    • "I am so glad our insurance changed so we could come back to you guys. Our insurance was making us go to someone across the street and he was awful! We had already appreciated how good you guys are before we were forced to change for awhile but after having no luck finding someone else who even compares, we are that much more appreciative of the amazing service you guys give. Thank you!"

    • "amazing team!! so warm and friendly! They had a genuine concern for my dental health and what my goals were!"

    • "The staff in this office is always excellent. They always make coming to the dentist a pleasant experience. "

    • "The experience is always great. Everyone on staff is happy and upbeat, Dr Brian or Dr Jim take the time to explain different treatment options and why alsong with risks/benefits of timing, no insurance nightmares and I love the availability of 7 or 7:30am appointments! I'd rather start off the day with the treatment versus having to squeeze in during the work day. "

    • "Excellent cleaning. The pressure and touch was excellent and a warm, caring person."

    • "As good an experience as a dentist ever gets, Dr. Jim is in the top two percent of his class, and he IS classy, digs and all."

    • "Had a great experience...very pleased with everyone; very friendly & knowledgable. Would definitely recommend to others."

    • "I always have a great experience here! The Doctors and Staff are awesome! "

    • "It was a very clean and nice office. "

    • "Love this place. Dr. Jim is the best!!! His staff is amazing and professional."

    • "I always experience exceptional service from Dr. Tasto and his assistants. I am extremely particular about who cares for my teeth and I have never been happier with a dentist! My teeth are whiter, prettier and healthier than they ever have been! I'm a huge fan!!"

    • "Fantastic staff and another great experience! I've been recommending to all my friends"

    • "I have had excellent service. The staff and Dr. Jim Tasto were very thorough in analyzing my troubled tooth. They approached it conservatively and referred me to periodontist Dr. Hunt. I appreciated the detail that their imaging supplied. They were also very vigilant in making sure I was comfortable through scaling and deep cleaning. I will definitely refer Dr. Tasto to my friends."

    • "Best dentists ever"

    • "Excellent service and the staff is excellent. I recently switched dentists from Dr. Katnick in Clairemont over to Torrey Hills Dental, and I definitely made the right choice. No disrespect to Dr. Awbrey in Los Angeles, who is a fine dentist in his own right, but Dr. Tasto at Torrey Hills Dental is the best dentist I've ever had."

    • "Dr Tasto is great. I have been seeing him for years and he takes great care of my teeth. I also fixed my Mom up when she cracked her front tooth in half while visiting. Highly recommended."

    • "Great as always. Vivian (hope I didn't misspell her name) does a great job with teeth cleaning."

    • "Office visits are always pleasent and friendly like family. They care with good service."

    • "My family and I always have the best experience we could possibly have each and every time we have an appointment here. They always do a lot of educating and everyone is exceedingly nice."

    • "I don't love going to the dentist, but I have to go and these guys and gals really do a great job."

    • "What can I say, I love my dentist and his wonderful staff. Although it is never really fun to have your teeth cleaned or get an old filling replaced or have a crown made, they make it as painless and enjoyable as possible."

    • "I had a great experience at my visit."

    • "Dr. Brian is the best. The staff is great and the facility is nice as well. They have the state of the art equipment. Dr Brian cares about his patients. I have twins and have been bringing them with me to see him since they were babies. My teeth have been in good hands for the last 6 years. Thanks guys!!!"

    • "Brian is more than my dentist and I know he values each one of his patients with the same concern. Such a complete dichotomy from the general misconception of dentists! As gentle as if he was treating himself I suppose."

    • "No Waiting here the staff is ready to go so you are in and out fast.
      thanks!

    • "All my visits have been absolutely wonderful! They are very caring and I always leave feeling like I spent my time there well. I had some silver fillings replaced due to my teeth cracking around the fillings and Dr. Tasto did an awesome job! My cleanings have always been perfect. Thank you all for being so wonderful!"

    • "AMAZING as usual. You guys are incredible! Not just because you are so friendly, but you are all soo good at what you do. Every time I go in, you cover all the bases and I get educated so thoroughly. Thank you all! "

    • "Very pleasant"

    • "Great! The doctor is funny and the staff was so nice. My seven year old daughter actually had three cavities filled and fell asleep during the procedure. The doctor was very gentle and took the time to explain everything he was doing."

    • "Awesome. I had come in for my son's fittings for braces and mentioned that I had broken a filling... Dr. Jim took a look, said I needed a crown and I got an appointment for the following week. i came in for the appointment and the best part was that he made a crown for me right in the office. I was in and out within 2h."

    • "Very good"

    • "Great! Always prompt and friendly. "

    • "Excellent. Brian Tasto is an excellent dentist with an even better "chairside" manner. The hygienists are top-notch, careful, and very personable. I would recommend the brothers Tasto to anyone."

    • "Superb. From my first time at the office, the staff and doctors were incredibly friendly and helpful. I've never had a health care provider who took it upon themselves to help deal with the insurance companies. Carrie at the front desk was always offering amazing help and service. Also, Dr. Tasto really showed that he cared about the outcome of my experience. This office treats you like a real person and they help enormously in all aspects of receiving care. Thank you all!"

    • "Dr. Jim Tasto is the best!! I've been to a lot of dentists and am extremely picky. There is nobody better than Dr. Tasto. All his people, equipment, and services are top notch!"

    • Review icon

      "I came to Dr. Brian Tasto for a second opinion when quoted an enormous amount of $ for work that was required. It turned out that the health of my teeth allowed for less extreme treatment which meant I'd save a ton of money and time in the chair. We tackled that shorter, less extreme list over a year's time. Since, I've opted to go in every four months instead of six for cleanings so we can monitor the work. It's been a few years now and my teeth are doing great. Thanks Dr. Tasto!"

Dr Jim has the education, experience and compassion one would want in a medical provider. You can tell he loves his job and loves helping people. His staff shows the same traits as Dr Jim - knowledgeable, experienced and compassionate and also passion for their work. His office and medical equipment is state of the art. The atmosphere is all about making the patient feel comfortable.

      "My experience went as good as it can go when you are getting a crown and filling! Dr. Tasto does a great job of telling you what he is doing so you knwo what to expect. Everything was as pain free and comfortable as it could be. They took their time and did a great job. I am very happy with this office and staff."
