Loved coming here the last few visits! Everyone is very sweet and welcoming. They definitely know what they're doing and love explaining everything to you so you know what exactly is going on whether it be your teeth or insurance or any future procedures you will need and how much it will cost so you will be prepared. I'm glad I finally found good trusting dentists and hygienists! read more

Since covid started, I was already overdue for my cleaning but was hesitant to schedule for awhile. I was also in search of a new dental office. I found this office because of the great reviews and they also take my dental insurance. The lady in the front office, Tracy, was very nice and professional helping me with my insurance and getting me scheduled. Dr. Kim was exceptional and so kind during my exam. She really takes her time with you! Monica did my cleaning and did a wonderful job while being extremely gentle! Thank you to this great team, I highly highly recommend them! P.S. The hygienist's rooms have massage chairs, which was heavenly during a cleaning! read more

Dr. Igor Lantsberg followed Dr. Joel Altshul's work by shaping and building up my tooth root for, first a temporary, then a permanent crown. Since the decay looked extensive on the x-ray, he thought there might not be enough root left, and he might have to establish a peg to support the crown, but there was enough root left. Like Dr. Altshul, Dr. Lantsberg worked quickly, painlessly, and with a great deal of consideration. Also highly recommended! read more

Not recommended. Unnecessary treatment by dentist (not Dr. Tasto but another female dentist). I like the hygienist and assistants though. They are kind and respectful. read more

I had my first visit to Scripps West Dental. Everyone was very friendly and professional. The staff was all very helpful. I liked that Dr Tasto addressed my concerns and answered my questions. He also brought up a few things for me to look out for. I felt like the staff members all cared for my oral health! read more

Been coming here for years and have to Thank everyone for always being so nice and friendly. Always a great experience. I never feel like they want to sell me something which some Dental places do have that reputation. High five to the front desk folks! Keep up the great work! read more

The best dental care I have ever experienced! I have been to other dentists with the dental problems (for over 2 years), but never got the problem solved. A friend suggested me to see Dr. Tasto. The best decision I ever made. I have medical conditions, and was really worried to visit dentist office during the pandemic. This office is extremely clean, and they follow the CDC guidelines. The doctor fixed my dental issues within 3 visits. They don't keep you waited longer. The dental assistants have very friendly attitude; they work with perfection. Kelly is the best professional dental hygienist EVER!! She is very dedicated, and sincere to her work. She is very passionate, and makes sure her patients understand the importance of dental hygiene. Their front desk staff are very welcoming, and excellent multitaskers. The professionalism and friendliness of the whole team is outstanding!! read more

Dr. Kim is such a friendly and caring dentist... I feel so lucky to have found this dental office! Monica, my hygienist, was so gentle and did a very thorough job with my cleaning. The entire front desk staff is welcoming and efficient. I usually have anxiety going to the dentist, and I am actually excited for my next cleaning here! Thanks to the whole team for taking such good care of me... my teeth are sparkling! read more

I used to see Dr. Johnson at this office, he retired. I now see Dr. Tasto and he is great! Super patient, always answers my million questions and has a very calming way about him. He is also very funny and always has me laughing even when I am getting some dental work done. He also makes sure I am always comfortable and I dont feel any pain. I love my girls at this office too! Monica my hygienist is awesome and Jasmin, Gladys and Sara are amazing! More like my extended family! They make going to the dentist not so horrible! read more

I went here for years and was preyed upon with lots of work that was unnecessary and has and will result in lots of future issues (per my new dentist who asked why I had so much work done which was unnecessary). When I cracked a tooth and ran out of insurance, they didn't care and charged for full price after paying them thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars. Once I finally told them I was done with their deceptive practices, I was called and shaked down for the final $600 I"owed" them. Predatory dentist. Be careful. read more

Best. Dentist. Ever! Excellent hygienists also. The office has a good vibe to it. A lot of that has to do with dr. Tasto's upbeat personality. I've had a ton of work done over the years: crown, cavities, implants. They were all expertly done. And most important, no pain! read more

I have been going to this office for as long as I can remember. I actually enjoy my visits due to the friendly and helpful staff. Dr. Tasto is very helpful and explains procedures very clearly. I go in at least three times a year for cleanings to keep my teeth and gums in tip top shape. My hygienist is Monica. She is very good at helping me understand how to take care of my teeth between cleanings and has encouraged me to develop good dental habits. She is the best! Great office, you should give them a try. I think you will be very pleased! read more

I had my first visit with Dr Tasto and his team. It was an amazing experience. Everyone was so friendly and personable. The experience was patient focused. Beginning with Dr Tasto talking with me. Building a rapport and making me feel comfortable. My hygienist was was skilled and professional. She was also personable. Again very patient focused. I walked away feeling that I made an excellent choice. I would recommend Dr Tasto and his team to anyone who has had a less than positive dental experience. I look forward to going back for my next visit. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Kim for years! She makes you feel so comfortable during those dreaded dental appointments. Dr. Tasto and his entire team are wonderful and the office is so warm and welcoming. I will refer all my coworkers and friends and family to this dental office. read more

I'm actually writing this review for the above and beyond care and customer service of Jasmine at the front desk. The first time I went in, I was greated by her smiling face and that made me feel at ease. I've been in a few times now and every time, the same smile gives me the same comforting feeling. She absolutely went out of her way to answer all my questions and even helped me solve a personal problem. She demonstrates her genuine concern for patients. Thank you Jasmine!! You rock! read more

I have been a patient of Dr Tasto since shortly after I moved here in 2007. His office was a welcome relief. When a person moves they worry that they will not find things as good as what took years to find. But this office is run well. The staff is very caring, knowledgeable, and professional. Dr Tasto is the "Best." No one ever talks you into a procedure or pressures you into anything. Everything is explained and thoroughly discussed with you and your care in mind. Over these years I have really felt secure in the knowledge that I am getting the best care. Please give them a chance to take care of your Dental needs. You will not be unhappy. read more

doctor James Tasto was amazing and so compassionat!

Of all the dentists I've had over the years, I have to say that I like Dr. Tasto the best! He is honest, thorough and super friendly. I love that when I have to have something unpleasant done (like a filling) he and his staff tackle it efficiently, painlessly and it's done before I know it! Drs. Tasto and Johnson run a VERY efficient and modern dental office. Their staff is super friendly and helpful. The hygienists spend a lot of time when they clean your teeth. read more

I had a massive toothache that needed work done and my regular dentist was unreachable due to the pandemic. After my husband and I painstakingly searched for any dental office that was open and taking new patients with urgent dental cases, I was referred to this office. Let me tell you, if you are looking for a dentist.. EVERYONE that works at this dental office is great. Within two weeks I made 4 visits to see them so I became very familiar with their work environment. During the span of this time I spoke the most to Tracy and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her. She is so professional and so, so kind. I was so lucky to have her next to me during the most difficult parts of my procedure. She was constantly asking if I was doing okay and she was even patting my arm when I was getting injected with lidocaine. Speaking as a healthcare working myself, those are the things that patients never forget. But like I said, EVERYONE in this team is amazing. Thank you Scripps West Dental for making my dental emergency so positive and memorable. read more

Our family just transferred to Scripps West Dental and are extremely happy with the move. Everyone is very helpful, informative, and welcoming. The office atmosphere is very easy-going and we never feel rushed or pressured. read more

Best Dentist hands down. From customer service to the actual work itself. I personally hate going to the dentist but they made my experience a great one. For sure making this my permanent dentist office. read more

This unprofessional "dentist" tried to sell me some very expensive toothpaste ($20/tube) when I was complaining of tooth ache. I went on vacation soon after and was in tremendous pain and unable to eat and chew on one side. When I returned, I ended up going to see an endodontist for a very expensive root canal. If he had done his job, not selling me useless toothpaste, I would have only needed a filling and could have enjoyed my vacation. Never again! read more

Dr. Tasto - Amazing!!!!!! The Staff members are all Team Players - from the receptionist to the Office Manager to the Assistants and especially the Hygenists! Have always hated the dental office until I moved here and found Dr. Tasto - very gentle, great with kids and "Big Kids"! You won't be disappointed! read more

One of my teeth was bothering me for over a year. My old dentist keep saying it looks fine and don't worry about it. Of course, it started when he fixed a cavity. Dr. Tasto found the infection right away. After a quick root canal which leaves no discomfort or pain, I'm convinced that he is as good as it gets. He explains everything before and during the process. The best part of all is that there is no pain during the anesthesia shot. read more

Dr. Tasto is a very good dentist. He is skilled in what he does. I am amazed at how he can get the shots done without any pain. He has a great way of distracting you while he performs the injection. The work is quality. The results are painless. I've had a few fillings and a crown. In each repair, he always gives you the full situation, options, and best recommendation. I've noticed he will tell you it's going to hurt for some time and then get better. I've never had any residual pain last more than a few hours. The doctor also advised that one tooth filling was very close to a root canal, and that it wasn't looking like the filling would be the end of the problem, but he would try his best. That was nearly 3 years ago, and the filling is fine, and the tooth is still there, looking good. No root canal! Yay. I like that he underestimates his skill and outcome. Better than the alternative. My only gripe is the prices are a bit high. There's the up-sell on work, and he doesn't cut you a break. My wife had some cosmetic work done by Dr. Tasto, and the outcome is really good. We did have an issue with a veneer being off color a bit, and it was caught and before it was even cemented in place. Not all dentist would stop the procedure and say that it isn't right and will need to re-ordered from the lab. While it delayed the finished result, the catch was good; and saved my wife from having to see it was wrong, complain, and then fix the issue. read more

My parents have been coming to Dr. Tasto for many years. The staff and Dr. Tasto are wonderful. They made me feel very at ease. I highly recommend coming to this dental office... read more

I've been seeing Dr. Tasto for a while and he's always been good to me. Nice friendly staff too :)

I broke a crown and scheduled to have it replaced. The friendly and helpful office staff got me in quickly. This was the easiest and smoothest experience i have ever had. Dr. Jim and his staff delivered a perfect and painless crown in less than two hours. I love the new technology allowing for a single office visit! Thanks read more

Dr Tasto and his staff were amazing and very helpful.. they made it comfortable for me and made sure my insurance covered most of what needs to be done, maximizing my benefits.. no wait at all, I have a very busy schedule so they made my appointments around my schedule.. thank you Scripps West Dental! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Johnson's since 1995. He and his team are excellent. I am new to Yelp, so that is why I haven't reviewed til now. I have always had anxiety going to dentists until I started at Scripps. The staff is caring and highly skilled. I want to say "thank you" to everyone that works there! read more

Let me just begin by saying I hate going to the dentist, but I absolutely love Dr. Tasto and his staff. I was referred by a co-worker went in for xrays, had a few old fillings fixed, had my teeth cleaned, and had them whitened with Zoom and am extremely satisfied with the time they take to explain things and address your issues/concerns rather than just rushing on to the next patient. They are also very flexible as I am only able to come in the evening or early morning due to my work schedule and they are always able to get me an appointment. I recommend all of my family and friends to him. read more
