Dr. Fiona is wonderful and everyone else working at North Coast Dental Excellence. The initial visit wait was long, but I could tell it was unusual for the place and they were short staffed (plus COVID makes everything harder). An extremely welcoming office who got me a dental plan of action right away. Great cleaning by the hygienist and an experience that has reminded me how important mouth health is...thanks to everyone on the team!

Was not too sympathetic toward TMJ and wouldn't let me ask questions. Zocdoc wanted to wrap it up fast without giving me a chance to talk

The dentist is amazing. The initial paperwork seemed a bit excessive but that was the only part I didn't like. The dentist was super nice and laid out a full treatment plan of all work that needs to be done that I received a printed copy of to take home. It included the costs of the care then the portion I have to pay after they calculated my insurance. I'm really impressed!
March 20, 2020Catherine S.Verified patient
The entire staff is wonderful!
March 3, 2020Elizabeth K.Verified patient
She’s an excellent dentist, she’s very knowledgeable, and she’s very gentle. I am a long time patient of hers and I would highly recommend her to everyone. She has a big bright smile on her face and has lots of hugs. Her office staff is great too.

The doctor, the receptionist and the girl who took X-rays of my teeth were all very friendly and information and extremely helpful. Took all the nerve out of visiting a dentist!
July 9, 2018Kevin G.Verified patient
Araceli at reception was very kind and helped me get in for a rather urgent pain issue. I didn't have to wait long to be seen and Dr. T was very kind. She checked in with me often during my extraction which was comforting.
March 2, 2018Britney D.Verified patient
Very nice and straightforward person. No hype or sales pitch. Took the time to explain and diagram exactly what was needed and the possibilities that existed, i.e. the possibility of a circumstance in which the work, and thus the cost, could be significantly higher.
If I choose to go with this doctor, I have a full understanding of what will and what could be the outcome.
Since I'm still deciding whether to have the work done here, I cannot yet evaluate this doctor's performance.
