I have only been coming to Dr Wernick for a couple months but I have already seen enough to know that he is one of the best dentists I have ever had. I have moved around with the military and have had over 10 dentists and although some had great chairside manners and some were skillful, Dr Wernick is both. He is super polite and tells you everything he is doing or recommends. He seems to have a great attention to detail. Just a genuinely nice guy - I even saw him pick up printouts for his front office lady, and after my appointment (which was just before lunch), I saw him leaving with his staff to take them out to lunch, which I have never seen from a doctor. (They seem to work well together and like each other!). His dental assistant (think her name is Marlene) is also super nice and funny too. And the front desk lady (sorry, I'm bad with names!) is professional, friendly, courteous and knowledgeable with billing details. Anyhow, thank you for all your help with my teeth!!! PS. Btw, he accepts the military dental insurance (active duty family members) which most dentists do not. So thank you for your support of the troops indirectly! ... I am always dismayed at how most dentists and doctors don't indirectly support the military by their choice of which carriers to accept. PPS. This is my honest and unbiased opinion. I have no current or prior interest in or relationship with Dr Wernick or his staff. read more

Best dentist ever! Very professional and helpful staff. Been coming here for years, will never go anywhere else.

These guys are beyond amazing. If you need a dentist, just go to them. They are so nice and they do amazing work. I've been going to them for years now and they do great work with not only the regular cleanings, but I've had some major work done and they've done outstanding work and will do it until its 100% correct and to your liking. the entire staff is some of the nicest people around and they know what they are doing. read more

This office has been great. The staff is so genuine and kind, and Dr. Wernick has done great work on my teeth. Thank you!

Dr. Wernick is Great! Knows what he's doing, is virtually pain-free, only does what's truly needed, not what's great for his wallet. Good "bed-side" manners, explains everything and answers your questions. Just left 2 hours of prepping for 2 crowns, tons of drilling with novacaine, temps built and sent me on my way with instructions that made things very manageable and was even able to go teach a class at university. He's great...really. OBTW, Susie, the office manager really knows the insurance world and really helps you out. Laura the hygienist is soft and thorough when cleaning teeth and Marlene works well with Dr. Wernick doing the work. All around a great team. Can't wait to go back on 31st. for my 2 crowns If you are looking for a dentist, search no more. Check them out. Lastly...wonderful with kids. read more

My family and I appreciate Dr. Steven Wernick and his staff.We have received the best personal care and treatment from their professional staff since my my youngest son was 2 years old. He is now 20 years of age and we are all still coming as a family to this dentistry. They make you feel at ease and comfortable. They are by far the most gentle and thorough care that we have received by any dentists.They also are very flexible, patient ,friendly and very family oriented.They will really change your mind about the whole dentist experience. If you are looking for a dentist I highly recommend Dr. Steven Wernick Oceanside Family Dentist. read more

Just had my cleaning on Tuesday 12-21-15 I'm moving out of Cali so I will miss them all Highly recommend this place :) Great dentist and great staff read more

Terrible, pushy staff. They will try to upsell you on a mouth guard that you do not need and then try to see if your insurance will cover the overpriced item. There are better dentists in the area read more

service is the best. very caring and addresses all your concerns. great staff and great dentist.

Looking for an awesome dentist? STOP right here! I've been going to this dental office for 10 years and I can't fully express into words how much I love this dental office! I used to avoid going to the dentist because of the anxiety I would get. However, I've never felt that way at this dental office! His entire staff are genuine, good people and treat you like family. You can tell that they love their jobs and truly care. I had severe root canal pain during a holiday weekend not too long ago. Dr. Wernick and Laura left their New Year's Eve festivities to help/meet me at the office to help alleviate the pain I was having. The fact that he would be willing to go out of his way on a holiday to help make mine less painful, meant a lot!! That speaks volumes about their character! The office is beautiful and always perfectly clean. The tvs on the wall and ceiling at every chair, are my favorite feature! I'm so thankful a friend of mine referred me here many years ago! Dr. Wernick and his team are the best of the best!! read more

Nothing but positive experiences with Dr. Wernick's dental office. My wife and I are relatively new to the Carlsbad/ Oceanside area and I initially went to his office to have a chipped crown looked at (put in 9 months prior by a previous dentist), which was concerning me. Dr. Wernick examined the tooth/ crown, gave me my options, told me he recommended a new crown (which I agreed with). He and all of his office staff made the procedure for the new crown seamless and successful. The office hours are also excellent, I was able to come in prior to work, and not miss a beat. Lastly, he and the office staff always explain why and what they were doing, before doing it, and they were always keeping my comfort level in mind throughout the procedure. My replacement crown is performing very, very well and I couldn't be happier. I would, without hesitation, recommend Dr. Wernick's office for all dental needs from cleanings to more complex work such as fillings and crowns. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Wernick for a little less than one year, but from the very beginning he and his staff have been wonderful to work with. They are extremely helpful and professional. They take their time to explain the procedure they recommend, from routine cleaning to deep cleaning, crowns, etc. They all make you feel very comfortable and his pricing is very reasonable. If you're looking for a great dentist and staff you can't go wrong with Dr. Wernick. read more

Been coming here for years. Highly recommend. The staff is always kind and helpful. My kiddos actually look forward to going to the dentist.

Had an issue with one of my fillings. Came in and everyone was so nice and helpful. Definitely recommend this dentist

If you are looking for a GREAT dentist ....this REALLY is the dentist for you. Growing up my parents didn't take us to the dentist or even teach us about dental hygiene... Needless to say, because of this, my teeth were already in poor shape by the time I reached early adulthood....Then I had a couple of REALLY BAD/ PAINFUL experiences with dentist's and stopped going all together. When I did go it was because of a toothache.....and rather than go through another painful root canal or anything like that I would just have them pull the tooth. As you can imagine....I'm missing a few teeth. My husband was Dr Wernick's 1st patient in our family...and he was thoroughly impressed after only 1 visit with him. Then we started taking our kids to see Dr Wernick and they really like him too. This left only 1 person in our house that was not seeing a dentist regularly....and of course I started getting pressured to make myself an appointment. Well, I FINALLY made myself an appointment. At 1st my heart was racing and I'm sure my blood pressure was through the roof!! I literally have a "white-knuckle" fear of Dentists ....but I'm not afraid of Dr Wernick!! He truly is the MOST gentle dentist that I have EVER been to..and I have been to my fair share of them. He and his staff are so kind and compassionate. I really am so happy that we found Dr Wernick. I had a crown build-up today and barely felt a thing!! Seriously, there is NO ONE that is more gentle than this dentist. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

Regarding Dr. Wernick; He is a FIVE STAR Dentist! Trust Him! The dental treatment I received from this Dr. was nothing short of wonderful. I unfortunately had a chipped back molar with a small cavity& needed repair. Also, needed a molar restored on the opposite side too. The teeth feel great now , look perfect& my bite when I bite down is perfect too! Thankfully Dr. W is calm, gentle, and makes me feel at ease as a patient because I am a big baby in the dental chair. His team is friendly too and caring. Things go so smoothly there. I happen to love the Dental Hygienist. She is so good at what she does! If you are looking for a top notch, professional dentist that is conservative yet meticulous at what he does, I highly recommend this office. Its so clean too, has a few bells and whistles serving beverages in the waiting room, friendly service, and nice toothbrushes for you to come and brush with just in case you are in a hurry getting there& need to freshen up before heading into your appointment, its great. But I am not there for the bells and whistles, I am there to have a super good Doctor. read more

Katherine Blair: He is a friendly a careful dentist. We like the receptionist and the reminders of appointments.

What a relief to have a dentist that we can trust. My whole family and some of my friends go to his office and we have all had positive results. We value Dr Wernick and his staff for our dental care. I always feel confident that they are thorough with exams and cleanings and they are super honest. They are so competent and caring....it is actually pleasant to go to the dentist. I love the tv's built into the ceiling too. One of my friends drives down from Big Bear to go to his office because she is so happy with the care she receives. Previously, we had gone to a dentist on our insurance plan that actually was more costly.... not to mention we had so many problems with the sub-standard care. I am about value and I learned the hard way that it is actually less expensive to go regularly than wait until you have a costly problem. If you are looking for a new dentist you will be so happy that you found Dr Wernick and his staff. read more
