Maple Street Dental Group

First let me say I have had a lot of bad dental work, many dental nightmares and am terrified of going to the dentist. I needed to go, I knew I had some work to be done and a crack in my front tooth.
I let Dr. Wegrzyn and his back office staff know of my fear and they could not have been more accommodating. I have never been treated so nice with such care and empathy. Not even at so called we cater to chickens dentists.
The office is clean and bright, the staff is friendly and professional.
Dr. Wegrzyn does not try to up sell you, he works within your budget and lets you know what can and cant wait.
I have bad TMJ pain and he worked really hard to correct the previous dental work I had elsewhere to help even out my teeth. It has already made a big impact in helping the pain.
I just cant believe I am recommending a dentists of all things and I really can not recommend them highly enough.

OMG!!! Dr. Matt is AMAZING! I just got new dental insurance this year and I knew I wanted to avoid going to a Western Dental at all costs. My first visit here at the beginning of the year was for an exam and cleaning. I was impressed that Dr. Matt did the cleaning himself! Most dental offices you have a dental hygienist clean your teeth and the doctor just comes into check after. But what impressed me the most was that I had to get a filling yesterday and Dr. Matt was totally understanding of my fear of needles and just being at the dentist office all together. He was quick, on point, and super professional. You can be sure that I’m going to stick with Dr. Matt as my dentist for sure! My fiancé wants to see him now because of all the awesome things he’s heard about my two visits. Plus his staff is friendly and more than happy to answer any questions you may have. So thank you everyone at Maple Street Dental you guys are super awesome!

This bright clean practice is a hidden gem. I had huge anxieties about seeing a dentist after the last one I went to filled a few and handed me a bill nearly $ 1,000 with no root canals and I had PPO insurance coverage. My experience here was totally different, I went in with the problem, was able to discuss it with Dr. Wegrzyn directly after a quick X-​ray. I didn’t have any pressure or extra fluff, and he filled the cavity in less than a half an hour. The staff was genuinely kind and happily helpful. I felt like I’d been going here for years after fifteen minutes. I’d love to get my entire family in here and anyone else who needs a good honest dentist! It’s sad that I feel like that’s a rare find.

Dr. Wegrzyn is AMAZING! He is gentle, educated and sooo helpful with my smile goals. I have literally walked out of dentist offices in tears after feeling pressured. This is definitely NOT the case at Maple Street Dental Group. Janette and the rest of his team are VERY friendly and AWESOME! I look forward to making these guys my smile makers!

I just got new dental insurance and there were very few providers in the area who actually accepted our new insurance. I knew what to expect from Western Dental and wanted to avoid going there at all costs. I’m so happy that I found Maple Street Dental! It’s a pretty small office, but it’s very cozy and the staff is great! They definitely make you feel at home and go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable. Annie was my hygienist and she was so sweet and gentle during my x-​rays and cleaning. Dr. Wegrzyn was very helpful in finding a solution for my tooth pain and setting up a care plan.
Personally I don’t have anxiety about going to the dentist, but did a great job of making sure I was comfortable and knew what was going on at all times. Turns out I will be back sooner than I would like, to have a crown put on and possibly a root canal… But I’m confident that I will be on good hands!

Dr. matt and staff left a great impression on my son. They were very professional and took the time to explain the services they were providing. Most of all we appreciated their honest evaluation which we’ve had a difficult time finding at dental groups in escondido. We deeply appreciate their integrity.

The receptionist, assistant, & Doctor were all SO friendly & helpful. I hate the dentist but they made me feel welcome & comfortable, so much so that I was laughing while getting my cleaning done. Will definitely be recommending this place!

Dr. Matt is the best dentist ever and so kind. He makes u feel comfortable. I came here a few months back for a checkup and the team was awesome. They are open 4 days a week now so that is great.

This place was not bad in the past, but since they changed their office hours, it has been more difficult to make an appointment. The dentist was friendly and easygoing… I was there 10mins prior to my appointment… I was called in 15mins after my appointment time which was ok. The dental hygienist did not greet me and looked tired. The dentist gave me local anesthesia… I was waiting, waiting… waiting…Since the dental chair was not very comfortable to sit due to my sciatica, I had to stand up… and kept waiting. It seemed nobody cared about me although a couple of people passed by and took care of other patients… I just left there 35mins after I got anesthesia since I had no idea why I needed to wait for a longer period of time (in the past, I normally got a procedure around 15mins after local anesthesia). After I left the office, the front desk lady called me and left a message stating that they had an emergency. Well, nobody informed me about their emergency while I was there. Although it takes more than 30mins, I would rather go back to my previous dentist in Oceanside.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Matt at the beginning of April, and I absolutely love this place! The office is super clean and absolutely adorable and calming. The staff is super friendly, and the Dr. is super straightforward about your treatment plan and what is needed. He doesn’t try to «up sell» you like a great deal of other dentists I’ve been to. I got my fillings done last week, and it was super pain free, and it was FAST! I was in and out in less than an hour. Most places have a packed waiting room, but not this place. They get you in and out and don’t make you sit around forever waiting to be seen. I really love this dentist, and will definitely be back and have recommended them to all my co-​workers, family, and friends. Most of them have appointments in the next few weeks, and I know they won’t be disappointed with the visit, I sure wasn’t!

Needed a new dentist after cost and dental plan support with our previous office. Wife knew she had work that needed to be done, so it was important to find the right person who would support our dental plan (Delta) and jump right into that work.
PROS:
1. Very friendly staff from the receptionist to the assistant to Dr. Wegrzyn.
2. Small, quiet office in old Escondido. Not a strip mall or busy medical complex.
3. Dr. Wegrzyn is straight-​forward and efficient. My filling was much more comfortable than at other offices, due in part to the speed.
4. Small-​town feel, a stark contrast to the chain dentistry companies and large offices. The actual dentist did the work, not an assistant or «resident» dentist.
5. Supported our plan without debate about what procedures should cost or trying to upsell work.
6. Take credit card payments.
CONS:
1. Scheduling was a little tough in November 2014 (maybe due to the small scale of the office), but you need to email your request or call during very specific times/​days. Nearest appointment was a few weeks when we got through to scheduling, so plan ahead.
2. Older office with older furniture and fixtures.
3. Small lot between two small buildings, near a school, makes for a bit of a parking challenge. It also wasn’t really clear where the front door was (2^nd door on North building).
(above cons don’t warrant a star removal, just FYIs)

So, I’ve been putting off going to the dentist for far too long. Today I went to Maple Street Dental and saw Dr Wegrzyn for the first time. I explained that my anxiety coupled with rather uncompassionate dentists I had seen previously had caused me to be reluctant to sign up for more of the same maltreatment. Dr Wegrzyn thoroughly answered my questions, patiently explained what he was going to do in a calm, professional manner. Office staff, Sharon and Jeannette, were also quite pleasant. Although I’m dreading having dental work done, I’m happy to have found this gem of an office! Thank you Maple Street Dental!

We really like Dr. Matt. My husband is from Eastern Europe and has had to have a fair amount of dental work over the past 6 months, but it hasn’t been nearly as traumatizing as he expected (mostly thanks to the Western practice of using Novocaine). Dr. Matt is friendly and easy going, explains things well, and has a gentle and professional touch. The hygienist is very friendly and does a great job making you feel comfortable. Matt gives conservative recommendations for dental work, doesn’t pressure you into treatment, and has a 20% discount for people who are uninsured. More than once he hasn’t charged us for things that took his time but ultimately didn’t require treatment or he couldn’t do. He’s very responsive to questions/​concerns via email and seems to genuinely care about his patients.

I’m never stoked about going to dentist — I have a bad gag reflex and most every dental hygienist I’ve seen has treated me like an annoyance. Dr. W’s staff were really kind to me and even tried some tricks I’d never considered to help my gag reflex calm down.
The doc’s teeth cleaning was really thorough — my smile felt clean afterwards. They use a water-​pik type thing to clean your teeth, which felt a bit weird, but really worked. He applied a solution that made my gums feel healthier too. To top it all off, Dr. W was really easy to talk to. I feel pretty good about going back!

I broke a tooth and had to find a dentist fast. I checked all the reviews of all the places covered by my insurance. Maple St. Was the only place with all positive reviews (which is rare when it comes to dentists). They got me in as soon as I called and saw me right away. The dentist and his staff were all very nice.

Dr. Matt made a sleep apnea mouth piece for me and it is fantastic!!! I only use my c-​pap a few times a week now, and don’t have to take it with me when I travel. He was very nice, the fit was perfect, and the staff was helpful. I felt very welcomed and well cared for at his office. Thanks Doc! Highly recommended.

Wonderful dedication to quality dentistry! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff with high level of professionalism. The doctor made me feel at ease and didn’t rush or pressure me into any treatments. I felt comfortable and trusted his professional judgement. The hygienist is the sweetest person ever, such a happy and positive personality. I’ll most certainly be going back to her for my cleanings. It was easy to schedule an appointment and the wait time was minimal, so overall I was very happy with my experience and I do recommend them. Since I like bright indoor spaces this place was right up my alley.

I just had a really good experience at the Maple Street Dental Group and thought I’d share! The staff was friendly and polite from the beginning, even though I rescheduled last minute. But the best part was that the Dr. didn’t bullshit me. I went to another dentist who diagnosed «four cavities», but Dr. Wegrzyn gave me the real deal and told me I actually only had one. When I went back to get the filling, he was gentle and talked me through the procedure with a lot of patience and confidence — and I tend to get really nervous! I researched prices, and turns out he gave me a pretty competitive deal.
All in all — great Dr, great place. I’m definitely switching permanently and going back for my whitening trays next month.

This office, staff, and dentist is soooo much better than Escondido Dental Group. I got straight answers to my questions and didn’t feel like he was making up issues in my mouth.

Love this office. Clean and everyone is supper nice. I love the windows in every room. I left happy and confident.
