Donna was extremely helpful, courteous, pleasant and explained the procedure step by step as she worked on me. She was always asking me if I was OK. She really impressed me.

Waiting room furniture becomes very uncomfortable if waiting more than 20 minutes (or more) past appointment time for treatment or consultation. If you ever replace the chairs, could you please consider more upholstered furniture such as love seats and or sofas? And perhaps a soft window treatment (mini-blinds or the like) to cut down on the glare from the parking lot. Other than that, very nice staff, and everyone is couteous and professional. Thank you.

During a recent visit to your SC Office I was seen by the dental hygienist - I was amazed at how caring and attentive she was - she really made me feel at ease (comfortable with the treatment taking place).

My visit was a good one, however, I was at the office for way too long. I had a 2pm appt. and did not get back to a chair until 2:30pm. The xrays, exam, and cleaning took another 1.5 hours. Again, that took too long and I was waiting here and there a lot. I will be coming back, however, as everyone was nice and I believe I will have a good dental experience once the work starts.

Dr Joe was great, very patient and gentle with my teeth/mouth. The hygenist (don't remember her name..letisha??) was very rough with the polishing/flossing. I did not enjoy the way she handled my cleaning.

When we booked our appointment for check-up and cleaning we were explicit that we wanted an ortho consult as well. We went expecting both only to find out that the Orthodontist wasn't there that day so we have to come back. Not happy that we have to come back one other time when we were under the impression we were handling both in the same visit. Otherwise it was a pleasant visit and Dr. Joe is nice. Thanks!

I love the way they explain exactly what my insurance will cover and what I will owe. I also love the way they each explain the procedure that you are going to have that day. Everyone takes as much time as you need to understand what your procedure is all about.

The office is clean, and for the most part staff is friendly. There were 2 people with the same name when I was there, and when both stood up the assistant took the girl who ran to her first, didn't check the last names to see which patient she was supposed to get. When the receptionist was asked about it she said "oh well we are getting the room ready for you". As it turns out, she took the wrong person in, the patients name on the chart was mine, and as a result my appointment started a 1/2 hour later than it should have. Not the dentists fault, we love her. If a patient has a concern and is trying to get to the bottom of something, even if the patient is a teen, don't just brush them off. My parent was called into the room that I was supposedly in to discuss any plans for my dental care, but the person in the room was not me, but my chart with my name was in there. I will come back again, just would like to not be treated like I don't matter.

Overall I think my Dental visit was good. The hygentist was very nice and helpful. However I don't think the after care of my treatment was very effective I had to ask during my cleaning, if there are things to not eat etc. It's been two weeks and it still hurts to drink water I was never told the sensitivity would last that long.

I can safely say that I LOVE my dental office and my dentist. I actually look forward to coming in for my semi annual cleanings! The front desk is very friendly and my dentist is so personable yet still professional. I've made a few recommendations to my mom and boyfriend who were needing good dental care, and they were very pleased to come to this office and see what I've been talking about the whole time!

Due to some past disturbing experiences, I arrived with apprehension. As reflected in my rating, the team was wonderful. One area should be noted. I was late in work completion and the office was closing. Three times the power was cut off as assistant was applying two temporaries. It became dark and machinery ceased. We experienced frustration.

I have not had great experiences with Dentists in the past. The main reason I don’t go to a dentist on a regular bases has been because I would always leave unsatisfied. My visits felt more about them trying to sell me something I didn’t need and they didn’t care about my overall health. I really liked my Dentist and Hygienist in this office. The dental assistants and the benefits coordinator/receptionist were awesome. They all did a great job in not only fixing what needed to be fixed, but they did a great job in educating me to prevent further problems. I had no hesitation in paying out of my pocket the fees my insurance didn’t cover because they built TRUST with me first. With that said, I trusted my dentist and Hygienist and the benefits coordinator on the recommendations they gave me because I felt they were looking out for my health and my finances and they were not trying make a sale. I like my dentist, I never thought I would say that! =) I’m definitely going to

Everyone was great. You were my third dentist in less than two years. I am glad I found you (and so conveniently located near my home). I was not very satisfied with my previous dentists for various reasons but was very pleased with all the personnel in your office.

I was less than impressed with the benefits coordinator who dealt with me. Whilst I was prepared for a high-cost visit (or series of visits), I felt that she was pressuring me to not try a payment plan and to pay all at once. I don't mind paying, but the plan made it much easier for me to say "yes" rather than have to shop around for different care. Other than that, Dr. Joe was fantastic, as was my hygienist Donna. Both of them were excellent, and didn't spend too much time bashing me for not seeing a dentist in a while. I was very pleased with both of them.

Visiting a dental office - ANY dental office - is among my LEAST favorite activities. Therefore, it's difficult for me to rate all services as perfect, as they rightfully should be at San Clemente Dental. Please be patient with me as I'm learning to be comfortable with your office and staff.

the polishing of my teeth is completed in under a minute. the tool barely touches each tooth and is just swept through my mouth. my past dentists sit there and make sure to polish each tooth and all sides and it takes a while. this just seems like a hurry-it-up-and-get-her-out deal.

Was concerned with all the x-rays taken. It seemed as though some were taken more than once or twice in the same area. It certainly was more than I had experienced in any other dentist's office when getting a full mouth set of x-rays.

Office was overall very good, 2 of the dental staff were arguing in front of the room I was in about who would do the polishing, in Spanish and then English, a little unprofessional. Eventually, the dentist came in and did the polishing and apologized for the wait, saying they were exceptionally busy that day. She was very professional and kind.
