  Went to Dr. Ed to have my tooth filling fixed after it came off, he sounded confident, mentioned his over 20 years of experience & guaranteed he can make my smile better..so... he got me convinced to have a bridge done to fill a missing tooth & fix a teeth gap (my childhood dream) , He was in & out of my room & other patient's room (which I'm sure is normal to check on his assistants working on other patients) however I noticed him not washing or sanitizing his hands before coming back to my teeth, not making this up but he also touched my teeth many times while explaining & working without gloves on his hands . I was nauseated & disgusted but afraid to say anything coz it may embarrass him but also afraid he might do a lousy job or charge me tons of money. I came in with 2 dental insurances from my 2 jobs (Delta & Scripps PPO), for whatever reason his office is more interested & having me pay cash or charge my card rather than going to pre approval process. To make the story short I ended doing his assistant job to have my insurance reimburse me for half of the 4,000 they charged me. This is not end of my nightmare with this self proclaimed best orthodontist in town...2-3 weeks after they had me come in because my new porcelain bridge is ready to be installed to my teeth.... color is too white (like a tile from 1980's kitchen top) rather than my natural teeth color...I asked why is the color too different ?? His answer was... he can whiten the rest of my teeth to match my new bridge but of course for additional $$$ (it's like I came in to a car shop to have one broken door replaced but instead of painting just the new door to match the car .. he wanted to paint the whole car to match the door) . I never had this service before in my life & had no clue that I could dispute & should have reported his practice to California Dental Board & California Dental association & possibly request a peer review to justify how bad his work is. Without his knowledge I am an IV RN case manager for a major hospital here in SD, He made me understand why we get a tons of endocarditis (infection & inflammation of heart lining) cases after pt undergoing a dental procedure. His practice is very questionable & should be monitored by State health department for poor infection control violation (I really wish i videotaped him with my iphone while working on my teeth showing he was not washing his hands & working w/o gloves) costing Medicare & Medical tons of money for treatment of post dental surgery complications. He caused me tons regret & depression for having him work on my teeth & seeing my teeth on the mirror... Seen him 3rd time coz bridge came off from the tooth stump after 4 months , came off again less than 2 weeks after...got so traumatized so I followed my old dentist to Oceanside to have her reattach the bridge...it's been 2 years now & still inplace, she also informed me that the bridge is a less than 300$ from China... I think I can do better job with my dremel tool than this man. I dont recommend him to anybody,

  This is the single honest dental office I've found in North Count in my 36 years of living here. I've been told by various dentists over the past 15 years that I've needed multiple cavities filled (one dentist told me I had three cavities in a single visit). One even told me I needed a root canal (this was the dentist my parents had been taking me to in Solana Beach since I was 8 years old). I didn't have any of the work done on the recommendation of a family member who is a dentist in Scottsdale (his assessment without even looking at my teeth was rent is high in North County so dentists here need to generate revenue; almost unbelievable I know). In the last three years I've been coming to this office they never once told me I needed any cavities filled. This is without getting any of the previous "cavities" filled or "root canals" drilled. In a sea of scam artist dentists, this office stands out as the lone beacon of honesty. They don't have the nicest or newest equipment and office, but they are nice people and will clean your teeth without scamming you to drill into perfectly healthy teeth.
