McDonald Chapokas Dental

As always, friendly, professional and courteous. We’ve been seeing Dr. McDonald and Dr. Haase for 30 (?) years and have never had a problem.

Best dentist ever. Amazing work and complete professionals! Honest and compassionate Dr. Chapokas and his staff really care about you and your needs.

These dentists do an excellent job. They have always taken great care of me. You will be in good hands if you choose this practice. They really know what they are doing and they care.

I felt like I was in good hands. Everyone working there are friendly and try their best.

Honest, professional, and friendly. Not overpriced either.
Premises are very well decorated… feels very zen. Bamboo surrounds the outside.
Ask for Jane if you need a cleaning!

I have been there a few times. From my experiences so far — DR. Chapokas is always great. They are extraordinarily fair. Their service is superb. Highly recommended!

I agree with the other reviews posted. On several points.
I have had the need to sit in many dental chairs over the years. Every dentist, upon seeing my mouth for the first time always comments appreciatively about the quality of dentistry. So, I know a little about dentists, and dental procedures.
While I’ve only been here twice since I relocated to San Diego (once for hygienic cleaning, and once to repair a cracked crown), both visits have been most positive.
This latest visit was to have Dr. McDonald either replace or smooth out a cracked porcelain crown. Many dentists would have suggested replacing the crown, at a cost of ~$ 1,000, but Dr. McDonald suggested simply smoothing out the rough part, since it was not front and center. Therefore, my office visit was 15 minutes, and only $ 62.
I’m due for my 2^nd cleaning in a few weeks, and my wife, who is even pickier than I about dental care, also is very comfortable about returning!

Once again I had a wonderful experience. From the time I walked in the door. Super friendly greetings my appointment was at 1:30 and Dr Chapokas came out to greet me and took me back five minutes early. He is an amazing Doctor. Kind caring and extremely knowledgeable. He performed a full mouth restoration with eleven implants. I’ve never been happier. I constantly receive compliments about my smile. Thanks Dr C.

I had some horrendous experiences with San Diego dentists and am very grateful to have discovered McDonald Chapokas Dental. I have been going there for over 15 years and it is excellent. Now three generations of my family go there regularly.
My hygenist has worked in the office for 11 years and is genuinely caring. Both dentists are very professional and up on the latest technology so they make sound recommendations about what dental procedures are best and any other options to consider.

Dr. McDonald is truly the best dentist in San Diego.
Many years ago, I had made the rounds through the San Diego dental community and was unhappy with all of them. A friend recommended Dr. McDonald and I’ve been seeing him for over 20 years.
Where other dentists recommend unnecessary work, he will only recommend what you need. While others make you wait for 40 minutes just to see you for 5 minutes, he takes the time to talk to you, get to know you, make you feel comfortable and explain what work you need (if any) and why.
He and his staff are kind, very knowledgeable and true professionals.
Dr. McDonald will remain my one and only dentist and I would highly recommend him.

I have been going to Dr. Chapokas for several years and could not be more satisfied. The staff is very efficient and professional. Dr. Chapokas is extremely caring and professional. He takes the time to explain the options and procedures required to resolve my dental issues.

I have been working with these folks a short time. Dr. Chapokas is helping me with my Apnea device. The doctor and the whole group are a real breath of fresh air, especially compared to my last dentist. So far their attitude, friendliness and service cannot be beat. I even like the office décor. Feels kind of like a western lodge to me.

My family has been coming to this dental office for over 40 years, and the service has always been outstanding. Drs. Chapokas and MacDonald are highly professional, skilled, and their practice is characterized by integrity and excellence. I cannot imagine going elsewhere for dental care. They both explain dental issues in specific and understandable terms, and never recommend treatment that is not absolutely necessary.

Always great service. I can always get in and out of the office quickly.

I have yet to go into the office and NOT see a smiling face. The staff is genuine, friendly, helpful, efficient… I could go on and on. Dr. Chapokas is a rockstar! His explanation of the procedures he performed on me were on point, and he completely put my mind at ease.

I have been seen by both dentists. They are professional, honest and knowledgable. These traits are reflected by the rest of their staff. I am especially happy with the dental hygienists. They impart useful knowledge on how to better care for my teeth and gums, and prevent potential gum diseases. They are also mindful of the time. I didn’t have to wait long for my appointment. The seat is comfortable and the ambience is inviting.

My previous dentist, who shall remain unnamed, was charging me a small fortune and my first child. It was time for a change. I was referred to Dr. McDonald by a friend. Absolutely the best decision I’ve made in a while. I went in for what could have been a very expensive crown and Dr. McDonald decided I was a good candidate for a porcelain implant instead. Never felt the shot to numb my tooth, a very good start, and the procedure was basically painless and very high tech. End result: saved money and it was a one stop process. Done and feeling great! Thank you to Dr. McDonald and his fabulous staff! You all rock!

I always get superior service at McDonald Chapokas Dental. No matter what the problem, this practice gets you in quickly, provides excellent care, and charges less than the standard rate (providing breaks for those without dental insurance).
I highly recommend this practice to anyone who wants excellent service in all areas.

I’ve been coming to this dental office since I was old enough to see a dentist. Dr. McDonald and Dr. Chapokas are hands down the best!

Dr. Chapokas is hands down the best dentist I have ever been to. He took the time to listen to my concerns and made me feel extremely comfortable during the appointment. He is a perfectionist so you can be sure that you will never leave his office having had average dentistry done on you. I highly recommend him!
