San Marcos Pediatric Dentistry | Orthodontics

Dr Leung and his staff were fantastic. They did amazing with my 5 year old and made sure that he was comfortable with what was happening. SMPDO was also much more affordable and had an in house lender, should we have needed it. We will be back in the following weeks with the older kids and I look forward to working with them in the future.

We love the staff! Very friendly, the doctor is super helpful if you have any questions. I take both my kids here and they really like going to the dentist. My 7 year old in particular really enjoys her visits!

Today was my third visit to this office. • First visit: routine teeth cleaning for my twins • Second and third visits: dental surgery I experienced serious inconsistencies and concerning practices. When services were initially covered by the city’s insurance, the cost was quoted at $200 per child. Once welfare insurance was added to cover the remaining balance, the total pricing suddenly changed, which felt inconsistent and unclear. During surgery for my first twin, anesthesia was handled appropriately: a full team was present, prepared, and I was allowed to comfort my child until she fell asleep. The experience for my second twin was completely different. I was rushed out of the room, there was no team present or ready, and despite a 9:20 a.m. appointment, she was not seen until 10:56 a.m

The wait to see a doctor with two young children 3.5 and 1.5 was very long. The hygienist said to us when we got into the room that “sorry for the wait, there’s no communication with anyone happening today.” She was very good with kids but the cleaning machine didn’t work, had someone else come in to help fix that. Paid up front before showing me what the plan was for payment. I didn’t and up getting the X-rays so I’m certain I paid for that even though it didn’t happen. The Dr. was nice but took a long time for two littles and didn’t explain very thoroughly what my main question was with my youngest being about his lip tie. Made us another appt without asking when we were available or dates that work for us. We were very disappointed with this experience.

My son had his first dental appointment and the dental assistant was so nice and explained everything, he got his goodie bag and she even took a Polaroid picture of his first visit that does have a magnet. The doctor was also very nice and very informative. It was a nice experience.
