Carmel Mountain Dental Care

My expectations were blown away by my recent visit to CMDC to see Dr. Jonathan Lee and his team. As with the other reviewers, I was impressed with Dr. Lee’s gentle touch, technical skill, and great bedside manner. I had the most thorough first visit I’ve had in my life, with technology I didn’t even know existed (and my last dental check-​up was 6 months ago)! Mary, my hygienist, was as kind and caring as could be. Most importantly, I was relieved to find that Dr. Lee and his staff practice with transparency and integrity — I received a thorough explanation each step of the way, and all recommendations were made based on objective findings from the exam (they even reviewed all my xrays and photos with me!).
I came in again to have a cavity filled and a crown replaced (due to a cavity growing under it), and both procedures were essentially PAIN-​FREE! I was also shocked to find that I left that visit with my beautiful permanent crown in the SAME visit — every other crown I’ve had in other offices required a temporary (a nuisance if you’ve ever had one) and a second visit. For a working professional with a busy schedule, this was extremely convenient and I won’t go anywhere else in San Diego again. I highly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone in San Diego (he’s worth the drive) looking for a dentist they can trust!

I love Carmel Mountain Dental Care folks. They are always so friendly and welcoming and give me great service!

Dr. Jonathan Lee is truly the best! He cares about his patients and is very gentle with treatments. He’s hilarious too, which helps alleviate a lot of anxiety. His passion for helping his patients is really awesome.

Great people. Friendly Caring and Professional. Always a pleasure… Not very often you hear or write this about a Dentist Office. But it is TRUE. Everyone there is awesome. EVERYONE

Once again another excellent visit. Dr. Marissa and staff are top notch. Treated me with excellent service and care. They treat you like family, can’t say enough about this outfit. Can tell they are passionate and enjoy what they do.

A great place to go. I recently switch my family over to this practice b/​c it’s closer to our home. The office is clean, the staff is very personable, and like others have already noted, it’s a very high tech office — you can watch TV/​videos while you’re teeth are being worked on which is always a plus!

I have been traveling a lot for business this year and had to cancel my regular cleaning. Once I rescheduled Dr Lee and his staff were so kind and understanding. They said they’d work with me to get me back on schedule. I appreciate the dental reminders but also the fact that they know we all get busy. I highly recommend Dr Lee and his friendly, competent team!

Very friendly staffs and Dr Lee is super professional. My kids used to hate to see their formal dentist but with Carmel mountian dental care, their fear is all gone.

Love love love this place! Excellent staff, facility, and service! Would recommend to anyone looking for a new (and most definitely better) dentist. I definitely won’t be afraid when my 6 month cleaning comes back around!

My first time here & I am so glad I made the switch. It’s very hard to find a good dental facility for me since I am a DA grad. I tend to get picky but I found the perfect place. The staff is very welcoming & not to mention well groomed & the place is very clean, professional & decorated amazingly. Lauren did such an amazing job with my cleaning, X-​rays etc. and just with cleaning brought my teeth 2 – 3 shades whiter. She did an excellent job with patient teaching & helped me with extra info. that I will carry on throughout my daily teeth cleaning. Dr. Marissa was very nice & helped me to get on the right track. She’s very sweet & gets the job done. The receptionist today was fast, accurate & scheduled my future appointments perfectly; accommodating my heavy schedule! A plus side is they have a free life time whitening kit they offer to there patients that I will start on soon after my next appointment && I received a gift bag filled with goodies! They truly know how to take care of their clients! I highly recommend this place! You can’t find anything better; trust me I’ve tried. Thank you Carmel Mountain Dental care for the great experience & service. Looking forward to a lifetime of care with you guys!

I really like this dental office! The atmosphere is nice and there is soft music playing in the background. TVs are provided for entertainment during the procedures.
The hygienist was very nice and made me feel at ease. My cleaning was painless!
Dr. Lee was great. I’ve had 2 fillings done and they have seemed fine! I have some more work to be done… I’m glad I found a dentist that I trust to complete it!

I’ve been going here for many years now, even before Dr. Lee took over the practice. I was happy back then with my dentists and sad to see them leave, however Dr. Lee has proven to be a fantastic replacement. The office is clean and inviting, and the staff is very friendly (I receive a little handwritten birthday card from them every year; it’s super cute). Dr. Lee is very professional and knowledgable, and I always feel comfortable in both his care and the care of the rest of the staff. I used to live close to the practice but have since moved about 30 minutes away. You can tell that I really believe in this practice, because despite the distance, I still continue to bring my business here, as does my father who also lives pretty far away. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Lisa did a wonderful job of cleaning my teeth. Not only that, when she heard that I have sensitive teeth, she even found out that my insurance would cover the cost of fluoride application and she did that for me. I recommend her very highly to anyone.

As always, the staff are always very nice and welcoming. Thanks Jessica for being awesome as always when i come in and always makes me feel comfortable during the procedure the whole entire time. You rock Jessica. Come get your teeth clean at CARMEL MOUNTAIN DENTAL CARE. They will always take care of you no matter what your problem your having in your teeth. All of the staff rocks and Awesome. Triple thumbs up.

Dr. Lee and his staff are the best dental team I’ve ever had! They are very quick, efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly. I would usually dread going to the dentist; however, with Carmel Mt. Dental Care, I never feel that way anymore. I also love that they have TV’s at every seat so you can be distracted/​entertained while getting your teeth cleaned! Dr. Lee is also very quick w fillings — was in and out in less than 15 min!
Thank you Dr. Lee and team!

Dr. Lee and his team were awesome! The office was neat and clean and the whole staff were very professional and efficient. I was very happy with my whole appointment from start to finish! Dr. Lee has a range of high tech equipment that myself being from the dental field has not even seen yet! The hygentist that cleaned my teeth was super fun and energetic and it was a pleasure to have her. Thank you so much Dr. Lee and team for making me feel comfortable with the transition of switching Dental offices because of my recent military move! Can’t wait to see the team again soon!

The office is nice with zen music and clean open and airy feel to it. The Front desk girl was super nice BUT that’s where the Bucks stops. The parking was AWFUL!
Finding the office wasn’t easy either.
Upon meeting Dr Lee I was shocked that he wasn’t very nice and didn’t have that nice warm friendliness to him like I read from other Unilocalers. He was dry, semi rude, I felt rushed and like a bother. The dentist chair was also not comfortable.
I’m assuming most reviews are from friends because there is no way this many Unilocalers found good in this establishment.
His assistant while she started off nice she ended with a extremely rude and crude comment taking something my husband said way out of context and making it into something sexual regarding my private parts. Umm wtf?
He literally told her to get her mind out of the gutter. And I’m glad I was in pain because I would have flipped shit right there in the office.
Not only was I totally embarrassed but I wanted to run out.
I was in extreme pain and then being treated like that was unreal .
This place was awful I urge you to not waste your time at this place.

I’ve been going here for about 4 years now and I’ve gotten my teeth whitened, had Invisalign, and my bi-​yearly check ups as well as gotten a little filling. Dr. Lee is amazing as well as his staff.
Maybe it’s because I’m a stay at home mom, but I love going to my appointments. It’s so relaxing. They have TVs in every room and tons of magazines. The office is really nice and their equipment seems state of the art. Also I get email and text updates for my appointments and those are nice because I’m forgetful and my life seems so chaotic with toddler.
I highly recommend coming here if you haven’t established a dentist yet or if you’re not completely satisfied with the place your going to now. You won’t be disappointed.

I haven’t seen the dentist yet but this place is so amazing that i felt compelled to write a review. Will report back!

Being a dental tech in the military, I had the advantage of choosing which provider and hygienist I wanted to clean my teeth more than once every 6 months. After separating from the military, I had to choose a dental provider that I was not familiar with. I turned to Unilocal to help me out with choosing a dental provider and long behold, I chose this dental office. I called and Katie was so kind and got me an appointment for a cleaning and exam the next day! When I arrived for my appointment, Katie gave me a little tour of the dental office and had my awesome hygienist Jessica meet us in the X-​ray room. Jessica was very professional and nice when taking my X-​rays. In the past, X-​rays where something I did not look forward to because they were very uncomfortable to bite down on. Not with Jessica, she was gentle and made sure she accommodated the X-​ray sensors to my bite. The cleaning was just as amazing, she made sure she didn’t come in contact with my sensitive areas. It was the most comfortable cleaning I’ve ever had! After my cleaning, Dr. Lee introduced himself and explained what he saw in my X-​rays and the maintenance for my teeth. He was very thorough and professional regarding my treatment.
After coming here for my dental needs, I recommend this dental office to anyone looking for a dentist. From Katie, to Jessica, to Dr. Lee, they really represented what I was looking for in a dental office. Nice, gentle and professional!
