Del Mar Family Dental Center

I just love this guy and the staff they were very friendly and caring I have been going there for about 15 yrs and wouldn’t go anywhere else always is very comforting and listens well. they treat you well and no long waits for any emergency I was very afraid of dentists till I met
dr tayab

I was so terrified when I was about to get my wisdom teeth taken out, and the dentist was very reassuring and friendly. He seemed very knowledgeable and skilled in his work.

This is a late review for about four years ago, but there is one thing about this place that I still remember. And that is that the dentist did not wear gloves while checking and cleaning my teeth. I don’t why, but when I returned again in hopes that maybe that was a glitch or something, he was still not wearing gloves again. So I think that’s pretty sufficient to say about this place.

I chose this location because it’s very close to home. So I thought it would be convenient to travel. I usually don’t really care much about choosing specific doctors. However, this doctor is just not good. He makes lame jokes and he doesn’t care much about his patients.
The first time I go in I was required to have an x-​ray done so I asked Dr. Tayab.
Me: I’m breastfeeding right now. Would the x-​ray be bad for my baby’s milk?
Dr.: x-​ray has nothing to do with your milk. You can feed the whole world I don’t care.
I was already not amused by his comments.
Then I was sent to the examination room. I waited 15 minutes. Dr. Tayab came in look at my teeth for 2 minutes and said «your teeth are fine». I know for a fact that I have holes in 2 of my teeth, but he said my teeth looked great. Then he has his assistant come in to clean my teeth with the power brush and fluoride. I asked his assistant if she is the dental hygienist. She said she doesn’t have any degree or certificate, but he always made her clean clients teeth.
I could have just clean my own teeth with the power toothbrush at home why do I need to go in to have his assistant brush my teeth.

Im going to state that the receptionist is a very nice guy, as well as the dentist. Everything I had done by the dentist has needed to be fixed by another dentist. Will never go back to this dentist.
