Helen Garon, DDS – San Diego Trolley Dental Group

My 5 year old has had perfect check ups at the Super Dentist her whole life. And then suddenly at her last visit she needed over $ 3000 worth of work including 5 root canals and pulling a tooth. I thought this was crazy so I set out for a second opinion. That is when I found Trolley Dental.
Everyone at Trolley Dental is super friendly. My daughter ended up needing 8 fillings. I found out that the «super dentist» hadn’t. been using all the x-​rays allotted by my insurance company so they missed necessary work that resulted in one of my child’s teeth breaking. Trolley Dentistry had my daughter so at ease through out her visits that she fell asleep everytime. No gas, just people that know what they are doing. In the end, after 8 fillings and 4 visits, she is happy, I am happy and it only cost me about $ 220. Which is a far cry from the $ 3000 the so called «super dentist» was quoting.

After the horrible experience I had at the Super Dentists office, with my 5 year old son and I being treated like more of a quota being met than actual customers, I was referred to this office by my mom. Dr Helen Garon was the dentist, but her assistant and front desk receptionist was just as sweet, helpful, and friendly.
Why 5 stars? First of all, my son’s teeth cleaning, prestine. It didn’t take 5 whole minutes at the most like at Super Dentists, it was thorough and both the dentist and assistant took their time to make sure my son was comfortable.
The procedure that had to be done was to pull two of the bottom front teeth out. Unlike the Super Dentists, where even though they didn’t give him a shot to numb him, he still ended up screaming, crying, and traumatized, but at this office, she gave him a shot, but first used topical cream to numb where she was going to give him the shot, and made sure he didn’t see it by making him close his eyes and distracting him by moving his lips while doing it (talk about versatile!)…He didn’t even flinch, I was so amazed!
She is a must… this office will take their time on you, you are not just a patient, but a valuable customer, and service like that is worth every penny more than the Super Dentists who trick you with a place that is «portrayed» as kid-friendly…not.
*HIGHLY RECOMMENDED*
