Maria at the front desk is just as wonderful; she greets you by name the moment you walk in and makes the whole process feel personal. Between their thoughtful text communication and their expert clinical care, they make you feel completely at home. You can absolutely trust this team with the most difficult cases.

When I saw that he was in the family business I didn't think twice about making our 1st appointment. My instincts proved to be right. Dr. Eric and his staff did what seemed like the impossible. They got my 4 year old autistic twin boys to have their teeth cleaned and do x-rays all while thinking it was fun! I appreciated how they make the first visit very educational and welcoming for all. One of my boys had to have a tooth pulled. I was nervous about having him awake for the procedure. I didn't think he would sit still. I did not give my son or them enough credit! My son laughed and giggled the entire time while watching his favorite movie and didn't even realize Dr. Eric pulled his tooth until we told him what happened. We just went back 6 months later and my son ran up to the door saying, "Is this where I lost my first tooth?" all smiles. He was excited to go back in! The staff remembered my kids and came in just to say hello. When my son later told his grandmother about his visit he said, "Someone helped me brush my teeth!" The other son kept talking about his x-rays and how he got to see his big boy teeth behind his baby teeth. He thought that was really cool. They both also loved all the toys they earned while being there. I recommend Dr. Eric to all of my friends. They were able to take my twin boys, one of whom wouldn't open his mouth for anyone, and make it an enjoyable experience. 5 stars all around!

TL;DR Toxic Workplace, Engage at your Peril…read more You've gotten this far so you are looking past the heavily curated ratings. Good for you. If you have ever worked in a toxic workplace you will sense it here. No one smiles unless it's time to interact with you. Everyone is on pins and needles because they know the purpose: move as many kids through as possible, as quickly as possible, with as little attention to the individual as possible. They are fundamentally unhappy people, you can tell, when they greet you when they go through their scripted lines to get you moving as quickly as possible. A fake smile here to reassure the unwary. Toxic. It comes out in other ways too. If you ask too many questions, ask for alternatives, discuss what is happening, these are things that slow down the conveyor belt. These are absolutely not greeted with happiness, and can land you in hot water. This horrid, well polished treadmill will not give you the service your child deserves. Go elsewhere.

We first came for my daughter's tongue tie revision shortly after birth. The procedure went fine, but follow ups were only with an OT, not the treating dentist, Dr. Hananvash, until our lactation consultant raised concerns about possible reattachment. The office also recommended post release stretches for only one month, but several lactation consultants told me separately that was too short and could increase reattachment risk. By comparison, my older son had the same procedure at Tongue Tie Team, where we had easy access to the doctor and even her direct number for questions. We later went back for a tongue tie evaluation for my husband and me, and this is where things went badly. Meredith, who handles these consults, told us the office wasn't set up for adult consults, then promised a callback that never came. After I called multiple times over several months, I only learned adult consults were actually offered when the OT mentioned it during my daughter's appointment. Meredith claimed she had call logs showing she'd tried reaching us, but we never received any calls, voicemails, emails, or confirmations, even when I had her test my number live. The intake forms she gave us were also clearly designed for children and mostly didn't apply to us. We were then told we needed to pay $1,000 for a CBCT scan and to book the doctor consults, for both of us. No one mentioned a credit card surcharge. When I saw a charge of $1,030, I asked Meredith about it. Frustrated, I asked to speak with the office supervisor. Instead of connecting me with a manager, Meredith said she'd try to cancel the transaction. When she did, only $1,000 was refunded to my card. A few days later she called to say they'd recently switched credit card processors and couldn't figure out how to refund the $30 fee, so they asked me to pay $970 by debit card instead, which I did. On the day of our 10am appointment, after waiting about 20 minutes, Meredith came out to the lobby and told me, in front of other patients, with no privacy, that the card company said the $30 should have been reversed, and that I needed to pay it before we'd be allowed to see the doctor. I don't understand why payment was being demanded before we'd even seen the doctor in the first place. I pulled up my card's app right there to show her no refund had ever come through. She went back to check with the office manager and eventually let us in. At that point I asked to speak with the office manager directly, given everything that had happened. She came in, said she needed to review the call logs, and offered no apology or acknowledgment of any kind. When Dr. Hananvash finally came in and asked how we were doing, I explained what had happened. She told me I couldn't speak to her staff in a disrespectful or frustrated way. I hadn't yelled or been disrespectful. I was simply expressing frustration with how things had been handled. She insisted her staff had told us about the 3% surcharge before the card was charged, which is simply not true. My husband was present that day too and never heard any mention of a surcharge. She also said they could prove they'd tried calling me multiple times, but I never received a call, voicemail, email, or even an appointment confirmation. Even when I repeatedly told her I never received the $30 credit back from the credit card company, she didn't believe me. She wasn't willing to consider that we were telling the truth, and said if we didn't want treatment, we didn't have to proceed. At no point did she apologize for the staff's handling of things or for starting the appointment 20+ minutes late. We proceeded that day since we'd already waited months and wanted to start therapy, but I've since decided to find another provider. Because of this experience, I now have to find someone else, pay more money, and delay treatment further. I understand adult tongue tie providers are limited in San Diego, but that doesn't mean patients should accept unprofessional treatment because of it. A knowledgeable doctor doesn't make up for a practice that dismisses patient concerns instead of learning from them. Avoid this practice.

Their kindness, patience, professionalism, and knowledge were evident from start to finish. They took the time to do a thorough exam, explained everything clearly, and made sure we felt informed and comfortable every step of the way.

I am extremely upset and honestly shocked by the level of care we received at this office…read more I brought my almost 6-year-old son, who has a disability, in because his face was swollen, his mouth smelled bad, and he had a fever. It was very obvious he had a serious dental issue, likely an infection. Instead, we were seen by someone named Soha Hemmat, who introduced herself as a doctor, but based on this experience, I seriously question her competence. She spent less than two minutes examining my son. No thorough check, no concern, no effort. She dismissed everything as "just a virus," told us to brush his teeth and give him Tylenol, and walked out like the situation didn't matter. That was completely wrong -- and dangerously negligent. My son's fever continued, and his condition did not improve. We had to contact his actual doctor and take him back to be seen again just six hours later. He was properly examined and diagnosed with a clear infection, and immediately given antibiotics. This could have gotten much worse because of her careless and dismissive attitude. I have been coming to this office for four years and have always had professional experiences, which makes this even more disappointing. But this encounter was unacceptable. No parent -- especially one with a child who has special needs -- should be brushed off like this. This office seriously needs to address this situation. Either provide proper training or reevaluate who they allow to treat patients, because this level of incompetence and lack of care is not just unprofessional -- it's dangerous. Be very careful if you are seen by this person.
