It was my first time coming to this dental office, which is located in a newer medical building attached to Sharp Hospital. Everything from social distance markings on the elevator floors to the receptionist wearing a mask, made me feel comfortable but I was still nervous as hell. Most people: "I don't like going to the dentist but Me: I have anxiety and a true fear of the dentist and needles, etc, that causes me to be nervous wreck the moment I even think about going, let alone actually sitting in the dentist chair. My ROOT CANAL experience. Dr. Sugita was AMAZING. I usually wear headphones with volume up so I can't hear anything. Dr. Sugita's calm voice and the methodical way he requested the next tool he needed was soothing and actually calmed me down. I'm not exaggerating this, but I DID NOT FEEL A THING! Not even the initial shot of novocaine, not the ones after. I usually feel everything and while the pain isn't much, it's the thought of the needle that gets me. The Doctor and his assistant were efficient and I was done in no time at all. In short, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. SUGITA

So grateful for this office - they were all helpful and nice. I'll be honest he did not talk much, he's kinda in and out but I'm fine with that! He's a great oral surgeon

Dr. Stettler did not have good bedside manner with me. He was gruff and sarcastic. Does not like to answer questions. Spoke to me like I was stupid. During my actual surgery, they struggled to put the IV in my arm, leaving me with a lot of bruises on both arms. As I was being put under, it was chaos! No counting down calmly. The doctor was loud, lots of movement, he cut his hand on a sharp tooth of mine and was audibly upset about it. That's not the way someone should go under anesthesia for the first time! The procedure took much longer than expected but they did not provide any updates to my worried wife and mother both waiting in the lobby. When they finally were informed I was freaking out from the anesthesia when I woke up, they refused to let either of them come talk to me despite me begging as I knew it would calm me down. My family was wearing masks (covid) and were calm. There was no reason to refuse our request. When I finally did calm down, I was extremely nauseous. They didn't want to give me zofran and my mom actually had to call later in the day to push for them to prescribe it, as I was vomiting a lot when I got home. They did prescribe it, but it was confusing they didn't just do it to start. I did the follow-up and it was fine. I also would caution potential patients to read the business' response to reviews here. They teeter the line of HIPPA to save face, rather than accepting the feedback and providing more generalized responses to discuss privately. Before they say I wasn't a patient -- my legal name is Christine.

I will say that his dental work was very good, his bedside manor was the worst of anybody I working in the medical or dental care field I have ever seen. If your mouth started to close a little while he was working, instead of just saying "Open", he would jam an instrument into your gum. If your head was not in the perfect position he would jerk it where he wanted. I have never had any dentist come close to doing the crap he pulled. I just assumed he was bitter and was taking it out on his patients. Hopefully he will find some peace in retirement. Thanks for the heads up, not!!!!

I drove from Los Angeles to La Mesa to see Dr. Paul Michels and the team at Cardinal Dental, and…read moreit was 100% worth it. The process took about four months because they are incredibly thorough and make sure each tooth fits perfectly and heals properly. I came in with multiple broken/missing teeth thinking some couldn't be saved, but I was wrong. They have payment plans available if needed. All options are discussed beforehand. The entire team was kind, attentive, and always checked in about comfort, fit, and color. They truly want you to leave happy. I was given clear instructions on how to care for my new smile, and the results have been life-changing. I feel more confident, have a full set of beautiful teeth, and no longer worry about smiling. If you're considering an implant or crown, this is your sign. Highly recommend Cardinal Dental. I'm including some before & after photos.

He immediately prioritized my surgery despite his demanding schedule and treated me with compassion, honesty, and urgency from day one. The recovery process has been long, but Dr. K has supported me every step of the way and helped restore both my health and my smile.

Once the procedure was over, I noticed that his staff (Mike and Mechalle) was very caring and highly professional. Everyone prepared me for the possibility of pain and discomfort once the anesthesia wore off. However, after the oral surgery, my son took a five-hour nap and woke up as if nothing had happened; no pain, no side effects, and no complications at all. I was honestly amazed. My teenager even expressed that he was expecting the worst, but he did not feel any pain, even days afterward. Dr. Paul is also extremely responsible of his work and compassionate with his patients. He personally called afterward to check on how my son was feeling, which tells a lot about him. During our follow-up consultation, he took the time to answer every question thoroughly and explain everything from a professional perspective. Overall, I feel completely confident recommending Dr. Paul Koshgerian to anyone needing oral surgery care, in which I already have referred him to my coworker. It is rare to find doctors who are this passionate, skilled, caring, and responsible. I truly hope he continues his amazing work for many years to come. Wishing him nothing but the best. Thank you so much to give my son this amazing experience!

I had lost several front teeth and needed implants, and Dr. Wachtel handled the whole process with such warmth and compassion that it made an overwhelming situation feel manageable. She clearly cared about getting the outcome right -- not just functionally, but in a way that restored my confidence. Dr. Wachtel has since moved on, and the staff from my time there has likely turned over completely -- but what impressed me recently is that the current team was just as wonderful. When I reached out years later needing help obtaining my old records for an ongoing medical case, they were responsive, helpful, and went out of their way to assist me without hesitation. That kind of continuity of care and genuine helpfulness -- even for a patient from years ago with a completely different team -- says a lot about the culture this practice has maintained. Highly recommend.
