Testimonials

“I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Howard and his entire team. He has taken care of me and my whole family for decades, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else. His restorations always look amazing and incredibly natural.

Today I had a dental emergency where half of my tooth chipped off, and after calling the office they were able to take care of it same-day in a very efficient and seamless way. That level of care and responsiveness is rare.

Every single visit I’m treated like a VIP. Christine at the front desk is wonderful, so kind and funny, and the whole staff is friendly, welcoming, and professional. Truly an outstanding dental office that feels more like family than a business. Highly recommend!”

“I couldn’t be happier with Dr Howard and his team. I came from a traumatic experience and I feel so st ease there. He does amazing work, talks you through it and makes sure you’re comfortable. The front desk staff is wonderful, the dental hygienist and the Dr.’s assistant are also amazing. I highly recommend.”

“Dr. Howard stands out as a stellar dentist. He continually pursues the latest knowledge and technology. His vast and varied experience enables him to provide the individualized care called for in each unique situation. His work stands up to the tests both of time and of beauty. His compassionate, empathetic respectful manner support his patients throughout the entire process.

Dr.Howard led me through an extensive process of much-needed dental reconstruction which lasted about a year. I have been delightedly enjoying my "new" teeth for a couple of years now.

Dr. Howard's meticulous care and excellent work made the time-consuming process as pleasant and painless as possible.

I can not recommend Dr. Howard and his work highly enough.

Just go in for a consultation and hear his ideas for helping you out!”

“This entire dental enterprise is absolutely top notch! Dr. Howard has been my dentist for over twenty years. My wife, who was dreadfully afraid of dental visits, was very comfortable with Dr. Howard's chair-side manner and expertise. He is exceedingly skilled in all the areas of dentistry we have required. These include fillings, crowns, chipped tooth repair, extractions and several implants. All procedures are completed with minimal or no discomfort. Aftercare is always provided including a check-in phone call later that evening. His well-appointed office and equipment are state-of-the-art. The supporting staff includes: Nadia, the uber-skilled dental assistant, Bliss, the consummate hygienist, and Debra, the ever cheerful and very professional office manager. I seldom give rave reviews for any product or service but a 5-star rating here is very much deserved!”

“Dr. Howard and team provide an extraordinary level of care. His sincerity in caring for patients is genuine. The progressive technical skills he possesses are next level. My experience included detailed comprehensive attention. Dr. Howard provided expert care along with a reassuring patient relationship. His assistant Nadia is equally skilled in required procedures. Nadia provides a caring environment which gives patients confidence during procedures. I highly recommend Dr. Howard and team to any patient, especially to those who may be tentative about dental care. Dr. Howard and team are the answer.”

“Needed an emergency fix for my son who fell and chipped his tooth. Called a few dentists, Dr Howard was the only dentist that answered the emergency line. Great communication through the process.

I will continue to recommend him to everyone.

Thank you Dr Howard and your staff for your great care in my family's crisis.”

“Dr. Howard is the greatest dentist I have ever been to. All 3 generations of the family see him and he is loved by everybody. I will get my teeth pulled before he quits so I don‘t need to see another dentist ever again!”

Debbie C.

“I've been with Dr Howard since 2011 (14 years) and he has always taken a personal interest in my dental health. For instance, after a particularly difficult root canal, he called me at home, in the evening to check on me and offer help if needed. Who does that anymore? I've recommended Dr Howard (freely and of my on initiative) to all my friends, co-workers and family.”

Carlo H.

“Dr. Howard is an incredibly talented and knowledgeable dentist -- but he is more than a dentist. He's an artist. He changed my ugly smile to my best feature. It was one of the smartest things I've ever done for myself. Do it for yourself -- you will be happy you did.”

“Dr. Howard is awesome! My husband and I have been going to him for over 5 years now! He does fantastic work, and is meticulous.

Linda E.

“Wonderful experience! Dr. Howard is a great dentist and I always feel comfortable in his chair. He is always happy to answer any questions you may have. Also, if you're ever nervous about shots, here you don't have to be. I have a huge fear of needles, but with Dr. Howard's great technique I didn't feel a thing! Highly recommend!”

“Dr. Howard Nelson has been my family dentist for over 10 years and we are very happy to have had him to take care of all of our dental concerns. You couldn't meet a nicer person who is very sensitive and tuned-in to patient needs and goes above and beyond any call of duty.”

Irene M.

“Nelson Howard is, by far, the best dentist I've ever had. Skilled, focused, intelligent and, above all, gentle. When I first came to him, a previous dentist in the Rancho Bernardo area had left me with an enormous bruise on my cheek after struggling to numb my very sensitive teeth enough to put a crown on. Dr. Howard is much better at placing the anesthetic and is kind and patient with pain-shy patients like me. He does beautiful crowns and fills, and cares about doing the work well--in fact, I'd say he's almost a perfectionist. At the same time, he's fair about pricing and never pushes unnecessary work. He provides clear information and guidance, but is respectful about letting me make decisions about my care and budget.”

Rebecca C.

“From 1to 10 Dr Howard and his Staff are definitely a 10.

Thanks
