The staff at Dr Kachele is amazing and so helpful starting with Jennifer the office manager. She was so thorough with assisting me with my insurance and working out my dental treatment and with making the time find the perfect appointment for me. I appreciate Dr Kachele's time and honest info on my treatment plan. I always refer my family & friends to them. Thank you Dr Kachele & staff ! read more

After searching for a great dentist's office, I finally found the wonderful office of William S. Kachele Jr, DMD, and I couldn't be happier! Every time I walk in, I'm warmly greeted by Jennifer, Office Manager, she's incredibly polite, helpful, and always ready to answer my questions with a smile. Then there's Marki, my Hygienist. Going to the dentist isn't exactly my favorite thing, but Marki is so gentle and kind! She always explains every step of the process, which really puts me at ease. Thanks to her, my six-month cleanings are something I don't dread. All the other staff are friendly too! :) And last but not least, Dr. Kachele is absolutely fantastic. When it's his turn to do my check-up, he takes the time to thoroughly answer every question I have about my teeth and treats me like family, so genuine and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Kachele's office to everyone! You and your family will be in the best hands and will never be disappointed. read more

Came in for a toothache. Got a filling removed and crown put on. Temp crown was so painful I had to come back 2 days later for re-work. Tooth still aches just as much. read more

I've been going to Dr. Kachele for over 20 years and recommend his office wholeheartedly. My sons also see him and my husband as well. On Monday my 19 year-old son had all four of his wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Kachele under sedation dentistry. The whole experience was seamless. He was there just a little over an hour. The staff is tremendous especially Jennifer, the front office manager, who is so knowledgeable about everything. After the procedure, my son was in minimal pain only had to take a couple doses of his pain medication and by day two was in no pain and back at work. He did not have any swelling nor bruising. It was a very pleasant experience And also affordable. I'm so glad that I chose to have Dr. Kachele remove his wisdom teeth, which were really starting to bother my son instead of going to an oral surgeon. read more

Just be careful. It may be just one of the dental assistants, Chris that gave this office 2 stars instead of 1. She was friendly, accommodating and super nice. I've gotten one cleaning and two visits for 5 cavities. I wasn't a fan of the dental hygienist either. The dentist was okay but when it came to the bite.. I'm sure that the doctor messed up my bite because it's still not right and I've been back 4 times for this. I'm just going to go back to my other dentist who's a little further away but worth it. At least that office knows what they're doing. I always felt like an inconvenience for this office when I was there and they never sent me forms like they were supposed to. I also didn't feel comfortable here. As I was transferring over offices from this office to another, I asked for the X-rays and the front desk worker said "it was California law" to pay for it. Then she asked if I had insurance? I've transferred offices before and they have never asked money from me. I resulted in ending up asking the new office to call this office for the X-ray and they didn't inquire about a "fee cost". Overall-- it may be super close to my house but I will drive the extra 15 mins to an amazing dentist and staff in Oceanside instead. read more

Skilled and compassionate care! The entire office treats you like a person, not a number. Excellent, high quality dental work by Dr. Kachele, highly recommended. He genuinely takes the time to make sure patients are comfortable with no pain. Brought a relative who had some bad past dental experiences elsewhere. Over several visits, every interaction was fabulous and professional. We appreciate the Doc, Jennifer, Susan, Elizabeth, Marky, and the rest of the team! read more

William S Kachele Jr, DMD - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - San Marcos, California

One year ago in May of 2023 Dr. Kachele put on a new rear molar crown and did a core build up. The temporary crown fell off in 5 days which I had to have reglued. Later he placed the permanent crown, which was terribly uncomfortable. I had pressure sensitivity, (I could not chew on the left side, sensitivity to cold and I could feel the open margin with my tongue. He tried adjusting it at least 4 or 5 times. I had 2nd and 3rd exams by other dentists, one being a periodontist and they both agreed the crown had an open margin, it was possible and likely it was open to decay. I went back to Dr. Kachele and he told me he wanted to make it right, but did not feel there was anything wrong with the crown. He offered to sand down the open margin or give me a refund. I of course took the offer for the refund. I didn't trust him any longer. I went to pick up the check, but I refused it because I felt the amount was insufficient for what I had gone through, plus the costs of the other exams and then having to go through the whole process all over again with another dentist. My new crown was put on in December of 2023. Dr. Kachele caused 6 months of discomfort that caused me so much anxiety. Needless to say.... NOT HAPPY! He's been talking about retirement since I started going to him. Maybe it's time. read more

Dr. Kachele is awesome! My husband needed 2 deep fillings, on teeth that were causing him lots of pain. He was pleased to find out his office is open on MLK day. Dr. Kachele was very friendly and knowledgeable when going over his treatment plan. My husband came out very happy with his tooth colored fillings. The ladies on staff were also very friendly and professional. Overall, great dentist experience with Dr. Kachele! read more

William S Kachele Jr, DMD - Nice fish tank in front office - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - San Marcos, California

Dr Kachele office is professional and fun. They have taken care of my mother visiting from out of town on short notice. They have provided me with great care and are priced very well! Very happy to have a private dentist/ oral surgeon with this level of care local in North County! read more

Wow great service. First let me start by saying my son was terrified of the Dentist. I was amazed how Dr. Kachele was able to talk to my son and eliminate the dentist fear. Now when we go for cleanings or check ups my son knows his buddy Dr Kachele will explain everything to him and feels comfortable getting his treatment . I appreciate Dr Kachele for explaining my treatment options but as well understanding what needs to be prioritized. I know that there is no shenanigans, Dr. Kachele is honest ,caring and the best DMD. Jennifer (front desk) she is amazing in explaining the financial and giving you options. She is also very helpful with emergencies and tries to get you in to see Dr. Kachele right away. I recommend Dr. Kachele for your dental needs ! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Kachele since I was a kid and he is just as amazing today (I literally saw him today) as he was back then! You'd have a hard time finding a better team than his as well. (Jennifer seriously makes you feel like you're their favorite patient!) Dr. Kachele is thorough, gentle, quick and so kind. I highly, highly recommend them. (Shout out to Susan, she is just the sweetest too!) read more

Had an implant performed on tooth 30. I was prescribed some sleeping pills to put me out for the procedure. Supposedly I signed a form before my procedure while under the sleeping meds. I was out dont recall anything. Well when I woke or got home he also did a root canal on tooth 13. Ok if needed that fine. Well my implant that cost $2k was done incorrectly (2 other implant specialists said so). The root canal failed was also not done correctly with nerve still there and infected. After stating my concerns he got defensive and rude and would not consider a refund. He would not respond to my insurance claims since I had reported him. Never again. He may be a good dentist, but for any major work- a root canal or implant go see a specialists! read more

I haven't been to the dentist in over 10 years and my tooth has been hurting so I was really scared on what to expect! I came into Dr.Kachele office and first I notice the super cool fish tank!! Smelt super clean and all front desk staff were very friendly. After all the paper work they took me back and the dental assistant Veronica took my X-Rays she was very professional and made sure I felt as comfortable as possible. Dr.Kachele came in and gave me his professional opinion and even had a cool small camera to show me the inside of my mouth of everything that needed to be done. He made me feel so comfortable and I have full trust! I highly recommend Dr.Kachele to anyone looking for a dentist they trust and that won't take advantage! read more

Let me tell you about my experience at the office of William S. Kachele Jr. DMD... Going to the dentist has always taken a back seat when it comes to my priorities due to the fact that I dislike visiting the dentist! I get nervous and I do not trust others and their services most of the time. I feel like people try to just take my money and do unnecessary work to my mouth. However, this was NOT the case with Dr. Kachele. One day, I was in a lot of pain and I could not handle the pain any longer. That is when a family friend had referred me to Kachele. I gave the office a call and explained how much pain I was in and they took care of me that same day. As I am on my way to the office (never been before) I was nervous as I always get when going to the dentist. My first impression of the office is that it is very nice, very clean, and looks very professional. They had a nice aquarium that was pleasant to look at! However, I didn't have the chance to look at it for much time because they don't make me wait much in the waiting room (which is a huge plus!!). I don't like it when I have an appointment set and they don't see me until 30 minutes after my appointment, which was NOT the case with Kachele. Kachele made me feel very comfortable. He is well educated and very informative. He is all about communication and you could tell he cared about his patients (me) a lot because it was more than just a dentist appointment, it was making sure I was happy with the results and going the extra mile by making sure the work he did in my mouth felt comfortable in my mouth. Also, the staff was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. The office manager Jenifer was very good with making sure I was informed about my appointments, the breakdown of how much everything was going to cost, and you can tell she would look out for my best interest. I am a very busy person, so she would always make sure I was able to be seen when I was available instead of vice versa. Also, Ana (dentist assistant) was a life saver! If there was ever a little issue with anything, she was my go to girl! She is very good at what she does and is very friendly, as well as Veronica! Jenifer, Ana, Veronica and the rest of the staff are super friendly. I knew I had a lot of work that needed to be done. Especially with my front teeth (I needed crowns in the front four). I am an extremely picky person. I wanted to have a million dollar smile. I explained to him from the very beginning, how I was very picky with the way I want things done. I want my teeth nice and white, no gaps in-between my teeth, etc. Turns out he is just as picky - if not more, about his own work. He will not be happy unless I'm happy. That is something I do not find a many people. Kachele loves what he does and you can see that! Also, HE IS VERY GOOD AT NUMBING. No joke, I never feel the needle when he is numbing me which is awesome (that is the scariest part for me). I hate needles! After everything was all said and done, I can now say I have the million dollar smile I have always wanted. My confidence level has gone up drastically and I can now take a photo and show off my teeth. Kachele is like a magician and did magic in my mouth. Thank you so much for that, Kachele. I would highly recommend him and I will be telling all my friends and family members to go there if they ever need any work done. read more

William S Kachele Jr, DMD - Not used to smiling so sorry for the crappy smile but wanted to show you guys how great they look - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - San Marcos, California

Went there for the first time and I was pleased with the service all around. From the front desk to the assistant taking the X-rays to Dr. Kachele examining my teeth. It was all painless and quick. Very close to where I live and my insurance covered everything for the day (examination, X-rays and cleaning) so I couldn't be more pleased. I was also happy that Dr. Kachele didn't try to get me to do extra procedures - he simply said that I had good/decent teeth and that I should come back in 6 months for a routine cleaning. Pleased and highly recommended! read more

Best dentist ever. I went to another dentist for an emergency treatment, and they did a completely unnecessary treatment at a ridiculous price (I didn't realize this at the time because I just wanted my tooth pain gone). I still had pain in the same tooth after following up with the previous dentist for over a month, so I came to dr Kachele. He helped provide a very cost effective solution to my pain (smoothed a tooth down), did a full facial scan, and told me to hold off on any further dental treatment as he didn't see any evidence I needed more. I have been pain free for 3 months. Dr. Kachele and his staff truly provide the best and most affordable dental experience, and are honest with you, even if that means they won't profit. read more

Dr. Kachele is an amazing! I would recommend this office 100% Attention to detail, quality and overall care is invaluable. Office staff and assistants are welcoming and very professional. Dr. Kachele is a master of his art, very knowledgeable and will help you make the best decision for your dental care. read more

Dr Kachele has been my dentist for about 3 years now. As a kid I had 2 bad experiences with dentists leaving me scared and traumatized. Finding Dr Kachele and his staff are extremely nice and understanding. I explained to them that I have bad anxiety and get really nervous at the dentist. They worked with me and made me feel very comfortable during the procedures. I'd definitely recommend Dr Kachele to anyone. He saved my teeth read more

Major win in finding Dr. Kachele! I moved to the area after 35+ years in central CA. Same dentist for 25+ of those years. Wasn't sure I could find a dentist as good as the last one. But Dr. Kachele exceeded my hopes. Excellent care, professional yet friendly demeanor, superior office staff. Expect to see Dr. Kachele for the next 25+ years! Highly recommend!! read more

Dr. Kachele is the best dentist I've ever been to by far! Before I was always terrified to get work done because of my past experiences with other dentists but not with Dr. Kachele, no pain at all! Him and his staff are all so friendly, welcoming, and very professional. He really does a fantastic job, great quality work, and I would highly recommend him to anyone!! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Kachele since 1993 and he is by far the best dentist I've ever been to. His approach to pain management is the best, and he takes his time to explain what is going on before doing anything (which I appreciate). Highly skilled and professional, great staff and very comfortable office setting. Would highly recommend. read more

First off . I don't like to go to dentist actually terrified a bit . But I had to get cavities filled and some other work done fearing the worst as I came in .but the staff was friendly and calming made my visit easier . And dr kachele was nice and also made it a breeze for me .making sure I was ok and comfortable no pain . I would recommend his office to others as well ! read more

Dr Kachele, the dental assistant Ana and the office manager Jennifer were excellent. Dr Kachele embraces new dental technology and takes time to explain his recommendations. Ana was very detail oriented and worked very diligently in cleaning my teeth and making sure that I was comfortable in the room. Jennifer did such a great job explaining the financing options for my treatment as well as the upgrade options. She made it easy to understand my insurance benefit and how much I have available for the year. The office overall had a great design. The lobby is so beautiful with a large fish tank in the wall. The chairs in the room are very comfortable and they use large computer monitors to show you your problem areas as they discuss treatment options. I would highly recommend this dental office. read more

I had a great experience her at Dr Kachele office today. His knowledge and experience saved me. I would recommend anyone need dental service to go to his office. read more

- Great deals - excellent quality - friendly staff - professional work I first heard about Dr. Kachele about 4 years ago, but didn't go to him until the beginning of 2016 cause I lived in Texas. Everybody in their staff knows how generous he is to his patients and people in general. He likes to give discounts to people and not take advantage like many other dentist do not only that, but he also cares for the people's well being in every way. His staff and him are trustworthy and his good leadership is reflected through the staff as well. He is passionate about his vocation and his domineer is peaceful which helps a lot when people are nervous. I have recommended him to all my friends in California and one of my friends who recently went to get a crown would agree with what I'm saying. Her last dentist had told her she needed to get rid of her tooth just because that's easier for dentist to not deal with a tooth, but Dr. Kachele looked into it like a professional and caring dentist should and actually ended up saving her tooth instead of pulling it. She was also very happy because she didn't have insurance and Dr. Kachele went out of his way to make sure they were able to afford the surgery.She usually hates dentists and has had bad experiences just like me, but not at Dr. Kachele's office. I guess part of it it's because he has been doing this for 30 years and knows what he's doing, he always has really good advice too. read more

I recommend Dr Kachele because Dr. Kachele has done one implant, it was a great job. Now he is working on a second implant for me. Thank so much! read more

I've been going to Dr Kachele for 10 years and love him. He has always been so patient with me and my craziness while in his dental chair. My two kids have seen him for years and don't mind going, even tho he's the dentist. They trust him! I've referred 3 co workers and they have all continued to see him, they too love him. They make the billing practice easy, their customer service and staff are perfect! Love our dentist! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Kachelle for over 25 years. After visiting numerous dentist that would not help me with my many dental issues due to the cost of the amount of procedures needed. The first day I visited Dr. Kachele, he made it clear that his main objective was my oral health and restoring my ability to smile without covering my mouth. Dr Kachele knowledge and expertise surpass any dentist in the area. He keeps up and current with the latest technology available. Because I have known Dr. Kachele for so long, I have no doubt that his main objective is to provide his patients the best care possible to restore their oral health. His approach to pain management is outstanding. I have had many challenges with insurance reimbursement. Insurance companies main objective is to deny claims or pay the minimum possible. I am very proactive in calling insurance companies when issues arise because Dr. Kachele roll as a dentist is not just to treat patients and go home. Insurance companies demand so much such as notes, x-rays etc, it's tedious and exhausting but this is what he does to help his patients. Dr Kachele care is worth every penny and in order to provide the latest technology available, he does have to charge for his services. Thanks to Dr. Kachele I am able to smile with confidence. Dr. Kachele is as real as they come! I'm forever grateful...... read more

I went to this guy a few years back. He has a major chip on his shoulder and isn't a very good dentist. Go ahead and see him but remember this review. I also had billing problems with this guy and it turned into a major hassle. He is not reasonable and if you have to come back for follow up somehow it will be your fault, you watch. He made a major mistake on my teeth and when he was confronted with it tried to play it off like it was somehow my fault? I would never see him again and never went back. It's a shame they let a guy like this even have a DDS and be able to work on the public. Look around, there are plenty of others to chose from. Also check other reviews on the web. They are correct as well. Stay away from this guy. He is not a good person!!! read more

Dr. Kachele, Dr. Amiri, and the rest of the staff are wonderful. My family and myself have been going to Dr. Kachele for many years. He is a trusted professional that has kept our teeth healthy and clean. We all have beautiful smiles to prove it too! read more

That bad review looks bogus! I have A Lot of experience (too much) with dentists and I am delighted to finally find one who listens, is compassionate and NOT condescending. NEVER has a dentist looked at my mouth full of crowns and fillings and said "looks like you've really taken care of your teeth". Mostly they make you feel like you've never owned a toothbrush. He is congenial and caring, constantly asking me how I feel, if it hurts and reacting quickly to my response. Dr. Kachele took the time to explain procedures and I understood him perfectly. As far as my procedure went, I can honestly say my new shoes hurt more than the deep cleaning! I can feel my PTSD receding....... read more

Like most people out there, I am sure you have had a story or two about the "dentist from hell".....for me, I had a series of traumatic events in the chair that I never thought I would get past. UNTIL I met Dr. Kachelle and Dr. Amri and every one of their assistants and staff....they are amazing. It is a matter of trust and they have exceeded my expectations ten times over. Professionalism, kindness, humor and caring for my dental needs comes naturally to them. I encourage anyone who has anxiety issues and or just in need of great dental care to go check them out!!!!!!!!!! read more

Dr. Kachele has been my dentist for almost 20 years now, his ability to diagnose and treat any dental issue in a professional and caring manner along with a staff that, goes above and beyond to take great care of you is why my family and I would never go any where else. Dr. Kachele is absolute the best dentist you will find! read more

Dr. Kachele is a highly skilled dentist who has saved me many times from unnecessary treatments or dental surgery I really did not need. Using the latest technology for dental procedures, healing time along with cost saved me a lot of agony. He cares about each patient and is honest about any work I need or don't need done. I have been to other dentists due to insurance changes, but always come back to Dr. Kachele because of his expertise and quality of work I receive. I have known him for many years. He has always been very fair working with me keeping costs very reasonable since I have an HMO dental plan. read more

I would like to take a moment and tell everyone how wonderful Dr. Kachele and his staff are. From the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out you are well taken care of. Dr. Kachele took the time to address all my dental needs and concerns. He explained things in great detail to were I understood everything and knew exactly what my treatment was going to be. They explained all my insurance and fees to were nothing was left to the imagination. Dr. Kachele and his staff are the best and I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Dr. Kachele has renewed my faith in honest, superior quality dentistry. It does exist! Dr. Kachele is very professional, patient, gentle, and thorough! I don't even feel the Novocain, (numbing), shots! It's amazing! His personality puts you at ease, and he is sincere about caring how your experience is and your dental health overall, and he is very approachable when asking questions about your procedure or anything about dentistry as a whole. He is very knowledgeable about all the latest techniques and products available on the market to help your teeth look as good as can be and help eliminate teeth sensitivity. His support staff are so nice and professional as well, and you don't feel like just a number. They truly care about you as a person! And, they are very good at reminding you of your appointment time! You won't ever forget what day and time it is for sure. Ha-ha! :) I actually leave their office after my dental procedures feeling so much better knowing I just received the best dental care ever! After all the problems I've had with dentists previously in my life, I now know what a great dental experience truly is!! Thank you Dr. Kachele and to his great staff! :) I would highly recommend going to Dr. Kachele! Your best dental experience awaits you! read more

This dentist is a money-grubbing dentist that pulled healthy teeth of mine, JUST so he could get MORE $$$!!! Not to mention, everything was paid for up-front and the only thing I still needed to pay for was to get my teeth re-lined, and he UPPED the bill MORE than THREE TIMES!!! Yeah, he's good with the pain management, but if you go to him, watch out because he'll drain your bank account!!! He pulled ALL OF MY TEETH WAAAAY TOO EARLY so he could get MORE $$$ & was also trying to convince me to get implants, KNOWING that I was gonna HATE losing ALL OF MY TEETH (ESPECIALLY while I'm still young) in order for him to get EVEN MORE $$$ in the long run... EVERY OTHER Dentist that ice EVER been to, ALWAYS tries to save your teeth, I'm the one that has to tell them, "No, just pull it, I don't wanna save it, I'm in too much pain...!" No, not THIS dentist, most of the teeth he pulled DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ANY CAVITIES!!! I FOOLISHLY listened to him and allowed him to talk me into taking ALL OF MY TEETH!!! I feel SOOOO STUPID... Then, to make matters EVEN WORSE, they try to ROB ME by more than TRIPLING my bill?!? I didn't sign up for ANY OF THIS!!! read more
