Family Dental Care

My family and I have been going to this dentist for 5 years now. I haven’t felt overcharged and they go over the pricing before any work is done. I was reading the reviews from others and I think they are mistaken with the other dentist office called FamilyDental Care which happens to be on the same street. Dr. Wadia is very thorough and she is a woman and the other reviews mentioned a «He». The receptionist Anna is very friendly and calls me a couple of days before hand to remind me of my appointment. When I do need to reschedule they never give me any hassle. Since I no longer live in Escondido and moved to the San Diego area 3 years ago our family still commutes north because of the friendly staff.

Well, went in first for fixing up a filling. They didnt force me to do x-​rays and did fix it well. Everybody was nice and my bill was what I was told.
Later on, I came back for a deep cleaning and then same thing, no x-​rays (upon my request) and came out with the job done.
These guys are not forcing and do well what you ask them to do. I got a good filling with them.

Brought my daughter in for braces. About 10 minutes later she was brought out to me in tears and a lot of pain (she has always been known to have a high tolerance for pain so i knew it must have really hurt). The staff member explained that she accidentally gouged the upper roof of her mouth with a sharp tool. She didn’t apologize nor did she seem remorseful or sympathetic. What made the experience worse was that the dentist didn’t even want to talk with us about the incident. No acknowledgement equals no liability? That was his only concern. Disheartening that there are dental businesses like this.

If I could give ZERO stars instead of one that would be more accurate. I wish I would have read these reviews before I decided to try these guys out. First off I have to say I have yet to find a dentist that doesn’t try and rip you off, with that being said this place is the worst of the worse. I went in and the sub dentist that was looking at my teeth couldn’t even tell the hygienist the right numbers of my teeth then she said I needed a deep cleaning. Another dentist came over to look at something else and commented on well I keep my teeth, WHA??! So then I get to the consult part where they discuss my future procedures and he tell me I need a deep cleaning for, get this, a mere $ 700. Really? Are these people for real? I said, um… yeah thats never gonna happen. The next week I find another dentist office I am going to check out and call Family Dental to have them send a copy of my xrays over for the new dentist to give me a second opinion, «oh thats gonna be $ 50 to that» Really! I have never been to such an awful place. Save yourself and steer clear from this place. AWFUL!

Went in as a new patient for a scheduled cleaning. They did x-​rays, then checked out my teeth, told me where I needed fillings, and sent me off to make an appointment for those. When I said, «what about the cleaning?» they said they wanted to give me fillings first. I said «But I came in because I wanted to have my teeth cleaned too» «well, we can’t do that» «Why not?» «That would be malpractice»
Funny thing was, my wife came in as a new patient just a week prior, got x-​rays, and had a cleaning. Malpractice?
I should note, when I was in the waiting room, one woman left crying because her bill reflected things that she was not told about earlier, and as she sobbed, she said «HE IS LYING!» over and over as she left. And the next woman in the waiting room saw on her invoice that she was being charged for a tooth extraction on a tooth that was MISSING WHEN HER KID GOT THERE. Coincidence? maybe. But counting me in the hour I was there, they were 0-​for-​3.
The equipment also seems to be from the stone age compared to my previous dentist.

This dental office is horrible! Don’t go here unless you really want to get bent over! The tell you everything is fine that your teeth are perfectly healthy and the to come back less than a year later for them to tell you that you need almost $ 7000 worth of dental work! It is just a way for them to get money! Not a great doctor, really horrible!
