40/30 Dental

I always liked the dentists here but updating my review in regards to the new office staff. OMG, SO DAMN RUDE!!! I hadn’t been here in a couple of years and the old clerks are gone and these new hires are terrible. These new front desk clerks are curt, have really thick accents you can’t understand them (possibly middle eastern, not sure) and they do not understand English well. I had called in to verify an appointment and the lady canceled my appointment. I said S-​L-​O-​W-​L-​Y nooooo, I need to verify my appointment time NOT cancel it! She said oh you’re appointment is at 5pm. I was like «Uh, no, that’s not correct. It was at 1pm or 2pm, I know because of my kid’s schedule. I would never set up an appointment for 5pm. Are you looking at the correct patient?» She made a mistake. When I had called in to make the appointment, same issue, clerk rude and did not understand me. The dentists are excellent but the clerks are really unprofessional and need to be watched. They blow patients off over the phone. Be firm! The dentists are excellent but keep your eye on the clerks, they will over charge you, charge you twice and mess up appointments. They need to hire new office staff!

Was looking for a new dentist and went here on a whim since they’re close to my apartment. I first came in for my initial visit for teeth cleaning. It was cool until the girl was about to charge me the wrong co pay!!! It was a long day for me and I spaced out I gave her my card and right when she was about to swipe it I told her wait hold on don’t I have two insurances and she said oh yeah hold on… Oh you’re co pay actually is _​_​_​_​_​_​. What the hell dude is this how you run a business? The second time I went back I got my fillings. The dentist had told me that I might have to get a root canal and blah blah blah. That was a whole bunch of crap. I went to another dentist down the street from this one and they had told me that this dentist did a crap job on cleaning my teeth and also my fillings were crap. ALSO that I did not need a root canal anytime soon. Don’t do business with them.

Awesome! Staff is so sweet and doctor extracted my tooth in less than 5 min! Definitely going back for my dental work. They also work set up payment plans if necessary.

I had to get into the Dental office at the last minute. I lost a crown on Sunday. As always the ladies were able to get me in to get the crown fixed. It was great that I did not have to wait for a few days to try to get in.
It is nice to go to see the dentist here. And not I can get back to work and not have to lose time off.

I own a business across the street from ⁴⁰⁄₃₀ dental. Yesterday, I was in pain because of swollen gum/​infected tooth. I called my regular dentist but she could not accommodate me. At first I was hesitant to see another dentist but I’m glad I did. I called ⁴⁰⁄₃₀ dental and informed them of my problem. They told me to come and we will take care of the problem. After about an hour later I felt better and back to work. I would like to thank you, Dr. Michelle and your assistants who made this experience possible. Your Professionalism and courteous service is very appreciated by this patient. I strongly recommend ⁴⁰⁄₃₀ Dental to everyone.

Another fantastic visit with the ladies of ⁴⁰⁄₃₀. In by 5:15 out by 6… including lots of chit chat and catching up on life since I hadn’t seen them in 6mths. My teeth look and feel wonderful. So many people ask about my beautiful teeth and smile… it’s genetics, apples and ⁴⁰⁄₃₀ Dental.

Dr. Aldarie is RUDE and extremely unprofessional. False price advertising. Was yelled at and told to «Get the F*** out of my store» while trying to get a copy of my x’rays to take to a professional dentist. Will be reporting them to the Dental Board and definately not returning to this horrible establishment. Do yourselves a favor… don’t go here! All the positive reviews on here are their family members or false profiles.

Hello Everyone. First I Need to start By Saying DONT GO TO THIS DENTIST!
Ill Make the Story Short AND SIMPLE
I Walked In to make an Appt and Thier was a a Caucasian Woman in her early or mid 40s SITTING BEHIND THE COUNTER CHEWING THE END OF HER PEN WHILE SUCKING HER TEETH! she was a Snotty B*tch!
She had TOO MUCH Botox in her lips and face and she was
When She Said WHY R U Here?
I told her bc im in severe pain and need to be seen by the dr.
She Replies. Do You Have the Money bc you have no insurance you wrote here.
Yes obviously i have the money if im standing here. but just like ANY other DR Visit i will pay at the end Of my Appt!!!
She was literally throwing everything around Huffing and Puffing like i wasnt good enought to be there.
The hispanic nurse was amazing!!!
Then its time to finally see the Dr (DR. TOM SCARFE)
OMG Yes it Gets worse.
The Dr Scarfe Enters and he looks HIGH as a Kite on some sort of drug. Probably writing himself pain pill scripts to get a buzz to kill off the effects of his Cruel Crazy Looking Wife.
He looks at my xrays and goes on and on about how my teeth need this done and that done ect ect
He seriously looked at me with the nurse standing there not knowing what to say.
(almost looked like she felt so bad but couldnt say anything)
and he replies.
alright now do you have the 350 for me to extract this tooth for you?
I said hmmm i thought i only needed 100 today and i can make payments???
Who the heck can pull that out of thier pockets that easy.
I ONLY came into this dentist bc they told me when i walked in that i can make payments .
or at least just pay 100 that day.
Nope he said he wont touch me then…
he got up being really mean. threw his latex gloves in the trash and said to the nurse.
ok you deal with her and book her for when she has the money i dont have time for this crap.
I cried my eyes out knowing thier are such evil people out there.
Karmas beautiful though and they will get what they deserve!
IVE NEVER HEARD A PROFESSIONAL SO CRUEL HEARTED IN MY LIFE!!!
DONT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED LESS THAN AND UNCARED FOR SEVERELY… MAKE SURE YOUR CARRYING UNLIMITED AMOUNTS OF FUNDS IN YOUR WALLET/​PURSE IF YOU HAVE NO INSURANCE!,
OH AND THEY WILL LIE TO GET YOU BACK THIER. THEN YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BE BILLED LOL NO WIN SITUATION

OMG I cant believe this place is still open! RUDE & IGNORANT is all I can say.
I Was treated like an animal and the receptionist was throwing papers and pens around at me. Ive NEVER felt so UNCOMRFTABLE & EMBARRASSED in my entire Life!
As soon as the Dr Came to get Me
He Looked me up and Down and asked me ‘can you afford this visit ok sir?“
WTH…i had to look him up and down and reply «I think im good. id rather be in pain then be teated HORRIBLY!
DONT GO TO ⁴⁰⁄₃₀ ON 6175 EL CAJON BLVD
UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE THROWN AND KICKED AROUND VERBALLY!

I have the worst teeth, cavities filled, root canals, then eventually losing my teeth. I have been to so many dentists over my 54 yrs. Dr. Aldarie does dentistry the way it use to be done, without all the whistles and newest gadgets, gets in there and completes the job. He works on one patient at a time, not like old dentist that worked three patients at a time. I am in and out fast. The best thing about this office is that it is open in the evenings, so work is not affected by my bad teeth. I would recommend Dr. Aldarie and his wonderful staff to anyone looking for dentist.

Dr. Aldarie is amazing!!! As a child I was not taken to the dentist like I should have been ad unfortunately I’m having to play dental catch up now. I just recently moved here with my husband and was so nervous about finding a new dentist but coming to ⁴⁰⁄₃₀ was the beat decision they work with you after your insurance reaches it’s max and even if you need to make personal payments they will complete the work! My husband is military so yes we get dental insurance but it’s not the greatest and dr. Aldarie realizes this and is always super helpful and understanding! I have already had 2 root canals and a cavity filled and I have a ways to go but I’m not worried at all cause I know i will be taken care of and you don’t even feel the numbing shot!

Went here for the first time because I had a hole in my tooth and absolutely could not stand my previous dentist (Dr. Katnik-​Clairemont). First of all, the staff is so nice, they confirmed my appointment twice, which is great for my forgetful self. All the girls there were extremely personable, helpful and informative. The lobby is immaculate, with beautiful furniture and plenty or reading/​watching material. Dr. Aldairi was my dentist and he was perfect. He explained to me everything that was going to take place and told me the costs of everything before we even got started. I have pretty good insurance so all I had to pay was my deductible, but they have a system where they will take 40% off basic procedures and 30% off major ones, after your insurance has gone through. I had to get 2 root canals :(but it was quick and literally painless. He noticed that a crown I had was down to the porcelain, and told me that I needed to talk to my old dentist and demand my money back. If they don’t comply, he said he will speak with them personally. He was kind, thorough, polite and made great conversation. I’m so glad I went here, and will definitely make this my regular dentist!
