I came to Dr. Mark Anthony Bartell’s office for 5 extractions, my appointment was at 12pm… At around 10 after 12, Dr. Bartell came up to reception and told me that he was very sorry but was stuck in the middle of another surgery and that he would see me ASAP. What could I do! It was my first time at his office, and he was highly recommended by a good friend, even still I did feel a little…

uneasy, but I now understand things aren’t like work clock. During the wait, one of his assistants handed me a pain pill and some water. It was almost an hour when I got in, he apologized many times even though he didn’t have to. He reviewed my condition, and unfortunately the estimate of extraction with bone grafting for 5 teeth was over $1500 dollars and just too much on my pension. He said don’t worry about it, asks to take out blood from my arm, I don’t remember exactly what it was for, something about separating the blood and the plasma and that the results would be great, less pain and faster healing… Remarkable work took his time numbing me up, the blood withdrawal was quick and great team work with a short woman doctor that was with him. I was out of there in 45 minutes. He charged me $500 total. I was expecting pain and lots of swelling the next day, but I was surprised by almost no discomfort, I guess he wasn’t lying. He gets 4 stars only because my wife was yelling me all night for getting home late. Thank you and will be back to see what I do where I am missing my teeth
First time at his office, referred by my boss even though I had my own dentist in La Jolla. First, I was not impressed with the office, it was nice and clean but not that ultra-modern look with flat screens and such. He gave me a quote on 8 implants with fixed bridges which unfortunately I declined, and I suggested a denture screwed in by 4 implants. He replied, he wouldn’t do that even if I…

paid him the quote for the 8 implants. Well that I didn’t like so I went back to the luxurious dental office in La Jolla to get the 4-implant procedure done there. Doc didn’t know what to say when I told him what Dr. Mark wanted to do with 8 implants and his cost, I could sense he was looking at me like an idiot since I spent more $ in La Jolla for something not as great. Later I read into Dr. Mark’s dental background, I guess he has a double specialty where he was also taught on a third. Still he didn’t have to be a jerk and decline my denture.

It is a pleasure to serve you. We hope to see you soon. Thank you very much for your visit.
Dr. Bartell has been my dentist for 30 years... I moved to Texas from San Diego in 1996 but I drive to San Diego to visit friends and to come to my wonderful dentist! Over the years I have needed 10 crowns, all by Dr. Bartell! I have never had a complication and they are all as beautiful as ever! I just completed my 3rd visit today having completed a root canal last week and tooth whitening…

This dentist office is very very good at what they do. They are nice, professional, and honest. I come from Los Angeles to come get my teeth cleaned and worked on because they are very affordable and they tell you the truth about what you need done on your teeth.
