Jeff Muehl, DDS

Hands down one of the best dentists. Despite my fears, it’s always a good experience. Dr. Muehl and Elise especially go above and beyond… My favorites!

Dr. Muehl and his office staff are terrific. Excellent care and chairside manner. (That’s right, I just made a word up.) Two thumbs up! Highly recommend.

At my age, I cannot begin to count the number of Dentist I have had throughout my life.
I have had some outstanding Dentist and some who were not so good.
Dr, Muehl is bar none, one of the best I have ever had and his office is simply exceptional.
It begins with Elise who really runs the office. She is always pleasant and wonderful to speak to and she knows insurance companies and coverage better than anyone I have ever met. What is most important to me is that when she gives you her word that something will be done, she keeps her word and it is done typically before the date or time she promised.
Then there is the office itself. It is spotless. It is clean and you feel comfortable having work done on you in their dental environment.
Finally, there is Dr. Muehl. He is an extremely knowledgeable Dentist who invests money back into his practice. His dental equipment is new, modern and saves a tremendous amount of time. He takes the time to explain completely what is happening with your guns and teeth so you understand why and how your treatment will occur. Moreover, he has a gentle hand. Having work done with him is never nearly as painful as some other dentist I have had. Dr, Muehl is a perfectionist, which for my money, is the only type of Dentist I want working on my mouth.
Even with Insurance, dental care is a considerable annual investment. Dr. Muehl and his staff have given me the best return on my dental care.

Although I’m in Northern California now and can no longer see Dr. Muehl, I thought it was worth mentioning the rave I got today. My orthodontist pointed out what he thought was a crack in my tooth or crown and I let him know it was a partial crown. He was completely blown away by the work and said it was the best partial crown he had ever seen. He asked who did it because it was so well done. It is nearly impossible to tell the magic Dr. M pulled off. It was a true testament to his work and I wished he was still my dentist! I may be back for the big stuff. :)

Dr Muehl and his staff are great! Nice location, nice office, and friendly staff. I got there exactly @ our appointment time and was immediately taken back to begin the appointment.
Another dentist told us that my 14 year old daughter needed a root canal. Seemed a bit much so we sought a second opinion… some sensitive toothpaste and mouthwash solved the problem in just a few weeks!!!
Had lots of work done on myself and they are very aware that they are «working» on a human that feels pain and take care not to inflict more than what inherently comes with dentistry.
Dr Muehl is a mastee of his craft and his whole staff are great to work with!!!

Visited this dental office today for first time. As I’m fortunate to not have any real dental health problems, it’s mostly just about a good deep cleaning for me. And they did a great job (Rosalita I believe was her name). They worked with my challenging schedule to get me in, and then the work was good, nice clean hi-​tech office, friendly people. AS good as a visit to the dentist can be.

Dr. Muesli is a great dentist. I highly recommend him. He was very thorough on my first visit and explained everything to me very well. I returned for a procedure and he continued on that visit to be very patient and helpful and answer all of my questions. I am comfortable with him and the procedure went very well. Today, I had a dental emergency pop up (loose crown on a different tooth). I called the office and they were able to squeeze me in between patients. They brought me right in, the doctor saw me quickly. It took about 15 minutes for him to get the crown popped off, cleaned up, and glued back on. This is a tooth that he had not previously worked on. I know the crown on this tooth won’t last forever, but at least this dentist didn’t insist I get a brand new one today and spend $ 3K. He actually didn’t even suggest that… It was a cheap and easy morning for me!!!

My wife, son, daughter have been going to Dr Jeff Muehl for 10+ years. I happened to be with another dentist who I liked. So there was no reason for me to change (even though my family raved how great Dr. Muehl was).
4+ years ago I decided to switch. And glad I did.
Dr. Muehl is an exceptional dentist. He is a perfectionist taking the time always with me doing what is necessary. Never have I felt that he rushes to the next patient. He cares about every step in his process to do a 100% job. I feel he is always making the right choice for my health when he is working. He cares about his patients health.
My work has included new crowns, root canal, many cleanings by his office over the past 4 years. His staff from the front office to his professional hygienist and his right hand registered dental assistants are top notch. I trust them and never have been disappointed with any of the work they have done.
His new office in Sorrento Valley with parking is also welcoming.
Thanks to my family for the rave reviews they gave Dr Muehl. I made the switch!

Is knowledgeable but difficult to reach, I went in for a visit and did not hear back for weeks and had to reach out to contact his office. He will never contact you directly and is unwilling to work with patients. If you don’t need much work done, or have an excess of money he may be for you. For the rest of us non-1%ers, look else where.

I recently moved to San Diego and as an unemployed college grad it had been about 5 years since I had seen a dentist. I was terrified of finding a new dentist because I had heard stories from friends about their experiences with new dentists. One friend, who always maintained her dental checkups, had her new dentist tell her she had sixteen cavities!
So when I saw a Groupon for an exam, cleaning, and x-​rays with Dr. Muehl, I read his reviews here on Unilocal and went for it. I’m so glad I did! I had a great experience with every person I encountered, from the receptionist, to the doctor himself.
The hygienist who cleaned my teeth was very friendly and helped relieve my anxiety about the condition of my teeth and gums after 5 years of no dental insurance. The assistant Robin was also super-​friendly and we chatted amiably while she positioned the state of the art X-​ray equipment.
Dr. Muehl was so awesome! He showed me my X-​rays and explained that I did need a couple fillings due to an old filling that had fallen out which allowed decay to start back in to that tooth and the one next to it. He was also very understanding about my unemployment/​uninsured situation. He let me know that the sooner I had the fillings done the better, but he didn’t pressure me to make another appointment. He pointed out a few other issues that needed to be addressed, but said that they could probably wait until I had dental insurance to tackle them. After my appointment his receptionist provided me with a price for the two fillings, so that I knew exactly what to expect if I decided to go ahead and pay to have them filled.
Overall my experience with Dr. Muehl and his staff was incredible! I really can’t believe that I found such a wonderful dentist through Groupon!

Mouth Spa! Teeth Spa! Dental Spa! However you want to put it, this is the place!
When you walk in the office you dont have that nasty dental smell. I think this is a big perk in keeping with the «SPA» theme (thats what I have deemed his practice to be). The walls arent stark white, pink or peach. They have a natural look and feel plus you feel relaxed like you would a spa. Water fall, fruit and a pitcher of water on a display by the door… You ahve to see this place!
I have LOADS of anxiety when going to the dentist. I literally woudnt go unless there was a problem. After searching San Diego over the past 15 years, and seeing more than 22 dentists (yes thats right) I have found the MASTER of all Dentists! Dr. Muehl and his staff walk you through the process so that there isnt any anxiety.
Funny thing, I was referred to him by several co-​workers and a maxillofacial dentist who said he is a master at dentistry! Well, Dr. Muehl isnt the only «Master» his staff is as well! Friendly, soft spoken, warm, knowledgeable… I cant say enough about his practice.
I have been going to Dr. Muehl for a few years now, and I think that says alot to those who are also scared or have anxiety with going to the dentist. I wish I could shout it to the world at how fabulous this practice is!

As always, Jeff and his staff are professional, courteous and use all state of the art equipment and procedures to provide the exceptional dental care.

So excited to see a patient dentist still exists. He explains everything and helped me with my anxiety by walking me thru everything slowly. His staff was just as friendly and helpful. Clean office and very thorough on my exam! Fully recommend! The girl with the negative post was probably a moron because everything she said was wrong! They didn’t upsell me at all. If anything Dr. Muehl told me I didn’t need work done that another dentist told me I needed. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO MY FAMILY! Awesome dentist!!!

Dr. Muehl and his entire staff are tops! Dr. Muehl has fantastic bedsid manners and really takes the time to tell you what you are going through. Moreover, he is gentle and makes the experience feel more comfortable because he’s concerned that you are not hurting.
His staff is warm and pleasent which makes you want to engage with them. I just cant say enough about how nice they are. It really makes the experience so much better when you know that you have developed a more personal relationship with the entire office. Including Dr. Muehl.
I would recommend Dr. Muehl to everybody, no doubt you will be happy.

Dr. Jeff Muehl and his staff are amazing! I have been a patient of Dr. Jeff Muehl for quite a few years and all I can say is he has the best bed side manner of any dentist I have ever had. Patiently talks you through what his process will be and will put you at ease every time. I dont like dentists and Dr. Jeff Muehl has changed that for me. My kids love him too! That was key in choosing a dentist was my kids experience with Dr. Muehl. No kicking and crying going to the dentist in this family (including myself). :)
Thanks Dr. Jeff Muehl.

At my age, I’ve had experience with quite a few dentists but Jeff is the best. He is extremely competent and caring as is the whole staff. Jennifer has moved away, she was also the best but Mary is also very good (too soon to say ‘the best’), and Ness is wonderful. They are in their new office now — 11 199 Sorrento Valley Rd. (right near the Coaster station and J&W Lumber) which is nicer than the old office and has easier access.
As an example of his skill, Jeff numbed my mouth for a crown before I even realized he’d injected me — never felt the needle at all. I had a filling right at my gumline last month with no novacaine at all. He’s that good.

Dr. Muehl was highly recommended by a co-​worker. I never liked going to the dentist, but Dr. Muehl and his staff have changed a phobia [of visiting the dentist] into a pleasant routine.
The staff are very friendly, lovely and approachable. I like to know the why and how of procedures and prices so, if they don’t have an answer right away, they’ll do the research and call me at a later time.
Thanks Dr. Muehl, Ness, and Jennifer!

It’s unfortunate that a patient had a bad experience with Dr. Muehl’s office because of a one-​time temporary employee. I myself am a hygienist, along with my mother, and Dr. Muehl is, hands down, the BEST dentist I have ever been treated by. Growing up, I saw many dentists as my mother has been in the dental field for over 20 years, but once we found Dr. Muehl, we stopped going to anyone else. He is extremely gentle, and a complete perfectionist and I’ve never had any problems with any work that he has done. He goes above and beyond what is expected and I would trust my nearest and dearest in his hands. He is brilliant, highly ethical, and just an all-​around good man. I can’t say enough great things about him! His assistant Nes is also a delight.
Jennifer, his regular hygienist, has been with him for a long time and was my hygienist before my mom started cleaning my teeth. She is highly skilled and fantastic at what she does. I refer all of my friends whose insurance my office doesn’t accept to Jennifer because I know she will take great care of them.

Dr. Muehl is the best in the business! He just seems to know exactly what needs to be done in order to get the best final product. He has done some very extensive dental cosmetic work for me in the past. I had a bike accident that rendered my two front teeth chipped to the gum line. Somehow Doc Muehl was able to fit veneers on there and for ten years I have been pain free and the results are perfect and I mean PERFECT. My wife still does not know which of my teeth are veneers and I even forget sometimes myself. Now that is quality work that is worth any price! Also the office is AAA and the staff is over top — Jennifer (dental hygienist) and Nes (cosmetic assistant) are so sweet and they really make you feel so welcome! You get what you pay for in every business and Cosmetic dentistry is no exception. Save yourself the trouble and see the good Doctor!
On the Dental Hygienist front:
Jennifer is the greatest. She takes the time really do a great job. Also she has the experience to spot trouble areas and bring it to Dr. Mueh’s attn before there is a more serious problem.

I went to Dr. Muehl once about six months ago, on a recommendation from a coworker. I was not impressed to say the least. He was very friendly and professional, but you don’t actually spend much time with the dentist for a routine cleaning. His staff seemed like they had just started that week. I had to get x-​rays done (even though I explained I could get copies from my previous dentist) and the hygienist had to keep doing them over, because she didn’t get the picture properly taken. This was very frustrating as it took at least twice as long as it should have and was very uncomfortable. She finally told me it was the first time she had ever used the new machine. The hygienist who did my cleaning was equally as bad. I found out she was filling in for someone on maternity leave.
I was also turned off by the up-​selling environment. I was told I should come in every four months instead of every six, since I hadn’t been flossing regularly (even though my insurance would only cover 2x/​year). Then, I was pressured to go ahead and book my next appointment (which I refused) and book an appointment to get a cosmetic repair made to a tooth (which after seeing the price quote, I also refused).
So, all in all a pretty frustrating experience. But I finally made it out of there with clean teeth, right? However, a couple of weeks later I received an overbill for the expenses my insurance didn’t cover (although there was no mention of this when I was there). I was rather surprised since they accepted my insurance for the services I had. This was just icing on the cake for a poor experience.
It is about time to have another check-​up, but I’ll be looking for another dentist…
