I have been going to dentists for 70+ years and am happy to report that while the care I have received from MPDG over the past 13-years has ALWAYS been excellent, the treatment I received yesterday was The Best Ever:
*They have a new cleaning system for Plaque & Stain removal that is the most thorough and Gentle that I have ever experienced. My teeth are so clean I can hardly believe it-nothing like it ever in my experience. It removed all of my coffee stains on the surface as well as between the teeth and only needed very little manual scaling thereafter. And, part of the system uses an ultra-fine grain baking soda that polishes the teeth so that plaque future plaque buildup is diminished. In my humble opinion a huge advancement in dental technology and the most enjoyable experience you can have at the dentist. Of course the Skill of the hygienist is critical for superior results and Hygienist Tosia Chishty has those superior skills indeed.
I must also say that Everyone that has provided me with dental care (as well as of the Dentists and Dental Assistants, Administrative services, from scheduling appointments to billing) have all been professional, courteous, pleasant and a joy to work with.

Stephanie did an excellent and thorough job cleaning and examining my teeth. She spotted three new cavities which Dr. Falkel confirmed and we made a plan to address quickly. All very smooth, efficient and informative. It's a good and rare thing to leave the dentist's office pleased. I trust Dr. Falkel's skill and judgement totally.

Yesterday, I met with Dr. Glenn Takenaga yesterday. He's amazing, I simply LOVE him. First, the dental assistant, Lindsey is amazing so positive and engaging. She took several X-rays which are good for five years. Then I met with Dr. T who sat next to me and just talked to get to know me and we talked about Chicago since we both lived there at one time.
Later, he thoroughly examined my teeth and called out the count for each tooth to Lindsey. I haven't had that type of care since I first moved to CA.
Plus he corrected an issue that I had with my brand new crown. He's incredible!!
So, if you decide to see Dr. T, I know you'll be so happy.🤩

Dr Stoddard was very kind and helpful. He bonded a chip on my tooth that popped off just days before leaving on a trip to Hawaii! Very friendly office staff. I am impressed and deeply grateful.

This was my first visit to see Dr Ryan May. He is a wonderful Dentist. He thoroughly explained to me the results of the x-rays that his RDA, JEN, took. His advice was clear and understandable. I felt that he cared about me and my dental needs. JEN was professional and showed the same care for my comfort. I was impressed with the whole surround-head x-ray procedure. I was able to see Dr. May’s hygienist, PETRA Martinez, the very next day. PETRA is the best in her field. PETRA is personable, professional and pleasant. I received the best cleaning from her I had ever had. A dental visit that hit all the right spots. 5+ Stars easily. I look forward to my next cleaning in September.

After multiple bad experiences at my previous dentist, I came to see Dr. Bhaskar and immediately felt welcomed by her entire staff. Everyone was accommodating, polite, and genuinely friendly. Elise did my cleaning, she was professional and very personable. Dr. Bhaskar took the time during my exam to get to know me, which meant so much after what I’d experienced elsewhere. Five stars — I’m really looking forward to being in their care from now on.

I’ve never had a bad experience at this dental office. Even though my dental insurance isn’t excepted here, I chose to continue my care here. I’ve been under this offices care for over thirty years. Everyone from the receptionist to my dental team of Dr.May and my hygienist Kim are exceptional. They explain all procedures completely to my understanding and are always willing to listen to my input. The office personnel are extremely welcoming and willing to assist you in any way possible. For someone who is terrified of dentists, I always leave with a smile.Thank You

Dr. Ryan May was highly recommended by another doctor, because he could fix even difficult situations. I was stuck for years with a crown built by another dentist who called himself an expert but his crown accumulated food between my teeth. Dr. May removed the old one and built a new beautiful, well functional crown all within less than 2 hrs! I was so happy with this experience I replaced two other old crowns. I found a new dentist I truly trust. His office staff is friendly and going to my appointments is now a happy experience!

Having re-located from out of state, I was worried about finding a new dentist. A recommendation from my mother-in-law brought me to Dr. Stoddard. He's terrific. He's steady, thoroughly professional and great with patients -- probably got that way from his experience as an Army dentist.

Dr. Lehr is the best dentist technically and the kindest professional you will ever meet. His staff is caring and excellent in every way. I drive almost an hour to be at their office and it's well worth the drive. My dental health has never been better since becoming a patient in Dr. Lehr's practice. So happy with my restored bite. Very grateful!

Thank you for the opportunity to share my experience. As a new patient to your practice, you must say I didn't feel very welcomed. However, I felt my interaction with my assigned dentist was great. She was polite, knowledgeable, comforting,thorough and helpful.

The appointment itself was great. Dr. B was friendly, professional, and very informative. All the staff were careful to explain each procedure in detail.
The reason I didn’t give 5 stars was the ridiculous patient forms that I was forced to complete before my first appointment. These questions may now be standard procedure for any medical practice but I don’t think the extremely lengthy questionnaire helps anything but the data gatherers get paid.

Dr. May and his staff were top notch. I had completed a survey about my needs in the days prior to my appointment, and it was reviewed by them prior to my arrival. I discussed my wishes with Dr. May in a comfortable--not rushed--setting, and we set upon a plan!

It's so nice to be back in Carmel Valley after a five year absence and back to MPDG and the excellent care of Dr. Falkel. It is always a professional, caring experience.

I have tried several dentists over years , but, none would compare to team of Ryan Lehr's (D.D.S) office. I would highly recommend you trying them out, you will come away from your visit with a feeling of having found the "Right Team"!
