I have been going to Dr. Santone's office since I was 15 years old (now 32). I have seen the dental…read morehygienist Monica for years and have had a pleasant experience until now. She told me it has been too long since getting x-rays done and I politely declined, as I don't need to be exposed to radiation just for the heck of it. Monica continued to question to my choice (in a very rude manor). I once again said no thank you and I simply wanted a cleaning. She said 'this is unaccepatable' and I said 'maybe I should find a new dentists as I really don't want an x-ray'. She said 'I think that's a good idea' and I walked out... Not a word from anyone. It was so rude, unprofessional and inappropriate. I will never go back, along with the rest of our family who has been going for over 20 years.

He did some crowns and fillings for me, I am very pleased with his work. Vanessa also did some cleanings, she was gentle and a very sweet hygienist!

The work that they did was done flawlessly efficiently. I experienced virtually zero pain throughout the entire process. Dr. Smith is extremely skilled, professional, kind, and his staff went above and beyond to make sure that I was comfortable. The work that they completed today was nothing short of perfect and now my teeth are finally fixed! I can't say enough good things about Dr. Smith and their staff. They truly care about their patients, our empathetic, kind and good people. This is very rare to find so I hope people read this review and choose Cliffside family dentistry. I got lucky and just went in there without doing research, but was blown away by their compassion, skill, and efficiency.

The dentist was very personable and explained everything during her review of the x-rays and the exam. She also has an amazing imaging software program I haven't seen at other dental practices. For the first time ever, I saw an accurate visual representation of my teeth which greatly helped me feel confident in the diagnosis and suggestions of which teeth to prioritize. I previously went to a dentist who I liked, but due to insurance changes I needed to find a new dentist. I was very happy to hear that they both agreed upon which teeth have cracked filings due to age and my teeth grinding at night. I am feeling confident about my future appointments to have some needed dental work completed because they took such great care of me as a first time patient.

Love Encinitas Ortho Team and Dr.Liatti!! I came to…read moreDr.Liatti after getting many other opinions suggesting surgery because of my complicated ortho case as an adult. Dr.Liatti was honest and attentive since day one, allowing me to try Invisalign with my complex case. It's been a long journey but it worked and I couldn't be any happier. I'm more confident about my smile and my quality of life has increased drastically! Ortho can be challenging and time consuming but if you have realistic expectations (and wear your retainers) you will see life changing results. Thank you Encinitas Ortho and your amazing staff for always making me feel welcomed and making this journey so smooth. Special shoutout to Kathleen for being awesome!

Also had 3 cavities fixed and paid $350 in office and got another bill for $300!!! We are so upset and talked to them about it. They did not seem to care. We won't be back since there appears to be hidden fees or bad miscalculations on their billing department. If you go here, be careful you may get another bill sent home. They'll text you owe money first and ask you to pay through the link. This is not the type of dental practice I like to go to. I suggest you don't either.

I relocated from Solana Beach to Vista and still drive there for dental care. They are always on time, provide detailed status and advice before treatment.

They also helped my foreign mom for a dental emergency during her trip to the US with a custom pricing (no insurance). She was very happy with the service and treatment. Highly recommended!

I had the privilege of working for Dr. Keller early in my career as a young dental assistant, and…read morehe was hands-down the best employer I could have asked for. I learned so much under his guidance and feel incredibly lucky to have been mentored by such a talented and compassionate pediatric dentist. His wife, Kristen, is equally wonderful--genuine, down-to-earth, and just an all-around good person. Together, they create such a warm and welcoming environment. Dr. Keller truly has a gift when it comes to working with kids. He's the perfect mix of goofy and engaging while also being exceptionally knowledgeable and professional. It's rare to find a provider who can make kids laugh one minute and calmly handle complex procedures the next. His approach is both comforting and effective, and I still carry many of the lessons I learned from him into my own work today as a seasoned dental hygienist. Fast forward nearly 20 years--now as a mom, I wouldn't trust anyone else with my own children's care. My son, who is on the autism spectrum and has a "spicy" personality, recently needed dental work. Dr. Keller and his amazing assistant were patient, kind, and so in tune with his needs. My son went in with zero hesitation and felt completely at ease in their care. I always recommend Dr. Keller to my patients with little ones, and I'm happy to share my experience here to help other parents looking for a dentist they can truly trust with their kids. He's the best of the best.
