Koka Dental Clinic

If I could rate them with more stars I would!
Dr. Koka and Dot are the best there is. I have been searching for a Dr/​Dentist that I trust for over 5 years. I would go for the consult and never return. I just couldn’t bring myself to go through with the procedure that each dentist told me that needed to be done. I found Koka Dental online and for some reason I thought I would give them a call… Even though they are more than 15 miles away from where I live. After calling and speaking to Dot, she was so comforting and knowledgable that I thought I will go in for yet another consult. After going for the consult, Dr. Koka basically confirmed what all the prior dentists said however the difference was I felt confident to go forward with him. Dr. Koka was very patient, extremely knowledgeable, and appeared to genuinely care about my well being. Something I hadn’t experienced with any of my prior visits with the other dentists. So much to my own surprise i decided to take the leap of faith and have the work done.
On the day of my procedure both Dot and the Dr. were exactly as they had been with every appointment leading up to my procedure … TOP NOTCH! Having had 29 teeth pulled and a full set of dentures … I was in and out of the office in what seemed like record timing. I had no swelling, absolutely no bruising, and pain medication was not ever needed. My jaws were never sore from the teeth pulling. It was such a different experience from what I had feared for YEARS!
I can honestly say that I am so grateful that I «stumbled upon» Dr. Koka’s number. I will forever be grateful for them taking the time that they did for me. I truly feel like my quality of life has changed because of them. (I can smile again with confidence… And more importantly… I can eat again.). I have already recommended this outstanding duo to my family members and HIGHLY recommend them to anyone in need of their services.

So last night one of my biggest fears manifested. My removable partial denture broke (it’s my front tooth so you can imagine my current state of mind). So I spent most of this morning researching a dentist in San Diego (something I probably should have done when i first moved here but that’s not the point). Finally, i found these reviews for Dr. Koka and I figured why not give them a call.
I just called them and I have to say in my life, this is by far the best customer service i have ever received. I have lived in three continents and many countries in between and never have i felt such understanding and kindness over the phone.
The doctor is out of town but once he is back, he would come in for a Sunday appointment (A sunday appointment people!!!). I just feel like crying for joy.
I would update this review once I’ve been there but at this point, I’m sold on this place.

Koka Dental Clinic is the BEST!!! Everyone is so kind and knowledgable. Anyone can call and speak with receptionist extraordinaire Dot — She’s awesome! She knows how to communicate with patients from people who have never been to the dentist to speaking with people with advanced dental knowledge. She can literally answer any question. The facility is so clean and organized. The machines and dental equipment are top of the line.
Dr. Koka is by far the best Prosthodontist ever. My father is a hard working long haul truck driver and was in town only for a little while and desperately needed his dentures and implants fixed, as soon as possible. My dad barely could eat because he was in so much pain. I was referred to Dr. Koka and that he would be the best prosthodontist in all of San Diego for the job. He was. On the drive over all I heard my trucker father say was «I sure don’t like the dentist» «I hate going to the dentist.» «I think I left my wallet at home…» you get the idea. We walk up to the office and Dot the receptionist and assistant was holding the door open for my father. She warmly smiled and greeted us with coffee (perfect for my dad!) and had us take a seat while having a lovely conversation with us. Dr. Koka came out immediately and sat down in the waiting room next to my dad and introduced himself and asked how he could help. (Nobody was in the room, so privacy wasn’t an issue) I was blown away by the sincerity and kindness of this dentist. My dad, is a talker, so he told a long story of the hardships of his past dental experiences and everything he has been through has been really rough. Dr. Koka sat and listened to the entire story. They exchanged a few laughs, Dr. Koka has great humor too! He then brought my dad back to the exam room and examined his situation. After the exam, Dr. Koka told him what would need to be done with certainty and confidence that this would take care of his painful dental situation. My dad made it clear that he is never in the area and can’t come back a million times to keep getting work done. Dr. Koka understood this and did the job perfectly, my dad has never been happier and healthier. Thanks to Dr. Koka.
Koka Dental Clinic will be the best decision you ever made. I promise, they will make you feel right at home. :)

So, have you ever experienced that feeling of happiness and gratitude after you walk out the doors of any dental or medical office? Well if you want to experience that feeling like I did then please go see Dr. Koka for your dental needs. He is an extremely experienced and competent prosthodontist. And one of the best dental professionals that I have met by far.
Unfortunately, my tooth fractured after Christmas. I was devastated especially because I am a student! I do not have insurance so I was aware of the high costs of getting treatment done in a private office. I waited to call the dental offices around my area on Monday morning and every single office that I spoke with was very unsympathetic about my emergency and wanted to charge $ 150-​$ 200 just for the limited exam and x-​Ray alone! I knew my options would either be a crown or restoration, and treatment for that wouldn’t be feasible considering that I’m only in town for a couple more days! So why would I pay $ 200 to be seen by a dentist so that they can tell me that I needed a crown done? Anyways, I was so discouraged and upset that none of the offices were willing to help me.
but thankfully, I came across Koka Clinic and spoke with the receptionist, Dot. She was so kind and caring! She is such a sweet person, even in person. She was able to schedule me in to be seen by Dr. Koka that same day. In addition, Dr. Koka has a «pay as much as you would like for your initial consultation/​check — up «policy. I was extremely grateful because I have had medical experiences where I walked out of the office frustrated because I was stripped away of my money for no treatment or useful information.
Dr. Koka informed me of my options and he was able to help me. He definitely takes his time and is one of the more gentle dentists. His office is very clean, modern, and equipped with the newest dental equipment. So if you’re looking for a dentist and an office that actually cares then I highly recommend that you see Dr. Koka.

Greetings, I gave a brief review when I first met Dr. Koka recommending Koka Dental Clinic to anyone In need of a highly skilled and compassionate Prosthodontist. It is now the day after Christmas and this was the first I have smiled in pictures or enjoyed a holiday meal in over seven years. I could write pages! The appreciation, the extreme gratitude I feel sitting here right now is beyond words. Please, please if you or a loved one are in need call and schedule a consultation. I can promise you this, you will feel cared for and above all respected from the moment you walk through their doors. I will forever be greatful and will never experience another holiday season without this gift being at the top of my list for Thanksgiving. Thank you Dr. Koka, and your most excellent staff for giving me back my life, literally, I had givin up.
Sincerely, Chris M. 12.26.15

If you’re in need of implants or partials, honestly you can’t find a prosthodontics much better than Dr. Koka. He doesn’t sell his services, and his expertise does the selling for him. Both my dad and I got our implant crown/​partials here and we love them.
After 3 visits my implant was perfect.
I used new dental choice insurance with them and appreciate that he accepts it. I’ll be sending more referrals his way soon.

My experience is nearly identical to Vincent D. After going to another dentist near by (she also had high ratings here) and being told that I had infections that could go to my heart and even cause a heart attach… that I needed three crowns, etc. I felt like she should be working at a used car lot.
I explained to Dr. Koka that I did the research and was looking to just get a check up. Dot, Dr. Koka’s receptionist/​Asst. and fiancé’ took the exrays and Dr. Koka did the exam. My teeth need some work but nothing as critical as what the other dentist had led me to believe.
I told Dr. Koka, «I’ve never had a dentist actually sit with me and go over every tooth in my mouth with me explaining what he was seeing… so that I could understand it!» He replied «I hear that often». Dr. Koka has a chair side manner that puts you at ease almost immedietly and you don’t leave there feeling like you’ve been talking with a used car salesman. Absolutely no high pressure tactics like I’ve found at the last three dentists that I’ve gone to here in the San Diego and Coronado area.
Dr. Koka is new to the San Diego area so Google Dr. Sreenivas Koka and do your research. Then give Dot a call and make an appt. I already know that your Unilocal review will be similar to ours.
By the way… I was taken in as soon as I completed the paper work… very fast. And, the dentist office is newly remodeled, modern and clean… a very comfortable setting for a dentist office.

My mother had the worst experience with her dentures that a bad dentist made. He didnt listen at all when I told him that they did not fit her. They completely changed her face, she couldn’t eat at all. She wasn’t able to wear them either. She felt horrible because she didn’t love her smile as she should. We were recemmonded to go to Dr. Koka to make her a new pair of dentures. We are all amazed and joyful of the amazingly great quality Dr. Koka and his staff did. Her new pair of dentures are amazing, fit perfectly, and were made with so much care. We are all very grateful that they brought back her beautiful smile. She is glad she can finally eat her favorite food again. I recommend going to Koka Dental 100%. Dr. Koka and his assistant Dot are amazing people who gave my mother her confidence back.

For the longest time I searched for a dentist here in San Diego. I have some serious problems of neglect and the dental «professionals» I spoke to almost never seemed to care about what I had to say, which I found odd since it is MY mouth. A number of times I requested information about dentures but was finally talked into implants at $ 3,000.00 per tooth. I paid for and received 3 implants but very quickly wondered about the health and future well-​being of all of my other teeth.
Following a thorough internet search I happened upon Dr. Koka and the Koka Dental Clinic. Dr. Koka spent a very long time thoroughly explaining to me my treatment options and all of the costs thereof. Honestly, it is the first time in my 68 years I have felt comfortable and informed in a dental office setting AND I had never met Dr. Koka prior to this visit. FYI, This is also my first Unilocal review.
The next time you need dental work, call the Koka Dental Clinic and see for yourself what I am talking about. Dr. Koka and his staff, especially Dot, will take great care of you.
