Stephen Tuttle, DDS

Dr. Tuttle is a wonderful dentist. The entire staff is extremely friendly and professional. Celeste in the front office is so warm and friendly. Melissa, my hygienist, is very friendly, helpful and accommodating.

Perhaps not the cheapest for a single bill, but I’ve found it to be very cost effective over the years. High-​end care, well trained, learning new things all the time. You will be hard pressed to find better.

These guys are fantastic! Every member of the staff is extremely friendly, professional, and accomodating. Plus, the office is clean, the hygenists and dentist are very knowledgable, and the dental work they do is always very thorough. The staff is super organized and always have you in and out in a reasonable amount of time. Dr. Tuttle’s office is definitely an ideal place to go for something that isn’t always so fun!

Excellent! Dr Tuttle returns calls after hours and has even gone in on weekend when my husband had an emergency. All people there are kind and very helpful. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

wonderful dentist and his staff – superb. i would drive from la to san diego to go to this dentist. you meet these people and you immediately feel the desire to invite them to thanksgiving dinner.

Our family has been with Dr. Tuttle for 20 years. He is an amazing dentist — and his staff is the finest around. They genuinely care about all of their patients — offer the latest in dental care. Without a doubt the finest dentist in San Diego!

I agree with everything the prior reviewers said except that they are PRICEY!
My wife and I have the same insurance but different dentists. She gets her cleanings and x-​rays covered at 100%. With me about 60% coverage. Great people but you pay for the experience.

Dr. Tuttle and staff are the best I’ve ever been to. I don’t mind driving 40 minutes each way (and I don’t really like to drive around San Diego – bad traffic and all) – they are so worth it! Celeste is so kind, Betsy always does an outstanding job examining and cleaning my teeth (and we always have a nice chat), and Dr. Tuttle is very personable. I highly recommend them.

It is so hard to find a new dentist. Luckily, I think I found one today that I can stick with!
I had a great experience. The office is warm and inviting. Everyone there is exceptionally helpful. I never once felt rushed, as if I were just another patient.
Betsy, my hygentist, was very thourough yet gentle. Dr. Tuttle was excellent as well. Very kind with no aire of arrogance. I had one cracked tooth (too many Jolly Ranchers, I guess) and as he was explaining this to me, he put this pen-​like device in my mouth and phoof! A picture of my tooth flashed onto the TV screen above! I really liked this, because it helped me to understand what he was talking about.
I never once felt pressured to buy anything I didn’t want to, or have any unneccessary procedures.
Overall, it was a great experience!

I had such a great appointment at the dentist today — how is that even possible?
I am so happy that I have finally found a dentist I can trust! (esp after my experience with the snake at Soft Touch Dental)
Everyone was so warm and helpful! Celeste at the front desk was just a pleasure, my xray technician and dental hygienist were comforting and very nice. The hygienist took extra time and gave me some great advice.
Dr. Tuttle was just the icing on the cake! They really have a great team over there! He was so approachable and kind. He answered all my questions and put any worries to rest. He could have EASILY tried to make a buck, like the other dentist did, by telling me I «need» to have this done or that done… but he said everything looked fine and I shouldn’t do any extra procedures when they are unnecessary (like swapping filings). The complete opposite of my last visit to the dentist!
*whew* Finding an honest dentist is like finding an honest mechanic, so I’m going to hold on to this one.
