Dr. Minger is a great dentist. I had 3 bad cavities in difficult to reach areas. She was very gentle and I felt very little pain during the procedure. During my first checkup, I was impressed by her careful exam and how much time she took to explain the issues with my teeth. Working at UC San Diego, it's also really convenient to just walk to her office. Her staff are also very friendly and efficient.  Read Less

If Dr. Minger ever responds to my e-mail, I will update this but until then: In my experience, this place is like an old apple. It looks nice on the outside, but is rotten on the inside.  Everyone there seems very friendly and the setup is very nice -- but then there's LINDA.  Wow - a real piece of work.  She is the bad apple in this bunch.  She is rude, pushy and lacks any aspect of customer service.  I'm sure we all have stories of that pushy dentist office that ripped us off by convincing us that we needed the most expensive service -- well, that's Linda.  She refuses to let you voice what you want and instead pushes what will make the company the most money.  She even had the audacity to tell me I was wrong regarding how long onlays have been used. She swears they have been used for over 30 years by every major dentist.  Incorrect.  Very few dentists use them and they have only been around since the 90's. I told her that I would get a second opinion and she didn't seem to care.  I don't know if she works off of commission or what, but she caused me to go elsewhere.  If she ever leaves the company, I would consider coming back because everyone else is nice but I refuse to be pushed around by a used car salesman type approach.  Read Less

I have been going to Seaside Dental for 5 years and have been very pleased. Linda at the front desk is always very friendly and helpful. Valerie Hike, the hygienist, is very sweet and gentle. The office always makes sure you're comfortable for your visit, offering a heated neck pillow, blanket, and headphones to watch TV. Dr. Minger is wonderful and I recommend her to everyone looking for a dentist. Two of my friends have started going to Seaside Dental per my referral and both have been very pleased with their experience.  Read Less
