I would not recommend him at all. He took a big chunk out of my tongue during a crown removal. The assistant blamed it on my tongue moving around during the procedure. I said, so the next patient is going to be told that there is a good chance a chunk of tongue will be taken out during a crown removal? They finally decided to use a tongue depressor to hold my tongue down and keep my tongue out of the way. Their excuse was that they did not anticipate the movement. What is this, the first time they have done this? Then the assistance kept running out of the office to get things. Why were they not prepared for all the tools and items they needed before I got there? There were more issues but I'm only going to concentrate on two: the chunk of tongue they took out and the disorganization. I'm not going back until Dr. Nguyen comes back.

I called Dr. Miner's office on Monday afternoon and the doctor agreed to see me Tuesday morning for consultation and possible surgery. He was able to do the surgery and remove both teeth with the speed I comfort I never experience before. It was just "top, top and pull" and the tooth was gone. Wow, it was amazing and Dr. Miner is amazing and absolutely the best! Today, I'm still doing great, no pain and no bleeding! I think Dr. Miner is the best oral surgeon in the San Diego area. He is also supper nice and made me feel comfortable and safe before and during the procedure. I was very, very scared but he was able to calm me down and still performed the surgery without sedation. In fact, the whole team in doctor Miner's office is super nice and welcoming.

She's kind, reassuring, and didn't dismiss my fears. She took the time to answer every question and made sure I was okay. The follow-ups afterward were just as impressive. I needed a crown at the second appointment. They knocked everything out in one visit. No temporary crown, no coming back, no extra hassle. I'll happily trade an extra hour for having to rearrange my schedule for a second appointment. A huge shout-out to the front office staff. Instead of just running my insurance (and credit card!) and calling it a day, they actually worked to find the most cost effective option for me. The fact they played the "Insurance Game" (which is the worst game ever invented) shows that they care. The office is clean and incredibly organized. Scheduling was easy, and despite being a busy practice, everything felt well run. A couple of minor drawbacks: they're definitely on the pricier side, but I truly think the quality of care and convenience justify it. Also, the treatment areas are separated by dividers instead of walls, so if the person next to you is giving their life story to the hygienist... congratulations, you're part of the conversation too. It creates a busier atmosphere and doesn't offer as much privacy as a traditional office. TLDR: Yes. This is the place you want to go.

My wife and I have been going to this practice for the last 3 years, and recently we decided to…read morestop going there due to the following: * They mainly prefer doing crowns, and the doctor doesn't do fillings--it seems it's not worth his time unless there is crown involvement. * The new front desk staff never respond to messages. * Over the last year, I started noticing they send additional bills without explanation, even after paying the copay at checkout. * Their hygiene staff keeps changing, and we have to go over everything again with each new hygienist. Unfortunately, i decided to leave a review here due to not getting a response on their follow up survey ,we have to find a different practice, even though we have invested a lot of time and money there.

I have been a patient at this dental office for many years and have always had positive experiences…read morewith the staff and hygienists. Unfortunately, since Dr. Raymond Wright took over my care, my experience has changed dramatically. My biggest concern is his lack of communication and bedside manner. During multiple visits regarding ongoing pain in a tooth, I felt dismissed, interrupted, and unheard. Rather than listening to my concerns and working collaboratively to identify the cause of the pain, I was repeatedly told, "There's nothing else I can do." At one point, he even blamed me for not bringing up a concern that I had, in fact, already tried to explain. The issue began after he replaced some resin on the side of a tooth to address sensitivity. The pain continued, and my bite felt noticeably off afterward. When I returned for a cleaning and to discuss the ongoing discomfort, he seemed uninterested in investigating the issue. He suggested the bite problem was caused by grinding or clenching, despite no history of those issues and no evidence of wear on my other teeth. He then stated that I would need additional imaging or a referral to a periodontist, only to once again conclude that there was nothing else he could do. What was most frustrating was the inconsistency. After repeatedly saying there were no options, he later suggested replacing a partial filling on the very tooth that was causing the problem. If that was a possible solution, why wasn't it part of the conversation from the beginning? Adding to my disappointment, my routine cleaning was performed by Dr. Wright rather than the hygienist and lasted only a few minutes. My teeth honestly did not feel cleaned, polished, or cared for in the way I have come to expect from this office over the years. The front office staff and hygienists have always been kind and professional, which makes this review difficult to write. However, after multiple appointments where I felt dismissed rather than cared for, I have decided to seek dental care elsewhere. My advice to prospective patients is simple: be prepared to strongly advocate for yourself. Ask questions, push for explanations, and make sure your concerns are fully heard. Unfortunately, that was not my experience.
