Santee Town Ctr Dental Group

DANGER!! CUIDADO!!! Had to have an emergency root canal and this place was the only one who could take me on a Friday. I was examined by the head ENDO guy... but then I was worked on by a young contract dentist who was taking quite a LONG time. The head guy consults with him, then comes in and says I have one root that is totally calcified but I should be fine. He put some temp fillings and sent me on my way. A few days later I went to have a crown put on it at a REAL dentist in Poway. When the temp was taken off, they found an oozing perforation in the root that they couldn't find and she had to extract the tooth. more

I give these guys one star because zero is not an option. Worst experience ever and I will not go back. Here is why:\r \r The wait to get in. 45 minutes.

No one before me so why the wait?\r \r The x-ray tech took x-rays when I had JUST had them done 2 days ago at their sister office across the street! Why did I need them again? Because they had not gotten them from their partner office less than 1/4 mile away?\r \r The x-rays were badly taken and had to be re-taken before the dentist would talk to me.\r \r I asked the The dentist what he was going to do, and he never told me. Once he just walked out of the room as I was talking to him. \r \r I told him I was nervous, anxious and somewhat terrified. No offer of anti-anxiety pills, gas, whatever. But as I left the front desk receptionist said I should have asked for something and that they routinely prescribe that for anxious more

We were very please with the price for their cleanings. They had the $39 special. We called around to other dentists and their cleanings were going to be approximately 250, so we ended up saving quite a bit of money. The Dentist's and Dental Assistants are all very pleasant and have wonderful demeanors. We will be going back. more
