DO NOT GO TO DR. SNOW for any dental work! you may end up paying for something you don’t need or a job that’s poorly done. Very Rude!

First time going to see Dr. Snow. My last dentist was too far away and I needed one that was a little closer. My wife is terrified of the dentist so I try to go with her whenever we can schedule it right. Usually we have to schedule two appointments back to back and it takes at least 2 hours out of our day to accomplish. I called in and the scheduler Andrea was able to get us in within the same hour using the same hygienist, Noah! We basically switched off, one of us started with Noah while the other saw Dr. Snow. It was a great idea and saved us time!
Noah was awesome. I never really have a problem with going to the dentist but with Noah I didn’t even feel an ounce of pain. My wife was totally fine as well, a first.
Dr. Snow was really cool. He was fast and efficient. He even offered solutions for teeth whitening that are within my price range.
Afterwards, Andrea noticed my insurance covers me for 4 cleanings per year instead of the usual 2, which my last dentist never checked. She scheduled me for the next years worth of cleanings for both of us. I am still dumbfounded on how efficient the whole process was.
I know it’s silly to think about a dentist office as efficient or even to write a lengthy review, however it’s one of those things that you don’t really think about until you’re there.

Everyone was great! Let me just say I am terrified of going to the dentist’s. But my last visit was so quick and easy. I had a cavity and a tooth that needed some bonding so I knew I had to get a numbing shot. Andrea at the the front desk was super sweet when I first arrived assuring me that Dr. Snow is pretty fast when it comes to fillings. Dawn got me prepped up also calming my nerves and being really understanding of my nervousness. Then Dr. Snow came in told me about the procedure that was going to be done. The numbing shot was practically painless and everything was done in about ten minutes time. I will be going back for my cleanings rest assured that I am in good hands at this dental office :).

Had a crown done. Outstanding service. Dawn was excellent in keeping me common and assisting Dr snow. Highly recommended for your dental work.

Going to the dentist has always been a frustrating experience for me. Walking into the office at Pacific Dental I felt calm and welcome right away from the front office staff. Sam, the assistant, was awesome. She did my x-​rays with ease and made sure I was comfortable while waiting for the doctor. Dr. Snow and his staff are wonderful. Noah cleaned my teeth immediately after my exam and it was one of the best experience I have had. Thank you!

I have been going to Dr. Snow for a very long time and I love him. I have always been afraid of dental work and that hasn’t really changed — fortunately I haven’t needed much. The other day however, I needed a crown replacement and when he looked at it realized I also needed a root canal. I was terrified when he told me. He reassured me that it wasn’t going to be bad and talked me through every step. The procedure itself truly ended up not being that bad, the gas and the freezing may have help, but so did Dr. Snow talking me through it. I’m not going to lie the next couple of days were rough and painful but now I feel great. His assistants were very friendly and knowledgeable which also helped to make the experience a great one. Thank you

Like Dr. Snow, seems like a really nice guy. Love that they take my insurance-​met life, love that they have late hours for my husband and early hours for me, love that they have TV’s on every chair so I can pretend I am not at the dentist but mostly just love them. Great people great place. Go check it out.
One word of caution, not their fault but parking can be a bit of a pain during the high traffic times at the gym next door. Plan to walk a bit if you come during the 5pm gym rush.

I have hopped from dentist to dentist over the years not really impressed with any.
Greeted by the Big smile of Sue, ya can’t help but feel welcome and comfortable.
Dr. Snow is a very nice and funny guy. State champion wrestler back in the day.
Brenda is my girl. She is professional and personable and most of all — gentle! I always have a great experience and a bigger smile for weeks after I leave.

Superb! If you go to Dr Snow, know that you’ll receive great dental work from a quality dentist.

Best… Dentist…Ever. Thank you, Dr. Snow! Really grateful for the honest suggestions and great work you do.

Everyone hates the dentist, right? I am no exception, I had found a groupon for Pacific Dental Center for 200.00 for x-​rays, cleaning and bleaching. Great deal, I was having lower tooth pain really bad. I went in this morning and sure enough on the x-​ray I had a bad tooth. So, I needed to have it extracted, he and his staff did a great job making me feel at ease. I got numbed and next thing you know, bada bing, tooth out. No pain at all, sort of… lol
He and his staff are very courteous and professional. Office is nice and clean and Kim at the front desk was great, friendly and answered all my question’s. There was no pressure of any kind to get me too spend more money. After my pulled tooth is healed, I will go in for a cleaning and bleaching. Thank you Dr. Snow and your staff!

There’s a reason Dr Snow and his staff have received such great reviews… they’re all amazing! Such a friendly and welcoming staff for a first-​time patient. I am definitely going back and recommending to others.

Great staff and service. Everyone was very friendly and had great recommendations for preventative care and ongoing care without breaking the bank.
Thank you!

Pacific Dental is the best! Been going here for over 10 years! Dr. Snow is skilled, professional and fun. Anastasia was a great assistant. All the hygienists and admin have been great. They’ve taken care of my dad when he was in town with a dental emergency. They even let me bring my kids in, when my family had a different emergency. I love that they can make the crowns on the spot. My mother in law still goes to a different dentist where they have to take a mold and send away for a crown requiring a second visit. Best dental office I’ve ever been to. I even kept coming here when I moved from Encinitas to Rancho Bernardo. What more can I say?

It’s been a few years since my last dental cleaning, and both Bri and Dr. Snow were wonderful! They made me feel comfortable, treated me with kindness and explained everything thoroughly, without making me feel bad about my lapse in dental care. I recommend the Pacific Dental Center team to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, caring dental care team.

Great dentist and friendly staff! After a decade of going to James Snow, I think it’s safe to give him and his super cool staff a five star review!

Fantastic office visit… Dr. Snow’s office professionalism shows through… I recommend him highly! Thank you Dr. Snow for all your help and assistance!

Was here last week because I needed some work done and a good friend recommended them.
When I got there I filled out all the paperwork (you know the routine). What really set me off was that they asked me if they could get me something while I filled out the paperwork. Deep down I’m thinking Martini but decided against it :-) Either way the girl at the front was extra nice. My procedure and cleaning were super fast and painless (I’m a big baby)
I don’t have insurance (as of yet) and they still said that wouldn’t be a problem. The were nice enough to work with me on payment.
Lastly, the only real drawback was parking. It was probably my fault for missing my morning appointment and getting their latter. Also, I must say that I was way late and kept Jim longer than I should of. Sorry staff, my bad! I will make it up by flossing from now on!

Before coming to PDC, I hadn’t been to the dentist in 10 years (last time my parents forced me to go). Consequently. I needed some major cleaning and fillings. For someone who was terrified of the dentist to begin with. this was something I dreaded to hear!
During that initial visit — Dr. Snow and I set up a plan for the next year to get me back on track. It was very helpful to know upfront what was needed and when it was going to be done. Most importantly, I was given a billing estimate of all the cleanings that we had scheduled as well as some other procedures I was considering (wisdom teeth). My insurance changed halfway through 2013, and there were no hiccups with PDC providing me with an updated billing estimate or billing my new insurance.
Dr. Snow filled my cavities faster than I could blink! He also has a sense of humor which is nice to ease your mind if you are nervous.
Andrea is my hygienist at PDC, and I couldn’t be happier. She is very gentle when cleaning and answers all my (random) questions during visits. She has definitely removed my fear of the dentist’s office. Maybe even inspired me to floss more in 2014?
I also love the fact that PDC offers later office visits (6 – 6:30pm) which don’t require me to leave work. The office is very clean and has updated dental equipment (and TVs).
Hopefully, I won’t need any major work now that I am back on a healthy cleaning routine! Thank you to Dr. Snow and PDC staff!

There are many places I would rather be than in a dentist chair. However, Dr Snow and dental hygenist Diana made my visit very comfortable. Both are very professional and care about their patients. The flat screen TV with ESPN helped a bit too.
