Schaffer Dental Excellence

I am so glad I found Schaffer Dental Excellence through an online search after moving to San Diego. Dr. Schaffer is kind, helpful, and gentle. The staff is knowledgable and comforting. I just had my first filling and the whole experience was much more comfortable and painless than I was expecting thanks to Dr. Schaffer and his staff. I also appreciated that they are very upfront with cost and seem to have reasonable pricing. I would highly recommend them!

Just had my first visit, the staff was very friendly, and knowledgeable. The hygienist was informative but not rude, and didn’t hurt me at all (hard
). The dentist is probably one of the best I’ve met. He listened and if some issues I had with some prior dental work. He seemed very confident, but not arrogant like many drs. are.
The office was very clean, and the service was prompt. I would highly recommend! And I HATE going to the dentist.

I love getting cleanings here… A nice hour I could zone out and watch a movie. I love how this practice has the latest and greatest technology. It’s nice knowing Dr. Schaffer was in the military and served our country. Who knew an American hero was my dentist. Excellent and caring staff. I will refer everyone I know! Very happy here.

Their cleaning appointments only lasts 30 mins. You know you’re not getting a good cleaning in that short amount of time. For a little more, you can go to a (top) periodontist who will clean your teeth, do all the measuring of pockets and health checks for a full hour.
I don’t think this office has the best interest of dental health if they are skimming on this basic critical step.

Recently switched my entire family over the Dr. Schaffer. He and his staff were incredibly professional, caring and meticulous with their work. Great experience. Cannot recommend Dr. Schaffer enough.

Best experience I have ever had with a dental office. Everyone here is very friendly and Dr. Schaffer is honest and upfront about everything. After nightmare experiences with other dental offices, I can finally say we’ve found our new dentist! I highly recommend this place!

Best dentist office I have ever been to! From the billing to the hygienists, everyone is so nice and helpful. Had some insurance issues and the office manager could not have been more patient and thorough. She made numerous calls on my behalf and never once made me feel like I was annoying or it was burden to do so. They are extremely accommodating with appointments and efficient with both phone & email reminders. Dr. Schaffer is very friendly and knowledgeable. He takes his time to discuss all of your options and never seems rushed. The office is bright, clean and modern. Truly a great experience with Schaffer Dental! I was so excited to have FINALLY found a great dental office in San Diego. The location is perfect too — right off the highway next to the Del Mar Highlands Shopping Center. Trust me, I have high standards and you cannot go wrong with this office!

I hadn’t been to the dentist in over 3 years (I know, gross!) but this office made me almost excited to go back! Everything from the friendly phone call to make my appointment, to the understanding phone call when I was running 10 minutes late, to the wonderful people that work in the office, I would say this was the best dentist experience I’ve ever had. I couldn’t recommend this any higher!

All around great dental office!
I just switched to Dr. Schaffer and could not be happier. Dr. Schaffer is very knowledgeable and the staff is wonderful. The office is very nice and state of the art. Love the option to watch TV/​movies while getting work done. They are also very helpful when it comes to working with your insurance and with scheduling appointments.
I highly recommend Dr. Schaffer and his staff!
