodations for budget and payment plans, and if you're looking for a dentist in the Oceanside/Vista area, definitely go here! read more
