I have been a patient of Dr Ahmedo for many years I’ve always loved his work. He is friendly, compassionate and very professional. Going to the dentist is not my favorite thing to do but I know I’m in good hands with Dr Ahmedo and his staff. As a matter of fact, few days ago, I handed his business card to one of my coworkers.In addition, it’s very easy to get a hold of Dr. Ahmedo especially if I have dental emergencies.

Dr. Ahmedo is the best! Recently had a wisdom tooth that broke and needed help ASAP. My husband and I had treated w him at his Sorrento Valley location a while back.His staff scheduled me right away. I went in with 10/10 anxiety for the procedure. Dr. Ahmedo is very friendly/personable. He started and finished the extraction in just a few minutes. I walked out with no pain which translated to no more anxiety. Zero discomfort. Overall amazing experience for what I consider a traumatic eventHe's definitely our guy and highly recommend for all your dental needs. We are also a cash pay family, and his prices were extremely affordableThank you Dr. Ahmedo!! You're a gem

I visited Dr. Bashar's dental office a handful of times this year as I had not been to the dentist in years, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and professional.Dr. Bashar took the time to explain every step of the process. The attention to detail and genuine concern for my comfort was consistent with every visit. From wisdom teeth extractions to crowns and fillings, I experienced minimal discomfort and the results were outstanding.I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking top-notch dental care. Five stars all the way!
