Reviews for Dental Exam Procedures in Del Mar, CA

Going to a new dentist can be anxiety producing but my experience at Dr Barry’s office was superb.  I don’t have dental insurance.  I shared what my annual costs had been at my prior dentist’s office that had closed.  They have an annual package that can be purchased which includes the usual x-rays, exam, two cleanings plus plus.    the cost was within 20.00 of prior care.  I found everyone to be very professional. Dr Barry did a thorough review of my history and current dental health status.  He didn’t try selling me extras nor give me a 2 page list of dental care needs as I’d been given by several HMO docs in past.  Thank you also to Vanessa, Karen, Debbie and Kristyn for coordinating my care.  I’ll be certain to share on our local Nextdoor where I first learned of your practice.

I had not been to a dentist in quite a few years. I was very impressed with all of the undated dental equipment in Dr. McDonald's office. The new equipment made getting x-rays a lot easier than I have ever had in the past. I received a very thorough examination. It was a very low key experience. Dr. McDonald identified some work that needed to be performed. He showed me the results of the x-rays and explained the work that needed to be performed in terms I could understand. He stated that, considering how long I had been away from a dentists office, I was in pretty good shape. He recommended certain things that needed to be done sooner than later, and other things that he would monitor for potential future procedures. I know that some dentists just try to "drill, fill, and bill", so this was very comforting. Dr. McDonald's staff was also very knowledgeable and provided me up front pricing for all of the recommended work. More

Gone here for years and have had great pain free dental treatment. More

Excellent professional dental treatment! My dentist of many years was retiring and I needed to find a new dentist. It was not easy. I tried several in my area before discovering Dr. Barry.Dr Barry and his staff provide a perfect experience from start to finish. His hygienists also provide excellent cleanings. They don't waste time, provide detailed information about status, explain necessary treatment, and provide painless, expert service. My cleanings, bondings, and a crown - all perfect! More
