This office can only work with children who can be put under medication. My child went to my own dentist and had cavities filled with no drama or medication needed and we had a gentle and caring experience. My doctor retired and we had to find him a new doctor. This is our 2nd time at a pediatric office where they just don't know how to respect a child and treat them with force. My kid had water filled in his mouth and raised his hand because he needed a break. Instead of respecting that and stopping, they told him "just a minute more". Then when he tried to sit up because his mouth was full of water they pushed him back down. This is not how we should be treating children. I would not recommend this office unless you plan to sedate your child, in which case you may have a great experience.

Dr. Paulerio is very knowledgeable and took the time to share helpful information about mouthguards for TMJ, which made me feel confident in the care I'm receiving.

I am submitting this complaint to formally report unethical billing practices by the dental office…read moreassociated with a disputed dental charge of approximately $300. I want to be clear that the quality of clinical care itself is not the issue; my concerns relate solely to billing conduct, transparency, and the handling of insurance-related disputes. After receiving care, I submitted the claim to my dental insurance provider. The claim required escalation and is currently under active review by the insurer. This process was communicated clearly and in good faith, and I have documentation, including a claim number, demonstrating that the charge is under legitimate insurance review, not ignored or refused. Despite this: The office pursued payment while the insurance claim was unresolved asking for "just a small payment" while they wait. The matter was escalated to a third-party collector before insurance determination There appears to be no reasonable accommodation for standard insurance dispute timelines There was no transparent explanation of why the bill was deemed immediately collectible rather than pending insurance resolution Patients should not be pressured to pay balances that are actively under insurance review, particularly when the provider is aware that the insurer is evaluating coverage or reimbursement. This practice places patients in an unfair position--either paying out-of-pocket prematurely or being threatened with collections while complying with standard insurance procedures. Further, the billing escalation process appears to lack: Appropriate verification that insurance review was complete Ethical safeguards before referral to collections Clear written communication outlining patient rights during an insurance dispute While I respect the clinicians and the care I received, billing practices are part of patient care and ethical responsibility. Referring a patient to collections under these circumstances undermines trust and may violate professional and consumer standards. I am requesting that this matter be reviewed for: Compliance with ethical billing standards Appropriate handling of insurance-pending balances Policies regarding referral to collections Oversight of third-party billing or collection agents acting on the practice's behalf I am submitting this complaint in good faith to ensure accountability and to prevent similar experiences for other patients. edit: Owner responded - yes, this is for this business Lil Smile Dr. Toppi. I am also a healthcare provider and I know this is 100% unethical. They did send me to collections for $300 while my insurance was escalated. I did pay the $300 (minus paying the "interest fees" - another unethical practice!) while my insurance worked on it out of fear. It is sad way to treat patients and other people deserve to know about these unethical practices.

Every time someone I know mentions that they're looking for a dentist (which happens a lot, since San Diego is so transient and I'm constantly meeting people who have recently moved here), I'm quick to recommend Ocean Beach Dental! I originally checked them out on a friend's recommendation after she found them on Yelp, so it's high time I wrote my own Yelp review. Since I'm one of those lucky people who has never had cavities (or really any dental issues to speak of, at least not yet), I'm mostly just here for cleanings. However, I did opt to get retainers and later Invisalign with OB Dental, which was a positive experience. One thing I really like is that the office has evening hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays (until 7pm), which is helpful with a 9-5 work schedule. Also, Dr. Aaron is personable and caring. He always answers my questions thoroughly and makes sure I feel good about the next steps before he moves onto the next patient. This is a family practice, and they're easy to work with and schedule appointments with. My dental health and hygiene have greatly improved in the time that I've been regularly coming here. Couldn't recommend highly enough!
