Like most I do NOT like seeing the dentist EVER! My husbands friend recommend this office as we have had issues finding someone we felt comfortable with! My first appointment on 3/5/20 was for X-rays and cleaning AND I didn’t hate it!! I already knew I needed a crown replaced and of course that came up, so we made that appointment for 3/11. Came back on 3/11 for a temporary crown and AGAIN I didn’t hate it!! Honestly….. it was painless as they make sure you are comfortable at all times!! I must say both visits were pleasantly nice and easy. I was in and out in 1.5 hours, didn’t have to wait FOREVER like I have in the past. They seem to be very nicely organized, not super pushy on things you need. Which of course just means it gets super expensive! Yes, I had to pay for things I needed done but I did NOT get a laundry list of things I needed to do ASAP, which would just cost me thousands and thousands of dollars! This office is AMAZING from the second you walk in the door! I can honestly say…. I am no longer scared to go to the dentist! I know that sounds crazy but I promise you won’t be disappointed!! You MUST try this Dentist!!!

Dr Taylor was amazing! my first (but not last) visit he fixed my loose crown. Actually explained everything! I made another appointment to start my dental care entirely with him! It’s not often that a dentist will put you at ease, have up to dare equipment AND take the time to explain the process! And the staff is wonderful!

Dr Taylor & his Office Manager, Janet, SAVED the day and many days since! Out of the blue, my veneer popped-off. Normally I wouldn’t have been in such a panic but it was my FRONT tooth! There was NO way I could be seen anywhere with it missing!! Not having any experience with this, I first went to the dentist I was just assigned to via my Dental HMO thinking it would be an easy fix. After waiting for hours, and then spending ANOTHER hour in the chair, that dentist got it on and I rushed to work for what was left of the day. Not even 10 hours later, it popped off again!! I called that dentist and he told me there was nothing else that could be done but a crown, which by the way insurance barely covers. I was horrified and started eyeing up the super glue! Remembering Taylor’s great office nearby when I had the insurance to go there, I reached out at around 7:30am the nest morning, assuming I would be leaving a message. A person picked-up the phone, Janet! She was awesome and talked me from the ledge. She called Dr Taylor and he came right in to meet me. After assessing the situation and assuring me he’d do his best, he gave it another whirl. ONE month later, still good to go!! He was amazing – skilled, kind, experienced, attentive!! Janet was great!! Darn insurance!! Would go there in a heartbeat if I could but telling everyone I know that they should! Next time enrollment period comes around, I would mold my selection based on getting Dr Taylor as my dentist. THANKS DR T!!

TWO MONTHS LATER…. This is a follow up review to my glowing remarks a couple months back. At that time, Dr. T had made note that I did have some cracks in a tooth (due to those lovely old school silver fillings). What struck me then was the almost LACK of a hard sell or gloom n’ doom scenario that “if you don’t do this tomorrow it’s going to be a disaster!”. To the contrary, he was very laid back and said something to the affect of “from my experience (of which he has 25+ years) it looks like ‘this’ will happen… not a matter of if, but when.” And so went a very low key discussion saying “it’s up to you but I’m not going to push you in one direction or another”. And yes… this past weekend, while chomping popcorn, part of my tooth cracked off. And it was the one (there are two actually that need attention) that he said would happen first. Thankfully nothing close to the nerve. SO….. I went in yesterday and began the crown procedure. If there was a way to make a drill sound like Pearl Jam, I’d be thrilled… other than the never joyous sound of the procedure – it was FAR better than I had expected. He’s thorough, his assistant does a great job on her end, and by the end I was far less stressed than I thought I’d be. 24 hours later and I have minimal soreness in the area and the temp crown feels fine. I go back in a couple weeks to get the actual crown on – but the most unpleasant part is done and suffice to say it was much better than expected. ONCE AGAIN – DO I RECOMMEND Dr. T and his staff? ABSOLUTELY! Do I feel like I got the best work done? ABSOLUTELY! Rather than chasing around $59 deals and questionable practices that hard sell the upgrade – I truly believe I received the best care, at a fair price, from good people with amazing experience that I can trust. Done and done!

Dr Taylor and his staff are absolutely wonderful I cannot find the words to describe their kindness in helping my husband and myself as we needed major work done and had no insurance they are very accommodating and attentive to our needs I’m terrified of going to have my teeth worked on just hearing the drill makes me severely anxious yet they made me feel very calm and made sure we were comfortable before they started any work Dr Taylor and his staff are absolute angels thank you you really have no idea what you have done for us both. If your reading this and need a great dentist please go see them they are worth the hr drive from San Diego. God bless you Dr Taylor and staff especially Janet and Dory

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Taylor’s for 5 years now. Recently, I came on some hard times & lost my job (& insurance). I was completely touched when I received a call to come in for a cleaning, “no charge”. Dr. Taylor is very compassionate and genuinely cares about his patients! He has a great team too! Santosh has been my hygienist for the past 10 years. She’s extremely knowledgeable and keeps my dental health in check. She’s very gentle too, which makes the experience positive. And lastly, Janet in the front office always greets you with a smile and is super friendly. She’s a great resource when it comes to insurance too. I highly recommend this fantastic team for any dental care! Sincerely, a grateful and appreciative patient.

Dr. Taylor and his staff are incredible. I am 35 years old and this is the most positive and educational dental experience I have ever had. They have invested in the technology that allows them to use most effectively educate and communicate to their patients on their dental situation. This helps them diagnose and it helps the patient understand clearly. Dr. Taylor truly took time with me to make sure I am comfortable with him and his staff. I truly recommend Dr. Taylor to adults and families.

I was not happy with the previous dentist I tried in Ladera. When my tooth cracked during the pandemic they (Dr. Taylor) were the first office to call me (I had called a couple) and well we determined it was an emergency and a few days later he shaved down my jagged tooth and we to wait for when they could reopen to continue. He was concerned about my pain and making sure that I was happy with the work. Once they were able re-open they called me. I just have to say he is friendly, kind and easy to talk to and joke with. He did an amazing job with my crown. His staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I have referred my family (as they too are not happy with our former dentist). I highly recommend Dr. Taylor!!

Dr. Taylor & his staff are super friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. For my first visit, they took some x-rays, pictures of my old metal fillings, and did a cleaning & exam. Dr. Taylor could’ve just replaced the metal fillings but he gave me an honest opinion – the fillings are still ok for now & if I want to replace it, they could do it, but it’s not necessary at this point. They are going to monitor it until it’s necessary to replace. I appreciate his honesty because I’ve had a dentist in the past who replaced all my fillings on one side without even letting me know. I thought they were just replacing 1 or 2, but when I went home to look, it was all replaced! I never went back to that office. Anyway, I’m so glad I went to Dr. Taylor & would definitely recommend him to everyone I know!

This is the best dentist I’ve ever been to. I’m super nervous about going to the dentist, but Dr. Taylor and his entire staff were friendly, patient, and helpful. They were super flexible on scheduling, extremely friendly and genuine, and most importantly he did excellent dental work on me that saved me from having to pay a specialist thousands of dollars. Their office is basically a collection of really nice human beings that also happen to be world-class dental professionals. Great experience.

I truly struggled to find a good dentist in the Laguna area until I came across Dr. Taylor. Dr. Taylor, along with his staff, are phenominal. The dental office is immaculate, all communications and transactions were so smooth, and the quality and efficiency of his work is above par. I would very strongly recommend his practice.

If you want to read and extremely long-winded version of this review go to Yelp and you will get more details than you possibly need. BOTTOM LINE – I highly recommend Dr. Taylor and his staff! I’ve done the initial exams, cleaning, recommendations for crown replacement which turned out to be correct and yes I had to have a crown replaced. The entire experience from beginning to end has been fantastic. The hygienist Santosh is amazing… One of the best I’ve ever had in my entire life. Diana who deals with all of the x-rays and assistance to Dr. Taylor is low stress and makes it all easy. Janet is up front and most likely the one that will greet you when you walk into their beautiful office (Great decor, very good music, and massaging chairs!) She is fantastic at quickly weaving you through the insurance process to make sure you’re covered and all is good. She also has the registered dental assistant skills so she understands all of the process from beginning to end. Last but certainly not least is Dr. Taylor himself. No major upsell whatsoever on what I needed to have done. His recommendations turned out to be, unfortunately, correct, when I cracked my tooth not long after while eating popcorn of all things. The process of getting a crown replaced with him was about as easy as I could’ve ever hoped for. Don’t spend time chasing around $59 deals to get something cheap and then move on somewhere else. Just like you need a great mechanic, Dr., and someone to cut your hair… You need an amazing dentist that is reliable. This is the place… This is the staff! And lots of extra bonus points that they’re just all very good people in general.

I just got off the phone making an appt to see Dr. Taylor tomorrow and realized I’d never yelp’d him. I started going to this office back when the principal Dr there was Todd Engle. He was a good guy. He turned his office over to Dr Taylor a couple years ago and I’ve been going there ever since. Its a great office. New and has all the high tech machines and equipment. The staff is always VERY pleasant and friendly. Dr Taylor is VERY cordial and VERY friendly. I get a very good impression from him. He’s definitely NOT a upsell kind of dentist. I’ll look forward to my appt tomorrow as I haven’t seen him in a bit and going there is almost like going to see an old friend.

He is a magnificent dentist. WE as a family are very happy to have him as a dentist. My husband had hearing problems for many years and he was cured. My two kids had 4 cavities each came for a second opinion and the Dentist said they did not have cavities. My old dentist said I had 3 cavities and Dr taylor said I did not. He is very flexible with money. We are lucky to have him. The place is spot less clean and has amazing personal.
