Anna Durkin DDS: Anna V Durkin, DDS

I don't agree with the negative reviews about Dr. Durkin's competency. I think she is a very good dentist, and by the way I pay cash, so I am a bit more discerning. My family has had had some complicated procedures with her and all work was done very professionally. more

I have been treated by Dr Durkin for years & i am extremely happy with her & her work. I like her because she is caring and honest. I dont have that "dread" or "fear" when i have to get work done on my teeth & having the confidence i have in her ability makes going to the dentist the best it can be. more

Very gentle doctor and freindly staff. I have made deep cleaning ($104) and partial lower denture ($450).The denture was fulfilled in time, very punctually. more

Excellent service and quality. Thank you. more

The only dental care I experienced here was a regular teeth cleaning, which, by the way, was great. Normally I'd be difficult to impress by a dental practice since my previous dentist was so darned good, but this dental experience was by far the most pleasant ever. Their customer service is top notch; everyone there is so friendly. Dr. Durkin is great to converse with, so much that I was able to relax and be comfortable the whole time. It's not about being talkative (I had a hygienist in the past who was quite agitating with the motor-mouth droning actually); she really is humorous and engaging. She was also very willing to answer my questions as well. I will definitely be coming back again in six months! thank you dr durkin more

your are the best dr durkin i love your staff there great more

Thanks to you dr durkin I got over my anxiety over dental clinics. When I was a kid, my mother would drag me to the oral physician (DDS) in san diego to have my teeth checked  and cleaned. Now, I can do that on my own without being nervous! more

I came here to see Dr. Durkin upon the recommendation of many...MANY co workers. I've always hated going to the dentist but now I know that I've just had really bad dentists in the past. The office was very warm and cozy (very unlike a typical sterile Dr's. Office) . she cleaned my teeth and it didn't hurt she is the best . Unlike my other dentists, Dr. Durkin listened to what I needed and what concerned me. This made the whole very pleasant.the staff is great and so is Anton he help me with all the options thank you so much your great more

Simply the best dentist I have ever gone to. Dr durkin has done a lot of dental work for me and I've never been more comfortable when I'm there. All of the staff there is thoughtful and kind. Best of all, they're extremely good at what they do. Going to the dentist used to be a terrible chore I would dread, but now I almost look forward to it. Dr durkin helped me with a new crown for a front tooth. She wouldn't settle for anything less than a perfect match and kept sending the crown back until it looked exactly like my other teeth. Other dentists are quick to apply hardware so they can get you out the door but Dr durkin is different. Most importantly, the new crown really is perfect (so much better than the one I had before). The office itself is spotless and state of the art. Since going to Emagen, I've now come to realize that the dentist doesn't have to be a painful experience. I've had several deep cavities filled that didn't hurt at all. Last week I called with a toothache and they got me in within hours to check it out. anton is always helpful in explaining the charges so that you're not in the dark with what's going on with your insurance. you won't leave the office wondering what you just spent so much money on. anton, along with the assistants are fantastic) and Dr durkin all make an effort to know you as a person and not just a customer more

I have a fear of anything dental. Imagine, I was almost crying when my dentist Anna Durkin told me my wisdom teeth had to be removed. She did a great job explaining my x-rays, the procedure to me . On the day of my surgery, I was a little nervous, but the entire staff made me feel at ease, and Dr.Durkin took care of those wisdom teeth in no time flat...no, really, it only took 20 minutes for her to extract them. I thought it would take about an hour and a half. During my recovery weekend, Dr.Durkin was even kind enough to call me to see how I was doing. Seriously, I have faith in dentists again. more

I am a dentist's best client as long as I remember myself.  Is it genes or too much antibiotics in my childhood - I don't know why my teeth get holes so easily. When I was thirty my front teeth were already covered by veneer and I had 8 crowns - thanks to a good dentist I found in New Jersey. Eleven years ago we moved to San Diego and I started my quest to find a good dentist here. Well, it's easier to meet a princess than a good dentist. The first dentist was beyond the horrible. He could not clean my teeth properly so he simply drilled holes in my enamel where he found stains. He was very proud of himself, I retreated all in tears and started to ask everybody if they can recommend me a dentist. One of my husband's colleagues named me a doctor who she thought was ok.  I got stuck with that dentist for many years. He was cleaning my teeth and did a few fillings rather clumsily - and that was about it.  Meanwhile my teeth were slowly deteriorating but I could not trust him to fix them. I kept searching for a doctor with smart hands - no one was happy with their doctors enough to give recommendations. Good dentists are rare. When one of my friends finally recommends me Dr. Durkin, I had so many bad teeth with cavities and inflammations that it started to affect my general health. I came to Dr. Durkin's office in need of one tooth extraction, new bridge, several crowns and complete remake of all front teeth.  Doctor looked at my xrays and patiently explained what I need and why. All her explanations made sense to me so I decided to give it a try. After the first root canal I realized that Dr. Durkin has smart hands and an excellent education. One and a half years later I can smile wide again, all my bad teeth are fixed and I know they will never be in a bad shape again since I found the doctor who is looking after me. My whole family - my husband and both of my kids are going there. I feel lucky - because I consider it luck to find a good dentist. I also feel grateful. Thank you, doctor Durkin! more

Hey, guys, when I go to a dentist my first priority is the quality and profeesionalism of the service provided. Dr. Anna has magic hands. When it is about some painful procedure (extraction, rootcanal, etc) I drive to San Diego to see Dr. Anna. more

My wife, 6 year old son,and I have been seeing Dr. Durkin for the last 2 years, and each time we have received Professional and Painless care. We consider Dr. Durkin to be an excellent dentist and would recommend her to anyone. She has performed extractions,root canals,filled cavities,provided deep-cleaning,polishing, etc,etc. All the usual dental work that used to scare not only us but our 6 year old as well. Her technique and ability to reduce the usual pain associated with all dental procedures will keep our family as customers and advocates to her practice! Thanks Dr. Durkin! more

I don't like the dentist very much, but Dr Durkin is very genital and makes you feel very comfortable. I recommend them to anyone. more
