I enjoy coming here. Everyone is kind, friendly and professional at this location. Dr. Duanes is very gentle and seems to really care for his patients all while doing a thorough cleaning or check-up. I have a low tolerance for pain or for dentists that rush dental work. Since I started going here, he has always been patient and taken his time to fully examine and care for my teeth, allowing me to feel at ease. I also never end up being there too long. He is my favorite dentist.

Really good dental office, great dentist, does a very good job. Email reminders about your appointment is great and post dental work instructions is very good as well. Highly recommend.

Most disorganized dentist office I've been too constantly rescheduling me. Made me leave and come back in the middle of a procedure to take their stupid lunch while I was still drugged up. Clearly their lunch is more important than their job. I won't be going to this dentist again. VERY DISORGANIZED.

I have been going to Dr Duenas for twenty years. They have the process worked out to make the whole process smooth and easy for the semi annual cleaning. Appointment reminders a few days before, friendly staff, and only a short wait, if any when you get to the office. The husband and wife dentist team do all the work including the cleaning, so it is high quality. Top notch outfit.

DO NOT USE THIS DENTISTS OFFICE. This dentist gave me an after-insurance quote for a crown so I had the work done based on that amount because it fit into my budget. They later sent me a bill stating insurance didn't cover it. I've never seen that before. Is this the only dentist's office that doesn't know how to tell ahead of time if a simple crown is covered or not? I held off paying because I didn't have the nearly $500 they billed me for and they said they would call my insurance to try to straighten it out.

Nothing happened and they later sent it to collections. Now it's a ding on my credit report and I was laid off from my job due to COVID so I'm unemployed and really can't afford to pay it. I guess I am just screwed. Thanks Mira Costa Dental!

Always a great experience with Dr Duenes and staff. My wife will be getting her teeth cleaned next week also. All necessary precautions are being taken for COVID-19.
