I first encountered Dr. O'Brien twelve years ago while managing a dental practice where he served…read moreas an associate, and even then, his reputation for exceptional care and patient satisfaction was widespread. It was a natural progression, therefore, for me to entrust my dental health to him when he established his own practice a few years later--a decision I have never once regretted. Dr. O'Brien embodies an unwavering integrity and a profound ethical compass that shines through in every aspect of his professional life. His philosophy is unequivocally patient-centric, prioritizing conservative and truly essential treatments. He operates with a steadfast commitment to only performing critical procedures, consistently seeking the least invasive yet most effective solutions to preserve and enhance his patients' oral health. This dedication is evident to anyone fortunate enough to be under his care; he demystifies complex procedures, employing advanced imaging to visually elucidate diagnoses, meticulously outlining comprehensive treatment plans, and proudly showcasing the impeccable results of his work. His precision is second to none--no detail is overlooked, no shortcut taken. Whether it's meticulously adjusting a bite after a filling or ensuring the margins of a crown are near perfection, his commitment to enduring quality is absolute. Beyond his formidable clinical skills, Dr. O'Brien possesses an exceptional chairside manner. His genuine warmth and delightful sense of humor transform what can often be an anxious experience into a remarkably pleasant one. He truly goes the extra mile --not just in treatment but also in fostering an environment where patients feel heard, understood, and genuinely cared for. Having dedicated years to the San Diego dental community and collaborated with well over 100 practitioners, I can confidently state that Dr. O'Brien stands among a very select few whom I implicitly trust. The excellence of Dr. O'Brien's practice extends seamlessly to his entire team, a group of individuals who are incredibly gracious, caring, thoughtful, helpful, and hardworking. Louella, the Office Manager, is not only exceptionally proficient but also deeply compassionate. Her dedication to patient advocacy shines through her meticulous handling of treatment coordination, insurance navigation, and transparent financial guidance. Her expertise ensures clarity and peace of mind regarding financial aspects, consistently delivering accurate and fair out-of-pocket estimates. Similarly, Cheryl consistently brightens the office environment with her infectious positivity and unwavering empathy, contributing significantly to the practice's welcoming atmosphere. Natalya is a phenomenal hygienist; she always does a thorough job in cleaning my teeth.

Appointments are easy to get, their schedule is very accommodating and the best part is - you get a rose when you leave!! :) It can be hectic getting in all of your Dr appts while working so for your convenience they have snacks and drinks for you in the lobby as well as freshly baked cookies (sounds contradicting, I know) for you to take on your way out. I believe they also have BBQ Friday's during the summer where they have hot dogs with all the fix-ins. They make the "not so pleasant" procedures tolerable, almost pleasant. I've been recommending them to everyone I know. My only gripe is that the service can be slooooow. I guess its because they give everyone personalized attention. Dont expect to squeeze in a cleaning or visit during your lunch hour.

I never had a cavity until recently so I was super nervous about the filling procedure, specially the injection. Didn't feel a thing, I thought that was impossible. They do everything to keep you as comfy as possible: memory foam pillow, warm blanket, comfy chair, headphones and cable tv right above your head so you can watch as you get work done. No complaints here!

Dr. Kashani is wonderful! His staff is great. The "receptionist" as she's been referred to by some…read morereviewers is on point... just have your ducks in a row and she will make it happen. I have some crown work to be addressed due to an over zealous dentist in the past. You know... if your dental insurance is too good you all of a sudden need major dental work... if not so good you have a cavity. Dr. Kashani did his exam, reviewed the x-rays and did the right thing. He did not for one second try to upsell me or pressure me into work that didn't need to be done. I trust him to put my dental health above the next medical claim. If you are looking for a great dentist... look no further.

SUMMARY: This is a classic, low-key dental office that doesn't try to up-sell you expensive tests…read moreand procedures. The doctor's skills are top-notch. MY HISTORY: In 2017 I was growing tired of my local dentist who had purchased expensive diagnostic machines and was "paying them off" by up-selling me and charging additional for using the machines. So I put the word out to friends by email with the question "Do you love your dentist? Why?" and one friend Charlie came back with: "Yes, I do. KA Kashani dds coast dental care. Office is [humble] but he won't rip you off or make more work for himself like other offices do." MY EXPERIENCE: Yes indeed, these past eight years have been great. Common phrases by Dr Kashani are "let's keep an eye on it", and "if it's not broken why fix it?" and "we don't want to be drill happy" WHY I LOVE IT: he's not trying to up-sell me! His classic office has the basics, and he is open and honest with comments like "if you need a root canal I will refer you". He's re-glued old crowns a couple of times for me. DOES THE DOCTOR KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING? I can certify YES and here is why: for years we were "just keeping an eye" on a dodgy old crown which had a little crack in it. So a doubt might have crept in, "does he know what he's doing? He never seems to do anything other than look at xrays and clean my teeth" Then finally the crown broke, and Dr Kashani WENT INTO ACTION! It took 4 visits (initial diagnosis, making a mold of the tooth, first fitting wasn't perfect, and then finally new crown was fitted) and here is what I learned: Dr Kashani is an experienced expert dentist. When it's time to go into action, he gets the job done. And BEST OF ALL: When the new crown first came back from the lab it was not perfect, with a tiny gap, and although he left the decision to me, he recommended sending it back to get it perfect, to "avoid problems down the road". I wholeheartedly agreed, and appreciated his making sure it was right for the long run. Sure, I had to make another visit, but I love visiting Coast Dental! WENDY: She's the usual dental assistant / hygienist. Always kind and happy, it's a joy to have her work on me. ROSA: The normal receptionist when I go on Wednesdays. Her telephone calls the day before to remind me of my appointments are greatly appreciated. Usually I already remembered, but sometimes (like last time) I had totally forgot! CONCLUSION: Want a classic well-trained and highly-experienced dentist who won't try to rip you off? Coast Dental and Dr Kashani is an excellent choice.

Before a routine teeth cleaning, she insisted that I list all of my medications and explain why I take them, despite already completing my medical history on my first visit and already receiving treatment from their dentists. I felt my privacy was violated and that I was being unfairly singled out. The questioning felt excessive, unnecessary, and unrelated to a standard cleaning appointment. Because of this experience, I chose not to complete the cleaning and decided to leave this dental office permanently. If patient privacy and respectful treatment matter to you, I would recommend looking elsewhere for dental care.
