Michael Maude Dentistry

The Dream Dentist!
Before I begin, allow me to clarify that I am an Anti Dentite (Seinfeld)! I simply cannot stand dentists. Soon or late, I end up in a fight with them. Dentists, like politicians and diapers, eventually become so full of themselves, that’s why they need to be changed once a while! I had my history of nightmare dentists, some had no clue what they were doing, some ended up becoming «Cash Registers» ching ching, and some ended up being «High Sea Pirates»! The long story short, dentists are like wormed apples, delicious on the outside but rotten to the core inside! Soon or late you find out that either they are incompetent or crooks and possibly both!
On the bright side, I got some good news for you! As a journalist, after a lengthy research and experiment, I have discovered «The Salvation»! I have found a Jewel of a Man! How odd to find a spark of hope in this sea of infested quagmires! I have finally found a reliable, responsible, knowledgeable, educated, moral, decent, modest, funny, friendly, down to earth and lovely dentist! Can you believe it?!
Not that Dr. Michael Maude is well over qualified, yet he is actually a human! Believe me, he is not a robot, bandit, pirate or a shrewd businessman! The secret to his success is that primarily he actually knows what he is doing, secondarily, he is down to earth friendly and third, as a decent human being, he provides you the best results for your money. The man got two branches, history of experience, tons of satisfied patients, lovely attitude and on top of it all, he is a gardener with a garden full of fruit trees who brings the fruits of his labor (literally) to the office and shares it with his patients! I’m a gardener, how can you be a gardener and then not to have a pleasant personality?! Gardeners are delightful!
The main reason that I have chosen him as my dentist was that he does everything from minor dental work to complicated root canals, from pulling teeth to cosmetic work, from crowning to deep cleaning, from window cleaning to equipment repair, from software configuration to computer applications operation and from preparing the fruits to serving them! This guy is a one man show! Unless the job is terribly complicated, he does not shift you to other dentists to pull a tooth, root canal or minor surgery! This way, your time does not get wasted and you can get everything done in one office. I do not have time to roam around town and I want to get things done in one place, that’s why I love this guy. So far I had 5 sessions with him, he has done X-​Ray, checkup, diagnosis, made a complete special plan for me, special deep cleaning on my bottom jaw, antibiotic packs, pulled a wisdom tooth, cleaned and crowned another one, and delighted me with his lovely character and friendly chats.
Dr. Michael Maude has a great team working with him. Andrea the Dental Assistant is funny, lovely and professional. Kaitlin the Office Manager is very helpful and resourceful. The rest of the team are also good in what they do.
The moral of the story is that as an obsessive compulsive perfectionist, I have found my latest discovery as my special dentist. He has passed my test drive. He is a detail oriented, caring perfectionist; furthermore, he is a decent and a moral human being. You should take advantage of Dr. Maude; get some of him while it lasts because unlike his fruits, old school, decent, top notch dentists like him do not grow on trees. Get some Maude in your life before he all runs out!

Most Recent Work Done: 3 fillings, top left, top right and bottom right, DONE IN 55 MIN. I’m afraid of needles specially ones in my gums (ouch) so if I’m rating 5 stars that means something (to me at least lol).
Dr. Maude is amazing at his job and yet incredibly humble. EXPLAINS what you will most likely feel, what is being done while its being done, constantly asking if you are ok or need a break, THANKING me for being patient (like what? Thank YOU for not torturing me), making me laugh during the procedure to calm me down, very sensitive and perceptive to body language.
Environment: Small office, welcoming super nice warm, GREAT MUSIC, laid back, professional yet fun. THE PEOPLE ARE SO NICE! and super hilarious. Everyone working seems to want to be there which says a lot.
Recommendation: If you have ever been afraid of the dentist because of a bad experience or cause dental work sucks in general give him a visit. You will finally stop your teeth from rotting further AND actually look forward to getting work done cause you CAN TRUST THIS MAN.
ONLY NEGATIVE: Limited hours.

I came to Dr. Maude’s office when I was experiencing some pregnancy related gingivitis — it was so convenient since his office is next door to my work office. Being nice and close is always convenient, but I had no idea how awesome Dr. Maude and his staff were! I’ve since made the switch from my other dentist to Dr. Maude and I’m so happy with my choice.
Thanks for being great, Dr. Maude and staff!

I just had my first dental work done with Dr. Maude. All my life I have had trouble getting numb for dental work and have often needed to get many injections during work to stop the pain. I told Dr Maude this before he started and he mixed up some amazing solution, gave it to me once in a few places to make sure it covered all the nerves, and I never suffered any pain during the procedure. This is the first time that this has ever happened.
His assistant, Andrea, was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do when and how to help assist. She made and put on the temporary crown for me and did a wonderful job of fitting it.
Next, I has Vanessa clean my teeth. Usually, my gums are screaming after a cleaning. She was so gentle, but thorough. She took her time to make sure all the stains from my past smoking habit were removed. Then she also noticed I had dry mouth and recommended a special rinse I could use and gave me some free samples.
I could not recommend Dr Maude and his staff more highly. They are amazing, gentle, kind, and accommodating. Finally I won’t dread going to get dental work!

Dr. Maude and his staff are the best-​professional, caring, and kind. I was referred to Dr. Maude by a coworker, as I was looking for a dentist and had many bad experiences with dentists. Dr. Maude is amazing. He has treated my cavities and have come to my rescue during an emergency situation, and put on gorgeous veneers on my teeth. He is a very kind and gentle dentist. My husband also sees Dr. Maude and always comes home saying how great he is. He is a great dentist for the entire family. Both of his office locations are clean and comfortable.

I just had 2 fillings done by Dr. Maude at Rancho Penasquitos location.
I wonder why I had to go to another dentist, whose location is far away, for 13 years whose workmanship is much more inferior to Dr Maude.
Dr, Maude spent about 5 times more time to make sure the filling to shape a perfect bite; and polish them to sparkling smooth, and shine.
Hands down. I give him another 5 stars.

After around 20 – 30 cavities, I have a lot of experience dealing with dentists. Dr. Maude is easily the best out of the three I’ve had over the years, and he has filled at least eleven of my teeth.
In the past cavities have always felt quite rough and often painful after a trip to the dentist, but this is nowhere near the case with Dr. Maude. He uses the right amount of anesthetic (which was a problem with my last few dentists) and he is quite fast with his operations. I’d rather something be done right than quickly, but with Dr. Maude these are one and the same. This is a very impressive dentist.

scared of the dentist don’t be. Dr. Maude is the best dentist I had ever been too. he is so nice and very calm. you can tell he really cares about if you are hurting or not highly recommend all his staff is very very professional

My husband and I drive from Temecula to see Dr. Maude. We bring our whole family and HIGHLY recommend Dr. Maude to our friends. He is the BEST dentist. We have been going to him for over six years!!! Very meticulous, very gentle, and very thorough!

Although I had dental insurance for more than 15 years, I rarely went to see a dentist because I hardly had any problems with my teeth, and I hate going to a dentist. But all that changed after my first visit with Dr. Michael Maude.
I had been to see a couple of dentists in previous years, and every time I left feeling disturbed and angry after my first visit. I felt disturbed because I did not feel that their diagnosis was true and that much work was needed, you see I had excellent insurance, and I was angry because of the way the dentists or their staff talked to me. They were condescending in demeanor and short in explaining the what’s and whys of the procedures that they are recommending.
On the other hand my experience at Dr. Maude’s office was the opposite. From the first minute I stepped into the clinic I was greeted cheerfully, was treated with respect and kindness. Dr. Maude explained and showed me everything that was needed to be done, and during the procedures he told me step by step what he was doing and what to expect. He kept asking me if I was okay and should he proceed to the next step. I felt I was in charge and not just lying there with my numb and open mouth helpless.
I highly recommend Dr. Maude and his staff.

Best family dentist in PQ! I love the small office atmosphere and the receptionist and hygienist are sweet as can be. Dr Maude is very comforting, gentle and approachable.

Good dentist, very patient with my little kids who were everywhere… Can recommend

I was bad… i moved to San Diego a couple of years ago and «forgot» about going to the dentist (yeah, I’m not alone in fearing those guys). I started having trouble with my sinuses and my eye, which an MD looked at and suggested it’s actually a tooth «gone to the dark side»… so, I should see a dentist.
My wife had done the research about dentists (yup, she’s better about this than me) and gotten several references about Dr. Maude. She decided Dr. Maude was «it» and had a couple of great visits (fast and comfortable)… she suggested I go there.
OK then…
I called Dr. Maude’s office and was in on the SAME day (they fit me in over their lunch break !!!). It took 3 visits to get the root canal, crown, and cleaning… but I’m as good as new. No fuss, no muss… VERY different than what I was «afraid of».
The killer about all this was I offered to pay up-​front and wait for insurance reimbursement because I hadn’t (obviously) used my dental benefit and didn’t know which company had the insurance. They really (nicely) insisted that it was their job to chase down insurance companies and would only take a promise that I wouldn’t «disappear» on them.
I don’t really (still) like dentists much. But if I WAS going to start, it would be because of Michael Maude.
I can’t recommend Dr. Maude more highly. A fantastic experience.
