San Diego Dental Studio

Thank you Dr. Quan for making me look like a movie star. I love my new teeth and can’t stop smiling. In addition, the technology of texting for comfirmations and scheduling is great!

I have been a patient of Dr. Summerhays for longer than I care to admit. Since the beginning, Dr Summerhays has been a consummate professional who focuses on providing exceptional dentistry. She is a perfectionist and always made decisions in my best interest. Dr. Summerhays keeps up with modern technolog, cleanliness and sanitzation practices. She has since moved on to something at another level in her field of dentistry and I am unable to replace her. Dr Summerhays, I have so much admiration and respect for you. You are irreplaceable! I’m not thrilled about your longtime assistant. She was so messy and sprayed water on me often. I think it was intentional. I always wondered how you kept her on, being the perfectionist that you are. Oh well, you are still the best. I love you my dear Dr Summerhays and I wish you the best!

Timely, efficient, friendly, and talented professionals and staff. Dr. Ma is a whiz who will take care of you quickly and painlessly. Plus, they offer appointments at hours, and on days, other dentists do not.

I love these guys.
I was going to a really fantastic dentist before I moved to a different part of town. I was super nervous, I haven’t needed much work in the past, so I didn’t know what to expect, but I assumed it would feel horrible… but it didn’t. They were so great and so sensitive to my nervousness and my pain. The staff is very sweet, the office is pretty swanky, and Dr. Bierman is a great Dr.
I feel very comfortable and I am thankful for their work.

I’ve never written a review nor ever had the desire to – until now – because I absolutely loathe writing; however, I’m exceedingly compelled to persuade any prospective client to give this marvelous dental office an opportunity to demonstrate that it provides SUPERB customer service and skilled dental practitioners. Their compassionate philosophy is immediately evident upon meeting the staff and receiving their exceptional dental services: «We treat patients exactly the way we want to treat ourselves.» They will treat you with respect and are substantially caring such that they will make you feel as if they are family or close friends; they are very passionate about their profession and will gladly, and patiently, answer any of your questions because they are so knowledgable and kind. The remarkable and ideal level of quality of this dental office is, truly, how every dental office should be operated.
I’m overwhelmingly grateful for everything you guys have done for me so far, thank you so much. Keep up the amazing work, you guys rock!

Not only do I look for dentist who are good at what they do and up to date with technology (which they are) but also look for those dentists that give back! I work with homeless youth in San Diego with the organization Urban Street Angels and the resources and timely manner where people can get work is very limited.
Dr Beirman heard of one of our guys teeth issues and got him in the very next morning and took care of him! No hesitation and totally took care of his teeth! Without hesitation do i recommend San Diego Dental Clinic-​you have won me over!

Without a doubt the BEST dental office I have been to in my 32 years. When I arrived for my visit, they already knew who I was when I walked in. Each person Shook my hand and made an introduction. They were ready for me to head right in and get started. The paperwork was completed in advance making for a seamless transition into their system. Dr. Bierman and all of his staff are professional and incredibly thorough. When I walked in They brought me back, took X-​Rays, some mug shots, or should I say, shots of my mug for records and then prepped me for repairs. I had a chipped tooth in the front row of my top set of teeth. Dr. Bierman had it repaired in not time and it was painless. After that I received a full cleaning from Brianna. It was great having my mouth all up to date. I recommend this office of dental professionals to anyone who is looking for the best services!

I needed an emergency root canal a year ago and decided to pick this office because of their Unilocal reviews. It was the best dental choice I could have ever made. Being it was my first root canal and all the stories I hear from it being painful, I really dreaded having to deal with it. But Dr. Ma was very good with making sure I felt no pain, you can tell he cares about the patients. Nice and easy. I’ve had routine cleanups from other dentists be 10 times more painful than my root canal done by Dr. Ma.

Finally I have found a dental office I can trust!!! You can expect top notch customer service and quality dental work! Dr. Ma is my dentist. He is very thorough and knows what he is doing. He always takes the time to make sure I fully understand what is going on with my teeth and am comfortable with the procedures, which I really appreciate.
Each and every person working at the office is courteous and always so helpful. Also, the office is well maintained and clean. Dr. Ma and his office sincerely care about the quality service they provide, which makes the trip to the dentist a pleasant and positive experience. Dr. Bierman is the other dentist at this office and I’ve heard he’s a great dentist as well!

I recently came here to get an emergency filling placed as my regular dentist was unable to schedule an appointment within a timely matter. I have been faithful and happy with my dentist for over 10 years.
Let me just say that I was absolutely blown away with how professional and fun this entire office is. I only choose it because the Unilocal were great and I live in Sorrento Valley. I had been a bit worried as my regular dentist has a sole practice and he is very near retirement. I no longer need to worry about that because my whole family will begin seeing Dr. Ma and his staff fairly soon for all our dental needs. I just need to figure out how to do this politely so as not to offend my old DDS whom I have always really respected and been very satisfied with.
Thanks again to everyone who assisted me – You guys are all top notch.

Dr Ma is awesome! i’m a new patient and they took care of my problem right away. i would recommend this place!

Signed up for a new patient appointment, and they said unfortunately the slot I had booked was unavailable. They then moved me to an even earlier more convenient appointment. I submitted all of my new patient paperwork online and Carla went through my insurance information before I arrived. She found out that my plan didn’t accept them as a provider (too bad for me) but they could give me a discounted first appointment if necessary. I had to decline, but am very thankful for the kind help Carla provided and all of the mess and hassle that was avoided.
Thanks Carla!

These guys are great. I came in looking for a second opinion on a tooth extraction, and they quoted me 30% less than the previous dentist. On top of that, that quote also included two fillings. I didn’t even tell them I was there for a second opinion, either.
To my surprise, they were able to do the extraction/​fillings right then and there. Dr. Ma and the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and precise. They made sure I was comfortable and without pain.

The San Diego Dental Studio is top notch! I came in for a check-​up and cleaning recently. Dr Ma, Brianna and all the staff were gracious and professional. The office is very clean and state-​of-​the-​art. I will definitely return for another visit.

I love the staff and care that I receive at San Diego Dental Studio! I hadn’t been to the dentist for a long time and needed extensive work done by the time Dr. Bierman saw me. Dr. Bierman is a fantastic dentist– he was honest about what needed to be done, fair in pricing, and took extra care when numbing me up prior to my procedure as well as during my treatments. All of my questions and concerns were immediately addressed. I feel like I have had exceptional, personalized, and comprehensive care by Dr. Bierman and his staff.
The office is easy to get to, very comfortable, and the staff is warm from the moment you walk in the door. I won’t see any other dentist after my experience here!

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Ma and the staff at San Diego Dental Studio. They are kind, personable, very knowledgeable, and thorough. Dr. Ma goes above and beyond for his patients. I am currently in the process of having a veneer replaced on my lateral incisor. Dr. Ma made a very natural looking temporary tooth for me to wear while my new veneer is being made in a lab, and emailed me a few days after he put it on to make sure it was holding up okay. I was so impressed! I have never received such personal care from a doctor or dentist before. I had no idea at the time how happy I’d really be to be in touch with him via email.
I must have gotten a little too comfortable with my temporary tooth because yesterday, while I was eating, it fell out! Fortunately my hygienist had given me a pack of cement to use if such a situation were to arise, so I was able to replace it myself. I emailed Dr. Ma and Carla (the office manager) right away to see if they thought the cement would hold me until my next appointment. Being a Saturday, I really didn’t expect a response until Monday morning, but they both got back to me in less than 15 minutes. Dr. Ma wrote that he would fit me in on Monday to make sure it was properly attached. Relieved, I went about my day.
As it turned out, I did not do the best job of re-​attaching the temporary tooth, and it fell out again while I was out with my husband last night. Having used up my emergency cement, I was without means to rectify the situation. I was horrified! What is left of my natural tooth is this teeny tiny little stub and it is right in the front of my mouth! Not okay! I emailed Dr. Ma immediately (9PM on Saturday night) and again, he got back to me right away and offered to come in today (on Sunday!) to fix me up with a new temporary. I’m all set now, and will no longer frighten small children with my smile.
I’m really looking forward to getting my new permanent veneer, but in the meantime, I am beyond grateful to know that Dr. Ma is going to be taking great care of me.

To show you how good Dr. Bierman and his staff have been, I can tell you that we travel all the way from El Cajon to have our teeth cleaned and worked on, rather than going to a dentist who is closer. From my 7-​year-​old, to my husband… the three of us could not find better care!
As a medical professional myself, I know how important it is to also have good communication with the front desk staff. Carla always greets us with a smile and has been WONDERFUL in keeping track of our insurance and knowing what it pays for, and what is not covered. Knowing that Carla is keeping track of what can be an insurance nightmare, is reassuring. The reminder system is also great — you get a phone message where you can text back that you got the reminder and /​or an e-​mail where you can do the same.
The dental hygienists are also very knowledgable and gentle. They educate their patients and offer many options for care (i.e. screenings for oral cancer, the proper way to floss, and fluoride rinses (but they also do not push any product if it is something you do not want. As an example, I do not opt for the fluoride rinse and they still treat me nice when I leave and no one calls me crazy — haha). You also don’t leave without a few free products that you can use (i.e. — floss, toothbrush, educational material, etc).
They also provide you with t.v.‘s to watch with a headset while your teeth are being worked on if you so choose, as well as cozy blankets to cover you in case you get cold (which I have used many times and secretly wanted to take with me). :)
Dr. Bierman is truly a gem, very professional and knowledgable, and also just a super nice guy! It’s important to feel safe and to trust your dentist and Dr. Bierman always puts me at ease. For a person who does not like needles, I have to say that Dr. Bierman did a fine job numbing me before doing a crown, with the help and assistance of Stacey, and all without me trying to run for the door. I give San Diego Dental Studio a BIG thumbs up!

I’ve been very impressed with Dr. Ma and the staff at San Diego Dental Studio. Having had an extensive amount of oral work done in the past, I needed a dentist with a conservative approach to dental care.
Everyone is very professional and knowledgeable, but personable at the same time. They go above and beyond to accommodate their patients before, during and even after procedures.
I’ve been very happy with my care so far, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this practice to anyone.

Love San Diego Dental Studio! Let’s face it — a trip to the dentist has never been one of my favorite things in the world, but these guys do it right! Everything is great about this office, from start to finish.
The lobby is very comfortable and well decorated. The front desk office coordinator, Carla, does an excellent job of making you feel like family when you walk through the front door and she is also very informative, patient and knowledgable when it comes to talking about the «fun stuff» — bills, insurance, etc.
I have an incredibly sensitive mouth, so when it comes time for even a simple cleaning, I get pretty nervous. The hygienists as well as the dental assistants are always so gentle and very sweet about calming my nerves.
Dr. Bierman is awesome! (I’ve heard Dr. Ma is fantastic too, but I’ve personally only seen Dr. B). Super friendly, really honest about what’s going on and is also great about making me feel really comfortable. These guys also have all of the state of the art technology which is definitely a plus.
Wouldn’t go anywhere else! It’s always been tough to find a dentist that makes me feel comfortable and I definitely feel like I’ve found that place.
Thank you to the entire team!

I started coming here because one of the dental hygienists, Dina. She is literally the best I have ever had. Ask to have your teeth cleaned by her. She’s wonderful.
I started to see Dr. Bierman once I switched to this particular office (as I had been following Dina for years). I have to say I am really impressed with him! He’s super honest and nice, which is huge for me since I absolutely hate going to the dentist. Let’s be honest, no one likes it. Anyway, I had a crown done and ordered a night guard and he made the process much much easier than I imagined.
I don’t have insurance, I never have. However, his front desk staff is really nice about it and they accept credit cards for huge purchases so it all worked out in the end. I have no idea if they are considered «expensive» compared to other cash rates… But if they are suck it up and come anyway. It is worth it!
