    I've had a few awful experiences at other dental offices and had pretty much given up on finding a…read moregood dentist - I'm so glad to have found Mission Dental. Everyone is so friendly, helpful and professional. Randy is awesome and super patient when dealing with billing/insurance issues. The whole team communicates well and is really good about sending reminders with enough time to reschedule if needed. I recommend this office for anyone with any nervousness or anxiety regarding dental work. Dr. Ordonez is really calm and listens to any concerns I bring up. They have weighted blankets for comfort and to ease anxiety which is such a nice touch. Thank you team! I appreciate you guys.

    I went to Mission Dental Group for a lower premolar filling on Feb 10, 2026 with Dr. Rosa Marie…read moreOrdonez. The visit was because a prior filling had come out while flossing. As a concerned patient, I asked for basic guidance on proper flossing technique so I could avoid this happening again. Dr. Ordonez refused and said that kind of education is "usually for cleanings" and that I should schedule one instead. That felt dismissive given it was directly related to why I was there. During the procedure, an instrument contacted my upper tooth and Dr. Ordonez said "sorry" at the time. That evening, after the numbness wore off, my wife noticed a chip on that upper tooth that wasn't there before. The next morning (Feb 11) I called the office to report it. The practice manager/front desk (Randy) was dismissive and said, "we don't know when we can get you in," and suggested 2 PM. I explained 1 PM was the only time I could make due to work. He said "maybe we can get you in" and wouldn't confirm until I called back again and pushed for it. Before being seen, I told the front desk I was uncomfortable returning to Dr. Ordonez and asked to see a different dentist. That request was refused. During the Feb 11 visit, Dr. Ordonez was defensive and denied responsibility. When I said her instrument hit my tooth the day before and she had said "sorry," she said she didn't remember and would need to "check her notes." I was also told the notes weren't even completed yet, which didn't inspire confidence. When I asked if the edge could be polished, she said she didn't want to because I would "just come back and complain that it's too short." She also said words to the effect of, "I can't help it if you don't take good care of your teeth," which felt like blaming me rather than addressing what happened. The tone was dismissive and confrontational. A small composite repair was placed, but the way this was handled--from the front desk to the dentist--was not professional or patient-centered. I escalated this to the owner, Dr. Growney, and his response was to defend the office and minimize what happened rather than address the conduct, the refusal to let me see another dentist, or the dismissive communication. The overall message was essentially: "We did nothing wrong," which felt like enabling this behavior instead of holding anyone accountable. Mistakes can happen. How you handle them matters. In this case, the defensiveness, refusal to accommodate, and dismissive responses from the dentist, the front desk, and the owner were the real problem. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this practice.

    Similar to another review I read on here, I was able to get x-rays quickly, but when I tried to…read moreschedule a teeth cleaning, it was nearly impossible. After leaving multiple messages on their voicemail and not receiving any call back, I decided to basically berate them with calls one day until someone finally answered and said they would put me on the waitlist because they're completely booked up for the next few months. A few days later I get a call about an opening for a teeth cleaning. I live close by so I decided to ride my bike over and arrived 7 minutes late. Yes, I was a bit late and that's on me, but most medical offices have at least a 10 min grace period. The woman at the front desk said that she had tried to call me (while I was literally biking over) and because I didn't answer, I had to reschedule my appointment. I told her "don't worry about it, I'll find a new dentist". I don't usually leave negative reviews like this, but this whole experience just left a bad taste in my mouth. Hopefully others have a more positive experience.

I suspect they make money on the former and not the latter. I recommend avoiding this place. I left very frustrated.

    I can't believe I have never put in a review for Dr. Gregory Chong…read more He is, by far, the best dentist I have ever had. That is really saying something, considering it has been about 18 years since he was my dentist and I am taking the time to write a review now! Long story short, Dr. Chong was my dentist in the early 2000s and was fantastic. He took plenty of time to be careful in his evaluation of my gums and teeth, and was super precise in his work. I had to get a root canal because of a damaged molar and he did great work. I know this for a fact because A) it's been 19 years and I have never had an issue with the root canal or crown and B) every dentist I have had since has remarked on what a terrific job it was when viewing my x-rays. One even described it as a "work of art." This is a dentist you can trust definitively. He will be conservative in his efforts and take great care.

    This is for Dr. Robert Chong but I'm guessing all three are equally fantastic. Dr. Chong is the…read morebest. UCSF trained, so the skills and expertise is more than there -- absolutely knows his stuff. But he's also lovely, and I love the dental assistants because they're also all wonderfully supportive and kind. I brought my 4 month old (childcare fell through) when I had to get a cavity filled recently (I blame pregnancy) and Dr. Chong and his team were poised, fast, and helpful especially given that I had to drag my little plus one along. We moved down the Peninsula but I can't change dentists because I love Dr. Chong way too much to try anyone new!
