PATIENT REVIEWS

I wish I would of came here first. Started off with some shady dental offices that left me a bit skeptical to the dental field but after a few referral from friends and family I decided to check out Bristol Dental. I have not been disappointed. From the beginning with Joanna who took my call and was able to speed up my time by providing me the patient forms online to the amazingly sweet girls, Rocio and Diana, who welcomed me with warms smiles and a quick entry (aka not waiting there for 1 hr to get attended like the previous location) to the incredible hygienists Jen and Claudia who took very good care of me and made sure I was comfortable the entire time I was getting x-rays and cleanings, to the Dr. Shalaby who gave me a plan and was patient with every question I had. Every single person in there was kind, and was able to answer every question I threw at them. They always had straight forward answer and were never hesitant. They were even able to schedule in some filings I needed done that same day and help me with some other procedures I needed. My trust in the dental field has been reestablish .

I started my orthodontic treatment a year ago and in couple days braces are coming off. I couldn’t be happier with the service here. Ana the receptionist always makes everyone feel welcome and she tries her best to arrange the best time for your appointments. All the staff has been great, they make a great team. I also love the fact that there is no waiting, I always go in within 5 minutes of my arrival. Overall my experience has been great for this pass year that I had to be going to monthly appointments.

I came to this place 3 years ago and got my first consultation for my Invisalign treatment and I am still going here until this very day.  Everyone here is exceptional. Dr. Shalaby is very kind, professional and a true craftsman and perfectionist. He has made my teeth look their absolute best and I am able to smile a lot more with confidence. He is a straight shooter, he will tell you like it is and I am so happy that I chose him to be my dentist. Last but not least, Lino; Thank you for all of your help with my treatment as well. I actually enjoy every single visit because of your attention to detail, taking time to talk to me and not treating me like another number (patient) to rush through.  After my Invisalign plan is completed, I will continue to get any dental work I need here. I trust them with my teeth for sure.
Thank you Dr. Shalaby and staff for everything you guys have done for me!

Where do i begin! I had so many problems with my teeth but been putting them off for quite a while now. Finally made an appointment and went in to see Dr. Shalaby. He made a treatment plan and 2 months later, I was good as new! I had some fillings done, cleaning, and three wisdom teeth extraction. I was terrified before my first tooth extraction but after the first one was done, I knew i could relax (the nitrous gas helped a lot too!) The staff is always friendly, the place is clean, and they always call to verify your appointment which is very helpful for a forgetful person like myself. Highly recommend!

So, had a bad experience with a different doctor (…) – but Dr. Shalaby fixed me.  For the first time in two years I was pain free.  He was great…he sincerely cared about the pain I was in and went out of his way to make it better.  The entire office was gentle and professional.  I truly recommend Bristol Dental and Ortho!

I’ve been coming to Bristol Dental and Orthodontics for about 5 years now. They are the place to go for any of you dental needs. I’ve gotten fillings, xrays, wisdom teeth removed, cleanings, and braces. Everyone I’ve ever met there has been so sweet to me.

I ABSOLUTELY love Dr. Shalaby, Lino, Claudia and all the rest of the staff of Bristol Dental & Orthodontics.  My husband and I started going to Bristol Dental in 2015, after a couple of bad and traumatizing experiences with other dentists earlier that year. And all I have to say is what a difference! Dr. Shalaby and his staff were extremely polite and welcoming, and made me feel taken care of, explaining me every step of the way and answering my inumeroues questions sometimes. And that definitely won me over, after having bad experiences and feeling a little afraid of going to the dentist. And the work they do is impeccable, class A without any doubts! The fact that the front desk really works with you to try to accommodate what you need to do and your finances is a great plus as well! I will ALWAYS recommend Dr. Shalaby and his staff, they definitely made my husband and I feel at hom

Have been going to Bristol Dental for many years and I’ve always have had a great experience. From the professional doctors / assistants to the very helpful people at the front desk. Highly recommend Bristol Dental

This was my first visit to the Dentist in many years and Dr. Shalaby made me feel very much at ease. His bedside manner is amazing and the staff is wonderful and helpful and explained all my payment options clearly. Im looking forward to establishing a long term relationship and loose my fear of the dentist.

I have been coming here for several years and they are the best team I have ever gone to! I have needed extensive work done and have other complications and their work is impeccable. They also are very friendly, accommodating and I always love to see everyone as they make you feel like family. Highly recommended… believe me, I have been to many dentists 😉 Thank you Dr. Shalaby and the rest of the staff!!!

I’ve been to Bristol Dental twice now and both times has been great. My (almost) 7 year old son had to get a filling today and the crew went about it amazingly. They were gentle and quick to get things done all while talking to him and telling him how great he was doing. I’m glad his first filling experience wasn’t scary or painful. I was referred to Bristol by my mom who, if SHE likes a dentist, I know I’ll be happy.

Very friendly and helpful staff all a round. Front desk ladies are always smiling and fun to talk to. The work done is always top quality and take care of you very well.

I bring my entire family here for dental care, the Bristol Dental Team and Dr Shalaby is no doubt one of the best in Southern California, and the cost for dental care here is fair and less than most places, be careful where you get your crowns and dental fillings, other dentist use cheap crowns that break and don’t last, I only trust Bristol Dental for my hygiene and dental work.

Took my 3-year old for his first ever exam/cleaning and we had the best experience here. The office staff, dental assistant and Dr. Tamer were all so very friendly. Before using any instruments, the assistant explained what each one did in “fun” terms to my son, which eased any anxiety that bubbled up. They made x-rays, a cleaning and evaluation not only a breeze, but an event to remember: my son received a little goody bag (brush, floss, toy, stickers) before leaving, and for the rest of the day kept saying “let’s go see the dentist!” A big thank you to these guys for handling my 3-year old with such care, and leaving him with a great impression of “going to the dentist.”

First of all, let me say I hate going to the dentist. I have severe TMJ and the prospect of having to open wide for more than a few minutes is excruciating. This group put me at ease in seconds. I’ve had two appointments myself, my son had one, and my husband has had major work done. All of us spent no more than 5 minutes in the waiting room before we were whisked back with either a hygienist or the dentist to get to work, and the work itself was quick and efficient. All of us had pleasant experiences even though there’s nothing pleasant about a deep cleaning or fixing a chipped tooth. I will not dread coming to see this dental office again, and would highly recommend them.

Switched to this dentist and couldn’t be happier. My teeth are great and there is no obnoxious up sales for other products. They are clean, neat and professional. Both dentists are completely realistic about teeth. Claudia always does my cleaning and she is my favorite!  tv while you wait in the exam room is perfect and the music is always nice.

First, the facility.  It’s new, modern, and clean, and there are flat screens everywhere that can be used both for entertainment (movies) and education (x-ray images etc.). Second, the friendly staff.  No one really likes having to go to the dentist, but the staff’s buoyant attitude means I always leave this dentist happier than when I arrived. Third, the billing department.  They do a fine job of trying to maximize my insurance benefits while explaining to me the various options I have for treatment, bringing me hardcopy printouts so I can review each competing treatment scenario’s cost. Fourth, the dentistry.  Hard to explain without getting technical but let’s just say that I grew up with a fastidious dentist for a stepdad so I kind of recognize good work when I see it.  I’ve been going here for years now and have consistently been happy.

I was referred to this Dental office through a friend, thankful she did. Having now the brightest smile and perfect bite 🙂 Dr. Shalaby is very professional,considerate and knowledgeable. During my treatment and Journey  with Invisalign  , I was taken care for 2 years with exceptional care as if its my first visit, kindness and most of all professionalism. Lino,He is the best, whenever i went made my day with encouragement and most reliable follow up and treatment, will miss my visits. Front Staff Joanna and Liz ..made it just a piece of cake for scheduling or rescheduling always with a care and a smile, Thank you ladies. Claudia is awesome and gentle. Thankful for everyone

This dental office has extremely professional and friendly service! Joanna and Diana in the front desk are amazing and so helpful! They really go above and beyond. I would also like to thank Claudia, the hygienist, as well, as Dr. Shalaby for being so kind and informative. I’ve always had a fear of the dentist, but my experiences here have completely changed my perspective. They really express care and comfort in every visit! I highly recommend this dental office to any one who is seeking dental care and services 🙂

I’ve been going to this office for a few years now and have never been disappointed! Dr. Shalaby is amazing. He’s not there as often so I’ve worked with other doctors there and they’ve been really great as well. The staff are all very nice and super helpful. They will review your coverage in detail and never pressure you into anything. Dr Shalaby is very honest and gives you more than one option based on your needs and budget. I highly recommend them!

I’m a new patient and had an emergency dental situation on Sunday Dr. Shalaby got me in the office on Monday and spent over 90 minutes with me to make it right. Throughout the process he was communicative, positive and soothing. Great experience!

Amazing place the staff is super nice the office is very clean and my experience is great every time I’m here. Dr. Shalaby is great I definitely recommend this place !!!

I would first like to begin by giving Dana Point Smiles, Dr. Shelby, and the entire staff the 5 star rating they so much deserve! My dilemma began last week when an infection manifested itself in a tooth and my first thoughts were OMG, not this, and not now! My wife had a root canal a week earlier with DPS (Dana Point Smiles), and were so quick to get her in, so I as well gave a call, and was in the chair practically in less than 24 hours in spite of the chaos of the Covit-19 fiasco! This was great news when mostly all other dental practices were either closed, or there was a 3 week wait. For the record, my HMO dentist never even got back to me so you can imagine the condition I would have been in right now. This incident in my mouth took place a week ago, the extraction was quick, painless, and healing well. I had a crown literally fall out the day before yesterday, in spite of being totally booked for yesterday they were able to get me in at the last moment, and, well, you know, I’m 100% back in the saddle with the repair, and eating like a horse! I can’t thank Dr. Shelby, and their professional and caring staff enough for helping in what I believed to be a pending nightmare, become a dream, and that’s for the two incidents that occurred within 7 days of one another! I’ve tried just about every dentist, and periodontist in San Clemente, and with them came quirks that had me assure them I’d never come back. In the case of DPS, I have found a professional practice who cares more about your comfort, and well being than squeezing you for every penny you have. Thank you DPS. I hope I won’t need to return anytime soon, but most assuredly I say to you, when the occasion ever again arises “and I know it will eventually with my teeth”, I’m coming back to YOU! I highly recommend DPS for ALL of your dental needs, and that’s coming right from the horses’ mouth! Thank you!!!!!

I am so happy that I found a new dentist, my previous dentist died tragically and I didn’t have the time to find a new one, but when a very close friend of mine mentioned Bristol Dental I had to check it out. I was super impressed with the advancement in technology this dental office possesses. I can’t handle the x-rays, but I was in for a nice surprise: no more radiation, just a digital image taken of your entire mouth! So then came the next part, the actual numbing of the mouth, which I must say I fear so much and is the primary reason I hated the dentist, but I just want to say that the dentist is a pro at giving those shots, the injection was painless! I felt nothing. I have visited 5 times now and I am completely satisfied with the friendly customer service, the prompt attention to me when I am there (mind you I go on my lunch break), and high-quality service. I am a super happy customer and I am content to say that I have found the best group of professionals to care for my teeth.

I have been a patient here for over (1) year having (2) implants, (1) root canal and several crowns the quality of work is excellent, the entire staff is very friendly, professional and proficient. I will continue to have my dental requirements perform at Bristol Dental & Orthodontics, I would highly recommend this dental establishment to anyone specially, to those who have had bad experience’s else where.

This is an amazing, welcoming and fun dentist office. The staff is amazing from Liz, Lino and Lesly they are 1# in my book! Not going anywhere else to get any dental work for my kids or myself. Being a new patient and coming in to get only one of my girls to get seen it ended up getting both my girls getting seen and didn’t need to schedule an appointment. My daughter loved her cleaning and the amazing education Lino gave my daughter and I. My priority is always that my children feel comfortable, happy and not nervous and the staff did that and more ! The employees that love their job will ALWAYS DO THEIR JOB AMAZINGLY! Love this dentist office !

Excellent customer service, the office is very clean and all staff is very knowledgeable. Dr. Shalaby is great to work with, he completed my root canal and the entire process went well and calmed my nerves about visiting the dentist! Would recommend this dentist hands down.

Dr. Shalaby and his staff are professional and thorough, and I’m really happy I found them!  I was in and out in 30 minutes (X-rays, cleaning, and polishing)… Granted, I have good teeth that don’t take much work, but I was really impressed!

Dr. Shalaby is the best at Invisalign! I walked in on my first appointment feeling confident i was in professional, experienced, and trustable hands. Less than 1.5 years later my journey is over and my beautiful pearly white, straight teeth and smile has become reality. My confidence has boosted from a girl who never showed her teeth when smiling to excited to show teeth and smile even bigger now!!! Thank you Dr. Shalaby and your whole team. I would recommend them to anyone!

I have been coming here since I 2010. Now my child comes here as well. I absolutely love the people here . They are always happy to see you and greet you . They always have a movie for the kids on . It’s very clean and they treat you with extra care. Lino is AMAZING along with Diana. I absolutely recommend it .

I’m glad I found Bristol dental for my dental care needs! I was one of those people who was terrified of going to the dentist and would put off going for as long as possible. I hadn’t been to the dentist for about 3 years before finding Bristol dental and they made sure my first visit there was as comfortable as possible. The front desk, techs and doctors are amazing and explained everything in detail and answered any questions I had. I’ve been going regularly now, about every 4-5 months for cleanings, have had a bunch of cavities filled in and recently got my wisdom teeth pulled out and it’s really not so scary anymore! Thanks to everyone at Bristol dental for getting me back on track with my dental health!

I have gone there for many years and have always been happy with the service I have been rendered. I love the staff and how they are very kind and personable. They make it so it’s a relaxing experience while I am there. Thank you!

This is a great dental office. Dr. Shalaby is literally the best and most skilled dentist I’ve been to. I had to have multiple fillings and I did not feel a thing. The staff are also very caring and attentive to your needs. I highly recommend this office.

I’m a returning patient to Dr. Shalaby’s practice and I cannot say enough great things about his quality of care, attention to the fine details of dentistry, and overall knowledge of the field. I came in anxious with much treatment to be done and my existing Invisalign progress appt and walking out today feeling happy and in a place of professional expertise and trust to be under his care. Thank you doctor for being who you are and doing what you do every day! I would recommend this office to anyone!

Dr. Shalaby is amazing! He is very honest, tells you exactly what you need and prioritizes the work to be done. Everyone else there is also very nice and helpful. My sisters and boyfriend decided to go give it a try as well and loved it. I must also mention the other two doctors there are great as well. Don’t know their names, they worked with both my sisters and both my sisters mentioned how great they were.
