  • Thorough explanations and attentive follow-up
  • Skilled surgical technique
  • Staff professionalism and warmth

Most patients describe a warm, welcoming practice where Dr. Macwan, Dr. Lee, and staff put them at ease quickly. Appointments are easy to book and appointments move efficiently. Reviewers consistently praise the dentists' friendliness and the team's care. However, at least one detailed account flags serious concerns: a patient was recommended four cavities, multiple unnecessary treatments, and extractions that independent second and third opinions found baseless. The patient also received an undisclosed fluoride treatment and was billed months later despite explicitly refusing it. While this stands as a single account against overwhelmingly positive reviews, the complaint pattern suggests a mismatch between diagnosis standards and independent verification.

Dr. Mariscal and his team earn consistent praise for painless extractions, detailed explanations of treatment, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps patients returning for years.
