La Jolla Family Dentistry

I had my first appointment here today for a cleaning and they went above my expectations! The front office staff was very friendly and the receptionist even remembered me from speaking on the phone. My hygienist anthony was very friendly; the teeth cleaning hurt a little, but that is pretty much to be expected. The dentist introduced himself and did a thorough check of my teeth; he found a cavity so they made time for me to fill it then and there and they even told me the out of pocket cost immediately so I didn’t have to worry. They also gave me a gift bag after my first visit which had tons of goodies (toothbrushes, floss, toothpaste, and even teeth whitening trays)! I am definitely going back here – they treat me way better and are definitely way more professional than my previous dentist (Bird rock dental) kudos team and I will see you soon!

I have just completed a lengthy dental procedure that required many scheduled appointments over a period of 9 months… During that time… I had multiple after hours emergencies… Dr. Jana made me feel comfortable and she is superb in her skills. She is attentive and always discussed procedures and I am very happy with this experience… she works very hard to maintain a 5 star office staff too…
Thanks to everyone in this office!

The best dentist I have ever had in my life. During finals week in college, I had a very sharp pain in my tooth at 5pm (they close at 5). Dr. Jana took my emergency call and saw me at 7pm that same evening (this was my first time here). My tooth was infected to the nerve and I was certain I needed a root canal. Dr. Jana worked her magic and saved me from a root canal! I was shocked and extremely happy. I have been going to this dentist since that incident and have always had a wonderful experience.

I was referred here for a possible root canal — I go to O2 Dentistry and believe these are now owned by the same people. I didn’t really think I needed one due to lack of pain, but the xray showed I might. On they way, I will admit I was a bit skeptical thinking of going into a La Jolla office and that they might just push to do it for the $$. The endodontist this place uses just does root canals and works in different offices. I was very pleasantly surprised with how capable, informative an helpful this guy is — can’t remember his name. He concluded I did not need the root canal, so I was relieved and impressed with his honesty. He did not rush through at all and answered several questions I had for the next 10 or so minutes. He didn’t try to rush me out at all and was very helpful. If I do need a root canal, I would insist on having this guy do it — need to get his name.

Worst dentist I have ever been to! Now, I know why people hate going to the dentist. Went in for my initial appointment (the staff was very friendly– front desk and tech). The dentist recommended doing two fillings. Of course, I said let’s just get it done. First of all the female dentist had the worst bedside manners I have ever encountered. Didn’t explain a thing that she was doing to me and just started jabbing me with needles with zero communication. I would have said something, but my mouth was propped open. My fillings were so rough and not flush with my teeth at all. Since this, I have not been able to chew on the left side of my mouth without shooting pains going up into my jaw. I have had to see two separate dentists to get their opinions on what happened. Now, I have to get the filling drilled out and replaced. Not only has this cost me a ton of extra money, but more importantly, time as well. The office manager called me to follow up, and I am appalled at how rude he was. He had an aggressive tone, talked over me, belittled the situation and told me I was making ridiculous comparisons. Do yourself a favor and stay as far away from this practice as possible. There is a reason there is never any patients in there, and they have so many openings. It’s just their soulless, rude staff sitting in there with nothing to do other than being disrespectful. Don’t let the modern décor fool you. I’d rather go somewhere who respects me as a person and my time and money.

I recently moved to CA and needed a new dentist. I am so happy I found this place. I love the staff, especially Brandon. He is my all time favorite. I had a lot of concerns after my X-​rays, some cavities had been overlooked by my past dentist. Brandon was so patient in answering my insurance questions and financial concerns. (I called him 3 times) Dr Jana was so kind. I am very nervous and anxious about needles. As she tried to fill a cavity she approached me with the needle and I couldn’t stay still. It was clear this was not going to work. She quickly changes strategies, gave me some gas to relax me and made me much more comfortable to the procedure. She was also patient with me as my anxiety level rose and talked me through what she was doing. I was worried she would get frustrated with me being almost 28 and crying about a filling but she stayed positive and kind. I will be a patient of theirs forever.
PS Their location is so cute! The décor is clean, chic and comfortable.

I cannot say enough good things about everyone at La Jolla Family Dentistry, particularly Brandon at the front desk and Dr. Jana.
My 3 year old daughter needed some major work done, which naturally I had a lot of anxiety about. Brandon was so patient with me and answered all of my questions over the course of many phone calls regarding insurance coverage, out of pocket costs, etc.
Dr. Jana was very thorough and did an excellent job of explaining everything that needed to be done. The day of surgery went very smoothly and as expected. Dr. Jana’s method of anesthesiology allowed my daughter to have a non-​traumatic experience which was a huge priority for me.
I liked this office so much that I will be returning to them for my own dental care, as well as my daughters.
Thank you so much to everyone at La Jolla Family Dentistry for a pleasant, peaceful experience.

I’ve finally found a dentist’s office that I’m happy to make another appointment at! La Jolla Family Dentistry is unlike any other dentist’s office I’ve ever been to. The state of the art office and amazing staff combine to create a welcoming and comfortable experience. Thanks Dr. Jana Osmolinski, Anthony, Manny and Tess!

La Jolla Family Dentistry was a referral from a dear friend who had extensive dental problems due to chemotherapy. Her excitement over the excellence of care and restoration along with a beautiful smile encouraged me to change to a new dentist. I have had much work done now also at Dr’s Jana & Eric Osmolinski’s office and amazingly never experienced any pain while in the chair from all procedures performed which to date have included deep cleanings, filling cavities, root canal, new crown and dental whitening. Not only do they have a lovely state-​of-​the-​art office but really utilize all best new procedures and devices. The entire staff truly exudes consistent excellence and a genuine caring character.

I found La Jolla Family Dentistry on Google and was instantly impressed with their website. I work in the dental industry and come from a family who is also in the dental industry so needless to say, I am very particular when looking for a new Dentist for myself. Not only did the website and pictures of the office impress me, but Dr.‘s Jana & Eric Osmolinski have a remarkable resumes! I promptly called the office to make an appointment and when I did, Tess answered the phone. She was so sweet and a joy to speak with! (Not always the case in the healthcare field these days)
When I arrived the morning of my appointment, the office looked just as beautiful as the pictures online. Right when I walked through the door, I was greeted with a smile from Tess who said, Stephanie?! It’s so great to finally meet you!
Once I was brought back to the operatory for my cleaning I met Dr. Osmolinski. We reviewed my X-​rays together and she instantly put me at ease about a few concerns I had — she was very kind and funny!
After my exam, Angela came in to do my cleaning and man is she a hoot! I’ll tell ya, it sure is hard to keep your mouth open wide when you’re laughing and trying to carrying on a conversation! Haha!
The entire staff was so kind, warm and fun to be around and Manny is so sweet and such a firecracker!
I HIGHLY recommend giving La Jolla Family Dentistry a call if you’re in the market for a new Dentist. They won’t disappoint!

Where to even begin… I’ve been hunting a dentist in San Diego for a year. I’m very particular about who I let work on me. I finally found the best dentist southern California has to offer. Dr. Jana is immaculate. She’s incredibly skilled, thorough and talented at what she does. I have had nearly every tooth filled, had cleanings and even a root canal with her staff. They are welcoming, their hospitality is very comforting, all of their equipment is up to date and state of the art, their office is beautiful as well. Manny the dental assistant is such a great guy, is very handsome and kind. He makes me feel at ease, is diligent and works super hard along side Dr. Jana to provide the best treatment possible. You can tell a dentist as strong in her field as Dr. Jana is… she wouldn’t settle for less than utmost perfection, and she has that in Manny! Tess at the front desk is always on top of things, helps me chart out my weekly visits and plans for reconstruction. She’s upbeat, positive and what you want to see when you walk into a dentist office. I can’t say enough how grateful I am to have found such a great practice. I come so frequently to La Jolla Family Dentistry, they make me feel as ease and are always so nice to see. Keep up the good work guys, I hope to see you open offices all over that carry your standards! Thanks for all you have done for me.

This is based on my 1^st visit. Tess in the front, Manny the hygienist and Dr. Jana as the Dentist.
In my 25 years of trying different dentists & offices, I have not had an experience as wonderful as this one. I was greeted immediately when I walked in with 2 kids and Tess not once gave me or them a look of frustration. Instead, she smiled, offered drinks and was just amazing. I was called in and they waited in a very nice lobby. Very comfortable, clean and new environment. Tess is wonderful, very accommodating and nice.
I then met Manny. Also incredible. The machine for XRays gets praise as well. Just stand there and it takes pics. A 2 minute process with nothing shoved in your mouth and no spit stretching when they pull those things out. Yuck. Very comfortable and fast. Manny gave me the best cleaning I received in my life. It is the 1^st time I experience what people have meant by that smooth clean feeling. In fact, a week later, my teeth still feel incredible.
Then Dr. Jana came in. Here is what set this office far far apart from the rest. I had quiet a few cavities on the top part of my mouth and Manny showed me a few tricks to help with brushing that I wasn’t doing and was possibly missing the spots. What won me over is when both Dr. Jana and Manny, made me realize that a few concerns I had were not just happening to me. All this time I was made to think that it’s completely my fault that these concerns are happening and I need to spend tons of money to fix them, and they both assured me that yes it could be that but it’s something that happens to our teeth as we age as well. I left feeling so much better that I am not the only one experiencing these issues and it’s not even necessarily the way I do things. They made me feel human.
I can’t give enough praise to the service I received. If only every business can understand how having great staff is detrimental. I really hope this type of service continues forever and I will never leave this office :) AMAZING!

Absolutely the best Dr Jana and her staff are miracle workers, they are caring and treat you like family. The office is very zen and modern. I was at another dentist and met the team last year when i had zoom whitening and i have never forgotten the great experience and so i will tell everyone to make La Jolla Family Dentistry their dentist. Yours from now on you can count on it.

I would give LJ Family Dentistry 20 stars if I could! Dr. Jana Osmolinski and Dr. Eric Osmolinski are simply the most skilled, compassionate and thorough dentists and oral surgeons I have ever met. I have extensive experience now with both doctors, since they have treated myself, my mother, my stepson, my husband and, recently, a close friend in an emergency situation.
First, the office is extremely clean and professional. The staff is warm, responsive, and detail-​oriented, going way beyond what one would expect. Second, every service my family and friends have received has been perfection. From multiple cleanings to fillings, bondings and cosmetic services, Dr. Jana has been incredibly thorough, meticulous and always a true pleasure to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable and settles for nothing less than perfection. My gums were receding in certain spots and Jana bonded the areas so beautifully — it is virtually impossible to tell I’ve had any work done. I have seen so many reconstructed mouths in this town and more often than not it is obvious that the person has fake teeth. Jana is very visually oriented and makes certain that her work is thorough and looks seamless and natural. My mother is considering a full-​mouth reconstruction, and I feel so blessed that we will have Jana to do the work … I know it will be done perfectly and look natural and beautiful.
Also, my husband’s mouth and teeth have never been better. He gets regular cleanings because he suffers from periodontitis. Jana’s hygienist does a spectacular job thoroughly cleaning his teeth and maintaining a healthy mouth. He recently got a whitening, and, again, the result was fantastic and very natural looking … not like he’s got bleached teeth! I will be going in soon to have it done myself, and I can’t wait!
Finally, I have to say I recently had the privilege and pleasure to see Dr. Eric Osmolinski at work. My friend’s 4 year old son fell and severely injured his gums. I called LJ Family Dentistry in a panic on a Sunday, and Dr. Eric and Jana both made themselves available and responded exceptionally to the urgency of the situation. Within 15 minutes, we were at the office and Dr. Eric was stitching up a very upset little boy, calming him and allaying his mother’s anxiety. Within minutes, the boy’s gums were stitched and the work was perfect … I don’t know how stitches can be considered pretty, but these were! I couldn’t believe how precise and graceful Dr. Eric and Jana were in an emergency situation.
We are lucky, lucky, lucky to have such a fantastic dentist and oral surgeon in the neighborhood. Look no further! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend.

Even at the age of 23, I have grown to appreciate and seek only quality service experiences and choosing what my gut feels will be the best experience. After being seen by both Dr. Jana and Dr. Eric Osmolinski, as well as their hygienist and their gem of an Office Manager, Tess, La Jolla family dentistry is my go to place for dental care.
Through extractions and dental surgery, they were upfront about what they were doing, always asked if I was okay, and the after-​procedure check ups via telephone and in office were exceptional. Great people at La Jolla Family Dentistry.

I LOVE this place! Dr. Jana is so caring, compassionate and educated! Her staff is very professional and organized– Tess is the best she always returns my calls in a timely manner, is friendly and very very helpful. Tess was the first person I spoke with when I called about Invisalign and she was on top of it with insurance and getting me right in and started treatment. I tried other dentists but it was always about the money and they didn’t want to work with my insurance. I just about gave up and then found Dr. Jana through living social and gave it one last shot. I’ve always wanted a beautiful smile but it just would’ve NEVER happened had I not found this place. I enjoy coming here and chatting with Tess and Dr. Jana about our kids they have a wonderful relationship which makes for a very comfortable atmosphere. I am very happy with my results!!!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Jana Osmolinski. Tess with customer service was excellent, friendly and outgoing. The staff made me feel very relaxed and comfortable as I am typically nervous at a dentist office. Dr. Jana replaced a crown and it was perfect and painless. They offer amazing state of the art equipment and sedation dentistry. I highly recommend their services.

I have been coming here for the past year for major dental treatment, Dr. Jana Osmolinski pretty much reconstructed my mouth with the most amazing professionalism I’ve ever seen a Doctor perform. I had 4 root canals with a terrible infection, she replaced my broken tooth that i had from a previous incomplete root canal root canal treatment which was completely broken and now i actually have a tooth there. She is very gentle and caring about how she conducts her surgeries i truly and highly recommend this place to anyone who needs dental work. Her staff is just as awesome ’ Miguel ’ is the best dental assistant I’ve seen so far he is very hands on and follows the Dr. Osmolinski’s instructions all too well. Her office is always spotless and you get the same warm greeting every time you walk through the door. Thank you Dr. Osmolinski for all your service so far.

OH MY GOSH!!! Absolutely the best best best dentistry ever! Great staffs and beautiful facility. Zoom whitening works my teeth have never been this white, I’m thrilled with the results. Thank you this is as good as it gets!!!

Great Dr. and great staff.
Everyone there is so kind and warm.
If you need a dentist, this is where you want to go.
