Reviews of SLO Smiles in San Luis Obispo, CA

Thank you for getting me an appointment on short notice.Debbie and Dr. Berry made me feel comfortable and well informed before,during,and after the procedure.I was very happy with the care and the visit!

I have never had such a pleasant experience with a dentist before. I wasn’t even an official patient when I broke a tooth. The office had me come in to look at it and set a date to be fixed. Unfortunately I needed surgery before that date so somehow they got me in right away. I was there for 3 hours but it didn’t feel like it. I was so nervous but from the beginning I never had any pain. I didn’t even feel the shot!!! The whole experience was amazing!! Dr Leopold is the most caring, gentle, compassionate dentist I’ve ever had. After making me a crown and building up another tooth I was done. But to my surprise at 7:30 Dr Leopold called me to see how I was doing!!! How amazing is that? Someone who cares enough to personally check up on you! Told me to let him know if any adjustments needed to be made and also said I was a good patient! I can’t say enough about this doctor and the staff that made this all possible. The friendliest office staff that puts you right at ease as well and makes you feel like you are part of their family! I will be sure to spread the word on how fantastic my experience was. Thank you all so much.

I loved the woman that cleaned my teeth! I cant for the life of me remember her last name. I was having a sort of bad morning and she really turned my day around. Super funny and friendly! Looking forward to my 6 month appointment now :)

From start to finish, my experience with SLO Smiles San Luis Obispo was over the top. The thorough patient exam included a saliva test that was shown to me microscopically, very impressive. I entrusted them with the replacement of my esthetic crowns as well. Ian Leopold is by far the most meticulous dentist I have ever experienced as was his trusty assistant Gena and also extremely thorough hygienist Michelle. The office staff is very organized, helpful and professional. Thank you SLO Smiles, my forever dentist office!!!

I've been with Maria and Dr. Main for about a dozen years because I know I'm getting state-of-the-art compassionate care and it's always a perfect experience. In 2015 I moved to Paso Robles and tried another local dentist a few times but went straight back to Maria, Dr. Main and their superb office staff. They're always on time, take care of me and check me out smoothly. What more could I ask for?

Dedicated to doing a good job and keeping me comfortable. The team always made sure everything fit right and was healing properly throughout the implant process. I am very happy with the way my smile turned out!

For over 30 years I have been a patient at this office. From the staff at the front desk to Maria, my dental hygienist, to Dr. Ian all make you welcome.They are professional in every way. Maria always greets with her super smile and friendly way. She asks the right questions and makes the whole experience comfortable for something we don’t necessarily look forward to. She also gives helpful tips on ways to improve one’s oral care. Thumbs up to this great caring group of professionals!

My dental hygienist Tikie is the best professional hygienist I have ever had. She convinced me to try a water pick. It was amazing. I have never felt like my teeth and gums were so clean. My check ups improved greatly.

Well, there's the good and the bad. The good-Maria does a GREAT job cleaning my teeth. Noticed that she has a very precise method and control of her tools so I don't get any bleeding without sacrificing the cleanup. Turns out to be a relaxing experience. Always gives additional tips that are appreciated. Shows dedication to the craft. The bad? Well, there is a truism at my job that an "Attaboy" will be followed by an "Ah, s..t!". I HOPE IT NEVER HAPPENS to her. She's too good a hygienist!!

The best dental care I’ve had in my life, they are professional, kind and take great care of me. I would recommend them to anyone!

Good! Implant process is painfully slow but they do the best they can to make it as fast as possible

Very convenient hours, and a very through approach. Friendly staff and I appreciated spending quality time with the dentist and received a quick return call with follow up information. I also loved seeing my bacteria on the big screen! That was cool! Now I know what I'm brushing away! Thanks! Marie

I have recently moved from another state and was referred to this dentist office. What a nice and pleasant experience I had. Dr Murphy was so thorough and knowledgeable. He made me feel comfortable and in good hands. Jenny took good care of me while taking xrays and Preparing me for my journey as a new patient. She was so courteous and professional and made me feel glad I had chosen this office for my dental needs. I look forward to being cared for by this dental team.

I have been going to Dr Main for 20+ years and he and SLO Smiles are great! I am very happy with my Dentist! My hygienist is Maria and she is fantastic! She is very thorough and gentle too. I have been seeing her for my teeth cleaning for about 14 years. I can highly recommend SLO Smiles , Dr Main and Maria!

I have been going to Dr. Murphy at SLO Smiles for at least 20 years. I am so pleased with the care he gives my teeth. Maria my dental hygienist is great as well. I get anxious when it comes to dental work and they handle my concerns beautifully. Thank you for your professional care.

I hadn't been to a dentist in a while and wanted to make sure I went to a really good one. They have flexible hours, so you can go after work. Everyone is super nice! Isabel was my dental assistant and she made me feel very comfortable and welcomed. Before I was even a patient I asked the receptionist a few questions and she was very helpful and warm even though I wasnt even a patient yet and wasn't calling to schedule a consultation. The dentist I got was very calm and communicated with me through the whole procedure of fillings.

Friendly, courteous and sharp at the front desk! Friendly, courteous and sharp for cleaning! Friendly, courteous and sharp in the dentist chair! Look no further

My family and I have been going to SLOSMILES since 1977 when the practice first opened. I was in my mid 20’s and had always feared going to the dentist. I found the easy going atmosphere and genuine caring for each patient calming and comforting. The straight forward talk by the dentist about all procedures helped ease my anxiety. The commitment by hygienists to give the most up to date information regarding home care is very helpful. Thank you SLOSMILES for all my years of great care.

Back in 2010, I was 19 years old and broke my two front teeth almost in half. I was devastated. My smile had always been one of my favorite traits and I was utterly terrified that I needed crowns. Dr. Ian Leopold was patient and empathetic throughout the entire process. He understood my anxiety and assured me that the final results would be great. Dr. Ian Leopold completed each step with exceptional skill, including creating temporary caps and administering numbing shots (nothing like watching a needle go into your gums). He ensured that that the final fit was perfect and that my teeth looked natural. What prompted me to write this post, is that even ten years later—my crowns still are perfect. No chipping, discoloration, or irritation. My teeth look completely natural and no one knows that I have crowns unless I tell them. I have gone to numerous dentists over the years and even they don’t know that I have crowns until they see an x-ray or do an exam. I purposely don’t tell dentists beforehand, just to see their reaction as they exclaim at the skill that took to complete such excellent teeth. If you need crowns, I highly HIGHLY recommend going to SLO Smiles!

Most excellent care provided by Dr. Main and dental team!

On time , friendly staff and educational experience!

I have had 20 years of excellent Dental care from Slo Smiles. This practice keeps up on all the latest dental care out there and I have been a candidate. The staff is personable, caring and knowledgeable. I would recommend SLO Smiles for all your dental needs.

having been a patient for many years ,i am always pleased by the staff new as well as old timers who treat you with such a caring attitude.Attitudes are caught not taught and the staff reflect this from the top to the front desk . It is a shame other offices do not share this approach to patients .
