I am terrified of dentist on the normal. It had been 20 years since my last visit and it was only because I was dying in pain. The dentist that I had been seen by 20 years prior was at the same office just he had Retired so I decided to give them a chance. Best decision they were so caring Patient and understanding to my insanity. I would recommend bright smile and Dr. Bashar Ahmedo to Anybody who needs a dentist that can work with a terrified patient. They make you feel comfortable and heard. They are amazing and I thank God I found them. He’s my hero.

I get very anxious going to the dentist especially when it is one I have never been to. I was treated with so much compassion and kindness from the moment they answered the phone. From the new patient check in to the check out after the appointment I was so comfortable and calm because I felt like I was one of their family and nothing was going to hurt me or go wrong. I was so pleased that the quickly got me in for an appointment and didn’t try to upsell me with more work than I needed done. I highly recommend this dental practice.

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
