We've been coming here since our first dentist visit (my son is 7 now). We moved about two years ago, but we still make the 30 minute drive to come here.

  We are new to San Diego from the East Coast and my 2 & 4 year old had their first visits with Dr. J and staff today and I was extremely impressed from the moment I stepped in to the office and was quickly greeted to the moment we checked out. We were promptly checked in and within just a minute or so Marissa came out cheerfully, called us back and started explaining the practice and its methods to me while the kids got to play and aclimate to the new area and staff. Dr. J then sat with me and explained in great depth not only why dental exams are important but the science behind dental issues and how to best combat them starting at an earlier age - I sincerely wish I would have had this conversation when my children were still infants and think it's one that so many more need to be educated on and am impressed he takes the time to do so! Marissa was amazing with both of my children (my son has sesnory issues and she handled him extremely well and he said he made a friend today!) and made their visit a super pleasant experience! All around from start to finish, amazing practice Dr. J has going - great and well trained staff, clean and very well organized facilities and practices, a dentist who is truly passionate about his job and others, and overall a definite, easy 5/5 stars from a girl who doesn't give them easily!

  Scripps Pediatric Dentistry is the perfect place to introduce the kiddos to the dentist. There are plenty of things for the kids to do while they wait and the staff are so kind and accommodating. Thanks Dr. J and team for making the dentist trip fun for my kiddos.
