Miyashiro Ellen A DMD

I have been coming to Doctor Miyashiro’s office for almost a decade. That alone should say a lot about her and her great staff. I completely trust Doctor Miyashiro, she truly cares about her patients and doing things the right way.
When I was on my parent’s insurance growing up I took this office for granted, but now that I am older and know how other dentist offices are I feel very lucky to have had a dentist like Doctor Miyashiro all these years. My teeth look better than they ever have and never do I feel discomfort from an irregular bite after a procedure, but if I do I know I can come right back into the office and it will get fixed.
From simple cleanings to fillings and crowns, I highly recommend Doctor Miyashiro and her staff.

I heard about Dr. M from Unilocal,and I’m glad I went there. Dr. M was very thorough with the exams. My hygienist Claudia did an awesome job cleaning my badly stained teeth, and it was not sore at all. The front desk (Debbie and Victoria) are always very courteous. Great experience overall.

I haven’t visited a dentist in 2 – 3 years and I abuse my teeth.
No lie.
I drink a couple cups of coffee and tea every day so by the time those years were over my teeth were stained a nice earthy color that though reminiscent of nature, was not pleasing to the eye. I thought I would have to get my teeth whitened but Dr. Miyashiro came to the rescue.
I thought the girl that took my x-​rays was funny and professional. Good job Victoria (or should I say Victory-​a, HAH!). The whole time Dr. Miyashiro told me stories about her family without asking me questions while her hands were in my mouth, you know what I mean? Everybody has that irritating experience where a dentist talks to you and you can’t respond with all that junk in your mouth, but I was able to avoid that here. She also had really light hands, so while she was working I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.
Afterwards, my teeth looked 100% better. The unsightly stains on the front of my teeth were now gone and I can abuse my teeth with caffeinated beverages without feeling bad. Huzzah!

Dr. Miyashiro is fantastic. I trust her completely. Her work (fixing several fillings from other dentists) has been flawless. She is the only dentist that I have ever been to who is able to get the fillings right the first time… so you don’t have to do back a week later because your bite is now uneven, etc.
I would say that she is «old school» in the very best possible sense of the phrase. She doesn’t have super fancy offices or flashy devices… but she knows what she is doing, and she really cares about her patients. If you want a dentist who is excellent, check out Dr. Miyashiro.
My partner has had a bunch of work done by her as well, and he has also been very pleased /​satisfied. She is one of the good ones.

I have been going to Dr. Ellen Miyashiro since I grew my teeth… so, for about 23 years or so! I would highly recommend her and her staff to anyone. They are prompt, friendly, honest, and provide thorough dental care… what more could you ask for from a dentist?!

I and my family have been going to see Ellen Miyashiro for about 25 years. We trust her completely; she is a terrific dentist. Wouldn’t even consider changing (and I dread the day she hangs up her instruments).

Excellent dentist and staff! Thank you, Unilocalers for pointing me in Dr. Miyashiro’s direction. I’ve never had such a gentle, thorough exam and cleaning in my life. Everyone on staff is so friendly and welcoming. I’d give them 10 stars if I could!

i came to Dr. Miyashiro’s office after a reference from a coworker and she was incredible! She was very diligent about cleaning my teeth and — as the previous reviews state — pointed out things that my previous dentist did not. Everyone in her office is very nice, friendly and professional. Dr. Miyashiro also takes as much time as needed to complete whatever it is that your teeth needs done.

One of the best general dentists in San Diego. I trust Dr. Miyashiro’s advice absolutely, and her work is consistently of the highest quality. (Other dentists, specialists I have needed to consult from time to time, see my crowns and either know, or want to know, who did the work.)

Wow. I really love going to Dr. Miyashiro’s office. I tried 4 different other dentists in the area until I met her. Her office came with really high recommendations from my coworkers, who all go to her. I’ve been with Dr. Miyashiro for about 3 years now. She’s never pushed (or even mentioned) teeth whitening or invisalign like a lot of other dental offices. Her specialty is healthy teeth and gums. I still remember how she gave me the most thorough one-​hour (w/​o cleaning) exam ever – checking my gum pockets and double counting my teeth and really getting her fingers in there to feel my mouth. Dr. Miyashiro and her staff (hygenists and receptionist) are extremely knowledgeable. Her hygenists really get in there to clean your teeth. I really do enjoy going to see the dentist! Oh, and you get really a really cute newsletter from Dr. Miyashiro every season and plums from her office when she has extra from her orchard. :)

I went to my first appointment with Ms. Miyashiro a couple of months ago. I was recommended to her by a company friend of my dad’s who used to live down here. They had my previous dentist send my records to them so they could review my dental history. The secretary was very accommodating when I was making my appointment and I was able to find a time that fit my schedule.
Ms. Miyashiro did a full inspection herself along with a very thorough cleaning. The only work the assistant did was take pictures, some of which Miyashiro made her redo because they weren’t good enough. She noticed and told me about problems that my previous dentist never brought up mainly to do with my jaw alignment and gums. She made all my gums bleed something that doesn’t normally happen, but I don’t floss so it probably means she doing something better. She was pleasant to talk to for the most part but not overly talkative. Overall, I felt like I was in very knowledgeable and experienced hands.
