Douglas N Christiansen, DDS

I recently moved out of the area (bay area) and had to see a new dentist. In my fifteen years at De Anza Dental I never once hated going to the dentist. I didn’t understand why people hated going to the dentist… Well, after visiting a new dentist, I completely understand why people hate the dentist. I love Dr. Christensen and his staff! They make the dental experience enjoyable! I didn’t realize how spoiled I had been. If you are looking for dentist I 100% recommend De Anza Dental!!!

I was in San Diego for vacation and had an onlay crack and fall off of my molar. This is my mother-in-law’s dentist and she was able to get me an emergency appointment on Christmas Eve. The entire office was friendly, professional and efficient. I was able to get a temporary fix on my tooth that will hold until I can back home to my own dentist. Highly recommended.

When you’re afraid of Dentists as I am, finding Dr. Christiansen through a friend was a God Send. He is thorough, polite, extremely professional, explains everything to you, and his staff is comparable. The office also calls you the day after your appointment just to make sure you are doing okay. When it comes to teeth and oral health, he means business!!! Waiting for my insurance to kick in so I can continue with my plan of action as suggested by Dr. Christiansen. BTW: He is not one of these HARD SELL dentists who try to talk you into looking like you have NEWSCASTER teeth! Love him and will not visit another dentist as long as he is around!!!

I’m new to San Diego, and I am SO HAPPY I found this place. It’s been way too long since I had last seen a dentist and needed some serious last minute work done. They were friendly, professional, and to the point. Best of all, they never once lectured me on how I should have been doing everything different the last ten years. They just found the work that needed to be done, and did it. I look forward to taking care of all my cleanings and other dental work here from now on.

As a dental business management consultant you may say that I get to see what is going on «behind the scene» and you’d be correct, I’ve seen over 1000 dental offices across the US. Dr. Christiansen’s practice would rank as one of the best offices I’ve had the pleasure of working with.
Great technicians each in their own field (Dr, hygienist, dental assistants and patient coordinator) and caring people !

Simply, Dr. Christiansen and his staff are THE best! I’ve gotten fillings, some teeth bonding, a night guard done here (yeah, my teeth are far from perfect) and have been extremely satisfied with every visit. It’s evident Dr. Christiansen cares about his patients and always provides great recommendations if you’re looking to fix your teeth in any way.
Highly recommend him!

Used a groupon here. Very professional staff, Barbara the receptionist was very nice. The dentist basically took X-​rays and gave me a dental exam but didn’t give me the cleaning at all.

I am very satisfied by the doctor’s expertise as well as the friendliness of the staff. They are super helpful and very easy to talk to. I had a minor problem to be fixed and Dr. Christiansen fixed it easily. He told me to come back when I am ready to take action for a permanent solution. Thank you for laying down all options and letting me choose.

I LOVE GOING TO THE DENTIST!
What!!! You think I’m crazy, well I don’t care because Dr. Christiansen and his staff has got it goin on!
Not until I had got a big boy job that I finally was able to take care of my pearly whites… or not so pearly white… dont judge me! It’s tough not being under your parents dental insurance after turning 25!
Anywho, I was referred to Dr. Christiansen from my co worker and I was just pleased with her referral. The front desk staff are so personable and make you feel at home. The Dental hygienist are so friendly, helpful, and are cute too!
I was really impressed with Dr. Chistiansen’s assessment of my teeth, I mean let’s be real, they needed work. But Dr. Christiansen was not pushy and was all about taking one step at a time. He even showed me a video of the importance of flossing! AHhhhhhh I will always floss forever and ever! I know dentist have always said to floss blah blah. But Dr. Christian was more empathetic and TAUGHT not told me the importance of flossing, tartar build up, gingivitis and all that other dentistry vocabulary.
The office itself is very clean, quaint and cozy. I love how they have TV at every single chair and the staff always ask what channel you would like to watch before starting on anything! I’m very happy and satisfied with my De Anza Dental!!!
I’m walking out with the best choppers EVER! Please hold your applause.

Dr. Christensen and his staff are top notch. First visit back after being away from San Diego for 7 years was great. He has a great office environment. He has a very good staff. I would recomend him. He has treated my whole family.

Dr. Christiansen is as nice of a person you can find, and does impeccable work as well. His staff is courteous and helpful, always willing to go that extra mile to make sure your happy with your work. :-)

Ive had my teeth worked on by different dentists and Dr. Christiansen one of those dentists you are actually comfortable visiting. ALL THE STAFF MEMBERS at the dental office are Top Notch! They explain what everything so you understand whats going on… It appears Dr. Christiansen is about quality work. They definitely deserve all the accolades given to them.

Retuned to the Dr Chritiansens office today and they took great care of me, low prices, totally professional. I will be returning soon for cleaning and a regular check up. Usually I am scared to go to the dentist, not here, they make me feel at ease. Thank you.

I have been going to this dentist since 1993 and have really been satisfied. Rikki, Beth, Gail and Dr. Christensen treat each other and their patients like a family. If you’re looking for consistency, caring, and professional dentistry, this is the place. I highly recommend them for dental care of all kinds.

Really liked the dentist and the hygenist but too many problems with surprise balance billing and the front desk person has a tendency to share confidential information about other patients loudly on the phone while patients are sitting in chairs easily within earshot. I finally got tired of the balance bills that weren’t justified so have moved on.
