    Dr. Mechael is fantastic! She is so friendly, and made me feel comfortable from the moment she introduced herself. She was sure to explain each procedure she was going to do before she did it, so that I felt comfortable and understood what was happening.

    Very nice office amd staff, The doctor was very friendly. Knowledgeable and had a very good sense of humor. She explained everything to me. My cleaning looks beautiful. I also have gotten my back wisdom tooth pulled and I must say it wasn't that much swelling not that much discomfort. I will keep going to this dentist. I think I found me a keeper.

    I haven’t been to the dentist in so long so I must admit I was a bit nervous! But honestly service was great from the start! The nurse up front was very friendly and helped get my insurance stuff figured out and the doctors were so friendly and funny I felt so comfortable. They gave great advise and they really do want to make your smile healthy and bright! I plan to come here for a very long time. Thank you El Cajon family dental team (:
