I have been a patient with Dr Hagstrom for over 25 years and have nothing but praise for him and his office staff. I've always been taken well care of and don't feel like a number when I go there, they treat me like a person and they know my name. Also Dr. Hagstrom utilizes the latest in dental technology, and I'm always amazed with all the computers and 3-D models he uses to create the best dental service around. If you are looking for a great dentist try this gem of an office tucked away in La Mesa.

Outstanding dental care! The staff are very professional, kind and thorough. I am so grateful for Dr. Hagstrom and his amazing crew. My only regret is not finding A Shop For Smiles sooner. Better now than never!

My visit was not what I expected. Every person I encountered was so professional. This was my initial visit. Filling out the required health paperwork was easy and done online so I didn't have to get there early. I really liked that alot. I was surprised at the depth of photos and x-rays though. It really does make alot of sence because before Dr Haggstrom looked into my mouth.

He had identified my issues, even before I could fully explain them myself. Wow! I Never had that happen before. Anyway about it I needed some serious help and I believe I will get it here. In fact I know I will because now I have a plan. Trust is earned! My first vist was a nice start!

This dental office is perfect! From the very first time I walked into their beach-themed office I felt a huge difference between other dental offices/businesses and this one. The staff is more than courteous and helpful. One is made to feel a part of a really great group of friends.friends who also know what they are doing professionally. Additionally, they are easy to talk with and are very informative. Dr. Hagstrom is a "good guy".

He has set his office and business up to be welcoming, comfortable (for those who are scared of dentists), replete with all the updated equipment and services necessary to be successful.example: they make your crown in the office that day! Dr. Hagstrom uses multiple updated techniques and equipment to ensure his patients are cared for and want to return. From my first day to my last day I walked out of A Shop For Smiles with a huge smile and sense of comfortable satisfaction.

Being someone that has a fear of the dentist, I was pleasantly surprised at the friendliness and service I received and continue to receive here. The staff is amazing! If you are on the fence about making an appointment, hesitate no more and make that call. You won't regret it!
