A Dentist For Smiles: Ortega III Marcos

This office and Dr Ortega are wonderful! I've been with them for over 10yrs now, and they are the best I've had in my 45yrs. I refer anyone asking, and suggest them to you as well.

Great place to get a honest work done on your teeth. Friendly staff no pressure. Massage chairs and heating are the best plus ceiling tvs.

For the past 20 years, I have had a fear.more like a terror.of going to the dentist. But over the course of time, it became imperative I seek dental treatment. I actually tried another dentist several years ago - and never went back - so finding Dr Ortega last year was sort of a miracle for me! From my first encounter over the phone with the wonderful office manager, Julie, where I expressed my fears, she was so assuring and affirming, that I summoned the courage for my first visit which entailed x-rays (and initially even those were difficult for me).

Jump ahead to Tuesday of this week, and I now have a beautiful smile - which included having 10 crowns installed without getting anything more than novocaine! The entire staff is truly wonderful and Dr. Ortega is very thorough in his explanation, s gentle in his care and his work is excellent! If you are looking for a dentist - and staff - who truly care and listen and exceed your expectations, run don't walk to Dr Marcos Ortega!

Absolutely incredible staff, office and very fair prices. I was very surprised after having a lot of bad experiences with dentists over charging for work

Beautiful office with amazing staff! I felt comfortable and taken care of from the moment I stepped into the front door!

There are not enough good things I can say about this practice. I just had moved to San Diego from Orange county. My dentist there was finishing up doing a crown when he went on his honeymoon to Italy leaving me with a temporary that promptly broke. I was in major pain without options. This group brought me in the same afternoon and did a fabulous job with a difficult temporary. Since I'm in town for good I will be making them my go to dentist.

Dr. Ortega and Team have been an answer to our prayers. The whole team, starting of with Ms. Julie are so courteous, attentive and accommodating. Julie helped my fiance through every step of his oral hygiene and dental work. I live in Texas and it was hard to find someone with high standards and excellence, being that I am in the dental field myself, I had high expectations and some reservations whom to trust my fiance's dental care.

I share with you that from day one, Ms. Julie kindly helped me coordinate, treatment plan and communicate all details to our dental journey. If you like honesty, professionalism and exceptional care, this dental practice is for you. They really listen to you and recommend only the best according to your needs and even budget! My future husband and I plan to refer all our San Diego family and friends here for exceptional and one of a kind dental care. Ten stars for Dr. Ortega's practice. :))

Always an excellent experience! Dr. Ortega and his staff are fantastic. Wonderful hygienists. I highly recommend Dr. Ortega.

Marcos does amazing work. Always looks after me like family. It's been a journey and please to get to have his support.

Love the entire staff! Best dentist visits ever and I'm in my 50's! Dr Bowman is awesome!

I have always been worried to go to another dentist as I have only ever been to the one I've been going to since I was a kid but when I moved to San Diego a friend recommended this office. All I can say is that my expectations have been blown away! I only have the most amazing things to say about them. They make me feel like I have been part of their office for years. Highly highly highly recommend this place! They are the best.

I had an excellent first visit with Dr. Ortega and his staff (Julie, Denise and one other wonderful dental hygienist). They went above and beyond by providing an unplanned procedure and made me feel comfortable the whole visit. Happy almost birthday Dr. Ortega. Thank you all!

I feel that I was very lucky to have been referred to Dr. Ortega by my tax preparer. He was very kind and professional. Also, his receptionist, Julie was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. But most of all the work that he performed on my teeth, which was to place permanent crowns on all of my teeth was immaculate!

I'm a first time patient and it was actually a pleasant experience. Everyone is very kind and also gentle on your teeth. Great bedside manner and very detailed.

Went to Dr Ortega today to get another crown put on and it was practically painless! I've been going there for 10 years now and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him! He and his staff are always friendly, caring and honest. His office manager Julie is so patient and she takes the time to explain how much it will cost, what the procedure will entail and makes sure all of my questions are answered. The office is conveniently located in Hillcrest and There is plenty of street parking available if the parking garage is full.

I'd like to Express my thanks to Dr. Ortega and his staff. I have a complicated dental situation that will ultimately be very expensive. While at this time I am not able to afford the ultimate treatment, Dr. Ortega and his staff were very attentive to my financial concerns and helped me select a middle path that will give me some time until I can afford to have more work done. Overall, I was very satisfied with the work as it was done and grateful that Dr. Ortega did his best to make me happy and fulfill my needs. The office is clean and the staff is friendly. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.

Dr. Ortega and his staff are professional, kind, and detail-oriented. I especially appreciate how meticulous the doctor is. I feel safe and taken care of, and trust his care. Isabel is also an awesome hygienist!

I've been coming to this office for 7 years now and I plan to keep coming as long as I live in SD. Dr. Ortega is a genius and changed my whole smile. He's a perfectionist which is what everyone should want. He's thorough with his plans and explains in a way we can understand. My dental hygienists is just as informed and amazing, And Julie at the front desk is so kind and responsive. Review long overdue, but I really just enjoy this office and it needed to be said :

As a dental professional (dental hygienist trained at Marquette University in the 70's!), I can attest to the quality dental care which Dr. Ortega and Staff provide- in calm, safe and clean surroundings. Dr. Ortega has been my dentist for many years and I trust him completely. He has kept my smile looking great! I highly recommend that you do not hesitate to consult with Dr. Ortega before trusting your care to anyone else.

I've been a patient here for over 23 years! Every team member is extremely friendly and welcoming. Dr. Marcos Ortega is the best-you could not ask for a better dentist. Pure professionalism!

I've been a patient while living in San Diego. I moved away, but returned for a visit. While here, Dr Ortega's office was able to see me for a cleaning and then other work I needed done. The staff is amazing and most accommodating. This has always been true of his office so I happy their work ethic remains high in standards. His partner, whom I had to see was also very accommodating and was able to squeeze me in for a final fitting. Thanks to everyone for their hard work.

He is a very good dentist. took me in quick on a Monday since i had really bad tooth/gum pain. very caring and rescued me

He's the best. My teeth have been rebuilt and crowned and cleaned all to great success here for years.

Best dentist I've ever gone to. If there is anything challenging about a procedure, he can handle it. Highly recommend.

Dr. Ortega and Gang are the best. No waiting. No pain. Honest. Super clean. Works with insurance to optimize benefits. So thankful to have a dentist and hygienist I trust completely.

I've been a patient with Dr. Marcos Ortega's dental office for years. I wouldn't go anywhere else in San Diego. Dr. Ortega is honest (I.e he doesn't diagnose treatments that are not necessary) and treats his patients with care. His staff is also excellent. Valeria is my favorite dental hygienist - she is knowledgeable and gentle with cleanings. The office is clean and modern. If you are looking for a dentist is San Diego, I recommend Dr. Marcos Ortega!

I recently acquired new insurance through my job and I knew both I and my son were due for a dental appointment. Nobody really discusses who they use for their dentist so I was left to find one on my own, scary right? Only because you never know who you'll be dealing with or what you'll be getting into. I went to Yelp, and researched dentists in the area, I came across Dr. Ortega's Yelp profile and was very impressed by all of the positive feedback, as well as how modern the office looked. Decided to reach out and I'm happy I did.

My personal experience was identical to the reviews, very comfortable, very professional, extremely thorough. Dr. Ortega and his staff are lovely and Ms. Julie in the front office makes you feel very comfortable If you're deciding on an office to be loyal to, you've found the one.

I've been going to Dr. Ortega for years. My husband sees him for dental work as well. I'll never forget a random person that I met years ago who was working for him at the time. While she wasn't there long (it was a stepping stone on her path to becoming a de tail hygienist), she shared with me that of all the dentists that she'd worked for he was the most ethical and did good work.

Completely random moment but turned out to be a great thing. His staff is all WONDERFUL as well. All of them! Great work. Ethical. Trust worthy. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Been with Dr. Ortega and staff for over 20 years and have known him personally most of my life. He may be a friend, but he's also one hell of a good dentist.

I initially chose Dr Ortega because I wanted the option of sedation. I opted for sedation one time and now don't need anymore, the environment is relaxed and comfortable and I actually look forward to going :) The staff is great and always greet you with a smile :)

I am a new patient of Dr. Bowman, I am so grateful to have found this practice! They saved me when I needed help the most and suggested me to amazing specialist that helped me out. They are very professional and have a really clean area with good location with easy street parking. Isabelle was my hygentist and was very sweet and gentle while doing my cleaning!

She throughly checked on me throughout to ensure I was comfortable all while having a nice movie play above me! Thank you to all the staff for always being so kind and welcoming!

He is a very caring dentist & person who is a perfectionist! Dr. Ortega and his dental team are a class act. I highly recommend his office. I definitely will send all my business colleagues to his practice my experience was amazing! Thank you!

Best dental exam I've ever had. The staff was so friendly. Relaxed atmosphere and very clean offices. The staff put me at ease as soon as I was there. Dr Ortega's exam was through. He took time to explain everything he was doing and why. He answered all my questions.

My experience with Dr. Niloo was amazing! It is rare when you find a doctor that genuinely cares and is passionate about their work and their patients - Dr. Niloo is all of that and more. I came in as a new patient and the staff went above and beyond. Each and every one of them were friendly and welcoming. Per COVID protocol, the office was extremely clean with air purifiers, the staff wearing N95 masks, ect.

They even had me wash my hands prior to filling out new patient forms and gave me a clean pen. Dr. Niloo was very considerate in making sure that I had no allergies and that the treatment options were to my liking. She even offered me chapstick to prevent my lips from chapping that could be caused from the X-ray tools. I could go on and on but what I loved about my experience with Dr. Niloo was that she is thorough, detail-oriented, and passionate. On top of that, she has a very holistic approach. She takes the time to explain the how and the why - how certain things connect. I have found my new dentist!

I felt totally safe with their COVID procedures. The dentist and staff were super friendly and accommodating! Really enjoyed my visit.

I was the kid that wouldn't open her mouth at the dentist. A very rough experience with a stubborn tooth extraction happened when I was 7. From that day on, I didn't care if I wasn't polite or nice. I was afraid. With age, learned to tough it out. Then I found Dr. Marcos Ortega. After 20+ years with Dr. Ortega and staff, I am can honestly say I am calm and relaxed before and after every procedure.

Everyone is extremely gentle and responsive- And if I can't be relaxed on my own, then there is always the magic of sleep dentistry! I have referred many friends and family members. They all rave, too.

Marcos is a great dentist. He is patient and kind, always going the extra mile. He is the dentist to three generations of Wira's. His hygienist, Isabel, is the BEST ever! My grandson, Jack, who hates going to the dentist, loves her because she is so gentle.

I had a fear of dentists until I came here! Dr Ortega is the best! He's kind, caring and gentle! His staff is awesome!

Dr. Ortega and his whole staff were all absolutely amazing. From the time I walked up to the receptionist she made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I suffer from anxiety and not once did I feel anxious. Thank you so much

Can't say enough wonderful things about Dr Ortega and his staff. Best dentist I've ever been to! *state of the art equipment *meticulous, friendly, patient *works with you *never feel rushed Signed, a former fraidy cat

Have you ever had a traumatic dental experience? I have. Wanna move past it like an adult? Welcome the best consistent dental experience I've ever had, hands down. Ever. This place is tricked out for your enjoyment. Validated parking, coffee and tea while you wait in a beautiful, modern facility, text reminders, extra sweet and empathetic staff, TVs mounted to the ceiling and you get a remote to drive, headphones to cancel out scary sounds and concentrate on Colbert, and for a mere $30 extra they'll numb your mouth even for the simplest cleaning. They really want you coming back. And I do. They deserve ALL the award medals.

Great experience at Dr Ortega's! It was my first time visiting and I was really impressed with how nice the entire staff is. I was only scheduled for an exam but my hygienist, Isabelle, stayed late so we could. also do a cleaning. My teeth feel great and I'll definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great experience at the dentist!

I have always disliked going to the dentist. Now I look forward to my dentist visits. At Dr. Ortega's, they make you feel welcome. I love going here. Everyone is always very friendly and patient.
