Dr. Maurer has been my son's dentist since he first started going as a little guy. He's now 10 already! Dr. Maurer is always so down to earth and straight forward with us. Even after losing my insurance, I cannot imagine going anywhere else. I love their office, staff and the care my son receives.

I do not have dental insurance for my child. This was my son's first dentist visit at age 4. They were good at getting him to like the dentist and I like how I was able to watch and sit near my son to experience his first dentist visit. Round estimate for cleaning i think included floss and I believe xrays and exam=$100 My second visit for exam and xrays =$70

I first brought my oldest daughter here in 2005 when she was just three years old. I now have three and we've always been pleased with the extensive care they've received. It doesn't bother me that the parent doesn't go back there with them. I think this helps them learn a little independence.

Great practice! They are always so nice and good with the kids. My family has been going there for as long as I can remember and they have treated us very well.

We love this team of doctors and their staff, so much so that it's multi-generational now. As a kid, I didn't dread going to the dentist anymore once we switched to this office. Now my kids go to Dr. Olen & Dr. Mauer. They anticipate their appointments with excitement and are happy campers. Quite a magical equation!

My kids have been coming to Dr. Olen & Dr. Maurer for many many years. Everyone from the moment you walk in the door is warm, inviting and helpful. Both Dr. Olen & Maurer are knowledgeable, timely and best of all take amazing care of their patients! They are well worth the 120+ miles I drive round trip so my kids can see them!

My first visit to Dr. Olen's office was in 1984 and I have the picture to prove it! As a child, I was very fearful of dental work, but Dr. Olen's staff always work hard to make me as comfortable as possible. When I had children of my own, there was no doubt I would take them to my favorite childhood dentist. Even when we lived in Hawai'i and Los Angeles, my husband and I would plan dental appointments around holiday trips to San Diego because the office is JUST that good. 33 years and seven children later, we are all still devoted to Dr. Olen and his incredible staff!

They are so kind, gentle, and fun. Some of the employees have been there since my own childhood and that says a lot about the culture they've created there. We can't say enough good about Dr. Olen and his wonderful office!

Great experience every visit. The office staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. We are always seen on time for every appointment and both Dr Olen and Maurer are excellent with checkups and explaining what to expect for future teeth growth and development. We have been coming here for the past 8 years and have always had a positive experience.

Dr Olen was mine and my siblings dentist when I was a child. I always looked forward to going to the dentist. Now as a mom I now enjoy seeing my children have the same excitement when they get to go to the dentist as well. It's always a positive experience for them. Dr Olen and his staff are always patient and caring. The kids enjoy playing games while they wait too. I wouldn't trust anyone else to work on my children's teeth other than him and his staff.
