Michael Klein, DMD

Dr. Klein has been our families dentist for over 10 years. I am writing this review as a thank you for all the service Dr. Klein has provided us, if you want to be treated as a person/​family member you could not pick a better Dr. I would also like to give a shout out to Dawn, your the best!

I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Klein and his office and I am happy to give him and his office the best review possible.
This is the place to go! I come from a family of dental professionals (stepdad is retired dentist; his wife, my mother, is a RDH, registered Dental Hygienist). I’ve grown up with the best care around and I know how hard it is to find a top notch practice. Well, look no further.
When my family of five relocated to SD 10 years ago, we had to find a new dentist. Dr. Klein was a neighbor of mine so I decided to visit his office. Right from the start, I knew this was going be our one and only dentist for a very long time.
Dr. Klein is professional and knowledgeable and honest. His staff, most of whom have been in this office for years (this is actually not very common like it once was), are equally professional. They all greet you and remember who you are and take time with each and every cleaning. There is never any «upsell» on products or procedures or inventing problem/​cavities etc. that he can fix. In fact, between us five, we have had at least 50 cleanings here (2x year) and only one or two cavities as we have always made dental hygiene a priority while they did their part in maintaining our dental health.
They typically keep you with the same professional hygienist so as to build a relationship and all five of us have our «own» although that can change from time to time depending on schedules and if you have to reschedule. Thus, we have all seen several hygienists and they are fantastic. You get almost a full hour of cleaning whereas most places try to cut you down to 30 minute time slots.
Suffice it to say, THIS is the best practice around.
Thank you, Dr. Klein.
p. s. I was inspired to write this review after we stupidly bought a teeth whitening «kit» from New Smile Dental/​Third Party provider (big mistake)…we had to get the kit through a dentist in La Jolla. It was the WORST experience ever and it reminded me how lucky we were to have Dr. Klein as our regular dentist!

By far the best dentist and staff my wife and I have ever been to. They are always super nice and give us the best advice. Dr. Klein does not try to «sell» you something you don’t need when compared to other dentists in the area.
Before Dr. Klein, the last dentist I had told me I had three cavities that I needed to get filled. I went to Dr. Klein to get a second opinion and he said my teeth were fine. That was two years ago and haven’t had any issues with teeth.
He is passionate about taking care of his patients and is one of the friendliest dentists we’ve met.
I’d also like to add that this office has the best dental hygienists! They are super nice and extremely considerate when cleaning our teeth.
Highly Recommended!

Our family has been going to Dr. Klein for several years. What I value most about him and his dental assistants is the GREAT work they do and their high level of integrity. I have been to other dentists who have ripped me off and did unnecessary work. I never have to worry about that with Dr. Klein. He only does what is needed, and makes sure you are happy with his work, which is very meticulous. My three children have been going to him from the age of 3. The dental assistants were extra friendly with them and made their first visits so positive and fun. Now they actually look forward to going to the dentist! Dr. Klein has gained a family of life-​long customers. Thank you!

I came to Dr. Klein for a second opinion as I was told by another dentist I had 2 cavities and it was going to cost $ 450 to fill them. I have good dental insurance, however even with my insurance I was told I would still owe $ 450. I’ve never had any cavities and was surprised to find out that I had 2. I have no pain at all in my mouth either. I decided to go to Dr. Klein for a second opinion and am so glad I did. After looking at my x-​rays and examining my teeth he told me my teeth look good and I have no cavities. He also said $ 450 was way more than it should cost with insurance for 2 cavities. I know I can trust Dr. Klein and have already booked my next cleaning with him. Couldn’t be happier.

I love Dr. Klein… he is the most HONEST, efficient, gentle dentist I have ever experienced. I hate having my teeth cleaned but realize it’s necessary, as I’d like to keep my teeth. He has filled cavities like a champ and never tries to upsell me. RaCole cracks me up every time I go, and it sure makes the process easier. He really does amazing work, and has the nicest smile and head of hair I think I have ever seen! I was referred to Dr. Klein by a friend and have since recommended him to countless others. I moved to North Park years ago, and I will always go back to Dr. Klein-he’s well worth the trip!

Dr. Michael Klein goes above and beyond. You always feel you have his full attention and he is willing to pull the curtain back and give you insight to his process and subject matter expertise. Advanced technologies create a truly custom experience. His staff, especially Dawnn, makes the whole experience easier and pleasant. Friends. Weekends, day-​off nothing stops this team from getting you put back together.

I will recommend this office to anyone and everyone!
I hadn’t had a teeth cleaning in 2 years and was recommended to dr Klein thru a friend. Needed an evening appointment or Saturday I called and made an appointment that was 2 months away! Kinda bummed it wasn’t sooner the receptionist said she would call me if there was any cancelations… And she sure did! Called me 3 times with openings and finally the 3^rd was at the right time!
When I went in my hygienist Rene was so sweet and explained everything to me! She did an amazing job on my teeth and then when meeting Dr Klein he said I had pretty teeth! Go here you will be happy! Beautiful office, great staff, and they won’t sell you on anything you don’t need!

I’ve been going to Dr. Klein for about 10 years. I must say i’m sad to leave because of a change in insurance. In all that time i’ve always felt comfortable and in good hands. This place is trustworthy. The office is extremely clean, new and well kept. The place is run efficiently and on time. I’ve never been up sold on unnecessary work. The hygienists are friendly. I’ve always felt like I could trust Dr. Klein’s professional opinion so I highly recommend him. My whole family has gone to him and had good experiences.

Dr. Klein will never mislead a person on what work he/​she needs to have done. He cares about the welfare of his patients.
I went to Dr. Klein a year ago after a previous dentist tried to sell me two new fillings on teeth I had just had fixed the year prior in San Francisco. Confidence shaken, I switched to Dr. Klein. In my first cleaning, he found nothing wrong with the teeth, hence no work necessary! And recently I broke a crown, or the porcelain chipped away but the crown was in tact, and he helpfully and candidly said that the crown was in good shape and unless I was worried about the aesthetics/​appearance, I didn’t need to replace it. He filed down the inner chipped side and sent me on my way… no charge.
Highly recommend Dr. Klein and staff.

I am so glad that we found Dr. Klein! He is not only extremely competent, but a very genuine and caring person! He was able to fill both my children’s cavities (8 and 5) without using any gas. He established a trusting relationship with my children that left them smiling! This means the world to mean and am very appreciative to have found such a wonderful dentist
Thank-​You!

Dr. Klein and his staff are top notch. I took my daughter there for a second opinion and now he is our family’s dentist. Trustworthy, no nonsense, efficient, and everyone is extremely pleasant and caring. Love this office!

I have been a patient of Dr Klein’s for several years now. It seems as though they outperform themselves at each and every visit! I always leave there happy and singing their praises, so thought it was time to submit an official review.
Staff are the best around! Genuine, caring, competent, friendly — I could go on and on. Sonia cleans my teeth and has the patience of an angel! I have TMJ so she inserts a bite block during cleaning, helping me to relax my jaw and not tire out quickly. She even pauses now and then for me to have a break. Dawn assists with my fillings and other dental work. She is super nice! When I see her every few months it’s like catching up with an old friend. She makes suggestions and follows up with Dr Klein on anything you may have mentioned. She went above and beyond when I was having my teeth bleached to ensure I was 100% satisfied. Luba, the receptionist/​scheduler, is a real sweetheart. Great person to have in the front. Always makes me feel welcomed.
Dr Klein is knowledgable, does great work, and most importantly — he is honest and fair. I have been ripped off by dentists before and I am completely confident this would never happen here. There have been times he hasn’t even charged me for things! He will NEVER try to sell you something you don’t need. I usually owe little to nothing once the insurance processes my claim.
Dr Klein has everything that is necessary for a successful business — good location, great office staff, reasonable pricing and quality work/​service. If you’re looking for a dentist, give Dr Klein a try. You won’t be disappointed.

I had been given a recommendation for Dr Klein about 5 years ago but just kept putting it off. Finally after almost 6 years of not going to the dentist (horrible, I know!) I finally went. I totally trusted my co-worker’s referral but sometimes other people’s opinion doesn’t mean it will be what I’m looking for. So after reading several other reviews on Unilocal,I decided it was time to go. Of course I was freaking out on what they might find, could I actually have a cavity or worse?
So I head checking in and doing new patient paperwork and I see Dr Klein. I knew it was him because my co-​worker told me he wears some «equipment» on his head. I think when I saw Dr Klein I kind of giggled a little. Not only was he good looking (shhhh don’t tell!) but the thing on his head was funny to me. And no, I’m not 12 years old. ;)
Sonjia cleaned my teeth and explained everything to me-​the tools before she used them, what they were used for, what I’d be expecting. Certainly wasn’t expecting the gum depth checker to shout out the number as she went along and checked my gums-​neat! Very up-​to-​date tools, which led me to think, was Dr Klein just ahead with technology or what this the norm now? Thought maybe a lot had changed in 6 years. LOL
So after the cleaning, in came Dr Klein. Wasn’t super nervous, for some reason I felt safe, very comfortable. Then he says he might see something under a sealant that I have and to come back in two weeks for a filling. And of course, I started freaking out. Not in front of Dr Klein but on the way home I was for sure.
The filling went great-​Dr Klein and the gal (don’t remember her name) were AWESOME and the proceedure was comfortable and I will definitely continue to return for regular dental exams.

Best dentist and staff ever! I found Dr Klein through Unilocal.From the get-​go, the staff was super organized and got me into the office swiftly, thanks to their great call-​back waiting list system. I needef a root canal with a crown. I really appreciated that the ladies at the front desk gave me the complete insurance break down prior to rendering service. There were no surprises. Dr Klein works quietly, he is gentle and I was so impressed how he used digital photographs and started shaping my crown on-​screen right in front of me. Much like using Photoshop, he rendered dimension and texture, it was fascinating. No impressions, no wait time. 10 min later, the crown was in my mouth!
Since then, my children have been coming for cleanings and check-​ups and are just as comfortable as I was. Great service all the way!!!

I haven’t had a regular dentist in a long time. When I lived on the east coast, I went to the local dental school to get work done when I needed it. After moving to the west coast, I got a Groupon for South Oceanside Dental group. I hadn’t been to the dentist in a couple of years and my teeth were bothering me a bit, but I was still shocked to see the $ 4000 estimate they gave me! It included a root canal, several fillings and laser cleaning.
I figured I should get a second opinion before forking out that kind of cash (no insurance). I saw the reviews for Dr. Klein here on Unilocal and made an appointment. I saw Sonia and Dr. Klein for my first appointment. I had a full set of x-​rays done (again) and a cleaning. Sonia did a great job on the cleaning and was very kind and professional. Turns out, I needed 1 filling. That’s it. They said I could wait on the laser cleaning and if I did need it in the future, it would only be in one area and a lot cheaper than the price quoted by Oceanside Dental Group.
I went back for the filling today and saw Dawn and Dr. Klein. Dawn is a sweetheart! So friendly! I had impressions taken for a night guard (I grind/​clench my teeth at night) and bleaching trays as well. No pain at all with the injection or filling or tonight after the lidocaine wore off.
I’ve been VERY happy so far and made an appointment today for my boyfriend. I think we’ve found our dentist! So glad because a good (and honest) one is so hard to find!

It had been over a yr. since my last dental visit. I enjoyed my cleaning experience with Racole. She was kind enough to offer me a topical numbing gel since I get squeamish during the scraping. Dr. Klein was pleasant and easy to talk with. He was interested in my areas of concern. I actually look forward to returning to his office in 6 months.

Dr. Klein and his whole staff are amazing! They are far and away the BEST Dentist my wife or I have ever visited. They are extremely friendly and take wonderful care of you. The front office staff gets you in the door immediately (literally NO wait when I visited).
The technicians are very good at what they do and work quickly. They have the best technology and everything is clean. I really can’t say enough about the staff at Dr. Klein’s office and wish anyone good luck in finding a better dentist :)

I first started coming to Dr. Klein when he was starting out in a little office down by the Timekeeper place. He did, in fact, do his own cleaning at the time.
Though short in stature, Dr. Klein is long in experience and I’ve been quite satisfied with his work over the years. He «owns» probably ²⁄₃ of the work in my mouth now. His assistants are friendly and quite expert, his hygienist doesn’t try to upgrade your cleaning and has a caring attitude. Yep, I often skip cleaning for too long but they don’t beat me up about it either.
I’ll continue to go there.
