Stop your search, this is the dentist you've been looking for. Dr. Scola and her team are thorough, pleasant and will take great care of you. Everyone at the office was extremely friendly. Scheduling was easy and they are flexible. read more

It was amazing for my family and I for about a year or two and then when we started paying attention to the transactions and the treatment plans it got sketchy. If you decide to go here, keep ALL your documents and be on top of everything. Make sure you are loud and clear about what you want/ need. I had a specific issue on my left side and it took 6 months as well as the hygienist (AMAZING DR) and the receptionist, 3 separate times to correct the Valerie Scola on which side we were treating. Long story short, she took full responsibility to not listening to me or anyone who advocated for me and when I decided I no longer wanted them to treat me, tried to bill me almost $300 which they dropped 6 months after the fact because they were "being nice". Emily was the only nice receptionist everyone else either can't do the job, doesn't know what's going on, how to print a receipt, or is rude, the phone etiquete is almost as bad as the service. read more

Dr. Scola and her entire staff that I have worked with have been extremely professional, knowledgeable, and welcoming. I feel very confident I am in good hands and getting the best care. read more

Today was my first cleaning appointment and I already feel at home here! Everyone from the receptionist to dentist is welcoming, warm, and professional! They were thorough with my checkup, my cleaning, and plans for my aftercare. I've already booked my next appointment and will be coming here for many years to come. I recommend this establishment for all your dental needs! read more

Dr Scola is a most outstanding provider. I was a very challenging case that required, for all intents & purposes, rebuilding my whole mouth. She was as effective as a cosmetic dentist, took as much time as she needed to get each & every tooth done correctly & comfortably so I could chew again after a significant oral surgery and 5 months of no ability to eat solid foods. Goal accomplished! and with a smile, always. She's a perfectionist in her work & a pleasure to be in her presence. She really cares about your overall health, not just your mouth or the visit at hand. Everyone in her practice is more than accomodating & I cant recommend her enough. read more

Dr. Scola has provided excellent care to me, my family, and friends ever since she opened her office in Murrieta. Lori and John, the 2 hygienists on staff, are gentle, so I have no fears going in for my cleanings. The office communicates costs with me before procedures so I know what to expect. A five star dental practice. read more

Dr Scola and her team are amazing! They are kind, knowledgeable and caring! I highly recommend her and her team if you are looking for your dentist! read more

I adore this place, especially Dr Scola herself! She is soooo personable around town (at the Rod Run), and, professionally, I could not imagine a finer dentist. She recently wowed me even more than I thought was possible by calling to check on my dental follow up (to an extreme sensitivity I experienced). She'd said, "We'll call you" and she took the time to call me herself. This woman has 4 kids and a full time job! And obviously, a heart of gold. My socks were blown off. I'd give 10 stars if I could. A true Inland Empire GEM! read more

Dr Scola is the best dentistry around. The staff is talented, incredibly kind, and never tries to sell me on unnecessary work (the problem with my last dentist). I'll never go anywhere else. read more

I hate the dentist, but I love this place!! Dr. Scola and all the staff are friendly and make you feel at ease. I recently received internal bleaching on a tooth that I had knocked out while playing soccer and I'm in love with the results! Highly recommend this establishment!! read more

Dr. Scola (and staff!) How do I love thee? Seriously, amazing experience every time I go. It doesn't matter if it's me or my teenagers, consistency in care every time. Today, I had the "pleasure" of having some fillings replaced. I almost fell asleep in the chair. Dr. Scola is so gentle and her voice is so soft and soothing, it makes the experience so much better. Shout out to Natalie too! She's the coolest hygentist around! read more

Valerie Scola is by far the greatest dentist in the Inland Empire. I had some office issues with regards to their previous staff but she stepped in and made it right. Other then that I have recommended all my friends and family to Scola Family Dentistry over the past several years and will continue to do so. Thank you Valerie for making a wrong a right! read more

Love it here! Haven't been to a dentist in a couple years, but found Dr. Scola, and I'm so glad that I did. Their office staff is super friendly, and the hygienists and Dr. Scola herself are awesome. Their prices are reasonable, and they don't try and "oversell." I would give a sixth star if I could! read more

I'm super glad I was recommended to Dr. Scola. She's the best and so are her staff. They are compassionate and knowledgeable. I'm a cancer warrior. Everything about my health is particular. They "put up" with me. And for that I'm thankful. They work with my insurance. Dr. Scola pulled a tooth out for me that I really needed. Out. That was over a year ago. Dr. Scola is my Dentist. I'm HaPpY! She is. Want great care with compassion? Call Dr. Scola. read more

Professional Plus! Such a positive, friendly vibe my entire time there (about 1.5 hours). Got me in with only one day notice. Dr. Scola meticulously filled the top of a bottom front tooth which I tore off by using it as a tool to open a bag of trail mix...sound familiar?! Looks (and feels) so much better! Many thanks to this top notch team! read more

First of all, Dr Scola and her team deserve the 5 stars! Second of all, I am a real scaredy cat when it comes to the dentist but after asking for recommendations Dr Scola was suggested to me as being a great dentist to visit. Their recommendation was so accurate! Dr Scola is a highly accomplished dentist which gave me great confidence, but the big difference for me is her very caring, gentle, non-judgmental treatment of sensitive patients such as me. Her assistant, Faith, is also very caring and experienced. Great experience! read more

The best Dental practice in the Inland Empire area, hands down. I have been Tommy other practices and will never leave the Scola family, now that I found it. read more

If you're looking for an honest dentist that treats you well and doesn't thin out your wallet this is the gal for you.

The women at this office are angels. We have been coming here for years and the staff is truly amazing! Recently, I suffered an injury while on vacation and they were able to schedule me quickly and I'm as good as new. Dr Scola and her entire staff always go above and beyond in making you feel comfortable. A special shout out to Emily and Lori for their patience with our family over the years. Jimmy Van Haften read more

Great dentist great service! Thank you for everything!!!! You always go above and beyond to make sure we're comfortable!

I am cancelling this appt with the office I do not want to feel harassed by my dentist or hygienist. This is exactly what I told you on my first visit that I did not want to feel like I was at a used car lot. Your comments to me about expecting to be addressed about my decision and having to sign a refusal form are absurd. You can also check out my comments on yelp ! Bad office policy Really bad .......... 8/14 at 2pm is reserved for you! Please keep in mind, your dental hygienist and Dr. Scola will address the need for scaling and root planing again, and may ask you to sign a treatment refusal form. I just want you to be prepared. read more

Outstanding dental and customer services! The office is very clean and I liked the open feel it had. Not like I was trapped in a room. I needed to get my teeth cleaned before my wedding, and even with a booked schedule, Dr. Scola's team made it happen! Natalie provided an incredible two hour session with a full work up of X-rays and cleaning. She made me feel relaxed and was incredibly knowledgeable about ortho, and was just down right funny. She's a very pleasant person (the kind of person you trust all up in your mouth lol) I'm going to embarrass myself here, and admit I haven't been to the dentist since college back in 2012... that's 6 years people! *gasp* and she got all the nasty plaque buildup off my teeth! I then asked about cosmetic whitening services because I wanted to spruce up my smile before my wedding day. So I opted for the GLO whitening treatment. I loved it!! Thank you so much to everyone who helped me today. You made me feel like a million bucks when I left. read more

I'm deathly afraid of dentists so I normally just don't go. Over the weekend I had a toothache and called Dr. Scola's office and was able to get in the next day. The office staff was super nice and very helpful with the questions I had. Dr. Scola was amazing! She made me feel right at ease although I was trembling with fear. I had to get 2 fillings and she truly made the whole experience that much better. I walked out of that office called my husband and said that it was truly an amazing experience at the dentist. I would totally recommend Dr. Scola and her office staff, I even scheduled an appointment to return for a full cleaning. read more

I found Dr. Scola and her staff to be quite professional and competent. Dr. Scola answered all my questions regarding my treatment and possible future treatments. Alexis the hygienist thoroughly explained what was wrong with my gums and teeth and advised me on how to improve my dental health. I highly recommend this dental office! read more

I've been devoted to this dental practice since the building was built back in the early '90s. I've experienced all three dentists that have had their practice here. The office is clean and inviting. I can't imagine going elsewhere. The staff is nice, and Lori & Natalie are two of the best hygienist. read more

Absolutely, positively the best! Dr. Scola and her precious staff took care of a couple of less-than-perfect teeth in my old mouth. Kind. Professional. Kind. Gentle. Organized. Kind. Efficient. (did I mention kind?). No one likes going to the dentist, but IF you must go, be sure to find someone like Dr. Scola. read more

Amazing place and incredible people. No high pressure or sales tactics. Dr. Scola took the time to explain my exam and make me feel like family. All of the people in the office really care about you. They make you feel at home and work to give you the best option for your care. It reminds me of my family dentist from Boston. No one tried to upsell or scare me into buying services that I didn't need. Honest caring people. if there were 6 stars I would give them all to them. read more

Their staff, spams your email and phone with messages about appointment reminders. Scare you with cancellation reminders. But twice I clear my schedule for appointments and they don't make sure insurance is covered before I drive out of the way to come to them. I have had full insurance coverage both times this happened. I figured the first time it happened it was a a fluke. But the second time, was disappointing. Such a shame, I would have liked to stay with them, but their front staff were curt and incompetent. read more

Dr. Scola takes a Personal Interest in you and her staff treat us like members of family. I am a very nervous patient when I go to the dentist and am so relaxed when I have to visit Dr. Scola! Go See This Lady - you will love her and her staff. . . read more

Another 5 star appointment! This is my third time there, 2x 6 month's cleaning plus a repair of a filling not done correctly at another dental practice. The staff and doctor are attentive, patient and friendly AND they do a great job. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Scola is wonderful! I had a root canal done with her and the operation went very well, no infections or anything like that. Everything feels great and I can finally eat pizza again without having the sharp pain in my tooth. She is skilled at what she does and her dental team is filled with top quality people! read more

So Dr. Scola called me in December 2015 to personally apologize for the mix up with the billing in her office. Apparently she had no idea I was having an issue with the billing because they never told her, even though they told me she said not to refund me. Don't worry, that person no longer works there. Dr. Scola was very sincere and obviously cares a lot about her business' reputation. I'm glad everything worked out because as my first review states I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS DENTIST. P.S. I was refunded my money for the cleaning I had to pay for. read more

Thank you for making my dad's teeth beautiful for my wedding. His veneers look amazing! Wonderful customer service.

I just love Dr Scola and her staff. Very friendly. Dr Scola is very thorough and she explains what needs to be done in detail. I have gone to other dentists in the past and often wondered if I really needed to have everything done that was suggested. I totally trust Dr Scola with her advise and expertise. I have friends that take their kids to Dr Scola and their kids love her as well. Now that says a lot when kids love their dentist. Thank you Dr Scola. It doesn't matter what your age, she will take good care of you. read more

We needed a new dentist for our kids and couldn't be happier with Dr. Scola. She is friendly and caring and addresses questions directly and honestly with out trying to sell you "treatments you don't need. We had come from another dental practice and we were shocked at the lack of care they had for our children's dental hygiene . Dr. SoCal took her time and showed us exactly what the other practice had been missing. Thank you so much Dr. Scola for being an example of what quality patient care is. read more

does anyone out there put the dentist off!?? That's how I used to feel, before seeing Dr Scola! The care she gives her patience is like NONE I've ever had! You never have to second guess her recommendation. I hardly have pain with the work she does! She has integrity, and in such a caring way. she actually called to check on me!!! not her staff, her!! When I leave her office my spirits are up, there's laughter and smiles during your visit. I actually enjoyed my visit to my dentist Yah! my reason for posting is... I've been looking for a great dentist my whole life, and now I've found her!! read more

I drive about 30 miles from Oceanside just to see Dr. Scola. I have had a ton of dental work done over the years by quite a few different dentists, and none have ever made me feel comfortable like Dr. Scola does. Her office is clean and comfortable, and her staff is great. I highly recommend this office to everyone. read more

A great dentist. I haven't been in years she made me feel so comfortable. Great work. Everyone in office was so friendly. Thank you very much read more

Valerie is not your typical dentist. I absolutely trust her and would take her advice. I love her! I have been to multiple dentists office where I felt like they wanted to sell me more work than needed and I hated it. We all need work here and there and when you do I would go to Scola Family Dentistry! They are the best. read more
