I went to see Dr Gregg last summer (2025) because I had a sinus infection infection and upper R…read more molar #14 was suspected as the cause by the oral surgeon. She did an exam and did X-rays and made notations in my chart that tooth #4 needed watching. She took a 3 month sabbatical and then sold her practice to Dr Wong. I started seeing Dr Wong in late January/February of this year 2026 and went in for a cleaning & he said I needed a crown on bottom R. As he prepped me for the crown on my lower R halfway through this process he said the adjacent tooth looked like it needed a crown also. My new dental insurance allowed 2 major procedures per year and he quickly used my insurance and I told him this after the crowns were in place and he replied the next time I come in he' needed to work on tooth which had decay. After having had sinus surgery September 2025 I knew that there was definitely a communication between upper L molar tooth #14 and this was causing the sinus infection that I had for over one year and the sinus infection was not clearing despite months of antibiotics. By this time I was having pain in soft tissue around tooth #14. I made an appointment in June 2026 to have this tooth worked on and shortly later the dental assistant started to prep tooth #4 on upper right! I was shocked and upset and told her this is not the tooth that has been bothering me and I need to see Dr Wong immediately. The assistant apologized this was a typo and tooth to be worked on is #14 and not #4. Dr Wong started to work on this tooth & upon removal of its crown dark viscous fluid emerged indicating an infection for some time. He removed as much decay as he could and said he could do another crown, but he didn't think it would last more than a year or two if I wanted to proceed. OMG! I was shocked! This decayed tooth already had created an opening into my sinus yet he asked if I wanted another crown. I told him NO! He sent me to two oral surgeons one of whom doesn't accept my dental insurance. When I asked him about the mixup with #4 vs #14 he said he treated me no differently than how he treats all his patients. I do not recommend this dentist! If he haphazardly treats all his dental clients as he treated me by ignoring a painful tooth and choosing to work on other teeth before processing the real tooth in need I have to say do not go to this dentist. There's a lack of communication, professional conduct, and trust.

I had an excellent experience at Elevated Smiles. My veneer unexpectedly came off, and since my…read moreregular dentist was closed, I started calling around hoping someone could help. Elevated Smiles welcomed me in the same day without an appointment, and I couldn't be more grateful. The entire team was warm, professional, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. The dentist was incredibly thorough--he didn't just reattach the veneer, he carefully checked to make sure my teeth and gums were healthy first. He even told me that he treats every patient's teeth as if they were his own, and it was obvious he truly meant it. It's rare to find a practice that combines skill, honesty, and genuine compassion the way Elevated Smiles does. They turned what could have been a stressful day into a great experience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist who truly cares about their patients. Thank you again for your outstanding care!

I would highly recommend Elevated Smiles to others that are looking for a dentist.

After speaking with few receptionists and leaving bunch of messages at various dental offices, it was such a pleasant surprise to speak to Toni at San Elijo Pediatric Dentistry. Toni was very professional, friendly and helpful. She took my our information and gave us appointments during my first call. She sent me a link to fill out the forms online. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the two lovely ladies in the front. One of them was Toni and it was a pleasure to meet her. I found out that on days that they accept adult patients, they don't have children scheduled. The reception area is large with many comfortable seating options to wait. The back area is very clean and well designed for our comfort. The television is in the ceiling for when they work on you, you can watch television. Leandra took my X-ray and did my cleaning. She is super nice, professional and attentive. I hope she'll be the one when I come in for my next cleaning. Dr. Hansen was very welcoming, professional and explained what needs to be done. She was very thorough and informative. I wasn't ready to get the few things she suggested to be worked on. She gave me the list of the items to tackle upon next trip. It was a very pleasant experience and I'm glad that they do accept adult patients as well. Looking forward to getting my teeth fixed and kept healthy in this location.

I chose this practice because I wanted a dentist who continuously trains herself and her staff in the current technology to do the very best for your mouth and teeth. And the staff is very kind and professional. Good dental work is NOT cheap. They do take insurance (though we all know dental insurance - these days - does not pay for much!) and you can get a Care Credit account and then pay off the total in 6 or 12 months, with zero interest. I highly recommend this dental practice.

They wanted to fill or re-fill half of my mouth, deep root planing throughout, and on and on...amazingly, the exact same treatment plan they recommended to my friend who had just gone to them, around $4K in treatment, which is a lot now let alone back then. Front desk staff refused to give me a copy of the plan breakdown and costs of this extensive treatment stating that I "might go somewhere else to compare"...really?? Would that be a bad thing? And they kept telling me if money was a problem, not to worry as they worked in conjunction with a credit card company...who charged 23% interest. I passed on that treatment plan and saw a different dentist within a year after, who was shocked when I told him what they were recommending. I've never before and never since had so much work recommended, just regular cleanings, a filling here, a crown there. I've used three dentists since then and not one has ever recommended such and extensive and expensive treatment plan. It is very sad when medical providers take on the approach of commission-based salesmen. Sad indeed. Perhaps they've changed their approach in their new location...but I'm not wasting the time finding out.

Wish I could sue this practice!! If any malpractice attorneys are in the reviews, please feel free…read moreto reach out to me. I started seeing this dentist over two years ago, I should say practice because their retention rate with dentist here is HORRIFIC. I've had four separate dentist's in a two year time period. I went in for a simple cleaning, was told I had a cavity, was given an enclave. Of which I needed to have replaced four separate times because of how poorly they placed it. My wife went to also have a simple cleaning. They told her the root of one of her teeth was infected. To be specific was having mercury seep into her bloodstream. She had silver fillings. The dentist proceeded to remove such silver and cause a crack in my wife's tooth. Then try to refer her out to an oral surgeon to have the tooth extracted. None of which was covered under our insurance. Upon a second visit with x-rays to a separate dentist shout out DeAngelis family dentistry for being phenomenal!! They are located off Palomar Airport Road. It was explained to me that my first dentist straight out lied. There was no issue with the root of my wife's tooth. In fact, the tooth and the root was perfectly healthy. He just wanted a large out of pocket payment!! Upon calling to have the issue fixed with the first dentist BC THATS HOW INSURANCE WORKS!! We were told the dentist she saw, was not available to fix the problem because he had left the country. True story. The owner of the practice refused to refund me my money. He instead had another dentist correct the first mistake, of which they made my wife wait an hour to be seen. That's 3 hours total of her workday she had to take off to fix a problem that they created, and caused more issues with! THEY ARE CROOKS!

Never once my previous dentist asked me to do a deep cleaning. I asked La Costa Dentistry to send me my Xray and photos and went to a different dentist office for a second opinion.

We aren't familiar with the area, and my daughter was hysterical and clearly in pain. We walked into the lobby around 6:00 p.m. and stood there for quite a while because the front desk was completely unattended. Eventually, a staff member walked out, seemingly unable to read the room. She stared at us with a glazed-over expression and an odd smile. She asked what was wrong, and I explained that my daughter had injured her hand and needed an X-ray. She responded, verbatim: "He's busy right now but will be out soon." Who is "he"? A doctor? A provider? We had no idea. She then disappeared into the back without having us check in, collect our information, or fill out any paperwork, leaving us standing alone in the empty lobby. After waiting even longer, I called the front desk from my phone, hoping it would prompt someone to come out. The phone rang twice with no answer. I called again, and the same employee answered with, "Hi, how may I help you?" I said, "I'm standing in the lobby. Is anyone going to help us?" There wasn't a single other patient in the waiting room. She finally came back out and asked what insurance we had--which they accepted--but continued moving at an incredibly slow pace. At that point, I asked, "Can you tell me where there's a real urgent care?" We left and went to Scripps instead, where my daughter received prompt, professional care. This was one of the most bizarre and frustrating healthcare experiences I've ever had. If your child has an urgent injury, I would not recommend coming here. Definitely a scam!

On June 21, 2025, I visited Avalon Laser to treat a few facial spider veins after seeing the…read moredoctor's work on social media and reading positive Google reviews. What I expected to be a routine cosmetic procedure unfortunately resulted in a much more difficult outcome for me (photos attached). Shortly after the treatment, leaky blisters formed, and about a week later they developed into scabs on the treated areas. When the scabs eventually came off, many areas appeared indented and concerning. During virtual follow-up consultations, I was told the healing process appeared to be normal. However, my skin continued to worsen, and I later sought care at an emergency room, where the injuries were documented as burns and I was referred for dermatologic follow-up. Avalon Laser offered additional treatment options, including a CO laser session or microneedling at their facility, and also suggested that I see a dermatologist in the Los Angeles area. I did undergo one CO laser session with Avalon Laser, but I ultimately decided not to continue treatment at the clinic because I no longer felt comfortable proceeding there. To their credit, the clinic checked in with me virtually on a regular basis and offered encouragement during the healing process. However, my recovery has been much longer and more challenging than I expected based on how my skin appeared. Since then, I have consulted with several specialists and undergone multiple treatments in an effort to improve my skin. The recovery process has been lengthy, painful, and uncertain. The clinic refunded the cost of the original treatment, which I appreciated, but it has not come close to covering the many additional medical visits, treatments, medications, and skincare products I have needed since then. The emotional impact has also been very difficult. For weeks I struggled to sleep and often cried at night. I became withdrawn and stopped seeing friends because I felt embarrassed about my appearance. What began as a simple cosmetic procedure has turned into a long and ongoing recovery. I attempted to pursue compensation through legal counsel and sent a demand letter, but I did not receive a response. I also followed up by email without success. I am sharing my personal experience so that others can be aware and carefully consider their options before undergoing treatment. See the full story and more photos on my page: avalon-laser-review.com
