Dr. Cutler along with her support team have completely renewed my faith in going to the dentist. In previous visits to other dentists I'd had three bad experiences that left me afraid to reschedule. Not only did Dr. Cutler take the time to explain what was going on with my mouth, she got me in on a cancellation schedule that had me out of pain within hours!! TLC Escondido Dental comes highly recommended by myself. Especially if you've been afraid to go back. Just call!! read more

They were very punctual and kind! Not judgmental at all as well as gentle working on my mouth. I got a regular cleaning but they were also on board with other care and didn't push me to get something done that I didn't need in the moment. Definitely would recommend :) read more

Friendly and helpful staff, LOVE Dr. Madrigal!! Have been going here for years, and will continue to.

Dr. Reyes and Dr. Madrigal are both excellent dentists and truly delightful people!! You can tell they genuinely care about their patients. They've placed two crowns for me so far and both turned out great - they feel just like my original teeth! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to family and friends - in fact we have. :) read more

Dr Madrigal is incredibly kind and it is obvious that she really cares for her patients. She's also very gentle with the numbing during dental work, which is great! read more

Dr Reyes & Dr Madrigal are two of the kindest dentists I've ever been to for my dental care needs. They are very patient and never rush . I had crowns done and fillings . What I love is that they make the crowns in the office and no need to come back another day for your crowns . They are very gentle with the work . It's never fun going to a dentist, but This place makes you feel comfortable and fun at the same time the doctors are always smiling and happy ! You feel welcomed and part of a family!! Thank you Dr Reyes and Dr Madrigal you are both awesome!! read more

Always a great experience - the whole team is empathetic and take the time to address your concerns and next steps. The office staff is friendly and helpful if I ever need to schedule or change my appointment. Worth the drive from Vista to Escondido. Highly recommend if you need a dentist! read more

Today was my first appointment at this dental office. I was nervous because I have had a lot of dental work done. The staff was wonderful! Dr. Madrigal is kind and professional. I highly recommend going here. read more

TLC are great dentists who listen carefully, treat gently, with excellent skill and results. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough about Dr. Madrigal and the team at TLC Escondido Dental. All of the staff I have dealt with have been friendly and understanding. Besides being an excellent dentist, Dr. Madrigal is compassionate, gentle, friendly, and patient. Having anxiety about dental work and a fear of needles, I must say that Dr. Madrigal did everything she could to make the experience as easy as possible for me. In addition to a crown and fillings, I had the chips on my front teeth repaired. The work she did looks natural and has improved my smile. I was very hesitant to change from my previous dentist, but after a move to Escondido, I decided to take a chance. I'm so glad I did. I trust her and know any dental issues will be taken care of. read more

Jorge, and all the employees are really professional, i highly recommend TLC Dental...

This is the 3rd general dentist I've been to since moving to SD and I'm so happy I finally found the right place for me. Dr Madrigal is the best! Super friendly, patient and kind. She treats you like you are a real person not just another number. It's refreshing to have a dentist who puts patient care first. Ari is the best hygienist I've had in a very long time. She's outgoing and friendly. Everyone who works there has been fantastic. Highly recommend! read more

After a bad experience with another dentist, I was referred to TLC by an oral surgeon over 13 yrs ago. I needed a female dentist and someone who wouldn't get mad at me if I had anxiety. I no longer fear seeing the dentists (well, just there). Dr. Reyes & Dr. Madrigal are amazing. I saw them at Costco one day, and they said Hi to me first. They are very kind and genuine. I trust them!!! When you walk in, the atmosphere has a calming effect and the dental office is super clean. The staff greets you as you walk in. They're always friendly and kind. I love the continuity of care to manage my dental health. I had the same hygienist Chris for many years until she retired. But, she matched up with Malorie, who I adore. I will continue to be a loyal client because they are so gentle, and caring, and don't charge for unnecessary treatments to get money from you. I have to give a big shout-out to Angie!!! When I lost my dental coverage a few years ago. She told me about their dental program which is affordable. Thank goodness for that program, because I can't see myself going anywhere else. They also see my family members too. They genuinely care about you and your dental health. I have healthy pearly white teeth to prove it! read more

Dr Reyes & Dr Madrigal are two of the kindest dentists I've ever been to for my dental care needs. They are very detail oriented, the office is always spotless which I love and appreciate and the staff is amazing and caring too. I never ever feel rushed and I've never had a problem with any of the dental work they've done for me. I highly reccommend TLC for all your dental care needs. read more

Everyone at TLC is so nice and incredibly professional. From the front-office staff to the hygenists and, of course, the dentists, I feel extremely cared-for and welcome here. Dr. Madrigal and Dr. Reyes are so knowledgeable and kind! With so many dentists to choose from in Escondido, you'll want to make TLC Escondido your top choice. read more

My family has been patients of TLC Escondido for a few years now and have had nothing but positive experiences. The staff is so friendly while also maintaining great professionalism to keep our visits prompt and our needs met. Easy to get appts and both Dr's are very knowledgeable and easy to approach and ask questions. read more

Love this dental office! My family and I have been clients for years! My hygienist, Ari, is wonderful...very thorough and always cheerful. She's like seeing a good friend at every appointment! Debra M August 2021 read more

I have been a patient on and off here for a few years. My insurance fluctuates, but now I can stay on PPO and keep the preferred Dentist I want. TLC is my first choice. Kris has been cleaning my teeth for many years. She is the ABSOLUTE best when it comes to someone who has an extremely sensitive teeth and gums. The office staff are the sweetest and most organized gals. I highly recommend TLC for all dental needs. read more

Extremely concerned!! Paid several hundred dollars up front for a scheduled procedure. We were in the exam room for only a few minutes before we were informed that the dentist refused to work on my daughter as "she wasn't the kind of person that he works on". I asked about the money we had already paid and was told that we would receive a check in the mail. Something's just not right about this dental office!! - will be making complaints higher up. read more

Always have great work done at TLC dental. Just recently had crowns put on my two front teeth, they were cracking. They look so natural, I was so happy with the work. They also work so well with my autistic son, really patient and caring with him. I highly recommend this practice. read more

It's amazing, in watching this practice grow/transition, how the experience remains amazing (I'm a techie and it's not all about the "toys"). Found one of my own "tried and true" reservations relaxed today in the interaction with this crew even amid a relatively crazy schedule in the middle of all of THIS. But everything I've already seen told me they'd crush this. read more

I started sending my son to TLC about 14 years ago. I'm not sure of the changes that have been made but it doesn't seem to be run by the same people. We mad appointments for my son he goes to college in a different state so he needs to get he teeth taken care when he is home. So far my son has had two appointment to have things done and they have messed up his appointment saying that they need more time or didn't get the correct person to do the work. I'm so disappointed with this office!! We will be looking for a new dentist. read more

Dr. Reyes and his team made me feel welcome and comfortable after not going to the dentist for quite a while. I was so nervous going in but they put me at ease. The office was extremely clean and they had good tunes playing which helped calm my nerves. Happy to have found a great dentist. read more

If I could give 6 stars, I would. Here's me, telling you, I checked it out (meaning I've had the consultation, got a filling, and had a crown) and I do not have a single complaint. The office is immaculate, staff are very friendly and professional, and Dr. Reyes is hands down my favorite dentist of all time. He puts care into everything he does and his work is exceptional. read more

So well taken care of by this magnificent dental team. Had 3 crowns put on and had the best experience one could have at the dentist. Referring my husband and others as this is the best place I've ever been to! read more

Dr. Reyes and the staff at TLC Escondido Dental are amazing! I have been receiving care in their office for over a year now. I have horrible teeth, bad past dental experiences and a teeny tiny mouth and needed filings upon filings!! Dr. Reyes did every session with the upmost patience and care. My teeth look and feel amazing. No more half smiles - now it's full teeth! I know it's hard to like going to the dentist but my daughter and I love TLC (the treasure chest prizes at the end of cleanings really seal the deal ). Would definitely recommend this office to all. read more

Dr. Cutler & her staff are all very professional & friendly. The experience of going to the dentist is not always something people look forward to. TLC makes it a bit easier & comforting with their unique style. I highly recommend the services of TLC to anyone that is looking for quality, efficient & affordable dentistry. read more

I have to say that TLC Escondido Dental has made going to the dentist as pleasant an experience as possible. I had a bad dental experience in the past and stopped going to the dentist but then I didn't really have a choice but to go to the dentist as I was in pain and my past dental work was going awry. Dr. Cutler was sincerely caring and nurturing as she accessed what was going on and developed a very thorough treatment plan to get my mouth back to good health and looks. Her compassion and expertise gave me a renewed confidence in going to the dentist. All of her staff are great as well. The atmosphere is very family like and inviting. The office is state of the art while at the same time being warm and homey. They even have warm fuzzy blankets if you are cold. Now that's comfort. Also the other specialists that she recommended were like minded as well being that they are sincere and caring about the whole patient and not just out to make a dollar. All in all Dr. Cutler has helped me to change my mind about going to the dentist and I will continue to go to TLC Escondido Dental on a regular basis to get the dental care that I need to maintain good mouth health. Thank you Dr. Cutler and your staff! read more

I was in search of a dental office close to home that took my insurance I'm so happy with my choice. The staff here is always so kind and happy to help. I've been in for a few different dental issues I had and it's always been a good experience but the one that stands out the most is when I had to get an old crown removed and a new made, Becky and Dr.Madrigal did an amazing job, it matches my tooth color and the shape of the tooth looks just like my real teeth. Thank you to all the staff at TLC and thank you Dr.Madrigal and Dr. Becky read more

My husband and I love TLC dental. He has been going to this practice since he was a kid, when they had a different dentist who has since retired. (I'm really surprised by those negative reviews!) We've had great experiences with the hygienists, and found the front office staff to be extremely friendly, professional and helpful. Theresa is a very thorough dentist, and kind. One of my favorite perks is they have a TV in every room with a great selection of movies you can watch during your dental work! Definitely makes fillings go by quicker. The office is busy, so you need to book your appointments well in advance. read more

I didn't go to the dentist for 20 years because I was terrified as a child. When I found TLC I started to come back and get my teeth worked on. Now I never miss an appointment and look forward to getting my teeth cleaned and checked out. It's a great experience and I recommend them to everyone! read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Cutler and the whole staff at TLC Escondido Dental. I always feel well taken care of every time I visit. Dr. Cutler is very caring and gentle, and always concerned about how I'm doing, even going above and beyond to reach out to me and find out how my treatment is feeling after the fact. I recently got some fillings done there, and the whole procedure went very smoothly and a lot quicker than I expected. Also, I have a bad habit of chewing the inside gums of my cheeks, and although it's not usually even a conscious thing, other dentists in the past have made me feel absolutely horrible about it. Not Dr. Cutler, she was completely sweet and understanding. I wasn't made to feel ashamed or bad about my oral habits at all, which helped me to relax and feel completely comfortable. I highly recommend this office if you are looking for 5 star service and great dental care! read more

I had a great experience getting my new Ceric Crown, Dr. Reyes and his assistant, Claudia made my visit comfortable and carefree. The front office is friendly and helpful, Angie always gives a warm greeting and smile, a great choice and dental home with this office. Thank you! read more

I come here all the time with my mom! We love this place! They are very friendly and quick with their service, yet very thorough!!! And, the environment is really laid back and soothing!!! read more

TLC is the best dental office I have been to. All of the staff are considerate and caring. The dentist's are knowledgeable, inform you of everything and kind. Ariana is the best hygienist I have ever had!!! The office is always clean and comfortable. I recommend them 100 percent. read more

This is an edit of a one star review. After reading my review, the new dentists apologized and addressed my concerns. In future I can speak with them personally about any future issues. This has been resolved to my satisfaction and we will continue to frequent this establishment. They also gave my children excellent care for which I'm grateful. read more

I am probably THE worst dental patient. I hate to admit it, but I was about 8 years overdue for a dental check. Going to the dentist is something that causes me great anxiety. Going in, I was a bit nervous, but the staff at TLC was very competent and caring, and there was not one bit of judgment from anyone about my prolonged absence from the dental care scene. Instead, I was given quality care with lots of explanation and a plan to move forward. About halfway through my visit, the admin received confirmation that I was out of network-thanks to my confusing EPO vs.PPO plan (kids, know your insurance-don't be like me) and informed me, thankfully I have flex spending, so we continued with the exam. Dr. Barakat gave me helpful referrals to further my care, and for the first time ever, I was not completely mortified about my oral health, and I actually am excited to get things taken care of. After the visit I stopped up front to pay my bill (by the way, I did notice the courtesy discount-thank you!) and the front office staff was helpful in making sure I had all the info I needed for referrals as well as the contact info to have my visit notes and X-rays sent over to whomever assumes my care since they are out of network. It was an all around pleasant experience, and needless to say, when open enrollment comes around again, I'll be switching to a PPO dental plan so I can come back! Thank you so much TLC dental for caring for this big chicken! read more

Dr. Barakat is my dentist here. She started with Dr. Cutler a few years ago and it has been great. I need a gentle touch since sometimes I get nervous. No nervous jitters here, been smooth sailing. Dr. Barakat is very thorough in her examination. She explains the process and why she is doing what she recommends along the way. I feel that the more I know and understand, the better at ease I am. Dr. Barakat is very attentive to how my post procedure progress is settling out. She will follow up to make sure that I am not experiencing any discomfort and that the outcome is as expected. In addition the staff here is very nice and friendly. They seem to do very well with kids too, each one goes into their appointment readily and happily. read more

All the staff at TLC dental are phenomenal. I always have a great time chatting and catching up while getting my teeth cleaned. Very relaxing atmosphere with cheery and professional staff. read more
