Why People Love San Marcos Dental and Braces
UPDATE: Yes indeed, you can usually tell when people are genuine and that doesn't get shut off after you're greeted when you first walk into a place. You can usually tell that I'm required kind of fake is greeting when you walk into a place. Doesn't mean anything less just that they're doing their job. However as expected so attentive to me and my needs. Listen to what I had to say, I wasn't treated as if this was the first time they were seeing me and rushing me off because they had somebody else waiting, even if that was the case. They were on time with everything yet I give leeway with that because one person can back up everybody else and it wouldn't be their fault so I'm usually patient with that kind of stuff. Everything else plus that went so well that if that ever happened to me at this Clinic I wouldn't mind sitting there until they were able to catch up from somebody else being late. My sense is that they would still take that person if they aren't too late and try to make up the time somehow yet still give everybody the attention they deserve. We all sometimes forget things that can be prevented and things that just cannot. Understanding in leeway for places that give out this type of genuine attention is rare these days from any company. I see it coming back more and more, and that's why I always want to take the time to thank them and appreciate them as I'm sure they deal with crappy people here and there all the time yet they still pull themselves out of that encounter and give people as I know that they would the best attention. If there's any typos pre-opening I'm too tired to go back and proofread but I wanted to say an update and using Voice to Text blah blah blah hope this helps for anyone that's lookin.
One of the things I appreciate most is that the office still has a genuinely family-owned feel. I’ve been to dental offices where you feel like you’re part of an assembly line—get you in, get you out, move on to the next person. This is not that kind of practice. They’ve consistently been on time for my appointments and are very efficient, but never at the expense of quality or making you feel rushed. I recently had one of the best dental cleanings I’ve had in a long time.
Dr. Ho is delightful—warm, personable, and incredibly skilled. He’s also a bit of a magician with the trickier stuff, especially needles, which I very much appreciate!
I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a new dentist. Whether you just need a place for the short term or you’re hoping to find a dental office you can stick with for years, this is the kind of place you find and decide to stay.
