Verified patient
Friendly staff and a great doctor. However, they performed a more detailed cleaning (scaling) without informing me beforehand, which makes me hesitant to return. I find it hard to trust any business when communication isn’t clear. I don’t mind paying extra for the additional work, but what if I couldn’t afford it or didn’t want the deeper cleaning? I didn’t find out until I got to the front and received the bill. Overall, friendly team and a convenient Clairemont location, but the lack of upfront communication was disappointing.

I very much enjoyed my visit with Dr. Aldabe at Claremont Mesa Dental Center. The office was clean. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. I was seen by a dental hygienist right away and soon after, Dr. Aldabe. They both were very friendly and considerate. They were attentive and really listened to my needs and concerns. They were very professional and gentle with my procedures. I also appreciated that Dr. Aldabe checked in often to make sure that I was comfortable and not in pain. I especially liked that the doctor took the time out to set up an active care plan for me detailing the course of action to get me to my dream smile. As soon as I left the office, I recommended Dr. Aldabe to a friend of mine who is also looking for a dentist. 10/10 experience.

Great service
Verified patient
Friendly staff and clear communication helped me feel at ease. Everyone explained what they were doing and why at every step of the way. I left with all my questions answered.
The office contacted me and the appointment was cancelled bc I am out of network. On day of cancelled appointment I was still charged for missing the appointment.
excellent

I hadn't been to the dentist in a very long time (12 years). I had fears and anxiety about the visit only because I wasn't sure what to expect. The staff was outstanding! They were helpful and welcoming from my pre-visit communication, to the cleaning, x rays, and the exam/consultation. Dr Aldabe and his assistant Sadie were wonderful in their approach. They quickly calmed my fears and approached my situation with patience and understanding. The treatment plan that they drew up for me was clear, easy to understand, and reasonable. They were also excellent in assisting me in navigating the pricing and insurance details. Not to mention: my teeth look amazing compared to what I had going on before. I would highly recommend Dr Aldabe and his Team! A+ work.
Amazing! Dr. Aldabe was amazing and I wish I found him sooner before my move! Staff was amazing and the receptionist Heather was so great in helping me get my insurance information. I will be recommending his office to all my friends still in San Diego. Will be back should my family find themselves back here :)

Great experience!
Verified patient
Staff were welcoming, friendly, patient, and very good at explaining the processes. Doc was very open in discussing options, along with setting options for a corrective plan. It was my first time there, but seems family style business (which is good). Good personal care and not rushing you in and out.
Verified patient
Great team, great office! The admins, the assistants, the hygienist, and the doctor were all awesome and great at their jobs. Dentist of choice while I live in San Diego.
Verified patient
Really friendly and competent staff. One of the least uncomfortable cleanings/set of xrays I’ve had. The doctor and staff were knowledgeable and communicated everything really clearly. The office is a little dated but who cares, they were really on top of everything where it counts!
I have dentist anxiety and my appointment today went so well. Dr. Aldabe is amazing and so kind and helpful, his whole team is like this as well! Dare I say, I can't wait to go back!
Verified patient
I have a bit of dental anxiety and Dr Aldabe and his staff are great! I’ve already had a follow up appointment and my nerves were put at ease. I’m so happy I found this office.
This place was amazing I needed to be seen by a specialist and they continued to assist me in find a specialist who accepted my insurance even after my appointment!! Thank you
Verified patient
I hadn’t been to the dentist in 9 years and was anxious about going, but Ali and the team made it as enjoyable as possible and provided helpful insight. They were friendly, professional, and skilled. Overall, very happy with my visit and already have my next appt scheduled for 6mos out. Highly recommend, only thing is the building seems antiquated, but aesthetics pale in comparison to the care offered.
Verified patient
Dr. Ali Aldabe and his team were prompt, kind, and gave thorough explanations of everything happening. I am so happy Zocdoc suggested this office!
Verified patient
Great experience. Highly recommended!
Verified patient
All staff members were very nice, communicative and hospitable. Office was cleanish but definitely could’ve used a deeper clean.
Horrible. Filled out paperwork night before appointment arrived 10 minutes early. Provided insurance information again, 15 minutes later the front desk receptionist says be right with you. 40 minutes later I walk up and they say oh you don’t have insurance. I ask how come they didn’t verify prior to appointment, that way I could have addressed the situation and remedy it and kept my appointment. I walked out and verified my insurgence in less than 10 minutes. Won’t be returning here for any reason. In prepared staff who obviously do not know what they are doing.
Amazing! I’ve had pretty bad experiences with dentists in the past and this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had! As soon as I checked in I was escorted back for X-rays! No pain! Outstandingly nice staff! I look forward to my next visit!
Verified patient
I haven't been to the dentist in over 20yrrs because I had a bad experience but Dr Aldabe is an awesome dentist that cares about his clients and he takes great pride in his work. I was treated like family and respect and all his team that work for him are such amazing people that really value your opinion. Thank you all for making my. first visit so comforting and stress free.
Verified patient
Mr. Aldabe and his staff were very nice and knowledgeable. It had been almost 5yrs since I’ve been to a dentist and they made the process of coming back to the dentist easy enough. Thank you for what you bring to the city of San Diego. I look forward to coming back for my future visits.

amazing staff
Verified patient
The entire team was friendly and professional!
One of the very last places where you’ll get the genuine down to earth patient care that’s so sparse these days! Incredible staff, very friendly and professional. They called to confirm my information and insurance before I even came in, and were ready for me as soon as I walked through the door! Thank you for making my dentist appointment so pleasant!
Verified patient
The doctor, front desk, and technician are great and caring. Love the people there. However, the x ray experience sucks, i wish they have a panoramic teeth x ray machine. This is a dealbreaker for me so I won't go back even though the doctor is very nice.
This was my first visit with Dr. Ali! He was wonderful, understanding, incredibly kind! One of my best dentist visits I’ve ever had !!
