This is the best dental experience my husband and I have ever had! The staff lead by Dr Negrete is great! They are very competent and attentive to specific patient needs...they go the extra mile to make sure you receive good care.... Leslie is very helpful and Rosalie gives very thorough cleanings .... I highly recommend them

To whom it may concern, The question is what would I recommend about Gentle Dental?,....they care and their professionalism and the way they put you at ease is impotent to them,.... I like that. I like the way they explain the process and even go over your insurance with you to make sure you’re comfortable and understand everything. I found out about Gentle Dental in Sorrento Valley last year,.... I don’t think I’ll ever find a better dental facility. A big shoutout and thank you to Gentle Dental 👍! Terry Farron

Gentle Dental in Sorrento Valley is the best care I've ever received. The hygienist, Rosalie, gives me her best effort every time, she recommends care that I need, and the entire team does everything they can to understand and utilize my insurance benefits. My only gripe is that for the work they do, they deserve a much better and newer office/facility.

Dear Customer Care, Thank you for checking up on the customer service I continue to receive from your dental office via email, but as you folks follow up on email, I'm not sure how that translates a reward over to your employees, so I'm taking it upon myself to publicly reward them for others to view. I LOVE the team in Sorrento Valley! They are amazing, helpful, and friendly. My faves are Robert, Sochi, and Caesar. They make my experience worthwhile every time I walk into their office, and I'm there every month, sometimes twice a month. They make such a great team! I drive 20-30 minutes in the opposite direction from my home and work just to go to this particular office, because of them. If they weren't there, I would definitely find a closer Dentist/Ortho office. I hope they receive the recognition they deserve, because they work really hard at making an uncomfortable experience comfortable. They are patient with my questions, accommodating with my schedule, and personable and kind with every visit. I look forward to walking into their office and seeing their smiling faces. Thank you Robert, Sochi, and Caesar for taking such great care of me over the past 2 years. You deserve to be recognized for a job well done. Sincerely, Melissa (Dentistry & Ortho patient)

I am very pleased with my progress in two visits with Dr. Young. The hygienist did a great job on my polish, very gentle. Dr. Young is very friendly, caring and did a great job on peri care. Gave me wonderful feedback.

Dr Tu and the Hygienist are excellent. All the staff is very pleasant and knowledgeable.
Dec 16, 2013
Dr. Tu is a great dentist. She is honest with you and concerned about the health of your teeth and not inflating her pocketbook by recommending unnecessary procedures like a LOT of OTHER dentists.
Dec 7, 2013
My husband and I both see Dr Tu as our regular dentist. She is the best. We both love her and hope she's there as long as we need dental help. She is a wonderful dentist and has a very kind manner. Yesterday I went in for a cleaning with Dr Tu. My husband, Michael, recently had to see Dr Kaolos for gum surgery too. We both like Dr K as well. His assistant, Jose, was great in helping us in several ways. He made sure my husband was seated in a room with a window since Michael is claustrophobic. I also want to mention the others on staff. They are all friendly and caring, especially Jonathan. He's great.

Dr. Delgado and staff are so great - this was my 1st ever deep cleaning and it was super easy. Not painful at all, and only took about 30 minutes all together.
